pan dulce - do they have an "i can fix them" complex? or are they one that needs to be fixed? if neither, how do they feel about the idea?

[ Her partner was never the problem. If he cannot notice her attempts, then she is simply the one doing things wrong. Multiple times, Faye states her reason for fighting and triumphing on the battlefield and yet he never notices. They were trained together as kids and held a bond in battle for so long, and he just never got it.

But he didn't need fixing, it's her own fault! She needed to get better, get stronger for his sake. Stronger until he could no longer ignore her strong and pure feelings. Maybe this whole war thing is getting in the way and he just wanted a reminder of the simpler things in life. Sharing meals...she can cherish in those moments for him.

Faye: Well! Remember when you sat next to me at dinner yesterday? You gave me that leftover heel of bread you didn’t want! Alm: You’re excited about…bread? Faye: No, silly! You touched my hand! …I was up all night thinking about it. [SoV Alm/Faye B Support]

It's always important to aim for a goal, right? Well then, she would simply make him her goal! Eventually she can catch up, eventually she can reach the goal and happy ending that she (and he) desired!

Lene's body type is thin, with arms of decent reach, alongside slim legs that are firm enough for balancing. By all accounts, the perfect body suited for the woman striving to be the perfect dancer. Any dancer worth their salt would not think twice of this exemplary structure. Lene should be proud.

Lene wants to be comfortable.

No ordinary man ever stops to consider the drawbacks of a dancer's perfect body. They only see a slender doll, a ballerina mannequin in the middle of an act. They have their fun, watching on (or cheering on, if they're very rowdy) and maybe throw some coin to try winding it up again for an encore performance. To them, Lene isn't the perfect body.

She's the perfect toy.

Now, is Lene proud of her body? Of course, it is the reason she is able to continue dancing, the hobby that she truly loves. But if she wants to keep at it, she has to keep her body in pristine condition.

No time for gorging out on the luxuries that her spectators feast on at inns, or the regulars will abandon their pudgy failure. No time for wrinkles to show on her face or arms; stamp them out with more makeup. No time for excessive breaks, or she risks her legs from giving in.

Lene feels secure about her body type, since she knows that giving it up will result in her doom. Does that mean that in the end, she's only insecure of her body?
