another random meme
1. How do they feel about people taller or shorter than them?
He doesn't have feelings about that. One Piece world has so many random people who are 7-9ft tall naturally without being giants, he's used to it. He might tease a friend who turned out shorter than him, or mess with Sanji by making emphasis of the 1cm difference in their heights (like it means anything) but in all sincerity he probably doesn't even think about such a thing on a daily basis.
2. How do they feel about murder?
Out and out killing someone in cold blood without getting into a legit fight first? Probably not a fan. Zoro prefers a fair fight, and he fights for reasons, so he's not really down with assassination. At least, it's nothing he'd do himself, and he'd side-eye anyone who did it without a clear and valid purpose. Example, if someone successfully snuck into Doflamingo's bedroom at night and killed him, he probably wouldn't have much of a problem with it. But Zoro prefers allowing someone the chance to at least try to fight back before they die.
3. How do they appear online? What’s their personality? Their handle? What sites do they spend their time on?
N/A
4. How do they manage and spend their money?
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Zoro is not allowed to manage his money. Nami gives him an allowance when they land, mainly for booze, but if he wants real money he has to either find it himself and hoard it (which never happens) or beg from her and get reminded about interest charges. But then, he doesn't really need to spend money himself - the cook takes care of food and supplies and Nami does the rest, so Zoro himself wants for nothing. And isn't above the occasional eat-and-run to steal a meal or a drink.
Of course, if he has any, he really wouldn't spend it aside from getting drinks if they landed on an island with good bars. He doesn't have a great quantity of possessions and desires for none.
5. What languages do they know? What do they want to learn?
Just his own, whatever it is. Dun care about no others.
6. Their preference for relationships (sexuality, type of person, etc.)?
He doesn't really have a sexual preference, if only because Zoro is generally disinterested in sexual relationships and will take an offer of convenience from anyone he can stand, male or female. He's open-minded but primarily not interested. However, if someone were to approach him with an offer, he has a very narrow definition of what type of person he'd say yes to. It has to be someone he respects, and someone he feels like he's on equal footing with strength-wise as well as ambition-wise. He wouldn't go with someone he feels superior to, because he's not interested in power plays - he wants equality in his relationships, a true give-and-take. He needs someone who understands him and his very particular desires and dreams, someone who won't get in the way of his ambitions, and who will support him.
Zoro's kind of funny in that he lives by extremes. He either wants solely a strict sexual encounter with no strings attached and no feelings, or he wants to devote himself entirely to a single person. There's no middle ground for him. He's also not good with feelings, and doesn't know how to express them aside from that silent, determined devotion. He would never put a lover above anyone else in the crew, and likely wouldn't sow his wild oats outside the crew because they're the people he mainly trusts and cares for.
7. What time do they enjoy sleeping?
Anytime! His primary time to sleep in his actual hammock is the very wee hours/pre-dawn (4-7 am) but he enjoys sleeping whenever he sleeps. Wherever he sleeps.
8. What weather do they enjoy?
His favorite according to Oda is "autumn on an autumn island." He likes it cool but not cold, and probably sunny - autumn on an autumn island would not be the coldest/most autumn-like period, but rather temperate. He's also not opposed to a good warm early-summer day, and doesn't care about rainy days as long as he's indoors. He only really hates extreme cold/snow and stupidly humid, hot weather with no wind.
9. What music do they like?
He's not partial. I'm sure if he heard anything modern like super-fast techno he wouldn't be a fan, might gravitate more toward rock. Roots, metal, anything like that.
10. What animals do they like? What types of pets do/would they have?
Tigers. Sharks, dragons, bears. He's not into pets though.
11. What is their emotional state most of the time?
Calm. He's very even-tempered and level-headed on an average day, with short bursts of irritation around Luffy and Sanji.
12. How do they greet people?
Often, a manly nod and nothing more. Maybe a "yo." It depends on his familiarity with the person, but even the nod and the yo are for people he's close to as much as strangers he's just been introduced to. Very few people get a flippant remark or a tease, and almost no one gets a smile.
13. What flusters them? What makes them uncomfortable?
Women flirting. Women crying around him. Embarrassment. He doesn't get embarrassed by the same things other people do - mostly personal humiliation, but not, say, public nudity.
14. What makes them happy? What makes them laugh?
Parties, Luffy's antics. His crewmates laughing and being happy.
15. What scares them? What makes them cry?
Zoro doesn't get scared. He's no longer afraid of being too weak to protect the crew, and while he may be alarmed if there's a threat to the crew or the ship that he can't immediately respond to, he doesn't feel fear. Worry isn't always fear. In fact, most of what he used to fear has now been reduced to a state of mere worry at worst. He's not even afraid of death. Or spiders. Or ghosts. He doesn't fear Marine Admirals. And he doesn't cry. Zoro's moments of tears are so seldom that it has to be due to a truly moving, visceral moment - he's only ever wept for Kuina when he was a child, and in desperation when he made his promise to Luffy after his defeat at Mihawk's hands. He didn't even cry for Merry. If he were to cry again, it would have to be an unexpected moment of being moved much the way Luffy and his promise moved him.
16. What worries them?
Not being present to protect the crew or the ship when they really need him, the weaker members getting in over their heads, Luffy getting in over his head (which really takes a lot but it's not impossible).
17. Any guilty pleasures?
Not really. What things he takes pleasure in, he does so openly. He doesn't sneak around behind anyone's back to enjoy a thing in secret.
18. What do they like to eat and drink?
Ale, sake, rum, whiskey. Sometimes coffee. His favorite food is rice, meat, and good hearty dishes, though he will eat pretty much anything Sanji puts in front of him.
19. What do they daydream or think about?
His training regimen and getting stronger. What might be ahead of them in the New World. What else he might discover and have to fight against. Sometimes he reminisces about past adventures but rarely thinks back to before he met Luffy.
20. Who are their friends? Who would they like to befriend?
The crew, and a handful of others. He's friends with anyone Luffy befriends. But he's not picky and doesn't really look for new friends, they just happen. He's not eager to get to know anyone in particular.
