2, 9, 18, 24, 29, 32 for Ranni!

( Asks from this ( x ) meme)

2) Did you always like this character?

It actually took me some time! I am physically incapable of 'not caring' about any character, but at first I was as close to that state as I could be! Just that 'one of the main characters' deal with whom I had to patiently wait when something would click with me about her! And, well, it did, when I learned the full extent of her story and motivations!

9) Does this character remind you of anyone you know? Does that affect how you see them?

When I was 13, I had a close female friend who was closely tsundere-ish, secretive, extremely shrewd and even machiavellian! She had quite the reasonable takes on how the world and society worked, and cherished the dreams of somehow dismantling it. She even had cold and winter theme as her aesthetic (before we started to use this term)! She was so good at reading people that she could instantly guess my house situation despite me never even dropping hints online, let alone just sharing with anyone! And tried to find my step dad irl contacts to ruin him, in secrecy for me... How I wish her plan worked. x) The thing is, whereas that friend indeed was similar (excluding war crimes! .....as far as I know fhhfds), we haven't spoken in decade, and she is not occupying my mind space anymore. Forgotten until prompted. It is only right now, as I am typing this response, that I realise Ranni is similar to that person! So, whereas that friend doesn't effect how I vision Ranni, she might start to from this moment. :^)

18) Do you prefer to see this character suffer or know peace? Angst or comfort? Both?

Imagining her happy and peaceful is actually hard for me! She is just TOO far up the dark path. Machiavellism and weight of crimes she learned to accept feels like her very being. She is suffering, it is clear to see, but she is very cold and stoic against it. I prefer the angst for the character, but it feels like just proceeding with the canon than inflicting it. But on a smaller scale, I do enjoy peaceful moments with her depicted, like being silly with Blaidd, or, again, her younger years with family, especially Rykard!

24) Do you ever dream about this character? If so, describe a dream you once had about them.

No! She only appeared in a dream very briefly, once, without bearing on the plot besides giving me some sort of a very big key (like half of my height fsdh). I don't remember the context!

29) Do you affectionately bully this character?

I enjoy the "war criminal" joke here and there, of course XD And a few times I joke about her being 'edgy kid' or 'tsundere gf'! It is not something I dwell on often, because I do keep in mind the complexity of the situation and the gravity of the things she understood! I don't bully her more than say, Aldrich or Fauxsefka: it lasts for exactly 5 seconds before I remind myself and all 2 people that enjoy my posts that 'well aktyaly' these are very complex and their actions are strangely justified within their own setting and context, and it is so much about The Whole Thing and them having the spine to take up the quest against morality as they know it for greater thing, than about their own history. Basically the jokes are to lighten the mood for otherwise very serious character!

32) If you could make this character a meal, what would you make them?

I feel like she is used to most of the 'exquisite' meals, especially seafood ones living near Liurnia (so sorry, Boggart, no need for your help with this one :( ). I would opt for something that combines meat and fruit/berries!

It is hard to explain, I just feel like she'd appreciate the combination! (Also searching images was a mistake... now I feel so hungry that it makes me dizzy ;-;)
