reddish brass, mallow, and new leaf
Colour Headcanons – still accepting
reddish brass: how likely is your muse to step up and take the role of a leader? are they willing to take the challenge, or are they more apt to being a follower?
Brodylikes to be in control, it eases her mind to know what’s happeningand what can be done to fix the things going wrong. She does showsome qualities that would suggest she’s a leader type, but in the endshe would rather put that pressure on someone else. She’s not quite afollowertype—Brody will follow directions and orders from someone if shesees the benefit in doing so, but she doesn’t have tendency to just blindly follow. She’d rather be an adviser,she’s always got opinions and she likes to keep her eye on things.She wants her opinions and advice to be heard, which is likely themain source of her conflict with Marlon outside of his aggression.
So,honestly, if nobody wanted to take control in a situation, she maystep up and direct, but she’d never be looking to be in the positionindefinitely. Plus, her emotions can get in the way of keeping herhead in some situations, be that aggression or anxiety pushing towardjumping into something too quickly or not thinking something clearlythrough. Really, she’s still a teen, she lacks maturity in someaspects. Obviously, her situation has forced her to take on amaturity that is above where it would be in a normal world, but she’sstill a teen. It’s hard to say if she would make a goodleader, but she also wouldn’t want to be at the head of everything.So, if she was forced into that position, she would need help.
mallow: what sorts of things might remind your muse of those close to them? any scents, objects, sounds?
It’shard to say, she’s not that sentimental. Hunting reminds her of herfoster dad and his parents, as they took part in that fairly often.Granted, she was fairly young when she was sent off to Ericson’s, butshe’d heard them talk about it and they’ve told her the odd thing.Her foster mother was distant, Brody didn’t really feel all thatclose to her. Cigarettes remind her of her, as she used to smoke veryoften. The memories are always a touch bitter, but sometimes she’llremember the odd thing if she ever smells that. As for the kids, shedoesn’t really hold too many associations outside of some obviousthings. However, Tenn will always remind her of his sisters and whathappened—what actually happened. She’ll always feel tense aroundhim. Overall, she’ll always associate people with their actions and how they relate to her, sometimes vice versa.
new leaf: what message would your muse send to their past self, if any?
Dependson the context and what she would know. For the sake of completeness,if she could send her past self a message after she had been killed,I’m sure she would warn her of that,along with the apocalypse. Possibly to be wary of Marlon, to fight harder against going to Ericson’s in the first place, even, as shehad thought in the beginning that she wouldn’t be there forever. Yet, loand behold…
