Sadness: I guess it depends how long I’ve been sad…sometimes I get edgy when I’m sad, and I snap at people. Other times I just get really quiet and try not to say much. You know how sometimes you can hold it together until someone asks if you’re okay, and then suddenly everything comes crashing down? Yeah, that’s when I try not to say much. Then I just turn into a crying heap in a bundle of blankets.

Eyes: My eyes are big and brown, not sure what else there is to say here? Badr says they’re pretty, but he says that everything about me is pretty.

Favorite Food/Eating Habits: I don’t suppose it’s any secret that my favorite food is baklava and my mother-in-law’s fish soup. But I also really like fresh bread. I typically eat two or three meals a day.

Ideal Holiday: One where I get to spend time with my family, of course, and everyone is happy. Typically good food is involved in our holidays too.

Writing Style: I don’t do much writing (besides what Tei makes me do, of course!). It’s not something I have resources or time for. Sometimes I tell stories, but that’s a little different than writing them down.

Taste in Music/Literature: I also don’t get to do much reading. But I like folk tales, and I (mostly) love the songs that the fishermen sing. There are a couple that might be a little…uh…vulgar, but most of them I like.

How the character greets people

Typically I say 'hello." It depends on the person--for example, you I would greet with "hello, sir" and a curtsey. My husband gets greeted with a kiss, Sinbad gets greeted with a hug, friends sometimes get greeted with "what ho?," which is Partevian slang and the equivalent of "what's up?"

Weather the character enjoys

I like the warm, but not too warm. And I can't stand weather that's excessively hot and humid--I cried due to weather a couple of times when I was pregnant. I can deal with the cold--add blankets or layers or my husband--but when I say "cold" I mean "cold by Partevian standards," which isn't really very cold at all!

What makes the character happy

Making things makes me very happy. Creating something that wasn't there before--especially if it makes someone else happy too. There's nothing quite like the look on someone's face when I give them something I've made for them!

What worries the character

Oh, heavens, I worry about everything. I used to worry about keeping us fed, making sure Badr stayed out of trouble, making sure Sin stayed out of trouble--I still worry about Sin staying out of trouble. In fact, I worry about that a lot...

What animals the character likes and if they have a pet/pets

I like small things—lizards, cats, shrews, even mice as long as they aren’t in the house. I don’t like dogs.

What the character daydreams or thinks about

I used to daydream about a life where we’d be living comfortably and happily, where Badr could fish for fun and I could sew with really fine material. Where we could eat more than just fish and rice and where we wouldn’t have to worry about making ends meet. Now I mostly daydream about if Badr would stay in from fishing to snuggle once in a while!

What scares the character

The thought of war coming to Sindria and uprooting it like what happened in Partevia. I never want to go through that again.

Cute Headcanon: Esla would sometimes make flower crowns to make others feel better.

((Accepted. She made Badr a flower crown on his 11th birthday, in other news.))

As a child, Esla never really liked fish. It was quite a funny situation, as her family often got fish from Badr's in exchange for grown goods. Or maybe jarred preserves? Anyways, it became Badr's personal mission to find a fish she'd like to eat, and Esla ended up pretending she liked them because she felt bad. And then the more she ate them the more she got used to them.

((Her father was a carpenter and her mother was a seamstress, but I can get behind them having had fish all the time, seeing as how they lived in a fishing village. It would indeed be quite a situation if Esla didn’t really like them XD

((I’ll say this one is accepted XDDD She’s gotten good at cooking them in ways that she likes XP))

Headcanon: When one of her children (since she adopted many <||D ), especially applyng to Sinny, get sick she fusses and feeds them soup and mommies them until they're better.

((Accepted—she does it to practically anyone who will listen to her when she tells them to sit down and eat soup! XDDD))

Random fact about me? Um…when I was a little girl, I used to hate that hat my mama made me wear when we went out. In hindsight I suppose they weren’t so bad, but at the time I thought they looked silly. And they made my hair messy.

And another phobia? Goodness, I’m skittish, but I don’t know that I have many real phobias…I used to be very afraid of being naked unless I was very alone or in the bath.

And something about me sleeping…w-well…did I ever mention that Sin got his…quirk…from me? I don’t do it anywhere near as badly as he does!
