Number: How many children does your muse want?
Kikyou never really thought about how many children. For her, no matter the number, her children will be loved. Whether it is three or six, she will love them with all her heart. Of course, she does not want to be popping out children every year either. It also depends on who her partner is as well. Ideally probably three. Again, if she ends up bearing more, it is not a big deal.
Want: Does your muse want children? Why or why not?
As indicated above, of course she does. No matter the verse, she is very maternal, protective and nurturing. She has so much love in her heart to give to children. It is a very strong primal instinct but just also who she is as a person. Children and babies always have a soft spot in her heart. Baring a child with one's significant other..is also a very beautiful moment. She wants to experience bringing new life into the world with her husband or s/o.
Capable: Do you think your muse is capable of caring for a child? Why/Why not?
Yes. She raised Kaede and is a warm, compassionate and maternal woman. Kikyou has not only the instincts, experience, maturity and wisdom to do so--she also is a healer and can tend to various ailments. Kikyou is naturally good with children and many adore her. She has all the attributes, personality and skills to care and nurture a child.
Parent: What type of parent does your muse consider themself?
Typically, she considers herself as flexible, protective but stern parent. She knows she is the type to fuss over her children with affection. Not afraid to pull them into hugs and bury them in kisses--just ask Rin. She takes so much joy in tending to their needs and while she is involved..she knows when to step back and let her children make their own mistakes.
Scrapbook: Does your muse like to keep record of their kids, or are they more ‘live in the moment’ type?
I would say this is verse dependent. Overall, she is the ‘live in the moment’ type with a splash of record keeping. If it is something that is extremely important or occupied a large chunk of her child’s life, she may keep it. From a favorite toy, blanket or even a snippet of hair--all plausible items. However, she prefers to live and be present in the moment than document. There is something lost when the primary focus is on record keeping than the special moment being exhibited by the child.
