Reward: 25 KS
1. What do they prefer to drink on cold days?
Since she tends to be conscientious of her health and diet, Mya tends to avoid the sugary, fat-filled coffees that she sees people drinking these days. Instead, she goes for a soothing green tea with honey on the days she does yoga. ...Actually, Mya totally hordes about 50 different kinds of tea in a drawer in her room.
2. What is something they do or would often carry with them?
A nasty habit Mya tends to have is to exercise when she's stressed. Yeah, it's not the worst thing she could do in response to stress, but it's not that good, either. Especially when she goes on a run at 2 in the morning when her heart rate is already through the roof from her nightmares. And running at night in general is terrible for anyone's health.
3. What is their morning routine? (Example: wake up to a phone alarm, hit snooze at least once, then shower, brush their teeth and hair, get dressed, skip breakfast, go to work.)
Every single morning, without fail, Mya wakes up sprawled across the bed with half of her blankets on the floor, 10 minutes before her alarm clock is set to go off. She hides under the blankets until the alarm finally rings, then wraps herself in three blankets to turn off said alarm (and lower the AC so she doesn't freeze when she drops the blankets). She then chugs the full glass of water on her night stand (hydration is key first thing in the morning!). Because she sleeps naked, she can just throw on some old exercise clothes and do whatever workout she has planned for herself that morning. She also doesn't worry much about her short-cropped, undercut hairstyle, so she throws on some deoderant and drops the glass off in the kitchen on her way out. Afterwards, she comes back home and whips up a healthy breakfast - and drinks another 2 full glasses of water. She totally has to pee, then, and brushes her teeth while in the bathroom. Before hopping in the shower, she quickly does her breakfast dishes and readies everything she needs for the day. Feeling awake and refreshed, Mya grabs her things and heads out for the day, either looking for a new job, or running errands on a day off. (Of course, this routine flies out the window on jobs where she's way from home for a few days.)
4. What do they judge others for most often?
Like many people, Mya doesn't ever really admit to judging people. And most of the time, she's right about that, because she knows that of all people, she has little room to talk about doing awful things. But, the one thing she catches herself judging others about is their morality. Funny, she knows, especially with the things she's done in the arena. But she's turned over a new leaf, and is trying to make right. As soon as she notices feelings of disgust and contempt, Mya immediately shuts them down and instead focuses on her underlying feelings of sadness. She wants to help people become better and find redemption for their crimes, too.
5. Where is one place they feel most like themselves?
On the paths in the Garden. Mya feels centered and calm, enjoying the solitude, but knowing the people she loves are nearby.
6. If they could change one thing about themselves, what would it be?
The nightmares would be an obvious answer, and that's probably what many people would think to choose in Mya's case. But... Mya would rather exchange her guilt for something better, something more positive to drive her actions. Slowly, she feels herself making that change, but she wishes it could be done faster.
7. How do they react to someone flirting with them?
Oh, boy. Mya is dense... Like, wouldn't know someone was interested in her unless they literally TOLD HER TO HER FACE. And good golly, does she get awkward
quickly. Especially with men, cause sorry, bro, she's not interested. On the other hand, a woman with kind eyes and a wicked sense of humor? Mya's a blushing mess in seconds, with stuttering, sweating, the whole nine yards.
8. What do they find most attractive in others?
Romantically, Mya's always been attracted to kindness, but playfulness - someone who was genuine, but wholehearted in everything they do. With friends and family, though, loyalty and acceptance are the two biggest attractants for her. Can she trust you to be on her side without question if a situation goes south? Are you aiming to stick around for the long haul, even after seeing the worst sides of her? Well, brace yourself, cause she's gonna get attached
fast.
9. What song seems to relate to them in some way?
Without any fragment of a doubt, "Know Who You Are" from the
Moana soundtrack. The arena had turned her into something she was never meant to be, and she needed help finding herself once again. Iris, Mya, and a bunch of other residents from the Garden had a movie night one evening, and ended up watching
Moana. Mya had to sit in the back with Iris so nobody would see her cry multiple times throughout the movie.
10. What do they want? (Yes, this is intentionally vague, so be creative and have fun~)
"Okay, okay, so I never really got t' have a childhood, right?" Mya is practically bouncing in her seat,
and Iris levels a calm but amused gaze at her, nodding at her to continue. "Well, I know I'm well over that age bracket, but I feel like there were some important things I never really got ta experience, y'know?" Mya turns to ruffle some papers she tossed onto Iris' table when she first arrived earlier that morning.
"Aha!" She slams down a specific piece of paper in front of the other woman with a triumphant, child-like grin. Iris gently removed the paper from under Mya's hand to peer closer at it. On it was a printed out advertisement from some website, showcasing a large image of a purple box in the middle. Iris' eyes widened in surprise and she looked back up at her companion, who looked decidedly more nervous than earlier.
"Well, uh, I was with Margaret, y'know, the baker, and she started talking 'bout how she used to have one of these when she was just a kid..." Mya rubbed the back of her neck and blinked twice, staring hard at the table instead of Iris. "She said she could've taught me how ta make some healthy mini quiches with it, or even sugar-free cookies so I wouldn't feel so bad about eatin' sweets." Iris smiled sadly, but continued to listen silently.
"And, y'know, I never really had friends either, so I really wanted to uh... bond with her over this kind of stuff. So," she glanced up shyly, meeting Iris' eyes. "I found someone selling one online, but since I give all 'a the bounty money ta you, I wanted to talk t'you about it fir-" Before she could quite finish her sentence,
Iris was up around the table and hugging Mya tightly.
"I'm so happy that you want to do more things for yourself," she said warmly. She quickly pulled back from the hug and yanked Mya into the next room, walking quickly towards the computer in the corner. "Don't be ashamed or nervous about that at all. Of course I can order you an Easy Bake Oven!"
