For the OC ask game: 9 and/or 10 for Nimda!
9/10) How does your OC handle their physical/mental health? Do they take care of themselves?
Physically she is honestly pretty fine - she doesn't really think much about it, she is active and always on the move (which was maybe a lil taxing for her dad but thats beside the point), but sometimes she just Forgets to take care, simply because ... she really just doesn't think about it? And then the exhaustion hits and she just lies on the floor because she forgot to take a break. ... We also don't talk about her eating habits when she came to Eorzea, getting screwed over by all these new smells and tastes, trying to find something that reminds her of home. A terrible time, but she got there eventually.
As for mentally, she's worse about that one haha. She bottles things up a loooot, she really doesn't like speaking about her feelings. She is more someone who tries to show how she's doing. Which, really isn't it ... She is very self conscious about herself, esp in her role as the Warrior of Light, now always have to do the right thing and it does creep up in her mind from time to time. Being this single person to do it alone. Though she does have a whole character arc about all that, where she gets reminded that she has people who can help her and aren't "just" her acquaintances. (... Her friends are her power, and she uses that quite literally.)
Her pet spirit helps eating her basic bad dreams and it gets her through a lot of the early times in Eorzea. (During the time of Endwalker she has her own Fray/Esteem in form of Sigurd who takes most of the emotional blunt during All That, but that would be too long to explain here :D)
She just has a lot of feelings she wants to share by showing them how shes feeling - be it joy or sadness. It just sometimes doesn't quite come across. Being alone really doesn't do her good and she does seek out others if her mood drops - and her friends know there is definitely something wrong if she doesn't want to be around someone at least. Because then something dire is going on in her head.
This sounds so basic as an answer if i read this now but it just do be like that lmao
