“You are so damn goofy these days… Not that it’s a bad thing, per say.”
VISUAL ATTRACTIVENESS: 💗💗💗💗💗
(purely aesthetic appreciation of looks)
💗💗💗
[Saima thinks Milda is rather pretty in a purely aesthetic sense.]
FRIENDSHIP LEVEL: 💗💗💗💗💗
(how close a friend they consider them)
💗💗💗
[ They’ve been good enough associates over the years although there is a lot that Saima has been reserving from Milda and isn’t certain whether they should actually tell her. Nonetheless, they do enjoy spending time with her.]
SEXUAL DESIRE: 💗💗💗💗💗

[Not really interested in all that. ]
ROMANTIC INTENT: 💗💗💗💗💗

[They’re chill. I think Saima is interested in hanging out with Ivar more since they’re both not quite fitting in a lot of spaces.]
SEXUAL DESIRE: 💗💗💗💗💗

[Ivar is highly committed to someone else and so Saima has literally no interest at the moment.]
ROMANTIC INTENT: 💗💗💗💗💗
(hoping for a romantic relationship)
💔
[Same here. They respect boundaries of others’ involvement and usually that tends to put a damper on any feelings that could develop.]

[very, very good friend. One of the few they can trust with their secrets and so much more. They are always rooting for Jaakko, always.]

[Nah. Jaakko is spoken for and that immediately puts a kibosh on anything Saima might have remotely considered.]

How does your muse handle their emotions? Do they bottle them up or pour them out as soon as they start to feel?
Saima tends to deal with their emotions privately, not always being comfortable dealing with telling people how they feel. They might channel their emotions into writing or creating music. Occasionally, they will confide in a close friend about how they feel but they don’t like burdening themselves on others.
🌺 – Does your muse have a favorite flower? Why do they like it?
Saima will always have a preference for cornflowers. It’s associated with a lot of stories and became known as a national flower. Additionally, they do like wildflowers as they have good memories associated with wildflowers in the fields – long, long ago.
Medea: What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done out of spite?
“Probably murder.” Way to be entirely too matter of fact about that. “Spite is sometimes an uncomfortably strong motivator, I have to admit. But I’m pretty sure that’s the worst thing I’ve done out of pure spite. ” It was at least partially out of self-defense, but Saima is still willing to admit when their actions weren’t really justified enough to go that far.
Medusa: Have you ever been punished with anything you feel you didn’t deserve?
“People trying to burn me alive for being a witch was probably something I didn’t deserve. I mean, I was probably so much worse than that – if they had been able to find out the truth. Sometimes rumor and beliefs doesn’t fall in my favor but it’s the risk many take just to continue existing.”
Oedipus: With hindsight, what’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?
“I’m still on the murder thing – but I guess a particularly bad case was when I joined in the fighting against those who were trying to forcibly Christianize people. Encouraging burning people is probably not a great thing to do.
There was also something I did as a kid, that was pretty gross and horrifying but the less detail I go about that, the better as far as I’m concerned.” It had to do a lot with what they were capable of eating.
Pandora: What is the worst gift you’ve ever received?
“Worst gift? The chance to be an entertainer for court life during the medieval era. Although I had some good times, working for some of those people was not entirely enjoyable. And frankly, the environment was way too stuff considering I knew how all the people in my land were still not getting enough to survive. So I found myself sneaking away during the night quite often to do my best.”
Persephone: What is your favourite season?
“I feel like I have a connection with all of them for different reason. But I guess summer is one I actually really enjoy because it feels like everyone brings out a different side of themselves during that time. And I know the way that everyone gets into old traditions definitely invigorates me with an extra strong energy during those times. ”
Zeus: What thing are you most hypocritical of?
“While I try not to be a hypocrite, I do feel like I can be one about people indulging in petty fights about things I don’t feel like actually matter. When I am probably in no position to judge all that harshly myself. So I do try to shut up and keep to myself instead even when I am a little peeved by what I see.”
Alexandros: Have there ever been repercussions to your actions you regret?
“Definitely. Mostly there were certainly issues that arose when I tried to intervene on the behalf of individuals during rough times of occupation and subjugation – but I ended up trying to take the blame for others because I knew I would survive. It only seemed to make the consequences worse for those individuals in the immediate aftermath. I just, I do feel a little bad for that despite my best efforts to try and help -within the context of human society, it doesn’t really..work at times.”
Aphrodite: Have you ever fallen in love with someone you’d never have expected to feel for?
“Haha. For sure. And I’m just surprised everytime I even bother getting feelings for someone. It’s been such a relative rarity for me over the years that it does feel a bit special and somewhat terrifying about these situations. ”
Ares: What angers you the most?
“Condescending attitudes are an easy way to get on my bad side. But also people not treating those who create with respect, disrespecting the homeland that I care about… things like that tend to be pretty upsetting.”
Demeter: What would you most grieve for if it was taken from you?
“I think I would grieve for the loss of nature to spend time in. I probably could survive otherwise – but I think the lack of homegrown natural places to really relax and unwind would be a real loss for me. Especially since I use those places as a way to connect with my origins a lot of the time.”
Hephaestus: Are you particularly skilled at any crafts? If so, which?
“I can paint a little bit. And I’ve done handy work with stone related crafting over the years. But I think outside of fixing things and music, my skills tend to focus a lot on maintain growth and agriculture really. I’m not sure if that counts for all that much though. I’ve sewn a few things – maybe that’s something.”
Hestia: Where do you feel most at home?
“Forests, near lakes and other bodies of water, fields, most liminal spaces where time doesn’t really feel real. So natural or vaguely otherworldly spaces tend to be where I feel mostly at home. Since it is in those spaces that I can unveil myself for a little while at a time. I need that kind of thing regularly. Of course, private spaces are decent for that too. ”

“Hmm. I’m liking to go both of them. Just to get all that attention you possibly can. ” It seems like they were always a fan of bold choices, at least on others. For themselves, Saima just operated under the thought no one wanted to see that and for the most part, hadn’t been wrong.

“Oh, oh that’s a really difficult question for me. Actually, I suppose the earliest in a physical form was a couple thousand years ago when I manifested among what was starting to become a village. Of course, I appeared during when people were passing down tales of lost creatures and something – so if that wasn’t a telling moment, I don’t know what was.
But before that.. I had memories of what people still repeat as folktales. Of giants, of stars falling to earth and creating islands from their landing. Of a mythic king completing journeys across the land in order to rule. Of devils trying to trick people and being tricked in return. I remember those things – but it’s not exactly a traditional memory as most people would describe it.”
