Hahaha thank you for this <3. I TOTALLY forgot that Sofia is technically an OC, even with an Altin last name whoops. Honestly I would answer all the questions if you want me to ;D.
For those unaware, I will be answering these questions about my OCs from my fic Tears On The Ground, Tears On The Pillow.
4. Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
Lucas - Hm, I guess spending a lot of time in the hospital with his mother - he saw a lot of shit and that changed him in a way that’s like try and appreciate everything you have, and those who come into your life kind of thing. He talks about this with his mom a lot (or at least used to - it’s kind of like their own inside thing they agree on 100%, “appreciate what you have while you’re here”).
Asya - So Asya was in and out of a handful of homes before she officially got adopted. A lot of them weren’t…The best places for a child. She remembers a lot from being in these homes that weren’t really homes, and that affected her a lot before she hit her teenage years (She has this really hard deep rooted fear of being abandoned type of thing - It’s still there but like not as bad as when she was a child). Her parents grew to learn about this while raising her and helped in any way they could! Always giving their love and support unconditionally :’)
Sofia - Ooooh my baby Sofia. She has seen a lot of classism and bullying throughout her time at school. It’s definitely matured her, and made her come to the conclusion she doesn’t want to be like that to anyone in her life. Like she treats everyone equally and fairly. She only talks about this kind of stuff with her brother, Otabek, since he also was a part of the schooling system she is (and also witnessed this kind of stuff first hand).
7. Does your character have recurring themes in their nightmares?
Lucas - Lucas fears failure a lot, so his kind of themes are things that deal with any type of failure. It could be something as trivial as failing a test or as huge as putting all his time and effort into his dream (running his own dance studio) and just…Not having it work out. He’s scared of failing his own expectations as well as his mother’s (Even though she will love him no matter what…)
Asya - Types of things for Asya’s nightmares…She’s scared of failing in the type of way that she’ll never land something that lasts (career wise). She has these expectations of her already because of who her parents are (not from them - from others that don’t even matter really but still, they exist). Even though her parents always tell her to do what she wants, that they’ll always love her no matter what, she just doesn’t want to ‘fail’ them in this way (She just wants to prove she can ~make it~ on her own, not with her parents fame type of thing !!)
Sofia - Hm…I feel like Sofia would just have a lot of stress induced type nightmares. Studying for school and what not can be stressful, even for Sofia who feels like school is fairly easy. She has nightmares a lot about her alarm not going off on an important test day, or like trying to turn in an essay without any content in it (like an outline or something).
19. What is your character’s biggest relationship flaw? Has this flaw destroyed relationships for them before?
Lucas - Oh my son, Lucas…Lately his relationships have been destroyed by his not thinking before he speaks (particularly when he’s angry). It’s not so much that he’s just “honest”, it’s more like…He just says whatever comes to mind first, regardless if he thinks it’s true or not once he’s not angry anymore. When strong emotions come over him it’s like, “talk first, think later” type of situation for him - which has ended in a handful of bad results (including yes, destroying relationships).
Asya - It might be weird but Asya has never really focused on relationships at all? Like…Ever. She’s been with people, but never has she ever felt like she was in love with someone. If anything her biggest “flaw” would be that, not focusing on relationships and what not. She’s big on focusing on her life and work / school (and I don’t think that’s a flaw, but if I had to choose any, that would be it). There’s been people she’s been with that could have seen them going farther but she knows what she’s about, and currently it’s not relationships.
Sofia - She actually has very little experience in the relationship department! She has kissed / dated some boys but nothing ever serious enough to have any prominent flaws. But if I could give any probable future flaws…She underestimates herself a lot, and I feel like in a relationship this would translate a lot into second guessing everything (mostly second guessing herself, not her partner). I feel like this is potentially a relationship destroyer because sometimes people aren’t willing to stay and “put up with that”.
20. In what ways does your character compare themselves to others? Do they do this for the sake of self-validation, or self-criticism?
Lucas - With Lucas I think he likes to compare himself to his classmates the most. Half for self-validation, and the other for self-criticism, all depending on his mood lol. The validation part is a lot like, “Hey i’m on par with this person I think who’s really good.” The self-criticism, “I’ll never reach that level of fluidity and ease no matter how much I practice.” Like I mentioned, it depends on his mood which way it goes.
Asya - Asya’s comparisons are unfortunately matched against her parents. She takes into account the ages / time frames it took for her parents to get where they are now. I guess in this mindset it’s self-criticism more than self-validation. She doesn’t do it often but sometimes she’ll think, “Wow my mom had her first dress debuted by now” or, “My dad was already head chef in the first restaurant he worked in.” But she also tries very hard not to hold it against herself, since her parents aren’t doing that.
Sofia - Sofia is at this age where comparing yourself to someone else is like…”Normal”. Being a 16 year old, in high school, it seems like it’s a given that she would compare herself to someone more popular than her. But the thing about Sofia is that she grew out of this mentality way quicker than most, which is ideal and great. So I guess if she does compare herself to anyone, it’s mostly those who she looks up to. Ballerinas, a variety of artists…Newly, Asya ;D. It comes to be more…Self-validation I suppose. Her comparing is more like, “Look where I can be some day.”.
21.If something tragic or negative happens to your character, do they believe they may have caused or deserved it, or are they quick to blame others?
Lucas - Lately Lucas believes that anything bad that happens to him, he deserves. He definitely knows he’s caused some things (Whoops, his temper and big mouth). He’s definitely blamed someone for something he knows was his fault (or some shared fault) but that was more in his younger years when he took responsibility for nothing. But yeah he’s in this place now where he either believes he deserves it, or knows he caused it.
Asya - For a long time Asya believed that she was the main cause for literally anything negative or tragic that involved her. Sometimes she would believe she deserved it - even though she did not whatsoever. Thankfully she mostly grew out of this idea and has now landed on just the middle ground of, “I know when something is my fault, or if we share the blame, or if it’s totally someone else’s fault.” She also believes that sometimes things just happen sometimes, and maybe they were meant to happen. It doesn’t mean someone always has to be at fault, kind of thing.
Sofia - Sofia has yet to encounter a lot of tragic or negative things happening to her, but for the most part…She shares the same mentality with Asya that sometimes things were meant to happen, while sometimes things were not. That’s just the way of life, and how the world works sometimes.
44. How easy or difficult is it for your character to say “I love you?” Can they say it without meaning it?
Lucas - It’s difficult for Lucas to say it, and actually mean it. If he’s saying it pretty easily / fast, then that is a definite sign that either a) he’s going a little crazy or b) he doesn’t actually mean it in a way he could mean it.
Asya - She can say it easily, and always mean it. She has never said it without meaning it, nor do I think she ever will. She has a lot of love to spread.
Sofia - She’s only said it to family members and maybe a couple really close friends. She has meant it every time. I don’t think she would ever say it without meaning it because what would be the point in that, for her.
Oh my fuck that took me longer…Than I thought it would. But I loved every second of it and ahhhhhhhh, thank you for this ask <3.
