🍇  :    how would my muse describe their childhood?  how much has it impacted the person they are now,  or will become as an adult?  around what age did they or will they start to mature,  and why?  do they wish to go back to their days as a child,  or have they embraced adulthood?  

Well, Tiffin’s childhood was great until it wasn’t asuhdfasidhf There’s a very clear line of before and after the First War, and I think on her part whenever childhood is mentioned she would think only of the before, so she would remember it fondly, and would describe it as being good.

As a little girl growing up in Westfall, she had a great time. Westfall was considered an important part of the kingdom, considering it was called the ‘breadbasket’ of Stormwind and it is also important because of the mines. Nowadays it has yet to recover from all the shit that happened there, but when Tiffin was little, it was thriving. Being a noble child from the family who ruled there, she was in a pretty comfortable position; and because her family was minor nobility, ascended to it through wealth, she ended up growing up much less restrained by rules and traditions and such (that and she not always cared to abide them, I think). She got to be a child, and do childish things, to indulge her love for the outdoors, to play and interact with other kids, even those she wasn’t really supposed to befriend. Of course she had certain duties, had to attend lessons and all, but she had a lot of freedom and lived very comfortably, and it was a pretty good childhood.

Things change a lot when the Horde attacks. Westfall fell to the Horde before Stormwind and Redridge, and well, that changes everything. Her home is ruined, her brothers go to war and two of them end up dead, her mother is killed in one of the many times they had to escape orcs, because they are some of those who are left behind due to not reaching Lothar in time to flee to Lordaeron. For Tiffin herself, I think she would consider her childhood ended when this started, so it doesn’t really count --- because there was no more room for being childish when survival was at stake. I don’t remember how old she’d have been then but I think it was something around eleven? So technically you could consider her late childhood counts here but Tiffin personally would not. Regardless, it is undoubtedly when childhood had to be left behind and she had to assume more responsibilities.

I think that time influences her more heavily than what she would define as her childhood, because the deep changes and suffered losses and everything she saw up close and lived through left undeniable marks that made her grow into someone even more caring and kind than she may naturally have been. The freedom she had as a child and how prone she was to being around all sorts of people surely had some influence on her, though, because Tiffin certainly values freedom a great deal, and she sees everyone as valuable and important, no matter their background, and this is something that does shape how she acts as a queen.

I don’t think she longed to go back to those days, as an adult; at least not in the sense of actually going back. She would sometimes wish for simpler things, and less responsibility and things and people who were lost, but I think that’s more about longing for those things than for her actual childhood -- something she definitely did, for a time, but not a long time. Mostly she simply remembers her childhood fondly.

🥝  :    does my muse have any  ‘  unusual  ’  habits, interests,  and  /  or talents?  do they hide it,  or are they proud of it?  

Lor’themar doesn’t have anything really unusual as far as habits/interests/talents go? He’s basic and a lot of what he likes/is good at is related to the one thing he defines himself as the most, which is being a ranger. Even what isn’t tied to that I wouldn’t really describe as unusual? Regardless, any interests/habits/talents he has I don’t think he’d try to hide, but he wouldn’t really show it off either so knowing about it or not really only depends on how much you know him.
