Thanks to my moots on Bluesky for lending me their rooks!

aa thank you!! i’m gonna talk about billie cause i never talk about them and i love them a lot so!!

3. Did they have a good childhood? What are fond memories they have of it? What’s a bad memory?

yeah!! i mean they’re an orphan but they had a decent childhood. they were all but adopted by a lovely lesbian couple who had. wildly differing opinions on how to raise a kid like billie. gwen was very proper and tried to give them all the classical education stuff?? how to read and write and get on in polite society and stuff. caroline was the Fun Mum™ and also taught billie the basics of sailing?? and also how to climb like. buildings and junk

some of their fond memories are of time w caroline cause her lessons were v fun. gwen always used to slip them really expensive sweets too, especially when they behaved in lessons and things

pre much all their bad childhood memories are from before gwen & caroline. they’ve been an orphan for as long as they can remember & before they were adopted they?? had kind of an oliver twist deal going on. a woman they only remember being called auntie looked after them & a bunch of other kids in exchange for the kids robbing the everloving shit out of every ship that came into port. they were really good at it but. not the best upbringing??

5. Do they have any siblings? What’s their names? What is their relationship with them? Has their relationship changed since they were kids to adults?

a few!! not blood siblings but they weren’t the only kid gwen & caroline adopted. they’d have run an orphanage if they could lmao. i… don’t remember all of their names.. there was definitely daisy and shauna?? there were like two other kids uh.

billie was always like. the Big Sibling y'know?? shauna and one of the boys are older than billie but still :’) they’re v protective and always looked out for the others

they’ve kind of lost touch w everyone cause they travel a fuck lot and everyone’s kind of. drifted since gwen died. daisy still lives in the old house and turned it into an actual orphanage!! she was another kid who worked for auntie and she wants to make sure nothing like that happens again. the only sibling billie’s relationship really soured with is one of the boys, who joined up w the military who’s uh. less than upright??

37. Do they like to read? Are they a fast or slow reader? Do they like poetry?

nah they?? never really got the hang of it. they’re okay w numbers but they didn’t learn to read till late childhood/early teens and they’re not like. supremely comfortable with it. they’re a very slow reader. they do like poetry tho!! it’s like songs without tunes. their fave kind of poetry is the dirty kind, ofc

43. Are they religious? What do they think of religion? What do they think of religious people? What do they think of non religious people?

mm sort of?? mostly superstitious. it uh. depends on the setting which i still haven’t decided on sorry :’)

they’re always superstitious tho. either it’s doing things to appease the sea god & all the things to go with it (like. they have a tattoo that in this setting is supposed to be an aspect of the sea god, except the artist wasn’t great, and billie is 100% certain the sea god took it as a personal slight which is why three ships they served on sank in various circumstances) OR its. spacer things. little superstitions you know?? don’t ever joke about the airlock, that sort of thing

...It is incredibly difficult NOT to answer with her main theme lol. Especially since I was just listening to it today.

Ugghghghh
