Nill: Is really only a hundred percent okay with physical contact from women. When it comes to men, she has to know him. Her fear of men has decreased dramatically since being in the City (thanks to Luke and Danny), but it's still there, lingering in the background. If a man she doesn't know goes to touch her, she's likely to cringe away, or freeze up. Pretty much any kind of physical advance from any unknown male over the age of like, eighteen, is sexual in her eyes, and she is having none of that. But she doesn't mind if little kids like, come up and hug her, that's totally okay!! She is one to hand out head-pats and hand-squeezes like nobody's business to people she knows. And all the hugs to her closest friends. Since she can't speak, body language is very important, and she likes using gestures to communicate. She uses physical contact to comfort, never to harm.
Scathach: If you can get close enough to touch her, she's definitely letting you. In casual situations, she doesn't mind; sometimes she's uncomfortable with things like hand-holding and hugs, but she'll never show it on the outside. In battle, evading the enemy's touch is kind of the point. Casually, she will pat backs and squeeze shoulders if necessary. Otherwise, it's all about trying to harm. And she likes sex.
Rikku: Loves being touched omg. She is such a people-person and probably hugs complete strangers now and then. She likes holding hands hugging, kissing, cuddling, etc. She is just touchy-feely all over, partly because it makes her feel good and partly because it makes other people feel good. She is all about sharing the love. Living in close-quarters with the rest of her race has kind of made her unable to respect personal bubbles unless explicitly told to do so. She also likes sex (but only with Santo).
Gemma Doyle: Also enjoys being touched, but for very different reasons than Rikku. For Gemma, being touched means being wanted. She has issues with not being wanted, thanks to her father, and physical contact helps alleviate that fear. She isn't usually one to initiate (because why would a lady ever), unless it's someone she's particularly close to and comfortable with. But if someone comes up and hugs her or holds her hand, she will be all over reciprocating that. So being touched is a selfish thing for her, for the most part. But if you get on her bad side, she will fight you, and not just with magic. Ask Thomas. She punched him out cold once. And sex is good, but not really a necessity (except that one time). The longer she's in the City, the less sex might mean to her--and by that I mean that she won't always associate it exclusively with marriage. She would prefer to just be with one person, but obviously that isn't something that happens often in this day and age, and she's becoming more and more aware of that as time goes on. So maybe in her twenties she'll be more out there, get a boyfriend or two, experiment, etc, but otherwise she's pretty good at just not thinking about sex. Except when she sleeps.
