bold the ones that apply to your character. italicize the ones that sort of apply.

—    BASICS.

▸     IS    YOUR    MUSE    TALL    /    SHORT    /    AVERAGE ? average height at 5′5. Can appear a bit taller than she is because of how she carries herself thanks to her dancing.

▸      ARE    THEY    OKAY    WITH    THEIR    HEIGHT ? She sometimes wishes she was a different height. Really depends on her dancing. She wants to appear taller, elegant and graceful. But if she was shorter she would be easier to lift and carry. 

▸      WHAT’S    THEIR    HAIR    LIKE ? naturally wavy and becomes a bit curly when wet. It’s pretty damn soft and strong and healthy. She takes great care of her hair.

▸     DO    THEY    SPEND    A    LOT    OF    TIME    ON    THEIR    HAIR     /    GROOMING ? Yep! She washes her hair and deeps conditions it often. She makes sure that she trims it often and keeps it strong and healthy.

▸      DOES   YOUR   MUSE   CARE   ABOUT   THEIR   APPEARANCE   /   WHAT    OTHERS    THINK ? She cares. A lot. Growing up dancing she was always comparing herself to the other girls in her group. was her teeth white and straight enough? was she skinny enough? Her weight was a constant thing on her mind as a teenager.

—    PREFERENCES.

▸      INDOORS    OR    OUTDOORS?    indoors ▸      RAIN    OR    SUNSHINE?   rain ▸      FOREST    OR    BEACH?    beach ▸      PRECIOUS    METALS    OR    GEMS?      gems ▸      FLOWERS    OR    PERFUMES?     flowers ▸     PERSONALITY    OR    APPEARANCE?    both? If they don’t have a good personality she can’t date them. But she can be vain when it comes to appearances.  ▸     BEING    ALONE    OR    BEING    IN    A    CROWD?    alone !! ▸     ORDER    OR    ANARCHY?    order !! ▸      PAINFUL    TRUTHS    OR    WHITE    LIES?     painful truths. Please don’t lie to her. She’ll be abe to tell and she probably won’t trust you anymore for lying in the first place. ▸      SCIENCE    OR    MAGIC?     magic ▸      PEACE    OR    CONFLICT?    peace ▸      NIGHT    OR    DAY?     night ▸      DUSK    OR    DAWN?    dawn ▸      WARMTH    OR    COLD?     warmth ▸      MANY   ACQUAINTANCES    OR    A    FEW    CLOSE    FRIENDS?      a few close friends ▸     READING    OR    PLAYING    A    GAME?     reading

—    QUESTIONNAIRE.

▸      WHAT    ARE    SOME    OF    YOUR    MUSE’S    BAD    HABITS? Drinking. She starts drinking in high school, when she’s about 15, to help her cope with her empathy. She doesn’t stop or slow down until she’s in her mid-twenties. 

She bottles up her emotions. She doesn’t want to bother people about her own issues because she figures that people are dealing with more important things. So, she doesn’t talk about her emotions or her issues to anyone. 

She’s a giver. Which is nice and all but it consumes her sometimes. She wants people around her to be happy and content because that means she can be happy and content. So she helps people. Gives them what they need to the point of her being left emotionally, mentally and physically drained. 

▸      HAS    YOUR    MUSE    LOST    ANYONE    CLOSE    TO    THEM?      HOW    HAS    IT    AFFECTED    THEM? Depends on the verse really. In the unchanged future where her mother dies, Melinda kinda breaks down. It’s too much emotionally for her and she further retreats into herself. She doesn’t let anyone in and she tries to distract herself from it. 

So, that’s basically how she would react if she lost anyone. Bottle up those emotions and distract herself with dance, X-Files or something else that can occupy her time.

▸      WHAT    ARE    SOME    FOND    MEMORIES    YOUR    MUSE    HAS? sleepovers with her family, family dinners and birthdays, the first time she went to the ballet, the first time she wore her tutu or her pointe shoes. cooking with her mother.

▸     IS    IT    EASY    FOR    YOUR    MUSE    TO    KILL?

No. Not in the slightest. She can literally feel it. The pain and fear and other emotions. It overwhelms her to the point of her being sick. She hates killing or vanquishing demons.

▸      WHAT’S    IT    LIKE    WHEN    YOUR    MUSE    BREAKS    DOWN? silent tears. shaking. she’s literally shaking and vibrating with the emotions that have finally overwhelmed her. she likes to lock herself in her bathroom when this happens. she doesn’t want to be around people because she doesn’t want to accidentally manipulate their emotions. so she hides away, cries silently and tries to bring herself back together. 

▸      IS    YOUR    MUSE    CAPABLE    OF    TRUSTING    SOMEONE    WITH    THEIR    LIFE? honestly no. like if it’s family then yes perhaps but other than that no. she wants to believe that people are good and kind and she can trust them but due to her empathy she knows that isn’t true. all she needs is to feel that little inkling of doubt coming from someone that will change her mind. she wants to trust people but she knows better. 

▸      WHAT’S    YOUR    MUSE    LIKE    WHEN    THEY’RE    IN    LOVE? even more awkward than she already is. she’s in shock a good chunk of the time because ‘wow this girl loves me’ and she can’t believe it. being a giver by nature she is going to do what she has to do to make sure that her girlfriend is happy. so she enjoys surprising them with back goods, random sweet text messages and stuff like that. she’s sickeningly sweet and awkward. but !! there’s always this underlying fear that the love she feels radiating from her girlfriend can fade any minute and she’ll be able to feel it.

THE SNOW QUEEN

brand new snow boots. the boy next door. windowsill flowers. skating on the pond. the beauty of a snowflake. a sharp pain in your eye. a broken mirror. frosted windows. a sudden difference in a loved one. ice-cold lips upon your forehead. a pale hand against the glass. frozen flowers. the depths of midwinter. offering a sacrifice. deep, cold water. a flower garden. an unexplainable feeling of something being missing. dreaming of love. soft silk, summer air. desperate escape from a castle. a friendly raven. autumn leaves falling all around you. a knife pressed against your cheek. running for your life as time runs out. northern lights gleaming overhead. an impossible puzzle to decipher. winter passing, to become spring. seeing the world through whole new eyes.

SNOW WHITE

desperately longing for a child. a drop of blood in the snow. a heartfelt wish. loss of a mother at a very young age. uncertainty and foreboding at a grand occasion. sweet singing echoing around castle walls. white doves. a terrible enemy in the guise of a friend or family member. hair as black as ebony. skin as white as snow. lips as red as blood. a practitioner of darker magic. bitter vanity. an arrow in the dark. the heart of a deer. running terrified into a dark forest. depending on the kindness of strangers. a magic mirror. an apple fallen from a pale hand. a slumber like death. a glass coffin in the middle of a wood. all the king’s horses, all the king’s men. true love’s first kiss. the sense of contentment that comes with justice having been served to a terrible person.

CINDERELLA

a blessed childhood. little mice in the walls. bluebirds. sweet and pleasant dreaming. a lifetime of scorn from your own family. being treated like a servant. invitation to a fabulous ball. barely daring to be excited. a gown ripped to shreds. crying in the courtyard. white horses. a lizard in the grass. coach and footmen. glass slippers. eyes meeting across a crowded room. the first dance with the one you love. your heart feeling like it is bursting with joy. walking arm in arm with a beloved one. a wonderful evening. the first blossom of love. the stroke of midnight. a desperate rush to be home. a secret underneath a loose floorboard. smashed glass, hopes shattered. the happiness that comes with finally having been seen for whom you truly are.

THE LITTLE MERMAID

the shimmering ocean floor. brilliant blooming coral. fish with bright and shiny scales. the figurehead of a ship. sea-spray striking your face. the wind rustling in your hair on the top deck. a violent and vigorous thunderstorm. heart pounding with mingled terror and excitement. strange ripples on the water’s surface. love at first sight. a desperate bargain struck. your legs trembling as you try to walk. a terrible ache in your feet like blades with every step you take. the softness of the sand. an unrequited longing. the heartbreak that comes with seeing the one you love walking arm in arm with another. a blade held tightly in your hand. a kiss pressed to your sleeping lover’s forehead. loving another more than you love yourself. unbearable suffering. sea-foam drifting on the surface of the ocean.

SLEEPING BEAUTY

the aching disappointment from not being invited to a social function. an anger as deep as the forest. a terrible and malicious act against a wholly innocent person. singing softly in a cottage garden. the feeling that there is more to your life than has yet been revealed to you. the excitement of a birthday approaching. spinning wheels covered by cobwebs. a spinner’s needle, bright and sharp. the inexplicable urge to touch what you should not. a pinprick and a drop of blood. nature growing to consume all signs of human habitation. a crumbling ruin filled with roses. a nightmare that you cannot wake up from. the terrible knowledge that everything you ever knew and loved has been irreparably lost as time moved on around you.

RAPUNZEL

“Yeah, I know that.” She smiled a bit then looked down. She was so stressed about the things going around in her life that she lost control over everything. “Its fine, Im good.” Emily said while she was lost in her own thoughts. “Sometimes I forget about the small things that are completely normal. Just like that.”
