Part 5/?

Oops

Got too lost in the sauce now it's 3am

Summary: Arlecchino is surprised to have a visitor so late in the night, but she'd let hell freeze over before allowing Furina to stay at risk. So, Furina's given a temporary home at the House of the Hearth. Little did she know that it would be one of the best weeks she'd had in many many centuries.

A sequence of events that occurred during Furina's week-long stay.

she's a great dancer (but she won't dance)

she's so aggressively feminine she doesn't need to prove it to anyone (pls stop writing her like she hates women pls i beg you)

actually very bad at reading people (it's not like she lacks empathy, she just doesn't trust anyone and who can blame her tbf), but she will sniff out a lie from the depths of the chasm

listens to the opera while plotting murder (preferably furina)(the opera, not the murder)

has repressed her feelings for so long she's convinced herself she has none but her actions betray her (she's not soft, but she ain't a robot either)

has a list of all her children's likes/dislikes, habits, hobbies etc so she can reward them properly when needed (how do you think lyney got a gig at the opera epiclese, pls)

she has a soft spot for lynette and you can't convince me otherwise

she doesn't understand clervie's idea of "freedom" (in death) because she doesn't know who she is yet. only truth will bring her freedom, and she was raised to survive. how much of that is down to crucabena, and how much instead to her own instincts, or the "curse" in her veins, she can't tell. and that's exactly the issue with her

no she did not call herself "father" because she hates being a woman seriously this is my biggest pet peeve when it comes to her characterization in fanfiction BEING A WOMAN IS PROBABLY THE ONLY THING SHE DOESN'T FEEL THE NEED TO HIDE ABOUT HERSELF

she will absolutely take advantage of any crazy rumour about her like 'oh i've heard she eats burritos sideways" well she doesn't even know what the fuck is a burrito but confuse thy enemies and your friends too etc etc
