#bouse

I'm mainly asking how their dynamic works, and if this changes their actions/personalities at all, as I've read all I could find about these two and their pairing, I haven't been able to find a post where you go in depth on the differences between a Rice being the dominant one, and a BossMouse being the dominant one. This is all I need to really get the story going, as I really want to be accurate on this front.

Also, would being runaways from a fighting ring change any core traits? Like would a Rice still be a masochist, or would that be seriously toned down? Ive already put in my notes things like how its mainly only sudden noises they hate now, and how they can tolerate burning plastic smells more from their time in the dump, but its things like that I decided I might want to double check with you as well.

I also reblogged a post with some of these questions, but decided I should actually send in an ask, lol.

(This Post will be answering the second half about the fighting ring and how this effects them)

There will be two parts! (The first bit will take a bit longer at the rate I’m going ^^’)

Rice and BM definitely do change!!

Especially with a Dominant Rice or Bouse

The paranoia, aggression, and sadistic/masochistic levels will indeed increase, becoming more fight then flight, they will talk smack a lot more, be verbally and physically aggressive, size others up often and look for escape routs when vulnerable ( Dominant/Protector )

The Treasure, on the other hand will be more calculative, quieting down when in crowds, being more observant and far more nippy, they will always have things a certain way, will fidget with their jewelry, paws, tail or ears more often, and pick at their wounds. They will also have a tendency to not wear anything around the neck or on the ears, because they fear being choked or having the item ripped out. But they will wear things around the tail, probably sharp and prickly to prevent grabbing- as well as around the wrists and ankles, they do t usually wear as much jewelry as the average Bouse or Rice you will typically see and instead hide the items away only wearing them on special occasions.

Both, because they are hard of hearing, will be far more jumpy, by heavily tapping things nearby to get their attention you can ease them into your presence and prevent startling them too bad.

They will most likely detest the noise of angry shouting, loud bells, crackling, mic sounds in general, banging, barking large dogs, and even in some cases will even heavily detest or become stiff when hearing an announcer like voice.

Smells are a tricky subject, their noses can be sensitive so it is not uncommon for them to cover their mouths and noses with fabrics and other things that may help block the scents, strong herbs, charcoal, soap, flowers, salts, but NEVER perfumes!

Most BM and Rice are used to the smell of burning plastic though! Unless they are a newer pair, but because your pair is not you do not need to worry about that. However you are slightly right about a tolerance for the burning plastic since they are mixed with other substances and chemicals in the dump, they would definitely build up a better tolerance to it but not completely, chemicals can damage their noses after all- they would become so used to the smell that they might not even notice their loss of smell.

Rices do Indeed become much more masochist! As well as BMs become far more sadistic, each become a little more cruel because of the environment, and may act out these things without proper guidance. It will be your job to either help redirect or correct these behaviors so that you and others may not become hurt.

Protector and Treasure are supposed to balance one another out. And it will be explained hopefully more in the next post, but the main thing about them is that one

Protects, defends, makes shelter, creates safety, security and makes the treasure happy

The other, Redirects, Plans, Schemes, calculates, organizes, and heals their Protector

Now this can change, not every BM and Rice are the same, some pairs will actually swap traits, some will completely swap their dynamic in extremely rare cases despite one or the other being the Treasure or Protector. This is just the most common dynamic that forms.

Kind of like a Warrior and Healer party in a way ^^
