Riselle is pretty neutral when it comes to big parties. Not the type to approach people for no reason, but doesn't mind it. In a party she'd probably want to flaunt her skills in playing different musical instruments!
Want to suggest a question? Feel free to DM me!
I figured that since the "weekly show me a character" thread has been alive and running for a couple of years now, I could give a shot at doing similar with development questions! I'll post a new prompt each week both on this starter thread and the comment section! Feel free to post answers weekly or combine previous ones into one post - whichever feels the best for you.
Week 43: (Pick a character) How do they feel about big gatherings like parties? Do they enjoy having a lot of people around them or do they prefer less (or none)? How likely are they to approach people they don't know?

"A Party... WOOO BRING OUT THE BUFFET! Time to meet some peeps who may be added to my growing list of friends. I can't wait to tell them how awesome my life is!" She loves a good party but has a habit of drinking too much coffee during one and becomes extreamly anoyying due to becomeing hyperactive then suffering from caffeine crash the next day! And is to tired to be able to focus on even the simplest things.
OHHH THIS GIRL AND PARTIES!! Lemme tell you, she's probably my most extroverted gal I've got!!! She'll be the one that makes the party wild with all her constant jokes, tricks and unending blabbering!! She'll NEVER shut up once you start talking to her and having a great time!! The MORE people at the party, the merrier!! She'll be sad if you don't join in on the fun, and she'll do her best to make sure even the most quiet person at the party has a laugh!!
he likes parties and gatherings but he has no idea how they work. being around a bunch of people makes him excited and that's as far as it goes ehe. Tsu has made up "party games" just to embarrass him
Chance is an ambivert, so he needs both alone time to recharge, and plenty of socialization. He enjoys large gatherings, but has a time limit on how long he can handle them. He does love being around people, though, and will be just as happy being with a big group as a small group. He's great at connecting with strangers, but has a difficult time taking new relationships any deeper than friendly acquaintances, so he ends up pretty lonely despite how easy he is to get along with.
This one seemed to die, could I suggest a few questions?0:
- Does your oc have a disability? If so how do they cope/adapt with it or do they wish they weren't in this situation to begin with?
- Does your oc have any additional abilities or "superpowers" they're hiding or are unaware of yet? If they do what is it and how do they keep it hidden?
- Do they have a job they were forced into by a parent or guardian? If so how do they feel about it or did it actually turned out to be a job they wanted to do?
Sorry if some of these were already asked/done, figured I'd at least help out if anything.
Parties and big gatherings aren't usually her thing. She'll usually only go to parties if the party is being thrown for her, or if she's familiar with the party's host. Kat doesn't really like having a lot of people around her, unless she at least knows some of them. She usually loosens up a bit around her friends and family and will typically act more social when she's with them, but even so, being in a large crowd would still be a little annoying for her if she doesn't know most of the people. She'd usually try to stick with her friends in a large crowd. Usually, people approach Kat, not the other way around. However, if Kat sees someone that intrigues her, she'll be very likely to approach them.
Astabelle is pretty much a party animal. She started off as an opera singer and had formerly enjoyed large put high class crowds. After losing her voice she became an EDM artist and got into the Rave scene. She is all about large and wild crowds. She actually tends to prefer strangers to people that she is familar with and will talk to anyone and everyone.
Despite being somewhat of a recluse, Gavriil's only gripe with parties is that most hosts are not prepared to accommodate to their needs. They find that ensuring an event is up to their standards (for the sake of their mental & physical health, that is) is exhausting for everyone involved and often leads to them being monitored or babied, so unexpected invitations typically just end up as kindling. They don't really mind socializing otherwise, so long as there's always a familiar face nearby.
