Chimera: Does your muse tend to be aggressive?

situationally.  on one hand, he’s patient and understanding, eager to help, a bit of a people pleaser.  on the other, he has the tendency to become wholly focused on something he’s passionate about, and this often lends itself to some aggression.  probably for the best that he was a keeper and not a more offensive position in quidditch.

What secret does you muse keep hidden?

Dove doesn’t have a lot of big secrets, per se. I do think that she’s hesitant about sharing how angry she can get, sometimes, and how that anger tends to fuel her. How ruthless she is, how far she is willing to go. The war has only been going on openly for three weeks, but Dove -- fatalistic as she is -- has been thinking about what would happen in a future war for a long time. Her role in it, too, she has imagined. 

Here’s the thing: Dove has no empathy for Death Eaters. No compassion. Nothing. Which, in all truth, isn’t completely irrational, but it does mean - in her case - that she has no forgiveness for them, no mercy. She’s willing to kill, and she knows it. It’s a chilling thought, and she hasn’t said it yet, not seriously at least. But it feels like an inevitable truth, one she does keep quiet.

Which of the Seven Deadly Sins relates to your muse?

Wrath, with pride as a close second. Dove’s anger is limitless. It’s the one negative emotion she feels comfortable with, too, as she’s able to shape it into something. Sadness, grief, stress ... that all seems to freeze her, whereas anger mobilises her. She indulges her anger, feeds it, especially these days. 

What makes your muse lose control?

Dove can get very heated in discussions, and lose her cool in those when she gets passionate. Losing, in general, makes Dove want to throw a fit, even at twenty three. People who skip songs before they’re finished make her want to scream. Men. Just men.

And, in all seriousness, the way her thoughts can spiral. Dove’s biggest fear has come true now that there’s a war again, and when she thinks about her siblings, as well as all the other people she knows and loves who are fighting this war ... she gets swallowed up by fear, and it’s something that grips her, really. Sometimes, it freezes her up. Most of the time, it makes her lose control, in one way or another.
