Hello, Dear! You've Been Visited By The Random Character Question Fairy! :D ~

Hello, dear! You've been visited by the random character question fairy! :D ~β˜†

How jumpy is your character? Do they get upset when startled?

this is a good question πŸ‘€ we'll branch out to my DA oc this time too!

tharya, my ldb is pretty jumpy - loud or sudden noises when she isn't paying attention (or even sometimes when she is) make her flinch or jump. not because she's actually scared of them, but because her brain is so used to hearing loud noises and immediately needing to get up and run or defend herself, they make her body jump into action. she very rarely gets upset by it, but it definitely ups her heartbeat. (being easily startled is a small symptom of PTSD iirc)

bhijirio, another skyrim oc, is somewhat similar to tharya. he's khajiit and a bounty hunter, so he's accustomed to listening for small noises and paying close attention to his surroundings. that way he doesn't really flinch, per se, (though his ears almost always flick in some way when he hears odd noises), but usually he will look up & look around to see if he can pinpoint the source of said noise. he never really is upset by it.

miraak, though, is pretty hard to ruffle. he usually jumps "internally", lets himself be startled by things on the inside, but never lets it show on the outside. sometimes his eyebrow or shoulder will jump if he's less alert - and specific noises will always make him leap away (i.e. anything that sounds like something falling behind him, explosions, or even whispering close by, most are reminders of herma-mora). miraak gets grumpy about it and will gripe if he feels it necessary.

azriel, my inquisitor, is a healthy, normal amount of jumpy. she will flinch at unexpected loud sounds, etc, mostly out of habit or a natural reflex. most things don't scare her, but she'll still react to them anyway. as a warrior she's very accustomed to taking constant survey of the land around her and reacting immediately, both in fights and to noises around her. she doesn't bother to hide it and usually gets a good chuckle out of it.

sebastian, though technically not an oc, i felt right to include bc of some personal headcanons. his hearing in his left ear had been damaged by the chantry explosion, so on his left side he can't hear small noises, etc. things like explosions will obv come through, but the sound of a glass dropping and breaking will likely be distant enough that he won't jump, just look around to see what it was. that aside, he jumps at very big, unexpected noises and explosions especially - he's somewhat paranoid of being caught in another since the chantry. he rarely gets upset and instead will want to know what happened and if everyone/thing is okay.

I'm a little down at the moment so I decided to make this little game to indulge in my OCs and for you all to indulge too because it's winter.

Does your OC have any endearing qualities?

Forehead kisses or hand kisses?

Do they like oversized jumpers?

What calms they down most when they're anxious?

What makes them blush?

What Disney/musical song do you most associate with them?

Animated Fancast?

Your OC is surrounded by puppies/kittens/ducklings. What do they do?

Do they talk to their pets?

What's a childhood memory they cherish most?

Are they a romantic at heart?

What's the most touching gift they've ever received?

What's their favourite item of clothing?

What's their most treasured possessions?

Do they have a comfort food? Who makes it best?

How do they cheer up a friend when they're down?

What's a guilty pleasure of theirs?

Is your character a bookworm?

Does your character have a particular sweet/candy they love?

Who knows how they like their tea/coffee/(insert drink) best?

Do they like to have a lie in or do rise early?

Does your OC wrap themselves into a burrito to sleep or do they get tangled in the sheets?

Does your OC like to cuddle their significant other when they sleep? If so, who is the little spoon? Would they admit it if asked?
