Character Question 3

Character Question 3

Do they ever put on airs?

Bella: ABSOLUTELY!! Her entire social life is faked to some degree. She is not socially competent at all, so all her charisma is learned and calculated. This unfortunately has led to some awkward mishaps when someone doesn't react according to plan, which results in a breakdown of some sort. Either she will go completely silent in the situation and/or retreat as soon as she can and/or have a minor meltdown in her room, cursing herself for not putting more days into her education before throwing herself into more research with a new fire.

Freddie: no way, no how, nuh-uh. He is not changing himself so someone of lower intelligence can deal with him more comfortably. He will act however he pleases thank you very much. He will attempt to mask his childishness at times which generally fails since he is nine.

Zach: also YES. He is a people pleaser. (forgoing details that are in the upcoming chapter which is slowly coming together. He was scarred a bit which involved his people-pleasing antics to be amped up. Everyone thinks they know him, but if they take a moment to think about it, they know nothing about his personal life. He is charismatic, he is sporty, he's got good sportsmanship, he will support you almost no matter what. But his favorite color, his address, his room decorations, details about his parents, his idols, his preferences in his friend group? A complete mystery.

Character Question 7

How competitive are they?

Freddie: he is very competitive. He won't show it, but he will try to one-up anyone who tries to match him. He will drive himself to exhaustion trying to beat them. Not great, but it's a bit cute in small amounts.

Bella: She competes against herself. That's it. At least, that's what she tells herself. In actuality, she's totally competitive. It's one of the only ways she shows emotion in public. She will start shouting about board games and will cheer on the sidelines for her school sports team and, if she's feeling particularly passionate, she might jeer.

Zach: he's playfully competitive. Ironically enough (to me, at least) he's the least competitive out of the trio. He sees it as bad sportsmanship and hates bringing people down. He loves a good competition but is a softy about it and cheers for everyone.

Hey look! A masterpost with almost nothing on it! This'll fill up eventually, but for now it's pretty empty.

Character Question 6

Strongest character trait? Weakest character trait?

Bella - she learns incredibly quickly. It's probably not technically a character trait, but it's something she has a lot of pride with. Not that she'd be very open about it outside of her minuscule social circle. She loves learning new things and perfecting skills.

This is somewhat of a disadvantage when it comes to more emotional parts of life. She is so used to having a practical outlook, genuine social interactions elude her. She gets along well with her family, but she spent a lot of time holed up in her room with various projects; and she was shy at school, taking a long time to come out of her shell and make friends.

Freddie - his passion is unrivaled. He loves all his projects and will devote everything he had to them. He cares deeply about the few things he has room for in his slowly warming heart.

He is SO stubborn, it's kind of ridiculous. He will not give up unless there's no other option. He has worked on experiments until he has run out of money to buy more containers and chemicals. He will argue until he is sent out of the room. It can be a little destructive. Don't pick a fight with him unless you have duct tape and rope, he won’t shut up otherwise.

Zach - he is very chivalrous. He believes strongly in standing up for what's right and sticks up to his beliefs. He is protective and defensive of things close to his heart. Just generally a softie pretending to be tough.

Unfortunately, he will put up defenses rather quickly. He has many fronts for different situations and, as previously mentioned, he will guard his heart and the things close to it with his life. Basically. He doesn't truly open up willingly or quickly.

Character Question 10

Are they indoorsy or outdoorsy?

Zach: outdoorsy! He actually gets uncomfortable being indoors for too long

Freddie: indoorsy. To quote him on a regular basis, ew nature

Bella: indoorsy. She prefers a controlled environment but can appreciate a good nature walk or park every once in a while.
