Ok, let's keep this short and sweet and to the point!

-Videogames

-writing in her diary (Leather backed book with a dark red dried rise in the cover and a simple rope to tie it shut and keep all of the secrets locked up inside)

-listening to music (pretty much any music but she lives power metal...No it's not weird...The pace and energy in power metal motivates her to get back up again and keep fighting)

nevada's way of dealing sadness is sleeping.
it may seem odd, but when she's had a rough day, this tired kal
disappears from the world and lets all her problems go. nevada
has anxiety, and always seems tired. when she's sleeping, she
gets to imagine and dream... drift away from real life, away from
the living nightmares.

How do they cope with sadness?;
Rana's 'coping' can barely even be considered as such, it's quite sad, really. Every time something saddening happens- or every time she fears something saddening happening-, she forces herself into a state of non-caring. To those around her she appears heartless, but inside she knows that if her mental barrier ever breaks she'd fall into a depressive abyss.

I'm not overly good at art, but:
Rana, as a child, was a crybaby. Every little thing would cause tears, and her peers were often found teasing her about it. Her parents were supportive, but even they got a bit overwhelmed when the kit would burst into tears over losing a pen. Near the beginning of her adolescence however, Rana decided she was done. Done crying, done feeling sad, and done being teased about it. She developed her own way of dealing with sadness- however unhealthy it may be-, and has stuck to it.

coping with sadness: [128/400 words]
Because Alice is too proud to ask for outside help with her depression, she deals with it on her own. More specifically, she does it by stargazing. Peering up into the glittering night sky always gave her a sense of calm. On nights that she can’t sleep [which are quite common] she takes the elevator to the roof of the apartment complex in which she lives. Luckily, others rarely visit that spot, especially in the evening. Although she manages quite a bit of alone time, due to living on her own, she always seems desperate for more of it. This just so happens to be the exact opposite of what she needs most. Alice is, deep down, painfully lonely. Her arrogance prevents her from approaching anyone for help.

extra: [230/500 words]
Alice used to be a fairly cheerful Kalon. She lived with her wealthy family and many siblings. She was commonly courted for her looks and gorgeous smile. However, during her teen years, said smile grew in rarity. Bouts of gloominess overtook the young Kalon. Her parents could not discern the source of her sadness no matter how persistent their efforts, and neither could Alice, herself. She had everything anyone could want, and yet she felt emptier and emptier with each passing day, as though time was thieving her happiness.
Alice’s parents offered to have a doctor diagnose her, but the prideful girl refused to admit that such attention was needed. When her despondency failed to dissipate as she grew into adulthood, her worried mother called in a physician, despite her daughter’s protests. Immediately, the symptoms of chronic depression were obvious to the doctor. Alice’s apparent lack of sleep, moody outbursts, and overall sorrow made it clear. He heavily recommended medicine. Alice insisted she was fine and pushed away the help.
Her condition continued to fall downhill, fast. After an incident in which she hurt herself to the point where she almost died, Alice was sent to a treatment camp. She despised it. She despised it so much, in fact, that she ran away.
To this day, Alice lives on her own, her parents still fearful and searching for her rigorously.

How do they cope with sadness? (222/400) Everyone has demons. They haunt you and beckon you to come to the edge so they can just pull you in. Persephone can cope, however it may not be the most effective method.
xxxxEver since she was a young girl, there always have been events that caused her great sadness. Her go-to method was to just talk about it. Spilling out all her evils and fears kept herself from tipping over. Then, she started to write. Loose papers started to pile up. She bought a filing cabinet just to order them. To the public eye, she was just happy. She kept it that way, just pouring her heart out to remove the demons she couldn't tame.
xxxxIf there are no books or paper around, she struggles to stay happy. In a pinch, breathing deeply and controlling her air flow helps her calm down when she's worked up. She might go and buy herself something, like a new hat, or a couple of new books.
xxxxPersephone thinks about every action she is going to commit to, and acts accordingly if she thinks it will break her heart. This tends to her steering away from romantic relationships or cutting them off early. It's almost a coping method, because if you separate yourself from your sadness, it can't get back to you for a while.
