Yes, actually. [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] Bendixon, the middle child and only daughter of [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] Bendixon and [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] Bendixon and sister of [name_m]Brent[/name_m] Bendixon and [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] “Luke” Bendixon, displayed numerous OCD traits since early adolescence, but her symptoms only intensified since her friendship with her two childhood friends ended. Since then, [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] has distracted herself from her emotional turmoil by focusing on managing her day-to-day tasks and overly involving herself in her family’s well-being, which her parents appreciate, and her brothers hate. Fortunately, she eventually rekindles her relationships with her friends and seeks help for managing her OCD once she’s officially diagnosed with the condition.

[name_f]My[/name_f] goodness, I didn’t even know that was a thing! But I actually do have some characters that fit. [name_f]Queen[/name_f] [name_f]Lavanda[/name_f] [name_m]Brynmore[/name_m], [name_m]Nereus[/name_m] [name_m]Severin[/name_m], [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Ruben[/name_m] [name_m]Evron[/name_m], Jackal, [name_m]Meteor[/name_m], [name_f]Caitrona[/name_f], and [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_m]Garland[/name_m] are a few.

Yes, but only if you count the WoF and Warriors OCs (and sometimes not even then).
DYHAC who are secretly royalty? This KEEPS HAPPENING TO ME, I don’t know what to do
1 Like
Yep and most of them don’t even know right away. [name_m]Remus[/name_m] [name_m]Conall[/name_m] is the first born son of [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Lysander[/name_m], but [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] doesn’t accept him. Sandstorm was raised away from home and 100% thought his parents sent him away because they didn’t want him, not because he’s the heir to the throne and they wanted to keep him safe. [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Elestren[/name_f] has a similar story, except she’s not a cynic and was told that her parents are dead (which is true). And then there’s [name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]Julius[/name_m] [name_m]Bram[/name_m] (Jules), who has to hide his identity to avoid an arranged marriage with an evil sorceress.

Rhys/Mir doesn’t like horses or riding in horse-drawn carriages (but those are the main ways to get around with any speed, so they kind of have to deal with it). A few other characters have phobias (acrophobia, claustrophobia, arachnophobia).

DYHAC who have more than 5 pets?

I’m certain I do. The [name_m]Hanson[/name_m] family has a huge amount of dogs, but the dogs aren’t really pets (they are working dogs). Other than that, I can’t think of any specific examples, but I’m sure at least some of the royals have menageries.
DYHAC who are insectivorous (eat mainly bugs)?

The very vast majority of my characters are humanoid, so no, not really (unless you count Basil’s chickens)
The chickens really ought to be dead, what with the fire and all, but I decided they got readopted and Basil’s grandmother actually still has one. I’m not completely merciless.

Oh I did! I do that all the time, I’m so sorry!!
DYHAC who don’t like pizza?
2 Likes
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] Mortenson, being the health freak that she is due to her trauma stemming from bullying due to her childhood obesity (which arose from her mother’s poor dietary choices for her family), heavily restricts junk food from not only her own diet, but that of her children’s as well. I’m sure pizza classifies as such in her eyes and is thus subject to her dislike.
DYHAC who suffer from an eating disorder or trauma regarding food?

I don’t know that I do, actually. [name_m]Ash[/name_m] [name_m]Wood[/name_m] does have some fear surrounding food after having been poisoned so many times, but it’s not exactly trauma, more like anxiety.
DYHAC who have a phobia?

If we’re talking about proper phobias [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f] has astraphobia or fear of thunderstorms and [name_m]Aurelius[/name_m] has hemophobia or fear of blood.
(Otherwise [name_m]Ornette[/name_m] is scared of geese, [name_m]Orpheus[/name_m] is freaked out by lizards, and [name_f]Caprise[/name_f] isn’t a fan of the dark and quiet).

Yep!
[name_m]Dez[/name_m] [name_m]Autry[/name_m], [name_f]Fiametta[/name_f] [name_m]Coburn[/name_m], [name_f]Tetsu[/name_f] [name_f]Elzada[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] [name_m]Autry[/name_m], [name_m]Steven[/name_m] [name_m]Autry[/name_m], and several others can (though, for the most part, only the fire they wield). [name_f]Hestia[/name_f] “Tia” [name_m]Reid[/name_m] is an actual fire goddess and her son [name_m]Tyler[/name_m] is a very flammable demigod with a habit of accidentally causing objects to spontaneously combust.

Actually, no! I suppose I have an important and referenced mythical figure (a dual-gift with both fire elementalism and air elementalism), but she’s not really a character, per say.

I don’t think I do, actually. However, the theocratic island kingdom of [name_m]Serapion[/name_m] is named after the god they worship (who resembles a minotaur and is actually a demon, but that’s another story).
