hi hi friend, could i get together, ritual and present for marianne?? thank you!!

P: PRESENT do they give hand-made presents or do they prefer to buy them? how long do they take to select them and how good are they at choosing ones people will like?

in the beginning, she will without exception go for buying very generic presents, fearing that whatever she chooses won’t be to their taste. much less if she were to attempt making anything by herself (at least in that regard she’s not completely wrong, what with not being the most talented person at crafts). however, with time and encouragement she eventually starts trusting herself more and ends up gifting surprisingly thoughtful presents

R: RITUAL do they have any special customs for christmas? do they change throughout their life or depending who they’re with?

regardless of if she attends a mass or not, she will always pray to the Goddess in the privacy of her room. After all, she has a wish she hopes will be granted above all else, and maybe the season will help with her appeal?as time goes by, marianne does keep the ritual itself, but her wishes change. instead, she starts praying for the well-being of her friends and comrades, that the war will end soon, that everyone’s efforts in rebuilding will pay off… 

T: TOGETHER who do they celebrate their christmas with? friends, family, their s/o? or do they prefer to be spend it alone?

for most of her life, she does prefer to spend it by herself as much as she can - just like every holiday. the other part is usually spent with her adoptive father and an air of awkwardness at best. when she starts opening up to other people and making friends, though, she definitely likes spending christmas with them the most. she’s the most relaxed during that time and it’s probably the occasion where most people see one of her real smiles for the first time
