My dad did this thing that I've finally found a name for to get people, namely me as a child, to do things.
Now it was basically Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss with one very important change.
Now, the gaslighting was classic gaslighting. This sounds more awful than it was. Dad wasn't perfect, but his was mostly to talk me out of obsessive spirals as I was the poster child for "IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING TIDY!!!" brand of OCD.
Example: "You don't need to turn the knob an odd number of times. We've all seen you do it and nothing bad ever happened. Last Tuesday you didn't even think about it."
Now, it wasn't exactly right, but it really did keep the brass on our door knobs from wearing off.
Gatekeeping was mostly used as an incentive. I couldn't be a part of certain activities until I had fulfilled certain tasks. Sometimes it was as simple as you can't touch the nice versions of the Lord of the Rings if you're not mature enough to read them without getting Dr. Pepper on them. Only kids who learn the Bill of Rights are smart enough to do... I don't even remember what that one was about, but I did it, because I wanted to be the special best son (gender neutral).
The last thing was not Girlboss other than a little pointing toward Eowyn and Mary Shelley occasionally. This is the one I didn't have a name for that fit the rhythm of the saying, but God damn it if it didn't also get the Lord of the Rings treatment too.
See, this one is Gondor, because that man would lean into filial piety to get me to do things, because I was the firstborn. I was the prince that was promised with a few genetic edits. Was "The [Our Last Name]" like Robert the Bruce was the, ya know, the Bruce.

learned from a young age that being questioned was actually being criticized
over the years learned "don't ask questions you already know the answer to" and "don't ask questions you don't know the answer to" so never fucking learned how to ask questions, which are a key part of many ways people strengthen social bonds
look, I know there's other stuff but uh wow I have not been fine since like age 12 and it was clearly a bit dicey before that age too so...
QAMAR YA QAMAR TELL ME MORE ABOUT BEE PLEASE I WANT TO KNOW SOOOO MUCH WHEN I GET MY IPAD I'LL DRAW HER WITH NILLOUFAR AND MY OTHER OCS FOR THE GIGGLES
AMORA YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT BEE???? AND DRAW HER TOO??? I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DOCINHO <33 SENDING YOU THE BIGGEST KISS RN
also I don't think I've seen Nilloufar yet??? I'm going to look for them asap!!
now, be prepared for my Bee lore drop:
she's the prefect of Ramshackle from another world, so basically she's got the role of MC in the game! she's usually very friendly, although more to the introverted side. she's also VERY affectionate with her friends and when I say very, I mean it. yes, everyone at NRC has thought she was dating her friends at least once. she respects their boundaries of course, but if they don't complain about it she will hold their hand, hug them, kiss their cheeks and forehead and noses and hands, play with their hair, rest her head on their shoulder, cuddle with them, all very much platonic.
not to mention she's shameless around these she trusts. if she becomes your friend you bet she will say anything that's on her mind, which includes random compliments that are 100% genuine and some out of pocket jokes that will take you by surprise. while she's usually abiding by the rules and does her best at school work, she will cause mischief at times to entretain her. nothing that could put people in danger, just to mess with them in a light hearted way like teasing or roping them into her schemes.
Bee loves studying the theorical aspects of this new world, it's all so very new and cool to her. magic exists, there are different species, there's people that live under the sea, there's fae, there's a whole new geography and history and politics and culture, from movies to literature to music to games to folklore to traditions, that she can explore. she's very curious, which means she will want to know as much as she can and will make questions to any of her friends willing to answer! she especially is interested in social studies and would like to make ressearch about it, even work with it in the future!
she's in two clubs, the arts club and the mountain lovers club. now, you ask me: how did this happen? well, first she entered the arts club, since it was something she was used to and had an interest on! then, she finds out about the mountain lovers club and gets curious, so she checks it out one day. Jade is very pleasant (he wants more members to the club) and she likes it, but sadly she's already enrolled in one club and thinks Crowley wouldn't let her join another. Jade tells her to not worry about it, he would have a talk with Crowley. the next day, Crowley suddenly lets her take part in two clubs. I wonder how that happened...? nah, no need to worry about it.
if there's one thing she LOVES is sweets. anything with sugar will have her directing heart eyes at you. also, in a disney princess style, she gets along very well with animals. maybe not to the same point as Silver, but they do seem to have a soft spot for her too, which is GREAT because she will want to pet them. Jade has lost her more than once on their mountain expeditions because she wandered around following some cute animal she saw.
and she's the type to "go with the flow", you know? if adeuce get into trouble, she's there to either get into it with them or bail them out. if Floyd appears out of nowhere screaming "Shrimpy" and running in her direction, she will scream one of the many nicknames she's got for him and run in his direction as well. if Leona is napping on the botanical garden and there's space for one more, she will nap alongside him.
Bee will say some random sentences in portuguese sometimes or call people portuguese nicknames. she's very aware no one understands a thing and it's incredibly amusing to her. she will keep doing it, so there's no use in complaining. don't ask her the meaning of the words, there's a high possibility she will tell you the wrong meaning and giggle any time you say it. little menace (affectionate).
