@spadessilck sent in askmeme stuff off tumblr, since tumblr's being a dick to him. If anyone else tried sending asks... well, they probably got eaten. This is part 1: numbers 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 for Teyja. (it strays a bit from just being 'description' at times, whoops.

2- Parent (mother Yala). Teyja had changed since Yala had last seen her. She'd gotten scars (poor child), she stood straighter, there was confidence in her voice. But Yala was pretty sure she was still a scared little girl, really. She could still see all the litte tells that hadn't gone away, and Teyja was clearly on the verge of panic. She claimed she was happier, doing better now, but was she? She could be stubborn, Teyja could, and Yala suspected she would absolutely stay in a bad situation and refuse to admit the problem just to spite her mother. It had happened before. It was a pattern- Teyja would get herself involved in something she shouldn't, then she'd get hurt, then she'd refuse to admit that there was a problem, and that maybe, just maybe, it was a bad bloody idea. It was frightening, knowing that her daughter simply refused to be protected. Refused to learn. Joining the hunters hadn't been enough (she'd ended up losing a leg, for the Pantheon's sake, and still kept up the pretense, still told her she didn't regret a thing) whatever cultist nonsense had happened hadn't been enough (she wouldn't even come home after that, not to her own mother, the stubborn girl) and now she was trying to fight the Pantheon itself. Yala was terrified of how Teyja would get hurt this time. And she had the audacity to criticize Yala for trying to stop her! She'd proven time and again that she could NOT take care of herself. Someone had to do it.

4- Someone who loves her (this is an absolute cop-out but loving someone as a friend counts, fight me.) Hm. Teyja was... unusual, definitely, in that she had a strange energy to her. Infectious. Usually, people like her exhausted Bird, but he actually felt better around her. She had a way of talking that made people interested, even when they didn't understand half of what she said. Bird had already picked up a fair bit of basic magic theory from her, and he knew a few others had too. She was warm, friendly, clever. Sometimes she was a bit too clever, going faster than anyone could keep up with until she realised she'd confused them, but, well, that was alright. Not Bird's favorite thing, but he couldn't expect her to be perfect.

6- Antagonist (a non-human entity known as the Truth). The girl was an annoyance, of that the Truth was certain. She was stubborn. She did not listen. She hated the Truth, hated the entire pantheon, and this was to be expected, for humans were bitter and ungrateful as a rule, but at least most had the decency to hate quietly as they bowed before the Truth. Those that didn't had to be dealt with. This one was a loose end, touched by the Truth but still functional, mostly. Infuriating, as all such loose ends are. She had been taken in for her skill. Ha! Skill! The child fancied herself a mage, toyed with forces of nature that no human could understand, and what she made was so weak and unstable it mocked the potential of the power she tried to harness. Impressive to their minds, maybe, but objectively a joke. She was a fool. The Truth knew this, and the Truth was sure that the girl did too, but she persisted nonetheless. Human stubbornness. Despicable. She was broken and idiotic and pointless and human and the Truth hated her, as the Truth hated them all, for living anyway.

8- Psych evaluation. Teyja Honeyhall is, first of all, suffering from mild mental exposure to a higher entity, in this case manifesting as depressive episodes. She insists that this does not interfere with her work, and while this clearly isn't entirely true, it is not a major obstacle. Honeyhall also shows low self-esteem, and has clearly been affected by the cultural emphasis on combat, valuing those skills far over her knowledge of magic, which is, frankly, to be expected from someone who willingly gets involved in fighting higher entities. She gets very defensive when her skills or her value to the team are questioned, and she responds poorly to people worrying about her well-being, taking it as an insult, but the rest of the team seems to have adapted to this by now. I would have advised against her addition to the team, but she seems to be functioning well enough, and it actually seems to have a positive influence on her.

10-Young relative (sister). I don't really know Tey that well, 'cause she doesn't like to be home much. I think they think I can't tell, but Tey and Mom are all weird around each other, like they don't like to see each other but they do it anyway. I dunno why they make it a whole thing, Tey said she doesn't want to lose touch with me and Dad said it's important for sisters to be close but I'm pretty sure I could just visit her where she lives now. She says it's dangerous but that's what people say about here too! She's always been really nice to me but she's kinda... um... she says things that kinda worry me sometimes. Like I was telling her about my day one time when she was here, telling her about going on a trip with Mom, and the stuff we talked about, and she got really serious all of a sudden and she said I shouldn't let Mom tell me what to think, and if I do I might get hurt. Stuff like that. Mom says Tey is a bit weird in the head because she fights monsters but my friend Kee says that's not how it works at all. Kee's really smart and she knows EVERYTHING about fighting because her mom and dad are monster hunters. I don't know. I like Tey, she's smart and nice and she brings me cool stuff whenever she comes over, I just wish she'd get along with Mom more.

Note

personality ask: 3 khoren, 1 all of them, 2 also all of them xP, 9 khoren, 10 treyja

3: If confronted with the need to choose: goodness or kindness? Do they believe in a distinction between the two?Khoren believes that there’s a distinction and suspects that he’s not great at either. He’d go with goodness if he needs to choose.

9: Unless all of your characters have devoted a lot of time to puzzling out their philosophy, no one’s perfectly consistent. How are they hypocritical? Where do they contradict themself? Will they be challenged on it?Khoren… is at least self-aware enough to know no one’s perfectly consistent, so if he’s challenged on it he’s not likely to have THAT much of a crisis. As for the actual inconsistencies? Well, those mostly revolve around his fight-me tendencies. He thinks he’s fine, but if he met someone exactly as aggressive as he is, he’d probably call them out on it! And if he already dislikes you, he’ll be far harsher on your flaws, starting shit over stuff he’d accept easily from anyone else.

10: How does their personality present conflicts and challenges in their setting/story?Teyja is unlikely to ask for help when it comes to her areas of expertise, or problems she’s responsible for, or problems she THINKS she’s responsible for, or emotional issues, you get the idea. Even when she really needs the help.

1: Which deadly sin are they?Khoren is wrath, if it’s not clear why see point 9.Teyja has a very fragile sort of pride in most things, and a solid, hard-to-shake pride in her knowledge of magic, especially offensive magic.Mila would be envy. She tends to be somewhat bitter about the things she doesn’t get to have.Bird… Bird’s major faults wouldn’t really count as sins. Hm. He’s got kinda low self-esteem, an ‘aw i’m not as good as everyone else’ that could turn into ‘ugh everyone else is better than me’ in the right context. And with how much he looks up to Mila, yeah, I think envy is the closest.

2: Which of the seven virtues are they?assuming Prudence, Justice, Courage, Temperance, Faith, Hope and Charity, since wikipedia seems to say there’s 2 versions?Khoren is courage, he’s hard to scare and pretty good at acting despite fear if you do manage to frighten him.Mila is prudence, she always strives for rationality and self-control.Bird is charity, he’s a massive bloody Hufflepuff he doesn’t know what he’s doing but he would very much like to help everyone.Teyja is courage. Lot less of the 'this is fine I’m not afraid at all’, lot more of the 'oh this is fucking terrifying but i refuse to let that stop me’. Oh hey Bird and his mentor figure match sins but Teyja and her mentor figure match virtues what a lovely parallel.
