😊 What can make your OC smile even when they’re feeling down? What cheers them up and makes everything feel better for them? Is your OC genrally a happy person and do they enjoy making others smile? What about your OC makes others happy?

ripley: assigned theatre kid. ripley is incapable of not yes-anding people and gets drawn into Bits with their friends; usually they're laughing along by the end and are, if not necessarily cheered up, at least distracted. they would also say that's their goal in their performances. they may not be able to fix things for people, but they can take their minds off their burdens for a while

agnes: she would tell you it's her dad, or manté, usually :) but the truth is that there hasn't been a lot in her life in the last few years that's felt cheerful. since her mom died it's harder for her to keep up her natural optimism but god she's trying. she feels like it's how she can carry mayu with her

oli: the temptation to just go being right here lmao. oli's emotional experience is very blunted in a lot of ways and repressed in others, and he wouldn't admit to feeling anything more than a general sense of resentful dread at the state of the world

kith: her wife keeps joking that she needs to wear a bell. kith comes up behind you silently and presses her forehead between your shoulders and makes just the saddest little yowl like a cat. she's very touchy and wants to be On people when she feels bad. usually the problem is that she's sleep-deprived and she passes out on you.

🌠 Who was your OC’s first friend? Do they remember them or are they still friends now? Talk about some of the people your OC has lost contact with over the years. Do they have any regrets about losing these people and would they revist them if they could?

ripley: they were friends with their cousins and other phiarlans first! the house is not necessarily insular but ripley's part of a massive extended family and was raised with a higher level of scrutiny due to ~plot reasons i can't talk about~. they wonder sometimes what happened to the people they lost contact with in the shadow schism, particularly elissar and ilixidor, but they have no real way of reaching across the gap

agnes: scott this is a MEAN question to give to her. agnes has buried every friend she knew as a child; she couldn't forget their faces if she tried. her entire social world shifted when her clan was attacked, and the friends she's made since then she's met through arturi and ryker. she misses the weathermay-foxgroves! they made her feel normal when she was Very unmoored ;-;

oli: his first friend was himself; he is the only person he can trust, and the only one who won't let him down. he's held onto that belief since he was a wyrmling and, until recently, it hasn't failed him!
