1.) Thimble learned alchemy mostly from her mother, who was desperate to have one of her children take an interest in intellectual pursuits like she did. Thankfully, Thimble was fascinated by science since a young age and desired to see what exactly it was capable of. For her, alchemy is an important method of problem solving that not many other people can do. It gives her a way to survive on her own without relying on mundane jobs. Alchemy, like life itself, is unpredictable and that keeps things exciting.   2.) Thimble loves art, but she believes science holds more value in society because of its practical uses. Science has led to a better understanding of the natural world, it's created much-needed medicines, and shapes the world in tangible ways. Art can be influential, certainly, but science is useful.   3.) Thimble loves her creativity and her ability to apply it to most aspects of her life. Her alchemy is not just an outlet for her scientific endeavors, but her artistic ones as well. When she's not tinkering, she's tailoring or working on some kind of craft. She hates her inability to comprehend emotions. It's difficult to bond with others because they don't understand how her mind operates. It doesn't help that she doesn't know how to express herself appropriately, so people often think she's rude, blunt, or doesn't care about others.

1) Aeki would likely answer that her most important skill is survival- being able to be alone in the woods, to find direction, to last weeks on only what she needed. A skill taught and honed by her parents- but especially her father. To be comfortable in the wilderness, especially in a world like this, one must not just know how to survive but have the will to survive. To hunt creatures and monsters larger and stronger than yourself, to scare away and hold at bay not just the smaller beasts but to not tread on territory of worse- such as stumbling into an ancient battlefield haunted by ghosts of crusades passed, and deal with such circumstances when, not if, you make a mistake. The will of a hunter, and killer, is the will of a survivor. One able to stand tall, look prey in the face, and roar back.   2) Art. Thats not to say science is without merit, but art explores the onething science never could, the mind. All science would and will, given time, discover the secrets of the multiverse, master the arcane arts, and understand the laws of physics and the paranatural. But each art and all art holds secrets that if not made would have been lost to the flow of the cycle of life and death if the artist had not taken the time to leave their echo on the world.   3) Aeki hates how brash she is, not only does it tend to get her into trouble, but she acknowledges the weight she places on first impressions is often wrong. She does, however, love how trusting she is. It seldom lead to trouble in the same way her paranoia has and had allowed her to see the beauty of many in the world around her.

being a kenicist she knew she'd have power one day it was just a matter of what one as a child she began moving the wind around her and was sent to the air tribe to learn how to control and utilize it it wasn't a single person training her it was more the whole tribe as for why it's important to her it's a reminder of her people that she couldn't save   she values art more than science art is entertaining and evokes emotion and science while proving usefull is noisy chaotic and dangerous ( when used wrong of course ) plus what can be done with science can be done with magic in her mind so it feels like all that science is doing is skipping a step
