Your mystery question is here :)
☂️Umbrella: What is one thing that protects your character and keeps them safe?
🌧Rain: What is one thing that can immediately ruin your character's mood?
⚡️Lightning: What surprises your character? What is the most sudden, surprising thing that has happened to them?
...yeah, I'll try to see how these would apply to Char.
☂️ What is one thing that protects your character and keeps them safe? - The easy answer would be the time loop since it shields them from dying permanently (though it is more of a trap they're trying to get out of). There's also just the way they were reconfigured so that they can enter the Tetrahedron without getting clocked as human (though the wrong questions can break that safety pretty easily)...probably the best answer would be just the people they hang out with whenever they're not trying to break out of the loop because it's a kind of psychological safety in people they can trust (amid the invasive AI and the falling sky)
🌧️ What is one thing that can immediately ruin your character's mood? Char struggles with rejection sensitivity. There's a loop that I've yet to put out there that exhibits the extent of the rejection sensitivity (to the extent of thinking "oh, I'm an irredeemable asshole")...but there are also loops depicting mood-ruiners like the loopback cutting short some time with a good friend or grief dreams (the kind where your loved one who's passed away is there and then you wake up).
⚡ What surprises your character? What is the most sudden, surprising thing that has happened to them? Sam, who Char ends up spending a lot of time with in the loop, surprises them at times. There's also a lot of surprise coming from the fact that they have amnesia from the Advent (when they were first modified, about three years and two months before Do While takes place) to when they first started looping. I'd say the most sudden thing that's happened to Char is depicted in a loop where they're debating approaching and maybe befriending a group of people...only to find out that they're already known.
