½ = How the character feels about people taller or shorter than them

Well. It would take a lot to be shorter than her, and people who are are usually children, so she adores them. And almost everyone else is taller than she is, and she adores most of them, too. She just likes people.

(although, she does have a weakness for tall men but don’t come for her)

† = How the character feels about murder

Listen, if your character is like ‘hey, I’m chill with murder, do what you gotta do’ then I think we need to talk. This isn’t Mobster London, ok?

¥ = How the character handles money or spends it

Her house is paid off, so is her car, and she’s living comfortably, but any extra money she makes goes into the animal sanctuary. She can’t justify living with an excess of anything.

the moon: favorite quote? 

it’s this very not original lana del rey quote: “when someone else’s happiness is your happiness, that is love”.

the sun: what motivates you?

i would refer to the answer above. other people’s happiness is a great motivation for her. making other people happy, making sure they remain happy, bringing a smile to their face, that’s what she loves doing.

shooting star: who is your ideal s/o?

in terms of physical appearance, it depends. she very much so loves blue eyes so that’s a bonus, but it’s not mandatory. she’s not going to push away her prince(ss) charming because they have hazel eyes. height is a must. you have to be taller than her. who’ going to reach the nutella on the top shelf? certainly not her, she’d fall off the chair because she’s so clumsy. i would say that’s it?

howeverrrrrr, she searches for quite a few characteristics and personality traits. honesty, loyalty and kindness. they are mandatory. someone who is funny, who has a goofy or playful side so they match hers. someone who’s very patient and understanding, but at the same time very intense. she’s very much so the all or nothing type, so she wants the other person to do the same. she’s still willing to give time, chances, to take things slow if that’s what the other person needs. i guess it does not really matter if the other person is a good conversationalist or verbal communicator, she’ll do most of the talking anyway. still, being a good listener is appreciated so there is a certain balance. PHYSICAL CONTACT. a must!!!!! she doesn’t care if the person, outside of their relationship, hates physical contact and touches, but she needs the intimacy. random kisses, sitting on the couch with their arms around her, spooning while sleeping, hand on the thigh while driving or at the restaurant. she needs someone who is warm, with her. also give her someone who’s romantic, will leave small notes on the fridge, buy her flowers for no occasion, will tell her they love her. she’s the definition of needy.

🍉  :   which of the four seasons suits my muse best,  and why?  

i was on the fence about associating summer with sandrine (bc i hate summer). fall might be her favorite season, but it is too sad and gloomy to represent her accurately. winter is even worse, there is a certain anger, hopelessness and stillness to winter that just don’t fit. i’m left with spring, with flowers blossoming, with the renwed hope after a dead season. i found this sketcky website that shares this statement: “spring is the time when the world awakens from the death of winter. it is therefore a transition period, between the past of winter and the hope of summer, between memory and desire” while also quoting a poet to add “lilacs out of the dead land, mixing; memory and desire, stirring”. and yeah, i agree.

🍌  :    is my muse inclined to help others, or will they only do it when it benefits them,  if at all?  what makes them this way?  has it ever gotten them into trouble,  or inconvenienced them?

absolutely! sandrine will go above and beyond to help other people, whether they are closed friends or family or strangers. she very much does it as an instinct. BUT, she takes benefits from it. she does not believe in karma, yet she believes that by doing good actions, good things will happen to her. she earned a lot of validation (pride) through being called helpful, kind and reliable. even if she does not set her expectations towards other people very high, she still thinks that if she is being good to them, they will return the favor. she does not want to be hated or disliked, she wants to be perceived as the good, therefore, she must reflect that in her actions. the only sources of “trouble” her helpfulness brought her are related to the disappointment and sadness she encounters when she realizes that it’s not everyone who thinks and acts like her. it comes naturally to alessandra to give, to help, to support, but it’s unfortunately not innate to every human being and that alone is an inconvenience.

ツ - Can your muse speak any other language other than their main one?

He can barely speak English, let’s be honest. He does understand a lot of Hawaiian words just from growing up there, and used to speak Pidgin English a bit when he lived there, but he’s lost that.

✺ - Something your muse finds pretty

Everything. Sunrises, sunsets, spiderwebs, pebbles, architecture, facial expressions, rivers, clouds, knots in wood, knots in rope, knots in hair, patterns of freckles, stars, the moon, men, women, his puppy’s coat, gummy bears, sand castles, everything.

❦ - What is your muse’s favorite fruit? 

Mangoes. He used to have a mango tree in his backyard in Lahaina.

⌨ - How often does your muse use the computer?

Answered this one here.

Smarties: Who is the sweetest person you know? 

“Everyone I know is sweet in their own way. Sometimes it takes the peeling of a few layers before you get to the sweetness, but even onions can turn sweet if you treat them properly.”

Skittles: If you were a fruit, what kind of tree would you grow on and where would it grow?

“Hmm. Can my tree have flowers on it? Pretty blossoms that smell nice, I’d like that. I think it would be a sturdy tree, though. One that could grow defiantly in any weather, anywhere. I think that sounds a bit like me.”

Nerds: How would you rate your intelligence?

“Well, I do have a degree, but there are those who say I’m only a veterinarian, so I think it’s subjective. I know a lot about certain things, but there are many more areas in which I know little to nothing. But I love to learn.”

Kit Kat: When was the last time you sat back and had a moment to yourself?

i would say, this very morning! sundays are all about staying in bed late, stuffing her face with way too many crepes and not doing any work at all. she loves to call her parents and brother, to get some news. she can watch youtube videos (mostly safiya nygaard, rosanna pansino and jeffree star) until the sun goes down. she stops her weekly intake of videos to go grocery shopping so she can spend her evening doing meal prep. that is her favorite form of self-care!

Twix: Was there a time when you should have thought before you said something?

she says a lot of words, all the time. too many words. there is not just brakes between her brain and her mouth. it’s the autobahn. so she does regret when she speaks too much, tells a joke the other person does not find funny, gets a bit too brutally honest although her intentions were good, and so on. regretting most of her social interactions is her aesthetic.

M&Ms: What color would you say is the color of your soul?

it would be a muted version of her favorite color. i found this one called “vivid tangerine” and i think it would fit. it has a bit of her peachy/coral vibrance, but it’s toned down which matches the fact that (shocking i know) she can be calm and reserved at times.

favorite candy: orange flavored lollipops and watermelon slices.

favorite song: this was answered here, sweets!

favorite color: a pink-ish, orange-ish peachy coral that looks like that.

favorite item of clothing: she has knitted mittens her grandma made her (they could look like that!) and she absolutely loves them! she has the matching knitted scarf and winter hat.

favorite crystal: i have to admit i know nothing about crystals, but i feel like she would like them maybe not for the healing properties (she’s pretty skeptical on how a rock can like cure the flu or migraines), but for the aesthetic and the meaning instead. i’ve done some quick research and i would say that amethyst (it’s apparently calming and peaceful??? sandrine needs that), rose quartz (bonus because its PINK but also because it represents love and compassion) and citrine (it’s associated with happiness and warmth) would be her favorites!!!!
