My Review of Princess Sara
And now I return for more World Masterpiece Theater.
Today’s classic is something I’m somewhat familiar with. The series is loosely based on the novel titled, “A Little Princess” by Frances Hodgson Burnett. There were several adaptations for film and television throughout the past several decades including a Shirley Temple film in the late 1930’s, an Americanized version in the 90s, and about a bajillion Filipino adaptations. The one I’m most familiar with was the one that came out in 1995. I remember this film very well as it was played a lot in my youth and as an adult, I would come across it from time to time on HBO or some other station playing it. It was fine and all, but I knew that this film took artistic liberties and changed around a lot from the novel.
After watching several of these World Masterpiece Theater animes, I’ve come to realize that these series are pretty damn accurate when it comes to capturing the original source material. I mean yes, Les Mis took a lot of liberties to remove several characters from being killed off, but it was still top tier best version. All of these animes have to take a few liberties as they are all G-Rated. But they’re still very good nevertheless. I was curious about this particular story for the longest time and thought it was high-time I sit down and watch the anime version.
Sara Crewe and her father arrive in London from India. Back home, Sara was treated a lot like a princess and she acted like one. Not the bad kind, the Princess Diana kind, she’s a sweetheart. Sara is about to be admitted to a boarding school, Miss Minchin’s all-girl’s boarding school that is! Once at school, Sara was beloved by most of the students and praised by teachers due to her academic skills. On top of which, her father is loaded! Yeah, her father is in the diamond business back in India and so he has enough money to keep her daughter happy.
Unfortunately, when Sara’s father dies news also comes that the family is bankrupt leaving Sara without a penny to her name. Surely Miss Minchin will care for the poor orphan girl, right? Ha, I already know this story. Miss Minchin strips Sara of her education, clothes, and housing. Even though she tossed around the idea of casting the orphaned girl to the streets, Miss Minchin takes pity on the girl. Sara will live in a cold attic and work as a scullery maid. Sara is to do as she’s told by her higher-ups, never talk with the other students, and must work until she pays off her debts to Miss Minchin.
BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: As I’ve mentioned in the past, only a few of the World Masterpiece Theater animes were dubbed into English. And this was one of them…sorta! Our good friends at Animax did one. And if you’re unfamiliar, this is the company from Southeast Asia that dubs anime into English. And if that still doesn’t ring a bell, look up the Cardcaptor Sakura dub and you’ve got your answer. As usual, this anime has made its way across the globe to many different countries and territories. Apparently, it was a big hit in the Philippines. So much so that there’s a plethora of memes surrounding this one series! As for the cast, it’s a mixture of veteran voice actors that are still voicing today, lesser-known voices, and one-timers. And as this is a part of the World Masterpiece Theater collection, some voice actors here were heard in other works throughout the years like Naoko Watanabe and Eiko Yamada. Here’s what you might recognize these folks from.
*Sara is played by Sumi Shimamoto (known for Okita’s sister on Gintama, Kanata on Lucky Star, Ishizu on YGO, and Flora on Berserk 2016)
*Becky is played by Teiyuu Ichiryuusai (known for Masao on Crayon Shin-chan)
*Miss Minchin is played by Taeko Nakanishi
DISLIKED CHARACTERS: Oh-ho-ho, I knew going in that I was going to hate two specific characters! Those two are Lavinia and Miss Minchin. Though when I watched the movie, it was more of a hatred for Miss Minchin overall and Lavinia was a passing thought. Has this anime changed my thoughts on these two?
Right from the starting gate, they are both detestable and will continue to be that.
Lavinia is a snot-nosed brat who gets jealous every time Sara gets attention from the teachers. But the greatest injustice done to Lavinia was that Miss Minchin took Lavinia’s role of class rep and gave it to Sara. So the bitch was butt-hurt. But when Sara’s father died and she loses her wealth, Lavinia showed absolutely no sadness. In fact, she was the only person in the room smiling. What a bitch! And when Sara became a scullery maid for the seminary, Lavinia made sure to screw around with Sara by any means necessary. She gets a kick from making the poor girl suffer or get yelled at. Seriously, every time you see this snot-nosed brat glare at Sara I’m screaming, “JUST LEAVE THE POOR GIRL ALONE!”
Thank God there was a second of peace. Lavinia’s father learned that Sara was once a student but is now a scullery maid and Lavinia being so insistent that Sara become her personal maid. He slapped the freckles off that bitch’s face. Give that father a cash prize and a trophy! Mind you I said one second of peace. The next episode she was right back giving Sara (and Becky) a hard time. Lavinia does so much to Sara that I can’t believe Sara managed to remain civil throughout the entire ordeal.
And as for Miss Minchin, she’s had it out for Sara from minute one. But because her father was wealthy, she decided to use Sara to show off to high society people. And the brewing point for Miss Minchin to vow vengeance against Sara was because Sara hid the fact that she was fluent in French. The audacity of this bitch! But again, because of Sara’s father, she sucked up. Miss Minchin’s true colors came out in front of Sara when it’s learned of her father’s death and failed diamond business. No pity on the girl who just lost everything. She was ready to throw her out on the street, but was begged by others to keep her as a maid.
Miss Minchin would be terrible to Sara. She physically abused her, starved her, forced her to live in unlivable conditions, and had the other workers (Molly and James) work her like a slave. One of the worst moments was when Sara got severely ill. Never mind pushing Sara to the point of illness, this woman had to think for a moment to get a credible doctor to look at her. She got the cheapest, drunkest doctor they could find who misdiagnosed her. Miss Minchin even thought about sending Sara to a sanitorium if this persists. Bitch, I can’t even with you! At least in this version, Miss Minchin never sent the police on Sara. Of the three versions to this story I’ve watched, I think this Miss Minchin was the cruelest. Only because we do witness her slapping Sara several times!
SHIPPING: I know I shouldn’t be shipping anyone with anybody. Most of the people in this story are young. VERY YOUNG! As for the adults, there were no romantic interests for anyone here. It’s plainly clear that Miss Minchin is going to die a spinster. None of the teachers had secret relationships with some guy like in the Shirley Temple version. And Miss Amelia didn’t run off with the milk man like in the 1995 version! None of that went down in this adaptation.
With that said…
Peter x Sara is cute! I would support the hell out of this even though it probably isn’t canon.
ACCURATE OR NOT: So let’s see if Princess Sara really stacks up to the novel “A Little Princess”.
*Oh-ho-ho, time to nail my childhood to a wall. As you know, I’m well familiar with the 1995 rendition of A Little Princess. If you’re like me and know this film from start to finish, get ready to have the balloon pop. Becky’s not black. The story takes place in London, not New York City. The story really takes place in the late 1800s, not World War I times. Ralph Crewe didn’t leave his daughter to fight in a war. And finally the most important fact, Ralph Crewe remains dead. Most of the things I mentioned here were used correctly in this adaptation.
*There are some new characters added to the series. And quite frankly, I’m not entirely sure who these people are. Except for the animals! With the exception of Ram Dass’s monkey, I don’t think Miss Minchin’s cat Cesar nor the family of rats exist.
*Most things in this anime are pretty accurate to the original source. But there’s a good chance that most of the episodes were either fabricated or stretched out to fit the running time. You know, fillers! Call me crazy, but I don’t think the book had chapters involving a Halloween party. Same goes for that episode where Amelia opens up to Sara about her past with her sister.
*It is unknown how long this experience for Sara lasts anime-wise. In the book, Sara’s time at Miss Minchin’s seminary was approximately 2 years. The way I see it, I don’t think Sara was a scullery maid for more than a year in the anime. If she were, we would have probably gotten an episode of Sara celebrating her first birthday without her father.
ENDING: Around episode 30, the home next to Miss Minchin’s seminary was sold to a gentleman from India named Mr. Carrisford. He was able to survive a gnarly bout with Jungle Fever, although now he’s confined to a wheel chair. But Mr. Carrisford has an overwhelming sense of guilt due to how things went down in India. See, he convinced his long-time friend to go into business with him involving a diamond mine. But the friend died from his Jungle Fever, leaving behind a daughter and a whole legal battle involving bankruptcy.
In case you’re not keeping up, Mr. Carrisford’s friend is Ralph Crewe, Sara’s father. Sara is just several feet from the gentleman who can save her from the living hell of Miss Minchin’s seminary.
But Medea, we’ve got over 15 episodes left!
Correct, dipshit! Mr. Carrisford doesn’t remember a lot, probably due to the Jungle Fever. He doesn’t remember Ralph’s daughter’s name. And he forgot where Sara was sent for her education. In fact, he was way off. Mr. Carrisford had his friend travel by boat to France in search for this girl. So I’m sitting here episode-after-episode screaming at the screen, “SHE’S RIGHT THERE, YOU IDIOT”. But because of Sara’s friendship with Ram Dass (Carrisford’s caretaker), he saw to it to repay Sara for her kindness. Ram Dass would spend days and nights going to the attic to give Sara warm blankets, clothes, and food. Sara thought it was a magic spell or a guardian angel looking out for her. It wasn’t long before Miss Minchin saw these special items in the attic and threw Sara out to sleep in a horse stable.
Things only get worse from here when one night the stable catches on fire and Sara almost burned to death. And then she gets blamed by Miss Minchin for starting the fire! This is the one and only time I’ve ever seen Sara stand up to Miss Minchin as she was not at fault. I know it’d be asking too much to have Sara tell Miss Minchin to fuck off, but this was big for Sara to stand up for herself. In actuality, Lottie accidentally dropped a candle when she was scared by (you guessed it) Lavinia and her friends. But no, Miss Minchin jumped to every wrong conclusion and threw Sara out of the seminary. Fortunately, Sara was taken in by Peter and his family and she was even able to get a job like many of the other children in the area.
Sara’s going to be a little match girl!
This anime hurts to watch. This anime hurts a lot.
Thankfully Sara’s stint as a little match girl was short-lived as Miss Amelia came looking for her and brought her back to the seminary. The only reason behind that is because there was a big care package addressed to Sara. Miss Minchin made it very clear that she still despises Sara. But Minchin flips her light-switch when she sees the care package contained beautiful clothing and such. Because she thought Sara was being watched by a wealthy and anonymous family member, she allows Sara to live in the attic and attend classes instead of doing chores with Becky. She goes back to kissing her ass. Again, the audacity of this bitch!
Moving back to Mr. Carrisford’s dilemma! He sent his solicitor to France in search of Ralph Crewe’s daughter. He returned with no such luck of a daughter. Then, they decide to hone their search to right here in England because this is where Ralph was from. Thankfully, fate intervened before they start another grand search as Sara came by the home to return Ram Dass’s monkey. Here it is, the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Sara meeting Mr. Carrisford! He learns Sara knows some Hindu and grew up in India. He put 2+2 together and realized the girl from next door he’s been secretly helping was really Ralph Crewe’s daughter all along!
When Miss Minchin went next door to retrieve Sara, she was in for the shock of her life. Carrisford is going to adopt Sara. The diamond mine that was rumored to be a bust, was really fortuitous. Sara’s debts are wiped away. Not only is she inheritor to her father’s share, but she will also obtain Carrisford’s share when he passes (he has no heir of his own). And to top it off, he knows about the abuse of Sara so Sara is going to live next door instead of a creaky attic. You know, it’s not nice to kick people while their down. But fuck that, this bitch has needed a royal-ass beat down since episode one. Time for Miss Minchin’s sister to have her say!
MISS AMELIA: Throughout these 40-odd episodes, she is seen as the submissive sister, doing whatever Miss Minchin says. Amelia just stands there looking concerned every, single, fucking episode and does fucking nothing! She sees Sara suffering in silence with a smile on her face and says nothing to her sister. She even goes a step beyond that by begging Sara to forgive her sister several episodes prior to this very moment. We do get some light shed on Miss Minchin and Amelia’s past about how Miss Minchin worked odd jobs to take care of Amelia due to lack of parents. Not sure if this is really true or not, so I’m leaving it off my accuracy list. When Miss Minchin returns to the seminary and tells her sister what went down with Mr. Carrisford, Miss Amelia let her sister have it.
It was a long-time coming and I can understand a person like Amelia letting loose. Some people hold it in for so long until they’re filled to the top and explode. I’m one of those people, so again, I can relate in a way. Amelia spent this whole time contemplating whether to speak up about Sara’s abuse by her own sister or to shut up and do what her sister says. Hearing about Mr. Carrisford taking Sara snapped Amelia and she had a total breakdown. And all I can say is, “Bravo”! Amelia was absolutely right and I’m glad Miss Minchin heard it. It was all her fault. And if the seminary closes because people hear about Sara’s abuse, it’ll be all her fault.
BACK TO THE CONCLUSION: Fortunately for Miss Minchin, Sara is kind and forgiving. She had Mr. Carrisford give a sizable donation to Miss Minchin’s seminary. Miss Minchin was a notorious penny-pincher, so this should settle her. Sara gets quite the happy ending as she gets to live with Mr. Carrisford and still go to school. She has Becky become her personal maid. All of Sara’s belongings that were taken away when Ralph died are returned to her on Christmas. A little starving girl she helped early in the series has a happy ending as well. And we end with Sara and her new family go back to India. It’s for 4 months to settle things on the Crewe estate, but she’ll be back.
At least when she comes back, Lavinia won’t be there. Good riddance! At least they come to some sort of truce.
No matter what version of A Little Princess you watch, it’s always going to be a tough watch. Because of the size of this series, it can sometimes be too hard to watch. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good story where a character takes on adversity and struggles. But there comes a time when struggle just becomes borderline torture-porn. You know those stories where the hero has to go through so much pain and agony and eventually get some sort of satisfied conclusion. The anime The Rising of the Shield Hero and the movie Precious comes to mind. Thank God Sara never had to endure what Precious did. Still bad though! At least with the movie adaptations to Princess Sara, we only watch Sara’s struggles for like, what, an hour or maybe less. This is over 30 episodes of watching this girl get abused. That’s 23 minutes per episode, mind you! Not just from Miss Minchin, but the cooks and one smarmy brat who has a vendetta. All the while, you’re telling yourself, “Dude, you know this story and it’s going to get better”. But it’s not an easy watch! There are scenes where you just wish they’d leave Sara alone or just wish for things to get better.
Is this my favorite adaptations of A Little Princess? Hmm…I don’t know! I really liked this version of the story, but I still have an attachment to the 1995 film. Granted, the animation is always a bit of a drawback when it comes to these animes. But I have to cut some slack as this was mid-1980s here. If you were a fan of this story, whether you saw the 1995 film, the Shirley Temple film, or any of the other adaptations out there, I give a recommendation. Track this down and give it a watch.
Okay Randomizer-kun, I’m giving you another shot. Please don’t give me an obscure hentai to watch in place of this.
Oh thank God, another Nippon animation!

I want to write a Lovecraft AU where Aesnath Waite and Lavinia Whatley run off together and be wives.
YES holy shit, you are absolutely correct.
also, would now be a good time to bring up the time I fully started scripting a modern au Lovecraft TV show in which they spend a bunch of time traumabonding over their horrifying cult families?
Have a snippet:
(LIV stands in the kitchen, phone held to her ear)
LIV: Yes Dad. I know. Of course I don't. Listen, Dad we've been planning this all year, you can't just- No Dad. Okay. I'll talk to him. Bye. (she hangs up, drops the phone on the kitchen bench and sighs heavily, resting her head on her right hand. Suddenly, she stands up out of her slump and slams a fist against the counter) Dammit! (her voice breaks) dammit...
-fade out-
-fade back-
(LIV stands outside a closed door for a moment before knocking hesitantly)
LIV: Asa? Can we talk?
ASA: Sure, come on in- the door's unlocked.
(LIV enters the room)
-cut to ASA's room-
ASA: What's up? (she get's a better look at LIV's face) Did something happen? Are you okay?
LIV: I just got off the phone with my dad.
(realization dawns on ASA's face)
ASA: Come here, sit down (she pats the bed next to her).
(LIV sits down, hunched over and looking miserable)
ASA: What did he want, then?
LIV: Well it's kind of a long story. See, Ray and I have been planning this camping trip for Beltane this year, we were going to head up north a bit, stake out a patch of beach- have a few days to ourselves, you know? We've been looking forward to it all year, and Dad /knew/ that! But now he wants me to come home for the festival instead. And I mean it wouldn't be that big of an issue if my whole family weren't such utter creeps! And he's being so damned insistent about it, I just know it's going to be bad this year.
ASA: You don't /have/ to go, surely? I mean, you're an adult, he can't make you.
LIV: You don't know what he's like. I wouldn't put it past him to come down here and drag me back.
ASA: (hugs her) I'd like to see him try.
LIV: (laughs reluctantly) Thanks Asa.
#I'm never doing anything with this btw#so if you want it it's fair game#ask#cult cw#lovecraft#cthulhu mythos#lavinia whateley#asenath waite#this au also features genderswapped herbert west & dan cain as the worlds coolest lesbian couple#stoner english major randolph carter#art teacher pickman#and ed derby as a completely out-of-touch trust fund kid

She excels in her studies and is loved deeply by her classmates and friends, but earns the hatred of class representative Lavinia Herbert and the grudge of the headmistress Miss Minchin. On the day of her ninth birthday, Sara learns of her father's death and bankruptcy from an infuriated Miss Minchin, who decides to hire the orphaned girl as an unpaid maid in the school. Miss Minchin and Lavinia attempt to make Sara's life miserable and break her spirit, but with the help of her friends, Sara tries to endure all the hardships with her kindness and imagination.

SFW stuff to (hopefully) cure the brain rot:
Okay so I have this series that I'm working on and it includes:
Cthulhu runs a bar/night club because she got bored one day
Hastur runs a Chum Bucket-esque competitor bar/night club to Cthulhu's because he's an asshole
Rantep is a thing that happens and then becomes a polycule with Yhoundeh and Harley Warren
Herbert West is there and is genderfluid and autistic
Demigod offspring of the Outer Gods go on a road trip together which results in fuckery and chaos
RANTEP SLOW DANCE SCENE TO "AS THE WORLD FALLS DOWN" BY DAVID BOWIE
Dragons
Nyarlathotep is the youngest sibling out of 5 and is also depressed
I'm pretty sure every character involved is gonna be traumatized in some way by the end of this and that makes me sad
Yog-sothoth, Shub, and Lavinia Whateley polycule anyone?
The Outer Gods are actually kind of the good guys in the plot?
All of this ends up fitting into a relatively coherent story or I'm just insane idk
#me at myself: what the actual fuck?#hiding more in the tags because I'm embarrassed for even posting this tbh#part of the plot is the Outer Gods are stuck in human bodies#which is bad because Azathoth is starting to wake up which means the multiverse is starting to end#shit is fucked

Underrated Bad Guy Blurbs - Rosemary
She's an adorable 13 year old blonde orphan girl. She can not possibly be a hardcore evil villainess, can she? Oh, she can be. And she is. Ladies and gentleman, I give you Rosemary Applefield ofTomorrow's Nadja.
- General thoughts on Rosemary are summed up here , so I've said what needs to be said.
- I find Rosemary's relationship with Nadja to be full of intrigue. The two cute girls orphan girls were clearly drawn to each other and became tight friends, their hearts and minds could not be more different. I think Rosemary and Nadja's little fantasy they played out where Rosemary is the princess and Nadja is her loyal knight is a clear display of this - Rosemary wishes she were someone who was exalted, could reign over others, and have her whims catered to by others, while Nadja simply wishes to be someone who lends her service to others, who helps others. So even when Rosemary was "good", the selfishness was always there. It just took some time suffering in a role of servitude while hoping to work her way to her Cinderella Story happy ending only to learn her friend Nadja was taking the princess life, Rosemary's dream, for herself instead to make her crack and embrace total corruption of her own heart in order to advance her goals and take what she feels should be her’s, and to utterly destroy Nadja in the process. Despite this,she still likes kinda likes and cares about Nadja enough to not seek her total destruction - she just wants her to lose, to suffer, and to "learn her place." But in an ironic twist, it's Nadja's example that gets Rosemary to learn that her own place is not in the comfort of a princess's life that's been handed to her as a result of scheming, manipulation and lies, for such a life is happier and more satisfying when it's been built by hand, as a result of her own honest work towards it. The favor is returned to Nadja, who takes Rosemary's words to heart and ultimately rejects the life Duke Preminger and even her own mother had laid out for her because she wants to make her own future. So it's a messed up but ultimately inspiring dynamic and yeah, I even kinda ship it too ...
- What's also interesting in relation to the above is that in the end, Rosemary sort of ends up winning . She learns something very valuable as a direct result of her evil plans paying off for her, makes a choice to ditch this princess life on her own terms so that she can make her own future on her own terms, and she leaves the mansion on respectable terms with Nadja after having only been punished with a slap on the wrist, or rather a slap to the face. But unlike SOME OTHER VILLAINS, Rosemary pulling Karma Houdini by bowing out gracefully actually works. Her character has developed in a way that depicts her as exceptionally bright for her age and also respectable in how much dedication and effort she puts into things and how diabolical she is, and even though she views herself as the heroine in her own story, she is entirely self aware of how much of her innocence she's lost and how low she's sunk to the whole way through. So when she manages to sidestep a moment of comeuppance due to her self-reflection, it does manage to gel with the character and it feels like an earned outcome. Apparently many viewers in Japan thought so too, as in the ultimate of ironies, Rosemary went on to beat Nadja in the final round of a Moe Popularity Contest AND receive less votes than Nadja herself in a "Anime characters that you never forgive" poll. Wow Poor Nadja!
- In terms of design and her role as the evil foil to the main heroine, Rosemary seems heavily based on orphanage Alpha Bitch and shitposting icon Lavinia Herbert from Princess Sara.
- Rosemary also got her own Image Song in an audio drama. And it's a damn good one too!

For OC ask meme: All of them, yes, all of them. Lavinia and Bee!
that’s NOT a haiku h but you know what i’ll allow it
Do they sleep with a stuffed animal? If they have multiple, who’s the favorite?
Nah. Lavinia doesn't have a home in which to keep them, and she hates going to sleep.
Bee really likes ducks, but so far Ingrid hasn't had the time to buy one for her that's suitably stuffed. And sleeping with a rubber duck is juuuust uncomfortable.
Can they take care of a plant? What about a pet? What about a child?
Lavinia is capable of doing all those things if instructed, but generally she would prefer to avoid the extra responsibilities.
Bee is eight and her parents wouldn't let her near any of those things, so no.
Ask them to describe their love interest.
Lavinia: “He’s... y’know. He does his best. I guess that's admirable. But he just doesn’t know how to quit, and I’m not interested in babysitting a man who’d tries to lay down his life for the greater good once a week.”
Bee: [is eight]
Do they look good in red?
Lavinia probably does? I should try drawing her in that some time.
Bee does not. She hates wearing red, and generally only does so because it’s the generic Australian public school uniform colour. or we’re playing betrayal
Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech! Will they give one, and what about?
Lavinia probably wouldn’t give a speech if asked, but definitely has several prepared for when she needs to lay into someone or dump some exposition. (I really love writing dramatic-ass scenes in my head that will probably never come to light in the game proper)
Bee gets stage fright in show and tell.
Who will they take advice from, no matter what it is? Who won’t they take advice from, no matter what it is?
Lavinia always takes orders from her Patron, no matter how good or bad. It’s what lead her to join the party, its what lead her to Herbert’s house, and its what got her killed. She doesn’t take advice from anyone who refused hers in the past, and is waaaaaay less inclined to talk to Paladins than most other people.
Bee considers Finch to be a weird aunt-like figure and generally follows her advice. She sometimes listens to Ingrid, but given their rocky relationship she’s more inclined to ignore her out of pettiness. She doesn’t like anyone else at the motel. At all.
Describe them in three words. Now let them describe themself in three words.
Lavinia is loyal, exhausted, and incompetent. Bee is confused, stubborn and lonely.
If you were to ask Lavinia, she’d say “Illusionist for hire.” If you asked Bee, she’d say “I’m short, eight, and uh... nice!”
Do complex puzzles intrigue or frustrate them?
Both of them are more inclined to cutting the knot than untying it, so to speak. Lavinia CAN solve complicated puzzles, but it's time she feels can be spent doing other things.
Bee gets frustrated and bored quickly.
Do they empathize with non-sentient things (dolls, plants, books…)?
Lavinia isn’t the sentimental type, but she understands what these things mean to other people and has been known to get upset if they’re destroyed.
Bee doesn’t own dolls, but she does enact rather elaborate melodrama plotlines using whatever’s lying around as the actors.
What age do they most want to be right now?
Lavinia doesn’t know how to answer that question.
Bee wants to be 20 so she doesn't have to be stuck living with stupid Ingrid any more and also so she can go to those movies where stuff blows up a lot.
They’ve won the lottery. Spend, or save?
Lavinia would spend it all immediately. Life’s short and it’s not like she’s gonna be able to hang onto it after she dies.
Ingrid would put that money in a bank account and Bee would get upset that she wasn't allowed to buy a Nintendo Switch.
Do they like romance in the books they read (or in the book they’re in)?
Lavinia has a tendency to read pulp romance or smut to laugh at it.
Bee is eight. She likes dragons.
Name one thing their parents taught them.
Lavinia gained her faith, and her ability to (poorly) aim a crossbow.
Bee learned that adults really don’t like it if you ask a lot of questions.
Would they agree with the term ‘guilty pleasure’? Do they have any?
Lavinia wouldn’t because she’s absolutely fuckin’ shameless. She likes what she likes. She reads the Lusty Argonian Maid in public. What’s it to ya.
Bee doesn’t know what that is. She is eight. She has big plans for her Yoshi OCs.
What would they consider a waste of time– other than school or work?
Lavinia considers most things a waste of time - it’s part of the reason she’s always so goddamn annoying.
Bee doesn’t understand why she has to live at this motel. She doesn’t want to go home, but she doesn’t want to be here either.
If money wasn’t a limit, what would they wear?
Lavinia would probably be wearing whatever it is she’s wearing right now. Dressing low-key is important for her lifestyle of being a lying, stealing little shit of an adventurer.
Bee thinks she would like to wear a superhero outfit maybe.
Do they like children?
Lavinia is indifferent to them. She has no interest in having them, and will generally avoid them if given the option. But she's never rude to them if she can avoid it.
Bee is eight. Her classmates are okay, she guesses.
Kissing: tongue or no tongue?
Lavinia would prrrrobably go for the tongue.
Bee is eight.
Do they study before tests? Practice before job interviews?
Lavinia cheats on both.
Bee is eight.
What do they like that nobody else does?
Not sure about Lavinia, but Bee is waaaay more into trading card games than anyone at the motel. She tries to explain the rules to Ingrid sometimes, but it’s always a different explanation each time...
What would it take for them to break up with someone? What would be the last straw?
Lavinia’s pretty jaded, and doesn’t get into relationships easily. The fastest way to break up with her is to press too deeply into her past, or get murdered by her.
Bee is eight.
Do they like being called pet names? Do they call other people pet names? What’s their go-to?
Lavinia prefers being called by whatever name it is she’s going by this week. Pet names from her are a rarity, and are rarely more creative than “sweetie”. (She never uses sweetie sarcastically.)
Bee is eight.
Stability or novelty?
Bee wants stability. Lavinia cannot decide.
Honesty or charity?
Lavinia is generally rather honest, barring a few things about her past.
Bee likes giving people things so they can feel nice sometimes.
Safety or possibility?
Lavinia wants things to be possible.
Bee is tired of possibilities and just wants to know she’s safe.
Talent or effort?
Lavinia wants both.
Bee isn't sure.
Forgiveness or vengeance (or…)?
Lavinia isn't really sure if she wants vengeance any more, but it's kind of her job so she’s sticking to it.
Bee is eight. Like a lot of eight year olds, she can be petty and mean when she's upset, but I don't think it ever goes into vengeance.
Would they date a fixer-upper?
Lavinia dealt with Adam, didn't she?
Bee is Eight.
What recurring dreams do they have?
Lavinia doesn’t generally have dreams, although her Patron does have a tendency to contact her while she’s unconscious. She... prefers not to go to sleep.
Bee sometimes has nightmares about being chased by Booker DeWitt.
What would they do if they knew it would be forgiven?
Lavinia would quit adventuring. Unfortunately, that will never happen.
Bee would yell at people for a very long time and maybe also cry. Also she’d say the fuck word.
