🍄 What are your OCs favourite snacks? Their favourite comfort food which always cheers them up when they’re down? Favourite meal to make? Do they enjoy baking and cooking and are they any good in the kitchen?
Terra loves to bake and cook, when she has the chance - any snacks Dragon’s Watch has packed, she 100% baked. It’s a source of stress release - nights when she can’t sleep, she’ll wander to the nearest cooking station (if it’s within the area they’re staying, of course) and just start cooking, keeping herself busy.
She likes to snack on chocolate strawberries or simple cookies - easy things, small enough to stash in bags. Comfort food would have to be stews - warm and soothing, just sort of relaxing to eat? She doesn’t have a favorite meal to make, per say - but now that Braham’s started trailing her to the kitchen to help, it’s been more fun.
🌻 What little things do they notice about people or the world around them that make them happy? What tiny little treasures do they find in the normal every day that makes the world seem a little brighter for them?
Terra always notices the way the sun hits the world - reflecting off water, lighting up plants, falling over buildings. It warms her and the world around her, and brightens the tiny flowers one might have otherwise missed. Even in the desert, she takes joy in noticing the little intricacies in the landscape - the designs etched into half-destroyed buildings, partially swallowed by quicksand, or the flowers laid near sights of memories.
She notices connections between people and places, always... and it reminds her that no one’s alone, not really.
🌿 What way does your OC show that they care without using words? What way do others show your OC that they’re cared about without using speech?
Terra cooks for her friends, as stated above - but she’s also forever looking out for them. Mending packs and clothing, tending to wounds without asking, sitting close and simply being there when she’s needed.
Braham is a fan of sitting close, an arm wrapped loosely around the Sylvari’s shoulders, cuddled close and simply soaking in each other’s presence. Taimi is forever tweaking her communicator, and her Mount Portal. Canach has guarded her back more then once, brushing it off with a shrug; the same with Rytlock, though his snarls have lessened, when it comes to the Commander.
Mostly, her friends try to stay near, to offer support - and keep her sane during their travels.
💦 If you as the writer could erase one traumatic event from this OC’s life what would it be and why?
Trahearne. I still don’t know how I’d have done it, or how it could be done, but I’d have saved Trahearne, if I’d started TP more recently and not already had the plotwork mostly laid out. He was her mentor, and friend, and brother, and she is still beating herself up for allowing him to be taken, for having to end his life to slay Mordremoth.
Thank you for the ask!!! ♥♥ Terra is actually my only GW2 character that has her crafting mostly maxed - chef and tailor - so it’s played into her characterization. ♥
