a list of uncanny nonsense
An assortment of appearance and habit tidbits in no particular order. MAYBE I'LL CLEAN IT UP SOMEDAY BUT... probably not, laughs.
Her weight is pretty variable! Generally around the "heavy cat" mark but it's never really steady; tends to go up under the same circumstances her eyes/hair get darker or when she's lying on him with intent to keep him there (ie CAT MODE), lighter when she's in a particularly good/trolly/etc mood.
Scars: also variable. She always has a small dimply one on her right temple she takes pains to keep hidden by her bangs (which she also wiggles away from letting him get his fingers near like 99% of the time), a big (if somewhat faded) starburst of scar tissue right over her heart, and a bracelet of thick surgical scarring around her right wrist. When she's comfortable she also usually has the kind of scarring on her knuckles one gets from punching things a lot, another smaller starburst-looking bullet wound in the joint of her left shoulder. More randomly, sometimes she will also have:
- an assortment of cuts and gashes, mostly on her forearms but with some on her upper arms/shoulders/chest. Most are nicks, one or two are deeper stabs/cuts wounds from using her arms to stop knives
- surgical scars. lots and lots of surgical scars- this is a rough map of them. These are usually pretty faded, but if she's in the same kind of mood where her eyes/hair change they'll start getting fresher/more nasty looking; the one on her face usually comes into focus last unless she letting them come back on purpose. They're all incredibly ragged-- about what you'd expect from deep wounds that were torn open and then re-stitched many, many times. (The one around her wrist also has what looks like faint bite marks on it over her pulse.)
Not a scar, but always present: she's got a little pink birthmark-looking patch about an inch and a half across on her lower back, just to the left of her spine. Poking at/around it gets the kind of exaggerated reactions you'd expect from going after somewhere tickling except without laughter involved-- it's sensitive to the point of near pain, basically.Being gentle with it gets interesting results, though.
Body type: Tiny. 5'2", maybe a b-cup at most; narrow shoulders, broad hips. Has enough baby fat on her that her muscles aren't really apparent until she flexes or stretches or unless she's being touched.
MOODRING EYES: They're usually bright neon and very clear, but if she starts getting too pensive or in the wrong sort of bad mood they'll start shifting towards a sort of dull slate color and stop reflecting light correctly— kind of like cataracts but without the cloudiness. Her hair does the same thing, with the color change starting at the tips and spreading upwards (accompanied by it getting less fluffy). (Related: if her mood starts slipping she'll start periodically tugging locks of hair up to look at the ends. This probably made zero sense for a while.)
Electronics usually react to her mood a little, ie lights will flicker or dim if she starts getting upset, speakers/headphones will get start putting out static, etc. She can be photographed and recorded just fine though (unless she decides otherwise). She can put herself on lockdown so she doesn't do this but usually doesn't bother
Various habits: the aforementioned hair-checking. Also fusses with the scarring on her wrist (running her fingers over it, tugging her sleeve over it, etc.; more rarely digging her nails in, which is usually accompanied by "oh shit I didn't mean to do that" sort of behavior). Doesn't really fidget or touch things with her hands except to move/use things; keeps them tucked behind her back or to her sides a lot and doesn't include them in her body language much except for making grabby-hands flexing her fingers motions when she's openly unsure or upset. Does rarely touch things and get completely distracted by the tactile sensation; also sometimes just sticks her face on things, which is often accompanied by smooshing or rubbing her left cheek up against it like a cat. (Both have happened with Zoro's hair at least once. Probably also his sword calluses.)
Usually has some sort of "yes there's another person here" presence to her but sometimes just... doesn't? Like sometimes she might as well be an inanimate object or something. (More likely to happen with the aforementioned Dark Moods or if she's distracted to the point of not being mentally present.) Conversely, sometimes it feels like she's there when she definitely isn't (usually because she obviously is, or once Zoro is sufficiently symbolically Hers is just mentally checking in).
Nearly always carries enough of a static charge to feel if you get close, though not enough to actually shock unless you startle her. Usually feels a little like touching an old CRT monitor or television screen; that kind of fuzzy feeling.
