Her creature comforts tend to be routines rather than physical objects. The process of getting her coffee ready in the morning, feeding the stray cat outside her apartment in the evening. She did have some light catchers hanging in her apartment that she liked just for the aesthetics, even though she considered them frivolous. Pet peeves are when people disagree with ideas that Maketh considers logical, or when they do things against what she sees as their best interest. Also people touching her stuff, even if it's in an attempt to be helpful. This is the reason why no one can bring her coffee or help with her uniform. They do it wrong.

Regrets? Ahahahahhaha. Oh so many. There's the fact that she essentially dedicated her life to helping a totalitarian dictatorship take over the galaxy, that all her efforts to improve things for civilians on Lothal just made everything worse, and that the actions she took - right or wrong - led to events that got her subordinates killed, and caused several of her trusted allies to turn on her. And, though this is buried pretty deep, there's the fact that she's essentially turned into the very thing that killed her parents. So how does one deal with this? Well, Maketh is throwing herself into work. Essentially the reason she's preparing for war against the gods (why, maketh, why) is so she doesn't have to think about the past. She fully expects to be killed in the attempt. Obviously this isn't healthy, and it's not going to work as a coping mechanism for much longer. It'll be interesting to see where it ends up.

If she could have three things from her world, she'd take a pair of non-melted boots (custom fitted!), her personal datapad since it has her entire collection of books - nearly a library on its own, she collects them, and a military grade shield generator, which could be used to protect the majority of Hadriel. She's extremely distressed that the technology doesn't exist here. And if she could take people, she'd take Aresko and Grint, who were two soldiers under her command who got beheaded for screwing up. Maketh wasn't especially friendly with them - didn't really like them, actually - but she feels responsible for their deaths, and they're important to her now since they prompted the overhall of basically ever aspect of her life.

'she's essentially turned into the very thing that killed her parents.
Oh god, that's so horribly sad ;_; I have such a weakness for flawed characters who are decent at heart but have made some really questionable decisions and struggle with the consequences/are at odds with themselves.

I look forward to seeing how she copes with the shit Hadriel throws at her, given how much routine and order means to her! Do you think she'll learn to bend before she breaks, or will it be more (another?) a case of shatter and reforge?

Me too. Especially when there's the question of whether or not their actions - however well intentioned now - can ever make up for the horrible shit they allowed to happen.

Funny you should ask that. I have plans for after the wendigo event. Short answer: yeah, no, she's gonna snap under the pressure. She'll mostly handle the wendigo thing, but after getting killed or cured, she'll have enough time to sit back and let everything hit here. Which will not be pretty. Maketh's coping mechanisms are not good.

Also, any plans for Henry during the wendigo event?

[hotspurred]

Well hey, Henry's got a bottle of whiskey...?

And no, not yet! Originally I was going to sit it out because a friend was meant to be visiting for a week, but she feel ill and we've had to cancel our plans. So now I actually have the time to get involved! He won't be going wendigo, but that's all I've settled on. :)

It'll be used, let me assure you.

Hmm. You know, I have an idea you might be interested in. I'm going out right now, but I'll leave a comment in your drop box when I get back, and you can see if that's something you'd like to do.

Also, anything else you'd like them to do in the thread? It seems like it's winding down.

[hotspurred]

Okay!

And nah, I'm happy to end it there! You can assume that he shoots any jabberjays that get annoying on the route there. No hesitation or comment at all.
