[askpinkietai]

Well, it's 3 AM, I'm bored, and I just finished re-reading that Ninja Turtles hardcover I got for Christmas. Or for New Year's Eve, depending on your perspective. And I still got a lot of feelings about it, so rather than watch one of those DVDs I also got, let's talk about it for a while! Maybe it's just coz over on the other blog, we've been reviewing Countdown for, like, eight months and maybe I wanna talk about a comic I enjoy for a bit. Maybe it's even less deep than that, I dunno~

The Backstory Let's start with some background info, so we know how we got here. Like, this is volume 14 and collects issues #101 to #112. You might've missed a few things in that time if you weren't following it~

So in this continuity, both the turtles and Splinter were all part of a lab experiment, which I think was run by Baxter Stockman's company. April O'Neil was a college graduate science intern intering for science at the company, and ends up giving the Turtles their names. As it goes, a couple of Foot Clan ninjas break in one night and attempt to steal the Turtles and some other science stuff, including a mutagenic compound they were analysing (not creating, but more trying to reverse-engineer). Splinter, who was also experimented on with some super-intelligence formula, helps April escape, and they rescue the stolen reptiles and equipment, but ultimately lose it down a sewer. Naturally, the smashed container ends up mutating both turtles and rat alike, as well as a nearby mean ol' alleycat named Old Hob, who will be important later, especially for this particular arc.

So how does the Hamato Yoshi part fit into this backstory? Well, it turns out that Splinter and the Turtles are, in addition to mutants, are also the reincarnation of the souls of Hamato Yoshi and his four sons, who were all killed back in feudal-era Japan by the Shredder (AKA Oroku Saki). So the Turtles aren't merely his adopted sons in this version, but literally his actual sons. This gives them a really strong familial connection. Shredder ends up living all the way to modern times (which was the 2010s at the time of publication) due to magic or something, and once the Hamato Clan reincarnate into their mutant forms, the vendetta between their ninja clans begins all over again.

So, long story short, around issue #50, Shredder was killed off, and Splinter ends up taking over the Foot Clan. While in charge, he largely tries to make things better in New York, but he is still governing a body of trained assassins to use against other criminals. He eventually starts slipping into some dark and sketchy methods in his pursuit of peace (particularly, having a rival criminal gang leader executed when he won't surrender), and the Turtles abandon their father over disagreements with this. While they try to work out supporting themselves on their own, Splinter turns his attention to one of his inner guards, Jennika. Jennika, who was mostly a bloodthirsty thug, starts growing as a person and learning from Splinter.

I am not shortening this long story enough, but eventually the following things happen: Jennika ends up attacked, and gets mutated into a fifth Turtle in order to save her life. Shredder went to hell and eventually resurrected, becoming a better person in the process, losing his hatred towards Hamato Yoshi. Kitsune, the magical fox deity and Shredder's love interest, tries to resurrect her own father, the Dragon, but ultimately fails due to intervention from Shredder and Splinter, which leads to the latter's death. And remember Old Hob? In the meantime since his mutation, he eventually became an anti-human terrorist and started this version of the Mighty Mutanimals, basically becoming yet another faction the Turtles have to worry about. Hob uses a stockpile of mutagen he's acquired to set off a dirty bomb in downtown New York, causing all those exposed to it to mutate. And that's where we pick up! The Turtles have lost their father (and Jennika her mentor), while a significant section of New York have become furries against their will.

The Mutant Town arc Or at least the beginning of it! That's what this volume is about. Now that I've exposited for, like, four paragraphs, let's talk about the book I actually want to talk about for a bit~

So the main reason why I like this story arc in short (and I mean actually short this time), is that it's largely about character interaction. It's very emotionally driven, which is fitting coming off the previous arc that was very action-driven. Obviously there's still some cool action and fights, it's still a NInja Turtles series after all. But the stuff I end up enjoying most is the character-based stories that develop them as characters. It's very quiet and low key, more slice-of-life. It eventually ramps up again for future story arcs, but it's a very nice break here.

So the Turtles (Jennika included; from here on out, you should probably assume I'm including her as one of the Turtles unless I'm referring to them separately) have just buried their father/mentor, up at the Northhampton farm (the previous setting of another low-key story arc following an intense action storyline that I like a whole lot). Raphael, ever the brooding loner, ends up leaving and taking up a vigilante role as the Nightwatcher back in the city, and Jennika often travels back and forth between the farm and the city, usually dropping in at Alopex's shelter. The remaining three Turtles are tryiing to process their grief in their own ways: Donatello takes to writing science fiction and is dealing with it the best, Leonardo starts gardening and steps away from the leader role for a time, and Michelangelo takes it the hardest and mostly spends his time withdrawn in his own room with his new cat, Klunk. And six months pass like this until the story actually starts!

So, speaking of the city, in the meantime since the mutagen bomb incident, Baxter Stockman has become mayor of New York City. He quarantines the area affected by the blast, literally walling off part of the city to isolate the mutants, who don't even have access to electricity or plumbing and are surviving on poorly-distributed rations of food. It reminds me a lot of the Batman storyline No Man's Land, on a slightly smaller scale. Also similarly to that, nobody is being allowed in or out of what's been dubbed "Mutant Town", with the non-mutated humans even having been evacuated, breaking up several families.

Eventually, the Turtles all get together and have a heart-to-heart, with even Raph realising his loner shtick is being kind of hard on his brothers right now. The lot of them all together finally move out of the farmhouse and decide to start a new life in Mutant Town, with Leo opening a dojo to honour Master Splinter and pass on his teachings, deciding not to continue the Hamato Clan, instead starting the Splinter Clan with his brothers, Jennika, and their ally Alopex, who is officially made a member of their family at this point. Likewise, Donatello starts restoring some of the basic amenities around Mutant Town, getting the electricity and plumbing working in personal residences, to a grateful public.

The Alopex tangent Let's talk about my favourite character, Alopex! That's her up on the cover up there. Very fitting that my favourite character ends up gracing the cover of my favourite volume of the story. She initially started as just another mutant thug of the Foot Clan, albiet a more cunning and stealthy one than Bebop and Rocksteady. But she developed pretty early, even getting an issue of the Villains Microseries all to herself, revealing her origins as a test animal and planting the seeds of her eventual hatred of and defection from the Foot Clan. However, it took her a while longer to fully do a heel-face turn, since she was partially being mind-manipulated by Kitsune. She also gets a lot of ship-teasign with Raphael, even eventually sharing a kiss with him in this story arc.

So when this story arc starts up, like I mentioned, Alopex is running a shelter/soup kitchen in Mutant Town (which really shows how far she's come and to contrast her with Raphael, who frequently stops in for food but not friendly conversation, leading her to tease him about being a broody asshole). Eventually the shelter gets wrecked up in a scuffle with Hob's latest plan for the Mutanimals: not a new super-soldier, though he does have a bunch of Enforcers walking the streets and "keeping the peace". No, instead, he tries selling some literal children to the Foot Clan to raise as soldiers. They're partially feral weasel children, to be fair, but they're still innocent kids. The weasel kids bond with their rescuers (Alopex and Jennika) as well as another mutant orphan, an albino turtle named Lita. Al, Jenn, and Raph make it clear to Hob that trafficking kids is not okay, and even one of his major supporters, one of the original Mutanimals gang, the lioness Sally Pride, ends up ditching him in disgust over this.

Once the rest of the Turtles turn up, they help rebuild the shelter, partially turning it into their dojo, and officially inducting Alopex into their clan, like I mentioned. She even gets a mask like the other five, one in green. It's extremely heartwarming. This is the same issue she shares a kiss with Raph for the first time, too. In fact, lemme talk about that issue in particular, because I think #105 might be my favourite in the entire run.

(Also she's an arctic fox, with big fluffy hips and an even bigger, fluffier tail, and the artists often make her extremely cute, which are all just bonus reasons why she's my favourite~)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (IDW, 2011) #105

Well, one of the things about Mutant Town is that just because everybody mutated and they got quarantined into a ghetto town doesn't mean that culture stopped. A surprising number of these mutants are musicians (mutanticians, if you will), and have opened their own rock club, which the Turtles and friends are attending. Jennika turns out to have been a metalhead in her pre-Foot Clan youth, and Mikey, Leo, and Don all enjoy it. Raph and Alopex duck out early, with the music just being too loud for Alopex and not to Raph's taste. She teases him for a bit, thinking he'd be way into loud and angsty stuff, which eventually leads to their first kiss. Like, I'm not normally the shipping type, but seeing characters get together naturally in canon often brings a flutter to my heart~

In a nice note, up on top of the roof, a couple of the Foot Clan's other mutants, Koya the falcon and Bludgeon the hammerhead, watch them from above. While Koya kind of likes the music, she thinks they ought to take advantage of the distraction and attack the mutant pair. Bludgeon, on the other hand, is very peaceful and zen-like for a shark, and tells Koya to leave them alone and respect their young love. I don't think anyone ever knows Koya and Bludgeon were even there after this.

Speaking of antagonists, after the show, some of the Turtles are chatting with the band backstage, with Jennika getting some ship-tease with the pig girl vocalist, Sheena. Meanwhile, a couple of thugs (Puggle and Bandit) who were the opening minor antagonists in the storyline earlier, come up to hassle the Turtles some more. However, when Mikey tells them to back off because this is the first music club he's ever gotten to go to, the pair of them soften instantly, opting not to ruin Mikey's night.

This is probably why I like this issue so much. Two different pairs of foes, through no other motivation but their own somewhat-buried kindheartedness, decide to give the heroes a break and enjoy their night. It's cheesy, but it really works. The heroes needed this, and the narrative respects it. It makes me smile~

Speaking of making me smile, the group returns home and they go through the ritual where they officially induct Alopex into the Splinter Clan, giving her a green mask to match theirs. It's genuinely a wonderful moment to show how far the character has come, both in development and in the eyes of the characters in the comic. All this serves to illustrate their new path in their lives.

The rest of the issue features the Turtles going about their daily lives. Leo is teaching a martial arts class in the newly opened dojo. Donnie and Mona Lisa (I'm gonna talk all about her in another section, don't worry!) finally manage to hook up the electricity, restoring the lights to their domicile. Mikey does the cooking, preparing a meal for the Weasel Kids, asking them to not steal his cat's food anymore. They promise. The group all go to sleep that night--only for Raphael to get woken up early from Jennika's guitar-playing. After talking with Sheena, she's decided to take up the instrument again, relearning how to play with stubby three-fingered turtle hands.

The last part of the issue is another of Leo's classes, showing the Turtles teaching more than just martial arts, they also include things like plant care and calligraphy. But still, one of the classes leads to other kids picking on young Lita for being somewhat clumsy, because even mutant kids will still be kids. Lita runs off, and Jennika follows her to give her a pep talk and comfort her. She's very confident that Lita's going to grow up to be something wonderful and make them all proud. And the comic ends with a tease for a future storyline, where a magic portal opens up at the Northhampton farmhouse, with an adult Lita stepping out with a smile on her face. Don't worry about it, it's not relevant to this volume~

And if that's not enough to convince you why it's my favourite issue, look at some of these background characters:

And speaking of cute characters...

This here is Mona Lisa~! 🎶 So this story arc also introduces this continuity's version of fan-favourite Mona Lisa. So in this version, she's still a college student, and is one of the victims of Hob's mutagen bomb, turning her into a salamander mutant. She ends up meeting the Turtles when she gets caught by those aforementioned thugs, Puggle the platypus and Bandit the raccoon. They're small-time goons working for Hob's Mutanimals Enforcers, who are in charge of the food distribution packages the government sends in. Naturally, a shitty guy like Hob isn't rationing things well, so Mona takes it upon herself to steal as much as she can carry, so she can donate it to Alopex's soup kitchen.

This makes her immediately likeable, showing her as daring to be a badass for heroic reasons despite her lack of combat prowess. Fortunately, Jennika's nearby, and she steps in to chase off Puggle and Bandit, as well as Diamond, a much more vicious porcupine Enforcer. They strike up a friendship, and Mona becomes a secondary character for the rest of the Mutant Town storyline. She's much more than a one-off character like her original version.

Speaking of, if you know about Mona, you might also know she was being set-up as Raphael's love interest in that original cartoon episode. But in this series, Raph and Alopex are the ones strongly being paired off. So instead, Mona ends up getting ship-teased with Donatello for a time, based on their mutual intellectualism. She's actually a physics student, but she does help him restore the electricity. Alas, though, their relationship kind of comes to a stall when she finds out he's not and has never been human, and is technically only a couple years old, at least as far as being a sentient being goes. It's a bit much for her.

And normally, you might not think that'd be a deal-breaker for some people, but this was on top of one of the most heartbreaking moments of the storyline. So, like I said, Mona was a college student, and has been trying to contact her folks the whole storyline. She and Donnie finally get the internet hooked up, and Mona calls her parents. They've heard about the mutagen bomb on the news, worried she'd been caught in it. She gets them to start a video call, starts explaining how she's a salamander now--but her parents scream upon seeing her and immediately hang up. As it dawns on her how she's just been rejected by her family and starts to cry, you really want to give the poor girl a hug. And fortunately for her, Sally Pride was just on the way by for a visit, able to lend our amphibious friend some comfort.

So yeah, all that and then finding the guy she's been mildly interested in isn't a mutated human like she is, it's a bit much. So this is part of Mona's further development, and it's not a bad development. She ends up attending a group therapy class (headed by that possum/mouse lady pictured above) for mutant humans, which breaks down over discussion of how much the Mutanimals are doing for them. But she doesn't go full anarchy. She does become more politically motivated, but what she's really interested in is helping set up an official governing body to support mutants' rights. That's where she spends most of the rest of the series, helping Sally Pride campaign to be Mutant Town's mayor, picketing to support mutant rights, and making sure no one treats her shitty ever again.

Okay, I've been ranting on this for, like, three hours now, and it's probably a longer read than the story arc itself! I really just hope you can see how this all shapes up into what I really liked about it. Like, don't get me wrong, I honestly liked the whole run of comics, and I wanna get more volumes in the future. But this whole storyline just really made me want to gush, and if you got all the way here, maybe you also can understand why~

BN09 Draconic Spirit

Prompt:

By all technicality Katsuki was quirkless. Fait had put him in a body with that extra little toe joint but no one ever noticed. Since they never had a reason to look. Like everyone else in his grade he gained a “quirk” at five years old but what everyone saw as a quirk Katsuki knew it was just the draconic spirit of his past life manifesting in his present form. 

He was the dragon lord of destruction and had a massive army of dragons at his command. It was a ruthless show of power to get there; he had to subdue rival dragons, kill nefarious wyverns, and fight off those who wished to use dragons for their own selfish reasons instead of keeping the wellbeing of the clan in mind.  

Yet through all of that he was still forced into war as the humans sought to purge the world of magic. Unfortunately, through hypocrisy, the humans won then turned on their own magic users to finish the job. 

But before that the dragons were the main opponent against the humans. Katsuki would never just lay down and let his lands be taken and fellow dragons slaughtered. He joined forces with a magicless Druid who had eventually forged his own power through grit and determination. It was hard for the dragon lord not to fall for such a determined creature. Although they first entered into a reluctant alliance the two died with an unbreakable bond. One that would follow them into the next life. 

Dragon souls are too strong, too unyielding to be reincarnated easily. Fate had to wait for the right conditions, the right body to hold such a beast’s soul and with dragons extinct that took centuries. 

Until, finally, the first quirk manifested. 

And the conditions were favorable. 

Humans had evolved and with bodies able to contain strong physical abilities it was just enough for a dragon soul to be comfortably contained. 

But again, dragons were troublesome there was a reason they were reincarnated and that was because they refused to forget their past lives. Their memories were etched into their very souls.

Druids on the other hand were free spirits that went from one life to the next. There was no afterlife for them, only the next life to come. So in death the dragon chased after and the Druid wouldn’t leave his love behind so they drifted through the void until both of the souls could find a new life. 

The memories came in dreams. But only for the dragon now named Katsuki since Druids didn’t gain their memories back. 

Katsuki’s powers lay dormant until they partly came through as explosions from his hands. Even then his body would never be able to handle the full transformation so it would remain repressed. 

Other instincts not so much. 

He was aggressive, possessive, and kept many of the traits of his past life to his parents dismay. 

He hated sleeping on a bed and would instead create a nest of toys and objects to lay on in the corner. But that was not suitable for his current body and eventually he settled with a nest of pillows, blankets, and soft plushies with his other toys lining the outside. He was forced to clean it up each morning until eventually he was smart enough to hide a smaller version in his closet. The closet was more suitable anyways he just had to wake up before his parents got him up and found him there. 

His need to hunt appeared every time he spotted a small animal but after the first time he caught and almost killed a bird his parents put their foot down. He never heard his father yell at him before. When asked why he did it he told them he was hungry and it wasn’t much different then chicken. 

His actions were dragon-like and so were his customs but he was smart and as he grew up fought most of his instincts in a world where they were considered weird. 

He hardly cared, he only did it because it was convenient. 

But it was nice that he didn’t have to try too hard around Izuku. His Deku. (Deku could mean druid in dragon tongue?)

He relived his memories mostly through dreams but at times in waking hours he would see things that triggered flashbacks. 

One of those moments was when he fell into the stream. 

Looking up at the green hair blending into the leafy trees above, and a worried looking boy stared down at him with his hand out.. That was when Katsuki saw his Deku. 

In a past life they met when they were older. And he saw that looking up at Deku. The memory overlapped and for a moment he was sitting on the ground next to a dying fire with Deku holding his hand out “come on the wisps are about to wake up” he grinned. “I don’t want you to miss them” 

“Are you ok?” Five year old Deku asked as he interrupted. “Did you hit your head?” He sounded worried, because of course he did. It was Deku

Katsuki grinned sharply as he suddenly sprung from the water tackling Izuku in a hug causing them to fall against the bank. He didn’t fully understand the feeling he felt at that age, but they were young and he would grow into them. For now all he knew was that Deku was a very important person to him. 

From then on they were inseparable. And Katsuki told him everything he could remember. Each time a new memory popped up he’d tell the other boy. 

At recess they would play pretend. Instead of hero’s and villain is was dragons and sorcery though they still beat villains and they still were the good guys. 

Bakugo still looked up to All Might, seeing him as an equivalent of a dragon lord and wanting to take his place one day. Be the best protector. That’s what it meant to be a dragon lord. To protect and lead those under him.

-

Eventually when he’s in UA he gets to release some of his draconic powers and everyone in the class (or most) see (at the USJ incident? Before All Might wins? Fouled by the immense urge to protect Izuku.) a ghostly form of a dragon covers Katsuki like a cloak as he goes head to head with the Nomu and wins 

“You should heed my words weaklings, I AM the dragon lord!”

They finally let him have the name Dragon Lord of Destruction as his hero name.

This is a lovely blend between the medieval MHA and the modern MHA. I have this fun little head canon that the humans of this world are not purely humans anymore and that quirks come from fay magic from the fay who were smart enough to integrate themselves into human society when the magic war stated. It just took awhile for the magic to resurface. Could explain why Bakugo’s hatred for humans doesn't translate into this new life... because they aren't technically humans.

[mandakatt]

My OC’s.

So! Here’s my grouping of OC’s that I am currently active with. [I have many others that I haven’t put here such as Voltron, Star Wars, and Dragon age cause all those Rp’s are on hold. =p I refuse to grow up, what can I say?]

So! For some of these characters I have artwork, some I don’t so the ones that don’t their description will be much longer.  [All art is © their original creators! I’ll link them/tag them in the descriptions.]

Mandakatt  [Ref sheet art by: @sbneko​ ]  - My OC that I use in the Furry Fandom. Yes. I’m one of those kinda dudes. Heh, but not in the way that’s usually associated with the stereotypes of the fandom. I’ve been in this fandom since about 2002 I think, but I’m starting to kinda fade away from it. So, she’s changing into what you see for my avatar here on tumblr. [Art by: DamnEvilDog - I miss you bubba.] - Out of all my OC’s she’s the closest to me in personality, and such. So just a fancy version of yours truly. XD

Kai - [Art © @sbneko ] Mandakatt’s sister. I created her as a joke cause everyone kept calling Mandakatt a Koi-Cat. So, here you go. Kai is older, and more mature than her sister, however, she is a derp, and will at times, when she’s nervous, grab her flowly showa tail and nibble on it, claiming she is her own sushi. She’s like the mom side of my personality. 

Amari Mao - Shrine Maiden [ More Art! ]  [ Art by: @tomochii-chan​ and @mageheart​ ] From the SLBP Universe. - She came about from a story that I had started to write involving the Date Clan. I don’t know if this story will ever see the light of day because I feel that I’m way too OOC with the lords. Her personality is Bubbly, Outgoing and she’s typically full of smiles and curiosity about the world. She’s a wandering Miko, so she’ll do rituals for those that ask. She carries a simple wakizashi vertically on the small of her back, her skills with it are above average for those that are used to sword fighting, she’s an expert with a long bow.  The scar over her left eye that stops at her cheek came about when someone tried to rob her on the road, and they got too close - she’s not completely blind her her left eye, she can see movements and shapes, but nothing in full clarity.

Major - My Overwatch Reader insert character. -  You were adopted as a young child into a Japanese family that lived in America, keeping your birth last name. You know some respectful phrases in Japanese but cannot speak it fluently. You reached the rank of Major [O-4] as a US Marine till you were ‘Honorably discharged due to injury during training.’  You are the bodyguard of Yumi. You are almost blind in your left eye. - Wanna know more? I am gonna be cheeky and go - Go read it. XD

Mao - Final Fantasy XV 

“There’s nothing special to me, I’m just trying to pull my weight in the world.”

Height: 5 foot 2/158cm 

Body type:  Tone, but she carries a bit of extra weight making her slightly curvy. 

Hair Color: Brown - and long. When worn in a high ponytail it rests at her shoulder blades, she has a distinct braid behind her right ear, crystal beads adorn it at the end, the braid itself is long enough to rest on her shoulder.  When she’s not out hunting, these beads get put onto a silver chain and worn around her neck. The beads were a gift from her mother.

Eye Color: Dark brown.  

Scars: Long scars that start on her right cheek, one on top of the other,  and travel down the side of her neck. When she takes off her coat the scars are noticeable on her shoulder. The scars go down over her shoulder and across her side and stops in the middle of her back. She was pounced by a Voretooth trying to save her mom. It didn’t go well.

Outfit: Black boots, dark grey cargo pants, a thick black leather belt, a grey sleeveless t-shirt, and a long dark red overcoat that rests at the back of her calves. She keeps two daggers sheathed at the small of her back, so her weapons are always in plain sight yet never seen. 

Weapons: Dual daggers  �� Her mother's, they’re slim and simple looking, will be somewhat distraught if she ever loses them.  She is also quite proficient with short swords, carries two across her back - will only bring these as her ‘heavy hitters’.

Skills: She’s an excellent tracker - all those years hunting by herself - and can track both humans, and animals.  She’s quite quick, and knows hand to hand combat as well, never underestimate her, as she will use her size and speed to her advantage to put you into some form of a hold, or punch your lights out if you deserve it..  For example, she’s been seen sprinting around a Spiracorn to jump up on it’s back, rush up it’s neck and stab it in the eyes. She know’s it’s reckless, and will usually only do such things out of desperation,or showing off.

Personality: She comes across as friendly, and flirty to anyone and everyone, however, she can come across being very forward, or brash, and can also come across very stubborn and sarcastic. She’s a bit of a hot head at times, but will backpedal with someone if they call her out on her shit. 

Bio: She grew up on the outlands of Lucis, with her mother. Life wasn’t easy, but she learned to track, and hunt from her mom. She was in her teens when her mom died of an “illness” near Lachyrte Haven, close to Galdin Quay.  She grows melancholy every time she has to use this haven for this reason, and after leaving the area, she’ll perk back up. 

She can be heard muttering the words “For hearth and home.” when she’s finished with a battle, as if she’s reassuring herself she’s still alive, and what she’s alive for. If she’s hunting beasts, she can be seen resting her hand on the downed animals side, thanking it for it’s life.  

She’s gone on hunts for, and with The Marshal, and will admit she has got quite the crush on Cor, if you get friendly enough with her for her to admit it. She blames this crush on the fact that he’s so kept to himself. And he’s a mystery. 

She met the bros in passing once at Hammerhead, curious about their entourage, and hearing them pick up a hunt, decided to tag along, from a distance, and tracked the bros through the wilderness - not that it was all that hard to do, and helped them out of an MT ambush.  She offered to track the beasts they were hunting after that, and has gone along with them on their other adventures. She, at first, will admit, she didn’t know that Noctis was the Crown Prince, and that the others were his Crownsguard, which Noctis appreciates as she treats him like any other hunter, and not what his title entails. Though she will lay her life down for him and his group, much to his dismay. 

She has no shame what. so. ever.  And enjoys the flirting banter she has with the boys. The more she gets Prompto to blush, or Noct to roll his eyes, and become more quiet and awkward, the better. She’s out to get Ignis to lose his composure, and Gladio and her flirt like crazy, probably doing so just to get Noct and Prompto to cringe, however she’ll always put him in his place with a witty comment. 

She’s come to love the boys equally, and fears one day that they may ask her to choose one of them. She knows that she couldn’t do it, and as much as it would pain her, she’d rather slip away one night, and leave them, then cause a rift between the banter she has with them, as selfish as this may be. She would be ecstatic if she could make it into a huge poly relationship, but she knows the Astrals are cruel in their ways, and wouldn’t let her have such a thing, so she remains as that close, flirty friend.

She adores Iris, and Talcott and acts like their older sister, and don’t let her find out you were bad mouthing or bullying either of these pure souls. She will end you. When the 10 years of darkness happens, much to Gladio’s discontent, she teaches both Iris, and Talcott how to defend themselves and hunt. Staying by their sides through the whole ordeal, giving Gladio truly, one less thing to worry over, as he knows she’d let nothing happen to either Iris, or Talcott.

She has an affinity to domestic animals, where stray cats and dogs just seem to follow her, and it has not been unheard of to have her pocket meow in the middle of a conversation, and a small kitten pops it’s head out of her chest coat pocket.
