@redwlngs provided me with several more oc development questions, so here they are for Thrush!

What tarot card and its meaning do you associate with them? In general, when I think of Thrush I think of The Moon. Fears, illusions, worry for the present and future because of hurt from the past. It's kind of self-explanatory. Thrush is a chronic worrier.

On a different note, however, Thrush embodies Death (upright) specifically for Kain. Death upright is symbolic of change, transformation, the transition from one point in life to another. This is precisely how they first appear to him-- some reaper figure, a pale silhouette with a scythe-- he probably thought he was seeing some sort of apparition.

Who is/are their best friend(s)? How did they become friends? How did they get close? How do they look out for each other? Their closest friends are Rosa, Rydia, and Cecil. They grew close with Cecil simply by traveling alongside him for so long, and Rydia's return in the Underworld led to Thrush having a tent-mate to have long evening chats with. Rosa and Rydia both take great interest in the the mechanics of Thrush's harvesting ability. Cecil enjoys training with them.

They look out for each other in little ways both in and out of battle. Thrush frequently reminds the party to rest and happily mends clothes, bags, or whatever requires a quick stitch. Occasionally Cecil will over to sharpen Thrush's scythe, Rosa quickly rids Thrush of their frequent headaches, and Rydia's late-night conversations are invaluable. Thrush loves hearing about her experiences in the Feymarch. In battle, Thrush is frequently harvesting HP/MP for the entire party and is quick to use potions or ethers when necessary.

What are their sleeping habits? What kind of bed do they like? How many pillows? How many blankets? Naked or bundled up? Do they sleep better alone or with someone? Thrush sleeps best when they are holding something. They kick out a leg and bunch up their blanket (or some other soft material..they're not above bunching up their day tunic and holding it) to keep in one arm while the other covers their face. They naturally run cold, so number of blankets varies both on availability of such things and temperature where they're residing. When staying at an inn, Thrush tends to toss one of their travel blankets over the provided quilt for adequate warmth.

Despite running cold, they don't like bundling up in clothes for sleep. They sleep in a long, thin tunic that's been patched to hell and back after being slept in and washed over and over again. Rydia badgers them to get a new one. They refuse.

Are they tall or short? What is their approximate height? If they are tall, do they use this boon to their advantage? If they are short, are they teased for it, or coddled for their smaller size? Thrush is approximately 5'9" (175.2 cm), the same height as Edge and slightly taller than both Rosa and Rydia. Their height has never been anything that's been detrimental nor beneficial-- they consider themself just the right size.

What is their favorite color? Thrush is fond of all colors with deep appreciation for the greens of the Blue Planet's trees, shrubs, and flora, the many blues of the sky and sea, but their favorite color is the deep violet-black of Dirge's feathers. Sentimental thing, Thrush is.

Are they superstitious? (Ex. Bad luck for breaking a mirror/going under a ladder) Not really, not outwardly. Externally they are firm that whatever happens is meant to happen, however their actions say otherwise. They refuse to "split the pole", which is what everyone has seemed to pick up on. They'll also repeat superstitions they grew up with absentmindedly. Say they bumped into someone, they'll reply "Oh! Look's like we'll be together this time next year!", or if their ear itches, they'll say "I guess someone's talking about me." etc etc.

Any textures they dislike/like? Oh goodness yes. They despise foods that are gritty or overly viscous, and they loathe the feeling of velvet and starched collars. They will redo the ties of their arm bracers and boots over and over again if they feel the tightness and alignment are not symmetrical on their body.

What is their favorite time of the day? The early bird gets the worm, and Thrush is always up at dawn if not before. They prefer sunrises to sunsets. They tend to spiral at night and when able, goes to sleep significantly earlier than the others. They are a light sleeper, however, so rarely do they get good rest.

Do they have any ailments? Motion sickness? Near sight/far sight vision? They are prone to migraines and when one strikes, they're down for the count. Years of untreated migraines has given them quite a light sensitivity that flares up preceding a migraine. Luckily, after traveling and befriending Rosa, a quick puff of white magic alleviates their cranial conundrum.

What Sanrio character would they like? What Sanrio character are they most like? They would like Chococat, I think, possibly Pochacco. They are most like Cinnamoroll (based on the single Sanrio personality quiz I took).

Are they cold/hot body temperature wise? They run cold-- their hands and feet are always freezing. They aren't a good cuddle buddy for that reason.

How do they spend a downtime day? Far and few between as they are, Thrush will spend a day of downtime reading, sewing, eating fruits and cheeses, and napping beneath a shade tree.

Favorite season?  Springtime. They love watching nature revive itself in bright bursts of color and adore cool, misty mornings after a nighttime storm.

Are they competitive? How do they react to losing? Thrush is not competitive whatsoever and, if anything, enjoys losing purely to watch winners bask in their victory. They don't mind losing if it means others are happier. If, for some reason, Thrush is set on winning something but still loses, they take the loss personally and are sour about it for a day or two.

Can they hold their liquor? Thrush is not fond of liquor and oftentimes refuses drink altogether. Their tolerance is very low and they do not enjoy being drunk-- they much prefer to stay lucid and watch over others as they enjoy.

Feel free to use these questions for your own oc development if you so choose! This was very enjoyable.

Barbariccia beloved~

Couple different edits ‘cause I like ‘em :D

[redwlngs]

After binging dungeon meshi and @redwlngs giving me the idea for it, I have a shoddy doodle of dragon!Kain as inspired by chimaera!Falin :3

[redwlngs]

characters have to be a little bit awful in ways that you cant defend. its good for the ecosystem. your honor he did do that. He did in fact do that

[redwlngs]

The ability to read the characters's inner thoughts in the DS version FF4 (when you're in the menu) is SO underrated tbh. Like, being able to know more about the internal struggles or just the passive thoughts of the fictive guys i am obsessed with? Square Enix, you get it.
