Oliver, to Maddie and Mindy: I understand you two have a love/hate relationship, but most people alternate between those emotions. They don’t experience them at the same time.

Oliver 20, 21, 26, 44, and 47!
20. Do they like musicals? Music in general? What do they do when they’re favourite song comes?
Oliver likes musicals as much as the next person. He has a few older plays he’s quite fond of, variations on ones that were around in his past life as well. As for music, he’s mostly a fan of classical, but recently he’s gotten quite into modern interpretations of folk as well, like folk-rock, folk-punk, etc. He doesn’t really dance when music he likes comes on, but he’ll tap his foot or nod along to the beat, and if he really likes it he might sing along under his breath.
21. Do they have a temper? Are they patient? What are they like when they do lose their temper?
Oliver is quite patient. He doesn’t lose his temper easily and tries to mediate conflicts rather than take sides and end up in an argument. But, while he tries to avoid conflict, it still finds him, and he does lose his temper occasionally. His anger can seem to come out of nowhere and he gets very ‘commanding’ so to speak when upset. He’ll get deathly calm-seeming and announce that everyone needs to leave him alone or shut up or stop arguing or whatever and then stride out of the room to be alone. Though he seems in control of his anger then, if you follow him you’ll hear him screaming into a pillow later on. He always feels awful after getting angry and will constantly apologize afterwards.
26. How do they act when they’re happy? Do they sing? Dance? Hum? Or do they hide their emotions?
Oliver tends not to express himself that much, hiding his emotions. However, he’s opened up a lot over time and now feels more comfortable showing how he’s feeling outwardly. When he’s happy, he tends to smile a lot and will be more animated in his actions. He’s also more likely to sing along to music. When he’s in a good mood, Oliver will be more active in people’s lives, wanting to help them out or cheer them up for the sole reason of helping them feel happy like him. He’ll do favors for his parents or siblings and later on, when he’s dating Mina, he’ll write love poems for her (he is a bit of a hopeless romantic).
44. What is their favourite season? Type of weather? Are they good in the cold or the heat? What weather do they complain in the most?
Oliver’s favorite season is autumn. He loves the crisp weather, the changing leaves, and the culture of the season in general – spiced drinks, sweaters, Halloween, the works. As a dragonblood, he’s more sensitive to the cold, so he’s not a fan of freezing winter temperatures, but he also hates hot weather. Thus, the cool weather of fall is perfect for him. His idea is weather that you need a sweater or jacket to stay warm, but not so cold that you need a hat and mittens. He doesn’t tend to complain outright when it’s super hot or cold, but he’ll be a bit passive aggressive about it and keep turning up the AC or the heat.
47. How do they act in a formal occasion? What do they think of black tie wear? Do they enjoy fancy parties and love to chit chat or loathe the whole event?
Oliver is used to formal events, in both lives, so he sees them as a bit of a chore, but nothing horrible. For black tie, he can be a bit old fashioned in his tastes, but most of his suits are picked out by Hilda, who is a self-proclaimed ‘formalwear queen’. He likes formal parties well enough and enjoys chatting with various people and using them as a chance to catch up with other kids he doesn’t get to see as much. If he’s out too long though, he’ll grow a bit strained in his mannerisms and not talk as much with others. Oliver also loves all the fancy food at parties and that’s half the reason he likes to go to them.
Are any of the kids in a group chat? And, if so, do they make fun of any typos that happen?
All the Montfort cousins and siblings have their own weird family group chat. It’s generally just chaos. Aster keeps posting memes, Tipha keeps changing the group name, Oliver always posts novel-length messages, Euphie is always posting selfies and nothing else, it’s just chaos. Maddie tries to have perfect grammar in all her messages, so whenever she makes a typo, the whole group gangs up on her. Most of her typos are now memes in the chat. Eban and Avoria have this thing going on where they finish each other’s messages, but half the time someone else will post in between, so the effect is ruined and they always complain about that.

Multiples of five for Oliver and Nika please! :D
20. What were the most deeply impressive political or social, national or international, events that they experienced?
These are a bit shorter than normal due to there being so many questions, sorry.
5. Were they overprotected as a child? Sheltered?
Oliver: As the youngest, Oliver was certainly doted on by his older siblings, who tend to be protective. However, thanks to being a reincarnation, Oliver is actually the oldest mentally of his family, which led to him being the responsible one most of the time. His parents wanted him to have as good a childhood as possible, but it’s hard to coddle a grown man in a child’s body who had lived through war. Oliver certainly doesn’t complain about being spoiled though!
Nika: Nika was spoiled rotten by their parents! In terms of being sheltered however, since they are a reincarnation just like Oliver, they had already seen a lot of the bad sides of life. While Nika would have enjoyed to run wild in their youth just as they had in their first childhood, Marlon and Caitlin certainly tried to keep them on a short leash, so to speak. As such, Nika can be rather restless at times, and tends to act out when left unsupervised.
10. Is your character street-smart, book-smart, intelligent, intellectual, slow-witted?
Oliver: Oliver is quite book-smart and a quick thinker. However, he suffers from indecision frequently, and only in the heat of the moment does his true innovation shine. He enjoys reading and history as a hobby and has quite the wealth of knowledge.
Nika: Nika is certainly quite street smart. They learned to think and act quick in order to run away from home frequently as a child. They are also quite charismatic and skilled at talking their way out of trouble.
15. Did they graduate? High-School? College? Do they have a PHD? A GED?
Oliver: Currently, Oliver is a sophomore in high-school. He will go on his year study next year and plans on taking on the Unova League challenge like his parents and siblings did.
Nika: Nika graduated high-school in 3637 and chose to enter medical school in the hopes of perhaps helping their currently comatose old lover, Aldus. University is soul crushing but Nika is soldiering through.
20. What were the most deeply impressive political or social, national or international, events that they experienced?
Oliver: In his past life as Farran Harmonia, Oliver was the younger brother of Unova’s twin heroes. When his siblings’ conflict threatened the entire kingdom, he sealed them into the light and dark stones along with their dragons, then inherited the throne.
Nika: In their past life as Yasha Ilyin, Nika was the lover of Prince Aldus of a Unova even more ancient than the era of the twin heroes. After Aldus was deified as the original dragon, Nika went on to marry Aldus’ twin sister, Queen Rohesia, though the marriage was one of convenience rather than love as Yasha – and Nika are loyal to Aldus to this day.
25. What are their hobbies and interests?
Oliver: Oliver enjoys reading, writing, studying history, and taking long walks or runs in nature.
Nika: Nika enjoys swimming, rebelling against their parents, showing off their magic, and camping.
30. Are they holding on to something in the past? Can they forgive?
Oliver: Oliver is still haunted by his older siblings’ war and is terrified that his new siblings will also end up fighting. Any conflict in his family, even petty arguments sets him on edge. He has yet to forgive Albin and Ciara, but perhaps one day he will as family is something he values more than anything.
Nika: Nika is rather obsessed with finding a way to wake Aldus up after he returns to his human form in 3620 along with the rest of the legendaries. Since Aldus’ dragon body was split in twain by the twin heroes, his soul no longer resides in his body and the original Aldus, rather like the husk of Kyurem he turned back from. Nika vows to one day bring Aldus back and will stop at nothing to achieve that goal.
35. Do they always rationalize errors? How do they accept disasters and failures?
Oliver: Despite his years of experience, Oliver does not do well with failure. Being faced with any decently large error or bad situation can lead him to freeze up, though when he does get going he’s quite a quick thinker under pressure.
Nika: Nika tends to well even when faced with mistakes. Their charisma lets them bluff their way through many things. However, this leads to them having a habit of being in denial of wrongdoing or mistakes made.
40. How is their sense of humor? Do they have one?
Oliver: Oliver’s sense of humor is rather….. stilted. He tries is best bless him but what he finds amusing most others find charmingly awkward.
Nika: Nika has a great sense of humor. They adore wordplay and riddles and tend to throw them into their daily conversation, which is rather irksome to some.
45. Is your character pragmatic? Think first? Responsible? All action? A visionary? Passionate? Quixotic?
Oliver: Oliver tends to be very rational to his approach on life. He has a habit of overthinking his problems, and often ends up unable to choose a course of action. He’s quite a strategist however, and excels in leadership positions.
Nika: Nika is a very quick thinker and while pragmatic, also mainly looks out for themselves. They often come up with plans of action on the fly and rely on instinct to back them up in a pinch.
50. What are the prevailing facial expressions? Sour? Cheerful? Dominating?
Oliver: Oliver has a very serious resting expression that doesn’t really reflect his true mood most of the time. He is constantly being told to smile or lighten up, though he has yet to train himself to look more content.
Nika: Nika shifts between moods and is a very good actor. They’ll play up their expressions to garner sympathy or strike fear though their neutral face is one of light boredom.
