#kiki should also be allowed to be trifling in love

[callmetippytumbles]

I'm not giving you Liam, because between us both I think what we've written so far would fill a goddamned book. So I'll ask you for our other TRR favourites - Hana and Kiara!

I am happy that I do not have to do one of these for Liam.  I feel like I would say the same thing all of those other times I talk about Liam.  He is kind.  Dick is bomb.  Is a SINnamon roll.  I think I took some interesting turns answering this one @lizzybeth1986 and I hope you like it.

Do you love/hate/don’t feel strongly about this character?I love both Hana and Kiara.  I love that they are both very intelligent capable women. For the most part, both of them know what time it is.  The only time both of them seem to lose their footing is romantically which I get.

What’s your favorite trait of this character?For Hana, I love that she is willing to do things on her own terms and in her own way despite what everyone thinks.  She had to grow into that kind of bravery, but once she got there, she never left.  Also, Hana is a shade ninja.  She can come for you and leave you in pieces without even trying.

As for Kiara, I think it’s her drive.  She is probably the most motivated woman on the court including Madeleine. She can really see the big picture in terms of how to best utilize her position in court.  During the social season, all of these bitches were here for Liam, Kiara was like “I am here for these contacts and connections to get into the foreign ministry.”  While Halle (my TRR MC) was busy getting dicked down by Liam and getting into all of the mess, Kiara was using her position as a lady in waiting for A Demon to further her career goals.  Kiara can’t stand that bitch, but she sucked that up to aid her cause.  I salute her. #IStan4KiKi

What’s your favorite moment/even involving this character?My favourite Hana moment is when she shades Drake.  You think that Hana is all soft voice, demure smile and all of the submissive Asian stereotypes.  Go on.  Think that.  Don’t be fooled.  Hana is watching.  Biding her time.  Then she comes out of nowhere and tells you all about yourself and you have no choice but to sit with her truth.  She is a savage. I live.  

My favorite Kiara moment is when beat a dude with a mannequin’s arm.  She was going through it post-Homecoming Ball.  She was stabbed, had PTSS, the king is more concerned about her derpy brother who just wants to rock Mr. Roger’s cardigans and hug poodles with her best friend, Drake ain’t shit even though she lusts for him.  Struggles galore.  In that bridal boutique, she could have cried in a corner and let them bitches have Halle.  Halle was a jerk to her too.  But she got them shears and got to work.  #KiKiWillCutABitch

If you could have one power/attribute/etc. of this character, what would it be?I don’t know what the word for the trait would be, but I want to be able to make strangers love me so much that they give me cookies like Hana.  I am in Trumperica here and I may need to ask a stranger for help someday.  I would like to come out of that alive.

With Kiara, everyone would choose her polyglot skills.  Not me.  I want the drive.  I need all of the help to focus.  I take the Lambo of ADHD meds and I still struggle with staying on task.  I would like not to struggle like that.  

Have you ever pictured this character naked?Hana, only when I was reading that @choiceswreckedme fic.  Kiara, only recently when I started thinking about smut for her.  

When did you fall in love/hate with this character? I you don’t have any strong feelings toward them, why not?I liked Hana in TRR Book 1, but I loved her in Book 2.  Don’t get me wrong, Books 2 & 3 did Hana dirty in so many ways.  One thing I did like in Book 2 was watching Hana let herself be more quippy and less accommodating for the bullshit.  In Chapter 2 Halle is like what do I wear to a party where I see the woman engaged to the prince I was supposed to marry.  Hana simply says “something pink.”  I found that hilarious.  

As for Kiara, I like when she pushes back against the MC.  The MC really isn’t shit to her.  In the very same Chapter 2 of Book 2, the MC is all like why do you want a husband? I thought you wanted a ministry position.  KiKi had to tell her, I can get my dream job and find dick if I want to.  Again in Book 3, During the Lantern Festival, Kiara wishes to learn Icelandic faster.  The MC gives her and her father shit for those wishes being not personal enough.  Kiara claps back and says that her wish is personal to her.

Who’s your OTP for this character?For Hana, if I have to stay in-universe, and no OCs or anything like that, I have always thought that she and Maxwell would be an interesting couple.  They have a lot of fun together and genuinely care about each other.  When Hana’s parents try to take her back to their cult layer for reindoctrination, the person who is the most upset about it is Maxwell.  Think about it.  I will add the caveat that Hana gets with end of Book 3 Maxwell who acts a little more like an adult.

If I get to be more creative, Hana should get a stud or a stemme.  A stud would take good care of her and never have Hana out here looking crazy.  A stud would love her down.  A stud would also lay them hands on anyone who tries to cross Hana.  @lizzybeth1986 if you would just release the fanfics with your stemme queen for Hana, I would have an OTP to root for that deserves her.  

As for Kiara, I used to think Drake and her should get together.  She likes that simple man and Kiara deserves love.  While I do want Kiara to find love, I have a hard time with wanting her and Drake to couple up.  Like that is a love story full of unnecessary strife and aggravation.  Drake doesn’t even acknowledge her and Kiara deserves someone who would see her.  So right now I am thinking Kiara and Rashad could be something special…but I could easily see Kiara fucking that up for Drake.  So I don’t know.  

Thanks for the ask.  You always know how to challenge me.

Put a character in my ask box.
