>>55459670>what's your ocs fear response? fight/flight/freeze/fawn?Very little puts a genuine fear response in Emily but the rare occasions it does you'd easily miss it cause it's one of the few things that send her towards violence the quickest. It's indistinguishable from any other kind of "fight" response since to her anything that can sorta of unnerve her in that way is directly correlated with "kill or be killed".
>what are their best traits? what are their most self destructive?For all that straight faced coldness she puts on, people have in more than one story come to see that Emily across all her renditions is a very generous, selfless and compassionate girl who tries to hide this softness behind her usual tough and icy facade. Like in one non-Pokemon story
she was out in a tundra region and killed a Dragon that attacked a village that had done nothing to wrong said dragon, leaving it as a frozen, preserved warning to other dragons that unsolicited attacks could result in them being subjected to the same fate. The village was largely flattened and the nearby capital refused to take in many of the people. Emily ended up taking the people with them and having them work in a tavern that is connected to various pocket spaces of her making so they had a place to live and also a means to provide for themselves. Some of them had moved on to other prospects elsewhere while some still work and live in the tavern. All the people however were very grateful to her for both saving them and also giving them a place to live and find work to sustain themselves with. The partner I am writing said story with actually found it surprising that Emily has a hidden track record of similar deeds, general generosity and compassion for actually innocent people painted across the region like a trail. Her self destructive tendency tends to be self-isolation and treating herself like a weapon, but usually a partner character gradually puts a halt to that.
