#(and having aaravi around helps miri because then she feels safe enough to eat and not be judged for it)

i do think aaravi is mostly incredibly lean and kinda scrawny. like she has muscle still, but its sinewy kinda muscle and it sticks pretty strictly to her bones, and she could definitely stand to be in better shape. she doesnt really work out (shell go on jogs and stretch and do other things in the comfort of her own space and away from other people, but shes not a gym girl), so basically all of her strength comes from dungeon diving and hunting and physical activities, and shes still shooting herself in the foot there by forcing herself to go too hard too quick.

her diet also sucks, since she regularly forgets to eat or puts off eating, and most of what she does eat tends to be gas station junk and energy drinks. this isnt to say she doesnt greatly enjoy cooking, but shes at the point in time where her enjoying it means its its own ordeal and event and she often is just too focused on other things to dedicate time and space to make her own food. it becomes too much of a special thing rather than an everyday thing.

as time goes on and she stops throwing herself into every hunt like she wants it to kill her, she does start to gain weight and put on some more solid muscle, making her look like proper butch bait again instead of an angry feral cat.

#all the care guide says is 'biomass' #miravi.txt #you know. its the difference in body quality between a working dog and a feral dog #its about the consistency and the muscle mass to fully make use of their entire body #instead of the muscle mass to not die today and fight someone off of your meal with nothing to spare #tbf miri is in a similar state #although miri is more. skinny dolphin. #the stress really is eating aaravi alive and shes not really doing anything to stop it #(which is why having miri around helps her) #(as it makes her slow down and pace herself and realize she has to stop burning the candle at both ends) #(and having aaravi around helps miri because then she feels safe enough to eat and not be judged for it)
