She takes Doctors Without Borders far too literally.

Anyone who has ever met Trona.

10!

Questions for the Mun, regarding the Muse. 

10 - What do you love about your muse? 

How much she turned out to be like me. 

When I started Trona, she was a joke character meant to be clumsy and comic relief for the campaign I was in. But over time she developed into something so much bigger. 

A tired woman with a big, sore heart just trying to do her best. Someone who others, characters and people, came to love for who she was.

4 and 5

Questions for the Mun, regarding the Muse.

4 - If you could tell your muse one thing, what would you tell them? 

Take your time. Trona has always been so intent on working hard nonstop to try and find the next concoction, working tirelessly and testing on herself to come to the quickest solution to what she was after. 

She never gets a chance to stop and smell the flowers, if you will. To have a conversation with the friends she’s not even aware are friends yet. Slow down, and take a look around. She’s missing more than she knows. 

5- If you could give your muse one gift, what would you give them? 

I’d just give her a hug. 

No seriously, that’s it. 

It’s the kind of thing that goes so much farther with her than anything material. She has the money to buy, and the ability to use what she purchases, but it never has any effect on her on a deeper level. I’d want to gift her in knowing that she’s loved, even when no one is around.
