A: Aptitude
1. what are your oc’s natural abilities, things they’ve been doing since young?
Natural abilities: shapeshifting, traveling between realms, influencing their environment, elemental and energy magic, being able to speak in a way that persuades people, singing, storytelling, survival, protecting others, moving quickly
2. what activities have they participated in?
teaching others, spreading traditions and folklore, fighting for their people, hiding secrets from those that seek to hurt others, bringing comfort, being a muse to people, acting as a representative
3. what abilities do they have that they’ve worked for?
playing multiple instruments, writing, some dancing, cooking, teaching, negotiating other societies, styling themselves
4. what things are they bad at?
Sharing their own experiences honestly, trusting people, being truly open, sometimes focusing (they can get their head in other places for a bit), being in really crowded and loud spaces for a long time – if they are not prepared to be, being assertive sometimes
5. what is their most impressive talent?
Singing? Their voice is literally divine. But maybe their ability to make an impression and inspire others.
C: Comfort
1. how do they sit in a chair?
It depends. If out in public, they’ll sit up straight and fairly ‘proper’. But at home, sometimes they’ll have their legs over the side of the chair or they’ll sit upside down, or crossed legged in the chair. Or just on the floor. Or lie on the couch lazily. It really depends.
2. in what position do they sleep?
On their side, usually with a blanket wrapped around them.
3. what is their ideal comfort day?
Mostly wandering through the woods, with some time spend by the sea. If they’re lucky, they’ll catch a local performance in the midst when they want to be in town.
4. what is their major comfort food? why?
Rye bread. Because it is everything, goes with everything. And has a lot of personal meaning to them.
5. who is the best at comforting them when down?
…It depends? They’ll probably try to find someone who’s lived for a while since their issues can often come from having that extended life and coping with the fact that they’ve only gotten to really enjoy it in recent memory.
L: Lemons
1. what is their favorite fruit?
maybe apples. They’ll eat most fruits – as long as it’s fresh, Saima is likely to enjoy it.
2. what is their least favorite fruit?
I don’t think they really have one. Just fruit they haven’t had a chance to try.
3. are there any foods they hate?
They aren’t a fan of super processed food – so if they can’t actually taste that there is actual food and effort put into the thing, they might not be into it that much.
4. do they have any food intolerances?
No food tolerances.
5. what is their favorite food?
Rye bread. But also semla is a pretty great treat for them.
What brings Saima the most joy in the world?
I think the sharing of stories, the transmission of memories, of myths, of creations from the past brings them a lot of satisfaction. In song, in performances, in writing, in plays – any form of creation that allows for the transmissions of stories that may otherwise be lost and/or hidden are especially precious to Saima. As are those who are dedicated to making sure that people continue to hear these stories which shaped the way they see the world and their homeland.
note on physical change
Because a lot of Saima’s dysphoria had derived from their privates while they were presenting and read as a man. So due to that, once they started pursuing their true self, relearning what they could really do to alter their appearance and forms – they used some shifting spells to change the source of their discomfort to a form they are now much more comfortable with. – so roughly equivalent to a post op (bottom surgery) deal. These changes also accompanied the change in facial features.
Most of their body didn’t change too much outside of a slight softening of features and a somewhat more defined waistline and more noticeable but still fairly slender hips.
RULES: post 5-10 songs that you would find in your muse’s song library. BOLD any favorites, italicize any songs that hold a personal meaning for them (ex: it makes them feel nostalgic), BOLD + ITALICIZE any guilty pleasure songs/bands.
*note: if your muse doesn’t listen to music, give us a list of what they would like!

In general, Saima tends to like for people just what they choose to tell them and maybe let folks figure out more from there. But a major thing that they don’t really want people to know about is the ways that they consumed hearts of comrades in their younger, younger days – when they were getting used to maintaining a physical form. It had been partially survival, partially finding something to carry the memories of those friends with them. In such ritual consumption, they preserved the memories of those few they roamed with.
Also – they’re not entirely opposed to doing so again if it came down to it. But that’s not something they like going around mentioning.

THEIR PROFESSION: mythic folklore-based deity, works as programmer, also teaches music and various other tutoring lessons, runs errands for people.
WHERE THEY CAN BE FOUND: in the woods, in liminal spaces, in coffee shops, at their home, running errands, around artists, eccentrics and children
FAVOURITE FOOD TYPE: rye bread. Bread in general is great but rye, rye is forever. Vegetables are also a solid second place – along with fish.
FAVOURITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK: Vana Tallinn, along with various local beers and hard liquors
FAVOURITE TRAIT: intelligent, kind, somehow otherworldly also helps

HOW MANY DATES UNTIL THEY GO TO BED: Depends. It’s not like they’re in a hurry but also not opposed to intimacy either. They’ve got to get comfortable with you either way.

My favorite thing about Saima’s appearance.. there’s a bit but I really like their eyes. They’re very bright and especially when they have the reverse coloring thing of blue-green background and white irises – it’s incredibly piercing. I just like the general not quite present vibe that they have at all times. It leaves an impression that many may not have the words to describe.
Favorite outfit – I’m really enjoying having them in casual sheath dresses with leggings, or when in jeans having long sweaters. I generally really delight in having Saima in layering outfits since it’s fun to experiment with details on their frame.
