Sib can 100000% do just about anything in high heels, she really wasn't allowed to wear anything else growing up once she became a teenager, and even then there were small heels for formal events. Mostly the reason why she wouldn't be able to do things in heels is because its not the right type of heel. Like she can fight in high heel boots and strappy heels with closed toes because they have more stability to them. She can move silently in stilettoes because of how little the heel is and she has the most practice with these types of heels sneaking out of the house (again it was rare for her mother to buy her anything other than a heel). the tl;dr Sib is very adepts at wearing heels and feels as natural as walking barefoot.

Now see Alma is the same height as Sib but she does not have the same qualms about being the shortest in the group that Sib does. Alma doesn't like heels, like at all, hell the poor girl can't even walk in them if they're higher than like 2-3in and aren't skinny. Granted this could be because she didn't grow up in places that expected her to wear them or even had the chance to explore with them, so it might be a bias in that regard but she's just not about them even once it is required of her after the game events of xvi (its what you get girlie for marrying the heir to the ducal throne). She's much more practical in that she will wear boots that will last a long long time until she can't patch them up anymore (not that anyone will let her get to that state anymore), always brown, pretty plain, and you'll find they're scuffed and covered in mud and dirt because she likes to go hunting for herbs and other ingredients for her medicines as she can be very particular about them. If she has to be formal she will wear flats that are plain and have a strap (so mary janes but no heel), but don't count on her having them when they're traveling.

🍡 - Can your muse cook? Can they bake? How well can they do either? Do they have any kitchen disaster stories?

Sib.....cannot cook to save her fuckin life. She could boil water sure but like she would still burn the chicken with the water. Bless her heart she tries in order to show those she loves that she cares about them in a way that's not just buying them a gift, but it just isn't in her skill set. Just let her buy you some fancy food and deserts and save yourself the potential sickness. As for a disaster story? There was a time that both she and Raha attempted to make a cake for a kind of take back birthday celebration (that was really only Sib wanting an excuse to throw a party and celebrate). It.....didn't go all that well. There was flour everywhere, frosting was burned, they think the cake was undercooked, and the decorations were nothing but sparkles and sprinkles. Think along the lines of the show Nailed It! and you get the idea of what happened there. Thankfully Tataru could see this coming from a mile away (aka Demos saw them looking over a recipe book and told her) and arranged to have something edible made. It was the thought that counted though and it was still used as the display cake!

Alma isn't much of a baker, as those items can turn out a little dense and flat and their presentation (even as simplistic as it would be in that universe) isn't really appealing. But! She's a really great savory cook even if the presentation is something to be desired. She's really great at identifying herbs and other edible plants and knows their properties so she can make something taste good and be healing in someway or feel that way at least. This was kind of one of the first skills learned in her journey of hyper specific knowledge as a catatonic/disassociated dominant wasn't to keen on taking medicine, so she learned to hide it in food. He knows now that its there and can taste it but for those two years it was the best way to get him to take anything. As for a disaster story the closest you'll get is in the time after Joshua woke up fully, she was cooking some stuff down and getting extracts, but she wasn't used to him being awake. So pair that with her tunnel vision being focused and his silent nature, she about near had a heart attack when he came by to ask something in the kitchen which caused her to knock the pot off the stove, attempt to catch it, burn her hand, and having it fall on the floor anyway. And she was just starting to develop a small crush on the man (like still the distant he's attractive and he has such a nice personality that's being observed school girl kind of crush) so it was embarrassing to say the least. He felt bad though and took care of the burn and even offered to go to the market and get more of what she needed. But yeah that was the closest to a kitchen disaster she had.

🎶 - What kind of music does your muse listen to? Do they have a favorite genre? Do you think the aux cord would be taken away from them?

Sib likes a bit of everything really, but mostly music one can dance to! So pop, edm, club, some country pop, and like anything in that vein are go tos for her. You may want to try and take the aux cord away from her on a trip because you've had to endure 3+ hrs of bad singing and passenger seat dancing and thinking she's in her own music video, but you think better of it because the alternative is her talking for the rest of the 3+hrs, just ask Demos he'll tell you! But if you're up for a music journey you won't be disappointed! Some songs you could find are as follows

"Jai-Ho (You Are My Destiny)

"What Angel Wakes Me" (which also serves as a nice like character song for her too!)

"Señorita"

Alma is more in the slower love song, folk, Americana, some bluegrass, and other genres in that kind of realm. Now this is a more modern answer so in terms of like music more in that world its the epics of love and loss from the bards, and the celebration music you hear with drums, guitars, flutes, and violin, and don't forget the romantic waltzes! those are a staple and it is a sure fire way to make her swoon. Tracks from the game that fit the sound best are

"Hide, Hideaway"

"Forevermore" which has a bit more modern aspects to it but fits the vibe

And "Ending" that was unused

Demos would take to it much better, especially given his childhood in the woods of the Shroud. He’s a crafty guy and will take the opportunity to work with different mediums for his art. Typically painting as he relies more on sketches being on the road constantly moving. While in Ishgard he took up making smaller and more intricate designs in metalwork to put on the machinist’s weapons which proved to be very coveted given his prior work done on other weapons from his blacksmith days. Demos overall likes the slower life and just taking the time to work on appreciating life.

Anthea (Ancient)

Anthea would hardly get stuck in inclement weather given the paradise they lived in, but! if they did they would spend the time sitting by the window and watching it happen with a warm drink. Eventually Hythlodaeus would join them and they’d just sit in contentment talking about life and plans for the future. For a long while their sundered self they did this alone too but finally having Hythlodaeus’ shard it feels much more natural and comfortable.

Stasia wir Galvus Enache (Half-Ascian and former protégé of Emet-Selch)

Stasia is always planning, always has some paperwork to do so she keeps pretty busy it wouldn’t matter that the weather is bad. If it was like a blizzard or something that kept her indoors for days and she ran out of things to do she’d take the time to organize her spell components.
