Band shirts are very important for them!
Backstory
Stumbling into Gensokyo from the human world, Trivia
spent several days wandering around, eventually running
into the Human Village. Once people noticed their odd
looks, they started mistakently associating them with
the Hell Goddess, Hecatia Lapislazuli. Despite denying
that, and not even knowing who Hecatia is, they got
curious and decided that the best course of action
would be to ask the local fairies and youkai about her.
After some time of searching for someone who could give
them more information about this elusive Goddess they
have been looking for, some information finally turned
up - from a fairy that came from Hell, Clownpiece. She
took them to her guardians, Hecatia and Junko, residing
in Gensokyo at the time.
Seeing Hecatia have a similar style to them, including
a t-shirt which looks like something they would wear at
home and an abundance of chains and accessories, they
started warming up to her slowly. Since they started to
integrate into their new home in Gensokyo alongside the
trio, they also started to pick up distaste towards
Lunarians. Additionally over time, they started to
realize that their personality matches with Hecatia's
really well, even discovering their similar taste in
outside world music, mostly through records Yukari's
been smuggling for Hecatia from the outside world.
Over time, as their bond deepened, the two developed
feelings for each other, culminating in them dyeing
parts of their hair into Hecatia's three main colors -
red, blue and yellow. They would also keep their style
of outfits, no matter how outlandish to Gensokyo
residents it may seem, just to match with their lover.
Other than spending time with Hecatia and the rest of
their cohabitants, Trivia also likes to engage in talks
about politics and spirituality with many of Gensokyo's
authorities on the topics, such as Hijiri Byakuren and
Kochiya Sanae, quenching their thirst for more and more
knowledge of the world they've been thrown in.
Abilities
Not too long after showing up in Gensokyo and seeing
many different forms of magic and special abilities
youkai and some humans wielded, Trivia felt like they
may be able to learn one of their own. Thus, with a
lot of perseverance and a little help from Hecatia
herself, they acquired the skill to alter their own
appearance, though not too drastically and for a very
limited time only. For that reason, the only way they
would be able to get anything out of it is if they
shift their shape into a more feminine looking version
of themselves. That way, the difference in looks is
minimal, so they can maintain that form for a decently
long period of time, much to the enjoyment of Hecatia -
her own possession of multiple forms makes her really
proud her partner can do something in the same vein as
her trademark ability, the only difference being that
they can't have both of them out at the same time,
unlike Hecatia, who can have all three of hers.
Maybe she even tampered with
their powers so they would develop the ability they
did? Nah, she would never do that... unless...
Whatever the case may be, since they can now change
their appearance between two genders at will (as long
as they have enough power left in them), they chose to
use they/them pronouns while referring to them in
general, while sticking to he/him or she/her to refer
to a specific form of theirs. Oh, and since they
already have a feminine looking shape they can take,
they really want to try on some of the really nice
and elaborate dresses they've seen around Gensokyo!
Likes and dislikes
Trivia is particularly fond of music, the heavier, the
better. They are a big fan of metal in general, having
a lot of favorite artists. They also like to play a lot
of video games in their off time, preferring really old
games, mostly trying to find enjoyment in those that
would be considered bad or lackluster, even by old
standards.
They are also a very picky eater, mostly enjoying food
they make for themselves. Spices are a must in most
things they eat, as are hot sauces and hot side
ingredients. Being a competent cook, they are often
tasked with cooking duties in their new home, with
Clownpiece especially liking their meals.
Amongst the few things Trivia can't stand are snow and
big bodies of water. The former because of them always
getting a cold as a child whenever they played outside
on winter days, and the latter for the simple reason of
them being unable to swim, something that they are
really self-conscious about and try to keep a secret
from everyone.
Relationships
Hecatia Lapislazuli
While at first they've wondered who this Goddess people of Gensokyo called "outlandish" and "weird", the two immediately clicked and started to warm up to each other. They share the same thoughts on a lot of topics ranging from simple things like style, to more complex ones like politics and personal freedom. The only thing that they disagree on is the general treatment of the Lunarians - while Trivia does not like the way they rule and govern the moon, they still want to see for themselves whether or not Hecatia and Junko were honest with their stories of the Moon folk or if they were exaggerating them due to personal issues. Music tastes too, while Hecatia is more into death and thrash metal, Trivia vastly prefers black and speed variants of the same genre, leading to some really pointless and heated arguments between the two on the topic.
Junko and Clownpiece
As they helped them find a place to live, Trivia has a lot of appreciation and respect for the two. They like hearing Junko tell stories from Gensokyo they've never come in contact with in the outside world, and playing and looking after the mischiveous Hell fairy can be a lot of fun... in most cases, that is. Overall, the relationship between them can be described as positive, relying on each other for running errands and needing a person to confide in.
Hijiri Byakuren and Kochiya Sanae
Trivia has always preferred to call themselves an
agnostic, believing it's a bit arrogant to claim no
such thing as divinity exists as an atheist, and that
it's also a little backwards to cement your faith into
a being or beings that may not exist at all in the end
as a believer. Thus, talking about spirituality and
religion with a Buddhist monk (and the fact that they
have been thrown into the world where magic and deities
are commonplace) has really opened their mind to a lot
of new things.
The same thing can apply to Sanae, being a shrine
maiden with the ability to perform miracles and stay in
contact with the Moriya Shrine Goddesses. Additionally,
since Sanae is another person who made her way into
Gensokyo from the outside world, Trivia found a close
friend in her during their first days in that new land,
being able to talk about their predicaments and discuss
some things that other people around them would not
understand, such as technology and other entertainment
media found beyond the border.
