Arcturus:

When he was very young (about ten, maybe? They don't quite remember - sorry, player, stuff of days gone by, y'know?), there was one night he couldn't fall asleep no matter how much they turned and tossed. She kept her eyes closed and kept her breathing even anyway, because Corvo told her faking sleep was the easiest way to fall asleep. Some time later, Corvo came back home. They remember it was a very cold night; when he entered their room, they'd been on the verge of breaking the comfortable haze they'd fallen into so that they could wrap the blanket around them tighter. Arcturus doesn't know why, but instead of waking up to get comfortable, she just kept her eyes closed and continued faking being asleep. Then, they felt Corvo tucking them in and adjusting their pillows. It's the only time they managed to stay up that long as a child, and it's a memory that they refuse to discard or forget to this day.

Azimuth:

...... When she was first bestowed with the status of 'heiress' back home. Her father placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, and her brother's hands had been reassuring as they rested on her shoulders. In that moment she had felt as if nothing could stand in her way; afterall, she was one of the greatest.

And she still is. ......

Right?

Arcturus:

As they are usually seen with Carlos, it's easy for most people to think that bickering and affection reserved for Carlos alone is their usual state. It's often an awful shock when people realise that once the boar is gone, all they're left with is icy water.

Azimuth:

PERSONALITY-WISE

Kind people. Not necessarily nice people, but those who are genuinely kind. Someone who brings a little light to his life, who loves his siblings as he does, who can lift the burden off of his weary shoulders and let him rest.

Arcturus

PHYSICALLY

They're a sucker for men who stand out from the crowd...even if that's not necessarily in a conventionally attractive way. Bonus points if said guy looks like [Censored].

PERSONALITY-WISE

A decisive man. Props to their daddy issues! Someone who will chase him when she storms off in a temper, someone who will make a safe space for the feelings they bottle up, someone who understands them when he finds so little understanding from the worlds around them.

Azimuth

PHYSICALLY

A man that is either conventionally attractive or plain. Preferably someone who looks dignified or impressive that she can bring around with her.

PERSONALITY-WISE

Someone who can match her. Intelligent, quick-witted, and not too honourable, but also a loyal man. If he can't at the very least pretend to be nice, then someone who won't cause too much trouble for her.
