Mostly A’s: You were an avid reader of Tamora Pierce Novels
As a youth you found yourself deeply drawn to stories about tomboyish girls pretending to be boys so they could become sword-wielding knights; as an adult, you are practical, helpful, loyal, grounded and also gay. As you navigate through modern life, patiently leading your team meetings and being the only one of your siblings who responds to your parents in the family group chat, part of you will always be waiting for the opportunity to rescue the vulnerable in your life with a medieval weapon in hand.
Mostly B’s: You are the chaotic good foil to the heroine of a Tamora Pierce novel
Your methods may be suspect but the ends always justify the means; you have the morals of a pirate baron and a heart of gold. You’re set up to be an unlikely ally to our pure of heart but perhaps overly conventional heroine… or perhaps even more??? 👀
Mostly C’s: You are a sidekick to the heroine of a Tamora Pierce novel
You’re loyal, helpful, and brave — taking initiative may not be your strong point, but that’s fine, as there’s always an iconoclastic, headstrong yet grounded soft butch with some leather burnished armor ready to tell you what to do. Are we climbing a watch tower? Standing up to the ill-intentioned monied heir to a treacherous barony? The important thing is you will survive to the end of this series via your close association with the protagonist.
Mostly D’s: You are the heroine of a Tamora Pierce novel!
Your development as a person has been defined heavily by an intense loyalty to the feudal nation-state and/or horrific childhood trauma; regardless of the details, the only way forward for you is the path of the sword. Are you gay or do you just want very short hair for practical purposes and feel most comfortable interacting with men through hand to hand combat or intensely platonic comradeship scenarios? Who’s to say!
