Too slow

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

canon is post advent children and with the aspect of romance! BUT here's the plot twist-- it's not with a canon mate! It's someone from another canon. While I can build off of CR for Tifa, she's a very . . reserved person per say?

I would need advice on how she would reciprocate/show her feelings towards someone she cares for. I write Tifa as the way she is and it's hard writing her in a romantic way without her being with Cloud. Thanks in advance!

Honestly, I think her romantic way of being with someone else is probably still going to be much the same as she is with Cloud: being a caretaker and supportive, being attentive to their needs, hesitant to make the big romantic gestures but still wanting to make them and being very appreciative when the other person makes one. She might be quiet sometimes if a need of hers isn't being met, especially if she believes her partner is having a difficult time, but she doesn't hesitate to get in an argument once they've really crossed a line.

If they're not yet a couple/dating yet and you're working on showing just interest, physical details are good to keep in mind too. Both Aerith and Tifa had different gestures that would sometimes see use when they were talking to Cloud. Aerith was flirtier and would lean in toward him; iirc Tifa would look aside at times and cross one foot behind the other, things like that. She can deliver flirty lines herself once in a while! But more often she'd probably be revealing her interest more unintentionally: being very friendly and caring but also getting embarrassed or nervous at times and having it show through in her gestures. Because yeah, she is kind of reserved, and growing up she was always the one being courted--she didn't have to go trying to ask someone out when all the boys were asking her to meet them at night. How quickly a romance would go depends a lot on how forward her partner is, though if they're reserved as well she will slowly press forward herself.

She's also going to try to get along with the close CR of the person she's interested in, because family/friends are important to her. She's not going to be fake about it and I doubt she'd try to like, rush right in, but she'd be curious about them, she'd want to get along with them so it won't cause the person she likes any issues, and she'd probably be a little upset about it if she was running into genuine issues with someone very dear to the other person.
