Food Preferences

LIKES: FinRis is not a picky eater and will happily try almost anything that is offered to him. He especially enjoys hearty, savory fare such as steak and potatoes, and he’s convinced that onions belong in most foods. He also appreciates a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, meats, and cheeses. For snacks, he favors meats, cheeses, and blackberries, though all other berries are enjoyed as well.

DISLIKES: FinRis does not care for olives and usually avoids fish, though he can occasionally be surprised by a dish. He also does not have much of a sweet tooth.

Drink Preferences

LIKES: At events, FinRis enjoys beverages that suit both energy and taste. He values coffee in the morning, preferably with Irish cream, and throughout the day he enjoys water, Mountain Dew, or energy drinks. Sports drinks are especially welcome when he is fighting, and he even appreciates pickles or pickle juice for electrolytes. When it comes to alcohol, he favors blackberry brandy, meads, and his favorite beer, Michelob AmberBock.

Food Preferences

LIKES: Seraphina enjoys exploring new foods and loves variety – whether fruits, vegetables, meats, or cheeses. She’ll try almost anything once (and often more than once) and has a particular fondness for dark chocolate. For quick snacks, she appreciates easy, protein-rich options like jerky, charcuterie boards, fresh fruits, and veggies – and she absolutely loves sushi.

At feasts, she’s especially happy when the meal reflects different cultures or traditions, particularly if there’s something new to learn in the process.

DISLIKES: Seraphina is sensitive to sugar substitutes and prefers the natural sweetness of honey or regular sugar. She isn’t fond of liver, anise, caraway seed, or white chocolate. She has a serious allergy to lemongrass, and strong scents can sometimes cause headaches.

Drink Preferences

LIKES: When it comes to drinks, she enjoys coffee in the morning, sparkling water throughout the day, and sometimes a Cherry Coke or Dr. Pepper. For health-focused options, she favors Body Armor over Gatorade, as well as ginger beer or kombucha. She does enjoy a drink on occasion, particularly wines and meads, especially in good company.
