2. What is their grooming routine?

Nora's top priority is always her hair and face, in that order. She braids or wraps her hair at night to keep it from being damaged, and washing her face/brushing her teeth is the first thing she does after waking up or before going to bed. She also does those on an as-needed basis throughout the day.

5. What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances?

Oh man, she cries a lot--but (almost) always to herself, typically at night. Sometimes it's because of the overwhelming circumstances she's in; sometimes she just feels like it.

8. Describe the place where they sleep.

For the majority of my fic, the place she sleeps most often ("home" as it were) is the spare bed at the detective agency. At first, when she still feels like a guest, she keeps her things to herself, typically putting everything in her bag before going to bed.

Once she starts working with Nick and gets more comfortable in the space, she spreads out a bit--she keeps her boots at the foot of the bed, her personal grooming supplies on the dresser, and any sentimental items on the headboard of her bed (for example, the toy soldier MacCready gives her). Everything she owns is kept within sight of her bed instead of put into drawers, mostly for convenience but also for some struggles with object permanence related to her ADHD. Overall, her personal space is very tidy.

She tends to be a side sleeper and likes to have a pillow against her back as well as under her head. She also prefers one heavy comforter to several smaller blankets.
