Ahh thank you for the asks!! Sorry it took me forever to see this. I randomized which OCs to talk about so that I don't always just talk about Miranan, but I got him twice anyway, lol!

(2.) What does their bed look like? Does that change over time as they find more merchants and towns?

For Natza:

I think she'd really want her bed to be comfy and warm, as many blankets and pillows as she could find, even some more decorative ones if she could her hands on them! Ideally pink, since that's her favorite color.

Natza, reclining

For Miranan:

(21.) What hobbies do they have on the road? How easy is it to find the supplies they need to do that hobby?

Miranan basically lived on the road already, pre-nautiloid, so his hobbies are already very portable. Basically, he likes to smoke weed from his pipe, play with and cuddle his wolf companion, Berry, occasionally play the flute that used to belong to his mother, and whittle small things sometimes. He always carries a wooden pipe, small pouch of (pipe)weed, his mother's flute, and a small whittling knife with him wherever he goes. Berry also accompanies him everywhere, though they are (temporarily) separated when he's captured on the nautiloid :'(

(33.) What non-leadership skill or area of expertise do all the companions seek them out for advice on?

As a ranger and having spent basically all his life traveling the wilds, Mira is a very skilled scout, tracker, and navigator. I think he'd be great at path-finding for the group and he'd be able to demonstrate good wilderness survival skills to any of the less...erm... ruggedly inclined companions.

I posted a picture of Erza hugging Natsu after he beat Jellal in the tower of heaven (he was passed out)

JeRza stan responded to the guy with:

"People downvoting you cause Natsu isn't even hugging her, Erza is holding him after he got his teeth knocked in and you are taking it completely out of context. If I remember right, Natsu also punched Erza for crying. I swear Natza fans be some of the most toxic and crazed shippers out there"

Typical from most JeRza bums. I responded to the JeRza stan with:

"Oh you have no idea how hypocritical you sound. The fact that you're calling me toxic when you're the one insulting me and the people like me.

She's hugging him after he absolutely DESTROYED jellal. And you don't know a damn thing about me or NatZa

He didn’t use magic, didn’t blast her with a fire attack; he used a single, decisive gut punch to make sure she wouldn’t be caught in the battle him and Jellal were about to have. It’s the fastest, cleanest way to remove her from the danger zone without a drawn-out argument.

She is hugging him after he put everything on the line and is exhausted from his fight with Jellal

Again, this is exactly what I get from most people. You guys love to go straight to personal insults, calling me and the few people like me that are left "the most toxic and crazed" shippers out there

Also, I never said that Natsu was hugging her. I said it was a NatZa hug after Natsu beat Jellal. Make sure you read what I typed before you try coming at me.

Truth is, there were so many back then. I remember when I was just a teenager, before I even knew what "shipping" was, watching the two of them fight together, bleed together, and be there for each other. Sure, nalu was around back then, but it was more minor due to the early popularity of GrayLu. But the moment that Juvia comes around? Suddenly everyone and their mother is shouting "GRUVIAAAAAA!!!!!" And acting like GrayLu never existed. Though GrayLu fared better in the end in comparison to NatZa.

Anyways, back to NatZa. When Jellal comes around, everyone is rushing to become a JeRza stan, acting like they weren't NatZa prior to the Tower of Heaven arc. Suddenly, every single sweet interaction that Natsu and Erza ever had in the past is "sibling like" and "platonic".

1) The supporters usually think of themselves as holier-than-thou superiors just because of the fact that their shit pairing is "canon" [even though blue haired punk is hardly even around] and they almost always feel the need to shit on anyone that either supports something else, or opposes their pairing. Trust me, an angry JeRza fan on Reddit is enough to make anyone log off for the day

2) The pairing in and of itself is toxic. Nothing left between the two besides childhood memories and trauma. Time and time again in not only the real world, but across numerous other media, we have seen the fallout that comes from trauma bonding and relationships based around such. Not to mention throughout the entire time that blue haired punk jellal got revived, she was always tryna get with him. Prior to that disgusting attempted "kiss scene", she was completely disregarding the mistakes he had made. When jellal brings up Simon, she brushes it off with "he would have wanted you to move on". Miss me with that thirst energy. To add insult to injury, the soundtrack they played in the background of the attempted kiss scene was the same soundtrack that was playing when Simon died.

3) NatZa got support early in the series, but the moment that jellal magically gets revived they COMPLETELY throw it all out the window. You're gonna tell me that Erza would rather pick some blue-haired loser that killed numerous men women and children that she only knew for a little bit of time when she was just a little kid over someone that was always there for her throughout her childhood and teenage years? Someone to save her from the very person that she now supposedly "loves"? Ridiculous.
