I can't stop thinking about the relationship between characteristics and faunus types. Given we know next to nothing about faunus biology and how it may differ from human, are these traits regular genetics or symbolic like semblances (sometimes) are?

Is Adam stubborn because he's a bull faunus or is he a bull faunus because he's stubborn? Is Blake agile and dexterous because that's how cats are or just how she is? Is Velvet easy prey for bullies because she's naturally shy or do her rabbit instincts make her so? Does Sun love bananas because they're a delicious source of potassium or because he's a monkey boy?

To what extent are faunus influenced by their animal side?

#rwde #this Thing seemed to taper off after v3 which is why im not using the bellaparents or ilia as examples #but its been on my mind for a while. mainly bc adam being bull like goes completely at odds w that scene w blake in the adam short #bulls aint exactly known for their emotional manipulation tactics. even ones as transparent and heavy handed as that #its so weird how shawluna will lean into the animal traits for a joke but never really address it anywhere else #and according to after the fall using animal sayings around a faunus of that type is racist which... idk man #im not sure how saying 'when pigs fly' around a pig faunus is offensive. calling them that/an animal is offensive bc theyre a person #idk not a whole lot of thought was put into faunus and its so obvious and so exhausting #Hopefully some of this makes sense. my brain is soup and my thoughts arent words just vibes
