{{OOC}} Preliminary personality sketch.
Here's the best prediction I can make about Mali's personality. I usually realize new things about the way someone might behave as I play, though, as new things occur to me based on their pasts and the situations they presently find themselves in. (Why do you have a sense of humor, Linner. o.o)
--Mali is a brat. (What a surprise.) She’s not supposed to talk to new people so she might be nervous about it at first, but once she opens her mouth she’s pretty blunt.
--She’s not afraid of hitting people who make her angry, so long as they’re smaller than her - not afraid of being an unholy terror to anyone she can actually feel a little bit superior to, in fact, since that’s so rare, though it starts out as a very lording-over attitude and goes from there.
--Multiple trips to the surface have only fueled her desire to get out of her home for good, and she’s very nosy - she has to seize each opportunity to look at something new since she doesn’t know when it’s coming again.
--Has been known to throw temper tantrums but thankfully is growing out of that. Now she just pouts and gets passive-aggressive, since that wears Isis down. Has spent a lot of time by herself playing pretend/imagining a different situation for herself, but having the chance to actually experience it will likely cut down on that impulse.
--Will do anything, both good and bad behaviors (though she’s more used to the latter), to get attention. Treat her like she’s a good girl, or an interesting/special person, and she’s almost bound to like you. (And show you every little thing she does that she’s proud of to get even more praise but, well. Comes with the package.)
--Treating her like an adult will also get you in her good books; since she’s the youngest person in that tomb of any importance - there are some servants’ kids she bosses around sometimes - she likes being treated as an equal. Is the jealous/possessive type.
--Does do things for other people but only if she thinks there will be something in it for her. Is used to solitary pursuits so playing with other kids should be fun, as long as she’s in charge, etc., though she might look up to older kids too.
--Is the huggy type - the physical type in general, since she’s seen her father act out power relationships physically. Wastes no time thinking about why she feels the way she feels - she just feels it. (She does brood, though: “stupid so-and-so, it’s all their fault, etc.”).
--She doesn’t hate the Pharaoh or other authority figures, per se. Or at least, she hasn’t realized that she does yet - she’s old enough to start questioning authority but young enough to be uncomfortable about it. Will likely be disappointed upon meeting any Pharaohs. (“What’s so special about you?”)
--Likes the following things: Having something definite to do that she knows how to do, learning new things, showing off, exploring the world around her, playing games and sports, using pretend-play as an outlet for everything she can’t express in reality - particularly drawing because that’s something she can do by herself and she was by herself a lot.
--Hates the following things: Being idle, being quiet if she has an opinion about something, being talked down to, being ignored. She’ll put up with all of them if she sees attention/praise at the end of it, however.
