3. has your muse been mainly attracted to men, women, non-binary people, another identity not specified, or an even split (between two, many, or all of the options specified)?

Uhm... just to preface: I don't really think Chiyori distinguishes between gender like that. She doesn't care if a person identifies as man or woman, or whatever. As long as she feels safe around them, and they’re genuienly nice and fun to be around, and are able to take decently care of themselves, she's not going to be picky.

Though, to answer the question using normative gender terms: So far, Chiyori has mostly been attracted to people identifying as men, but she's also had fleeting crushes on women in the past. To be honest though, some women could make it to the list very soon!

But basically, gender is not an important factor for Chiyori to be attracted to someone. In fact, in her world it's not a factor at all, because a human is a human, you know? What matters to her is whether or not that person is nice. Most likely Chiyori would just reciprocate whatever efforts are made towards her.

4. does your muse find any specific features particularly attractive?

In terms of physical attributes, probably hands and forearms, because those would be the main body parts someone would use to display their affections towards her. She'd likely observe the manner of which that person uses their hands. Are they gentle, are they rough? Are their movements attentive, playful, unpredictable? A mix? Depending?

For personal traits, Chiyori is attracted to people able to display mastery of gentle assertiveness. While capable of handling herself most of the time, Chiyori definitely do experience moments of doubt, so she’d need someone able to both ground and believe in her. Someone to give her a gentle nudge forward when they notice that she's about to get lost in her own head.

5. what is your muse's ideal first date?

Mhmm… for Chiyori, it’s more about the execution, I think. As long as it's an activity that doesn’t hinder the opportunity to start interesting conversations, or prevent her from randomly share what's on her mind, then it should be good.

For example bungee jumping, or swimming with sharks would be too wild, lol, and going to the cinema is just awkward, because they wouldn't be able to talk during the movies.

Though, depending on her mood, and the other person, a first date at a café/restaurant can be just as enjoyable as a date at an amusement park, or an aquarium. Basically, something relatively chill and low-profile.

13. what traits does your muse value in a romantic partner?

Open-mindedness, attentiveness and playfulness. Maybe someone willing to challenge her and indulge her in her curiosities.

16. what is/are your muse's love language(s)?

Chiyori values quality time. Everything else shares a solid second place spot.
