roah-💀🌈🌌 , pax- 🦠 🐾 etha- 🎉✍️👑 also how dare u turn anon back off

Bold of you to assume I ever turned it back on.

Roah

💀 - what do you dislike about them/what would you dislike about them, if they were a real person? Their excessive negativity and apprehension towards trusting others. I do understand it (they're based on me after all), but I also know that not trusting anyone is just as bad as trusting everyone, and isolating yourself won't make you any happier.

🌈 - what's their most defining traits? Their resting bitch face (when they're not obligated to smile for work), their bluntness, and their excessively baggy clothes.

🌌 - where do they feel safest? what places do they like the most? why? They don't feel safe anywhere in particular. They're usually on edge and they only feel "safe" if they know they have their Nen ready to use. But they do like beaches/the sea and big open fields, since it reminds them of their childhood, even as bittersweet as it is.

Pax

🦠 - do they get sick easily? Not any sicker than the average person. Cold/flu here and there.

🐾 - if they could be any animal, what would they be? any special reason? He wouldn't want to be an animal. He thinks there's nothing better than a human being.

Etha

🎉 - how do they feel about interacting with strangers? Etha is very quiet and apprehensive of others, usually because she assumes they're suspicious of her and somehow know she's not human. She always feels she has to perform a certain way and it tires her out. If people happen to know she’s a Kiriko, and they've made it clear they're okay with that, she's very friendly and loving.

✍️ - what do you like about them/what would you like about them, if they were a real person? She is so sweet and affectionate, especially to her younger brother. She also has a lot of fun hobbies!

👑 - what's their favorite childhood memory? if they didn't have a childhood, would they like to have one? Spending time traveling for the Exam with her family. Her parents always took her along and she she loved getting to see all the new regions and people.

1-10 for Etha for the OC ask?

Thank you 😊

1. How good is their sight? Very good! As a Kiriko I assume her sight is above that of a human's especially at night.

2. Do they have any scars? Beyond a few cuts and scratches not really. She heals quickly.

3. Do they have any bad habits? She is very self-deprecating and quick to find fault with herself, even if it’s obvious something is not her fault. For instance, if someone treats her badly, she will immediately assume she deserves to be treated in such a way rather than say that they should not have been cruel to her.

4. How tall are they? 5'4 in human form and 8'10 in Kiriko form! On the shorter side for a Kiriko (both her parents are short).

5. Where do they like to hang out? She likes to go into the nearby village to window shop, or get sewing or painting supplies. Will often take her brother swimming down by the lake near her home. Otherwise she is at home reading, painting or making clothing!

6. How do they respond to criticism? Not very well. Either gets very defensive or passively accepting. She is very quick to point blame at herself so her reaction is either based on protecting or hurting herself.

7. Do they prefer crowds or being alone? She feels safer in small groups or alone. She feels that large groups of people are always suspicious that she's not really human, regardless of whether its true or not.

8. What's something that will always make them smile? Her baby brother. Anything funny he does or just spending time with him. She also likes when Nara visits...

9. Can they cook? She doesn't do it often but she can. Very simple dishes. She prefers to bake things like bread though.

10. What's their favourite food or drink? She will tell you she doesn't like meat but she has always loved anything her father roasts/smokes, especially fish. Otherwise she likes fruit particularly berries!

Under the cut!

Nara

4. What are 3 of their irrational fears? Confined spaces, the dark, others hating her.

7. Answered!

10. Favorite place? Do they go there often? The forest. Yes.

14. Choose an AU you think would be interesting for them to be a part of. Who would they be? I like to imagine an alternate reality where she (and her immediate family) are also Kirikos.

16. How do they like their baths/showers? Hot/cold, long/short? She loves hot baths but is often too busy with work/chores to bother taking one. Otherwise she likes hot (quicker) showers.

17. Do they consider themselves to be romantic? Why or why not? Not really. She'll do traditional date stuff (going out to eat, holding hands) but mostly she just wants someone fun to hang out with while she does her own thing.

24. Where did their name come from? Does it have meaning? Her parents liked longer girls names that ended and began with vowels. They didn't look into the meaning much, but hers means "merciful" and I feel that suits her very well.

25. What events changed them as a child? Honestly...her entire childhood. Being ignored or treated as a tenant or employee rather than a daughter by her parents. It made her very eager to please, even subconsciously, and terrified of criticism or the retribution that would ensue if she made a mistake or made someone upset. As a result, she has a tendency to be a bit of a peacekeeper and ignore her own needs to make others happy.

Etha

3. Are they an early bird or night owl? Very much an early bird. She likes to go swimming as soon as it's light out most mornings.

5. How affectionate are they? What are their top love languages? Etha can be very standoffish and seemingly cold, but she's generally just very suspicious of strangers. She is quite warm with people she knows and cares about, though. Her love language is words of affirmation - she longs to be told she is worthy the way she is.

6. On an average day, what can they be found doing after dinner? Probably walking in the forest around her home, or painting or reading once it's dark outside.

11. Who was their child hero/heroine? She looked up to Hunters a lot. She no longer does.

12. Are they hot-headed or even-tempered? What frustrates them the most? She can be very cool and collected, but when her family (particularly her brother) or friends are involved, she won't hesitate long before letting her emotions get the better of them. What frustrates her the most would probably be her feelings of envy towards humans - she knows it's a useless emotion, but she also still wishes things were different for her.

14. Choose an AU you think would be interesting for them to be a part of. Who would they be? I would have wanted to see her learn Nen as well. That or maybe have her and Nara fall in love 😅

17. Do they consider themselves to be romantic? Why or why not? She would very much want to be, but she...isn't. She's very shy and awkward and everything she knows about romance comes from books. The whole "love at first sight" and "happily ever after" tropes are alive and well in her mind.

22. What is something others admire about them? Are they aware that people admire them for this? Kinder Hunter applicants that stumble through her belongings always remark she is quite talented at the crafts she might be working on that are out in the open (like her painting or wood carving). Her younger brother meanwhile thinks she makes the best strawberry shortcake. In any case Etha is very humble and is quick to discount her talents or abilities. She's the type of person to laugh and blush if you compliment her but not really say much of anything.
