shylock as a character is so interesting because she's someone who uses love as a defence mechanism to hide the fact that she;s probably never felt loved once in her whole life because she tends to fall in love with people who are into things bigger than anyone could imagine and humans die and life moves on without her so she's stuck at her bar with her wine brewed by her long dead family trying to be so affectionate so nobody will ever notice that she's just really really really lonely
does your muse use any social media? what sites do they use? how much of an online presence do they have?
she uses a couple, mainly just instagram for any personal things, and then has a work twitter! but mainly just the ig !!
what kind of accounts does your muse follow online? and what do they post on their own accounts?
for work, it’s solely senators, politicians, white house staff etc. for her personal instagram, it’s friends, her siblings, different artists she really likes the work of etc.
is your muse comfortable with a phone or computer? do they use them often? how literate are they with technology?
yeah, sella has definitely gotten comfortable with technology!! when she first got here, she definitely hated it and wasn’t good at using any of it. but now that her job really centers around technology, she’s as comfortable as the next twenty-something year old!
what kind of profile picture(s) does your muse use on various apps? how often do they change their profile pic/icon?
she uses the same photo across every platform!! she doesn’t really change it ever??
are they someone who takes a ton of photos when they’re with friends or family? do they end up in a lot of photos?
sella really loves taking pictures of her friends and family, she will take them whenever she can. honestly, she probably ends up in a lot of photos as well, but she prefers taking them. she just is a huge fan of documenting this time with her and her siblings, knowing they’re safe, that they can be themselves and be happy as a family.
if given the opportunity, would your muse prefer to make money through an online channel rather than a traditional job?
i don’t think so, i think sella enjoys working too much to do something in any kind of social media career. she likes having that traditional job separation.
do they have any hobbies that take up a lot of their time? what are they? are there any special interests your muse has that they like to share with people? are there any that they keep secret?
beyond her art, not really? between work, school, her family, and art, she really doesn’t have a lot of time for other hobbies. she enjoys going to museums, spending time out in parks and enjoying nature, just anything that keeps her out of the house. sella hates being a homebody, she was kept so sheltered and really only left the family’s estate every so often that now, she will do anything she can to be out of her apartment.
your muse has a whole day to themselves but not enough time to plan a trip or event. what do they do for that free day?
she’s taking herself, her art supplies and parking herself in the middle of the mall and having a damn blast.
does your muse listen to anything in particular in their private time? if so, are they more of a music person or a podcast person? what genres do they prefer?
she’s become more of a music person since coming to the city. she’s a big fan of like indie folk vibes.
would your muse prefer to go out to spend time with loved ones, or would they rather stay in?
going out and doing something, 100% !!!
does your muse use any dating apps, or do they prefer to meet people the old fashioned way?
no, she definitely likes meeting people the old fashioned way. aka dating your boss’ family :)
if they absolutely had to write a tinder bio what would it say?
take me to a museum and tell me i’m the prettiest thing there.
maig wasting time on photoshop pt. 1 || character pets !!
sella palpatine and allana solo’s cat turnip. 3 years old. hates everyone except sella and will make you feel judged for coming near him. very spoiled. an absolute king.
where does your muse live? a house? apartment? how big is the space?
sella currently lives in a a large two bedroom apartment about two blocks away from the white house. it’s a very nice apartment, honestly. like way nicer than she should be able to afford on an intern salary but, ya know. we’ll cover that in a minute. she has enough room to not only have her own space, but she also has converted the second bedroom into an art studio. she uses the smaller one as her actual bedroom, and the larger main bedroom as that studio space.
does your muse live with anyone else? who are those people?
this is sort of in flux at the moment. technically, she lives on her own, but at the moment, her girlfriend allana is staying with her, which honestly, sella is kinda excited about. she doesn’t spend a ton of time at home since it gets lonely so she likes having someone else there.
though, if you look on sella’s lease, her name is not the only name on it, as it’s technically rented under her brother sheev’s name. he is the one paying her rent after helping her move out of the city run housing. though, sella does not know that he worked her lease to cover that, since she pays her utilities she just thinks rent is included in that price. (this all came from the fact that when sella was unaware, she expressed being overworked because she had to pay rent, her bills, and her tuition, so sheev took care of that without telling her)
how much time does your muse spend in their place? do they go out often or spend a lot of time in?
honestly, not a lot? if she is home, she’s in her studio. but she doesn’t like spending a lot of time just sitting around at home as she gets pretty lonely. she’s spending more time there since allana has been living with her, but usually, she is out. between her work and school schedule, it didn’t leave a ton of time for her to hang out at home anyways, so she takes that spare time to be out and about.
what is the view outside of your muse’s window?
she has a really nice view of lafayette square, as well as the washington monument. very much picturesque view of washington dc. she has a better view on the rooftop of her apartment building, which overlooks pretty much the entire white house area.
what do they sleep on? do they have a lot of pillows? what about blankets or stuffed animals?
sella has A LOT of throw pillows, throw blankets, just a lot of comfy things. but, she does not sleep on them. she sleeps with two pillows, and like two blankets. maybe a third if she’s cold. she is a big fan of the look of them, but she doesn’t like feeling super crowded in bed. back on naboo, she did have one stuffed doll that was always on her bed, even as she got older, it was one of those comfort items she never wanted to really let go of, but she doesn’t really have any here in the city. though, please do not introduce her to like squishmallows because i can absolutely see her being a little unhinged collecting those.
what items do they keep next to their bed?
her phone, water bottle, journal, a little jewelry dish so she can take off the pieces she wears daily, and also an ever rotating bouquet of flowers.
what is your muse’s most valuable possession?
see this photo. she currently is not in possession of her most valuable possession. but she will be. mark my words, sabina.
otherwise, honestly, i’d say it’s some of her artwork. as well as, as cheesy as it sounds, a photo frame that has like, a couple spots in it, that is filled with pictures of her and her family.
does your muse like to keep a lot of trinkets around or are they more minimalistic?
sella absolutely has a lot of trinkets, she loves having things that make her happy around. i wouldn’t say her apartment is like, cluttered, but it’s lived in. especially her desk, that’s where she keeps most of her trinkets. she has a lot of statues, vases, little plant pots, just anything she sees that she ends up liking. a lot is displayed there since she likes to keep the area around her bed tidier.
does your muse have any pictures up? what are they of?
so. many. pictures. god, between her paintings or other prints she has bought, and then photos of her family, her walls are definitely the more cluttered things in her place. she has paintings she’d made, art prints she’s bought-- she’s very into monet. as for photos, she has !! so many !! her fridge is covered in pictures she’s printed out. they’re all of her family, of her and allana, just, so many. there is no denying she loves her family if you take one look at the collage she’s made on her fridge.
what, if any, other decorations does your muse have?
big fan of like table top statues, fuzzy rugs, fairy lights literally everywhere. lots of lamps, honestly. she does not use the overhead lights in her apartment so it’s a lot of fun lights everywhere. definitely has a couple disco balls in her studio. honestly, if it’s pink and cute, she’s gonna find a place for it in one of these rooms.
does your muse like having guests over?
absolutely, please. she loves having people over and wants to do it more. she’s trying to convince the family to let her hold weekly family dinners !!! so look out palpatines :)
how tidy is your muse’s home/room?
it’s very tidy, honestly. the only untidy thing would be that she doesn’t always make her bed, but sella likes to keep things clean, so she doesn’t let things get dirty too often. her studio is a different story though, she sort of explodes when she’s painting so it’s always a wreck in there, but she knows where everything is so she will not be taking any criticism on it.
does your muse have any pets living with them? what about plants?
sella has a lot of like, fake plants. she does not have a green thumb so she doesn’t have any real ones. she would love a cat. she hasn’t committed to getting one, but one day.
is your muse happy with their living situation? what would your muse’s dream house look like?
very !! honestly, this is more than sella could have ever asked for when it comes to living on her own, so she’s like, very happy with where she lives. she doesn’t want to really change a thing, except maybe have a whole house one day, but that is a very long time from now. she really enjoys her apartment as is.
below the cut is going to be just a plotting update as my girl sella palpatine is now unaware from being unalived !! this will have some event vibes along with stuff for once it’s over !!
sella believes she’s been in the city for around three years now, having been pulled to the city from her home world, but has settled into the city, more than excited for schooling opportunities as well as having landed the internship within the white house as winter celchu’s personal assistant.
she is currently enrolled the george washington university, but specifically corcoran school of art and design and getting a fine arts degree.
she’s living near the campus in an apartment, would definitely love some roommate vibes !!!
sella still knows that she is not from earth, she believes she grew up on coruscant with a highly political family and always enjoyed shadowing her parents. but (because of the event giving her force sensitivity) she believes she has always had the force, but was never given the chance to properly train with it. her parents did not want her to use it, to be anything like the jedi. so it’s been suppressed until she arrived in the city.
she is now using the opportunity in the city to learn more about the force, to train with it finally. will high high key be a mess when the event ends and her ability is gone.
is thinking about leaving her job at the white house, the vibes are just not what she thought they would be, so she’s looking at other options though she just cannot seem to settle into anything that she likes more than what she’s doing now. she likes her coworkers, but it’s just not something she wants to do forever, being stuck in the world of politics again.
spends a lot of time outside on the mall drawing tourists for a quick buck, but also a lot fo time in the museums when she gets a break between classes and work.
potential plots -
co workers in the white house
roommates!!!
friends she’s met the muesums
classmates
just good people to be her friends, she just loves good vibes

star headcanons || not accepting
i know plenty of the other palpatines would most likely say yes to doing anything to ruin their father, cosinga, sella might be the one member of the family that would actively choose not to do anything against him. she has always been rather nonviolent. it was a huge part of the fight between herself and sheev, that she doesn’t believe in hurting anyone, no matter what they’ve done to you. so, i really do not think she would ever take the chance to hurt any of her enemies, especially when the only is indeed her father.

relationship building || meme day || not accepting
home by gabrielle aplin !! honestly just big vibes for them esp because for sella, home was never a place, the building they grew up in was never something she would have called home. but it was always her siblings. she always felt home when she was with sabina, seeing her, having her with her, that was home. and she will always, even if they’re not together, consider her home to still be her family above all else.
