CW: Homophobia, Attempted Child Murder
Aurora is....complicated. like Aurora has never truly decided for herself ever in her life. Her parents wanted her to be a model women a perfect feminine thing to prod around and eventually having her marry at such a young age, to a man she's not attracted to nor in love with. Aurora herself is a Lesbian, though she denies and hates such claims. Which causes a lot of questions.
Aurora hates her own feminity though she still indulges in it cause it's all's he knows and yet she's so attracted to femininity at the same fucking time.
Of course, when she gave birth to Eleanor she saw the child as an anchor to this life she just ...didn't want and thought in a way that if Eleanor was just dead she could leave. Which led to her attempting to kill Eleanor through suffocation as a baby. It's awful, genuinely an awful thing to do and Aurora doesn't hide the fact that she's an awful weak person. Especially after abandoning the baby in the shade attack.
She cares mostly for her own life and even then she doesn't know what to do with said life. She's always been controlled and forced into such utter femininity so she never truly came.to understand herself.outaide of those things. And she's too scared to find out now.
Aurora is good at cooking,cleaning, sewing, etc. But all in all Aurora's relationship with motherhood and feminine sexuality is just...utter fucking denial and avoidance. Which in the end for an awful woman like her, isn't a life of doubt what she deserves?

What did/do you like about Pharah?
Uh, gameplay-wise, I really love characters in shooters who rely on three-dimensional movement techs. Chaining together hover and jump to stay in the air for as long as possible and keep momentum is so satisfying, and picking enemies off from the sky made me feel like a bird of prey. I was a good Pharah main.
Story-wise, there unfortunately isn't much to canonically go off because Pharah is so underutilized and neglected. Her personality's pretty boilerplate "heroic hero" (she's literally inspired by Captain America).
But it's the crumbs/bits and pieces that I really latched onto. Pharah's a confirmed lesbian; her short story with Baptiste implies she harbors a crush on Mercy (fucking thank you.). She's biracial Egyptian/First Nations. She has major mommy issues, having grown up both admiring and resenting Ana. She's the bridge between Old Overwatch, inspired by the idealized heroes who surrounded her childhood, and New Overwatch. She's one of the only inter-generational characters in the cast; someone whose experiences span the gap, which is why I seriously believe Pharah would make a great main character.
There isn't much to go off of, though; she's a very uncomplicated character (she's a soldier for a private military corporation, lol.). But that just means she's a blank slate character, so I've seen fanfic writers run wild and create some really interesting takes on her. My favorite interpretation of her's a dense, herbo gym-bro type (a lot of her liens are about work outs, exercising, and playing sports) who's easily excitable under her seemingly self-serious, armored visage. We see how she tends to gloat and hype herself up when she's on a streak too, so Pharah definitely has a competitive and boastful side under her more professional and militant performance.
Now Mercy? Mercy is a real complex character.

Sorry I still haven't answered your previous ask, I'm in the middle of moving and I should be able to get to it next week 😁 but in the mean time, how about some asks!
⭐ for Nisha and Tel about Galaëd? How would they feel about my autumn trickster twig? 🥰
And the mandatory Commander's assemble! ⭐ fo Kerra about Anwen 😘❤️
No worries no worries, take as much time as you need!! (And good luck with the rest of your moving! :D ) And ye, asks are excellent and very much appreciated, thank you!! :D
Nisha about Galaëd:
I like you // I love you // You’re one of my best friends // You’re like family // You are family // I dislike you // I hate you // I’d kill you if I got the chance // I want you to like me // I’m scared of you // I would adopt you // I’d date you // I’d sleep with you // I’d marry you // I’m worried about you // You confuse me // You’re annoying // I pity you // I respect you // I trust you // I feel protective of you // I’d invite you with me to parties // I’d lend you my money // I’d borrow your money // You’re good-looking // I’m suspicious of you // I’m hiding something from you // You’re fun // You’re boring // I’m upset with you // You’re nice // You’re mean // I’m envious of you // You’re smart // You’re stupid // I look up to you // I think you’re a better person than me // I think I’m a better person than you // I want to apologize to you // I wish I’d never met you // I never want to forget you // I want to get to know you better
Oh, this was a fun one, mainly because Nisha would just be so ??? about Galaëd, and it's making me laugh. Xe'd legitimately like him, but it'd also be so weird for xem if xe knew about Galaëd's crush on/burgeoning relationship with Canach in his 'verse--and xe wouldn't say anything to him about it, most likely, but it'd be a whole thing for xem to wrap xyr head around. It'd also be weird for xem because at this point, xe's self-aware enough that Galaëd would remind xem a tiny bit of both xyrself and Kerra. Nisha would probably have some trouble talking to him at first, I think, asldkjfasf, but if they had enough time I think they could get along well!
Rel about Galaëd:
I like you // I love you // You’re one of my best friends // You’re like family // You are family // I dislike you // I hate you // I’d kill you if I got the chance // I want you to like me // I’m scared of you // I would adopt you // I’d date you // I’d sleep with you // I’d marry you // I’m worried about you // You confuse me // You’re annoying // I pity you // I respect you // I trust you // I feel protective of you // I’d invite you with me to parties // I’d lend you my money // I’d borrow your money // You’re good-looking // I’m suspicious of you // I’m hiding something from you // You’re fun // You’re boring // I’m upset with you // You’re nice // You’re mean // I’m envious of you // You’re smart // You’re stupid // I look up to you // I think you’re a better person than me // I think I’m a better person than you // I want to apologize to you // I wish I’d never met you // I never want to forget you // I want to get to know you better
Also interesting for Rel, honestly! Rel would definitely like Galaëd, though I could see any lingering elements of Galaëd's original black-and-white worldview bothering him in particular (more than they'd bother Nisha, interestingly enough), and personality-wise, I think they'd get along. (And that they'd probably click faster than Galaëd would with Nisha, despite any clashes.) One last point on here I wanted to note--"I never want to forget you" comes from the role Galaëd plays in bringing Trahearne back in your 'verse. Rel's 'verse plays out differently, of course, but Galaëd gets an instant boost in status as far as Rel's concerned because of that alone.
Kerra about Anwen:
I like you // I love you // You’re one of my best friends // You’re like family // You are family // I dislike you // I hate you // I’d kill you if I got the chance // I want you to like me // I’m scared of you // I would adopt you // I’d date you // I’d sleep with you // I’d marry you // I’m worried about you // You confuse me // You’re annoying // I pity you // I respect you // I trust you // I feel protective of you // I’d invite you with me to parties // I’d lend you my money // I’d borrow your money // You’re good-looking // I’m suspicious of you // I’m hiding something from you // You’re fun // You’re boring // I’m upset with you // You’re nice // You’re mean // I’m envious of you // You’re smart // You’re stupid // I look up to you // I think you’re a better person than me // I think I’m a better person than you // I want to apologize to you // I wish I’d never met you // I never want to forget you // I want to get to know you better
Commanders assemble, love it xD Kerra would definitely like Anwen; commander/trauma-based family status is instant, plus it doesn't hurt that in Anwen's 'verse she is very much in love with that version of Kerra's brother. Kerra would trust Anwen based on Trahearne's judgment alone, but her stalwart defense of sylvari during HoT (even if that's a bar that Should be on the ground) definitely helps too. I'd love to see the two of them go to a party together--Kerra wasn't raised in nobility but is generally good at holding onto her temper even if she feels similarly to Anwen at times; it'd be a fun balancing act, and god forbid anyone decide to try to pull anything with both of them there.
