stillness, canvas, day, arms, and favorite for my bitch wife mellita

hiiiiiiii thank u for the question :0

stillness: How does your OC act while still? Are they fidgety? Do they have any common gestures or tics? Does their clothing affect how they hold themselves while at rest?

She's usually frowning when she's standing still, but will pick dirt out from under her nails if she's bored. Usually not very fidgety in general.

canvas: Does your OC have any scars, piercings, tattoos, or other markings? Do they display or cover them up at all?

Many, MANY scars, both from her blood magic and from post-Circle fights she's gotten in. She has a very notable burn scar across one shoulder and part of her breast which she is a bit self conscious about and prefers to hide, but the rest she usually keeps on display unless she thinks it would be a problem (eg. at Halamshiral). She doesn't have any tattoos but I imagine that eventually she would get one renouncing circle life in some manner.

day: What does your OC wear on a normal day? Why do they default to those clothes? Do they wear similar things, or do they change it up?

She defaults to short sleeved tunics and pants if she's not going into battle generally and keeps her color palette limited to oranges, reds and browns. She likes to wear similar things most of the time, partially because she'd gotten used to the Circle robes removing the choice and now purposefully chooses an outfit which wouldn't be acceptable there. Most of her clothing choice is practical though, based around ease of access to her own blood for magic and colors which are easier for blood to go unnoticed.

arms: Does your OC have any weapons? What weapons do they carry, and how do they wear them when they're not fighting?

Ohhh yes, Mellita keeps weapons on her. Usually she's carrying around a huge staff with a metal bladed end (similar to DA2 staves) and always has at least one or two smaller blades for purely practical reasons (blood magic). She likes keeping her staff strapped to her back using a leather holder which has snaps to keep it from going too far off her back; her blades vary location-wise depending on how many she's carrying at the time but she always has at least one on her belt.

favorite: Does your OC have a favorite article of clothing or accessory? What is it? What's the meaning behind it? Do they wear it all the time or do they wear it sparingly to keep it safe?

I don't think she has a lot of super sentimental accessories or clothes, unfortunately. She probably has more of them after reuniting with her brother, Matthias, and after the beginning of her romance with Lark. I imagine in my Nydha canon she'd keep a bracelet he'd created for her with tributes to Elgar'nan on it. She does probably still have the first piece of clothing she bought outside of the Circle and has kept it, though she only wears it for pajamas.
