Do they have rituals or other motions they go through to calm themselves following violence?

That’s an easy one.

When she is experiencing anything she doesn’t know how to deal with-- usually her emotions--she has something tried and true that always helps.

She goes home and she waits for the stars.

if your muse is uncomfortable in a relationship, will they address the problem or keep quiet?

Maril isn’t overly likely to bring up things that she is uncomfortable with; it’s a mixture of not really understanding/realizing that she might be uncomfortable, combined with an overwhelming understanding of that she is in a relationship that will test her a lot. So it’s very much a call-out situation from the other half of the relationship, or her environment.

N’idawa wouldn’t just mention it, she like to go on the warpath for change if she’s really unhappy with something, both in her relationship and in other situations.

Thala’to believes in open communication, but he’s also very thoughtful in the process, so he might not bring something up until it has bothered him for ~a few months.

💕: how does my muse express their feelings? do they do through small but meaningful gestures, or through bold declarations?

Kiara has always believed that the small, meaningful gestures are more trustworthy than bold declarations, and has always shown her affection for others by doing anything she can to keep them happy and comfortable. To her, making charismatic claims of love or friendship is easy and most people are willing to do that before they realize whether or not they are willing to commit to that friendship or relationship. She might playfully express interest in a new friend or potential romantic interest, but she wants to let her actions convey her genuine feelings.

🌾 : Do you like a lot of scenery description or do you like to keep it simple? Any reason for it?

In general I am all about the scenery description, both from others and for myself. I mean, I absolutely LOVED all of the Wheel of Time books for heaven’s sake...I do love me some superfluous details. That said, if it starts getting a little *too* purple-prose-y, I might lose my way, but that’s a very rare occurrence. Basically, para RPers, please do interact! I love feeling immersed in the moments people are trying to convey.

ω: Have you ever dyed your hair? If so, what color(s)?

I have, yes! Over my 30-some years of living I have had it died black, red, blonde, pink, and purple, in various different amounts, sometimes multiple at the same time! I honestly kinda miss being able to do wild and crazy things with it like I used to, but sadly boring adult work life makes that a bit harder. I do wanna dye it a nice red again sometime soon, though! 

Thanks @nerd-ology!

✆ - What is your muse’s phone gallery filled with?

The tomestone she carries with her is used to study things around her in depth, so naturally it is filled with many pictures of people, building, plants, animals, and all sorts of other things she’s become curios of when crossing them! Most of it is used for her studies and research, but sometimes she likes to just take pictures of things that make her happy or that are pretty.

What’s a saying you say a lot?

I swear in Spongebob-ese. “Fishsticks!” “Tartar sauce!” It’s a habit I developed soon after this show came out. It allows me to vent my frustration in a socially acceptable manner (I still swear but this is far funnier and garners a hilarious reaction from people).

Solitude: Name 3 things your muse couldn’t live without.

"Alcohol, smoking, and liquor.”“Yes, those three exact things.”
