Character Name: (Ezri) Dax

What do they usually wear? Trousers, sweaters, comfortable robes, shades of greys and blues. Her style is 'comfort' and 'practical' and 'not worrying about it much'. Once in a while, she'll have one of Palamedes' silly hats with her.

Routine/common activities:

In the morning, she always goes for a run with Flynn.
and often stops by the bathhouse after. She has no preference for room, and is often in the communal room as well.
During the day, it's easy to find her outside reading under the manor veranda or in the lobby.
At mealtimes, when she's eating in public, she's cheerful and engaged and wants to talk! She'll slide up to chat with anyone and wave anyone who looks like they're not sure where to sit over to join her.
At night, Dax doesn't sleep much - she doesn't even sleep every night (it's an 'alien who needs less sleep' thing). So she's often up working on something, talking to another night owl in the lobby, or reading.

Does your character read the books? Which ones? Do they share the books? YES. ABSOLUTELY. The smut scenes get questions left in them scribbled in the margins, often critique on the realism or a comment about how enthusiastic they must be to be managing x thing. Sometimes just a tongue-in-cheek 'wow! humans!' note at any type of exchange.

She also got her own, real book from the gravedigger last month. It's a polyam romance with a lot of Trill society social commentary. She feels a little weird about the social commentary aspect of it, so she'll only tell close CR she has it.

Is there anything unusual about them? Just the spots on her face. And not unusual, persay, but she's a super animated person! See her talking across the room, and her body language will basically telegraph the conversation. A lot of hand gestures and head/body bops.

What their current vibe is: Dax's cheerful demeanor is a little more forced than normal. She's very worried about a few people and has been seen less than usual this month as she babies a few friends.

What CR are you interested in: Friends, always!! I'd love to talk out some casual, hand-waved blooming friendships with anyone she hasn't threaded extensively with yet. Dax is always here to listen to anyone, support them, and enable shenanigans ranging from lighthearted pranks to hyper-fixating on projects. (p.s. If any character has a tech project idea they want to try but don't have the skill for, come talk to Dax! She loves them.)

Anything else?
