‘  i’m not gonna listen to what the past says.  ’

sandrine blinked, slowly. maybe it was the stuffy ambiance of the bar or maybe it was the cocktail that finally hit her, nevertheless she was left confused. “this sounds like some mantra from a fortune cookie.” a shy giggle escaped her mouth. she could not even understand how their conversation could take such a dramatic turn, interesting indeed, but very dramatic still. “but the past shaped us into the people we are today.” she stated with conviction. “you can’t just... not listen to it. or not care about it. or not take it into consideration. it’d be erasing so much of a person’s identity!” she slammed her hand on her thigh for emphasis. “for example, my past defines me as someone who gets tipsy from three sips of one daiquiri. if i didn’t listen to the past, i’d order five refills and you would have to drag me out of here before i pass out.” she wisely set her glass down, refusing to reach this level of intoxication. “i mean, i won’t force you to do that, but that would be very sweet of you. no pressure, though! is chivalry even a thing nowadays?”

does your character work so they can support their hobbies or use their hobbies as a way of filling up the time they aren’t working?

She works because she loves her job and her students. Even if she got paid buttons, she would most probably still be working as the principal of the high school. She does, however, enjoy impulse buying, and is rarely seen without Dior this, or Chanel that.

what does your character pretend or try to care about?

Riva’s quite open and authentic when it comes to things she cares and doesn’t care about; she loves to support her students while they go through the challenges of being a high school student and even in their personal/home lives, she loves being able to help the animal shelter. 

how does the image your character tries to project differ from the image they actually project?

the emperor: what are some names that you like? 

she loves french names that work for both girls and boys like emmanuelle/emmanuel, gabrielle/gabriel & raphaëlle/raphaël. she loves more unisex names like jordan, skylar, hayden, finley, riley & jamie. she gets on board with the whole hyphenated names like léa-rose, ann-élizabeth, louis-philippe. she loves names, okay?

temperance: can you describe a strange dream you’ve had? 

so one time she dreamt that harry styles stopped by her salon and argued with her employees because he did not want anyone else to do his nails but her. rumour has it that this was the beginning of a beautiful love story that ended with mini-me’s of harry and a gorgeous wedding where they both sang their wedding song... but she woke up. 

oh and bonus: she dreamt she was playing hockey and that she brought her team to victory (full on canadian hockey team at the olympics, you know!), but she didn’t win by scoring, she won by doing axels and loop jumps while wearign a sparkly hockey jersey.

joy 🌞

marie kondo failed her. because everything sparks joy for sandrine. using a lipstick shade she likes, smelling a flower that just bloomed after almost dying because she put so much water in the pot this poor plant turned into seaweed, mixing cookie batter and adding more chocolate chip to the point it’s not even a batter anymore, listening to a bird that did not fly away as soon as she approached it squealing like a weirdo... the simplest things bring her the most joy. on a materialistic point of view, she has some hoarder tendencies. what if she wants to look at this dead maple leaf she keeps squeezed between magazine pages she has not touched in years? what if she wants to keep bits and pieces of ribbons she uses to wrap holiday packages at the salon? what if she loves the first seashell she collected when moving to devinstone too much to throw it away even though it’s boring and plain? she is not materialistic, she just clings to memories. in brief: she loves joy. everything sparks joy. sparkles and glitter and rainbows (the contrast of that and her need to be someone’s joyful spark is sad).

1. a song I associate with my muse’s personality

the previous answer can be found here.

but i’ll add one! falling by harry styles. she thinks she’s always the one to blame, she’s always the one making mistakes and she feels very guilty for basically everything. she tries to be cheerful and supportive and encouraging at all times and she’s scared that if she acts differently, people will lose interest in her. the song also fits the whole she loves everyone else more than they love her vibe.

6. a song that my muse always sings along to 

it’s all coming back to me now by sandrine’s mortal enemy, céline dion. she doesn’t like céline, at all. she’s probably the only quebecer who can’t stand her. BUT this is one of her mother and grandmother’s favorite songs and she knows it by heart. she doesn’t care if it plays while she’s working or if she’s in the car or at the mall or alone at her house, she will sing her heart out. (also lea sings this song so well, i had to use her version).

12. a song that my muse would play at their wedding

i won’t give up by jason mraz (lea singing this song on glee might have influenced me a tiny bit).

razzle dazzle rose — favorite flower? 

it’s lilac! everything from the color to the scent. she loves lilac, and prefers the traditional light purple kind. it lasts longer once cut than the darker or the white varieties.

i searched flowers that grow well in canada and there’s a certain variety of dalhias i have never seen before that could be a great choice too. especially this color, this one and this one too! a special mention to this geranium color. big big big fan.

yes i actually spent thirty minutes of intensive research for that, don’t mind me!
