LGBT mems: I grew up in the era of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, a policy that effectively made it illegal to serve in the armed forces if you were LGBT. We were also told never to ask anyone their gender identity or sexual orientation and not to answer truthfully if asked. Tony knew, though. Tony always knew and he accepted me before I had accepted myself. Eventually Pepper figured it out. She never treated me differently for being bi, though. None of my friends did and, to give the devil his due, even Stane, a heartless jackass of a villain, didn't make a comment on it.
Canon lookalikes: I looked a lot like IRL model Salomon Diaz, but with more pronounced eyebrows and a bit more bulky build. And older, obviously, since I lived to be well over twice his current age by any estimate I've come up with. I wasn't nearly as snazzy of a dresser as this guy is, though. That was all Pepper telling me what colors worked best on me and my taking her word for it. She always picked out the right things to make Tony look good, I trusted her to help me out. (Yeah, that's yet another thing Pepper is better at than everyone around her. Just another day ending in y for her.)
Canon interests: Languages. I collect books on languages, I speak three, I'm on year three of studying a fourth, and I've recently gotten into a fifth. My dyslexia and Auditory Processing Disorder will not stop me from pursuing my interests. My ADHD tendency to hyperfixate is fighting my dyslexia and APD and it's winning.
