My main muse, who's been with me since very early childhood, looks a bit like the guy in my icon here. Very contemplative, striking blue eyes, hair that clearly used to be blond, sort of medium build, medium height. He's always been just a few years older than me, aging as I age. His forte is the cathartic aspect of my creativity: he helps me turn real emotions and internal dramas into stories others might find cathartic as well. He tends to wear white button-downs, loose with the sleeves rolled up, then jeans or khakis. He sometimes adds a jacket.
Another muse is a tall, thin woman with curly long brown hair, who's very assertive and ballsy, but also a good listener. She listens to everyone panicking, then tells them when she's heard enough, and issues the best available solution. Her forte is plot, particularly when it gets sticky. She's also got a great technique when I'm stuck: she keeps breaking the next step into smaller and smaller steps until I'm able to take at least one. There's always a way out of any plot jam with her. She tends to wear brown, russet and black, and all her clothes are very trim, but not overly fitted. Very practical, but with a lot of beautiful patterns and textures. She's not a traditional beauty, but she is beautiful.
