Viridian didn’t technically need sleep but well... she liked it. 

And so she questioned how she’d managed to land a job that involved waking up so early every day. Usually when the being needed to work she went for something much more... low profile. Something where her shift started at noonish and the most she did to influence the world was design the cover of an off-brand cereal box, maybe a coffee mug or two. 

Being a teacher... that was a lot of responsibility. 

Teaching up and coming super heroes? That was worse! 

So much for not interfering! She thought with a tired sigh as she trudged along the morning crowd of commuters. Her mind wandered, thinking of a place on the corner she could stop for a bagel and some coffee - a lot of coffee - and then she reminded herself that she should be grateful she got the gig at all.

Because it meant that she’d get to see her favorite student... which was almost worth waking up so early in the first place.

for the character development meme! 24, 34 and 44

24. How quick is your character to trust someone else?

Unfortunately a little too trusting. But less in a brave way and more in an “I don’t care what happens to me” sort of way. She’s actually a pretty good judge of character though, and despite her somewhat vapid personality is good at analyzing a person’s actions (too good to the point she can’t help but think too much about what a person does and says). 

The exception comes when that person tries to get close to her. She’s quick to get attached to people but very reserved when it comes to them returning her affections, possibly because it’s hard for her to believe their genuine. 

34. Is your character more likely to keep trying a solution/method that didn’t work the first time, or immediately move on to a different solution/method?

Answered this here :o 

44. How easy or difficult is it for your character to say “I love you?” Can they say it without meaning it?

Its really hard for her to say it and mean it. Its much more likely for her to say “I care about you.” or “I want you safe.” Like I’ve said, she gets easily attached to people but tends to write it off as just her being lonely or needy and won’t admit to her feelings, even to herself. It’s a very scary for her to admit she loves someone, because then that means she can lose them, or that it would hurt if they rejected her.

Shes not likely to say it if she doesn’t mean it, however. If someone else says it first then she might feel pressured to go along with it. Viridian want’s to be an honest and genuine person but is often too afraid of conflict or hurting peoples feelings to say how she really feels.
