23. Do they prefer romance or affection? What is the quickest way to your character’s heart?
Val can be pretty hard to love but she does appreciate both romance and affection. The quickest way to her heart is (a) be a cute girl, and (b), surprise her. If she finds herself unexpectedly becoming interested in someone as a person, she’ll be humbled and also willing to trust them quicker. It also doesn’t hurt to like guns and birds on a fundamental level lmao
24. Does your character have any enemies? If so, who and why?
Not really? I’m sure she’s made a few unbeknownst to her since she’s probably assassinated someone’s mate or two, but none canonically. (I’m not counting her kissmesis for this one)
25. Do they have any weird bedroom habits? Any unusual kinks?
Val is a dom through and through, and doesn’t really like being submissive at all unless she’s power bottoming. Her kinks are pretty normal for a dom but getting her to try something new in the bedroom can be difficult if you can’t convince her it’s a good idea/ will be fun (but really it doesn’t take much to convince her if the mood is right).
26. How does your character prepare for bed? Do they sleep at all or can they stay awake for days on end without trouble?
Val can stay awake for a long time without falling asleep. On the job usually her bird will catch her if she’s dozing off, but doing that also can give her some weird sleeping schedules. When she goes to bed normally, she pulls her hair into a side braid and puts Gamayun in his enclosure before she gets into bed. She usually reads every night before bed too. If she’s on her normal sleep schedule, she tends to be an early riser.
27. If your character had one thing to say to their parents before they died, what would it be?
“I’m sorry I was shit with a bow, but clearly I overcame that “handicap” didn’t I.”
28. Are they afraid of death? Do they have any regrets?
Val is sort of accepting of death? Her relationship with it is of mutual respect. She knows how horrifyingly permanent it is and she’s well aware that in her profession, not even highbloods tend to live their full lifespans if they aren’t careful. Because of that, everything she does is very deliberate and calculated. She doesn’t have any regrets really either, also because everything she does is a well-considered decision.
29. Does your character get restless when things are too quiet or do they favour solitude and silence? Why?
Val enjoys silence and is very comfortable with it. Being a sniper sort of kindled that and it leaked into her personal life. She likes it because she’s able to see and hear everything that is happening around her. She isn’t big on surprises.
30. Finally; if your character was forced to eat one thing for the rest of their life, what would they choose and why?
Filet mignon with all the fixings, fondant potatoes and all that good stuff.
