OK I'M BACK WITH JUST OC QUESTIONS THIS TIME...
I saw your post, but don't worry, I won't send more Moon questions until you've answered the last ones since I did some just OC questions on that ask unprompted. THIS ONE IS FOR DOMI. MY BESTEST GIRL
What's her favorite hobby? What does she like to do the most in her free time?
When does she has the most free time/what's the least busy part of her week?
Does she have a job, how stable is her home?
I NEED A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THIS GIRL RN, all the personality quirks. Not the physical description since I've seen the ART. Which you ate up, btw
What is her biggest pet peeve?
How comfortable is she with her own appearance?
Does she have any mental health struggles?
If she could have her dream job/life, what would that look like? Personal and professional life
I know she has a physical disability, (her knee has chronic issues for anyone reading who doesn't know that), but what does she do to make it feel better? How does she take care of herself? And a little bit of a ship question, but how does Donnie take care of her?
Has she ever thought about getting a service animal? Off that question, what is her favorite animal?
What's her love language? How does she best receive love?
Ok, I'll stop there, but I love her so much, and can't wait to hear all about it! Feel free to answer these for whatever iteration you feel like, I'll be happy with any of them!
So based on the knee injury questions I'll answer these for Rise (the only other iteration she has a knee injury is 2012 and I haven't decided if the injury is gonna be permanent). The art in question of mine is this WIP I posted earlier. @sooahbites also has done some absolutely wonderful Rise!Domi art here. But yes, Domi is bestest girl (I definitely don’t say this about all of my girls), I love her a lot.
1: (What's her favorite hobby? What does she like to do the most in her free time? When does she have the most free time/what's the least busy part of her week?)
Her favorite hobby is probably gaming. She's really into horror and cozy games. She'll play the occasional other game (mostly that Donnie convinces her to try).
What she likes to do the most in her free time is inventing in the lab with Donnie. He shows her up and that bothers her from time to time, but more often than not she just likes doing something she loves close to the person she loves the most.
And the least busy part of her week is Friday-Sunday because she clears that time for Donnie and/or the others. She'll work on projects during those days, but they're mostly reserved for shenanigans with the boys.
2: (Does she have a job, how stable is her home?) In Rise she does not have a job in the most traditional sense. Pre-canon and early canon she works with the Purple Dragons, doing coding jobs and getting a cut of the money that they make off of it. When she leaves the Dragons, she mostly avoids working for a while. After that while, she starts taking coding jobs online. Not completely above board but she does make money when she wants to. (Fun fact, the only iteration she has a traditional job in is 2007, where she works at a convenience store to help pay for college.)
With how stable her home is, it's not. This next little bit is off of two things I made separately so if it's unclear let me know, I can clarify anything.
Felix (Toolbox for those who kept up with Domi's other iterations' lore) is Domi's brother. So Felix is rather strict about how she behaves (she has to be quiet and subdued), it comes from mimicking how their parents raised him and how they were raising her before their deaths. Which leads to her constantly feeling suffocated. On top of that, she's been taking care of Felix since she was nine (and her grandmother since she was thirteen). From taking over household work because her brother had to put more hours in at work, to literally taking work to pay for their needs after Felix's accident because he couldn't work. She's felt more responsibility to care for her family than she She feels a lot of responsibility toward her family, but there isn't a lot of love and care.
Domi not understanding the importance Donnie puts on his family (because she can't mentally put that importance on hers) is actually a huge point of contention in their early relationship. They even temporarily break up because of it.
3: (I need a full description of this girl rn, all the quirks.) Let's see, where to start?
1: She is against eye contact but if it is made, it is intense eye contact. 2: Star/space themes everything that she can. 3: Can recite anything that she's read, but her memory with things that she's told is worse. 4: She is ambidextrous, favoring her left hand if she does favor one. 5: Her nails have to be cut short all of the time or she won't stop picking at them. 6: Short tempered when stressed. 7: The little blep with her tongue while focusing counts here, right?
These are what I can think of currently. There might be more, but I think these are the ones you see the most often.
4: (What is her biggest pet peeve?)
She has lots of complaints about how people do/say things. Genuinely if you ask her she'd tell you that stupid people are her biggest pet peeve.
Now in an actual answer to the question because in my great power I know what her biggest pet peeve is, her biggest pet peeve is people trying to tell her what's best for her. She's had someone telling her what's "best" for her as long as she can remember and she can't stand it. Her brother is the most frequent offender, but she can't stand it from anybody.
5: (How comfortable is she with her own appearance?)
So Domi's always been comfortable with her appearance, despite minor bullying for some of her features when she was younger (middle school). She does however, like it better when part of her hair is dyed. Ama (the leader of the Purple Dragons when Domi joined) introduced her to the idea and actually dyed her hair the first time (which was a dark blue). Domi cut her hair from mid-back length and dyed it the magenta that we see for her first introduction right before her first introduction. She didn't want her hair long anymore, so she got it chopped off before coming back to school.
6: (Does she have any mental health struggles?)
So Domi has generalized anxiety disorder and depression, both of which are unmedicated when she first joins the crew. Between Raph and April, they convinced her to go see someone when she was having a pretty bad depressive spiral. She's now medicated and managing the best she can with both. Everybody checks in occasionally to make sure that she's keeping up with her meds or if she needs anything (Leo checking in is more antagonizing but that's their relationship dynamic).
7: (If she could have her dream job/life, what would that look like? Personal and professional life?)
So, Domi's dream job/life is actually surprisingly sweet considering how practical she was about her future before meeting the boys. She would be a well known astronomer, married to Donnie, and the boys are free to live how they please. Before the Invasion that was to be free in the Hidden City, after it was New York City now that it's a haven for humans and Yokai alike.
8: (I know she has a physical disability, (her knee has chronic issues), but what does she do to make it feel better? How does she take care of herself? And a little bit of a ship question, but how does Donnie take care of her?)
Domi is on medication and goes to physical therapy for managing her injury. She built herself a brace that helps minimize pain (as much as it can) while moving and she will stay in when it’s acting up too much.
She is terrible about doing her exercises when she’s having a hard day/week and Donnie knows this. He’s taken to asking her about it and she’s honest with him after a while. When she says no, he gently (sometimes not gently if she’s still refusing) prod her into doing her exercises. He always has treats or ice cream for once it’s done so she’s not as unhappy about it. He knows overall that she’s happy someone cares enough to keep up with it and help her, so he pushes when he needs to. He also praises her when she says she has, which she adores and has been the reason she's done it before despite not wanting to.
9: (Has she ever thought about getting a service animal? Off that question, what is her favorite animal?)
So the better answer to this question is that I've never thought about it. I would have to do some research but she's not opposed to the idea. Something I will definitely look into and maybe work into later parts of her story (season two and beyond).
10: (What's her love language? How does she best receive love?)
So there's two answers to this question solely because you absorb information like a sponge so you'll like hearing it.
The answer she tells people is words of affirmation. Now don't get me wrong, she loves being complimented, loves being verbally appreciated in a way that doesn't feel backhanded.
BUT. The actual answer, the way she wants to be loved but doesn't say because she doesn't trust people like that, is acts of service. Donnie is actually the first person in her life to take note of and adjust to that. There's a story behind that but it's a little long and this post is already long. If you want that story, I can tell it in a later post.
