1. How do they move and carry themselves? Pace, rhythm, gestures, energy?
Saima has a fairly smooth and controlled kind of way of movement. It feels natural when they move or something – but there’s something about their gestures that feels a little languid, a little bit like opening up a little bit to people through their actions.
Their rhythm adjusts to the energy of their surroundings – so that they try to keep up with wherever they might be on a given moment. In general though, they keep a brisk walking pace and trying to move in an efficient matter.
Their energy is quieter, it increases during certain periods but – for the most part, they maintain a very calm and relaxed presence. It feels like these days they can be collected and put-together despite everything that might being going on within their minds.
12. How are they bodily expressive? How do they use nonverbal cues such as their posture, stance, eyes, eyebrows, mouths, and hands?
They do a lot of expression through their eyes. It’s very easy for someone to tell how Saima really feels through they look at someone – narrowing eyes, widened eyes, averted glances. All those things have a meaning in terms of how Saima is actually reacting to.
Their mouth they try to keep a neutral look with – but they have been known to give a slight grimace or a slight grin in a reaction to something.
Saima tends to use a lot of subtle nonverbal cues because they don’t really feel like talking all that much. So in the way they shift their posture, the way they use their hands to just to signal a pause of shock- they can be rather expressive.
18. What kind of person could they become in the future? What are some developmental paths that they could take, (best, worst, most likely?) what would cause them to come to pass, and what consequences might they have? What paths would you especially like to see, and why?
Saima is looking to become more of a confident and self-affirming person. Developing in the best route – they could be more comfortable in their own skin and more like to change in a way that makes sense to them. Additionally, best consequences with their people doing better leads to them feeling stronger and more willing to take more of a direct route. Worst – they start to withdraw further and further from those around them. Although they’ll continue to try and be comfortable – fear might keep them from being the person they need to be.
Most likely – They’ll try to face any oncoming crises with grace and calm while trying to reach out for help at more drastic measures. I’d like to see them become more comfortable with themselves because I really need them to be a little more happier with themselves for real.
22. How do people respond to them, and why might these responses differ?
People from their own land tend to feel a natural comfort around them mixed with a bit of wonder since they can tell that something is different and almost ethereal about them. There is a feeling that somehow they came out of the mythos of their land even if there is an inability to describe it.
To other humans, Saima probably comes across as somewhat strange and maybe a little bit difficult to get a hold on. They tend to react to them with a little bit of caution – treating them as something like a human with this kind of instinctive uncanny valley feeling that doesn’t always get expressed.
Obviously, the differences come from whether or not Saima is naturally associated with the people within a given area.
23. How do they respond to difficult social moments? What makes them consider a social situation difficult?
Saima tends to remain quiet and internally withdraw from difficult social moments. They may become a lot more aloof to those around them and respond in brief ways to cut off things shorter. If possible, they tend to actually leave the area of such a social moment because it’s just a lot and they don’t care to be around it.
Usually the feeling of being inadequate around others makes social situation difficult, and they often leave discussions if they feel alienated and just not a part of the audience that it is addressed to – if it’s really binary in nature, it tends to make them just kind of shift in their seat and glance out the nearest window as a distraction.
32. Do they have any “props” that are a significant part of their life, identity, activities, or self-presentation somehow? What are they, how are they used, and why are they so significant? How would these props’ absence impact them, how would they compensate, and why?
Maybe the closest thing would be musical instruments – kannel, piano – or musical choir books. They would be highly attached to them because music is pretty crucial to their identity and making them feel comfortable in their surroundings. These instruments are used for making music which they take a lot of joy and comfort in.
In the absence of them – Saima just hums to them a lot, or listens to a lot of music on their phone. They just feel the need to have music nearby in any situation that it can be afforded.
Otherwise, little accessories might help affirm the way that they’ve been changing to fit a better and more accurate self.
