#PennedPossibilities #PennedPossibilities 638 — Is your SC more introverted or extroverted? Or do they fall somewhere in the middle?
Reina Īto is extraverted to the max. She was the first child born on Mars by over a year and was pampered by her mother (a chief scientist on the Mars colonization mission), and later looked up to as the big sis for the entire generation of Nisei born on Mars. She's sparkly and full of TMI situations, but also incredibly brilliant because she was never told she couldn't do stuff the way girls on Earth often were. She takes her big sis role seriously, and values friendship and closeness above most everything else, and protects her generation from reactionary ideas of gender and sexuality that would constrain women.
Marisela is the girl who could. She's May Ri's eldest daughter, and was shy when young, but you get the idea she's more extroverted when at 4 years old she scolds other adults waggling a finger when they don't treat her mother right, then a few years later announces, when her father returns home (he's gone 4/5th of the year), that her mommy is going to be making funny noises again that night. She takes up challenges, especially when it lets her do things, and more so when it makes her friends. She's very Nisei in the Martian sense, and becomes a symbol of the new Mars by her 22nd birthday.
