Hello Mo!

For the OC Emoji ask…

😨 FEARFUL: for Emmaera

🥞 PANCAKE for Salshira

🌱 SEEDLING for Maria

✂️ SCISSORS for Elowen

Hey, Arja! Thanks for the ask c:

(OC Emoji Ask List)

😨 FEARFUL - when scared, do they go into "flight" or "fight"?

Oooh, depends on the situation! When startled, Emma defaults to fight, but when faced with slow-creeping dread, she tends to bolt.

🥞 PANCAKE - what is their comfort breakfast?

Scones and jam or maple glaze. Salshira has a sweet tooth and really good, flaky scones balance heavy and light breakfasts for her. She loves maple in general and is happy to cover lots of things in maple syrup (but especially scones).

🌱 SEEDLING - what is their most vivid memory from childhood?

Sitting on her father's lap while he read to her. When she was very little, it felt like the biggest thing in the world just to turn the pages for him.

✂️ SCISSORS - what is the "last straw" for them to cut someone out of their life? how easily do they let go of people?

Oooooh so this is an interesting one because Elowen is a lot more prone to assuming that she has been cut out of someone's life than she is likely to set that boundary herself. I think it would have to be something pretty clear-cut, like supporting the purge of an alienage or the annulment of a Circle. She's sensitive to feeling like she's being manipulated or used, so that would do it, too. She agonizes over letting people go, and it would be hard for her to decide to do it even if there was a pressing and obvious reason for it.
