Does your parra(s) have any fears? why that fear?Quin... well. Lets see. He's afraid of blood. Even a drop of it makes him feel woozy, but if you spread enough of it around he might even faint. He's afraid of sharp things - needles, scissors, knives, overly-long parra beaks, stiletto heels, exc. He's also afraid of dolls. And loud noises/unexpected things. And Malachite finding a boy/girlfriend. XD Except for the last one, which is just a parental thing, Quin's fears are all irrational. So I can't give a reason.
Malachite is wary of cave-ins while she's spelunking, and is likewise always aware of the possibility of falling into a hole deep underground and hurting herself where no one can ever find her, but that's about it. Both very rational fears. It's why she's always sure to to carry backup batteries for her walkie-talkies, totes an emergency GPS locator beacon, and refuses to go too deep into a cave by herself.
Cora is afraid of public speaking. Or, for that matter, speaking to people she doesn't know. Her stutter deeply embarrasses her, and she's terrified people will think she's stupid because she can't express her ideas as eloquently as some Parras.
Do they have a certain system they go through before going to bed?Quin goes around and checks all the windows and doors to make absolutely sure they're locked. He then checks the stove to make sure it's off, and unplugs any electrical whatsit he can get to. Finally, he combs out the long fur on his tail. If he doesn't, it will be that much harder to deal with in the morning.
Malachite puts in her earbuds and taps the dream-catcher hanging above her bed for good luck before turning in.
Cora just... goes to bed.
Do they have a job? If so, what is it?Quin is a traveling bard, if that counts? He gets paid for it sometimes, but more often than not it's more like a pleasurable lifestyle than a job.
Malachite is a geologist. I... honestly haven't decided exactly
what sorts of things she works on though.
Cora has no job at the moment.
Why did you/they pick their song? (Might wanna say what their song is)
Quin's song is
Take the Long Way Home by Supertramp. It was originally something else, but I changed it because I felt that this song fit him better. It reflects his laid-back attitude and his unwillingness to rush through life, as well as his refusal to let things he can't change bother him.
Malachite's song is a bit odd because it's not really in-line with the sort of music she usually listens to, but it reflects perfectly her attitude toward life and the people around her - it's
Get Off my Back from the Disney movie Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron.
Cora's song is
The Song of the Caged Bird. It fits her perfectly. First of all, it's the sort of music she loves to listen to. Second, Cora really is the quintessential 'caged bird' type of character - while there are so many things she'd like to go out and do, her insecurities and anxieties hold her back. Which is why music is such an important outlet for her. It allows her to unwind for a bit.
What annoys them beyond all belief?Quin, while he's usually very easy-going, simply can not stand people with closed minds or people who are purposefully antagonistic.
Malachite is particularly annoyed by fake psychics, or people who try to exploit the beliefs of others to make a quick buck. She also can't stand people who can't take a joke. It is therefore needless to say that she has very mixed feelings about the show PSYCH. ;P
Cora absolutely hates someone talking over a song she's trying to listen to. If you're trying to get her to actually raise her voice, this'd do it.
