TINY ROSE EARRINGS

Pre-butch Sam spent a LOT of time trying to be like Mako (and Michiru)

I SPENT SO MUCH TIME IN CLAIRE’S (a Store in the US geared towards pre-teen girls, but a good place for anyone to get fairly cheap but good quality earrings) LOOKING FOR GOOD MAKO-ESQUE EARRINGS. 

And now I don’t wear earrings but I can never get rid of them

She would protest that she is an ATHLETE and it is good for her MUSCLES and everyone’s like “okay, yeah, I bet that vanilla bath bomb is really healing you right up”

LISTEN MINA THERE IS THIS THING CALLED AROMATHERAPY IT’S VERY IMPORTANT. THE WARM WATER RELAXES MY RUNNER’S MUSCLES AND THE VANILLA SCENT RELAXES MY RUNNER’S SOUL. IT’S A THING. THERE’S SCIENCE.

Bedroom:

  • How does this character sleep? (Position, sleeping habits, bedtime routines)
    LIKE THE DEAD (that’s a Pluto joke HAHAHA)
    But seriously, I see her sleeping very, very still. She doesn’t sleep much, she’s one of those people who is magically good with six hours or so. Bed at eleven, up at five to have a cup of tea at sunrise. I think she wishes she could get more out of sleep than she does. With all that Pluto is, she feels she should WANT the rest. But there’s too much living to do while awake, even if she’s alone in the early morning hours. 
  • What are their pyjamas like?
    I imagine Sets in one of those silky pajama pant suits, probably in jewel tone garnet.
  • What do they dream about usually?
    The door. Always the door. It’s waiting for her to come back, calling to her, pulling her in.  
  • How neat/tidy is this character?
    VERY. There is never a single paper or pen out of place on her desk. Socks never tumble out of the clothes hamper. No one is ever sure how she manages this, because she doesn’t enforce it. If one of the kids comes barrelling through, she’ll let them cause their chaos, but the moment they’re gone, everything is back in place.
  • How affectionate is this character?
    Setsuna has never mastered casual displays affection. She’ll respond when someone else initiates, but left to her own devices, she cannot put an arm around Michiru, she cannot kiss Chibiusa’s forehead, she sometimes can barely say the words “I love you” to Hotaru.
    But no one has ever been so deft at packing love into smaller, simpler gestures. A simple nod to Michiru for things they both leave unsaid, how she gets down to Chib’s eye level when she tells Sets a story, the way she brushes Hotaru’s hair when asked. Sets is full to the brim with affection, but it comes out in little drips, not a rush.

michiru and attic!

Attic:

  • What is the character afraid of?
    Above all, she fears her own suspected emptiness. I think if Michiru had more regular nightmares instead of visions, she’d dream of looking in the mirror and seeing herself as a hollow doll; Haruka would come in and see she had been tricked, this whole time she’d been deceived into loving a shell of a girl instead of a real person.
    Michiru fears Haruka dying as well, but there’s such a difference between fears you can work against and fears you can never fully confront.
  • How do they deal with bad memories?
    Cold hard repression. Or else internalizing them. OR BOTH.
  • What is this character’s role in a horror movie?
    She could easily be the killer/monster. But if she’s not, she’s either smart enough to gtfo and survive, or else is fighting whatever horror to save Haruka’s life.
     
  • How do they hide their secrets?
    Michiru is the great performer that will never be recognized. If she does not want you to know something, you will not know it. And anyone who, through circumstance, finds out something she’d rather not get out? They’ll feel… compelled… to keep quiet.
  • Which of the Seven Deadly Sins does the character relate to most?
    Pride. Michiru can never turn her back on her Kaioh upbringing completely, and her pride in composure and appearances will never ever go away.
