✚: What is the most frightening potential handicap or disfigurement your muse can conceive? What makes it so frightening?

I think going blind would be the thing Hakuba fears the most. It would impair basically everything that he does, and he would lose so much independence and control, which he needs. I mean, he could relearn a lot of it and, with help, could get by… but it would be such a drastic change from everything he knows. 

Which is part of why running The Butcher plot with Hakuba is so much fun~

If we’re not talking about the self-insert character that Hakuba wrote in his (SECRET) novel, then Sakura Jane Hakuba is… … very similar to how he normally is. Well, and she’s a lot more cautious. She can’t take the risks that her much taller, stronger male counterpart can, but she’s also far more vocal. 

It’s just pencil skirts instead of dress slacks, heels and flats instead of loafers. Still a lot of ties, but also lots and lots of lacy underwear. I bet she’s spent the equivalent of Saguru’s tie collection on cute and stylish underthings.

In Another Life

Send “In Another Life” and I’ll tell you a fact about an AU version of my character.

In the fairy tale/fantasy AU, Hakuba was the prince of a fallen kingdom and thought to be dead. He went on to travel for years and became known as The Austringer– a hunter who travelled through neighboring kingdoms, surviving off of the land in disguise. Rumors spread that he was the best marksman in the land, that there was nothing he couldn’t track, and that his hawk scouted for him and whispered all of the secrets of the kingdoms in his ear.

And he was good at hunting, yes, and surviving in the wild. But his true mission was to steal certain magical artifacts from each of the surrounding kingdoms to compose the full suit of armor that would allow him to face the evil necromancer in his homeland, defeat him, and restore peace to the kingdom. 

…alas, this meant stealing from Heiji’s empire, which, uh, did not go over well at all…
