Letting you know, I didn't forget about this ask. It just had to take some time for me to think.

MITSU: Expect her to be a complete hermit. Unless you need her for something or she has a guest over, don't really expect her to be in the main room cause she'll be in her room either working on her weaving or napping. Only time she'll be usually out is if she does chores around the place. On the upside, you don't have to worry about her invading your privacy and she can take care of herself...when she remembers to.

She's a very quiet person but not emotionless. She'll usually excuse herself if she starts getting upset but she does have meltdowns and they can be unpredictable. It's hard to read her sometimes but if you live with her long enough, you start to understand her actions. Maybe.

Just for that alone, I'd rate her a 4 out of 10 at most, esp if she's your only roommate.

MUTSU: He's more prone to being out in the main areas than his sister and take care of himself as well. He's kind of more chill than Mitsu and while he's still shy, he'll try to be friendly. Like Mitsu, however, Mutsu is an emotional person and very prone to crying over stupid stuff. Unless you don't mind seeing a grown ass catted man crying over some stupid drama or a cute animal, it can get p annoying. He's also prone to violent mood swings and panic attacks but you gotta be REALLY pushing him to get that far.

Also he's an animal lover. Expect him to have an animal friend come by at least once a day. If you're a neat freak and can't stand to have animal tracks all the time, he's probably not the one for you.

7 out of 10 for being generally easy to deal with but you gotta deal with all that animal BS and his mood swings

ANDREA: This guy is like one of those roommates who don't do shit around the house like cleaning up or cooking but you still keep him around cause he pays most of the rent and knows how to find cheap but reasonable living spaces. If you need someone to help you on rent, he can cover for you. Just don't ask where he gets the money.

He isn't around most of the time cause he's working or chilling at his date of the week's place so chores are p much on you. Sometimes he'll want to invite himself on your outings if he's at home or bored but won't hold it against you if you say no. When he is at home, he'll probably be watching TV or napping on the couch. He'd want to have his siblings, esp Renee, over from time to time so expect like surprise visits cause he'll probably forget to tell you.

His main problem, aside from being a lazy bum at home and his general vulgar humor, is because he's someone who sleeps around a lot and stuff, you should expect some stupid relationship drama or some shit. While he won't consciously sleep with someone who's taken, he'll still get dragged into that mess and you might get the front seat to that trainwreck.

6 out of 10 for stable finance and living but you gotta clean up after him and dealing with his vulgar ass while running the risk you'll get involved in his love life drama.

FOOL: She'd probably be one of those people moving out for the first time and not knowing how being an adult works. You have to hold her hand on a lot of things but once things get settled, she'll try to pay you back by basically being your own personal maid. She'll clean, handle laundry, and even cook if you give her some recipes to work with. She generally isn't hard to deal with either, the only real problem being how slow she can be and her rare accounts of violent anger. Like with Mutsu, you have to push her real hard to get to that point.

She's also a great guard dog and any home intruders will turn the other way the moment they see a towering and intimidating woman about to run at them with some improvised weapon in her hands.

7 out of 10. She might not help with rent too much by being your personal maid by day and guard dog by night.

My first instinct is to put a disclaimer that I am going the anime route of making Mitsu a teenager at the start of ARR cause making her any older is weird to me and also she’s somewhere on the gray spectrum and is generally disinterested in people in general so romance isn’t and has never been a big part of her stories.

If you’re asking in terms of shipping, Mitsu’s only other valid option is Alphinaud since her other options are either 1) much older than her, 2) too toxic that’ll cause eventually lead her to a terrible and premature end, or 3) all of the above but she has complicated feelings towards him and personality wise, she’s grown to appreciate Alisaie more than her brother. I’d say her relationship with not only Alisaie but also Alphinaud have been a big part of her development throughout the expansions, though I am not afraid to admit my bias towards them hasn’t been an influence too.

If you want an actual reason that’s not just me trying to justify why I ship her with my daughter, it was literally out of nowhere. I had no desire to ship Mitsu with anyone initially since I didn’t care too much about the game by SB. I liked Alphinaud based on his design alone but wasn’t too invested in him or his sister along with rest of the characters except for like…Yotsuyu.

It’s not till like probably 4.4 years when I finally started paying attention to the story and seeing the whole Titan disaster thing made me feel some sort of way. Seeing Alisaie and Mitsu in that one cutscene was what initially got me thinking “ok ok they cute ig”

and then 4.5 hit and suddenly I sold my soul to the wolship and this stupid MMO and now I spent a good chunk of my time dedicated to writing lore not just for Mitsu or Mutsu or Andrea but basically making A WHOLE GODDAMN UNIVERSE IN MY TINY BRAIN OF MINE

TL DR; I didn’t want this life. This life is keeping me hostage.
