Happy Starlight, everyone!

Is it easy for your OC to treat someone with courtesy, even if they personally dislike them or disagree with their views or actions?

To a large degree, yes!

As the son of a merchant, Tatanzo was taught how to separate personal feelings from a situation at an early age, to be courteous and polite to anyone, regardless of how he might feel about them. Now, as an adult, he recognizes that he doesn't always have to, but it's still so second-nature to him that it would require actual effort to not be at least passingly polite to someone.

Does your OC believe that a person can be redeemed even if they have committed heinous deeds? Or do they maintain that some crimes can never be forgiven?

This one took me a lot longer than I thought it would!

Tatanzo wants to believe that absolutely anyone can be redeemed! He tries to find the best in everyone, and gives first and second and third and fourth...and so on chances, so long as the person seems willing to try and do better next time.

That said, he does recognize that some people don't want to do better, aren't actually seeking redemption. He still wants to understand their motivations, to try and find good, even if he gets hurt in the process, but he will eventually acknowledge that there's nothing to be done if that's the route they want to take.

Doing something to someone he cares about, though, tends to curtail any efforts to help them, though he'll still want to understand what motivates them in the process. He may still forgive them, if they ask the person they've wronged, but they'll find that they have far fewer chances until Tatanzo writes them off as a lost cause.

On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?

Tatanzo's almost always got some sort of paper on him at any given time, be it research notes tucked into a pocket or his bag or one of several geometries he likes to keep handy after the recent loss of his grimoire.

Having started as an arcanist, he also almost always has two gemstones, ruby and topaz, on him as well, in case he needs to call upon a carbuncle. He also carries around an old unaspected crystal around with him, something to fidget with that he's had since he was little.

He's also definitely got a small pouch of konpeito, a Far Eastern favorite of his, on his person at all times, that's a must!

Thank you so much for the ask @mimble-sparklepudding! 😊

Key words: pure, affectionate, innocent

Your love is the love of childhood crushes, secrets told in the dark between two best friends and long car trips with your favourite sibling. You're a sweet person with a soft heart and a gentle way of showing your affection. A pure, idealistic love, yours is the love of intertwined pinkies, butterfly kisses, and rubbing noses.

I wasn't sure what sort of result Tatanzo would get, since he's not much for 'love', but I really like this for Tatanzo, it's actually super fitting!
