💪🤝✌️👉for jorina!

thank you!!! // character touch/gestures meme

💪 - would your character be more likely to scoop someone up in their arms, or be the one getting scooped?

for sure leans more towards being the one to get scooped up because of her size and being more of a dexterous person. she probably Could manage to hold somebody up for a little while but it would depend on their size and how long the trip is tbh.

🤝 - how comfortable is your character with the 'professional' type of touching/gestures? (i.e. handshakes, having a card handy, small talk, etc)

she's comfortable with handshakes, introductions and discussing the job (a recent report, the latest or upcoming scouting mission, the state of the inquisition or its current goal, etc etc), but she Dreads small talk. a lot of people will default to trying to bring up random subjects because they assume talking about the work for too long will get boring or taxing, but jorina would happily talk for hours about it instead of engage in awkward small talk with somebody trying to navigate their way to what they'd consider common ground with a city elf. (some people aren't bad, but you just know there are plenty of people who think that she's essentially lived in another world and they can't relate on any topic bc people in thedas are just Like That with elves.)

✌️ - are there any gestures or touches that your character shares with a friend/team/loved one that are a type of code between them?

i imagine that she and the other scouts all have a series of gestures and shorthand that they learned to communicate with each other in the field, outside of that i think she'd have developed something small with aleksi that signals to him that she'd like for him to use those quick-thinking and charisma skills of his to come up with some excuse on the spot for them both to leave a social interaction because she's sick of it or starting to run low on that reserve all introverts have when it comes to being social. not entirely sure what it would be, probably something that aleksi picked up on that she does naturally and then it became a Thing when he brought it up. maybe something as simple as jorina crossing her arms and starting to tap on an elbow, nothing odd to most and glaringly obvious to aleksi who knows her the best.

👉 - does your character gesture to draw someone's attention to other people/things? are they likely to notice if they get pointed at? if they don't point, what's another gesture they might use?

usually indicates direction with a nod or by describing it out loud, though she’ll point with a finger if somebody can’t follow those simple gestures. could make a compilation gifset of all the times she's pointed in a direction while holding a rolled up map or one of her arrows. jorina's on that Constant Vigilance life, she's going to notice 9/10 times that she's being pointed at.
