🍏  :    how stable is my muse’s physical health?  do they go for regular or semi-regular checkups by a physician?  do they have any diagnosed illnesses and / or take any medication?  how often do they get sick?

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

Riva absolutely adores the summertime; she loves the cute blouses, the flowing skirts and dresses, the floral prints and most importantly, the iced coffees.

🍋  :    what kind of diet does my muse have?  do they eat regularly,  or the standard 2-3 meals a day?  do they have to be reminded to eat,  or are they likely to remind others?  do they cook,  or have others cook for them?  do they eat healthily,  or not so much?

🍒  :    how much does my muse value companionship?  do they constantly keep people around them,  or do they prefer to be alone often?  do they have or desire to have many friends?  do they see every meeting as an opportunity to make a new friend?  

she values it way too much. it’s alarming. she thrives when she’s involved in a social interaction of some sort. she could be sitting alone at a café and start to spiral and overthink. but there’s some stranger sitting alone too? she suddenly feels better. sandrine needs to be left alone, at times. she needs to be left alone in her own madness and noise and universe to get back on her feet. she is the kind to surround herself with people when she’s feeling good, and then isolate when she’s emotional when she would actually need friends the most. every meeting is definitely an opportunity to make a friend. even at work, she’d be waxing someone’s upper lip, armpit or leg like no biggie and asking them random questions to try and see what she has in common with them. if you have talked to her at least once, you’re her friend!

🍇  :    how would my muse describe their childhood?  how much has it impacted the person they are now,  or will become as an adult?  around what age did they or will they start to mature,  and why?  do they wish to go back to their days as a child,  or have they embraced adulthood? 

her childhood was, from her point of view, amazing. it was unique, it was complex, but it was great. she grew up in a comfortable level of freedom. she could be artistic, she could be creative, she could be sporty, she could be lazy, she could be homey, she could be brave. she had it all. it’s not exactly true. it’s like her own memory sugar coated everything so she would not get hurt, so she would not remember the countless times she cried when her mom left once again for work and barely stayed home long enough to share a hug. so she would not remember the countless times her brother was the main focus of her family. she only remembers the positive, and it’s better that way. she does wish she could go back to being a child. she might have a bit of a peter pan syndrome. she is insanely mature (although her lack of intelligence and tact might prove otherwise), but she wishes she could go back to simpler times. i think she was forced to gain maturity. her father struggled to raise two lively children. her mother struggled, period. her grandmother was wonderful, but needed help and care. alessandra took it upon herself to become a maternal figure, if that makes sense? she cared about her family’s wellbeing before her own.
