What makes them cry? do they cry easily?
Okay, if you look at Yarrow the wrong way he's going to cry X"D A lot of stuff brings him to teard, but he usually cries the most (and more easily) due to general unkindness or anxiety.
Do they fall asleep easily? what helps them sleep?
Yarrow doesn't naturally fall asleep easily due to something called ✨️anxiety✨️. However, he does take melatonin and has Therabee, so both of those help a lot! However, he'll sometime drink some herbal tea as a last-ditch effort on nights were he's feeling particularly restless.
Whats a side of your oc that they don't want to show other people?
Typically his more feminine side! Yarrow has been bullied by other boys for most of his life because of that- and that's just because he looks more effeminate. Yarrow does enjoy and wants to try some more girly, typically feminine stuff, but he's very scared to share this part of himself with others. If he was bullied just for slight appearance reasons, imagine how bad it would be if the bullies ever found out about the other stuff he enjoyed.
What is their biggest fear? do they have any irrational / mundane fears?
^Definitely the whole bullies finding out about his more girly side, but also his beasties leaving him for any reason.
What is the worse thing your oc could hear from someone?
Probably just hurtful insults invalidating and ridiculing him and the stuff he likes :c
Do they believe in luck? are they lucky?
Yarrow believes in luck but doesn't take it too seriously, so to speak? He has regular luck, but it's skewed slightly towards bad lmao
Do they act differently around certain people? what's different between the way they act around friends, family, strangers, etc.?
Yarrow is really only super open with his two besties (Zinnia and Mari). He's very reserved and doesn't really open up at all to anyone else, including his parents.
How do they react to injury / misfortune befalling their loved ones (significant other, family, friends)? do they put themselves at blame?
Yarrow would 100% blame himself for anything bad happening to his besties or parents (if he could find some way to connect the dots lol). On the rare occasion he can't find any reasoning, he'll try and comfort said friend or parent.
Before meeting his friends, Yarrow hasn't had a chance to talk about all the bullying and anxiety he's been going through.
Zinnia occasionally paints Yarrow's nails and picks out his outfits! :D (in private and when he's feeling brave enough)
Do they have any self destructive tendencies? what habits do they have that hinder them from becoming their best self?
Yarrow socially isolates himself (apart from his besties) and has pretty bad anxiety. He also has a negative self image of himself and low self esteem and confidence.
