Character building meme: 1, 10, 17, 27, 28.
1.) What foods do they love, and what foods do they refuse to eat?Love: Beets, dandelion greens, dodo, certain cuts of aldgoat, aldgoat milk, vegetable stew, sweets with honey, coffee, dark breads, Hollow’s cooking, lentils, carajillo (whatever that’d be in Eorzea.)Refuse to eat: Tongue, fish stew, fish prepared by anyone but Ty, raptor, eft, oysters/clams/etc, bananas, blue cheese, dill, pumpkin, snurbleberrys (They’re overrated!)Â
10.)Â What makes them feel safe or secure? What makes them feel insecure or unsafe?
Crowds in the city make Aedida uncomfortable and dizzy. Occasional bouts of homesickness pull her back from activity when friendship isn’t enough to not feel alone. Realization she doesn’t have a home any longer, and her disconnection from her family and culture makes her restless, agitated and fearful.Â
Sleeping brings the most comfort, and returning to her office/room. Being in a quiet place to reflect or rest. Handling things from home. Spending time dressing her hair up in braids and beads. There’s something calming about stealing a nap on the Flame.Â
17.)Â Do they have any pet peeves or petty dislikes, and how do they react to encountering them?
People who are cheerful despite their circumstances and willfully ignorant. Dogmatic fanaticism.Â
Both will be met with a stick, or sarcasm and sneers.Â
27.)Â Do they have children? Do they want children? What names would they choose?
No children, yet. She has no idea if she’s still capable of carrying one due to her experiments but she still takes care of and manages every sexual encounter as though she is.Â
Raised without the expectation of having any, the freedom to choose is confusing. However, living in what’s essentially a boarding community with the Free Company, her situation isn’t stable enough. If Aedida ever wanted to have children, she knows it’d have to wait.Â
28.) What is a gift that they have received that was especially touching or significant?
After her grandmother died her father collected her bones and fashioned several into a pair of carved hair beads. Since Aedida wasn’t present for the passing or the ceremony, she treasures them more than any of the ancestral beads she wears. While more often than not the ones she wears were carved from aldgoat, or the rare dragon bone, the plain discoloured unpainted ones hold more significance to her.Â
They represent the trust her father placed in her to keep the heirlooms safe, and her ties to her family.Â
NO MATTER HOW MORBID IT SEEMS.
