9 and 27!

9. Do they empathize with non-sentient things (dolls, plants, books…)?

hanami definitely doesn’t. she takes care of her belongings (and her garden), but ultimately she only thinks of them as tools and doesn’t attach any personality or sentience to them, aside from the occasional insult when she’s pulling a particularly stubborn weed. (it’s extra funny because she does have at least one belonging--her hachigane, which was broken in half at the ghimlyt dark and reforged with a little help from her friends--which is ripe for metaphor cultivation, but it just never occurs to her.) she also never got into playing with dolls when she was little; she preferred playing shinobi with her neighbors and getting stuck trying to climb over the fence.

haruki absolutely does and will talk to anything if he’s bored enough. he frequently narrates his routine to broom-san when he’s cleaning to keep himself from getting or distracted, and will curse out the stubborn shoji that doesn’t fit its track quite right every time it gets stuck. he asks the walls to remind him to fix that and they are startlingly unhelpful.

27. Forgiveness or vengeance (or…)?

for hanami, vengeance every time. she doesn’t forget and she certainly doesn’t forgive. haruki is more willing to forgive; he doesn’t seek vengeance unless someone has directly threatened his immediate family.

what you ultimately want to win--from either of them--is trust. hanami is entirely capable of restoring trust without forgiveness; she trusts g’raha and urianger with her life, but she’ll never forgive either of them, and she specifically won’t trust urianger with anyone other than herself. for haruki, trust and forgiveness are mutually inclusive; if you want one, you need the other.

[OC DRAWING PROMPTS - ACCEPTING!] [completed!]

😡 Draw your OC the maddest they’ve ever been

a decade’s worth of anger boils in your chest and nothing will appease it but the blood of the woman who took everything from you.

(you wonder if she’s ever bothered to check on the family whose lives she ruined, if she’s ever offered anything to the victims left in the wake of her cruelty. you wonder if the ringing in your ears will finally leave you if she dies. the parts of you that haven’t relearned kindness yet—the monster that lurks in your shadow and reminds you that you’ll never reclaim your childhood no matter how hard you try—wait to see.)

1, 9, and 12!

1. Is your muse a romantic? Do they dream of love and marriage?

generally, no. hanami is very much not inclined towards romance and doesn’t tend to catch romantic feelings for others--i’d probably say she’s demi-romantic, actually, even if it’s not a label she’d be familiar with or use for herself. gooey feelings might happen if she knows the other person well, likes them as a friend, and also finds them physically attractive. (that last one is not hard; the first two prerequisites are much more difficult, given Her Entire Personality.) she never worried much about romance (if it happened, it happened, but if it didn’t, no skin off her back), and marriage ranged from an irritating distant obligation (when she was younger and the heir to a noble house, so if she didn’t find someone to marry she probably would have wound up in an arranged marriage) to something not even on her radar (as she grew into adulthood, the empire cracked down, and any pipe dreams of restoring her family’s social status were discarded totally).

now of course she’s in a long-term romantic relationship and (mostly) happily engaged and trying to figure out what the fuck happened. if hanami from ten years ago could see her now she’d laugh herself silly.

9. Is your muse attracted to any features in particular?

eyes. she’s a sucker for a pretty pair of eyes. also: shoulders. muscles in general, actually, but shoulders take the cake. being taller than her is a nice bonus.

look, girl’s had two (or three, depending on the ‘verse) serious romantic relationships in her life: one was her first long-term (but kinda on-again-off-again) girlfriend, seika, who is a seven-foot-tall roegadyn falcon tamer who could deadlift hanami and her sword; a’vis, who is well over six feet tall not counting the rabbit ears and wrestles her own summoned egis for fun; and aymeric, who is. well. [gestures]

she has a type. she is not ashamed to admit it.

12. Is your muse easily flustered? Do they blush, swear, etc.?

shockingly, yes. she’s hard to fluster in private, but she’s allergic to public displays of affection and spontaneously combusts if you try to hold her hand in a public setting. she might blush, but it’s usually on her neck/behind her horns and hard to see; she actually doesn’t swear nearly as much when she’s embarrassed as when she’s teasing someone else, either. most of the time she just hunches her shoulders and sulks, but cutely, as opposed to grumpily.
