NO I LIED I JUST THOUGHT I HAD ignore me I never know what I'm talking about
I will assume you mean Sapphire Apple since she actually has varying reactions and approaches to it between games :|a Despite Sapphire's runs into traffic tendencies I don't think we've HAD a lot of games that involve self-sacrifice, or give the option of it, so whatever I say might like SUDDENLY CHANGE depending on the game situation. But with trauma games...mm, it depends on the trauma? And it depends on the self-sacrifice! Like with Mira's game there was a Martyr option which was basically needless self-sacrifice, but she and Nessa picked Adviser. ...Notably Apple was about two seconds away from getting her heart cut out from stubborn refusal to pick ANY option but yes :')b She has kind of learned that "if you want to quit games you can quit games" and "if you want to find a way around a bad option you just have to think of it!" The recent slew of games have not necessarily lived up to this, but that just increases her frustration in herself because she didn't try hard enough to find a way around it!! The helpessness and lack of agency in trauma games is what gets to her most, so she will attempt to do SOMETHING even if it's dumb and everyone's like no Apple stop don't do that. In a group setting with other Sapphires present she prefers to listen to their ideas/options before speaking because it gives her a kind of foundation for her train of thought and what the others want to do; she wants to respect their opinions, especially in tough situations. When they make a decision it's usually only because they've all come to a consensus.
She is currently more willing to take on the injury than she is to let any other team take it, if such a game were to come up! To that extent she would self-sacrifice. But she won't blindly choose that option if there is a way for no one at all to get hurt! And because Aather has a good support system of healers and people willing to care and help each other get through trauma games, she is more willing to compromise with Sapphire if they were to suggest a middle ground. Uhm, but it really does depend, because certain things make her stubbornly reject them. She tries to hold back and compromise with the others but then it all builds up and she will impulsively burst with whatever decision she's come to and no one can change her mind!! Which ties into her need to do something when there's an extreme lack of agency. Mau is very good at talking her down from that but he is Legacy now so. oops.
In the end I don't know if she has an "approach" to them because they're all so different and what she reacts strongly to depends on the situation.
Today's game was Berry's first game back with Sapphire, right? How does she...hmm I don't know the right word, deal with a team setting? How do you anticipate her dealing with team games in the future?
