I’m assuming you mean 9 to 12 :)

9. How do they manifest energy, exhaustion, tension, or other strong emotions?

When Nin’s energised, he tends to speak more animatedly, using his hands a bit more than usual. He’s known to hum or whistle constantly, but when he feels particularly good, humming turns into fully fledged songs about anything and everything.

An exhausted Nin will forget to finish his sentences and will ask you several times to repeat what you just said to him.

A tensed Nin will fidget with everything at his hand’s reach. He’ll be seen pacing (when usually he sits quietly) and rubbing his left thumb and index together nervously.

Whenever he feels strong emotions, he stumble upon his words, no matter the kind of emotion. Crying is also a common reaction: he’ll cry of rage, laughter, pain, anguish, sadness.

Five minutes ago, he’d been in a cell below Skyhold, awaiting the Inquisitor’s sentencing for pirating from Inquisition-allied ships. Some noble had whined to their fourth cousin once removed (or was it fifth) to “take care of” the ship pillaging their fleet, and that cousin just so happened to be Inquisitor Trevelyan.

But now Haskel Becket, unwanted bastard son and terror of the sea, was walking beside that very Inquisitor along Skyhold’s battlements. “We’re less likely to be overheard up here,” she’d said after she dismissed the guards who had brought Haskel to her. “Come with me.

“Sorry about the capture,” she said as they walked. “Our Nightingale got wind of Tevinters targeting you too, and I figured it was safer for you to be in our custody than dead at some Venatori’s hands. Here’s good.” She stopped and turned to him, folding her arms and fixing him with a steady green gaze, and Haskel had the sudden realization that for a woman, she was very tall. “What I want to know is, why were those Tevinters aiming for you? If your answer is both true and what I want to hear, I might have a job for you.”

Haskel studied her for a moment, calculating the risk. The Inquisitor couldn’t be seen to publicly piss off any high-ranker in Thedas, not even a magister. And with what he’d heard about this half-Tevinter Inquisitor…

Oh, who was he kidding. She was a Free Marcher. Talked like one, certainly. And he thought he recognized her name too. Trevelyan. They’d been another Ostwick noble family when he lived there, right?

“I was fucking up the slave trade. Attacking the ships carrying slaves, freeing ‘em, smuggling ‘em out.”

Trevelyan’s grin curved her mouth and showed her canines. “Excellent.” She turned to start walking again. “Captain Becket, I’m prepared to return your ship to you, along with your crew. You will not publicly be on the Inquisition’s payroll, but I have a friend at a bank in Orlais. He can make the payments…discreetly. I want you to go back onto the sea and continue your work, under one condition: that you will only attack Tevinter ships. Do not make my cousin Cecily come crying to me about losing profits. I didn’t even know I had a cousin Cecily until she whined to me about you.”

“Okay, so I get my ship back, keep doing what I’m doing, but this time with payment from some snot-nose in Orlais. Then what?” Haskel asked bluntly.

The Inquisitor was smiling as she led him back down the stairs to the courtyard. “Then, Captain Becket, you and I are going to change the world.”

A grin spread slowly on Haskel’s face as the idea formed solidly in his mind that, more than being a valuable friend, this bold woman could be someone he could really come to like.

♘ - Something my muse was embarrassed about. 

[already answered here but i’m sure I can whip out something for you haha]

Today I... fell asleep during a meeting Josephine arranged with Bann Hadrien. No one noticed, at first, and I think I could have gotten away with it since given the focus of the discussion, my presence wasn’t needed after all. But of course I had to fall off my chair. How professional of you Nindarhmen, well done.

To be fair, I didn’t get much sleep last night. I had a lot of work to do and many letters to go through. Still, extremely embarrassing.

🍃 CONFUSED

Aurelia acts offended when she’s confused because according to her, she never gets confused at all. She’ll shift the blame to whoever is confusing her or be in complete denial. 

🎡 AMUSED

Aurelia amused is basically symmetra laugh emote.gif

She snickers, using her fingers to hide her smile. 

🏝 LONELY 

why

Aurelia is used to being lonely so she hardly thinks about it. It’s another ordinary day in her life, why does it matter if she’s lonely or not? Some day, she’ll get jealous of the laughter she hears from a group of enchanters idly discussing their morning.

20: in what ways does your character compare themselves to others? do they do this for the sake of self-validation, or self-criticism?

skaldah’s pretty cool with who they are, tbh. they know their strengths and weaknesses, and know who complements them – they’re good at picking out parties that will have rounded abilities. so they compare themselves to others in both ways, i think, but they’re generally pretty good at keeping it in perspective.

38: is your character more likely to remove a problem/threat, or remove themselves from a problem/threat?

this one does kind of depend. if it’s just that they don’t like someone & are not getting along, they’ll probably remove themselves. but if it’s like, an actual danger that could affect other people, they’ll deal with it themselves.

7/10!
