14. Do they have a favorite period in history?

Lyra doesn't necessarily want to travel back to the time of the Great Wars, but she finds it incredibly fascinating.

22. What was their favorite birthday gift?

Leo got her a fancy ray-gun once, she really liked that :D

23. Which birthday do they look back on the most fondly?

Ngl it was probably the "ray-gun" birthday bc she hadn't really had a good birthday for as long as she could remember.

35. What do they do if they can’t fall asleep?

She usually just reads a book or looks at records. Sometimes if it's really bad she takes a couple of Leo's sleeping pills 👀

36. Do they wear makeup regularly? If they don’t, would they consider wearing any?

👹 How does you OC act around different people and how does their personality change to match the environment they’re in? How do they act with: friends, family, strangers, children or their lover(s)?

🌸 What’s a sentence that would make your OC’s day better? One that would make them laugh? One that would make their day worse? Why? What words would you have to say to them to completely ruin their day?

“You did good today!” or “Great work Lyra!” would make her really happy.  Hearing something like “well dang, okay then.” when something catastrophic happens would cause her to burst out laughing.  “You did your best.”  is absolutely devastating for her to hear.  She hates hearing anything that means she failed at something.

❤️ What inspired you to make this OC? How long have you had them? How have they changed in the time you’ve been developing them?

I wanted to have a sarcastic, serious sidekick character to even out Leo’s ridiculous nature, and I decided to base her off the constellation Lyra bc it’s a cool name :3  I’ve had Lyra for 3-4 years (she’s the 2nd Star Gazer character I made.) She’s gotten way more developed and formed as a person, but her general appearance has stayed generally the same! (she does get a different haircut in season 2 tho)

🧡 What traits of your own do you see in this OC? Are they a little bit self-inserty? Don’t be shy, we all put parts of ourselves into the creations we love!

Definitely the hiding emotions part, I don’t really tell or show people how I feel irl and I usually come of as distant.  I also relate to her through her way of taking charge in chaotic situations, as I’ve always been one to do that for group projects.  She’s not too much of a self insert, but it’s inevitable for my OCs to pick up at least 1 or 2 things from me.

🌺 What additions would your OC make to their body if they could? Lets say, if they don’t have a tail would they want one? Wings? Horns? Do they wish they could shapeshift?

Oh she’d definitely want to be able to shapeshift, and have cool horns and wings.  That’s something she’s super jealous of about the other Half-Stars.

💗 Ramble a bit about this character!

OH HECK DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE WE GO....

K, so I’ll start with the main five SG peeps bc why not? Most of their stories would remain the same but with obvious gender changes. Like Leo would loose her mom, Draco would grow up with her Aunt, etc. I think Leo, Peg, and Draco would be comfortable in the opposite gender, Leo probably wears makeup, but not as much as Draco. And Lyra, simply, doesn’t give a darn about any of it. (Edna would be super uncomfortable since they would greatly prefer a female for over male)

Next up...SEASON 2! again, not a lot of changes in general plot. And everyone (especially Milo and Ella) would be comfortable or just ignorant as the opposite gender. Milo’s name would probably be Milly, Ella’s would change to Elliot, and Christopher would change to Christina while staying with Chris as a nickname. Milly probably wears a bunch of makeup to hide her extremely pale skin, and would probably worry more about her looks than the original Milo. Milly would undergo the same fate as Milo, but instead would be the one dealing with Chris, and therefore the Solaris would have no idea they have a grandson and Chris would have all her limbs!! Inlustris would run away to be with his family, but the Queen wouldn’t be able to do much about it. Also, Zaniah wouldn’t be angry at their dad bc, Draco would be the mom and would know darn well they’re a parent!

Lastly, Season 4/extras!!! Everyone’s names stay the same for this one, but Sky is an awkward and tall boi, who might be a bit less caring about their situation since he wouldn’t be the one having The Kid (Shasta) and could neglect his family as much as he likes. But he’d eventually have a change of heart from staying in that zoo for so long anyway. Annnd onto the stars, not much of a change with Epsilon and Lota, they’d just be really uncomfortable because their true human form is in the opposite gender...

Okay, first round of non-star Gazer ocs!! Not much of the stories would change, except for the obvious gender stuff. Elizabeth would heckin, LOVE being a dude in the sexist time period she’s in! Being able to go on adventures without judgement is her (I guess his) jam! And faun, Welp, faun honestly wouldn’t care or mind the change, as long as they’re alive.. Roger and Petteri....Roger wouldn’t like being a girl much, and would despise makeup. Petteri on the other hand, loves it and fully embraces being girly! (When she’s not possessed by ghosts...)

Last one! Fortis, Jennifer, and Parvus! No big story changes here. These three would be a little uncomfortable but not extremely upset, parvus would probably like being a girl more than Fortis tbh. And Jenny, Welp. Jenny’s pretty much the same. Tawn would change to a lighter colour and loose his horns/antlers, and have more curly hair, she’d act nervously but since original Tawn’s a shapeshifter changing forms wouldn’t have a big effect on them, pip? Pip is the same old Pip, just in girl form. Aerteretha would probably change with Pip having a mom who doesn’t die, and growing up in a magical land instead of the normal British countryside.
