answering from here! oh my goodness, thank you for all the questions! time to put my thinking cap on 🤩
RED #5. Is your OC vengeful?
you know. i think, if he had clearer memories or knew for certain who it was that had tried to kill him-- or had ordered his killing-- he would be vengeful. he was very good at this job and it's only now that he's been out of it for so long that he sees how empty his life was. selfishly, maybe a little irrationally, he's angry that his easy acceptance of that empty life was taken from him.
ORANGE #6. Does your OC hold others to the same standards they hold themselves to?
ooooooh this is a good one! i think it's not so much that he's holding other people to his standards as much as he just assumes that everyone is a liar and a spy and out to get him. his whole world revolved around the great game, and it's not easy to leave that behind.
GRAY #6. What is one of your OC’s happiest memories?
okay, i think we're going to have to dig pretty deep for this one. i would say that he has approximately two (2) happy memories. one is of when he was still a small child, before he had been taken away by chevaliers and given to his handlers. in the memory, he is warm, and safe, and his mother is standing at a small cooking fire and is humming or singing a song he can't quite recall.
WHITE #2. Is your OC religious? How do they feel about religion?
he doesn't exactly... care if the maker is real or not, to be honest. the chantry as a whole has never done anything for him or against him, it's just another piece on the board that he had to use or move around, as needed.
that being said. after escaping certain death, he had run blindly through the streets of val royeux, and somehow had ended up collapsing at the door of a small chantry in one of the poorer housing districts. the sisters there tended to his wounds without question or payment, and that kindness is something he has never forgotten. it's hard to reconcile it with the world he lived in, and the world he lives in now, to be honest.
RED #7. What would others consider the most attractive part of your OC?
ooh, i think the first thing that anyone would notice about her would be the fact that she's fairly tall! val is 5'10" has a kind of 'model on the catwalk' kind of thing going on. also i think her confidence and self-possession is obvious from how she carries herself, and that would very eye catching.
CYAN #2. What brings comfort to your OC (person, place, object, etc.)?
ahhh now isn't that the question? valentina takes comfort in a few very specific things, and one specific person. her room is her sanctuary, and she has everything she could want. her books, her expensive chocolates, the finest bed linens money can buy. she values her space and solitude, and relaxes best when she's at home. and then, of course, there's her best friend, one giovanna de riva 🩷
PINK #1. Does your OC like traditional romance?
actually, yes! valentina's mother is just as no-nonsense and serious as val is, but faustina does have one weakness: her husband, a gorgeous idiot of a man that is utterly devoted to his very dangerous and vicious wife. valentina, when she thinks about the future she might share with someone, will accept nothing less than a love match, because it's what was modeled for her growing up. she knows it's possible, thus, she will have it.
BLACK #1. How far will your OC go to achieve their goals?
valentina is smart, driven, and pins her self-worth on the value that she can provide to her family and house de riva. sooooo, in all honesty, there probably isn't a limit 😂 as long as it doesn't hurt herself or her house, there's very little that she would shy away from doing.
