Question meme

[genderbinary]

BECAUSE I WANT TO BE A COOL KID TOO '^' Naoto hit 7k recently so it's as good a time as any.

Question meme of the back-and-forth variety! Right now I just play Sleuth/Naoto Shirogane and the Persona Mr. Right, although you can ask about past and future characters as well if you like. '-'

please never listen to her romantic advice in any way

Beato has an intense soft spot for Naoto, but it's more like... hmmm. There are people that she's very open about liking, particularly younger people, because despite everything she has a gigantic thing for children and a sort of... big sister/maternal attitude. Which I'm sure is due in part to her own shitty childhood, and how she likes to see children with supportive influences and love!! Naoto does not really fall into that category... but Beato has similar feelings for her, and so she ends up being kind of awkwardly restrained in her affection instead. Naoto's gender concerns really throw her for a loop because it's a topic that she has broached with... no one really...? She acknowledges it only in private self-derision, so seeing someone also struggling to reconcile themselves with the body they're in is just... ?!? So she kind of overcompensates for how uncanny/unsettling it is in trying to make sure things work out well for Naoto.

And it's a distinct theme in Beatrice's life that people don't try to understand her, so despite her apprehensions with being honest with people, it makes her quietly happy if someone attempts to read between the lines .///. Even if their conversations have sometimes brushed close to YOU ARE MORALLY WRONG she's largely a devil's advocate anyway and if Naoto will be continuing to speak to her instead of shutting her out, then she doesn't consider anything lost.

How did Naoto's thing with Sieh come about :?

I essayed on Sieh and Naoto a little bit over here, but I will make a shortish version. Sieh arrived in Aather very shortly after Naoto did, and so a lot of their initial Aather development happened at the same time and in complement with one another. They've been building up a support system for a while now, which has been helped by the fact that TE is a very protective team and encourages stability above all else, I think. Sieh finds Naoto's problems sympathetic and vice versa even if they don't understand every little nuance and detail of each other; because of that, Naoto finds it easiest to be herself and feel comfortable around him than just about anyone else. A big factor in their relationship has been the fact that Naoto is on the borderline between childhood and adulthood as far as Sieh is concerned, which means she's still kind of within his realm, which fosters closeness between them by quite a bit.

THIS IS P. MUCH MY INTERPRETATION THUS FAR, Allyson may want to add input if I link her. :|a

How did Beatrice and Raven come about!!
