"Blood Libido" refers to a certain personality quirk in those who possess Blood powers. Commonly a fixation on a certain object or concept.

Affected Characters[]

  • Jack: Has an urge to climb a tall tower all the way to the top (generally the Jail, but there was one time when it triggered on a temple in the Liberated District)
  • Alice: Interested in tea sets, holds tea parties, and seeks meaning in dreams. Lacks tolerance for illogical actions and "nonsensical" conversations and developments.
  • Red Riding Hood: Attached to the hoodie she wears and headwear in general. Any rips and damage to the hoodie can compromise her regular mask of confidence, and not having ANYTHING over her head leaves her a mess of anxiety
  • Snow White: Becomes uneasy whenever she looks in a mirror. Negative outlook regarding her appearance
  • Sleeping Beauty: Sleeps a lot, even in the most improbable places. Desires to find her "prince".
  • Thumbelina: Hides in tiny cramped spaces as a way to relax or to mope.
  • Kaguya: Immensely lazy and insists that people give "treasures" before she does anything.
  • Cinderella: Possibly obsessive-compulsive about cleanliness. Fixated on jewelry and accessories. Her sense of self-worth can plummet simply from losing an earring.
  • Rapunzel: Fixated on her hair, the perceived threat of her hair being cut can send her into tearful blubbering. Also obsessed with making babies
  • Gretel: Infatuated with sweets. The sight of one causes a desire to bubble up within her, devouring one causes moderate euphoria, and she will threaten violence if she thinks someone is attempting to take them from her.
  • Hameln: Mildly obsessive-compulsive in relation to marching and orderliness. Seeing the party in a formation other than a straight orderly line unnerves her.
  • Otsuu: Has a complex regarding owing people and repaying debts
  • Little Mermaid: Loves singing. So much so that if she can't sing, such as from her precious microphone breaking, she goes into a panic.
  • Mary: Has a tendency to burn her matches while daydreaming, even knowing her matches have other utilities

Trivia[]

  • All Blood Libidos are in some way related to each character's namesake fairytale
    • Jack and the Beanstalk prominently features an eponymous beanstalk, which Jack climbs to find peril and fortune alike.
    • Alice in Wonderland's highlights include a tea party held by the Mad Hatter. The story itself is also possibly the nonsensical dreams of a sleeping Alice.
    • Red Riding Hood is named after the eponymous red cloak the heroine wears. Some interpretations state the cloak has magical powers.
    • Snow White features a magical mirror by which the Queen (who may be Snow White's real mother depending on the version) learns Snow White is fairer than her and plots her demise. Depending on the version, the Queen may launch multiple plots, each failing when the mirror tells her of Snow White's survival.
    • Sleeping Beauty is cursed by a witch to die, but is instead put into a deep sleep that may only be broken by true love's kiss.
    • Thumbelina is the story of the eponymous character running and hiding from a series of creatures concerned with marriage or appearances.

When the witch trapping her there discovers she has been consorting with a prince, she furiously severs Rapunzel's hair and casts her into the wilds. The baby-making fixation could be inspired by both the tale beginning with Rapunzel as a baby, and Rapunzel giving birth to twins after the witch casts her out.
