Editing Dish (section)

==Personality==
She is prim and proper but unspeaking, much needs to be inferred by body language established decorum.<ref>Avery shuffled her weight nervously, then reached for her bag.  She dug inside, and grabbed the roll of paper towels she’d stuffed inside.  “May I?”<br><br>The spirit stared at her.<br><br>Avery approached the shrine itself, stared down by the blue eyes.<br><br>“I was a bit rushed the last time I stopped in, bit awkward,” Avery told the spirit, “or a lot awkward.  But I didn’t mean to be rude.  I guess with the fine china type stuff, you might put a lot of stock in being polite?”<br><br>Silence.<br>[...]<br>The spirit put a hand on the back of Avery’s head, then gently pushed down.  Avery felt like she could fight back or resist, but doing so might break this fine dishware spirit.<br><br>So she let her head be forced down toward the water.  She bent down, head low, face nearly touching water, and then kinda had to roll her shoulder to accommodate the movement the spirit wanted her to make with her hand.<br><br>The first movement was apparently a failure, because the spirit moved closer to her, hand sliding down from wrist to hand, to manipulate Avery’s fingers.<br><br>This time Avery got it.  She cupped her hand, and brought water to her mouth.<br>[...]<br>Dish was able to lift the candy, and tried to be overly decorous and subtle in how she put the candy in her mouth, as if even being seen with her mouth open would be ''gauche,'' but by trying so hard at that, she ended up being far more awkward and noticeable. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/08/21 Excerpt] from [[Summer Break 13.6]]</ref>

Her actions immediately after Edith's arrest are most likely due to the environment around her.<ref name=":0">Verona used water, blasting at a spirit with skin that looked like it was all cracked porcelain, with a very realistic, very clear eye peering through face cracks, that stood out in the gloom.  “Go away!  Not here!”<br><br>“They don’t really listen.”<br><br>“They’re supposed to.”<br><br>“It’s like they’re pushed by the ones behind them.”<br>[...]<br>The cracked porcelain spirit advanced, and as Verona moved to the side, he fixated on her, following, picking up speed.  Corners and points of the hard, cracked edges bristled, shivering with more intensity as he got closer.<br><br>“Nah, buddy,” Verona told him.  “We’ll both be happier if you don’t-”<br><br>He came at her, picking up speed, pulling on mist and things to puff himself up, individual pieces moving away from skin.  She took two quick steps to get onto a dirt path, then swiped out a pouring of salt, straight across ground.<br><br>He hit the line and shattered.<br><br>One shattered half of him flowed or spun off to the side, regrouped, and came at her, smaller, half of him turning into two-thirds of a person.<br><br>She met hard with hard, using the ‘quality of earth’ diamond shaped rune she’d put on her elbow as a quick emergency smackage tool.<br><br>He broke apart.  The rest of his subdivided self was reforming into a smaller figure, wandering off toward the side of the mountain, where it looked like he’d be diverted off toward the east again.  There wasn’t a good road to go up the mountain and west. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/05/15 Excerpt] from [[Dash to Pieces 11.5]]</ref>
