30 DAY CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT MEME;;

DAY FOUR (x)

Favorites and habits:   
What are some of your character’s hobbies? What do they do with their time?    She often sketches flora and fauna, and collects other people’s sketches. She loves to read, books about nature, history, geography, cultures, languages. Lyanna spends a lot of time with book merchants. She loves to dance, loves music of all kinds, really. She wishes she played an instrument, but thinks she lacks the talent and patience for it. 
Favorite color? The blue of winter roses, cerulean frost. 
Favorite music artists? Movies or TV shows? Books or authors? Actors?   This is definitely a modern Lya question, but she loves old school metal?? Like Metallica, Megadeth, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath– but she’ll really listen to almost anything. Her favorite movie is Lost in Translation. She watches a lot of crime shows like Criminal Minds and NCIS. She’s completely devoted to Cormac McCarthy, and she also reads a lot more poetry in her modern verse. 
Political stance? Are they active in politics or do they not care?   No matter the verse, Lyanna is always very politically active. She believed that Aerys needed to die, but she felt that Rhaegar should have been able to succeed him, and she feels very strongly that Robert Baratheon was a usurper who unjustly began a war in her name that she never wanted. Nevertheless, she acknowledges that without a living heir to the Targaryen throne (she would be super open to supporting Daenerys if and when she returns), she believes that Stannis is the saner of the remaining Baratheons, and also the best strategist. Biggest army. He’s the best ally to have, and he wants to legitimize Jon and put him in Winterfell, so she supports an alliance between Stannis and the North. This, however, is out of necessity– she does not feel that the Baratheons have a right to the iron throne. 
In her modern verse, Lyanna is a registered democrat and volunteers for a number of smaller causes (women’s shelter, food drives, etc.). 
What are some of their pet peeves? Waste and carelessness, rudeness, callousness. She hates it when people mistreat children, animals, or books. Also, if you want to live, do not step on her roses. 
What sort of gifts do they like? Thoughtful ones. The gesture is what counts. 
What is their favorite time of day? Favorite weather? Season?   Oh, when the sun is low on the horizon and all the birds have gone to sleep and the world is getting quiet and parents are calling their children inside and food is cooking for supper and you can just see the stars starting to peak out behind an orange sky… that’s her favorite time of day. She loves snow, but dislikes winter. Spring is her favorite because everything blooms. 
Where do they like to spend their time?   Outdoors. In the company of loved ones, or alone. 
Favorite food? Favorite drink? Hot drinks, soft drinks, or alcohol?    Fruit of any kind, and baked sweets. She doesn’t like alcohol much, but she could be persuaded to an occasional glass of wine. She likes hot chocolate, and she lives on coffee. Absolutely depends on coffee. Modern verse Lyanna is a vegetarian. 
Favorite animal?   I think every Stark has to answer this with wolf or they disown you. 
Do they have any pets? Do they want any? Modern Lyanna has a rescued dog. She’s a German Shepherd mix named Skadi. 
What relaxes them?   A lengthy bubble bath. Decaf coffee. The sound of her son laughing. Gardening. A long walk outside, swimming, a good work out, sparring. Soup. 
Do they have any bad habits?   Lyanna argues, even when she shouldn’t. She bottles things up, too, doesn’t feel like she can confide in many people. She bites her lips and the skin around her fingernails. She’s impatient at times, overemotional, holds grudges for years. She’s much better at taking care of others than herself. In her modern verse, she’s almost always late and swears like a sailor.
