Mia couldn’t remember when or how she’d gotten wrapped in a chat with him, but a few drinks in and feeling alive, she knew where the conversation was headed before she’d even changed the topic to what had been on her mind, stewing away for weeks, months even, already. She glanced over her shoulder and eyed Atlas with curious eyes, twiddling her thumbs before she turned on her bar stool to face him properly. “Hypothetically speaking,” she began. No sentence that started like that was ever hypothetical. “If someone had family, like a long-lost half-sibling, that they knew about but said half-sibling had no clue they even existed… and there’s also a heart-breaking story of how that half-sibling was left behind by their mother… but they both lived in the same place and could get to know each other, would you say that’s worth exploring?” Mia decidedly left out the asking for a friend part. “Or is that just a lot of trouble waiting to happen?”

Zootopia

Zootopia - Would your muse enjoy living in a utopia, or would they feel out of place?

Zhyan would feel out of place, like he doesn’t belong. After all he’s done, after all the deaths, and the lack of act he’s shown, a Utopia would be too much for him. Mostly because he figures he will end up destroying things himself, or that people will realise what he’s done.

Cinderella

Cinderella - Did your muse experience any childhood traumas? Did they overcome them?

Childhood trauma’s, no. Maxi had a pretty standard childhood. Even as a British Pakistani, he had a privileged upbringing. He was relatively smart, and at school he often hung out with other Asian kids, of which there were a few. At home however he always hung out with Rose and her little sister, or with Rose’s friends, who - since Maxi was older - more often ended up trying to prove something to him than treat him different for his skin colour. It helped that Rose would throw anyone under the bus who dared to say such a thing to him. But he was well aware it was only a personal matter, they had grown up together after all.

Wreck-It Ralph

Wreck-It Ralph - What does ‘being a winner’ mean to your muse?

To Sahid it means being popular and having life pretty much figured out, or at least on the outside. Brandon is definitely a winner to them, someone who hold the attention of everyone in the room, who has a beautiful wife, and a beautiful child. Brandon is looked up to, even though he sticks out like a sour thumb within the community, but he fought to be accepted and he won it fair and square.

Aladdin, Lady and the Tramp, Alice in Wonderland

Aladdin - If your muse had 3 wishes, what would they wish for?

He wishes for his loved ones’ happiness.

He wishes to turn back time and not meet his sire.

He wishes to grow old, surrounded by his children and grandchildren as he takes his last breath, content with his life.

He also wishes to find a cure that allows him to taste again, but that has never been a priority for him, so.

Lady and the Tramp - What are your muses romantic standards? Would they ever fall for someone of a lower class?

Tuah’s romantic standards are very low. As long as they’re honest with one another, Tuah doesn’t care about their societal class, as long as he is able to love and be loved in return. He doesn’t need grand romantic gestures or extravagant gifts since he already has everything that he needs. 

Alice in Wonderland - What does your muse often dream of? Do they have strange dreams? Pleasant ones? Nightmares?

25. What are their hobbies and interests?

answered here

30. Are they holding on to something in the past? Can they forgive?

I... I never really thought about forgiveness in that sense. I know some part of me hates my mother for a lot of things she’s done, but I don’t feel like it is my place to forgive her. I can’t understand her, but I want to more than I want to think about forgiveness. 

46. Is your character tall? Short? What about size? Weight? Posture? How do they feel about their physical body?

Sahid is 1.78m, so relatively tall. They are a little on the skinny side on account of years of bad eating habits, and also sporting a bit of a beer belly. Their shoulders are always a bit forward, in a protective stance. When they were younger they were told off a lot of bad posture, so they’ve been groomed to always lengthen their spine and look forward. 

Sahid has always refrained from thinking too much about it. Aside from their mother they were the only individual of Indian descent in Wheeler, which resulted in feeling alienated a lot. Their stepbrother is biracial, and growing up Sahid always wanted his company to feel less out of sorts. They don’t think of themselves as attractive, always guessing that girls simply showed interested either because their mom set them up, or because they were an oddity - and mostly because of their attitude as Lead Alto. 

Sahid does harbour some feelings of dysphoria, though they don’t hate any part of their body in particular. To them their opinion of their body is a combination of gender, racial stereotypes, and physical scars from living near starvation for over a year. But there are also parts of themselves that they like, although those are things that Cassie liked about them. Their thick brown hair, their bushy eyebrows. Cassie would often pick out things she liked about them because she compared them to herself. Growing up they’ve always wished to look more like Brandon, but always hating that as well, because it meant looking less like their father.

6. Did they feel rejection or affection as a child?

Rejection. His father was newly married, and Zakary didn’t show a lot of aptitude for Magic and fighting. His father was a stoic man, and the woman that he never called his mother mostly wanted a child of her own. His grandmother was affectionate, but also very strict. As much as she loved him, it was his father’s approval he craved for the most, and the more he was rejected the less he noticed his grandmother’s love. 

13. Did they like school? Teachers? Schoolmates?

Zakary didn’t go to school like most. His coven ran the town, and the only school was a part of the coven as well. He was taught magic from a young age, shown how to fight, but also had a very religious upbringing. He liked those lessons the most, although they started to make less sense after he became possessed. His teachers and schoolmates were people he had grown up with, people he would see at school but also around the town. He mostly spend time with Anwar and Chi growing up. 

44. How badly do they want to obtain their life objectives? How do they pursue them?

When Zakary left Maga he was solely driven forward by the idea of living a life without war and without the responsibilities the Spirit had gained him. But arriving in Astoria has slowed down that wish, suddenly there was time. He’s mostly holding out hope that he and Laura can become a thing.

17. Did they travel? Where? Why? When?

“I’ve really only been to California, and that was for law school. I was there about five-ish years ago. I’d probably still be there if a position with the district attorney hadn’t opened up here.” 

33. Do they drink? Take drugs? What about their health?

“I drink socially or maybe have a glass of wine at the end of a long day on my own. Nothing too excessive since I usually have to work the next day. Never been interested in taking drugs. As for my health, I do what I can to stay healthy, especially since a lot of my day is me sitting at my desk going over cases. Though I’m sure my sleep schedule could be better.” 

46. Is your character tall? Short? What about size? Weight? Posture? How do they feel about their physical body?

Malia is short (156cm), but she likes to make up for it in her high heels she wears to work. It also helps make sure she’s standing tall and not slouching while she’s walking. And while she would love to be taller, she’s otherwise happy with how she looks.
