#i didnt talk as much abt aster mostly bc i would spoil so much if i did

[shadowsofthegun-if]

I AM ASKING FOR THAT FUN FACTS

hehe okay these are literally in no order

Asters nose is slightly crooked from when Blessing broke it

Blessing does gamble a good bit but they are very sure they dont have a problem they might have a slight problem

Blessing looks a lot like their mother

Harrison has a bit of a drinking problem but hes been very good at hiding it

Jesse and Adrian used to say they were going out hunting for camp but really they were just going to relax at whatever lake was closest

Jesse loves swimming

Blessing doesnt hate swimming but they prefer to avoid lakes whenever they can

Ro has a dream of living on the beach and being able to see the ocean everyday

Blessing and Ro used to sneak off to a meadow and make plans to take a trip down to the coast

Blessing is the one who teaches Ro to swim

Ro is the one who teaches Blessing to properly play the guitar

Ro has a very nice singing voice like their Father

Ro really likes Blessings voice especially their singing voice

Ro does pressure Blessing into singing whenever they can

Anytime Blessing sings its always one of the songs theyve heard from Jesse

Blessing teaches Ros brother Alejandro how to gamble

Ros family is the mirror opposite to Blessings even made sure they had the same amount of siblings

Im a big fan of symbolism so each character has an animal, flower, color, and bird assigned to them in my notes

they also have a season of the year but those are more broad

everyones birthday was a bit more broad in choice but i still picked days that felt right

Almost every characters name was very specially chosen

They also all have middle names

Jesse and Adrians relationship is very much inspired by Lucy Grey Baird and Coriolanus Snow in The Ballad of Song Birds and Snakes

This wasnt even on purpose but Ro and Blessings relationship is a lot like Ellie and Dina from The Last of Us Part II

Asters color is yellow<3

Blessing and Aster used to get into a lot of arguments when they were younger and they'd physically fight a lot

Harrison and Jesse don't know that Aster is part of Adrians gang

Adrian doesnt even know that Blesing exist and he doesnt meet them till theyre 19

Aster is a very good artist and they sketch a lot of plants and landscapes

I've always felt that Blessing is the type of person always up in a tree

Aster and Blessing used to sit in trees and share whatever meal they had after they practiced shooting

Aster and Blessing learnt to shoot together

Blessing is the better shot

Okay im going to stop there but im still very tempted to share the chapter titles. They're not very spoilerly or anything i just like them a lot
