2. Do they have any daily rituals?

Dana always stretches when she wakes up. She stretches when she gets done with long drives too though but the wake-up stretches are the same every time instead of just stretching what’s sore. She is also very particular about the way she brushes her teeth, if that counts. Same way every time.

12. Favorite book genre?

She doesn’t get to read a whole lot but she is 100% into murder mysteries, horror, and fantasy novels. She doesn’t have too much interest in nonfiction.

18. Favorite beverage?

i answered dis one!

23. How organized are they? How does this organization/disorganization manifest in their everyday life?

She swears she’s organized but it’s mostly in her head. Like she can find whatever she needs in her bag or in her storage units but to anyone else they look like absolute disasters. Not like she has a home or office to organize/destroy but she usually keeps things clean, if cluttered.

31. Most prized possession?

THAT................ IS A SECRET :3

9. What recharges them when they’re feeling drained?

Naps, showers (or bubble baths!), snacks. For as extroverted as she is, she likes having quiet time to rest and recover. Sometimes though she likes to recharge her ego and that usually involves arm wrestling strangers. She is a good arm wrestler. Sometimes it takes more violent turns though oops

48. How do they express love?

Stubbornly and subtly. She’s pretty sure that anyone or anything she loves is temporary, at best. She feels like maybe if she only shows a little bit of love, she’ll convince herself she only feels a little bit of love, instead of a lot. It manifests in helping, mostly. Running errands or taking care of someone. Doing things she wouldn’t normally do, like cook or hold hands. “Be safe”, “remember your medicine”, “do you want the last bite of this?”, those sorts of things.

49. If this person were to get into a fist fight, what is their fighting style like?

RUTHLESS, RELENTLESS, AND UNFORGIVING. She’s not so good at keeping her guard up, but that’s probably because she’s busy going all-out to just. destroy. She’s a tackler and goes for the gut mostly to avoid breaking her hand but every once in a while she’ll get a good nose punch in there. She is also very guilty of kicking. Gotta put those strong thighs and stompy boots to good use.

50. Is this person afraid of dying? Why or why not?

45. Superstitions or views on the occult?

Giselle is like... gently superstitious. It’s not a huge deal if a black cat crosses her path (plus she loves catte) but if she spills salt she throws it over her shoulder. Pick n choose superstitious. Also she believes in like 90% of the supernatural and does her best to Stay Out Of Its Way.

42. Hobbies?

Edel likes gardening, nature shows, watchin’ wrestling, workin out, doting on Leah, walks... she wants to like cooking but she’s not very good at it. She likes cleaning up after though, she’s pretty tidy. Do squirrels count as a hobby

42. Hobbies?

Dana likes playing w knives, showing off, organizing select things (like ammo or some of her sentimental stuff), push ups, punching, kicking, baseball, whittling pointy sticks into pointier sticks, playing with her hair, making mix tapes, and also watching The Twilight Zone.

43. How far did they get in formal education? What are their views on formal education vs self-education?

5. Cleanliness habits (personal, workspace, etc.)

Dana keeps herself pretty clean. I would say super clean, but she doesn’t carry around like, hand sanitizer or baby wipes. She showers once or twice a day if she can and she smells a lil bit like baby lotion. 

She lives out of her car and a magical infinite duffel bag a la Mary Poppins. Her car is kept pretty clean and empty since she can stuff most things into the bag. Larger things go in the trunk. THE BAG, HOWEVER…. it has needed a good cleaning out for like. at least two years. There’s trash and dirty laundry and loose ammo (the collected ammo is organized neatly every other month or so) and broken weapons and photos she thought she lost. Like. It’s so bad. She’s a bit of a hoarder without meaning to be. She has some storage units across North America for when she remembers to take out artifacts from her adventures. Those are organized… sort of neatly. There’s no real rhyme or reason to how they’re set up but she can still find everything.

6. Eating habits and sample daily menu

Dana eats a LOT of diner food. Since she lives out of her car she doesn’t get a whole lot of opportunities to cook meals for herself (and doesn’t rightly know how to make more than sandwiches, really) so she ends up stopping wherever is available when she gets hungry. She likes buying from roadside stands and local markets, too. Fresh peaches and strawberries are the way to her heart. There’s a lot of breakfast food and burgers in her diet, and she keeps snacks for the road, usually trail mix or just nuts.Sample daily menu!! Breakfast is a banana, maybe toast, and black motel coffee (water, if she slept in her car the night before, coffee obtained at the first place that sells it). Nothing too heavy. Snacks on sunflower seeds to keep her awake (esp if no coffee) until she feels legit hungry. Stops for a sandwich… I think she likes reubens, BLTs, aaand italians best. On good days, dinner is breakfast food. Bad days, it’s lunch leftovers.
