27, 36 and 49 for Hymnia?

27. Most despicable thing your OC has ever done?

Hymnia’s done a lot of bad things and been implicit in many crimes, so which one is the most despicable is open to interpretation. One that’s up there, however, is offering her detective services to the families and friends of victims that her own friends (or allies, as Hymnia has maybe one friend tops) have murdered or otherwise disposed of, knowing full well what happened and who the perpetrator is, then framing someone else as the suspect by planting evidence and the like. It’s a service she offers to her allies (or anyone else, really) for a fee, so in the end she gets paid twice for getting to “create her own murder mystery”. She doesn’t care at all that she’s lying to people and framing innocents, since at the end of the day her only priority is her own amusement and well-being.

36. Your OC’s favorite fashion era? (20’s, 70’s, etc)

She’ll wear whatever suits the situation best, but she can, she enjoys more 19th century and early 20th century (or late 35th, early 36th century in L&L years) inspired fashion (ranging from Victorian to 20′s.) Her parents tended to dress her in more vintage styles when she was younger and the look suits her detective persona, so she’s come to enjoy that style of fashion.

49. Your OC’s most prized possession?

In general, Hymnia places little value on material goods, as they’re usually as replaceable as anything else, but she’s rather attached to a pocket watch that used to belong to her great-grandmother, Diana. When Diana died in war, the watch was one of the possessions recovered from her body and was given to her fiance, Altus, who then gave it to Calliope, their daughter, as a wedding present (Calliope’s twin brother, Orpheus, got Diana’s pocketknife on his own wedding, but it went missing when he did). After Calliope passed away, the watch ended up in storage until Hymnia came across it while exploring the attic when she was young and, once she learned the history behind it, decided to keep it. She’s been compared to her grandmother and great-grandmother frequently by those who knew them, and while this does annoy her sometimes since they’re long gone, all the same she’s proud to be related to such accomplished women who made such a striking impact as a war hero and one of Unova’s first Elite Four. The watch is a reminder to her that she comes from greatness and that the world is her oyster. (She also attaches her Key Stone to it when she gets one.) It’s one of the only possessions she’d be genuinely upset about losing.
