Wild's inability to recognise taller people as a threat started when she was a child. Imagine a 5ft tall toddler completely unphased by a 38ft giant who is actively trying to scare her away as they bleed everywhere. Needless to say it didn't work and now she just sees angry tall people as a challenge to conquer rather than a threat. That and Wild regularly forgets she's small.

If you want a sure fire way to turn Wild on; pay attention to her servos. They're so sensitive with so many sensors and nerves all over that any attention to them at all will rile her up so easily. Do it right and you'll bring her to an overload without the use of anyone's interfacing array

Starscream and Wild either act like;

That married couple who hate each other; i.e If you were my husband I'd poison your energon, If you were my wife I'd eat it.

A girl and her gay bestie who talk about men and give each other spa treatments and bitch about people's incompetence while getting drunk.

Widows mourning their spouses while dressed like they're the ones who killed their husbands for the insurance money There is no in between and the pair continue to confuse Starscream's castle staff. @autobotstarscream

Not me having an epiphany at work and giving myself feels.

So Wild very rarely gets time off, theres always an emergency or someone calling in sick or needing help.

I can't help but think the reason she works so much, practically living in the hospital is because she's worried about leaving her staff; that something bad will happen.

A perfectly valid fear when the last time you left your hospital staff they got murdered in cold blood.

Seems PTSD has taken ahold without her realising.

When Wild was a sparkling and a little bitelet you could easily see the pupil and iris of her optics. You knew where she was looking and they were much more expressive. But as she grew that lens over the top grew more opaque, like a visor. She can still see as well as she ever could but the expressiveness of her optics and the readability of them just vanished. But now she always looks so serious with her resting bitch face. It probably doesn't help her look approachable or friendly; not the best thing you want to see in a medic despite it being an asset for her in the field of combat; making it much harder for her opponents to tell where she's looking. If you were to get close enough to her, really up in her face you'd be able to see the iris and pupil move behind the lens, see the expressiveness. Although its not recommended, you'll probably incur some wrath from the little femme.

Wild never used to be so stoic, grumpy and unfun.

In her youth she was such a mischievious little femme, always having fun; her anxiety almost non existant.

And then she lost her sire and her wings and that day it was like part of her freedom and spirit was torn away from her; insecurities began creeping their way in.

When she moved to Iacon this only got worse and the stoic facade started to become something she used at work.

But she'd still let loose; still have fun and let guard down.

Ironhide brought out that playful side of her even more; the pair of them forever getting into hijinks and silly situations.

When the war began and they got seperated; Wild's stoicness only grew, yet you could see her clinging to hope, still trying to remain fun and playful if not to reassure her clinic staff.

And then she lost Ironhide and its like her joy got ripped away from her very being.

Those icy walls grew and so did her frigidness.

She tries her best to maintain a good bedside manner while at work but towards other staff members she's gained a reputation for being the frigid doctor- and thats without them knowing about her outlying ability.  While shes a good teacher she's strict and keeps her cards close to her chest.

Wild doesn't know any different anymore; its like shes forgot how to have fun; how to relax and let her guard down. She's become so used to putting up that brave front and hiding her vulnerabilities that she's almost lost her youthful vigor.

Only those truely close enough to her may be able to crack through her icy desposition but even then it's such a rarity now. Maybe its her way of trying to protect herself from loss.

[frostbittenfemme]

Since everyone is talking about sexualities I thought it be an apt time to speak about my frosty femme's. Wild is demi-bisexual.

She's always had to form a close bond with others before 'other' feelings develop. Wild needs to be able to trust that person and feel safe if she's gonna let herself be completely vulnerable with that someone. So sorry to all ya'll who think you can take the femme for a wild ride without getting to know her; it isn't happening.

But this isn't to say she doesn't find people instantly attractive! Very often she finds others physically attractive instantly, but sometimes that's all that it is, unless you get close to her and then it'll bloom.

Wild is open to a relationship with anyone; mech, femme or non-binary, however they wish to identify. She does tend to lean more towards the preference of mechs though, but that's probably down to the fact she's only ever had sexual experience with a mech. Wild is very open minded though and open to trying new things!

She's also very sex positive, so once you do manage to melt your way into the frosty femme's spark, you best believe you'll be able to make her melt in other ways. ;)

do you like your name ? do you know its origins ? if you chose your name, what made you choose it ? if you didn’t choose it, would you change it if you could ?

7. if you were to hold someone’s hand while walking ( assuming you are okay with holding hands ) , how would you hold their hand ? loosely or tightly ? your whole hand, or just a few fingers ? would you swing your arms together as you walk ?

11. do you have a favourite genre of music ? do you enjoy listening to music ? do you listen to music to get your energy up or exercise ? do you listen to music to calm down or go to sleep ?

"I like both of my names, both my given and chosen name. My given name translates to Feral Snowstorm, I was named that way because I was found in the wild, making it snow. I chose the name of Wildrider, assuming my fighting name for the Pits of Kaon. I had to hide my powers so I couldn't go walking around with snow in my name." 7. "Depends on the mecha and how I'm feeling. But usually I have to hold on quite firmly, because they're probably taller than me and I would simply slip away if I didn't have a firm grasp. Although some days it's just best not to hold servos, those days I keep my servos away from anyone." 11. "Rock and heavy metal! I love listening to music, especially when in surgery or doing paperwork. Pretty sure my operating staff aren't fond of my playlist choices while cutting into patients."

I never talk about sparkling Wild so heres some things;

She's tiny, but she's so eager to learn.

She has very little control over her abilities, if she starts crying she will cause a snow storm - thats how her adoptive sire found her.

She's blue and purple but she has no flames.

Her optics are more visible, like you can see her pupils and exactly where she's looking, like the lense isn't as opaque as when she's an adult.

She's still rather shy, and would hide behind her sire because he is her safety blanket.

She has a habit of wandering off, purely because shes curious.

Has the tiniest of wings!

Gladiator Funeral Headcanon

So when a gladiator dies, their funeral always takes part in the evening after all the fights of the day are done. The funerals are like a grand party and completely private, only gladiators can attend. The mecha who has died (or more likely has been killed) is lay on a pyre.

In preparation their spark chamber is filled with a substance so that when the body is burnt the flames glow the same colour as the deceased spark.The deceased's weapons are also typically put onto the pyre with them unless the warrior has a family member wishes to keep them. However, family is a rarity for a gladiator.

A chosen mecha dresses in ceremonial garments; this is usually a fur pelt of some kind and painted symbols. Again in special circumstances this is a family member, but a good friend and comrade will suffice. This chosen person is the one who starts off the ceremonial singing, the other gladiators will join in on the singing and will bang on the armour of their frames and in some cases shields. However most of the music will be made with their voices. (think acapella, just more viking like)

Once the ceremonial song has finished, then the real party begins. Gladiators share food, alcohol, dance and share stories of the deceased and in some cases, Some gladiators may even take part in a group interfacing or casual fragging - It is a party after all. The funerals may be sad for some, however they are meant to celebrate the gladiators life and their victories in battle. For a gladiator, dying in battle is the most honourable way to die and ultimately when a gladiator dies, they are finally free. They no longer have to fight, which is something many of the warriors have been doing since they were first forged.

Outlier Abilities

Wild’s spark is severely mutated in comparison to normal sparks and even in comparison to other outliers. She is an outlier among outliers if you will. By the laws of cybertronian biology she shouldn’t even be alive.

Her spark temperature is -210 °C or -346°F, which is the lowest temperature liquid nitrogen can be before it becomes solid nitrogen. However, she can withstand even colder temperatures such as the vast coldness of space; -270°C  or - 455°F.  The colder the environment in which Wild is in, the stronger and more prominent her outlying ability  becomes.

Wild’s spark is so frigid that her spark chamber is filled with frost and ice crystals, adding an extra layer of protection from the warmth.

Wild has cryokinesis abilities; she’s able to manipulate and create ice and snow. How? No one knows, it’s even unknown to her. Wild’s working theory is that she manipulates water molecules in the atmosphere to form ice crystals. By doing this she can create adverse weather conditions, from the tiniest of snow flurries to the biggest of blizzards.

Wild’s EM field is abnormal, it feels large and intimidating and full of static, like a storm is brewing. It feels off and radiates unease to those who aren’t accustomed to it. At the centre of said EM field, for those few who know how to navigate it, they will find Wild’s true energy reading. It’s small, easy to miss and almost shy, yet it radiates care. Wild keeps her EM field to herself, to prevent the intimidation of others, especially her patients.

When Wild has strong emotions she can lose control of her outlying abilities very easily. Results vary depending on her mood and mental state at the time.  This can be something as small as a snow flurry appearing when she’s excited to something as lethal as a blizzard getting out of control.

When Wild uses her powers, whichever area her power appears from, it will start to glow light blue. Most the time her powers originate from her servos, however at her strongest her powers will originate from her spark, resulting in the whole of her chest glowing bright blue.

Wild can also create objects out of ice, like ice statues and can even alter them so they won’t melt like permafrost.

She’s still learning about her outlying ability even after all this time and she tries not to use it around others unless she absolutely has to or she deeply trusts the individuals to do so. There is a lot of fear and stigma around outliers and with Wild’s powers being so dangerous to Cybertronians there is an extra layer of fear.

Fear is the emotion affects Wild’s powers the most, it makes the forms of the ice more dangerous and unpredictable and Wild has yet to learn how to get it under control when fearful situations arise, it is at this point that her EM field registers the largest, she can’t keep it hidden and instead this will register with anyone in the vicinity of her.

Wild’s powers are highly dependent on her physical health, more specifically her temperature. If for some reason she is ill or in an environment that raises her temperature, she will become more and more lethargic as her temperature increases. Wild also uses a lot of fuel to keep herself cool so she needs to keep her energon levels up. The best way to do so is to utilise a supplemented energon. However if energon isn’t available she must consume large amounts of alternate appropriate fuel types, hence why she always has snacks on hand.

The fuel lines in Wild’s extremities utilise a counter current system. Any warm energon in her fuel lines traveling to her spark will be cooled down by the energon leaving her spark, preventing her from going into shock from the warm energon hitting her spark and heating it up too quickly.

Wild’s cooling systems will kick in as soon as her body detects her spark is no longer at a safe temperature. To aid the cooling down process Wild will take ice baths,  create a snow bank to sit in, or if available, put herself in a freezer until her temperature returns to a safe level.

When Wild’s spark temperature raises it’s painful and is similar to the human ailment of heartburn. The pain only gets worse as her temperature raises and if you listen close enough you can hear the ice within her spark chamber cracking as it melts. Wild’s fail safe for when her temperature raises is to submerge herself in a vat of liquid nitrogen. If this fails she needs liquid nitrogen to be injected directly into her spark.

In the event Wild’s spark reaches -180°C/-292°F  or warmer for a long period of time she is at great risk of entering a comatose state, eventually followed by death.

How did Wild first meet her Ironhide?

"Oh that was something that happened so very, very long ago.

I needed someone to repair the tools in my medkit. It'd been through so very very much wear and tear and it’s my original one so I wanted to keep it.

Charge, one of my co-workers recommended Ironhide to me so I paid him a visit. I remember being nervous stepping into his shop, I was trying my hardest not to cause any snow or frost.

Although, this only got harder once I actually met Ironhide. This big gruff, grumpy mech came into my sight and I almost caused a snow flurry right there and then. I didn't know it at the time, but that was love at first sight. I didn't believe in that, thought it was a bunch of scrap... and then I met Ironhide.

He did this smile, his damn smile, a lopsided grin and it made my spark do flips in its casing.  We talked for a little bit, just back and forthing about the repairs I needed done as we filled out a datapad.

I remember he had an injury on his servo, a burn on one of his digits. I just grabbed a hold to take a closer look without even thinking, both of my servos on just one of his. Servos that were calloused and rough from years of hard work,  yet so gentle at the same time.

We just kind of stood there for a few moment, me looking at his injury, him staring at me. Time just simply.. froze.

For ages I simply forgot I was holding his servo. I told him he needed to get his injury looked at by a professional, we exchanged our communication details and then I left.

I had to go hide myself down an alleyway so I could get my powers back under control. I didn’t know it then, but I had just met the love of my life, my conjunx."

[frostbittenfemme]

(Does Wild collect anything? If so, what is the collection and why does she keep it?)

She does collect stuff! She collects snowglobes! Annabelle Lennox bought her a snow globe for her first Christmas on Earth and ever since she's been gifted one every year. She thinks they are really cute decorations. After having to cut contact with humans they hold fond memories of her time on Earth. They're bittersweet now.

9, 12, and 19?

9. What plans does your muse have for the future?

Wild has a couple of plans. She has plans to teach the new generation of medics and help them unlock their potential as they become qualified.

Her other plan is to eventually become a carrier and maybe even adopt some sparklings. She thinks its time she settles down although she knows that road won't be an easy one to go down.

12.What type of music does your muse enjoy listening to?

Wild loves Earth's rock and heavy metal music. Whether its a soft rock ballad or something so loud and heavy she can feel it in her frame. The louder the music is the better. She'll also jam out to some Pop music but heavy metal and rock will be her her musical love.

19.How does your muse sit? Do they take up space, or keep to themselves? Already answered here

[frostbittenfemme]

Everyone on about their arguements with others meanwhile when Wild and Ironhide fight they beat the shit out of eachother and have fun doing so.

They do love eachother very much. But also fighting yes.

Post sparring frags though

[frostbittenfemme]

So none of Wild's medical equipment is intergrated into her frame unlike other medics.

She brings her medkit practically everywhere and it is always stocked up.

She has used the same medkit since she was a student medic. Practically all of the tools are the originals that have been repaired over time. The exception being the needles she uses for stitches. Those are replaced frequently as they wear down and dull quickly.

The box itself, that holds all the gear, was a gift from her sire; Lightning Strike, for getting into medical school.
