Gliutter bombs, stink bombs.,er job also became her hobby. She's that lunatic who designs engines for work in toy form first and thus uses a 3D printer and Radio Shack parts to make prototypes for drones to zip around her street... Or not. You know... Engineer things.

Reading - Cherish lived with her Dad through college and as such she's developed an appetite for books nothing quenches.

[j]Chess - Cherish got into chess of all hgames for the sake of finding a new hobby and she really, really likes it. Really liukes it. She plays chess at the VA and with anyone in the park and while she doesn't always win... She learns every time.

From a class. Cherish knows a guy who's good at fighting and they tend to practiuce so she can build strength, confidence, and work on keeping safe in this modern age. So far she's gotten pretty good, and understands leverange... Anbd has put an attackjer through a wooden fence. She's still working on it.


Virtues:

Loyal
"Open up a route get people out!"

Time and experience has tempered Cherish from a delicate if angry flower into a balanced person but her loyalty remains, if evolved into a new degr4ee. Cherish is loyal, with reason. As long as you don't wrong her personally she's loyal to others and she will come if asked and apologize if she lets you down. She gives a damn!

So long as you gfit into her circle of friends - chaos or order or neiuther - and anyone else has to Deal with her stepping back or stepping in regardless. Loyalty matters to her, and she's not stepping down on it.

Clever
"Lightbulb."

Since moving in with her father foir college then buying a house, Cherish has worked on herself and discovered... She's not a dumb broad as she used to feel. She's acxtually clever and can be cunning if she wished. Mostly she applies this top uyseful things like solving problems or budgeting but it actually got her through college pretty quickly since she took summer classes and excelled, even with her major in mechanical engineering. She's not a genius, but just clever enough to cover her weaknesses, or plan ahead for problems... Or... To build the glitter bomb making the portch pirates scream in the distance.

Trustworthy
"I gave my word to help."

When Cherish's trust ion her mother and twin vrother was broken Cherish resolved not to make their mistakes. To be a trustworthy person. She's thus calmed down and is The Persoin people can depend on with secrets, safety, and the like.

She's honest and forthright, and values building and keeping the trust oif others, even when it seems difficult. It's important to her to be trustworthy and she woirks daily to be so.

Flaws:

Ruthless
"For whom the bell tolls,,,"

If you know "Rutghlessness" from Epic, then you understand. Cherish is trutgless when provoked. Cold. She's prepared to do what she must to ensure the job is done, and while not merciless, she's coild, effective, and downright vicious, especially if crossed or betrayed. She will not even always listen - as usually her loyalty is broken if sopmeone she knows earns her ruithless side... Or worse, someone broke her trust -- and when that happens... She's not... So nice, largely to afford herself the mercy one might not have afforded her by pissing her off.

Mildly Sadistic
"I'm lying through my teeth, your tears are all the company I need!"

Chertish is.. Well. She can be kind of sadistic. Not a lot, but noticeably. Like mentioning she hopews unkindness on someone who's on her bad side.... Or watching an opponent fail while snacking on her popcorn and smiling like an asshoile. She won't exactly inflict serious harm physically, she she will laugh her head off at the suffering of people she doesn't like. If she's displeased with a foe, she mostly just wants to sit and watch them suffer with snacks and a bigt grin. Makles her happy, it's not nice, but it's a thing peoiple notice.

Stubborn
"ISorry Mario your princess is in another castle."

Cherish doesn't like most people trying to make her change her mind. Pisses her off if you push, won't happen easily, and dear stars help you, once her mind is set, she'll take a lot of work to see it changed. The woman is bullheaded and refuses to change for most people, with exceptions being her littlke half siblings.... Or maybe her dad. Anyone else well.... Yeah, sorry, she's nmore likely to argue until she's red in the face then stomp away in a bad mood.

Well unless he trusts you. If he does, he'll even trade book suggestions. The exception to this is small children, and older people. He's just... Kind of embarressed to admit he's a booknerd.

Travel
Flint loves to travel. A lot. Perhaps topo much. This man will happily travel anywhere for a new adventure, to learn new cultures, to seek out new lives and-- Well you get the picture. He even researches a country before arriving to be respectful and safe and he cvan get away wioth visiting a lot of places. This is a man willing to drag his friends along, even for business trips to get new propducts for Silk Moth or consiuder a new company, or just for fun. He's not liomited to flyiong either although he WILL fly first and so will you. He's also taken high-end cruises, and sailed on the Queen Mary 2 because to Flint, this is FUN. So is Amtrak. As long as he can see something new or enjoy a change of scenery, it's good and he'll egg people into joining him.,., Even for silly things like seeing the original Queen Mary.... Or Six Flags. He's literally game for anything.

Of consoles and even some old computers. Flint collects Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinderm, and all the homebrews, crowdfunder games, even Critical Roll's stuff. He loves Critical Roll. Eos loves to enjoys the logistics, surprisingly, of working out characters... And gaming the system like most. Mind, in video games he likes playing casually, although his favored genrews are varied. That said.. The only thing close to a shooter he plays is modern Fallout but he also likes Doom. Duke Nukem. Don't look in Flint's Sims games though. Do not. And he's fine playing multiplayer games!.... But mostly things like Mario Brothers and will not explain it.

Mythology
Flint won't admit he likes learning about mythology. For fun. Reading old myths is fun but it always leads to him reading about the cultures and studying the cultures and practices associated. Fliunt even likes to study modern practices and beliefs around old gods and stories, from paganism for his personal notes and... Reasons, to retellings, to games based on myths. He';s quite a bit unwilling to admit it, and... Well he's also quite a lot going to deny it... Unless you bring up the game Hades or [iHades 2 and then Flint will not shut upo.

Virtues:

Compassionate
If you want to save your aoul from hell or rising on our range, then cowboy changte your ways today...
"What a nice man" is not the first thought one has meeting Flint, but those in his inner circle have seen his best. Flint grew up wealthy, but he didn't have it easy. Flint triues to share his wealth to better the lives of others. Sometimes poor, high-performing students find their school tuitions paid by an anonymopus source - with a meal plan and housing besides. Sometimes a strugglking family finds their house paid off and saved and a doination in their bank account to get by until they're working. Sopmetimes... Thet expensive medical treatment is paid anonymously and a life goes home well and healthy, with no name linked. Flint does this often. It's small things usually but he will open his wallet and his heart to people in need, even vvolunteering at the city nursing homes to visit the elderly, or he reads to kids in poor schools. Flint's not exactly open about it but when he sees people who need a helping hand... His rock heart melts and he'll stick his hat in to change the course, even if he's too embarressed to admit he's a compassionate lsweetheart to most.

Driven
We fought hard! Held our guard!
Flint works hard to better his life, his business and company, and achieve his goals. Flint will work hard and press for better, and has for his entire life, beginning with his drive to press towards proving he's a b oy, actually, thank you, and that drive keeps him working to improve, both his life and business, his company, and even those cloise to him and important to him. Flint has drive to remain in the game, and, if able, on top.

Protective
You and I will stand and fight out backs to the wall.
When fFlint cares... Flint sincerely wants to improve the lives of others. To be there for them. To give his best. Flint also knows he has means, and a spicy enough personality to protect those he cares for without hesitation. If Flint considers you one of his opwn... Well dear gods help anyone whom comes for you, because Flint is a protective soul whom will defend your safety and honor - but he's not one to go overboard. He stands aside and asks,m but if he's there, he'll be cheering. Loudly.

Resourceful
Remember every trick in your domain for this, you gotta treat it like the main event...
Flint is always thinking. Planning. Preparing. And when he needs topm Flint applies himself. Flint has resources. He knows how tov get what is needed, how to get things fdone, at least in reasonable realms,. he knows when to call in his contaxcts or whenb to tap his own things. Flint plans and prepares, and he's never caught with his bum blowing in the wind offguard. When Flint is under pressure, he has plans, ideas, tricks, or whatever it takes to get through it and out the other end. If one thing can be said... Fl;int has a plan. Flint always has a plan.


Flaws:


Defiant
I'm the boss b***h that you just can't meddle with.Flint does not like to take direction from people his doesn't know. Less if he dislikes you. Flint refuses to listen and simply "go with it",m he's going to question, needle, and resist being told how to act where to go and what to do unless you are exstremely close and it can take a lot of finangling for him to do things people ewant without explaining or rationalizing it in a way Flint agrees with. Flint can be difficult if she's not The Boss, and will often try to do what he feels is best if he deems someone else's ideas "idiotic" (his words) in day to day. Flint does try to compensate, but as everyone says.... "YOU DSHOULDN'T NEED TO BLOODY COMPANSATE!".


Pretender
I'm the thorn in your side makes you wriggle and writhe; and it's so easy when you're evil!
Flinrt is convinced everyone needs a viullian, an enemy toi hate and fight. So when Flint is pressed into conflict,ie sees a situation needing it... He slips into a villianous act and plays the absolute worst person necissary for the situation, playing the wrongdoer to see to iut others are covered, to be wicked and cover the traqcks opf his true goals, to be the viullliuan people need to be happy... And people hate it! Flint is mever pome to gibve a warning of what he's doing, and it often costs him a good deal, even if he has a plan.

Tempramental
Don't even try you ain't got clout, go ahead ******** around and find out
Flint is the living embodiment of ******** Around and Find Out,. ?He doesn't like starting things and as long as yoiu don't poke that bear, he's fine. And not poking the bear is wise. Instead, with Flint, it's worse if you poke the damn bear. When Flint is provoked, Flint will attack others, will turn from calm to a terrifying force of nature abd he applies himself to exacting his wrath. Once angry Flint is a terror beyond words and will not hesitate to lash out, and he has no qualms being.... Nasty doing soi.

Underhanded
I like when you get mad, it makes this old heart glad...
Flint is an honest businessman.... And the worst enemy you can make. He keeps professional life honest but his private life? Far from as cklean. No, noithing illegal, he's not quite willing toi risk it, but Flint will be underhanded when someone tests him. He has ways. Collecting information, seeking weaknesses, exp[loiting them... Flint will use every trick in his cap to contend with those whom wrong him and hios, and he will watch their world crumble if possible. If he seeks weakness, he will gladly take advantage of it in his enemies, either for his benefit or in retaliation - both good foir Flint.

Body Type: Flint is average sized, and he's lean muwscle. Noithing noticeable, but he does have muscle, despite being slim and trim, if only because it builds his confidence.
