How would the ROs react with shy mc?

Daeron: He’d be gentle and patient. Having met a variety of people over his many years alive, Daeron never wishes to people into doing things that they’re not ready to do (unless the time truly calls for it). Would go at your own pace and wait for you to come to him— knows what it’s like to pushed into a corner without any hope of escape; he wouldn’t wish to make you feel that way. Ever.

Larak: Wouldn’t truly understand it— would liken you to a field mouse. Being an Orc, he’s taught to take what you want, when you want it; to put yourself out there, even if it’ll leave you with scars and more pain than it’s worth. Because trying, at the end of the day, makes you feel more alive then simply letting things pass you by. He’d get used to your mannerisms though and learn to work around them (after a lot of blunders).

Calypso: She’d find it absolutely adorable. Calypso isn’t timid, nor is she afraid of putting herself out there, but she understands people that are more reserved/shy. She’d try her best to get you out of your shell and see the world for the beautifully wondrous place that it is. May be a bit overbearing at times though.

Shanaera: She’s quite reserved herself. Wouldn’t say she’s shy, by any means, but she’d probably be able to connect a bit more with an MC that is over the others. She’d simply let you go at your own pace, not even batting an eye, as she has to deal with a variety of people that can be even more timid than you. Trying to get a freaked out pixie to talk is a chore… She’d enjoy the soothing silences between you both; nothing needed to be spoken for things to be felt.

Fáelán: Has been with you for a long time— they understand your mannerisms completely and wouldn’t change you for the world. They can be quite timid at times too— although that can also quickly melt away into brashness— but they’d easily take on the mantle of being outgoing to get things done; as they’d never wish for you to do something that you’re not comfortable in doing.

Valerian: You’ve just gotten so much cuter in their eyes. A darling creature that’s scared to peek your head out of your shell? It’d entice them more and make them even more keen to get to know you— to figure out what you’re like when you finally do come out more. Would relish in that shyness and try to make you even more bashful— a knowing smirk on their face all the while.

ROs heights?

Now keep in mind I'm 5'3" and so that adjusts my perception of certain heights (every time I see a short king on dating apps with a clear complex about it I'm like my man....you're like three inches taller than me...what are you mad for....).

Unusually Tall

Siruud, Tahira, Crave

A real "how's the weather up there" situation. Crave mostly qualifies through virtue of his general build which is the kind of lank you don't usually get outside of puberty, then Siruud is a demon so he's just naturally outside the scope of human height, and Tahira is just a tall ass person.

Normal Tall

Valerian, Gnarl

They've never thought once about posting something passive aggressive to their dating profiles, nor do they hit their heads off low doorways.

Average Height

Trigger, Abeni

Now by "average" here comes my caveat: average height to me is like 5'6" to about 5'11"? They COULD be passive aggressive on dating profiles. They wouldn't be because they have real problems, but they could.

Short King

Mantis

Short and broad, with the density of uranium. Not interested in what's on the top shelf. If she needs it that bad she'll tear the wall down.

List 3 of your favorite sims from other simmers you enjoy and explain why (Send this to 10 other blogs 💖💖)

Only 3? I know everyone else has said it, but really? Only three???

Rowena, @nexility-sims. I love all of N's characters (really, I could probably make an entire list just based on N's story) but I have a special soft spot for Ro. I have an eternal soft spot for "bad girl" characters, especially when we get to see them grow and develop and take on new roles within the story.

Rebi, @ladybugsimblr. Miss Rebi is only a toddler but already has SO much attitude and personality. I really love her voice and her running commentary. Cutest and most realistic toddler on Simblr, change my mind.

Valerian, @theplottdump. VALERIAN!!!!!! Perhaps I am simply biased on account of loving corny spies and supervillain stuff, but I really love Valerian, especially his relationship with Chad. He deserves the world 😤

[charmed-redemption]

"If you hurt me I will let you know."

Rico spoke smiling a little as he responded ro the concern. Being what he was taking damage was minimal much like language was no issue as he knew Dathraki much like old valerian. Though the voice of the Khal was soothing in any language. The deep near guttural sound of his voice was refreshing reminding him of the horses that the clan prized. Pulling the man close he offered a kidd gentle at first but soon after showed the was claiming the dathraki god as his own.

Soft facts about the ROs

I've not written much today because I've been feeling...terribly off. I get these days occasionally, this terrible feeling of dread and sadness. I have medication for it, but I think we all know that even our best days with our medication and therapy can't quiet "fix" our worst days.

So for that reason, I'll be listing out some 'soft' facts about the romance options in hopes of getting out of this slump.

Valerian

- prefers tea over coffee. Rose tea is his favorite.

- has the urge of petting any and all animals he sees on sight. Doesn't matter how nasty or dangerous looking the animals are, he wants to pet them

- shines his shoes and, when possible, irons his clothing. takes great care of them. makes him feel like he can wear them

Peter

- Lives on coffee exclusively. please get him some water.

- is the mother hen, "have you eaten?" "get off of there, you'll hurt yourself!" "i made cookies!"

- writes poetry. badly. very badly. don't ask him to recite your poetry. please.

Rosalie

- Learned how to make eggs "the right way". "The right way", she was taught, was burning them. She ate burnt eggs for ten years. Peter was mortified.

- Loves bubble baths, and will sell every single one of her crew members out for a freestanding bathtub.

- Once cried for thirty minutes straight because they rode past a town that featured, quote, "the universe's smallest pony". Valerian said they didn't have time to see it, Rosalie cried, and Thane about ended Valerian's life over it.

Ophelia

- still has her stuffed animal from her childhood. It is a klaxir, a lizard on her homeworld that spits acid and is capable of swallowing men whole. depictions of a klaxir on children's bedposts and as stuffed toys are said to ward off bad dreams.

- attempted to spar with Rosalie in the training room, thinking this would create a bond between the two of them. Rosalie was surprised when, upon being invited to the "girls night out", she was hit in the face with a bo staff. Ophelia promptly apologized for the confusion and left the room.

- was once caught with her hand stuck in the cookie jar. Ophelia swore Thane to secrecy, much to Thane's amusement. He never mentioned it to anyone.

Javier

- Has the terrible habit of walking out of his room in his underwear. You're not home, Javier, please put a shirt on.

- Has a bet with peter going involving how many times thane hits his head on the low-hanging entrance to the Cheyenne. Peter has the number of 35, Javier has the number of 28. So far, Thane's at 16.

- is allergic to a Kal'Morran fruit called 'graelo', but loves it because it "tastes exactly like candy". Thane has forbidden Javier from going to the market with Peter because Peter always relents on getting the fruit, and Javier always winds up in the medical room.

Thane

- Has hit his head on the entrance to the Cheyenne a total of 40 times. Neither Javier nor Peter know, and he prefers to keep it that way. No, Valerian will not be making an upgrade to the ship.

- Secretly into trashy romance novels. He wants love too, okay?

- has yet to tell Peter that the coffee he drinks is actually decaffeinated. Thane switched it out after listening to Peter's heartbeat during one checkup. The irregular beat to Peter's heart that day still gives Thane nightmares.

Sergio

- Plays music from his hometown when he gets homesick

- Is actually very good friends with Ophelia, and will spend time with her discussing literature.

-Shares trashy romance novels with thane. It's about the one thing the two can agree on. Gotta get your smut from somewhere.

????/Hope

- No understanding of how doors nowadays function. They run into them, send help

- Loves birds. Begged the captain for a pet bird, but Valerian said no- not because Valerian didn't want the bird on board, but because Annie (the cat) will eat it. He knows this from experience

- is intimidated by stoves. if you see them staring at the one in the mess hall, turn the other direction.

7, 13, 15, 16 for Jade? ^^

7. How old are they? In what year were they born?

Hhhhh okay, I haven’t really figured this one out since datesare hard to pinpoint exactly for me. Her birthday is October 26ththough. In relation to other fankids, depending on who they are created bybecause some people may hc their kids to be born totally different years thanothers which is fine, Jade would be two years older than @slytherin-puffskein‘sValerian Lee and/or the same age as @neonbluewaves‘ kids Ro, Lore, andThibault.

13. How is their relationship with their parents?

Sam and Diego adopted Jade when she was 7-ish? Jade camefrom a very abusive home, one that touches all four parts of abuse, and is veryrough around the edges as a result. She is aggressive like her birth father andslightly manipulative like her birth mother. She did love her birth parentsthough, which sadly is normal for children from broken homes, and their deathsreally set her back in terms of emotional development.

That all being said, Sam and Diego are very loving andaffectionate people, something Jade is not used to. It takes her a while toeven just accept it, although she does so grudgingly. She is closer to Diegomainly because she feels disconnected from Sam, who is soft and nurturing andnot at all like Jade, who gets into fistfights and harsh arguments with othersover small things. With Diego, he teaches her dueling strategies and will grabher up and start dancing with her randomly if a good enough song is on. She actslike he’s annoying but she secretly loves the moments she has when she can dancewith her papa. She does grow to love them both dearly, even if she doesn’texactly show it.

15. What is their relationship with other fankids? Do they knowany?

Oh boy, yes she does. Quite a few people like hertake-names-and-kick-ass attitude apparently! First is Valerian Lee. He is softand sweet, and she will protect him at all costs. She finds it hard to open upto people but it’s easy with Val. Sometimes they sit together in silence, whichis completely fine with both of them. Val had a crush on her briefly during hisfirst (and part of second maybe?? Idk), which Jade teases him about all thetime.

Another fankid with a crush on Jade is Narcisso Handoris (@sirfluffig),whom she affectionately calls her bitch. I’m actually currently writing theirfirst meeting! Eventually, Ciss wears her walls down and they start dating,though I’m not sure when that happens. His sister Melody is also friends withJade, I’m just not entirely sure of their dynamic just yet. I think Fluffymentioned Melody possibly having a crush on her??? Idk

Okay the last fankids I think might get along with Jade are RocioWelkin and Thibault Landon, and it’s a big maybe. I guess it depends on timing andthe situation really. Ro and Jade both have little brothers that rope them intocovering for them when they prank others and their parents were good friendsduring their Hogwarts years (Neon and Diego. Sam tries but gets along betterwith Neon’s cousin/basically sister Nuria). As for Thibault, he is a soft boyin Slytherin and she hates to see anyone get picked on so she feels almost responsibleto keep him safe and would step in if his sister Lore isn’t around or ifThibault doesn’t stand up for himself. If they were to meet, they wouldprobably meet in year 4???

16. Do they have any gifts, like singing, dancing, painting,dueling…?

Jade is decent at singing and cooking (cooking is mostly because Sam has the kids help him cook when they can/with age-appropriate tasks). She doesn’t showanyone except maybe Val and/or Thibault (because theatre nerds), but she alsoloves dancing. Dancing with Diego is very common when they’re all home and havethe radio on.

Heyy, could you answer 🌿 and 🌞?

Love you story btw

🌿 who is your favourite character you've ever written?

ok this one is pretty hard.... but probably valerian from my regular/linear novel wip. he's SO chaotic, very vain, sometimes cruel and selfish, but very vulnerable too & with very relatable wants/fears. he's the closest thing to an antihero i've ever written (or will write... since i only have a half finished "zero draft" of this story) and i just adore the way his mind works and the relationships he ends up developing.

🌞 favourite character from current wip

ok, for briarheart it's probably nima. i know we arent supposed to have favorite ROs but well... they are mine. they are a bit like valerian since both are /very/ messy (even though nima is harmless in comparison.... very confused/lost instead of very selfish). i love how vulnerable they are but also how unpredictable they can be as well.

since im also working on fantasy romance wip rn (regular/linear fiction, not an if, im posting more about it on my writing blog) there's also loifa, who is a lot like valerian and nima. in fact, a venn diagram of my current favorite ocs would look like this:

i have a very obvious type anon 🥲 they even look a bit alike lol

thank you so much!!! i hope i can update briarheart soon <3

Hi, Vara! I also suffer from insomnia, recently I found some valerian tea, they are very good for relaxing. Well, I stole the question, how would the RO react to their kids walking in on them while getting frisky with MC?

I guess they would do the same thing every parent would in this situation :D But I guess it depends... If the kid is still small, they would just stop and either tell the kid to go back to bed or if they had a nightmare or something, they would probably give up and help the kid instead lol. And if the kid is old then they would just tell them to get the f. out and learn to knock next time 😂 Thanks for the message 🥰🥰🥰

[heart-forge]

How would the ROs in relationship react if MC accidentally introduces them as their husband/wife/spouse to someone without actually realizing?

See I try to read stuff so carefully because of how many times I have answered a totally unrelated question because I read this at first as "what if they casually introduced them to their spouse". Like oh, it'd be bad.

BUT I correctly read your question and here I am to answer it:

Siruud

Won't correct you, but notices the difference and doesn't really know what to make of it.

Tahira

Valerian

Overthinks it to hell and back, but doesn't correct you. It might cause a bit of a tizzy for a while—Val's a public figure and by extension a lot of people are interested in the possibility of him having eloped during his extended stay in the countryside (he didn't NOT).

Abeni

Gnarl

They're immediately down for the bit. Are we clowning these people babe? Babe do you need me to pretend to be injured? to have a fly in my soup? They're yes and-ing you, for evil.

Trigger

He corrects you, then gets self-conscious about correcting you and so he derails the conversation again to explain to the person you're speaking to that it isn't that he doesn't WANT to be seen that way or that there's a tangible difference even tbqh, he just wanted to firmly define the relationship. And then the cashier goes "sir this is a wendys" and he goes to sit in the car.

Mantis

Corrects you, because you're wrong. It's not person you just said something that wasn't true, she assumes by mistake.

Crave

Corrects you, and then it occurs to him several hours later that it wasn't that you were "mistaken" so much as you slipped and then cheeses about it forever.

-----------------

February 20th, 1692 Salem Massachusetts

It was another warm day, Roman wanted to go on another stroll like he had four days prior, (He wanted to see if Janus would be by the stream again) but his father said he needed him to stay behind. Roman forces a smile as he passes out bread and wine to his father’s churchgoers, he would rather be doing anything else than this, his father never made Remus do this tedious task.

“Are this bread and a small bit of wine for me or are you going to crush it some more in those strong hands of yours?”

Roman felt his heart leap into his throat, he looked up from the ground and felt his face heat up. Standing in front of him was Janus, that same smirk plastered on his scarred and freckled face.

Instead of the white dirty looking long-sleeved shirt and ill-fitting brown pants, he had on the day before, Janus sported a nice button-up short-sleeve white shirt and black slacks. His shoes were polished and the buckles were done up nicely, a black hood attached to a cloak was over Janus’ head, partially hiding his strawberry blonde locks.

“Hello, earth to Roman Harford?” Janus teases.

Roman shakes his head and hands the smaller man the small piece of bread and the small cup of wine. He watches as Janus eats the bread and takes a tentative sip of the wine, Roman forces himself to hold still when a drop of wine is left on Janus’ bottom lip.

Roman looks away when Janus darts his tongue out to lick the last bit of wine away.

“I-I didn’t know that you attended my father’s church services, how have I not noticed you before?”

Janus smiles and lowers his hood, Roman still feels as if his breath has been knocked out of him from the shorter man’s beauty.

“I only attend on Wednesdays, I don’t have the time on Sundays because I travel to the next town over to sell the remedies I’ve made for all kinds of ailments. I know you’re not supposed to work on the lord's day, but it’s the only time I’m not busy,” Janus explains, he steps to stand next to Roman allowing the next person to take their bread and wine.

“That would explain it… Normally I’m not here on Wednesday, but my father’s hand-picked choir boy was… accused.”

Roman whispers the last part, not wanting to start an uproar for mentioning ‘witches’ during church time. He shudders at the memory of Virgil being dragged away last night by the Marshall, Roman hopes his father can save Virgil from the rope.

“Such a shame, is it not? These poor people… do you believe this choir boy should have been…” Janus takes a conspiratorial look around before whispering, “accused.”

Roman couldn’t help the small smile that broke out across his face, something was amusing about Janus making fun of the way he treats the trials and how he chooses to speak of them.

“No… He’s just… A little unusual. He has these attacks, you see. Virgil… that’s his name by the way… but… Virgil has these moments of not being able to breathe and sobbing uncontrollably while screaming. Before he was… taken away, he had an attack and lashed out hatefully against the stand-in priest for my father,” Roman pauses to offer a woman a small piece of bread along with her own cup of wine.

“The… The priest accused Virgil of allowing Satan in his body… came up with this whole tale of how Virgil made a deal… I visited him this morning and he was fine, still shaky due to the circumstances but he was fine…”

Janus nods as he downs the rest of his wine, he grimaces at the taste, ‘ Surely the blood of Christ would taste better than this,’ he thinks as he stuffs the rest of the bread in his mouth, chewing quickly before swallowing.

“I don’t believe this… Virgil was inflicted by Lucifer himself. A girl around our age is prone to those same fits, I was able to help her overcome them by giving her a remedy that had poppy’s and valerian mixed with some boiled water and sugar to add for taste. I still have some left if you would like a bottle to take to your friend.”

Roman blinks and stares at Janus for a moment, he couldn’t tell if the smaller man was being serious or not, but he decides to humor him.

“Okay… We’ll wait, you can give it to me and I’ll hold onto it. When he has another fit I’ll give it to him and see if it helps him.”

Janus smiles and bows his head, Roman fights the urge to tilt his head back up so he can stare into those beautiful mismatched eyes.

“Very well… Meet me tonight, by the stream where you first saw me. I’ll be waiting there with the mixture,” Janus hands Roman his empty cup and turns to leave.

He stops and glances over his shoulder, his pink lips tilted up into a small smirk, “Don’t keep me waiting, Roman Harford, I’m not known for my patience,” he says as he turns away pulling his hood back over his head.

Roman watches as Janus walks away, the smaller man doesn’t have to fight through the citizens to make a path for him, not wishing to be in Janus’ way as he makes his trek back into the woods from where he came.

“Roman? What’re you staring at, kiddo?”

Roman turns back, his father standing in front of him. The long line of parishioners now disbursed after receiving their bread and wine.

“Oh… Nothing, there were just some birds around is all,” Roman lies.

He wasn’t sure why he chose to lie to his father, but something told him that lying about Janus’ presence was the best way to go right now.

-----------

That night, Roman waits for his brother and father to fall asleep before setting out to meet Janus at the stream. Shockingly the night was warm, albeit not that warm but it was warm enough for Roman to not need all kinds of layers as he needed the days before and after he met Janus within the woods.

Roman slowly makes his way through the woods, judging only by his sense of hearing to make his way through safely. He thought about bringing a lantern with him but was scared the light would awaken someone.

“Some used to say that I’d never scale this mountain, now that I’m close they shut their eyes and draw their curtains~.”

Roman stops when he hears that angelic voice, he couldn’t help the smile that tugged on his face, ‘ Like a siren luring a sailor into a deadly trap…’

He trudges ahead as Janus’ singing fills the once quiet woods, “Those who don’t believe, will always encourage defeat~.”

The singing grows closer as does the sound of the trickling stream that Roman caught Janus at all those days ago.

Once the sound of the stream is practically roaring through his ears, Roman can’t help but take refuge behind the same tree he had four days prior.

“They’ll scream and shout and scold, for the curse of the fold~.”

Roman peeks out and inhales sharply, there stood Janus, in the same clothes from earlier next to the stream of water. Moonlight bathed him in its pale light, making him look even more breathtaking within the darkness of the night.

“I know you’re there, Roman. What did I tell you about keeping me waiting?”

Roman feels his face heat up as he steps out from behind the tree, he offers Janus a sheepish smile as he steps forward.

‘ Lord help me in the presence of this gorgeous man.’

“I apologize… I just wanted to hear the beautiful singing that I’ve missed for the past four days,” says Roman, trying his best to put on a smooth tone in hopes of flustering Janus for once.

Janus fights off a blush as he plasters on a smirk, “Well… Maybe if you come to visit me more often you’ll be blessed to hear my singing. Until then, I believe I owe you something for your friend's ailment, yes?”

Roman nods, if he were being completely honest, he had forgotten that the intentional reason for this meeting was for Virgil.

Janus pulls a small bottle from the pocket of his cloak, the liquid on the inside was pale pink, it was sealed with a normal brown cork.

“When you give this to him, make sure you only give about a tablespoon and that’s it. Too much could make him sick if it helps him and you need more than just let me know.”

Roman takes the bottle and stuffs it into the pocket of his pants, he hesitates for a moment before speaking again.

“How will I find you, if he needs more? You’re not always going to be at this stream… and you won’t know when I’ll need some more.”

Janus smirks and turns away from the taller man, “You’ll find me… All you’ll have to do is let fate guide you. I hope your friend comes out of this alive, Roman, have a safe walk back.”

Roman watches as Janus heads off into the woods, the red-head couldn’t help but bite his lip. Janus was a strange one, Roman couldn’t help but feel himself being pulled to him, wanting to find out more about this mysterious man who lives in the woods.

He takes a breath and turns his back, Roman looks behind him once more before making the quiet trek back home.

The one thing they both missed was the pair of green eyes that were watching them behind the bushes close by.

They both missed the manic smile that spread across a mustached face.

“Well, Ro-Ro seems to have a new friend… I wonder how this is going to play out.”

Here’s literally all the rosie lore. 

(template 1) (template 2)

Name: Rosemary Nare Etana Alias: Ro, Rose, Rosie Personality: Rosemary is very open about her emotions. She takes a while to warm up to people, but when she does, she loves people very strongly. Relatives: Father (estranged), Mother (deceased), 4 older siblings, 2 younger siblings. Status: Alive Species: Human Gender: cis female Age: 19 Eyes: Gold Hair: Pink Appearance: Rosemary is 5′5 and has short pink hair. She has two scars, one along her back and one on her lower right abdomen. She also has a tattoo on her calf of a lily. Birthday: July 30th Constellation: Leo Height: 5′5″ or 165 cm Blood Type: O Occupation: Magic Knight -Squad: Black Bulls Country: Clover Affinity: Lava Magic (On a scale of 0-10: 0 being terrible and 10 being the best) Physical Strength 5/10 Magic Amount 7/10 Magic Control 9/10 Magic Sensing 6/10 Cleverness 9/10 Growth 8/10 Equipment: none

(this next one is all in first person which i am NOT used to writing in but...)

Part 1: The Basics

What is your full name?--Rosemary Nare Etana

Where and when were you born?--I was born on July 30th in a large city in the Common Realm, however we moved to a small town shortly after I was born.

Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)--

Lily Etana was my mother’s name. She worked several jobs while raising us, like waitressing and being a maid. She was very kind too, but a lot of people took advantage of her for that. I guess that’s why Val and I have taken to being aggressive about how we feel, and aggressive in sticking up for her. When I was 12, an assassin killed her and gave me the scar across my back. I’m sure he was sent by my grandparents, but they played the fool and even sent an advisor to her funeral. Since then, that advisor has scheduled meetings with me monthly to make sure I haven’t told anyone.

My father’s name is Andranik Typhos the fourth? something like that, but I don’t know very much about him. I know he’s a noble, but I’ve never met him. I don’t hear that many complaints about him, and Mother says he was a wonderful gentleman, but I’ve met his parents, and I find it hard to believe that they would raise a lovely son.

Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?--I have four! On my mom’s side, at least.

Valerian is the oldest. He’s sixteen years older than me, so he’s a lot more mature than me, and very protective of us younger siblings. He has three kids, too, and his wife is Eli’s cousin. They have been married since I was only three, so she’s been in our lives forever. The two of them basically became my parents after our mother died, so I couldn’t be more grateful to them.

Then is Dahlia. Dahlia is 12 years older than me. She’s very calm, and there have been more than a few times where Valerian has been freaking out and Dahlia always keeps her cool and fixes the problem. She’s the best at makeup.

Basil is in the direct middle, and they’re 9 years older than me. They are very energetic and mischievous. I don’t think Basil wants a spouse, but they’re very dedicated to their craft. I blame them for the multiple scams of my father’s estate, but who’s complaining? Basil also has a scar along  their right cheek, running from their nose to their chin

Azalea is the closest to my age, she’s 25. She’s a lot like our mom. She treats everyone with kindness, but I worry about people taking advantage of her for that.

Also, I know that my father has two children younger than me with his wife, but I’ve never met them and I probably never will.

Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.--I live with the Black Bulls! The base is really crazy and always changing, but there’s always something going on, so everyday is fun.

What is your occupation?--I’m a Magic Knight, but I have also worked some other jobs in the past.

Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks--I’m 5′5, and around 150lbs. My skin is pale, so I tend to burn very easily, and my eyes are yellow and my hair is pink. I like to wear warm colors and clothes that aren’t very tight, as well as boots. I have two large scars, one is about three inches and is a slash along my stomach, while the other one is about eight inches long and runs across my upper back, both from assassination attempts. I try to hide both of them. I also have one tattoo on my lower calf, so it’s usually covered.

To which social class do you belong?--I believe I’m considered a commoner. I likely wouldn’t be considered a noble unless something happened to my father’s legitimate children, though I have no interest in being taken in by his family. 

Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?—I get nosebleeds often because of an injury when i was younger. 

Are you right- or left-handed?—right handed

What does your voice sound like?—If I had to describe it, I’d say it’s medium in pitch and kind of airy. 

What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?--nothing particularly?

What do you have in your pockets?—um. a handful of flowers, a pocket watch, and assorted candies. 

Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?—I sometimes bite my nails. 

Part 2: Growing Up

How would you describe your childhood in general?--Average for the most part, I’d say. I had a loving mother and 4 great siblings. Still, my mother’s death hit all of us very hard.

What is your earliest memory?--Sadly, my first assassination attempt. That one was when I was around five and it was sent by my father’s family. It gave me the scar on my stomach, and also gave Basil the scar on their face from them protecting me.

How much schooling have you had?--I went to the small schoolhouse in town up until I was 12, and then I started going less so I could work more. 

Did you enjoy school?--I enjoyed learning, but I’ve found that I learn more outside of school.

While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.—my siblings, especially Basil

While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?--We all got along very well as kids, though they were all a lot older than me so that did strain our relationships a bit, especially as the youngest.

As a child, what were your favorite activities?—i used to love helping my mother garden. 

As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?--I cried a lot more than I do now. I was always scared, as I knew from a young age that my father’s parents wanted me dead.

When and with whom was your first kiss?--also Eli, when we were about 12 and 13.

Part 7: Self Images And Etc.

Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?--I wake up at about 7 every morning, and get ready for the day.

Hello! So what would the ROs reactions be if MC was too smol and started giving bicep/collarbone/chest kisses instead of cheek kisses? Hope you have a nice day :)

Under the cut!

Valerian: He'll try his absolute best to not completely melt into the floor beneath him, but by the stars do you make it terribly difficult! You hadn't even asked him to bend down to meet you- you just smooched him! Valerian.exe has stopped working!

Peter: Feels so much adoration and affection because of this move alone that he's pretty sure he had heart palpitations because of it. Is it possible to become cuter? Peter would purposefully start to make himself a little taller- if only to see what other places you might start to kiss!

Rosalie: If you happen to be shorter than her, then by the stars would she be positively ecstatic at the height difference. Rosalie would never really leave it alone (affectionately, of course). However, if you start to give little smooches on her cheek because of your height... is it possible to humble brag about your partner being shorter (and cuter!) than you?

Ophelia: It is a gesture that Ophelia is not used to- small pecks and kisses of affection that ask for nothing in return. The way you peck her cheek and bicep- your cheeks blushing bright red as you do so- is enough to make her choked up with emotions, albeit briefly. She loves every bit of it.

Javier: Would giggle every time you did it, feeling a fondness there that he hadn't really felt before. He was already intensely attractive to you, but now? By the stars, it takes every bit of himself to not outright tear his clothes off.

Sergio: For all his pomp and circumstance, Sergio truly would love every small kiss and peck you give him- it's also a bit of a stroke to his ego, the way you might have to reach on your toes to give him a kiss. Sergio would be practically preening at the slightest smooch- he asks for so little in this life, please give him a kiss.

Thane: It's practically a certainty for anyone under 6'8 that Thane will have to lower himself in order to meet your face. It's no problem to him, of course, but it's shocking to feel a small peck against his bicep. He'd wonder if he needed to make more of an effort in showing affection and kissing you, and he does just that- but when you continue to leave little pecks on his body, he realizes that it's the only way you can actually give him random little kisses of affection. His heart melts, and he probably spends a good, long night swooning for you again, and again.

Hope: Understands and appreciates the value of your gestures, and feels themselves begin to expect it. It's a strange expectation for him, but not an unwelcome one- they'd try to return the gesture, and probably fail (cutely) at it.

Hawkeye: Not unlike Ophelia, they'd be a stranger to this kind of innocent gestures, and would probably shy away from it at first. It'd fluster them, the way you'd innocently peck their cheek or hand- you expect nothing in return besides a smooch! They can't just flirt with you when you made such an innocent kiss! Gah!
