saw us there--what a view

* Spending winter with Jon, learning to help him out. (significant positive)

No excerpt! This is a between-the-lines montage of quiet, pleasant memory--a couple of months learning to clean and cook and bake and help and settle into a household and feel like she was useful and belonged somewhere! Possibly the longest sustained period of being happy that she has in her registry.

+ Makes her a ton less depressed, so she won't try to run away from her team and games altogether (which she was on the verge of doing before this game olol :'D)
+ Settles her comfortably into a caretaker role for Tiger's Eye.
+ She is still worried about Jon, and still dislikes crowds immensely, but she will be better able to deal as long as Tiger's Eye is there and there aren't any HUGE UPHEAVALS! for the next little while.

* The Emperor awarding her the emerald button. (significant neutral)

( long excerpt. )

+ This memory is pretty heavy! It's a blurry haze of FFFFFEEEEEEEELINGSSSSS and hits her hard--she was exhausted and confused and completely unhappy and sort of clinging to hope here re: the Dragon helping her out--and she doesn't have all the context for it.
+ She will not want to talk about it.
+ She will try to find an alternative way to wear her Tiger's Eye key because the collar now feels constricting. But the key itself will have an added layer of symbolism for her.
+ Large crowds now give her bad feelings. SUCKS TO BE TIMI IN A GAME MINGLE!
+ She is generally going to hide under beds and try to be alone more for a while.

* Cooking (baking specialty.)

What it says on the tin. Timi has the knowledge of how to cook! Simple rustic foods, very good. She lives with a baker, so what she's seen and learned the most of is baking: bread, pie, pastry.

HOWEVER, she is a) too small and flimsy to lift most kitchen things and b) does not have her 'hands' skill yet, which would allow her to actually carry and stir and pick up things with her front paws. So she will probably just do a lot of quests for cooking supplies, then sit on Asch's head and have him be her hands, Ratatouille-style.

EVERYONE SHE LOVES IS GETTING PIE EVENTUALLY. :I

* Feeding the Dragon her apple dumpling, getting him to eat. Being offered help. (significant neutral.)

( excerpt. )

+ DRAGON. IMPERIAL DRAGON. CHILLING WITH THE EMPEROR OF CHINA. Will definitely tell Hermana about it. And conversations with Temeraire are going to get so interesting.
+ This is super disorienting because everyone in it is different and she's in the Old Palace, not Jon's house. Where's Jon? She is very unhappy. And the memory cuts off before she tells the Dragon what happened, which is frustrating.
+ She now knows she can pick things up and do fine maneuvers with her forepaws, which she doesn't have the ability to do here.
+ If she thinks about it long enough, she'll realize she and the Dragon were both speaking another language from the one she usually uses. But she can't speak it here either.
+ When people are miserable, the answer is to mother them with food.
+ She'll treat people with fancy titles no more or less politely than people without.
+ Greater comfort with nonhumans; a sense of kinship. She's also rather less put off by grump.

* Running blindly down the mountain in a blizzard. (significant negative.)

( excerpt. )

+ FEAR OF SNOW. Snow sucks balls.
+ Knowledge that forest is her natural habitat...when it's not covered in snow.
+ I have to get to the village! (Doesn't know what a village is except 'somewhere safe.')
+ No idea what humans are.
+ No idea what she is.
+ Will be THE MOST SCARED AND SKITTISH at first.
