Is your character happy in their body? Why or why not?

Stevie’s probably content with her body. Growing up, she prioritized the way her body looked because of dancing instructors and norms within the industry. She notices even the smallest of changes in her body.  As a dancer she’s always been expected to be in great shape which sometimes  brought questionable methods to use. As she left the world of ballet that required her to be so thin, she’s really worked on her core and building muscle. In that sense, she’s in a much healthier body than ever before. Between working out and dancing, she manages to keep her figure, but she’s always striving to be better. 

Has your character ever gone under the knife? If yes, for medical or cosmetic reasons?

Yes, for medical reasons. When she was seventeen she got into an argument with another dancer. After slapping her, the other dancer elbowed her in the face ending up breaking her nose and having to get surgery. 

Has your character ever felt pressure from social media in regards to their body?

Sometimes, it’s a little hard not to compare herself to others because that’s what she grew up doing, but it’s also not a priority as it once used to be. 

Does your character have piercings or tattoos? If yes, describe them. If no, why not? Would they ever consider getting some, or getting more?

Single ear piercings, her doubles closed after piercing them in a rebel phase. She has two butterflies on her right side rib (thinner than pictured above) in representation of her mother and herself (though she doesn’t disclose that to people often because it’s cheesy and she knows that). She tried to get the tattoo in a hidden place just because tattoos are frowned upon in the ballet world. She honestly doesn’t know if she wants more or not, but catch her on a good day. 

How does your character feel about extreme body mods? Would they ever get one?

“You do you”, has always been her motto.  Stevie has considered getting a breast reduction when she was younger, but now she’s glad she didn’t. 

Does your character have any prominent or visible scars? How do they feel about them?

Stevie has scars on her feet from dancing so much. Not only is she not a fan, but she’s starting to feel the toll of dancing on her body which is why she tries to stay as fit as possible. 

Your character’s favorite part of their body, if they have one?

1. Is your character happy in their body? Why or why not?

Yes and no. He doesn’t think about his body often. He has nice arms and he obviously loves all his tattoos, but he doesn’t think he’s anything special. 

2. Has your character ever gone under the knife? If yes, for medical or cosmetic reasons?

Once before for breaking his leg pretty badly in a skating accident when he was a teenager. The scar is covered by a tattoo now.

3. Has your character ever felt pressure from social media in regards to their body?

Not really. He doesn’t care what people think.

4. Does your character have piercings or tattoos? If yes, describe them. If no, why not? Would they ever consider getting some, or getting more?

He has so many. Both arms and legs are covered. He mostly sports classic style tattoos and a lot of them depict his favorite horror movies as well as just some of his favorite tattoo designs. He’s always planning on getting more.

5. How does your character feel about extreme body mods? Would they ever get one?

He thinks everyone has a right to do whatever they want with their bodies. He has no desire to do anything extreme.

6. Does your character have any prominent or visible scars? How do they feel about them?

Just the one on his leg that has since been covered up. He didn’t cover it up because he didn’t want to see it, either. He didn’t mind it, but he wanted that realestate for tattoos.
