Imma late but imma nosy! So from the character asks:
10. What is their main character arc in the story? Where do they start and how do they develop? Do they get a happy ending or is their story a tragic one?
12. Do you have a playlist for the character? What songs do you associate with them and why?
14. Do you have any quotes tied to the character, either from the story itself or from another source that fit them?
My toxic trait is allowing anonymous messages but dying to know who sent it every time
OKAY LETS GET THIS GOING!

Mmmm so this is difficult for Five, since the story isn't yet finished so figuring out if their story ends happy or tragic is still up to interpretation. BUT character arc itself - Five starts off quite untrusting to everyone and anyone. They've had a hard life where people just haven't proven to be worth being vulnerable for. In fact, they arrive in Abel purely as a means to escape Mullins Military Base, and completely with the intention of getting away from Abel as soon as they can.
But the longer they're in Abel, the more their defences lower. They're surprised to find the people there actually care. They're surprised to find that when people do things for Five, they're doing them because they want to, not because they expect anything in return.
Five struggles with this for a while. Still thinks they should go. Still keep people an arms distance away.
But the more they realise that the people in Abel actually care about them, the more they struggle to keep them out. Gradually they let them in. Gradually they open up. It's a struggle, but they begin accepting their love. They're no longer fighting for their own survival - they're fighting for the survival of Abel instead. They're willing to die to protect it.
12. Do you have a playlist for your character? What songs do you associate with them and why?
I actually have a few hahaha
I have a running playlist - which I imagine is filled with music that Sam picked out for Five. Lots of fast pace music about being a badass.
Then I have a playlist that gives me Abel vibes. Usually this is slower music that I think applies to Five/Five's relationships or songs that fit the vibe of Abel. Most of the time these are songs that don't quite fit the tempo I need for running, slower stuff but still good.
And then I have a playlist of music Five would enjoy. Because of their backstory, they quite enjoy EDM music. So that's mostly covers of other songs in EDM formats that I think Five would love.
A specific song I associate for Five though?
14. Do you have any quotes tied to the character, either from the story itself or another source that fits them?
"You see things and you understand. You're a wallflower."
"We don't belong to each other: he's an independent, and so am I."
"If you can't do something smart, do something right."
“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”
