Questions for OCs and their creators

4. How easy is it to earn their trust?

Harder than for the average person, but not that outrageously hard for Fatui standards. She has a healthy wariness when it comes to anyone not from her people, exacerbated by the fact that she tended to be viewed as a bit of a distant weirdo even before she enrolled. Still, she gets along decently well with her fellow soldiers and has a steady friend group - and you can earn her trust given enough time or similar mindsets.

8. What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?

Oh how her mother would have loved for her to start being more considerate of people! "Natalya, don't say that." "Natalya, go apologize." Day after day. To her credit, she did eventually get better at picking her words... But it took longer than her family would have liked.

Meanwhile, it'd have been nice if she stopped testing everything that came to her mind right at home. An inquisitive mind is a gift, and the reason why she eventually made it to the Akademiya, but a house is fragile, and hard to keep clean. It's great to question things, but it's also great to not leave odd mixtures and weird smells all over the house!

29. Do they usually live up to their own ideals?

Yes, she does. She aims to be a useful asset to her Archon, and for her research to push her comrades forward. Otherwise, she isn't particularly ambitious - but considering that she's personally assisting a Harbinger, I would say she's more than living up to her ideals of loyalty and progress.

38. What memory do they revisit the most often?

If she ever starts questioning herself or her actions, she'll think back to the time she witnessed the Tsaritsa address her people when she was much younger. Watching her Archon talk of her goals, of her promises to her people, it filled her with admiration and determination both and it's why she eventually enrolled to serve her. To this day she's wholly loyal to her and everything she does is for her.
