Character Question 21

Character Question 21

How do they deal with stress?

Bella: She'll read and read and read. She loves it and it's a perfect distraction. However, she also tends to repress, but she has less control. She won't have any outbursts, but she'll be quieter than usual and may swallow sobs during an intense conversation or if she's tired. She'll pause more frequently, but her voice won't crack, her words won't waver. Very few people can tell when she's stressed, and it takes a lot to coax it out of her and to sort through the issues.

Freddie: He will make and experiment to distract himself. He might come out of his lab with scorched eyebrows and blue fingertips, it wouldn't be surprising. You've seen this done before - when he heard Zach was coming, he immediately went to work on Cap's shield.

Zach: He'll practice whatever sport he's focusing on at that point. He will do it until his fingers are bloody and he's almost worn through his shoes unless the stress stops. He also loses control more often - he feels obligated to be cheerful, so he tries to repress the negativity, leading to bigger outbursts.

Character Question 19

What is in their pockets?

Bella: she has a mini toolkit and a Swiss army knife. She also has a photo of her family by the beach. This is only applicable on the rare occasion she doesn't have her toolbelt on her.

Freddie: a periodic table from his first science fair that he went to with his parents. He also has the gold block from his element blocks.

Zach: the smallest stuffed animal (a blue sheep) from his collection and one of his dad's old badges.

I'm going to edit this later to include the morning routine for my characters, cos this is a brilliant idea for character development.

morning routines

nyx and juni wake up relatively early every day (usually, nyx wakes up first and just cuddles with juni for a bit to wake her up,, couple goals) and they make a Healthy breakfast together. nyx is pretty hopeless at cooking in the beginning, but juni is a very good teacher

lynn also wakes up early, but she does not love social interaction first thing in the morning, so she usually just reads while eating a piece of toast or something simple

violetta would wake up slightly early, but it’s still too late for her to eat breakfast since she spends a lot of time finding a cute outfit and putting on makeup. so usually, she just makes herself an iced coffee that she drinks during her first class (“all part of a complete breakfast!”)

aster goes to sleep very late and would like to sleep in. unfortunately, she is a light sleeper and shares a room with dawn (who wakes up early). as a result, aster is forced awake pretty early as well. she eats a simple breakfast (she doesn’t like to skip meals as a general rule) and makes herself a hot coffee which she drinks during school

violetta and aster would argue with each other about the merits of iced coffee versus hot coffee. every morning. it becomes a tradition, and the argument eventually becomes very flirtatious

tora wakes up Just before school and rushes to get dressed and look somewhat presentable. if she doesn’t have any time to spare, she’ll just grab a single heavily caffeinated energy drink (tora’s not allowed to have more than one after the Incident that ended up with her staying up for a solid four days and sleeping for five). if she does have time, tora makes herself a cup of tea (her brother taught her how to make tea and she always thinks about him while making it) and eats some type of dessert or chips

dawn wakes up very early and has a very sophisticated breakfast of toast and jam. she makes herself a cup of coffee (using her expensive coffee maker, of course), and she makes patterns in the foam. yes, dawn is extra and, yes, she’s upset that she doesn’t have a chef to make her breakfast anymore, but she will persevere somehow

Even if it's because of spite, live another day

We're totally going to do that at some point. Totally, definitely won't take forever.
