Meme: Reverse Questions

Muns: Post here listing all of the characters you play (you might want to list journals, too, just for reference) or are thinking of playing.

Everyone: Ask the MUNS anything about the GAME or THEIR PUPS, because we all know the muns will answer when the characters won't. They can be specific questions ("How does he feel about her?") or general questions ("Why did you choose this pup?", "How do you channel them?", etc.) You can even have pups ask the questions, but ANSWERS are coming from the MUNS.

Oh, gosh, everything. Just everything. I love how absolutely warm and compassionate she is, and I love that she's such an understated presence, so calm and kind and thoughtful, and that she can also scream and shout when she's passionate about something and it's messy and real, and the narrative never treats her as "overly emotional" or "hysterical" when she does. I love her dignity and grace and curiosity. I love that she has a strong belief in right and wrong, but never sees people in clear-cut black and white. She's capable of believing Abigail is hiding something important, but still believing in her and her potential and her goodness, and caring for her. She, for me, is the epitome of the kind of character I've wanted SO badly to see: a female character who is undeniably strong, but not in the Strong Female Character way, where her strength comes from intellect and emotion both.

And I've said this before, but: her ability to maintain boundaries is so amazing to me I practically see it as a superpower. Obviously she cares deeply about Will, for example, is quite probably in love with him, but she's still able to put her foot down and say that she has to follow her own advice and do what's best for her. She's able to care for others while still taking care of herself, and that's something I really, really need in my life, so I guess I've kind of hoped playing her would help a little of that rub off on me.

I don't even know about Katie! She's another example of a different kind of strength, which is really what called me to her, because I think domestic abuse survivors are often painted with the same underdeveloped brush in fiction, and she's a much, much more complex portrait of that, and she's just amazing to me. <3
