OC Interaction Tag Game

This tag game involves both my OC and the person that tagged me. I'm supposed to include their description, a description of my OC, then write how I think they'd interact. Seems fun. Thanks to @queen-tashie for picking me!

Previous OC description:

Runnicka is in her early fifties, considered a young adult in elven lifetimes, who lives in a small communal village in the forest. Both her parents and most of her family are presumed dead from the wars decades ago, and she was raised by a caretaker whom she chooses to continue living with. She's in training to become a ranger, and on top of the mentorship with the village elder, she also joins her best friend on hunting trips to practice archery and tracking. Though she's not very good at casting it, she can use fire magic (more as a deterrent than an actual attack). She loves the people in her life fiercely, and would do anything to protect them. Runnicka struggles with ADHD impulses, and she's strongly motivated by revenge. This often fuels her rivalry with her friend (who happens to be a slightly better swordsman than her).

My OC description:

Beela is in their early twenties, battling anxiety and depression without their knowledge. They can use magic, called Aia in this world, but not much. Sure, they can teleport and read any language, but simpler spells escape them. They have a problem with self confidence and will fold when pushed more often than they'd like. Their parents were distant and there were no siblings or other family to lean on, so Beela's determined to support themself--with debatable success. Their hobbies are mostly reading and taking care of succulents.

The interaction:

I can see this going a number of ways, mostly depending on how Runnicka approaches Beela. Anything aggressive or assertive will have Beela pulling hard into their shell. That said, if she approaches gently, Beela could have a bunch of fun with her. Seeing "revenge" up there makes me think they could bond over something of that nature. Beela's not naturally vengeance-prone, but the plot of their book does involve taking down an overlord because it was the only way to go home, where they desperately want to see their cat again.

I'm gonna tag @albatris and @shepardsherd

The older I get the more I admire people who are earnestly, genuinely into whatever their thing is. I know it sounds like an annoying cliche but unless you're being cruel or hurtful there is really no need to be normal about things. The dude with the bad fake accent at the renaissance faire is having the time of his life. The people having photoshoots with their fashion dolls are loving it. The old lady with a yard unreasonably full of tacky ass lawn ornaments is having a blast, HOA be damned.

Don't waste your time being too cool to have fun, y'know?

Really says something about the dire state of offerings for men interested in sewing their own clothes that even searching things like "interesting men's clothing patterns" brings up articles with links to four or five whole websites that primarily offer admittedly nice but practically identical patterns for making button-ups and work pants and maybe a varsity/bomber jacket if you're lucky.

(Branching out into historical costuming for everyday wear is like your one shot at variation, and even then, the ratio of men's to women's patterns on every website is frustrating to say the least.)

Patternmakers as a trans man I am begging you. Give me a little more to work with here.

academic bias is so funny because you’ll be reading about the same historical event and one person is like “Despite the troubles that befell his homeland and near constant criticism of the court King Blorbo remained strong in the face of adversity” and the other one is like “after letting his people carry the brunt of his cringefail decisions Blorbo the Shitface refused to listen to any reason and continued to be a warmongering piece of shit. Also he was ugly.”
