STUDY : ROBIN. repost it, do not reblog.
▸ is your muse tall / short /ㅤaverage ?ㅤaverage. she’s about 5'5 as a human. in wolf form, she’s the size of the ancient dire wolf, so like… idk maybe 3’ tall. so she’s larger than most dogs.
▸ are they okay with their height ?ㅤrobin doesn’t really notice her height at all since she rarely gets much interaction with fellow humans. it doesn’t bother her even then.
▸ what’s their hair like ?ㅤcurly, generally the 3a-b texture type. she keeps it short and often cuts it herself, so the length is uneven back to front. in the summer she’ll cut the back part completely off. in wolf form, her coat is double haired and will shed twice a year. it’s soft but mostly just hairy.
▸ do they spend a lot of time on their hair / grooming ?ㅤnot really? she does trim and cut her hair during the year but for day-to-day she’ll just wet it and floof the curls, then go. you’re more likely to find her grooming herself in wolf form to keep her fur clean.
▸ does your muse care about their appearance / what others think ? sort of. like many with self image issues, she wants to be loved and looked up to. but she won’t immediately change herself for others.
▸ indoors or outdoors ? outdoors. ▸ rain or sunshine ?ㅤsunshine. ▸ forest or beach ? forest. ▸ precious metals or gems ? gems. ▸ flowers or perfumes ? flowers. ▸ personality or appearance ? personality. ▸ being alone or being in a crowd ? being alone. ▸ order or anarchy ? order. ▸ painful truths or white lies ? painful truths. ▸ science or magic ? magic. ▸ peace or conflict ? peace. ▸ night or day ? day. ▸ dusk or dawn ? dawn. ▸ warmth or cold ? warmth. ▸ many acquaintances or a few close friends ? few close friends. ▸ reading or playing a game ? reading.
▸ what are some of your muse’s bad habits ?ㅤrobin is stubborn. she believes in her ideals and the “truths” of her strange world as a ole guidepost to keep from going mad. her main bad habit is pushing her body too far to the point of exhaustion or injury, simply because she is too stubborn to run away.
▸ has your muse lost anyone close to them ? how has it affected them ?ㅤyes. robin lost everyone close to her. everyone. her mother died first, taken by a curse that affected their bloodline. then her father was murdered by a demon. lastly, her big brother was spirited away, fleeing their home and disappearing into the woods. robin is very, very traumatized by the sudden loss of her family in the short span of a handful of years. she feels that she has been abandoned by the gods/kami and fights hard to earn their approval, anything, so that she might not endure such pain and loneliness ever again.
▸ what are some fond memories your muse has ? ㅤgrowing up, robin remembered the food and warmth that filled her kitchen. the scent of stews and warm rice, her mother singing along to the record player, her father reading in his chair, all while she sat and played heroes with her big brother on the carpet. the warm, complete glow of that kitchen is both her biggest comfort and biggest moment of mourning.
▸ is it easy for your muse to kill ? ㅤunfortunately, in a sense, it is. she has become numb to murdering creatures that harbor ill intent and malice. yokai are monsters in her mind, things to be put down. she does lie awake some nights wondering if she would be able to put down a human if it came down to it.
▸ what’s it like when your muse breaks down ?ㅤmessy. like any beast, any woman wronged, she is ugly and howling when she breaks. tears flow, her voice is torn from her throat and made raw. her body will uncontrollably shift forms, becoming monstrous as her grief and despair feels, ever inching towards corruption.
▸ is your muse capable of trusting someone with their life ? ㅤyes. it is difficult in the moment, but when she has a friend or loved one, she will trust them with her life without question. sometimes she might rush int this desire to be held and needed simply out of fear of losing someone again.
▸ what’s your muse like when they’re in love ?ㅤplayful, light, teasing and warm. robin becomes bright as the sun when with her love. she feels whole, complete, and wants to share that feeling with that special one. she’s willing to destroy herself or the world for them. the loyalty of a wolf is no simple thing.
