It's a rollercoaster

Them flinching when Hadrian or Alessa look at their cheek

"I look like a freak."

...
And then reading the parts of a Romanus who could not care less 😄

The guard punches you with a gauntlet hand in chapter 5! That leaves a deep cut that the MC quickly realizes will scar

Scars are a great way to show the punishment characters go through while achieving their goals, and can mean many different things to many different characters. I can't wait to act as nonchalant as possable while looking like a bond villain.

I also like scrappy, "Take a picture, it'll last longer," not quite hostile but truculent. Not quite Joe Pesci "Do I amuse you?" but maybe 20% of that.

One of the best things about IF is that you get to write opposites in personality. so fun to go from a drama queen/king to a person with the emotional depth of a stone wall 😄

I feel like my Romanus is going to be self conscious when it comes to her scar and Hadrian 😅
