⁞Symbol ⁞Personality Maihue is a rather calm and quiet troll, but she can get out of hand when... Certain things are mentioned. Ya know, like buckets or feelings. Being able to relax at home is probably one of her ideas of true relaxation. She likes being able to have peace and quiet. Her idea of relaxing at home is being able to take care of her plants or cuddle with her lusus. Her plants are all over the place, whether they be hidden in sight like.. all over her hive or being hidden away in certain compartments in her hive. When she starts to take care of them, she makes sure no one is around to see it happening. She doesn't mind if her lusus sees her since, well, who is he going to tell, the floor? Her lusus is one of her closest companions and will often seek comfort in him.
When Maihue is in contact with other trolls, she is rather awkward and will always be seen blushing ever so slightly. The first few times she interacts, she will be shy but will willing talk. After awhile she opens up a little more and talks normally, and speaks more clearly. She will always have her arms crossed, though. Maybe if you get close enough to her she'll stop that...
Her love for nature isn't evident to anyone but to herself. She makes sure to keep it hidden, even though shes pretty paranoid about others guessing something about her compassion. She makes sure to keep as close to nature as possible, and that is why she lives on the outskirts of the lake so she can interact with a little more nature than she could in the city. She tells other she likes it out there because of how quiet it is. She isn't really lying when she says that so.. She doesn't mind.
One of the things Maihue is fascinated with is her violin. She finds it so fascinating, and she loves how small it is. She can bring it with her anywhere! She can be found playing it at night, when everything is silent. She loves being able to break the silence, and daydreams about other trolls wondering what "That beautiful sound is."
When Maihue gets out of her awkward stage after meeting a troll, she is rather happy and friendly. She'll smile (still blushing) and bring up questions about that trolls life. She is a rather curious troll and may get a little personal. When she does, she apologizes repeatedly. Why should she upset someone she barely knows? They could be friend material! She doesn't want to ruin that chance!
Her love of nature makes her uneasy. Loving something for her is complicated, and she feels it doesn't fit well with the society she lives in. She doesn't seem to understand that feeling this... feeling for nature is fine and no one really cares but herself. Her past has led her to believe that others will look at her in disgust and question why she loves something so stupid. When she was younger, an older angry troll killed a flower she was attempting to save and called it stupid and there was no reason to want to save it since it should just be rotting into the ground. Her insecurity tends to make her paranoid, and she doesn't want to feel judged for something she loves. She also doesn't want any weird looks.
⁞Strengths •
amiable - Even if she is randomly approached and becomes embarrassed, she'll still try to smile (awkwardly) and attempt conversing. Her manners are up to troll standard and she completely respects high-bloods. She'll try to present herself properly in front of them.
•
loyal - Since it is hard for her to get close to others, she is very loyal to those she is close to. She doesn't want to lose them or their trust, as she knows that trust is hard to gain/gain back.
•
responsive - Maihue is able to respond with a quick answer. She determines the possibilities and says what she thinks will work. She is a very quick thinker, and is good at calculations. She also is able to give good advice, but it is only to those she is comfortable with. When strangers are looking for advice, she stays quiet because she is afraid they will laugh at her.
•
independent - She is able to rely on herself for (almost) anything, and will only rely on others if she can't get out of the situation. She is usually get whatever she wants by herself, and if someone else helps her, she tries to give them something in return. Or pay them back in any way. She is extremely troubled if she has to request help from anyone.
⁞Flaws •
pertinacious - Once she has chosen her position on something, she will stick with it no matter what, even if she's wrong. She is the same with a goal and will not stop until it is completed, even if it is a bad decision. If you want to change her mind, you better be good at persuading. This often gets her in troubling situations.
•
embarrassed easily - The slightest thing will embarrass her and make her forget what she was doing. Randomly say hi to her? BAM, her face goes green and she has no idea what is going on. Don't even start with
buckets. Her embarrassment causes her to become shy and meek. She becomes rather clumsy, even though she is usually stable and calm.
•
guarded - She isn't easy to open up. She keeps almost everything bottled up, and doesn't let others know what's going on. She is also very cautious around others, and doesn't fully trust anyone. When around others, she will keep her arms crossed, and will look very uncomfortable.
•
soft-hearted - Maihue has a secret. She absolutely loves nature. Wildlife, plants, you name it and she'll express her fondness for it. Secretly and secludedly. She is horribly terrified of revealing this secret, and tries to hide her love for nature as best as she can. She tries to be gentle with everything around her, often ending up with her being hurt. If confronted by a beast of some sort, she will not kill it, she just can't bring herself to. Step on a plant? WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO.
