3.) Ask them to describe their love interest.

— CASEY

Prettier than the wildflowers on the side of the road, warmer than the midday sun beating down on him in the pastures, and stronger than the old live oak out front.

— LILY

An angel on Earth. Everything she’s ever prayed for and more. Strong and steady, practically handmade just for her. She’d give anything to shoulder his pain for him.

— MATÍAS

[a lonely violin plays in the distance]

— ELLA

Much too hard on himself, and deserving of the world and more. Life hasn’t always been kind to him, but she’s never known a more gentle man.

— CODY

Smarter and better than he’ll ever be. He doesn’t deserve her, but it’s impossible to look away when she’s in the room. How is he supposed to unsee her?

✨- which fictional character (book, show, or movie) do you relate to most?

Not counting my own characters? Not to sound like I’m wildly mentally ill (I am) and put my ✨trauma✨ on display at 10 am but Fleabag from Fleabag, Jem Starling from The Starling Girl, and Riley Flynn from Midnight Mass.

🌸- what is your favorite flower?

I’m not really a flower girlie (gn) but I do appreciate a good sunflower.

🍃- would you rather live in a sea with mermaids or a forest with fairies?

🌷- How does this oc take their coffee?

— CASEY

Answered here!

— ELLA

Two sugars, one cream. Known iced coffee enthusiast. She has a couple different flavored syrups kicking around the kitchen because she realized at some point that it was cheaper to make her own medical school induced fix at home.

— SAMIRA

She doesn’t drink it. Mira skips caffeine altogether, save for tea from time to time. It gives her the jitters, and she prefers to be clear and steady.

— CASEY

10.) Is your OC sentimental or pragmatic? Do they keep mementos or only what they need to survive? Have they always been this way or did something happen to make them change?

Before his father’s death, Casey was deeply sentimental. He was a sweet boy deep down, a real romantic covered in layers of obnoxious teenage boy. But when Clay died? That part of him got buried deep, replaced by someone, outwardly at least, a lot sharper and dulled to the world. It’s one of the things that his mother will later tell him that she missed the most about him when he was struggling to keep his head above water all those years, and something she’s deeply glad to see slowly returning with Lily’s return home.

12.) Is your OC cynical or optimistic? Who or what shaped their outlook on life?

I kinda got into it above, but… a bit of both, with a lot more cynicism bleeding in after Clay’s death. A lot of his personality was shaped by Brenda — her strength, her determination to always keep fighting no matter what life threw at her — and for a while he was of the mind that life would always work out for him. Obviously, the accident and then Clay’s death a few years after really, really changed that. He had a rough time adjusting to his new physical limitations (and frankly, it’s something he still struggles to make peace with from time to time) and it sparked a bit of a bitter streak in him.

motion: How does your OC move? How does their clothing help or hinder their range of motion? Are they flexible, coordinated, clumsy?

— CASEY

It depends on the day, honestly. Case is almost always some degree of stiff and slower than his friends, with his limp ranging from barely noticeable to very clear when he’s really overdone it physically. His clothing choices are more so to prevent any machinery accidents (nothing loose) but he’s also decently conscious of creating tripping hazards for himself when he’s already a bit unsteady. He was a show off before his accident, but now, disabled and in his 30s? He saves that for special occasions (and pays for it dearly for a week after.)

— DECLAN

Declan was uncoordinated in the sense that he didn’t ever really seem to grow into his body. He got pretty tall pretty fast, and even when he was stone cold sober it felt like he was always bumping into something, or tripping over his own feet. His clothes probably didn’t help, as he had a penchant for wearing too-long sleeves (lord knows how he managed it with his long arms) that made him dropping things from his sweater paws a pretty common occurrence.
