And that's how Esme does romance.

Lots of replies. Interesting answers. And now:
And here's the answer:
There is no key.
There is no easy way to her heart.
And should a Member be smart enough to figure it out and game the system, I'll use my executive powers as the Writer of Daella is veto it.
Of course, that doesn't mean romance is a complete non-option for Daella. This is how I handle it, and I'll explain what's been shown so far in role-plays:
Unless the character in question is a heretic. In which case, convert or burn!

- Daella isn't looking for love. Period. I think this is pretty obvious if one reads my posts.
- There is little discernible physical attraction. She's never expressed a fondness for someone's appearance or a desire for someone based on looks, nor does she return casual flirts.

Janus Rogo
Shoot everything.
Good way to handle it, @[member="Daella Apparine"].
I've played this character, Janus Rogo, for about eight or nine years now, starting him out in a Cyberpunk Mercenaries PnP RPG. I really enjoy playing him. The few times romance came up, it took a while of prodding at. The most notable one was a relationship with an alien bounty hunter, where they spent months as the most morally bankrupt members of a... Well. That's storytiming. Not the point of this, huh?
Short version of it? I take a calm, easy route with Janus. Anyone that wants to initiate a romance with him will have to work at it, interacting regularly with him. If he reciprocates, he cozies up nicely and can be fairly affectionate. Tends to push for improvements.

Wicked Witch of Schwartzweld
Murder and singing. In no particular order.
Ashin Varanin
Professional Enabler
Part-time slave girls, assorted wenches, and profligate or promiscuous others.
I draw the line at plants.

Hutts don't have lines.

@[member="Rasho the Hutt"] Seems legit.
As for Tamara...she doesn't. Unlike certain others of my characters which like...romance...or who are just deluding themselves that they're not interested, Tamara just isn't concerned with it. If she found the right person, maybe, but that's a big maybe.

Well rounded characters with their own agendas are a must.
Don't get me started on the crap where characters fall in love in the space of one thread. I can understand a love at first sight scenario in real life, but it is a damn boring story to write and read.
Good romance in literature requires characters that should not be together, either because of their families, circumstances, attitudes, etc etc etc...without going into the melodrama. Realistic people and responses.
I am one of those people that turns TV off after the two leads have finally 'done it' because the fun part is all the flirtation and the build up. The will they won't they. Every character that I have had find someone they loved has died soon afterwards...true love is like a curse to drama because people are so damn forgiving in a decent relationship!

@[member="Count Aretine"] jealous?
Alexia Preston
Character
Not very well.
But then again with Lexi, she doesn't like to be romanced. It makes her uncomfortable to be close to people as a general rule.

@[member="Count Aretine"]. Maybe
@[member="Ruusan"] I think there's a lovely lady somewhere underneath all that armor and hostility. We just need to coax it out.
Well it would be without some difficulty as given his aversion to getting close too close anyone. But not impossible...having rp him for quite sometime now. There been couple so near miss and one exeption that i am current work on.......
But for what its worth.....Ronin doen't do romance all too easily because i rather have it done. With bit of lengthy history rp and not just a one time deal....
