Ye ye let's work out some cousin anecdotal things given that they would have grown up together and honestly are pretty compatible besides that.

Yes, definitely!

Lucille is honestly a very active person, and I've been keeping a lot of the details about her growing up fairly loose so she can slot in easily enough. If nothing else, Lucille probably followed her around when she was still very young, but what are some things that Natalia was (or is) into? Lucille probably took an interest in at least some things in order to be like her.

Well she has always loved animals, both the ones on farms and ones in the woods and such. It's been something she's always explored about to see if she can't find various species and observe/photograph them. I've established that her parents have three dogs around their orchards?

Also she liked to swim when she was younger, but that got harder post-arm. She picked up bowling as a lifelong physical hobby so she probably picked that up young.

I'd also set up that when she was really young (like younger than 11) she won the county faire type thing Young Miss Town or etc contests more than once, like popular with the adults for being cute and well spoken for her age. And then of course when she was eleven they discovered advanced bone cancer in her left arm and had to amputate it and she had to go through more than one year of physical therapy to adapt to it and then to the prosthetic and it made her school and just life in general a lot more complicated? She made it through in part due to family support and in part due to a NPC because a friend was going to app them and now it just kinda hangs there in the wind best friend growing up who was her support at school.

That said she also got a lot more invested in community outreach (volunteer work and such, which she still continues to do) and progressive thought (... I offscreen this for obvious reasons but I'm sure she's a member of Recolle's DSA chapter if they have one) then too? Became vegetarian around the time she was 17, was a bit of a tumblrina in her teen years I've established, generally just sort of outgrew the small town life so she leapt to go to college in a bigger cosmopolitan city like Recolle as soon as she could, even if she doesn't by any means have a bad relationship with her family and until the plot stuff in game started to prevent it visited them pretty regularly.

... she also likes to drive? Which she recognizes as a contradiction but still!!!

SORRY WORK GOT REALLY BUSY FOR ME. So what I'm thinking is that maybe these two would go out into the woods a lot, since Lucille is more of an adventurous girl and also following her cousin like her shadow. I imagine she also helped out during the summer/fall on the orchard as well.

She isn't necessarily as much a progressive (we'll see how vocal she gets as she begins to get regains), but if there's a cause that Natalia is putting herself out for, she will at least try to either support or... at least understand it to some degree. Community events are more her speed, though. She likes being around and helping people, so this could be something that they do together as well, when able.

Nat is tbh a little obnoxious if you get her going about politics or vegetarianism or like. ... Anything she can grandstand about. I kinda handwave that for the most part but it didn't feel true to her to not be able to do that so shrug.

BUT!! god yeah volunteering together and helping out at the orchards that's super cute. And honestly Lucielle is a much better student than her I'm sure but being the older cousin she does want to try to look presentable to her so Natalia probably keeps herself held to look respectable...

[personal profile] interlucere 2018-09-12 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no that's really cute. You don't have to go through so much effort, Nat!

I'm thinking she probably also visited the hospital often while she was getting treatment. Lucille has always been an avid reader, and if that's something she might have shared with Natalia, she would have brought her interesting books to pass the time. Fantasy novels are a guilty pleasure of hers.

NAT LIKES FANTASY.... and anime because she's the worst. But yeah reading together sounds real cute.

[personal profile] interlucere 2018-09-16 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe she was the one to get Lucille into that genre. That could potentially be really adorable.
