[Regina Mills]

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Regina has this confident, intimidating presence that makes her seem...well, a lot taller and more imposing than she actually is. Also, the heels probably help. She's actually only 5'4, though, so she's not on the taller side of things - and she's also pretty tiny at the waist, but...y'know. Curvaceous ;]

2. How old is she?
Actually, this is a good opportunity to clarify her timeline: She was eighteen when Daniel died - that would make Snow twelve; since there's stated to be about six years between them. She spent about a decade married to Leopold, making her twenty-eight when she killed him. She was the 'Evil Queen' for about six years after that, and was thirty-four when she cast the curse. The curse lasted for twenty-eight years, but time was frozen for the duration of it. It's been about a year since it has broken. Thus, physically she is thirty-five! Or almost thirty-five. Somewhere around there.

3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch?
Regina has excellent posture - it's positively regal, the way she carries myself. But, y'know...that's what years of being queen (and, oh god, corset-wearing) will do to you.

4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Regina's a bit of a health nut, actually, so she takes care of herself. She doesn't actively work out - but she is an accomplished equestrian, and she's got the toned legs to prove it.

5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Regina has a sort of practiced grace to her movements - again, it's a given, with her previous lifestyle. She usually has a noticeable tenseness about her, however.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror?
sHE'S THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL OMG SHUT UP SNOW DDDD<. no. actually, that all depends on individual perception, doesn't it? By most people's standards she is pretty sexeh, though. She used to have a sort of girlish prettiness to her, but now it's a lot...darker and more seductive. It's a much...different sort of beauty than Snow's, I think? A little more exotic, a little less pure. As far as how she perceives herself, she tends to zero in on her flaws - which I think is an excellent contrast to the typical, vain, self-centered portrayal of Snow White's wicked stepmother.

7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Lana's complexion confuses me omfg. She seems to be able to get pretty tan, but they generally make Regina up to look more fair-skinned - Snow parallels?

8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style.
Regina's hair defies all logic. In fact, half the time it defies gravity. When it was longer, there legitimately seemed to be no way she couldn't style it - now it's shorter, though she's been letting it grow out a bit recently (well, less letting it than having absolutely no time to stop by the hairdresser's - Lana's actually said that growing her hair out this season has been an intentional character decision, weee). Anywho. Her hair's dark brown in color. When she was younger, it used to be a bit lighter - kind of closer to Cora's color, but it's darkened as she's gotten older. Naturally her hair is slightly wavy, though she doesn't often go without styling it. In texture, it's soft - deceptively soft. But you're not allowed to know that; the evil queen does not have soft, fluffy hair.


9. What color are her eyes?
Brown! The shade tends to vary depending on the lighting.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
The scar right above her lip is tiny, but quite distinctive. It's doubtful that this is something that's ever going to be explained on the show, so I've headcanoned away on it. STORYTIME: Regina got the scar when she was younger and still learning how to ride a horse without a saddle (no this isn't a joke, it has a point i swear). The horse spooked and reared, and she fell off and split her lip open rather badly on a rock. Cora, who had told Regina multiple times that she was forbidden to ride bareback, was furious. As punishment, she refused to heal the wound with magic or seek treatment with a doctor. The cut was left to heal on its own, which resulted in a scar forming - something Cora always complained would 'decrease Regina's value' to any potential future husbands.

11. What are her chief tension centers?
Her shoulders and neck.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit?
JFC, Regina's wardrobe. This isn't going to be headcanon, at all, because I really, really like the intentional attention the show's costume designers have paid to it. bby!Regina preferred very casual, almost tomboyish clothing - in fact, she was often in her riding outfit. However, her mother would almost constantly force her into much more formal, Disney Princess-y dresses such as this one. It also consisted of lighter, more pure and innocent colors - light blues and whites and pale greens, for instance. When she became queen, her wardrobe became much more elaborate - but not yet as elaborate as it would be once she'd become the Evil Queen. Though her gowns were still very show-y, they weren't as revealing; more proper and constricting and repressive - which was quite appropriate, considering what her life was like at the time and who she was married to. The colors she were were still on the lighter to more neutral side of things, though more dull than they were in her youth. They gave her a sort of 'living doll' quality
Here is an example of one of those.

As for her Evil Queen wardrobe - oh my god, the costume department just went all out. She really does get the best costumes on the show. They're wildly elaborate and sometimes just completely over the top - but they're also very expressive, and I think that's the point. As the Evil Queen, Regina just becomes this vivacious and over-the-top person because she's been repressed for so long. Here you can see some of that craziness.

And finally, Storybrooke!Regina. Well obviously, she's no longer going to go parading around in some elaborate gown (I mean, unless she really feels like it) but her tastes in this world are about just as expensive. She's all about designer clothing. Pencil skirts, blouses, blazers, little black dresses, power suits, heels, stockings, apple-red-as-blood lipstick. You get the idea. Man, it's find to hard gifsets of this but - here.

13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them?
Everything about Regina's appearance is composed, meticulous, and deliberate. So yes, her clothes are always specifically chosen and well-fitted, and she's both confident and comfortable in them even where most women wouldn't be evil queen outfits pls.

14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences?
It doesn't really seem to matter what the occasion is - she's nearly always flawlessly, formally dressed. The exceptions would be whenever she's horseback riding - in which case she'll dress much more practically (THE ONLY TIME YOU'LL EVER CATCH HER IN JEANS) - and when the occasion is extremely special - in which case she'll decide to show off and go all-out.


15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
victoria's secret all the way ;]



Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
It depends. Regina seems to actually consciously control her voice. When she was younger, her voice was a lot lighter, with a sort of breathy quality to it. Now, it's generally deeper and more brisk - with a very noticeable difference between evil queen!Regina and Storybrooke!Regina. Storybrooke!Regina speaks in a softened, composed, and generally very somber, professional manner. Whenever she loses her temper, or intentionally slips back into evil queen!Regina, her words gain a much sharper, more enunciated, attention-commanding quality.

this is getting rambly and I'm sorry, but Lana's voice-acting is one of my FAVORITE things she brings to the character so I'll just demonstrate through clips:
bby!Regina - "True love is magic."
The Evil Queen - "Running from me is foolish~"
Storybrooke!Regina - "I want to redeem myself."

2. How does she normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does she talk easily, or does she hesitate?
See above!

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
Mm, not really. Lana Parrilla's from Brooklyn though. So there's this hilarious headcanon of Regina slipping into a Brooklyn accent when she gets pissed.

4. What language/s does she speak, and with how much fluency?
I'm not sure she speaks any other languages - dunno when she'd have the opportunity to learn. Unless being a horse-whisperer counts.

5. Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Again, when she's especially angry or trying to intimidate someone, a bit of her evil queen voice slips through. Alternatively, when you've managed to get her to really soften up, you can still here a bit of bby!Regina here and there.

6. Is she a good impromptu speaker, or does she have to think about her words?
She generally thinks through what she says pretty carefully.

7. Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Quite eloquent, usually. She's become a good public speaker, as well. The only circumstances that typically manage to change this are extremely emotional ones - she's not too good at handling her own emotional vulnerability when it shows up, so that usually manages to make her stumble.



Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is she book-smart or street-smart?
Regina's more cunning than anything else - but she's also quite clever. 'People-smart' is the best way to describe her intelligence, I think. She's very good at reading and manipulating people. However, this can also be used for more benign purposes - she typically can manage to find just what to say to put a person in a better mood. She also learns far more from her experiences than she does from any books, conventional information sources, or formal education, so.

2. Does she think on her feet, or does she need time to deliberate?
She prefers to have a plan for everything. She's a strategic person, who doesn't do nearly as well when she has to think on her feet. She gets too impulsive, especially if you manage to make her emotional.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is she more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
She used to be extremely idealistic, seeing good in everyone from the stepdaughter who betrayed her to the mother who abused her all her life, and maintaining the idea that as long as two people loved each other, nothing could really tear them apart. ...I don't think I need to say why this changed, but yeah. These days, she's far more practical and logical.

4. What kind of education has the character had?
Growing up in the wealthy, high-society family that she did, she received her education from the private tutors her parents hired. It should be noted that teachers of any sort have often ended up being the most important people in Regina's life. Daniel taught her how to ride a horse, and she fell in love with him. Rumpelstiltskin taught her magic, and despite how much she's grown to hate him, she's never quite been able to disentangle their lives. Cora taught her to close herself from people, and that's both defined their relationship and who Regina is as a person.

5. What are her areas of expertise? What, if anything, is she interested in learning more about?
Her areas of expertise. Let's see. There's magic, obviously. And anything to do with magic - magical creatures, the effects of spells and curses, and so own. Then there's high-society etiquette, of course, and horseback riding (horses in general, really), cooking, and - as she's most infamous for here on AM - being a Mom. She's technically raised two kids, you know. She knows what she's doing. Ironically, raising Henry and Snow have taught her about the two halves of parenting: she raised Henry from the time he was an infant, up until now (he's almost eleven). She raised Snow from the time she was around twelve, to adulthood. So yeah, babies, children, teenagers - she has her bases covered.

As for what she'd like to learn more about? Magic from other worlds fascinates her - so she's always up for questioning any characters from other fandoms who possess magical abilities.

6. Is she an introvert or an extrovert?
Introvert. By choice, more or less. She really, really doesn't like...people? Save for a select few.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is she even-tempered or does she have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
Her temper is something that's definitely become...quite infamous, where she's from. But once she enacted the curse and lost her magic, she had to endure twenty-eight years without being able to just toss someone around like a ragdoll every time they displeased her. And I think that's...definitely mellowed her out a bit, in a funny way. She's much less immediately inclined to be aggressive whenever she's angry these days - though she might try to do as much damage with her words as she's capable of doing with her magic. She's very easily angered, though it's difficult to provoke her to the point where she just completely loses her composure. She's a very...intense sort of person; there's nothing laid back about her. Practiced as she is at keeping calm, cool, and composed in most situations, it can be difficult not to notice the way her eyes practically spark with whatever tension she's feeling.

She's far from a friendly, engaging person - though she can pretend to be when she wants to. She has a very aloof temperament for the most part, though, not typically taking much interest in people unless they give her good reason to.


8. How does she respond to new people or situations? Is she suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
Regina is really prickly around new people. Like, it's really a wonder she manages to make friends at all, with how long it takes her to warm up to someone. She has major trust issues, and her first instinct is to just distrust and automatically expect the worst of people she doesn't know. She is a very, very suspicious person, sometimes to the point of even being a bit paranoid. Her demeanor around people she doesn't know too well ranges anywhere from politely detached and disinterested to sharp and biting and accusatory. The fact is, she's just a little too judgmental, and bases a lot more than she should on first impressions. It takes...quite awhile to get through to her, most of the time, but once you've earned her trust she is a surprisingly loyal person. If you betray her trust afterwards, however, it can be extremely difficult to earn it back.

9. Is she more likely to act, or to react?
Act, I think. She's impulsive. And she likes to be in control.

10. Which is her default: fight or flight?
Fight. All the way. The only time you'll catch Regina running away is like, if she has to do it to keep someone she cares about safe.

11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does she appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
Her sense of humor is very dry. As the Evil Queen she was actually much more inclined to be...funny? Weirdly enough. Now, though, everything is SRS BSNS and the jokes she does make are all tinged with sarcasm or just completely deadpan.

12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does she deal with them?
Oh man. How do you even mentally evaluate Regina? She's actually been accused of being a sociopath, but that's clearly not the case - more or less every horrible thing she's ever done has been prompted by the intensity of her own emotions, so. She's definitely...not what you would call stable, though. I'm not sure you could classify her symptoms as any single mental disorder, though...after Daniel died and she realized Snow had betrayed her, she most definitely had a psychotic break. She just snapped, slipping into extreme depression and becoming more and more prone to violent tendencies and outbursts - ultimately leading to her becoming 'evil'. She also has this tendency to dissociate when she feels threatened, I've noticed - she almost treats the Evil Queen as a different person entirely. This tendency is something that might have developed from the abuse she suffered as a child, since child abuse and trauma experienced at a very young age is a major cause of Dissociative Identity Disorder - however, I certainly wouldn't go so far as to suggest she has DID. She's clearly well-aware of who she is - she just has dissociative tendencies.

13. What moments in this character's life have defined her as a person?
Daniel's death. The moment in which she lost everything. The only person who showed her genuine, healthy affection, and the only chance for happiness she had. The moment she realized that a happy ending didn't exist for her.

Finding out Snow betrayed her. That was the moment her grief and shock began to turn to rage and hatred, which...yeah, was more or less the beginning of the Evil Queen. She couldn't take her anger out on Cora - she was psychologically and physically incapable of it - and that moment gave someone to target. Someone she could blame and hate. And these things poisoned her.

Killing Leopold. This itself was her first act of revenge - the act that solidified the path she'd chosen. There was no going back after that.

Killing her father to enact the curse. The Dark Curse requires a horrible act in order to be cast: for the caster to kill the thing they love most. And Regina's father was more or less the only loved one she had left at the time. Her father offered her a way out, pleaded with her to try to allow herself to heal, to let her hatred go, and to start a new life. But at that point in her life, Regina was way, way too far gone. She ended up ripping his heart out - and in that act, choosing hate and vengeance over love and healing. It sort of ripped a void in her heart that didn't really heal until she adopted her son years later.

Letting the curse be broken for Henry's sake. When she chose Henry over the curse she'd sacrificed everything for, the curse she'd spent twenty-eight years preserving, that was her first step towards her own redemption. As mentioned previously, the Dark Curse rips a void in the heart of the caster - but she filled that through her love for Henry. And this was the moment when she realized that.

14. What does she fear?
Her most obvious fear would be her mother. And yeah, Regina's faced people who are just as threatening on this site. But "WHOA CORA'S SO POWERFUL" really isn't the reason Regina's so terrified of her. It's the years and years of abuse she suffered at Cora's hands. It's that Cora took away the person she loved most. It's that Cora, from the time Regina was very, very young, is someone who Regina has psychologically associated with pain of various sorts. It's a deeply ingrained fear that's going to be very difficult to shake - but if Cora wasn't her mother, if Cora just some random absurdly powerful sorceress who Regina was meeting for the first time today, she'd hardly even flinch.

Becoming Cora is something she fears almost equally - she's actually terrified that she might hurt Henry somehow. Abuse tends to cycle, after all, and though the thought of laying a hand on him is actually unbearable, she's terrified that the thought that she might have enough of Cora in her to do so. ..Actually, hurting the people she cares about, in general, is a very big fear of hers. She's not fully sold on the whole 'i don't have to be evil' thing, and for a long time all she did was hurt people. And now, she actually cares about enough people in her life that she really, really dreads that happening. Especially when the evidence that she's capable of it is right in front of her face - like, when the Evil Queen hurt Oswin in the ICC one time, that was a nasty reminder for her.

But losing someone she loves - regardless of whether it was at her own hands or not - is probably the thing that terrifies her the most. She's not sure she could survive it twice.

15. What are her hopes or aspirations?
The only thing she really wants, right now, is to be a good mother to Henry - to keep him safe, to keep him happy, and to find happiness through that. And goddamn it, she still wants her happy ending.

16. What is something she doesn't want anyone to find out about her?
Her being raped probably ranks up there. As irrational as it is, she's ashamed of it, because it's a point in her life when she was completely powerless. So yeah. That's something she's never told anyone, and likely never will. Of course, some people have to go and find out anyways FAK U PITCH.



Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with her parents.
hahahahahaHAHAHAHA can I just write an essay?

Let's start with her mother. This relationship can be described in two words: CORA PLS. Seriously though, this is possibly one of the most fucked up mother/daughter relationships ever. Cora has, presumably for Regina's entire life, abused her physically, verbally, and emotionally. She punished her disobedience by inflicting physical harm, repeatedly criticized her and told her how worthless and disappointing she was, and emotionally neglected her (oh yeah, not to mention murdered her boyfriend right in front of her). There's a scene where Regina asks "Why can't I just be myself?" and Cora replies with "Because you can be so much more." Do you have any idea how much that must hurt? To hear, from your own mother's mouth, that who you are is not good enough? Holy shit. And yet, Regina still strives for Cora's affection and approval, because - and this has been proven more than once - she still loves her mother. And she's very confused about why that isn't enough - she doesn't know that Cora's heart has been ripped out, after all, so her mother not loving her the way she should must have very much felt like Regina's own fault for some time. Also, I'd just like to include this quote from the writers:

"When [Regina] said [Cora’s] grip on her heart was too strong, that’s when she realized “I need to let her enact this curse, because I know it will be broken and I know my daughter will be broken and then she’ll need her mommy”."

I mean, Cora pls. You knew Regina was going to cast that curse, you knew it was going to end horribly for her, and instead of trying to talk her out of it, you let her do it anyway - so that she would be broken, and she'd need you again.

In closing - this relationship is fucked up, that is all.

I have significantly less to say on Regina's father - who Henry was named after. Henry Sr. was not abusive - his relationship with Regina was significantly more loving and affectionate than Cora's was. However, he was almost just as bad a parent for the completely opposite reason. Instead of doing too much, he did too little. He simply stood by in silence, probably out of fear, as his wife abused their daughter. There's a line in one of the earlier episodes where Henry is trying to convince evil queen!Regina not to cast the curse, and Regina spitefully responds "Now you're trying to protect me?" It's just...ow. Yeah. Regina had no one growing up. No 'safe zone'.



2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
No siblings.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom she is close? Are there ones she can't stand?
Look, we don't know anything about her blood relatives beyond her parents, so just SHUT UP.

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom she considers part of her family? What are her relationships with them?
Henry is not, technically, related to her, but he is absolutely, unquestionably still her son. There is no difference between the way she loves him and the way a mother would love her biological child. In fact, Regina and Henry's relationship is considerably healthier than Regina's relationship with her own biological mother, so...

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
OSWIN FREAKIN' OSWALD. oops i mean carla oswan lol :]. Actually the best bromance. Seriously. So many feels. Regina really, really doesn't know how to do the whole 'friendship' thing, but she's kind of...slowly learning through this relationship? And Oswin is one of the very, very few people she trusts without question. And if it seems like I'm avoiding the 'how did they meet' part it's because I am, because WE DON'T REMEMBER HOW THEY BECAME FRIENDS HOW DID THIS EVEN HAPPEN OMFG.

6. Does she have other close friends?
Well see, the thing with Regina is that even with her friends, she really just holds them at arm's length. Because, y'know, love is weakness. And she has difficulty trusting even the people that she gets along with. Apart from Oswin, the person she's probably closest to is...Mithos, I think? They have a pretty strong emotional connection, and have actually established a decent amount of trust between them - as Storm pointed out once, they know each other's weaknesses really well, which would be kind of scary if they were still enemies.

7. Does she make friends easily, or does she have trouble getting along with people?
Oh, not at all. What even is making friends? To be fair, Regina doesn't exactly go out of her way to make them. She's the type of person who immediately focuses on other people's flaws, and worrying about whether or not they'll betray her, and taking note of how annoying they are, and yeah. She's also extremely stubborn, sharp, easily offended, and sometimes a bit overbearing. She's far from easy to get along with.

8. Which does she consider more important: family or friends?
Regina is all about family - it's almost an obsession. So that answers that. It doesn't help that her own family is so screwed up - neither of her parents have exactly been beneficial, her relationship with her son is rocky at best, and she is a part of that beyond screwed up thing that is the Charmings Family Tree.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has she been married more than once?
Widowed - she was married once and then she kind of, y'know, arranged her husband's brutal murder. And she is in a relationship now. With something other than her obsessive craving for vengeance, HAW HAW HAW. Love is weakness.

10. Is she currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
Yes! Jefferson. Which is a fairly recent development, but. ...Actually, is it even board canon yet? Oh well. Love is weakness.

11. Who was her first crush? Who is her latest?
She's only ever loved two people romantically, guys. Two people. And it took her a hell of a long time to get over the first one - who was, of course, Daniel. Recently, however, she's been able to let him go, and has begun to fall for Jefferson. And she really, really doesn't know what to think about that. Because the last thing she wants is to get her heart broken, but her feelings are kind of inevitable, and they're frightening because she isn't even sure if she knows how to show anyone this kind of love and affection anymore - and what scares her more than getting hurt is hurting Jefferson. Love is weakness.

12. What does she look for in a romantic partner?
Someone who compliments her. Someone who doesn't treat her like an evil bitch, but who looks deeper than that. Who doesn't flinch away from her when she's angry, but holds his ground instead. Who allows her to be independent, but is affectionate and even protective (it's secretly kind of nice), and, above all, someone who can make her laugh. A difficult, daunting task - but she really just needs to smile more, and she looks for that in a person. ..Oh, yeah, and they kind of have to like kids. And animals. And they can't be too disheveled or sloppy, and they have to be able to find just the right way to charm her, and they have to be incredibly loyal. And, above all, patient, because God Regina has so many issues she still needs to get over. She's just incredibly picky when it comes to lovers - let's leave it at that, okay? Love is weakness.

13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does she relate to them? If no, does she want any?
She has no biological children, but she has an adopted son and a stepdaughter. She loves Henry as much as she would love any biological child of hers, really. She didn't give birth to him, sure, but people pls. She's taught him to walk, talk, heard his first words, bandaged all his scraped knees, made his favorite foods, thrown all his birthday parties, taken all the pictures, cried on his first day of school....she is his mother.

As for Snow, it's...painful for both of them, I think, to have lost the relationship they once had, even if they won't admit it. But at the end of the day Regina did raise her, so um, there's that.

As for more kids? HELL YES SHE WANTS THEM. Only if she were to get married again or something, though. beware AM, a pregnant Regina is a terrifying Regina. dem hormones. if you so much as look at her wrong, she'll either blow you up or burst into tears. you decide which is scarier.


14. Does she have any rivals or enemies?
More than anyone could count. Most of Storybrooke, for one. Her main rival is probably Mt Glod because THEY ALWAYS BICKER, while the enemy she is most concerned about is...actually no longer Snow, YAY PROGRESS. But yeah, that would probably be Cora. She doesn't like Team Snake too much, either.

15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does she fall on the Kinsey scale?
I would say that she's relatively...heterosexual? chemistry with everything that moves aside, lana pls. In the Enchanted Forest, though, love isn't really about sexual orientation - it's about whoever happens to be your true love. Her true love was a man, Daniel. And now she loves Jefferson. She's just never really had any feelings for a woman, and I doubt that'll change any time soon. Not that she'd freak out or anything like "YOU POINTED AT ME WHEN YOU SAID GAY DDD<" but hey, she's finally got over Daniel, and she's settled into another relationship. Why would she choose now to experiment with anything?

16. How does she feel about sex? How important is it to her?
If you take certain implications into account, her first experience with sex (and probably many after that) was probably rape. After she killed Leopold, she sort of turned right around and detached herself completely from physical intimacy, making it all about power and seduction and control. It has never been anything more to her than a tool. Anything more intimate and loving...scares her, to be honest.

17. What are her turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
I think she really likes people who aren't afraid of her. Like, as much as she likes to be in control, she finds defiance kind of sexy. ..Also, she finds cowardice and people who back down far too easily to be kind of lame.

One major, major thing that'll turn her right off is if someone's too possessive of her. Oh god, will she hate that - after Leopold, are you kidding?

And weird bedroom habits? ..She's the evil queen. I'll leave it up to your imagination.



Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does she fit type?
These are both irrelevant because guess what, she was born in the Enchanted Forest, which doesn't go by our calendar. But based on which signs she fits the most? For Western astrology, I would say she's probably a Taurus. Taurus is the sign associated with Earth and maternal beings and wow, yeah. So apart from that, a Taurus is known to be calm, collected, and difficult to faze outwardly - unless someone they love is threatened. In which case, all hell breaks loose. Otherwise, though, they are extremely stubborn, and tend to hold people at arm's length. If they don't like what you're saying, they'll just flat out ignore you. Because of their stubbornness and the facade of indifference they hide behind, they can sometimes be mistaken for being snobby or conceited. They're good at 'switching off' their emotions, and at least pretending to disregard what others think of them.

Chinese zodiac was a LOT harder, but I think she's closest to the Tiger. Some Tiger traits:
-Symbolizes power, passion and daring
-Loves children
-Whatever the current object of adulation is, everything else will take second place
-Female tigers are fashion conscious, articulate and liberated
-Good strategists, often have a hidden agenda
- Natural leaders, they have a strong sense of their own dignity, and if they find themselves in the ranks, they can be stubborn and obstinate.
- They may appear cool, but they have the Big Cat's instincts to pounce at a moment's warning.


2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in her life?
Not really, no. Regina generally dislikes and/or disregards the idea of there being a "higher power" out there, because if there is, then it means that that son of a bitch never helped her through all her suffering so she doesn't owe 'em a damn thing.

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Her code of ethics previously consisted of 'if i have to do it to get my revenge, i'm doing it, yolo'. Now her morals are a little less loose, though mostly because henry is like her morality pet but whatever. Generally as a rule, she won't hurt children. And she won't go out of her way to hurt anyone innocent, although if she has to, she has to. When she has a goal in mind, she becomes very focuses on it, and rather ruthless in pursuing it - she's not the type to care about collateral damage unless it involves someone she already cares about. You know that question that's like "If you could save five strangers or one loved one from a fire, which would you choose?" Yeah. She'd choose the one loved on every time without a moment of remorse.

4. How does she regard beliefs that differ from hers? Is she tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
Indifferent's a good word. Regina's really not one to care what other people think - of her, or of what she believes. It doesn't bother her if someone disagrees with her, as long as they don't get in her way.

5. What prejudices does she hold? Are they irrational or does she have a good reason for them?
She doesn't really have many. She's never been a very prejudiced person - even when she was queen, her attitude was just kind of "ha ha ha i'm better than all of you, i don't care about your gender or race or class". Actually, though - she kind of resents other royals? There's a pretty good reason behind that one, because of all the crap she suffered through with King Leopold - and even after he was dead, all the conferences and negotiations and such she held with other kingdoms always sort of disgusted her.



Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is she rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
She's always been very well-off financially, and when she enacted the curse she ensured that this would be the case in her new life, as well.

2. What is her social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected her?
Cora and Henry Sr. raised Regina on this huge estate with its own stables and lots and lots of land, so she's had wealth and status for most of her life. That only elevated when she became queen, of course - but rather than benefiting her in the way her mother believed it would, this had devastating effects on Regina. She was planning to run away with a stable boy, for God's sake, she never cared about status. Being Queen, being trapped in that life, made her terribly unhappy, and only nurtured and encouraged the hatred that slowly grew within her.


3. Where does she live? House, apartment, trailer? Is her home her castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does she share it with others?
She lives in her near-mansion in Storybrooke. regina pls. you just had to go over the top, didn't you. Anyway, she is a neat freak and keeps it in spotless condition. She's the kind of person who freaks out if you don't take your shoes off when you come inside, seriously. She lives with her son, Henry, and...apparently throws parties for Thanksgiving.


4. Besides the basic necessities, what does she spend her money on?
Clothes, shoes, make-up, perfume, hair products, things for Henry, riding equipment, potion and spell ingredients.

5. What does she do for a living? Is she good at it? Does she enjoy it, or would she rather be doing something else?
She was formerly a queen, now a mayor. Except...not, because the curse is broken. She hated being queen, and enjoyed being mayor more for the power than for the actual job itself. I don't think Regina's actually...ever given any thought to what she wants to be, career-wise, because she's never had that choice. She casted the curse, and got to mold everyone's lives, and when it came to herself I think she was like "well power is all I've ever had - I can't let that go now. what else is there for me?"

6. What are her interests or hobbies? How does she spend her free time?
did you guys know she likes horseback riding because I DON'T THINK I'VE MADE THAT CLEAR YET. She also likes baking, cooking in general, and -drumroll- ~fashion designing~. My headcanon is that she made those evil queen dresses. Also, she doesn't really have a lot of free time - she's a single mom and also Public Enemy Number One in Storybrooke, so...

7. What are her eating habits? Does she skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
As I mentioned before, two words: health nut. She doesn't skip meals because NO THAT'S BAD FOR YOU, although she loses her appetite when she's stressed. She does not typically indulge in junk food. She prefers cooking to eating out, because she likes to flaunt her cooking skills - and she does drink, though not excessively unless she's with oswin, especially now that she's a mom. Though she does make her own apple cider - yes, it's alcoholic.

[Mithos]

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy? Short - at least in his true form, and quite slender. Leanly muscled at best, could probably be called scrawny if not for being an angel.

2. How old is he? Twelve, or over four thousand. Take your pick.

3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch? Mithos tends to have decent posture - unless he's trying to deceive someone into thinking he's actually young, weak and helpless. Then he hunches a bit.

4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities? Extremely fit, in perfect physical condition and hasn't had an illness since he became an angel.

5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid? Quite still, not prone to twitching or fidgeting - every movement is deliberate, and though he's quite graceful, there is always an undercurrent of tension as well. He has to actively hold back a great deal due to angelic strength.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror? Er fairly so I guess??? I don't know I don't think he cares much about appearance - though he favours his true form around people he likes, and uses Yggdrasil as a way to keep people away from him, as aside from blond hair they really don't look that much alike. He even changed the colour of his eyes, perhaps to highlight that Yggdrasil is not Mithos the Hero, and never could be.

7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred? Clear, not incredibly pale but rather light.

8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style. Striking blond, worn loose to his shoulders. As silky as a L'oreal commercial

9. What color are his eyes? Bright, clear blue.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features? Other than being an angel and having a green Cruxis Crystal embedded in his body, nope.

11. What are his chief tension centers? Hands, back and shoulders.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit? Rather simple, predominantly white - he doesn't care much for clothes and basically wears the same thing he's worn since the war.

13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them? He's had them on for four thousand years. I would think so.

14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences? Same clothes. Four thousand years.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando? can I just skip this and head to the more interesting parts already



Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse? Rather average in pitch, definitely a child's voice. It's much deeper in his older body, but even then not the deepest - he definitely doesn't sound all that intimidating.

2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate? Fairly evenly, though he's inclined to elongate his words a little and drift into bitter, sardonic tones. He goes quiet when angry - even impassioned speeches or shouting is all fairly low-key, rather than full on screams.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics? Not very many! His insults kind of suck when he's pissed, though.

4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency? Completely fluent in angelic, which he... invented, apparently, and the standard language used in his world.

5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations? Not really.

6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words? He might plan out certain speeches, but as a whole he's quite skilled at speaking without much preparation.

7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change? As a whole, Mithos is incredibly eloquent - he has a natural, infectious charisma which pulls people along. It doesn't need to be planned for, either - if he believes strongly in something, it'll show through in everything he says and it'll all just come together.



Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart? Quite intelligent - there is a reason he was a prodigy, after all, and though he learns quickly regardless, he leans more towards being book smart.

2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate? Mithos is, as a whole, good at both reacting and planning things out beforehand. However, he's worse with his reactions when purely motivated by emotion, and his long-term plans tend to be far more solid. For example, while his plan to split the world in two to sustain it on less mana was quite well thought out, the quicker action of storing Martel's soul in the Great Seed was... problematic.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical? Intuitive and idealistic. Mithos feels everything strongly, has strong opinions and at his core, believes that the world can become a better place. He fights for what he believes in, and though he can appreciate logic and reason, at heart emotion always appeals more.

4. What kind of education has the character had? Kind of a shitty one at first, due to being taught magic haphazardly in Heimdall and then picking things up from his companions during their travels. After he established himself as leader of Cruxis he became far more educated in matters of... well, almost everything, but most prominently mana theory, magic in general and weird time and space stuff.

5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about? Magic, angels - since he invented them - exspheres in general. He's interested in learning about quite a few things, but what really gets him interested is the history, development and magic of other worlds.

6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert? Fairly introverted - though he's clingy to those he cares about, he generally keeps to himself as a rule. He likes having people around him but he doesn't want or need constant attention and interaction.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven? Mithos is... difficult. At heart, he's gentle and compassionate and an idealist, and he genuinely wants things to be better. Of course, that resolve isn't something that wavers, but it can be warped. He's moody - the difficulties in his life led to him hardening his heart, and his compassion became difficult to earn, bordering on worship for those who already had it. His outlook is rather cynical and bitter, and he's prone to lashing out when angered - and he's angered easily enough, now. He affects arrogance and superiority, but it's riddled by insecurities - why is he alive, why did he fail, why wasn't he right - and he can go from confident to doubtful extremely quickly.

There's no doubt that he's driven, and intelligent, but it's difficult for him to fail and even harder for him to learn from his mistakes. Those failures plague him, making more flaws and insecurities to be exploited, ones that he refuses to acknowledge until he no longer can avoid them.

He was once a good person. Perhaps he can still be called one - but it is buried beneath layers of denial and bitterness and hatred. Where he once looked for solutions, now he clings to only one path, because changing his course is something he can't allow. If he turns back, if he steps away from what he has done, he might disappear - and he can't let that happen.

8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic? Suspicious. Everyone is either a tool, a threat or someone too inconsequential to matter to him, but he's cautious around them. In new situations he tends to be more abrasive and wary. There's a bit of a need to control himself and his surroundings - when he's in a new place he'll always default to gathering information to make sure he won't be surprised. If found out or attacked while still getting used to things, he... is much more prone to just attacking things.

9. Is he more likely to act, or to react? React - though he's a decisive person, the slow decay of his ideals meant he's more wont to lash out blindly after being provoked into an action than take any step himself.

10. Which is his default: fight or flight? Fight all the way, with a special order of smiting thrown in.

11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks? Mithos... has kind of forgotten how to relax and make jokes, and his brand of humour is rather elitist - he's quick to laugh at others' failings more than make any genuinely witty comments. He occasionally pokes fun at himself when around people he trusts, but even that is rather barbed. He can appreciate jokes, but he's always a little awkward about it, as if it's been a long time since he's laughed about anything out of genuine humour.

12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them? No.

13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person? Being cast out of Heimdall with his sister, which started his hero worship of her and the journey that ended so disastrously.

Meeting Kratos, meeting Yuan, seeing the damage the war is causing - all opened his eyes to the cruelties of humans and the damage that the war was doing, and also gave him his two closest friends. He probably couldn't have achieved what he did without them.

Martel's death. She died when she had been doing the right thing, the kind thing, and that cemented humans as unable to be saved, that proved that the world was wrong and had to be fixed, and for the first time, he had the power to fix it. He could do what she wanted, what he had wanted, and give her a world free from hatred and discrimination. This was where it started.

The moment when he split the world. This was the first step in fixing the world, made with good intentions - and considering the power he held, it was amazing he never did more with it. He saved the world, put the first steps of his plan in motion to save his sister, and everything came together. Even if he was hurt by grief, he had resolve, and for a while, at least, everything was fine, going as it should have been. Not that it stayed like that.

Meeting Lloyd's group, especially Genis, changed him, made him question his actions. That was the first seed of doubt in his reign, that maybe he was wrong, maybe he had done everything wrong, or maybe the world didn't need him. After all, Lloyd was trying his best, and Genis believed so much in him - but this was the first time he had friends in so long, and he tried to cling to them until his plans forced him to reveal himself. Then, he pushed forward, past those doubts.

Only to confront them again when Martel rejected him, which changed everything. He couldn't take that, couldn't take the person he had steadily built up into something perfect to deny him of what he had done, to take away his goals and noble intentions and reveal the truth. He denied everything because it hurt too much, and that didn't make the doubts disappear - it only prolonged his own weakness.

He died, in the end, and he did it still in denial, still lashing out at what Lloyd and the party offered him. He had spent too much effort, focused too much on this to go back, to simply live again. He died with resolve, staying true to what he believed in, knowing that he was right - and then he woke up, alive, in a strange world and with all of that purpose and resolve made meaningless again.

14. What does he fear? Failure. Being rejected by those he loves - most notably Martel. Those he loves dying - which is, of course, linked to his own failure.

15. What are his hopes or aspirations? To bring his sister back. To create peace, to make the world a better place, to eliminate discrimination.

16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him? He's at heart a grieving twelve year old still, and he knows that Martel told him that what he was doing is wrong.



Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents. Presumably close with at least the elf parent before he and his sister were forced to leave the village. The rest is ~unknown~ but given he never mentions them....

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like? Mithos had Martel, and he adored her. It wasn't much of a surprise that she became the goddess of the religion he created, venerated for her sacrifice, given all the love and respect she had earned in his eyes. She was his guardian and a parental figure to him, caring for him as they travelled, never showing her own true feelings about being chased away or treated like filth. In return for the never-ending patience and strength, Mithos wanted dearly to protect her. She was the best person in the world to him, the kindest, the most loving, and he idolized her for it.

Of course, then it went all downhill after she died.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand? No one related by blood.

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them? Yuan and Kratos - Kratos served as his mentor, another guardian and a father figure, and Mithos always looked up to him. Or did, until Martel died and Mithos surpassed Kratos in power. Yuan was close as well, as a half-elf who loved Martel, but after Martel's death he took a stand against Mithos, and because of that Mithos grew to loathe him.

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet? Genis was Mithos' friend, even if they had only known each other for a short time. They met when Mithos struck down a racist village, and then posed as one of the injured that Genis and the rest of the party took in and escorted to a safe place. They bonded over their similarities, the racism they suffered through and their bonds with their sisters.

6. Does he have other close friends? The rest of the party became his friends - which didn't stop him from betraying and using them. After coming back to life, he considers Regina a friend, if a strange one - they understand each other well enough that they could be either friends or enemies, and somehow Regina managed to become the former.

7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people? Mithos is charismatic, and really easy to like - he's always been skilled at making friends, though it's made more difficult when he's entrenched in his ways. There is always the question of whether he'll actually accept friends or allies - he's proud enough to often refuse outright, or prefer to have people as tools or servants rather than someone he can rely on. Relying on a person means he has to be vulnerable, it means they will be around when he is weak - and he's not willing to admit that easily.

8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends? Friends, when it comes to emotional anchors. Being related by blood doesn't mean anything - though of course, Martel counts as more than even his closest friends, but that's Martel.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once? just going to point out - twelve year old who froze his development

10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse? hahahaha

11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest? why are these questions even here

12. What does he look for in a romantic partner? HAZAMA

13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any? man having kids would be awkward

14. Does he have any rivals or enemies? Hazama, Pitch, anyone who goes out of their way to target him or interferes with his plans. He doesn't exactly find it difficult to hate people.

15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale? Asexual/undeveloped and probably stuck as that

16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him? see above

17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits? SEE ABOVE



Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type? No idea. He was born four thousand years ago. However, he does fit a Scorpio - he has a charismatic and exciting personality, but he's also intense and motivated, inclined to become jealous and vengeful and taking insults harshly. also I suck at zodiac stuff haha

2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life? Slightly spiritual in that he knows souls are tangible and exist - after all, he's worked with them - and he believes his sister watches over him but otherwise... he doesn't care much.

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it? Mithos doesn't like hurting people, especially innocents - but he's long since compromised that, and now he can easily hurt anyone, as long as he doesn't care about them.

4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent? wretched inferior beings but no actually he doesn't really care that much unless they outright interfere with his plans. He didn't really approve of atheism in Tethe'alla or Sylvarant, of course, because a good deal of influence came through the spread of the Church of Martel.

5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them? prejudices what prejudices

Mithos hates humans. They're destructive, they ruin everything they touch, they cause war and strife and they are full of hatred. They turn on anything that is different and try to kill it. He has his reasons for thinking this - half-elf discrimination was incredibly prevalent even in his youth, and he and his sister were often treated like filth for daring to ask for food or medicine. A human his sister healed instantly killed her - both for being a half-elf and interfering in the war - and his hatred only grew after that moment.



Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt? He was poor and homeless as a child. Then he became an evil overlord and money stopped mattering.

2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him? Poor, homeless, orphan and low-class. And then an evil overlord, but he still acutely remembers what his life was like back then. The angelic process removes most of the sources of pain and discomfort that he endured.

3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others? A castle built in the upper reaches of a comet made of mana, formerly. Now he doesn't really live anywhere.

4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on? Money? Why would he need money?

5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else?

Physically, he is disfigured from his wounds, and is not particularly handsome even without his scars and deformations. When looking in the mirror however, Bane is filled with a sense of self-hatred, at first due to Tahlia's romantic disinterest in him coupled with his excommunication from the league, and now, due to his failure in Gotham leading to her death. As such, he rarely has any mirrors in his lairs.

[Richard]

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Richard is, shall we say....thin. He's moderately tall, standing at near shoulder height on even massive creatures like Krunch. He's quite literally nothing but skin and bones, and as such is surprisingly light -- light enough to be affixed to an arrow and fired, as improbable as it sounds.

2. How old is he?
No one really knows. In terms of actual age....probably not more than 30 or 40. In terms of how long he's been around, however, it's close to a thousand years, with the exact number being impossible to figure if you're not Richard himself.

3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
Richard carries himself exactly the way he wants to. He slouches, hunches over, crawls around, hops up on his toes, bends over, walks around backwards, flops down on all fours like a dog or even a crab, and all manner of other ridiculous postures. Generally speaking, thowever, he tends to favor standing relatively straight up, with a posture that suggests he could just as easily waltz away as break into any number magical shenanighans or martial arts trickery.

4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Well, if you put aside the whole "he's an undead" thing, I guess he's kind of....healthy. He's definitely got an awkward figure, but there were never any health problems or conditions mentioned from the days when he was living, and physical disabilities are kind of moot, as well.

5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Honestly, no one's been able to tell yet. He's been tossed and flung around and made enough landings that were both clumsy and graceful, it's generally accepted you just don't ask. When he really has to, however, he proves himself surprisingly graceful and fluid with his movements, pulling off a number of finely-timed and planned manuevers, both magically and physically.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
......not very at all. Some people have said that, when he was still alive and human, he wasn't exactly unattractive, but that's neither here nor there. As far as mirrors go, they tend to break when he looks in them, so that should give you enough.

7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
White. As bleached bones. Seriously, Richard's skin is pure white, with the only distinguishing markings that mar it being a pair of odd scars above his left eye, in the shape of what look like checkmarks. How he got them, and why they never healed, is anyone's guess.

8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
All that's ever been seen of Richard's hair is that it's dark and relatively long, at least during his human days. Nowadays, no one even knows if he has hair.

9. What color are his eyes?
Yellow.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Aside from the odd scars, strange eye color, and his bleached-white skin? Well, his fingers are clawed?

11. What are his chief tension centers?
Generally, when he gets angry or tense or whathaveyou, his expression distorts horribly -- like, more than normal for most people -- with his eyebrows especially nearly folding in on themselves. His hands also clench into fists more often than not. Anything else is hidden by his robes, but he does tend to occasionally hunch over or slouch more than usual when overly angered or tense about a situation.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
Richard's wardrobe is very....mystic? He's constantly wearing his robes, and has been for the past thousand years or so, I guess. They've been through everything he has, and seem to heal with him, repairing holes and tears just as easily as a normal person might heal a scratch or stab wound in time.

13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
Eyep.

14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
Always the same robe, all the time.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Apparently, boxers. *shudder*


Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Richard's voice is....surprisingly normal. It's a bit on the deeper side, considering how thin and sickly he appears, but otherwise unremarkable.

2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
Fast. Very fast. He spews his words out very loudly, very quickly, and he never seems to run shy of things to say, never slowing down or hesitating for a moment.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
He has a slight english accent, though it isn't very pronounced. His pronunciation and word choice seem to reflect a predominantly British variant of english as opposed to Ameican english, though he flip-flops between them indiscriminately and it's hard to pin him down.

4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
He speaks English plain enough, as is obvious. Any other languages haven't been touched on/

5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Nope.

6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
Richard thinking about things would be a nightmare.

7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
To say he's eloquent might be a bit much. But to say he's inarticulate might also be a bit drastic, so....yeah.



Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
If you can ever get him to [i[show[/i] it, Richard is actually surprisingly intelligent. With living as long as he has and studying people, magic, and the world itself for so many years, he's bound to have picked up quite a bit. He's more strictly intelligent than he is wise or sensible, however. He's a complete moron when he isn't prompted specifically to show something off, and sometimes even when he is called to do so.

2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
Richard just goes and goes, never stopping to think unless the situation is truly dire.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Practicality isn't even in Richard's vocabulary. He operates on rule of cool. He does what works, and if it doesn't work, he applies more fire until it does work. He's not logical by any stretch of the word, either; that would imply he had the want or capacity to think things through.

4. What kind of education has the character had?
No one knows. He might have had a good education and schooling, but it's never been revealed. I like to think he had at least enough of an education to cover the basics, but then again I also like to say he can't read, so yeah.

5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?
Richard's only areas of expertise are horrible things t hat no one ever wants to see or hear about. Mayhem, slaughter, mass destruction and murder, the best ways to kill and devour children and other small creatures, etc. He is quite good at various sorts of crafts and the like, even going so far as to make a wallet out of a smurf, and make a hat out of a kidney. As far as learning more, everything. Seriously, he wants to learn all the things. He's just not the best student.

6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert?
A bit of both. He extroverts with a bunch of lies and nonsense to cover up and hide the truth both from himself and from everyone else -- the truth hurts to have to remember or face.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
Richard's mood is fairly stable, only ever drifting as low as annoyance. He's generally cheerful, putting on a big grin and laughing at everything, and is insufferably laid back most of the time. Or at least as far as anyone can ever see and tell. How he really feels is another story altogether.

8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
Overly enthusiastic. He automatically assumes anyone who can survive the first five minutes of his company is his friend, unless of course you turn out to be an asshat and offend him in some way. Then you're just going to wind up charcoal.

9. Is he more likely to act, or to react?
Act. Always act.

10. Which is his default: fight or flight?
FIGHT

11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
......morbid. Richard's sense of humor is impossible to pin down. He finds almost anything funny, really, cracking jokes about anything and everything out there, even going so far as to genuinely offend people and earn cold, dumbfounded stares even from people who know him well enough to know he's joking.

12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them?
Oh good god. He's never been diagnosed -- no doctor would ever see him. But he probably....has a few. Not the ones you might think, though. He suffers terribly for what he does. All the mayhem and the death and chaos and destruction and bathing in babies' blood, he doesn't like it. At all. He does it because that's the source of his power. Well that and his father's dead remains but shhhhh. He does it because his friends need that power, because the world needs that power. It's a heavy burden, and if you catch him on his own, sometimes you might catch him all broken down and letting that suffering out for a moment. So he's very well aware of what he's doing, and the only reason he does it so gleefully is to bury all the pain. He's probably got more than a few disorders running rampant in his head, but good luck figuring out which ones are faked to help him cope and which ones are genuine.

13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person?
I would have to guess....killing his family, the undefined curse laid on him, becoming a warlock, and meeting Cale, in no particular order.

14. What does he fear?
He's never really shown any fears, but....I would imagine the eventual end and dying scares him a little. And maybe winding up alone, with nothing to use his power for.

15. What are his hopes or aspirations?
To finally be free of the undefined curse one day and go back to the way things were "before".

16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?
His history. How he became what he is, his identity, what he's really thinking most of the time.



Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents.
Well.... He murdered them, if that counts for anything. I do like to think he was fairly close to his family, in a general sense, or killing them would have been no different than killing anyone else. And it seems like a fairly significant event for him, so....yeah.

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
None have been mentioned.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?
No one mentioned.

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?
No one who he's that close to, no.

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Currently....probably Cale. And they met seemingly by chance, though it was all set up a long while ago that Richard would seek him out and be his companion and aid him in his quest.

6. Does he have other close friends?
Weeeeeeell..... He was at least on moderately friendly terms with Krunch Bloodrage before his death, and he seems to have a friendly enough relationship with Benn'joon.

7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
.........yes.

8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
Well, neither one is all that important, but seeing as he doesn't have any family left....probably friends.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA single But no, we honestly don't really know. He could have been married or something, but I suspect he was cursed and turned and warlock'd too early on in his life for any such.

10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
No.

11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?
I don't think he ever had any crushes at all.

12. What does he look for in a romantic partner?
Uh.....he doesn't. He has no interest, really.

13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any?
None that have been mentioned.

14. Does he have any rivals or enemies?
Most everyone who's ever lost someone to his antics, I guess.

15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale?
He, uh....he's pretty asexual. And not just because HOW DO RELATIONSHIP FAIL CANNOT he's just honestly not interested.

16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him?
No.

17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
Look at who this is about. Then, ask yourself if you really to know this.



Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type?
Richard was born a good thousand years ago in a world with how do calender. So your guess is as good as mine.

2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life?
Well, considering he eats souls on a regular basis to maintain and learn new powers, he's largely spiritual. It's not really that important beyond a means to keep himself from dying, but he knows a fair bit about souls and such and the afterlife and dying and etc. So there.

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
He does, but he can't afford to adhere to it except in inordinately terrible situations.

4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
He's so indifferent it almost hurts.

5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them?
He's mentioned more than one time about how he hates people who judge him just because he's undead, and it has honestly seemed to get him genuinely riled up and almsot angry. Whether it was a joke or not, who can actually say. Basically, he's prejudiced against racists, for obvious reasons.



Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
In life, he was apparently the son of a well-off family, so I'd imagine he had money enough and was quite finanically secure. These days, he doesn't really need money, so it's hard to say, but his town seems to be well enough off, so as its mayor one could imagine he's secure enough.

2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him?
Born as one Lord Ashendale, then to wanderinv vagabond, then to Mayor Richard, and then to Lord Mayor. You decide what his status is.

3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others?
More often than not he's travelling wherever, but when he's at "home", it's a slightly above-average house and office-type building that serves as both his home and office as Lord Mayor of his town, "Pretty Pretty Unicorn". It's a rather large building, but otherwise unremarkable. The exterior is well-kept, if ordinary and just seemingly constructed of wood, while the interior is somewhat dusty and ill-maintained, due to him rarely being home. Of note is its gigantic underground crypt and magical laboratory, which no one can explain how it got there, or how it moves with the house.

4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on?
Jack squat.

5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else?
He magics. He kills. He mayors. He's excellent at magic and killing, not so much at mayor'ing. But who better than an undead to be mayor to a town of the undead, no matter how incompetent?

6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time?
He seems to share a fond love for gardening and the like, though he'll utterly burn and destroy anyone who figures this out from a source other than him directly telling them.

7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
Er....he tends to eat...messily. Very messily. You really don't want to know what he eats, trust me.



Associations
Which of the following do you associate with the character, or which is his favorite:

1. Color? Red
2. Smell? Dusty crypt smell
3. Time of day? Dusk
4. Season? Summer
5. Book? Probably some children's picture book or something equally simple
6. Music? Silence
7. Place? Library
8. Substance? Graveyard dirt
9. Plant? Oak tree
10. Animal? Crow

[Ruby]

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Depends on the vessel. The one she has now is teeny tiny. About 5'2, thin, not very intimidating.

2. How old is she?
Somewhere between five hundred and six hundred years old. She appears to be in her early twenties right now, however.

3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch?
Ruby really doesn't worry too much about her posture. Naturally she has a somewhat confident but casual way of carrying herself, though.

4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
The girl she's possessing - well, she was just kind of the quiet, girly type who didn't work out too much. Whatever meat-suit she's wearing, though, Ruby makes sure to get it into peak physical condition, so that's started to change.

As for her own physical disabilities, well...she can't really...do much if she doesn't have a body?



5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
She just kind of saunters. Like I said, she's very fluid, very confident, almost seductive in the way she moves. It's a distinctive quality that carries over, no matter who she's possessing.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror?
Um. Physically her soul is a disembodied cloud of black smoke. Her vessel right now is pretty in a cute, girl-next-door kind of way, I would say. Addressing her self-image, though, is something that Ruby really shies away from. She looks in the mirror and sees a human, and that's...kind of painful. Because she knows it's not real. It's not her. She's not a human anymore - she's a monster.

7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Tanned. Yaaay Italian heritage?

8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style.
Her hair is dark, almost black, and fairly long - falling midway down her back. It's very thick as well, and naturally falls in loose curls. She doesn't do much with it - nothing fancy. Occasionally she throws it up in a ponytail but...girly stuff really isn't her thing. She's kinda forgotten how to take pleasure in like...primping and preening and that kind of thing.

9. What color are her eyes?
Dark brown.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
BLACK. CLOUD. OF DEMONIC. SMOKE.

11. What are her chief tension centers?
When something really gets under Ruby's skin - which is rare- her whole being goes stiff. There's not really one specific area.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit?
Ruby's style is very casual. She's just sort of a jeans-and-tshirt kind of gal, with a touch more class thrown in. She's big on leather as well - leather jackets, leather boots. Her favorite article of clothing is her black leather jacket. She tends to wear dark colors in general, though, and doesn't really like to get dressed up - not unless the occasion absolutely calls for it.

13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them?
It's kind of hard when you get a new body every couple of years, and you have to like, re-adjust to that and change clothing size and all that jazz. But yeah, generally Ruby does pay attention to that sort of thing. She's not really a... 'comfortable in her own skin' type because, well, she doesn't technically have her own skin and she knows it - but she does make sure her clothes are well-fitted. And, y'know, as revealing as possible. demons are whores

14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences?
What is 'on the job'? She's a demon. She dresses how she wants to dress, regardless of the circumstances, unless there's something in it for her.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
wow um.



Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Light, kind of drawl-y, with a perpetually smug tone.

2. How does she normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does she talk easily, or does she hesitate?
She doesn't often raise her voice - not unless you manage to get her worked up. She speaks very easily, if not a bit slowly - as if she's savoring each and every one of her words.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
Nope!

4. What language/s does she speak, and with how much fluency?
English, Latin, and French.

5. Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Latin for certain spells and whatnot, but um.

6. Is she a good impromptu speaker, or does she have to think about her words?
She's a fairly good impromptu speaker - sometimes she doesn't think enough about her words, honestly.

7. Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Eh, somewhere in the middle. She's sharp and quick to retort, at least, but she's not someone with amazing formal public speaking skills, or anything like that. She can be a bit crude.



Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is she book-smart or street-smart?
Ruby definitely leans more towards street-smart. She knows how to handle herself, and she knows how to handle other people. She operates well under stress, and is extremely cunning and manipulative - she often weasels her way into obtaining the upper hand.

2. Does she think on her feet, or does she need time to deliberate?
She's excellent at thinking on her feet, but she also likes to have a solid plan to fall back on.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is she more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Logical and practical - she focuses on facts, and strays away from anything emotional, as a rule.

4. What kind of education has the character had?
I imagine her formal education was extremely basic. It probably consisted of like, reading, writing, and basic arithmetic. She finds that experience is a much more effective teacher.

5. What are her areas of expertise? What, if anything, is she interested in learning more about?
Martial arts, manipulation, lying, and fighting with some range of weapons - all thing's she's good at. She doesn't really have any positive, non-violent skills - but I guess she's interested in learning more about what other people are capable of. What their respective supernatural powers are, their strengths and weaknesses, all that jazz. All for her own purposes, of course.

6. Is she an introvert or an extrovert?
She paints herself as an extrovert, but doesn't really enjoy social interaction all that much - she'd prefer to be on her own.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is she even-tempered or does she have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
MOODY AS ALL HELL, omfg. This girl broods and sulks and is just generally bad-tempered, though...in an oddly lazy, laid-back sort of way. Seriously though, she's far from little miss sunshine.

8. How does she respond to new people or situations? Is she suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
It really depends on the person. If she thinks deceiving or manipulating them might be useful, then that's exactly what she'll do, and she's capable of presenting herself as friendly and somewhat benign. If not, then she'll just treat you with the same sense of mildly amused disdain that she treats most people, no matter how long she's known them. 'Warming up' to someone is something that happens really, really rarely for Ruby. I'm not sure she'd even know what to do if she felt like she didn't have to defensively snark at someone anymore. It'd be awkward for her.

9. Is she more likely to act, or to react?
Probably react.

10. Which is her default: fight or flight?
Flight, usually. She doesn't really like big confrontations, especially if she wasn't the one who initiated them.

11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does she appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
Dry, sometimes falsely-cheery sarcasm. She's quite snarky and quick-witted, actually - though sometimes her sense of humor is a bit morbid.

12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does she deal with them?
Demonic Bitch Disorder.

13. What moments in this character's life have defined her as a person?
When she sold her soul to save her family. When she became a demon. When she finally escaped hell and possessed her first vessel. When she realizes she was in some twisted version of love with Sam Winchester. Aaand when she finally betrayed him.

14. What does she fear?
Not much, but...Hell. Being sent back to hell, especially.

15. What are her hopes or aspirations?
Besides hoping Lucifer causes the apocalypse? She doesn't really...have any? Wow, that sounds kind of emo, but it's true. She really doesn't.

16. What is something she doesn't want anyone to find out about her?
That she remembers what it was like to be human, and that she desperately longs to have that back.



Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with her parents.
Ruby was, at one point, very close to her parents - her father, especially. Though...she can't remember much about them now. Mainly because she doesn't really want to.

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
She had one younger sister, whom she was very close to. When said sister was the first one in her family to fall violently ill, well - that was when Ruby sold her soul for their health.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom she is close? Are there ones she can't stand?
She can't stand, like, her entire demonic family, so.

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom she considers part of her family? What are her relationships with them?
Pffft. She doesn't like anyone nearly enough for that.


5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Ruby has NO FRIENDS, guys. None. because ew positive relationships B(. Especially with a human, of all things. They don't even live that long.

6. Does she have other close friends?
Nope.

7. Does she make friends easily, or does she have trouble getting along with people?
If she wants to, if she feels like it'll benefit her, she can make friends pretty easily - but when she's not putting on a show, her usual surly self is a bit difficult to get along with. Then there's the fact that you'll have to worry about her possibly stabbing you in the back at some point, so...

8. Which does she consider more important: family or friends?
Neither. Ew. At one point, though, her family was everything - she sold her soul in order to keep them safe and healthy, seeing as at the time the Black Plague was kind of a thing and everyone around them was dying and it was, y'know, really horrifying.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has she been married more than once?
Single. Aaaand most likely staying that way. LOVE IS WEAKNESS.

10. Is she currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
Nope.

11. Who was her first crush? Who is her latest?
She didn't have much interest in romance as a human - she was far too busy, y'know, trying to stay alive for that. And being that she went to hell and became a demon after she died, well...'love' is never actually something she has experienced. The closest she's probably ever gotten to it is with Sam Winchester, although even that is more of an unhealthy obsession than anything. And she'll never admit it, but it really, really hurt when he killed her - and I'm not talking about physically.

12. What does she look for in a romantic partner?
Someone who is physically attractive, not a complete idiot, and not looking for commitment, because she can't give it. Sorry.

13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does she relate to them? If no, does she want any?
Nope. Nor does she want them. Oh my god are you kidding? Being pregnant would be horrifying. Raising the resulting child would be even more so. It wouldn't even be hers, it would be...her vessel's. It would be awkward, is what it would be. And she doesn't even like kids.

14. Does she have any rivals or enemies?
Uh, like, everyone and their mothers. Specifically the Winchesters. Though oh God, does she love trolling them.


15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does she fall on the Kinsey scale?
As a rule, demons are generally pansexual. ...while angels are generally asexual. supernatural pls. OMG SEXUALITY IS BAD >(

16. How does she feel about sex? How important is it to her?
She's a very...sexual being, so. No qualms there. However, she's not really much more than a one-night-stand kinda gal.

17. What are her turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
Turn-ons would probably include...tall guys, big hands, and just a little bit of roughness. andsamwinchester

Turn-offs would include anyone getting too lovey-dovey or romantic (she's a demon, she doesnt deserve that mushy stuff that humans get), submissiveness, and anything too overtly...human, I guess.

She's flexible as far as bedroom habits; she'll adjust to her partner's tastes.


Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does she fit type?
I really like her as a Pisces.

"Mysterious and alluring individuals, most Pisces are extremely talented, but even though they are gifted in many ways, they still manage to spend most of their lives battling "confusing" conditions. Pisces is the sign symbolised by the image of two fish. Their symbol depicts one fish heading upward, the other pulling downward. This mirrors how Pisceans are frequently torn between two pathways in life, or actually do live two very different existences at the same time. This zodiac sign is acknowledged as being the Saint and the Sinner rolled into one; the trendsetter of fashion or art, the lost soul, the philosopher and the psychotic and the visionary."

For Chinese zodiac, maybe a Snake. "Intellectual, quick-witted, passionate and sometimes feared", "Females are noted for their brains and beauty", "not averse to double-dealing when it suits them".
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in her life?
I think it's pret-ty save to say she's religious, and that it's important to her, given that she went to hell and met the devil and became a demon. When she was human, though, religion didn't hold much weight with her - she didn't even really understand the severity of what selling her soul to the devil would mean, or what an eternity in hell would be like.

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Demons aren't really known for their...keen sense of morality. In fact, they typically go out of their way to be deliberately unethical. Ruby, perhaps because she can remember what it's like to be human, or perhaps because she simply prefers underhanded manipulation to outright violence, is a bit different. She doesn't typically go around slaughtering people just for fun, and she looks down on those that do. But she doesn't have qualms with murder if it's necessary, either - or, y'know, kidnapping, torture, manipulation, lying, deal-breaking, or toying with someone's emotions. As long as she believes it's necessary to her goals, she isn't going to be very remorseful about it.

That being said, she doesn't really get a thrill out of messing with someone who can't defend themselves. Doesn't sit too well with her. And she would never wish what she went through - going through years and years of torture in hell, losing her humanity, and becoming a demon - on anyone. That's one fate that she would probably go out of her way to save someone from.


4. How does she regard beliefs that differ from hers? Is she tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
She's kind of intolerant, unfortunately. She really doesn't like what she believes being questioned - it just doesn't sit well with her. Telling her that Lucifer doesn't exist isn't going to go over well - telling her that humans aren't that bad, or that DEMONZ CAN BE REDEEMED :] is probably going to go over even worse because that's not possible.

5. What prejudices does she hold? Are they irrational or does she have a good reason for them?
Hahaha WELP. Ruby absolutely hates humans. Although she's pretty good at hiding it when she's conversing with them, don't be fooled - she secretly wants to tear you to shreds. It's a loathing that actually stems from a very deeply buried sense of jealousy. She envies humans for what they have, and she's incredibly bitter that she lost her own humanity. She's not all too fond of demons, either - really the general senseless violence and brutality most of them display just sort of disgusts her. She avoids associating with them if she can.



Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is she rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
She's a demon. She doesn't need money - or if she ever decides she does, she steals from a few people, kills a few others, what's the big deal?

2. What is her social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected her?
Demons don't really...have social status? When she was human, I don't imagine she was very high on the social ladder. Her family didn't have the money to get themselves the medicine or the protection they needed. Changing from a human to a demon, however, has been...more rough on her than she likes to admit. Most demons are tortured in hell until they lose their humanity entirely, you know. They don't even remember who they used to be. But Ruby, she remembers what it's like to be human. And the truth is...she really, really wishes that she could just forget.


3. Where does she live? House, apartment, trailer? Is her home her castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does she share it with others?
She doesn't really live any one specific place. She just roams from city to city, wherever there's 'work' to be done, and most often rents out a hotel room or something.

4. Besides the basic necessities, what does she spend her money on?
She actually doesn't have to spend her money on basic necessities, so she just spends it on the things she wants. Clothes, weapons, hotel rooms - some french fries, every now and then.

5. What does she do for a living? Is she good at it? Does she enjoy it, or would she rather be doing something else?
She's a demon. So she...lies and cheats and kills for a living - though she also hides behind the facade of being a hunter. And if you're asking whether or not Ruby likes being a demon, then no. No, she really doesn't. Demons are monsters. They're vile, the lowest of the low. She hates them, and she hates herself. But...there's no changing what she's become. No point moping about it - not when you can take your self-loathing out on the rest of the world instead, right?

6. What are her interests or hobbies? How does she spend her free time?
Interests? Hobbies? ..Uh. how do you even. Occupying her time with anything other than hunting or slinking around spying on people or, y'know, manipulating the hell out of them, is kind of unfathomable to Ruby. If she were put in a relatively normal situation, and she wasn't acting, she'd have no idea what to do with herself.

7. What are her eating habits? Does she skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
She doesn't really have to eat, but she does enjoy certain human foods. French fries being one of them. And booze. Booze is always good.

[Jack Frost]

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?

Jack is eternally a teenager. This means that he’s short as hell, pretty much. He’s also a pretty thin guy, having been an active person before being Jack Frost and continuing that trend after. His appearance cannot change, meaning that he can eat all he wants and never get any fatter.

2. How old is he?

He’s technically 318 years old but physically he’s 18 years old. He’s also 18 mentally – he still acts like the immature, fun-loving teenager he was before being Jack Frost.

3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?

Even though he’s as physically young as he is, Jack doesn’t slouch. He stands up straight most of the time. But he’s… well, kinda lazy, so he can be caught slouching at times.

4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?

Jack was a very active kid before being Jack Frost. Because of this, he’s in shape. His appearance is also unable to change, so he’s eternally in shape. He doesn’t have any illnesses or anything like that – in fact, he’s completely immune to any cold-based illness!

5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?

Jack moves… normally, I guess. He isn’t particularly clumsy or graceful, nor is he tense. I guess the best way to describe it is fluid, then? He’s kind of casual with his movements, actually. When he’s fighting someone, Jack tenses up completely in preparation for the battle.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?

Jack is a pretty attractive guy, to most people. Just ask the god-awful tumblr fandom. Jack, being stuck with the mindset of a teenager, kind of knows that he’s good looking. This isn’t really a vanity or arrogance thing though, since he isn’t vain or arrogant. He just kinda knows that he’s good looking.

7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?

Jack has very light skin. As a result of becoming Jack Frost, he gained an appearance fitting the name. His skin became much paler than a normal person’s. Because his appearance can’t change, there’s no way he’s ever getting a tan. Sux 4 u.

8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.

Jack’s formerly brown hair became white in his transformation into Jack Frost. Oddly enough, his eyebrows stayed brown instead of turning white. His hair is spiked up and messy from lack of combing or brushing. His hair texture doesn’t matter. NEXT QUESTION.

9. What color are his eyes?

Jack’s eyes are bright blue.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?

Besides the whole pale frost elf thing? Nope!

11. What are his chief tension centers?

His shoulders and back.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?

Jack dresses pretty laid back. He used to wear a Viking-style fur cloak and tan shirt with brown pants, but that’s pretty much all changed besides the pants. Nowadays he wears a blue hoodie and the same brown pants. Because of the natural cold aura he has, Jack’s clothes gain a thin layer of frost when he puts them on. When Jack is particularly emotional about something he’ll put up his hood.

13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?

Jack is definitely comfortable in his clothes. He’s been wearing them for a looong time now, so he kind of has to be comfortable in them. He was probably uncomfortable in his pre-Jack Frost clothes, since he changed his cloak and shirt to a hoodie. One thing that Jack will never be comfortable wearing is shoes. He hates shoes.

14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?

He dresses the same at all times since he’s always on the job.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?

Wouldn’t you like to know, Tumblr Fangirl?



Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?

Because he’s been around for like… hundreds of years, Jack’s voice has aged beyond his body. So his voice sounds like someone in their late twenties as opposed to an actual teenage voice. His voice’s aging has stopped a long time ago, so it will age no more.

2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?

Jack is pretty talkative. He definitely doesn’t shy away from talking to people, especially if it means giving some snarky comment to someone he doesn’t like. He talks at a normal rate but he talks quickly if he’s excited about something.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?

No accent or anything, but his voice is more mature than it should be.

4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?

He speaks English with fluency. He might know some other languages from traveling around, but his main language is definitely English.

5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?

Nope!

6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?

He’s a pretty good impromptu speaker. He’s especially good at making up snarky comments on the spot when he needs to.

7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?

Neither one really fits him. He’s somewhere in the middle.



Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?

He’s definitely more street-smart than book-smart. In fact, when it comes to book-smart stuff he’s kinda… dumb. Sure, he can tell you some basic math and stuff like that, but being from a time long ago has left him without book-smarts.

2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?

He thinks on his feet all the time. He’s definitely the type to just charge into something rather than thinking it through. This has been a little bit helped by what happened with Pitch and his memories, but it’s really not completely fixed.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?

Kinda hard to say. Jack is kind of idealistic, having hoped every day that the Man in the Moon would tell him what to do or that people who spontaneously believe in him. He isn’t really logical or intuitive, really. He kind of has his own unique thought process.

4. What kind of education has the character had?

Very basic, medieval times education. He thinks school is dumb, so he’ll never go to it. In fact, he prefers helping kids get out of school with a nice snow day.

5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?

Jack is great with his winter abilities. Really, you couldn’t ask for a better person to bring winter to everyone. Besides that, he’s a good fighter, using his abilities to defeat his enemies. He’d really like to learn more about actually living like a person now that people can see him. He’s absolutely terrified that he’ll never get the chance to have a home again even though people can see him now.

6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert?

Jack is an extrovert. Now that people can see him he’s having so much fun meeting people and actually making friends –something that he could never do before being seen. So when he’s not bringing winter, Jack is doing whatever he can to meet new people.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?

Despite three hundred years of being unseen, Jack remains a pretty cheerful guy – Especially since people can see him now. It’s kind of a dream come true for him, really. He’s also really laid back, even after joining the Guardians. He’s still snowballs and fun times.

8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?

OH GOD. Jack absolutely loves meeting new people. Really, he’s someone who couldn’t even meet anyone new for the past three hundred years. Now that he can he is so enthusiastic about it it’s unbelievable.

9. Is he more likely to act, or to react?

React, without the proper motivation. When the Sandman died he pretty much brooded for a long time until North managed to get him right back on his feet and ready to act.

10. Which is his default: fight or flight?

Fight.

11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?

Jack is like… the biggest prankster ever. He has a great sense of humor, especially when it comes to harmless pranks. He’d much rather throw a snowball at someone that actually tell a joke. This can be kind of offputting to people, but he doesn’t really realize that.

12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them?

Nope!

13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person?

Definitely when he saved his sister’s life. It’s the reason that the Man in the Moon choose him to be a Guardian and showed that underneath all his pranks and fun, Jack is a really brave person. Also when he regained his memories and went off to fight Pitch again, proving his bravery once again. When he learned about his center being ‘Joy’ was another one.

14. What does he fear?

Being unseen again is his greatest fear. He never wants anyone to just walk right through him ever again, since those first few years without being noticed were kind of the most terrifying years of his life. He was completely alone with the only help being people who took him for an immature kid who didn’t know how to handle himself. The only real friend he had was North and they didn’t really talk too much. He’s absolutely terrified of having to live like that again.

15. What are his hopes or aspirations?

He just wants to keep doing what he’s doing, really. He also kind of wants to prove himself more to the Guardians and beat Pitch again.

16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?

His fears. Pitch knowing them was bad enough. Someone else knowing them could allow them to find some way to make him invisible again.



Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents.

He loved his parents in his life. They had a great relationship before his death.

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?

Jack absolutely adored his sister, really. He might have played some pranks on her and all that, but he loved her more than anything in the world. When he got his memories back, the first thing that hit him was that there was no way for him to see her again. It was kind of devastating, really.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?

Nope!

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?

He kind of considers the Guardians his family. They might be… dysfunctional, to put it lightly, but they’re all friends and the closest thing he even has to an actual family.

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?

His best friend is probably Nicholas St. North. They met when Jack was traveling around the world trying to figure out what had even happened to him after becoming Jack Frost. He made his way to the North Pole and that’s where they met.

6. Does he have other close friends?

The Guardians and Jamie, the first person to really believe in him.

7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?

If you can put up with a few snowballs, Jack is good at making friends and he’s a great friend to have.

8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?

Friends, since he really doesn’t have any real family anymore.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once?

He’s single and it’s probably going to stay that way.

Sex isn’t at all important to him.

17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?

Tumblr fandom, stop writing these questions. NONE.



Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type?

He’s a Pisces, since that begins riiiight after Winter starts. I have no idea how well he fits the type since I’m too lazy to look things up.

2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life?

He’s neither, really. He just doesn’t care too much about that kind of thing. He actually doesn’t classify himself as anything in that regard since he’s never really given it any thought. He’s likely not to give it thought in the future.

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?

-I gave up on making this a serious post halfway through-

[Oswin Oswald]

Body and Appearance

1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Only reaching about 5'2", Oswin is by not means imposing. She's small and shorter than average so most, if not all, people she's met have managed to be at least a good couple of inches taller than she is. But, apart from that, she managed to cut a nice figure nevertheless. For her height, her legs are long, and her weight is average enough to give her a slender build.

2. How old is she?

Nineteen

3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch?

Oswin carries herself with as much confidence as it's possible to carry oneself with. She's by no means a shy or withdrawn person, and that even comes on in the way that she holds herself. Around other people that she knows, she's a little more relaxed, but there's still definite confidence there. Short she might be, but no one is mistaking that as a sign that they can walk all over Oswin.

4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?

Oddly enough, Oswin's immune system isn't the best thing in the world. After being on the ALASKA for however long, as well as being locked up and transformed, she's still building back her immune system. So, once winter's in full swing, she'll probably come down with a bad cold or two.

And, needless to say, she's actually in pretty decent shape. Running's in her job description after all.

5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?

Oswin's way of moving isn't too remarkable. As said, she carries herself with confidence and probably has a good deal of grace while doing so, but it really isn't something that people actually notice. She's certainly not clumsy, she'd probably be out of a companion job if she was, and her motions are pretty fluid, but again. Not really something that people stop and go 'whoa she's graceful!'

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror?

Well. Oswin doesn't describe herself as sexy because she doesn't think she isn't. There are no self-confidence issues with this girl, she freely describes herself as gorgeous, and not without reason. She might be small and short, but Oswin is pretty good-looking, if she does say so herself. Her body is proportianate to her height, and nothing about her really looks awkwardly big or small.

7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?

One would expect Oswin's complexion to be quite pale after being stuck inside for a year, but the truth of the matter is, it wasn't really her human body that was stuck, was it? As such, she hasn't really been physically effected much by her time in the asylum. Her skin is naturally light, but not quite pale, especially now that she's been travelling around and that requires a certain amount of time spent outdoors and running around.

And, she's never shown or told anyone about it, but when she fell through the rift, her Dalek body had been injured. It translated onto her human body in a burn scar right between her shoulder blades.

8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style.

Oswin's hair falls just a bit past her shoulders, where it curls at the end. Normally, she just keeps it down, but if she's baking or just wants to keep it out of her face, she'll tie it back in a ponytail.

9. What color are her eyes?

Brown.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?

Nope.

11. What are her chief tension centers?

When she's stressed, Oswin tends to fidget rather than tense, but when she's angry her fists will clench and her jaw will set. Her jaw is actually a pretty big one, alone with her shoulders. She pulls them back in order to feel and appear more confident and fearless.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit?

Oswin has a pretty eclectic wardrobe, seeing as the TARDIS provides her with every article of clothing that she could ever want or need. Her daily outfit depends all on how she's feeling that particular day, and she certainly shy about dressing the way she wants to. Because clearly, anything she wears, she will look fabulous in.

13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them?

Well, since the TARDIS has pretty much everything in her size, yes. Oswin is most definitely comfortable in the clothes that she chooses for herself.

14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences?

No difference. Oswin wears the same thing while companioning that she does in her free time.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?

Bit rude to ask, isn't it~?


Speech

1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?

Oswin's voice is somewhat high-pitched, but hardly in an irritating way. Or well, it is when she's cheerful and happy. When she's less than that, her voice lowers slightly and it becomes just...less.

2. How does she normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does she talk easily, or does she hesitate?

Being a chatty little thing, Oswin's quite a fast talker, especially when talk turns to something she's knowledgable in. With her poor communication skills, you'd expect her to be a little more withdrawn, but Oswin is actually quite good at chattering away about everything but what's bothering her, when something is.

She actually likes people and likes talking to them, and if nothing's weighing heavily on her mind at the moment, she'll gladly engage in conversation with pretty much everyone.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?

Since she is, indeed, British, Oswin has a British accent. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure what dialect of British accent she has.

4. What language/s does she speak, and with how much fluency?

Just English, but the gift of the TARDIS allows Oswin to speak and understand whatever language people or aliens speak in her presence.

5. Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations?

Nope.

6. Is she a good impromptu speaker, or does she have to think about her words?

Oswin is definitely an 'act first, talk later' kind of girl, so it's not very often that she thinks about what she's saying too hard. That and she's awful at actually communicating emotions, especially when she's actually thinking about it.

7. Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?

Um, sort of both? When she gets going, you might have to ask her to pause so you can take a breath, does that count?


Mental and Emotional

1. How intelligent is this character? Is she book-smart or street-smart?

Um, hello, does genius mean anything to you? Oswin is exceedingly intelligent, especially in the subject of computers and technology. And she is not afraid at all to flaunt it. So, I guess you could sort of call her book smart, even though most of her knowledge was self-taught.
2. Does she think on her feet, or does she need time to deliberate?

Being a companion sort of requires the ability to think on her feet, and since it's been a few months now, if Oswin was deliberate before, she sure as hell isn't now.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is she more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?

If she's worked up, Oswin relies heavily on her emotions, which is sort of the reason she charged Loki like a goddamn bull when she thought he had Amy and Rory captured. When she's calm and level-headed, she can be logical, but under stress, she tends to be impulsive to the extreme.

4. What kind of education has the character had?

Oswin's education is rather basic. Her family was middle-class, and she wasn't really the best in school, due to her inability to sit still for more than five minutes. She was always far, far ahead from her classmates, and school was really just boring and pointless to her.

5. What are her areas of expertise? What, if anything, is she interested in learning more about?

Well. Computers are first and foremost the thing that Oswin knows most about. Coding and hacking come naturally to her by this point, and even before that was enhanced by the Dalek conversion, she was still extremely good at it.

Machines come second, and Oswin isn't afraid at all of getting her hands dirty to tinker with something. She loves it, actually, especially that moment when whatever was broken starts working again. Really, Oswin is just an expert in all things mechanical, and has a great fondness for all of it.

She's also quite a good cook, especially baking. Everything except souffles. Believe me, she's tried. But apart from that, Oswin can definitely hold her own in the kitchen. Most of the cooking on the TARDIS is done by her, after all, and she's been known to make good use of the cougar, bear and wolverine meat provided by Garchomp. She actually makes it taste good too.

As for learning more? Oswin is totally open to everything. Traveling has done that to her, and made her even more curious. She's learning horseback riding from Regina, and pretty much everything ever from traveling. Fun times.

6. Is she an introvert or an extrovert?

Extrovert, definitely. Oswin is a people person, even if she isn't too good with communicating. She still likes to surround herself with people she likes and can open up to with a relative amount of ease.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is she even-tempered or does she have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?

Generally, Oswin is a cheerful and optimistic person, on the outside, at least. And unless something's truly troubling her, on the inside too. She has a bad habit of using her cheer to try and cover up any negative emotion, especially around other people. And dear lord, is she driven. If Oswin Oswald wants something, then goddamn it, she's going to get it.

8. How does she respond to new people or situations? Is she suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?

New situations? Enthusiastic. Oswin's love for the new and different was what drove her to want to see the universe in the first place, and traveling has only helped that. She thrives on exploration and curiosity, and there isn't much of that unless she goes somewhere new.

New people? Not so much. While she's generally cheerful and friendly to people, Oswin tends to hold them at arms length until she's ready to really let them into her life. Even part of Team TARDIS, including Jack, doesn't know what truly happened to her before she was a companion. She doesn't like sharing that story with just anyone, and unless something happens to make her explain it, she keeps it hidden.

9. Is she more likely to act, or to react?

Act. Oswin is nothing if not an action kind of girl.

10. Which is her default: fight or flight?

Fight. Unfortunately, she can't fight, so at times, she's forced into fight.

11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does she appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?

Oswin has an...odd sense of humor to say the least. See, her way of skirting around the whole 'Dalek' thing with people she knows well enough is to joke about it, even though it's really not something to joke about. And that's basically her sense of humor summed up. She jokes about things that really shouldn't be joked about. There's also a snarky side too, and she's not above blatent sarcasm and quips.

12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does she deal with them?

Due to her previous experience, both being locked away and finding out she had been converted into a Dalek, Oswin has a mild form of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This mostly manifests in nightmares and the occasional jumpiness. Dealing with them, for Oswin, means pretending they don't exist. The only people she's ever really talked to about her nightmares is Regina and the Doctor, apart from that, she just bears it as much as she can and ignores it otherwise. Asking for help with anything isn't her thing at all, and this is no different.

13. What moments in this character's life have defined her as a person?

Hoo boy.

The Dalek conversion. Oswin doesn't bring specific memories of the conversion up for a reason. It was literally the most physically painful thing she's ever experienced, and those memories have been pushed far, far back and repressed. Even her nightmares only have brief flashbacks to it, and she's never relived them in full. To awaken them now might be a factor in driving Oswin insane.

Meeting the Eleven Doctor, obviously. He was the first contact she'd had in a year, the first voice she'd heard in so long. And he was going to save her. For that reason and that reason alone, he was and still is Oswin's hero, no matter what he might think of himself.

That moment when Eleven first saw her in the Asylum. As much as Oswin adores all three Doctors in her life, there's one moment that's forever ingrained in her mind, and that's it. Because in that moment, all the Doctor saw was a Dalek and no matter how human she is now, Oswin will never ever forget the hatred in his eyes. It's part of why she's so terrified of becoming a Dalek again, she knows that should that happen, the Doctor (any regeneration) would never look at her the same way again.

Sacrificing her life for the Doctor and his friends. The moment when Oswin knew that life as a Dalek would be nothing but half a true life, and that in saving the Doctor, she would save whole universes and worlds. She knew that there was no possible way for her to truly travel, not as a Dalek. And so, in her own way, she performed what she thought would be her only act as a companion and sacrificed herself for him and Rory Nina and Amy. Oswin will always be proud of that, her first act of heroism.

14. What does she fear?

As fearless as she likes to present herself as, Oswin actually has quite a few fears/phobias/what have you than she likes to let on. After being cooped up and alone for so long, Oswin has an acute case of claustrophobia and a definite fear of being trapped anywhere. Not even Earth or a single planet is big enough for her by this point, but the smaller the space, the worse her fear is and the shorter it will take for her to begin reacting. Basically, if there aren't any available exits, Oswin's going to start freaking out.

Oswin is also afraid of being left behind somehow, unable to travel or be close to the people that she's come to know and love. Losing them and losing her home on the TARDIS would be devastating, even if she does have friends outside of Team TARDIS. This also ties into her fear of being trapped, because if she doesn't have access to the TARDIS, she can't go anywhere. Actually, this fear is what prompted Oswin to find an old vortex manipulator onboard the TARDIS and fix it up. She currently wears it above her communicator on her wrist, and it's one of her prized possessions.

Daleks are kind of a given. More specifically, Oswin is afraid that soon, a time will come when Team TARDIS has to face the Daleks, and that she won't be strong or brave enough to be able to do so with them. She's afraid that they'll still want her genius, and will have found some way of fully converting her into a Dalek, with a Dalek way of thinking. And, above all, she's afraid that if that happens, she won't be able to find a way to stop herself from killing all the people that she cares about.

15. What are her hopes or aspirations?

Really, Oswin has reached all of her hopes and aspirations at the moment. She's traveling the stars, and even has friends to do it with to boot.

At present, Oswin really just wants to be the best companion she possibly can. She wants to find Amy for Eleven and make him happy, and more than anything, she just wants the Doctor's approval. She sort of has it without knowing it, seeing as she almost died protecting that TARDIS, but at the moment Oswin is sort of like a puppy who wants to please its master.

16. What is something she doesn't want anyone to find out about her?

The whole Dalek thing is something she wants to keep under wraps. Like I said, Eleven and Ten are the only members of Team TARDIS who know the full extent of what happened to her, and Oswin wants to keep it that way. Especially since she's not really looking for pity.


Relationships

1. Describe this character's relationship with her parents.

UM. We'll assume she had a good relationship with her mom? She did remember her birthday and everything while trapped in the Asylum, so it's pretty safe to assume that they got along well enough. No mention of a father, sooo. Yeah.

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?

No siblings.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom she is close? Are there ones she can't stand?

Nope.

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom she considers part of her family? What are her relationships with them?

Oh god, the whole of Team TARDIS.

We'll start with Ten. Dear. Freaking. God. Oswin loves Ten. In a platonic sense, but she adores everything that he is. Along with Eleven, he's her hero, the first person she met after exiting the rift, and the Time Lord who both took her along on his journeys and continued to do so after learning what had happened to her. It almost borders on unhealthy, but Oswin couldn't care less.

Her relationship with Eleven is basically her relationship with Ten, without the near-unhealthy tinge to it. She adores him just as much for just trying to save her, and really, all she wants to do now is make him happy, after learning what happened to the Ponds. In a way, her relationship with Eleven is even a little closer than the one she has with Ten, because she isn't clinging so tightly to him. He's also the one who's bed she sneaks into whenever she has nightmares, but shh.

The Doctor that she has the least close relationship with is Eight, but that hardly means that Oswin doesn't like him or think he's less than a part of her little family. She's no less distant with him, after all, and she definitely appreciates the fact that there's a Doctor that's a little more in control and able to keep his head in a...non-batshit insane way. Not that batshit insanity isn't fun, but there is such thing as too much of a good thing.

We'll talk about Oswin's relationship with Jack later, but let it be known that he's definitely on this list.

Rose. Ah, Rose. While their relationship was somewhat rocky at first, due to Oswin thinking and nearly accepting that Ten was going to leave her behind in favor of Rose, things healed up quickly. And Oswin was entirely grateful for a girl her age on the TARDIS that understood the whole thing about traveling and adventure and everything that she had ever wanted. And she's always fun to poke fun at because of her relationship with Ten, even though Oswin ships it hard. And she's sort of taken on the position of protecting Rose from harm in the ICC, even if Rose won't let her.

And, last but not least, there's Em. That fact that Oswin invited her to stay on the TARDIS and then let her continue to stay after she found out she was demonically possessed should be a big indicator of how Oswin feels about her. Em is pretty much her little sister by this point, and in her, she sees a lot of herself when she was a child. And really, the whole possessed thing just makes her more protective and driven to get that thing the hell out of her.

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?

REGINA FREAKIN' MILLS. No, seriously. The Evil Queen and the Doctor's companion are the two best friends that there ever, ever was, and no one can stop them. They are actually the best of bromances. Regina has seen Oswin at her weakest and most vulnerable, and after that, it's sort of natural that they're drawn together. She's one of the few people outside Ten and Eleven that are trusted with the story of what actually happened to her, and that's sort of a big thing for Oswin. She's also someone that Oswin actually tries to openly communicate with, and that's a pretty big deal too, since she is horrible at communicating her feelings to anyone.

6. Does she have other close friends?

Yup! Garchomp counts, definitely, and as part-time bodyguard. They've both revealed things that they don't usually tell people unless they trust them, Oswin's being the story of her past and Garchomp's being her name, Makya. She's also pretty close to Raidou, him being something of a big brother figure to her. Oswin rarely hesitates to listen to him unless something's really going wrong.

7. Does she make friends easily, or does she have trouble getting along with people?

On a superficial level, Oswin makes friends pretty quickly. She's bright and enthusiastic and generally a fun person to be around.

However, when it comes to actual, deep friendships...well. These things take time with Oswin. She's not the most open of people, and there's a lot that she keeps hidden underneath her exterior, and it takes a long time for her to be willing to really open up about that.

8. Which does she consider more important: family or friends?

Friends and family kind of blur together in her mind, so they're both just as important.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has she been married more than once?

Dating. Never been married.

10. Is she currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?

Yes, actually! Which is weird, seeing as Oswin never really had much interest in a romantic relationship. But, Captain Jack Harkness can change anyone's mind about that, can't he? Really, he's probably the best suited for her there is. He knows the Doctor and has traveled with him, he's familiar with alien worlds and alien tech and Oswin can pretty much just let him into this life of hers without any complications. And that's just the way she likes it.

And she really does like him. Not many people can keep up with her and her flirting and Jack does an excellent job of doing just that. It's just...weird for Oswin to like someone beyond just having a few drinks and a bit of fun, she's never really considered a romantic relationship like this. It's the whole communication thing again, and she knows that eventually, she'll have to tell Jack about her past and what really happened. And there's the whole thing about Jack being immortal and unable to die, so. Yeah.

11. Who was her first crush? Who is her latest?

Oswin's first crush was actually Nina. Not Rory Nina but actual Nina Nina. Unfortunately, Nina wasn't at all interested in Oswin, and after that, she didn't really do the whole crush thing until Jack came along. She did date on and off with a few people before the ALASKA incident, both males and females, but never really felt any kind of big connection to them.

12. What does she look for in a romantic partner?

Oswin just needs someone who can keep up with her, really. Deep down, she sort of needs someone sturdy and secure that she can latch onto with all of her fears and insecurities and be able to feel safe. But, that's not something she puts out in the open or is really aware of outside of her subconscious. As for things she actually acknowledges, Oswin's fond of people who can hold their own in a bit of verbal fencing. Anyone who falls apart under her wit is not going to be taken under consideration.

And, y'know. Someone who didn't flinch away from the Dalek thing or treat her any differently because of it, and who was willing to come along with the Doctor would be nice too.

13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does she relate to them? If no, does she want any?

She's nineteen, guys. God.

14. Does she have any rivals or enemies?

Um. Pitch, Hazama, Ayurale and anyone who opposes the Doctor, basically.

15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does she fall on the Kinsey scale?

Oswin is bisexual, and about a three on the scale. She's equally attracted to males and females, and just happened to be attracted to Jack before any attractive females came along.

16. How does she feel about sex? How important is it to her?

For Oswin, sex is sort of...a thing. It's enjoyable and she likes it, but it's not this big, sacred thing to her. It's just. A thing. Yeah.

17. What are her turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?

Wouldn't you like to know?


Beliefs

1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does she fit type?

Fiery, energetic and intelligent, Oswin is every bit an Aries. Associated with fire and energy, Aries women are said to love excitement and adventure, as well as be in possession of a hot temper. They have boundless energy for pretty much everything, and are the sort to grab every opportunity that comes their way and roll with it. They're also known for getting bored easily, and continually moving forward without stopping. And they're flirtatious, so. Yeah. Aries all the way.

The Chinese zodiac was a little harder, but I'm pretty sure Oswin fits best with the Horse. "Horse people are said to love travel. They are energetic, intelligent and ambitious. They can also impatient, hotheaded and egotistical. They have a great sense of humor and fall in love easily." Basically fits Oswin to a T, apart from the whole 'falling in love easily' thing.

2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in her life?

It's never touched upon in canon, but Oswin's sort of...indifferent to those kind of beliefs. She prefers things that she can touch and see to believing in something that she has no way of proving is real.

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?

Once she'd been traveling with Ten for some time, Oswin's moral code began to adapt to his. She helps people in trouble when she can, no matter who they might be, and is generally adverse to violence when it isn't being used to protect herself. Basically, if it's in his moral code, it's in Oswin's.

4. How does she regard beliefs that differ from hers? Is she tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?

She really could not care less, unless you're hurting people.

5. What prejudices does she hold? Are they irrational or does she have a good reason for them?

Because of her previous experience, Oswin is a little wary of anything robotic and sentient. But, once she's sure it's not going to try and, like, convert her or something, she'll let her guard down quickly enough.


Daily Life

1. What is the character's financial situation? Is she rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?

Well...I guess you could call her rich? I mean, the Doctor can get her unlimited credit on any planet at any time so. Yeah.

2. What is her social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected her?

She's a companion. That is her social status. Before the whole ALASKA incident, she was middle-class.

3. Where does she live? House, apartment, trailer? Is her home her castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does she share it with others?

At present, Oswin lives on the TARDIS full-time, as well as having a place at Torchwood to crash if she needs to. That one's not taken care of so well, but she keeps it neat enough just in case.

Her room on the TARDIS is pretty damn cool, though, if she does say so herself, with an enormous king-sized bed and a skylight right above it. And, while she doesn't share her room with others, besides occasionally Jack, she does share the TARDIS with Ten, Eleven, Eight, Rose and Em. And Raidou and Garchomp, if they're staying with them.

4. Besides the basic necessities, what does she spend her money on?

Um...nothing, really. The TARDIS provides her with what she needs.

5. What does she do for a living? Is she good at it? Does she enjoy it, or would she rather be doing something else?

Oswin's "job" right now is basically being a companion. And she wouldn't rather be doing anything else in the world.

6. What are her interests or hobbies? How does she spend her free time?

Well. When not saving worlds, traveling and hacking all the things you love, Oswin enjoys baking and cooking, especially since she's sort of the reason that Team TARDIS doesn't just go out to eat every night.

7. What are her eating habits? Does she skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?

And, as much as she likes to bake and cook, Oswin has a bad habit of skipping meals occasionally. Or, she did before Rose finally stepped in to take on the duty of being the person to go "okay oswin time to get off the computer and actually eat something." So, she's generally gotten better on that front. And she has a bit of a sweet tooth, because duh, why do you think she bakes sweets all the time?


Associations

[Garchomp]

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy? Garchomp's pretty large for one of her kind, and still growing - her species just slowly gets larger throughout their lives. Most of that size is lean and long, though, and she's not bulky - not that it detracts much from her strength.

2. How old is she? Fourteen years old, approximately.

3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch? Rather low-slung, though she'll straighten up to intimidate and rear back even more if she's challenging. Her natural stance and what she returns to during battle are kept low to the ground, so that she can dig and move with ease.

4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities? Garchomp is almost as fit as possible - she's still fairly young for a Pokemon, and her initial few years of life were hard enough. Training and battle honed her completely, and her travelling and hunting keep her in ideal physical condition. She doesn't suffer from anything and has thus far managed to come away from battle with only scars to show for it.

5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid? Constantly tense and aware of her surroundings. Garchomp doesn't move like a human might - no motion is wasted - and naturally she moves very quickly, in abrupt bursts of motion. Around humans she's learned to move a lot slower so as to not startle or hurt them, but when in a fight or provoked she'll naturally fall back into her normal way of moving.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror? By Garchomp standards, she's rather attractive, especially with those long spikes and notches in her fins. The epitome of alluring. She doesn't really bother too much with how she perceives herself, as it matches up pretty well with how she looks in reality.

7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred? Scales. Hahahaha.

8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style. Scales.

9. What color are her eyes? Gold irises and small pupils, with black sclera. They're deep-set and she can't move her eyes to look at something - she has to turn her whole head.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features? Some scars, some notches in her fins, big spikes and claws.

11. What are her chief tension centers? Back, neck, chest. She'll arch her neck in a threat display or when really tense.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit? Scales.

13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them? Scales.

14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences? scales

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando? COMMANDO ALL THE WAY



Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse? Rather deep, resonant, quite raspy. It doesn't sound feminine in the least and she generally has to tell people she's female - it's impossible to gauge from her voice.

2. How does she normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does she talk easily, or does she hesitate? Garchomp is perfectly capable of speaking properly. However, she regards grammar and pronouns and all that as somewhat unnecessary and unless there's a point she really needs to make, she just drops everything in favour of saying what she wants to as quickly as possible. As well, her way of speaking is guttural - she slurs words easily unless actively trying to speak clearly, and if emotional, there's a good chance her diction will fall prey to a hiss or growl. Speaking anything like a human is just complicated and difficult and she won't bother with it if she doesn't have to.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics? Growling, slurred words, very raspy at the best of times. She'll sometimes add in normal sounds whilst still speaking normally - "grraurgh" is an all-purpose thing she sticks in when she feels like it.

4. What language/s does she speak, and with how much fluency? Human/English??? and Pokemon speak.

5. Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations? All the time. She ditches English whenever it's proving too difficult to focus on.

6. Is she a good impromptu speaker, or does she have to think about her words? Hahahaha Garchomp eschews speaking often in general, but she does think carefully about what she has to say because it generally takes more effort.

7. Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change? Inarticulate as a whole, unless she's really trying. However, on some subjects when she's trying to make herself clear she can be quite eloquent about her ideas - if she doesn't get too impassioned and end up snarling and lunging to try to rip off someone's face.



Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is she book-smart or street-smart? Far more intelligent than she looks, but hardly a genius by any standards. She thinks like a Pokemon - rather brutal, practical and reflexive. She's street smart as a whole and wouldn't be inclined to theory in the least. She learns by doing - thus her training was always through sparring and repetition, as simply explaining how to do a manoeuvre or why it was useful would never sink in fully.

2. Does she think on her feet, or does she need time to deliberate? Very much on her feet - Garchomp is all about thinking quickly and reacting. It's one of her main strengths - she can quickly make a decision even in the heat of battle, and it's very difficult to knock her off guard or startle her into doing nothing.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is she more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical? Intuitive, by far. Logic isn't really a thing for her - she relies on emotions, gut feelings and instinct. She doesn't waste time on ideals, either, or... much of anything that's hypothetical. While she's happy enough to inquire about subjects, she quickly loses patience when theories are discussed. What matters to her is the reality she can experience, and anything else is just... irrelevant. She's not likely to go on flights of fancy, or even bother with worrying about the future. It makes her refreshingly grounded, but also quite shortsighted.

4. What kind of education has the character had? An education of BATTLE.

5. What are her areas of expertise? What, if anything, is she interested in learning more about? FIGHTING. She knows a lot about fighting - at least, in the Pokemon world - and is always up to learn more. She needs to get stronger, after all!

6. Is she an introvert or an extrovert? Somewhere in between. She's protective of her personal space but quite talkative and energetic around people she likes. She practically fawns over Oswin and is more than happy to chill in her personal space all the time, but if anyone else tried to even lay a hand on her and she didn't know them well enough, they'd get their faces ripped off. She doesn't exactly shun conversation, but she's quick to distance herself if it's becoming too complex or irrelevant for her.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is she even-tempered or does she have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven? Garchomp is rather terse at the best of times. She's not always alert or tense but she doesn't spend more time doing anything than is absolutely necessary. That includes relationships - she is of the opinion that bonds that are made should eventually be broken, so that those within them can move on and form new ones and continuously gain strength through that progress. It's not exactly a normal outlook, and though she clearly doesn't mind making allies and friends, she isn't going to shy away from eventually leaving them either. She's pragmatic about things coming to an end, and accepts the inevitable - but she's also fiercely loyal and willing to protect those she cares about.

Violent? Who's violent? Ahahaha she is. Raised with an inherent belief that she's strong - only increased by her training and victories - Garchomp loves to fight. She uses it to calm herself, and if she can't get a good fight she gets snappish and short-tempered, which is not a good trait to have on a dragon that can bite people's spines in half and summon meteors. When not agitating for a fight, she's still rather tense, and not exactly inclined to trust people when she meets them, but she can be laid-back, and even take a stab at a few jokes once she's comfortable. If you earn her enmity, though, she's not exactly inclined to stop holding a grudge, and she's nothing if not persistent, even after you slam her into a wall a few times. Power differences and immortality don't matter - if she doesn't at least try to put up a fight against an enemy, even if they're a god, then she can hardly respect herself.

She's not the smartest around and she knows it - she'll ask for help, especially when it comes to understanding something more complex - but she also doesn't really try to understand too much that's different from her own world. In her opinion, things are just simpler there - why bother to try to learn useless things about a completely different place?

She looks down on humans a little because she can kill one by tapping one basically, but she's also trained to at least try to be careful around them. That care might go flying out the window when startled but she tries and she hasn't sliced up a car in days leave her alone.

8. How does she respond to new people or situations? Is she suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic? Rather tense, and she'll often try to intimidate new people by going "GRAURGH" and pretending she can't talk. And then enjoying their shock when they discover she can. It's not the height of trolling but it's fun! She's quick to fall upon just... intimidating people or acting stupider than she is when around strangers or in a new place, just in case there's something around that she might not be able to deal with. Besides, talking is often unnecessary.

9. Is she more likely to act, or to react? Act! First to rush in, last to admit that yes, taking an ice boulder to the back probably means she should go lie down and let Oswin fuss over her.

10. Which is her default: fight or flight? I AM GOING TO RIP YOUR FACE OFF AND EAT IT.

Guess. No, really, guess.

11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does she appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks? Makya's humour is pretty straight forward - she occasionally veers into sarcasm but she doesn't have the emotional restraint for deadpan. She'll joke about basically anything, though, and sometimes not realize that most people won't be amused by a joke about her eating some puppies. She's fond of pranks and mild trolling, and appreciates her friends' superior wit.

12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does she deal with them? Nope.

13. What moments in this character's life have defined her as a person? Being left alone for the first time, trying to eat a human and thus meeting her trainer, BATTLEBATTLEBATTLE, leaving her trainer, and theeeen meeting the ICC haha.

14. What does she fear? Slow death. Old age, weakening, being crippled - anything that keeps her from what she was born to do, and leeches her strength. She panics a little when she's sick because she's not supposed to be so weak and tired and the thought of being seriously ill can genuinely frighten her.

15. What are her hopes or aspirations? Fight stuff, live??? She kind of doesn't have many goals beyond getting stronger and protecting herself and those she loves.

16. What is something she doesn't want anyone to find out about her? She actually is really fond of people most of the time? She really, really cares about people once she decides to protect them, and she doesn't really want that to be used against her. She also is homesick and occasionally misses training and battles and her team, though she thinks missing them weakens her.



Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with her parents. Non-existent. They laid an egg, it hatched, they fed her and protected her until she could hunt for herself and then they left.

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like? hahahano.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom she is close? Are there ones she can't stand? See above.

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom she considers part of her family? What are her relationships with them? Basically just Oswin so see below.

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet? OHAI OSWIN. This relationship... I don't even know where to start because it was just Garchomp going "ohai guys, let me get back to my own world please" but then somehow they got along and then suddenly Garchomp decided she liked Oswin and then it went to being her bodyguard. They're pretty close - Oswin's one of the few who know Garchomp's actual name - and she knows Oswin's past in turn. She's gotten hurt a lot protecting her, but she considers that just part of what she... does. She's also taken Oswin flying and generally treats her as something like a best friend and a sister and a FRAGILE FLOWER that must be protected!!! Except she likes to tease her about that last bit and generally isn't toooooo overprotective.

Oswin should totally turn into a dragon, though. So they can fly and kill stuff together.

6. Does she have other close friends? A few! Raidou and Regina, really, though she also likes Mituna a lot. In general people who have shown themselves willing to fight beside her or who care about her when she gets into fights.

7. Does she make friends easily, or does she have trouble getting along with people? In general she makes friends easily, once they get over having a talking dragon thing snarl at them and joke about eating some kittens so they're not a bother to everyone else.

8. Which does she consider more important: family or friends? Hahahaha friends, what is family??? She has no bonds to relatives, so.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has she been married more than once? Single, but that would change if Raidou would accept those damn courtship heads.

10. Is she currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse? RAIDOU

11. Who was her first crush? Who is her latest? RAIDOU

12. What does she look for in a romantic partner? RAIDOU except more spiky and with wings and some nice dorsal fins

13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does she relate to them? If no, does she want any? NOT YET

14. Does she have any rivals or enemies? hahaha Loki, Pitch, Hazama, Cora - basically anyone who's shown ill will to her or to her friends.

15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does she fall on the Kinsey scale? uh I don't even know because I never really thought about it. Uh. whatever sexuality here pansexual or something

16. How does she feel about sex? How important is it to her? Mating should be done after a proper courtship ritual, but the severed heads are waaaaay more important.

17. What are her turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits? NOTDISCUSSINGTHIS



Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does she fit type? Very much an Aries - Garchomp is independent and impulsive, quick to act and rather self-centred. She has a dynamic personality for a Pokemon, though her own reticence about talking stifles that a little, and she's aggressive, with insecurities about her own failings - especially when it comes to fighting, since she takes defeats quite hard.

As for the Chinese zodiac, what could she be other than a dragon? Which, fittingly enough, suits her. Dragons are arrogant, overconfident and sometimes not in control of their moods. They hate to be used, are ambitious and lively, with the ability to withstand failure.

2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in her life? Garchomp has an odd belief system - she knows gods exist, of course, because legendaries were a thing in her world to begin with, but she doesn't need to believe in them. They exist either way, and the thing humans focus on - gods ruling or judging those beneath them - just seems weird and unnecessary to her. She shows respect to them but also would be up for fighting them, if any were willing to show up for that purpose.

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it? Don't kill stuff by accident, because that means you're not in control of your actions, and that's bad. She learned that during training and it's rather difficult to get her to simply... lash out at anything and everything, though if she got riled up enough, it's definitely possible.

4. How does she regard beliefs that differ from hers? Is she tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent? Indifferent - what you believe in is strange and ultimately doesn't matter to her. She might be curious for a few minutes but she loses that curiosity quickly because religion is booooring let's go fight stuff.

5. What prejudices does she hold? Are they irrational or does she have a good reason for them? Souls are weird, dead things are weird and she's inclined to be more suspicious of/aggressive towards things that seem absolutely wrong to her, like zombies and creepy black sludge things, but it's unfamiliarity and instinct as much as genuine dislike.



Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is she rich, poor, comfortable, in debt? She kills and eats bears.

2. What is her social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected her? And glides freely through the land, leaving sandstorms and severed heads in her wake.

3. Where does she live? House, apartment, trailer? Is her home her castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does she share it with others? Random caves, holes she digs herself, the TARDIS... Her room in the TARDIS looks pretty trashed because she often drags in some bones to gnaw on and when she adopted it as her own, she dumped a sandstorm's worth of sand into it so she could wallow properly - but she made sure to dig out and remove any furniture first! She occasionally goes out on excursions and brings back rocks to stick into the sand so maybe it'll turn into a Zen garden eventually.

4. Besides the basic necessities, what does she spend her money on? what's money

5. What does she do for a living? Is she good at it? Does she enjoy it, or would she rather be doing something else? SHE EATS PEOPLE'S FACES why would she not enjoy it

6. What are her interests or hobbies? How does she spend her free time? Fighting! Hunting! Teasing Oswin, jumping off mountains and flying, basking in the sun, bathing in sand.

7. What are her eating habits? Does she skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods? HUNTING. Garchomp can't really abide cooked or processed food, so she hunts all the time. She's capable of gorging and not having to eat for a few days afterwards, and her diet is... pretty simple. Anything she can bring down she eats, so it's mostly raw meat, though she's fond of some kinds of fish - Milotic is delicious guys you have no idea - and she indulges in the Pokemon habit of nomming Berries ever so often. She likes sweet and spicy Berries.

3. Time of day? Noon

6. Music? Cynthia's battle theme

[Sparda]

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy? Sparda stands at a shade under six feet, of a quite average build that speaks nothing of his superhuman physicality - at least, in his human disguise. His true form is a few inches taller, built of lean muscle and chitinous armour.

2. How old is he? Canonically, no one knows. But I've developed a personal historical headcanon along with a long-time rp buddy (which will require a reapp, need to get on that) - which makes him over 9000 years old. Pun most definitely intended.

3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch? Sparda, like all gentlemen of worth, stands tall. He carries himself with a certain consciousness of his stature, and an air of both fatherly wisdom and steely authority.

4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities? lol demon His body somehow maintains itself at the peak of his already ungodly strength and physicality, and eliminates toxins and diseases with incredible efficiency. His endurance seems almost limitless; it would take hours of the most intense, high-speed combat imaginable to tire him out.

5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid? Just as he stands tall and proud, Sparda moves with a measured grace. Each footstep seems calculated and purposeful; and in combat, his immense speed is handled with equally incredible agility.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror? If he cared for such things, he would probably be the object of much female fancy. He grooms himself as a matter of personal taste and pride more than anything, and cuts a very dashing figure.

7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred? Fair, free of scars and blemishes.

8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style. His sons have inherited his pure white hair, which he keeps neatly slicked back. Naturally, it hangs flat, his fringe growing to halfway over his eyes.

9. What color are his eyes? A bright, piercing blue.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features? On rare occasions, the observant will notice his eyes flashing with a deep pulse of violet light. This is sometimes a scare tactic, but is mostly a sign of the imminent release of a level of power that's highly likely to kill you stone dead with extreme fucking prejudice.

11. What are his chief tension centers? Neck and shoulders.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit? SO MUCH VELVET YOU HAVE NO IDEA Purple. Lots of it. Sparda clads himself in enviable finery, all velvet and silk. The plainest you'll ever see is the white shirt that lies beneath his waistcoat and jacket.

13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them? Very much so. He moves with a great deal of fluidity in a suit that would on anyone else look quite unwieldy; it certainly doesn't look as easy to fight in as he manages to pass it off. In fact, it's just plain abnormal; it's been observed repairing itself along with his wounds as he heals.

14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences? He very much does. The only common variation is the occasional absence of his jacket, which is usually hung up nearby anyway.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando? Boxers, of course. Much more comfortable and mobile.



Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse? A sort of calming soprano at most times, but with the potential for dark, frightening monologue and laughter - something like this.

2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate? Usually with a measured eloquence, but he is not above threats that drip with contempt for his foes.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics? Nope.

4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency? English, with total fluency.

5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations? Nope.

6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words? He's equally skilled in both, boasting great oratory.

7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change? ELOQUENT? THIS MAN DEFINES ELOQUENT.



Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart? A little of both. He's certainly very wise and intellectual, but knows how to handle himself in the roughest of environments.

2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate? Exceptionally skilled at both. In battle, in particular, he can be very good at analysing his opponent on the fly to evaluate their strengths and capitalise on their weaknesses, as well as maintaining an awareness of the battlefield that lets him turn it to his advantage.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical? His ideals as a protector of humanity are constantly on his mind. He is at once compassionate and vigilant, with a measure of sympathy for humans with regard to their short, transient lives. That said, he can be incredibly cold and analytical when he needs to be, and knows how to dull his emotional judgements to keep himself objective when it counts.

4. What kind of education has the character had? Nothing formal, that's for sure. He has lived his whole life fighting one great war, from one side to the other.

5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about? The man is a god of war, quite simply. As a swordsman and battle tactician, he is almost completely unmatched, and commands a frighteningly accurate shot with firearms. On top of that sits an exhaustive knowledge of demonic lore and magics.

6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert? A most definite extrovert, but not averse to solitary brooding when necessary.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven? Sparda is very level-headed most days. He is slow to anger, but it sits upon a set of hair triggers - most notably dangers to his friends and lost family. To threaten his sons after he finally reunites with them will be to sign your death warrant in triplicate.

8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic? He is as objective as he must be, adjusting quickly and with a detached curiosity. Few things faze him.

9. Is he more likely to act, or to react? Probably to act, but usually only on information that facilitates it.

10. Which is his default: fight or flight? Fight. He will always raise a blade when he feels he must, but he knows when to back off and prioritise the safety of allies and innocents.

11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks? Sadly, Sparda rarely finds occasion for humour. His particular sense takes the form of occasional, unexpected observational quips.

12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them? Nope.

13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person? Meeting Eva, of course. Her influence on him, without a doubt, saved humanity; without her, he would never have had cause to turn on Mundus and take up his sword for the humans.

14. What does he fear? Two things, and two things only; failing to protect humanity from a threat on Mundus' scale, and the disapproval/loss of his sons, his only remaining family.

15. What are his hopes or aspirations? Aside from the great unattainable of final peace? To find and reconcile with his twin sons. The poor man totally fails as a father would love nothing better than to have them in his life after so long.

16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him? Hmm... Nope, no skeletons in this fine closet.



Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents. He has no parents - he just was.

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like? Newp.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand? LOLDANTEANDVERGIL He wishes, let's be quite honest.

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them? None, actually.

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet? Don't think he has a best friend ;_;

6. Does he have other close friends? None to speak of; the closest estimate would be his old apprentices, Baul and Modeus.

7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people? He's very friendly. Pretty cool guy, to be honest, in spite of the whole killing-demons-for-a-living thing.

8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends? Family. As stated, he wishes to reunite with his sons.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once? He's a widower. T_T

10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse? Nope.

11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest? Eva was his first and last.

12. What does he look for in a romantic partner? It'll probably be a cold day in hell before this question becomes applicable. It's not completely unthinkable, though...

13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any? DANTE AND VERGIL GOD HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW THIS Oh good lord, Dante and Vergil. ;_; How he wishes he had been there for them.

14. Does he have any rivals or enemies? Oh, not many, just the entire demon world back home.

15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale? Heterosexual.

16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him? loldidyoujustaskthatquestion

17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits? arewereallygoingtherereally



Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type? N/A

2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life? Not at all. I suppose you could call him a humanist; atheist doesn't really fit, given how he was basically created by God and served at the Devil's right hand lolthisheadcanonisinsane...

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it? PROTECT THE HOOMANS. It's his duty and life, but he's not so naive as to fail to understand that some humans can be as evil as any demon.

4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent? Indifferent, mostly. Human ideologies are something of a curiosity to him, unless he has reason to oppose actions based on them.

5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them? None to speak of.



Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt? He gets by as a demon hunter. Money never seemed to be a problem.

2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him? Could you really call him upper-class? He has the demeanour for it, but he definitely has to work for his bread and butter nowadays.

3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others? Most recently, a modestly furnished, well-kept apartment in London, not too far away from the Hellsing manor.

4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on? lolwhoknows?

5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else? GREATEST DEMON HUNTER THERE EVER WAS. Seriously. Hellsing and Iscariot combined wouldn't be as good at what he does as he is were it not for Alucard.

6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time? He reads. An awful lot, actually. And he has a taste for classical music.

7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods? He has rather a plain palate. Well-cooked red meats, potato-based dishes, the occasional pasta...

[Morgana Pendragon]

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Morgana's 5'5. So she's not short, but she's not tall either - just sort of a good, average height. She is very slender, though, especially at the waist.

2. How old is she?
She's twenty-four years old, though she likes to maintain the maturity of someone much older - but sometimes, especially around her friends, her youth does slip through.

3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch?
She carries herself with perfect posture, as is only to be expected of a proper lady. But yes, she's very outwardly confident. Held held high, back straight, shoulders relaxed but not slouching.

4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Morgana's pretty healthy. She eats well (and besides, junk food...is still kind of a mystery to her), and she's always kept herself fit and in-shape - she practices both sword and hand-to-hand combat on a regular basis.

5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Somewhat fluid and graceful under normal circumstances, even when she's fighting - her movements always seem somewhat light and effortless. As a result, though, it's very noticeable when she's tense, because it's an extreme contrast to how she usually holds herself.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror?
In Camelot, Morgana was known for her beauty. She really is, I would think by most people's standards, quite beautiful - elegant features, long dark hair, pale skin, brilliantly green eyes. Her eyes are probably her most intense feature. And she's a bit vain when she comes to her looks - she won't flaunt them in other people's face, but she's aware of them, and will often huff a bit if she's criticized.

7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Very pale. But clear.

8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style.
Her hair is dark, dark brown - almost black. It's glossy, smooth, and wavy in contrast to evil!morgana and her tendency to look as though she's just been electrocuted and very thick - it sometimes becomes a bit unmanageable because it's so thick that's why her hair is so big, it's full of secrets. It's long and naturally wavy, and she typically wears it down, or pulls part of it back out of her face when it's practical.

9. What color are her eyes?
A brilliant, strikingly deep green. Legit, her eyes are intense - which almost makes things a bit uncomfortable at times, because it often makes her appear to be staring a little more intensely than she actually is? Which does come in handy for ~DEATH GLARING~ but, you know. Oh, and when she uses magic, her eyes turn a cat-like golden color.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Not particularly?

11. What are her chief tension centers?
Back, shoulders, arms - she holds them stiffly at her sides and tends to clench her fists - and her jaw, which she has a habit of clenching.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit?
It's noticeably...medieval. Long dresses, corsets, cloaks. That sort of thing. She's not one for overly elaborate, poofy princess gowns, though - her dresses are usually more light and flow-y. She likes to wear green, because it accentuates her eyes - but otherwise, blacks or greys or whites, with the occasional bold red thrown in, are favorites of hers.

13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them?
As comfortable as one can be in a dress and corset? It's nothing she's not used to, though, and like I mentioned she holds herself very confidently at all times. Modern clothing, when she wears it, makes her a tad more uncomfortable. The worst is when she has to wear something like a skirt, or shorts. Low-cut, revealing tops she can deal with, but showing a lot of leg is just sort of a bewildering concept for her.

14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences?
Her 'job' is some shady sorceress magic-dealing, so the whole medieval wardrobe thing actually usually helps. But um. In her free time, it depends on where she is and what she's doing. As stated previously, she's still a bit iffy about modern clothing, but she's now taken to wearing it in public, crowded places so as not to stick out.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
so anyway hows ur sex lyfe :]



Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
i mean you can just listen to her if you want. here have a morgana-kind-of-gushing-about-magic-a-little-bit scene

2. How does she normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does she talk easily, or does she hesitate?
She's typically pretty soft-spoken, especially nowadays. That can change, though, if you irritate her enough. Formerly, she spoke very easily, and always had a quick, saucy retort for something or another - but now she's developed a habit of sort of...hesitating a bit more than she used to. People typically assume it's due to her three-year isolation, but it's more that she's become more careful and calculating - and also that she likes to give people the impression that she's more hesitant and uncertain than she actually is.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
An English accent that is pretty clearly not modern. Her actress is actually Irish though? Which sometimes slips into her character voice a bit, which makes her accent even more distinct, which is kinda cool.

4. What language/s does she speak, and with how much fluency?
English, and the language of the Old Religion - used strictly for spell-casting.

5. Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
She switches languages when she's ~doing magic~.

6. Is she a good impromptu speaker, or does she have to think about her words?
It depends on the situation, and how sincere she's being. That's a big thing. When she's totally sincere, she sort of jumps right into things and speaks from her heart. When she's being manipulative, she likes to have a bit more time to think over what she's going to say first.

7. Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Fairly eloquent. She's always been sharp and quick-witted, and she's not the least bit shy - although sometimes quiet. She would have to be pretty angry to become inarticulate, I think - or just really emotional in general. One thing that does get her is when people are like, crazy loyal - and they show it. Because she sort of just automatically expects betrayal from most people, or at least an indifferent lack of devotion - so when you do something, and she's just struck kind of speechless, that's when you know you've won her over.


Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is she book-smart or street-smart?
Very intelligent. She's always been very clever, and a very quick learner - though in recent years she's become much more cunning than she ever was.

2. Does she think on her feet, or does she need time to deliberate?
She likes time to brood and plot and plan, but she can think on her feet if she has to - but she tends to be kind of...violent when she does? So um, duck for ever.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is she more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
It's really hard to tell with Morgana sometimes. She's more intuitive than anything, I think - she's a lot more emotional than she pretends to be, and her heart often wins out over her head. She used to be far more idealistic, but now she's more...I don't know if I'd say practical, but cynical, definitely.

4. What kind of education has the character had?
Probably the highest sort Camelot had to offer, being the king's ward - so she probably grew up with private tutors hired by Uther. ..Omfg, the tutors probably had to teach her AND Arthur at the same time. She was probably, like, the Hermione Granger to his...every other character in Harry Potter. Like, the tutor would ask a question, and Arthur would try to think about it, and Morgana just BLURTS OUT THE ANSWER. omfg I'm done.

5. What are her areas of expertise? What, if anything, is she interested in learning more about?
Well I'd say the most obvious is magic - and the ways of the Old Religion in general, and sometimes it really seems like she's a part of some sort of cult especially when she's like "oh yeah I'm going to become a High Priestess of the old religion" but, y'know. It's not as sinister as it sounds. She's an extremely skilled swords...woman I guess, too, having grown up learning the skill alongside Arthur.

I'd say what she's most interesting in learning more about, at the moment, is HOW THE FUCK MODERN THINGS WORK. She also wants to further her studies in magic, because again, High Priestess training.

6. Is she an introvert or an extrovert?
She's always been an extrovert, always been a people person. But again, she hasn't recently been around anyone other than her sister for three entire years. She's sort of forgotten how to handle large crowds, though she'll pretend not to be fazed by them. Also, she has severe trust issues now so um - being around people, especially strangers, has sort of lost its appeal.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is she even-tempered or does she have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
It's typically pretty difficult to provoke Morgana. I mean, she's not one to lose her cool in most situations. You can irritate her by insulting her pride, invading her personal space, or just being generally...irritating, but actually making her angry takes some work. And usually involves hurting someone she cares about - or, worst of all, betraying her trust. That being said, though, she's an intense person. She's incredibly driven and devoted to her goals, and she can be dark and somewhat brooding at times. Her anger, when provoked, is just crazy and very difficult to reason with. On the opposite end of the spectrum, however...if you really, fully earn her trust, she can be a total sweetheart. Like, seriously, you'd be surprised.

8. How does she respond to new people or situations? Is she suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
Extremely suspicious, though she doesn't often show it. Morgana is typically formal, polite, and on occasion even friendly - but she's borderline paranoid when it comes to new people, and it can take her a ridiculously long time to actually fully trust them. Also when meeting new people, one of the first things she does is take note of any weaknesses. Not because she necessarily has any intention of using them against the person in question, but because everyone is a potential enemy, as far as she's concerned. The fact that someone is not her enemy at the present moment doesn't mean they can't become an enemy later - and she likes to be well-prepared.

9. Is she more likely to act, or to react?
Act. She's not one to sit around and wait and make herself vulnerable when she has the chance to strike first. But, outside of anything aggressive, she has this thing she does where she kind of waits to...see a person's reaction to her, and the fact that she uses magic, and whether any discrimination is at all present, before she judges them. So in that respect, I suppose you could say 'react'/

10. Which is her default: fight or flight?
Fight. She despises cowards, and would never run or back down from a threat unless there was absolutely no other option.

11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does she appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
Morgana's actually kind of a...serious person. Unless she's decided to troll someone, in which case she just gets a bit ridiculous. Her sense of humor, when it shows itself, is sometimes a bit dark. And sarcastic. But despite herself, she often does find amusement in things like Arthur being a total dork, gossiping with Gwen, and particularly strange customs of the 21st century. Sometimes it's just kind of easy to forget that really, she's only in her early twenties - and if you can get her in the right mood, she can be sort of giggly.

12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does she deal with them?
There are no words for how fucking crazy Morgana is by the end of the show - but I've taken her from a much earlier point, when she hasn't been betrayed by absolutely everyone or been banished from Camelot or, you know, imprisoned in a dungeon and tortured for years under the threat that, if she attempted to escape, her freaking baby dragon would be killed. So. Y'know. She's pretty sane right now, in comparison, although I would call her more than a little paranoid.

13. What moments in this character's life have defined her as a person?
I think the moment that most defined her was when she decided to turn against Uther. For long before that, she despised the measures he took to rid the land of magic and those who used it, but eventually she just sort of snapped and went from hating what he was doing...to hating Uther himself, which most definitely paved the way for her descent into darkness and just sent her running right into Morgause's arms.

That moment of realization when Merlin poisoned her was also a pretty big thing for her, because he just completely shattered her trust. The way Morgana sees it, if the situation would have been reversed she would have valued their friendship enough to try reasoning with him before she even thought to attempt murder. But yeah, she hasn't quite been the same since then. It's sort of the root of the majority of her trust issues.

And finally, probably when she discovered that Uther was her biological father - and when he just completely rejected her and denied it in response. That rejection hurt more than Morgana thought it would, honestly - it doesn't feel very nice to know that someone is ashamed that you exist.

14. What does she fear?
Betrayal. That is a huge thing. She fears it from everyone, fears it so much that she's rarely willing to run the risk of trusting someone lest she have to endure the seemingly inevitable pain of having that trust betrayed. The more she cares about someone, the more she fears them turning on her - it really just makes most of her relationships unhealthy in at least some respect.

15. What are her hopes or aspirations?
To get back to Camelot, to overthrow Uther, and to ensure that those who use magic are never oppressed or discriminated against again - and she'll do whatever it takes to achieve that goal.

16. What is something she doesn't want anyone to find out about her?
That Uther is her father, I think. She's grown more comfortable about revealing her magic to people, so that's no longer something that's as much of an issue as it once was. But she doesn't want to be associated with Uther in any way...and then there's the fact that revealing this piece of information to anyone would lead to the inevitable question "why didn't he ever tell you?" and then that would lead to the inevitable answer "because he was ashamed of me" and ow, yeah, that hurts.



Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with her parents.
She never knew her mother - to this day, Vivienne's whereabouts are unknown. She was close with the man she believed to be her father, Gorlois, for the time that she knew him. After he died, however, she was taken in by Uther...who, while she did not know it at the time, was actually her real father. Her relationship with him has always been a little...rocky, and she's always been very defiant and has made it no secret that she does not agree with how he treats magic users. Still, though, there was a time when she did love him - but that love is gone now. Knowing that Uther would have her killed without question if her magic was revealed to him, knowing that he'd kept the truth about him being her father from her for so long, knowing everything he has done and all the ways he has made people suffer - it's left nothing but contempt and hatred in her heart.


2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
Arthur is her older half-brother through Uther. Morgause is her older half-sister through Vivienne. She's pretty close with both of them, though the relationships are vastly different. With Arthur, not only is he still unaware that they're siblings, but they also tend to be very competitive and prone to bickering - but even through that, they're very good at being friends. Her relationship with Morgause is much more unhealthy and dependent. She kind of just completely looks up to Morgause, which is a badbadbad idea because dat bitch be evil. But, yknow, it's not like Morgana cares. All she cares about is the affection and acceptance Morgause showers her with.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom she is close? Are there ones she can't stand?
No other blood relatives, no.

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom she considers part of her family? What are her relationships with them?
I think Gwen's basically like a sister to her, as far as she's concerned. And Mordred's kind of like a little brother at this point.

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Guinevere, without a doubt. I've said this before, but I think they really do just balance each other out wonderfully. Gwen was Morgana's handmaiden back in Camelot, so that was how they met, but Morgana absolutely treats her as a friend and not a servant. Gwen's just typically so chill about everything that a part of Morgana could believe that she'd just be totally accepting if Morgana revealed she had magic - but still, she doesn't want to risk it. Apart from that, though, these two tell each other most everything else. They have a strong bond, and sometimes Morgana just has to stop and acknowledge that Gwen's probably the one keeping her sane because she's the most calm, steady, and understanding presence in her life.

6. Does she have other close friends?
Arthur. I mean, they've known each other for such a long time - apart from Gwen, he probably knows her better than anyone? And yeah, he can be an idiot sometimes, but after all they've been through together Morgana seems to be one of the few people able to confidently say they can handle him.

Oswin. It's really hard for Morgana to get, like, really buddy-buddy with someone, but Oswin's helped her out a lot and that's certainly not going to go unappreciated. And, from what she knows about Oswin's past, Morgana really admires her bravery and selflessness. So Morgana does actually seem to trust Oswin? Mostly. She still has a few reservations, but those'll probably fade in time?

Mordred, who Morgana just adores and constantly feels the need to look out for. She feels horrible that he had to suffer the way he did because of Uther's hatred, and has taken it upon herself to protect him - she gets about ten times warier of other people when Mordred's around, because omfg what if one of them tries to hurt him. She can also relate to him somewhat - and goes out of her way to make sure he knows she's there for him.

Eponine. I don't think Morgana ever really expected to become good friends with her, but then Eponine was keeping her secrets and sticking up for her when Morgana wasn't expecting her to and wow loyalty how does it work. She knows Eponine's life hasn't been exactly easy, and I think she really admires her strength through how much she's endured. Also, they both agree that modern things are confusing, and it's awesome.

Also I would count Garchomp? Morgana just kind of trusts her on the principle of her being a dragon, which...wow yeah good job Morgana, all dragons are so ~awesome and noble~. But I've stated before that Morgana just completely respects Garchomp - they don't have the emotional closeness that Morgana has with others, but they do make an AWESOME TEAM WHEN THEY'RE FIGHTING TOGETHER and that counts for a lot in Morgana's book.


7. Does she make friends easily, or does she have trouble getting along with people?
Noooot really. Morgana puts on a friendly enough act, but if you think you're friends, it doesn't necessarily mean she does. Her trust is not something that's easily won - being on good terms with her, and having her trust you are two entirely different things.

8. Which does she consider more important: family or friends?
Friends? I don't know, Uther's kind of made her a bit disdainful towards family. She never knew her mother, her adoptive father died when she was young, and Uther's a jerk, so. She's always had better relationships with her friends. Even Arthur, her half-brother, is a person she's grown up thinking of as more of a friend - she didn't even know they were related until recently. The one exception would probably be her sister, Morgause, who just...yeah, totally has Morgana wrapped around her finger. Because she was sort of the first (and at the time, only) person to accept Morgana for what she was, and Morgana doesn't seem to realize that Morgause is completely bad news, and it's just an all-around dangerous situation.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has she been married more than once?
Single.

10. Is she currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
NOPE.

11. Who was her first crush? Who is her latest?
merlin :]
guinevere :]
arthur :] no but they did actually flirt in the earlier seasons awk

One thing I really kind of find refreshing about Morgana is that she is something pretty rare on television these days: a strong, independent female character who doesn't actually have a love interest. I mean yeah, some people are like "oh she totally had feelings for Merlin in the earlier seasons", but you know what? Even if that was true, she certainly never acknowledged or acted on them, and has never acted as if having a relationship was particularly important to her. I think she just has far more important things to worry about.

12. What does she look for in a romantic partner?
She doesn't really go around looking to see who's eligible, and if she did she'd just be so ridiculously picky it wouldn't even be funny. I mean, first of all her trust issues would be a major obstacle in any sort of romantic relationship. So to get her attention - or even get her to fall for you - you'd have to be extremely loyal, and you'd have to prove that to her. You'd have to be clever, because she has a low tolerance for idiocy. Bravery is another trait Morgana really values - though not stupid, reckless bravery, but people who know how to display courage when it counts the most. Accepting her as a magic user - being able to accept anyone different from you, actually, is essential because it's something Morgana really pays attention to and judges people by. Being respectful and chivalrous and actually managing to make her smile and laugh are also gonna win major points, js.


13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does she relate to them? If no, does she want any?
Nope. She's somewhat maternal around Mordred, but I think she's more like an older sister to him than a mother? I don't think Morgana has any particular desire to have children at the moment. I think that, for her, would imply settling down, and she just has so many ambitions, so many things she wants to do, that she doesn't really see that in her cards right now.

14. Does she have any rivals or enemies?
NONE AT ALL :].

Actually, she hates Uther. Like, despises Uther. Like, she really, really wants him dead. She's now counting Merlin as an enemy as well, on the basis that he tried to kill her - she doesn't handle betrayal well. But at least there's a vague hope that she can be reasoned with where Merlin's concerned. With Uther? Yeah, not so much.

15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does she fall on the Kinsey scale?
well you know her and gwen deff have something goin' on ;].

Actually no, it's weird when people rabidly ship that even though I kind of ship Morgana with EVERYTHING. But as far as we know she's predominantly heterosexual? Yeah.

16. How does she feel about sex? How important is it to her?
It's...kind of a thing you don't do until you're married when you're medieval royalty. I think if someone from this time period just casually came up to her in a club or something and was like "hey wanna have sex with me" she'd be like "wHAT" and just...I don't know. That's something she'd never do casually - maybe in this time period she wouldn't be insistent on "NO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WE'RE MARRIED" but it's certainly not something she'd do unless she like...I don't know, really loved someone.

17. What are her turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
This is really such a weird question, so I like to treat it as a "what qualities do they find attractive" sort of thing. Um. So. Morgana's had to deal with flashy, brawny knights who've tried to court her with their ~IMPRESSIVE DISPLAYS OF STRENGTH~ and their dazzling smiles and muscles and blatant convictions that they're pretty much the most awesome things ever. So needless to say, she is really no longer impressed by that sort of thing. She kind of has this haughty quality to her personality that might lead one to assume she's a bit snobbish and shallow, so most people would find it very surprising to discover that she values personality traits far more than physical qualities.



Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does she fit type?
For Western, I think Capricorn suits her. Capricorns are reserved and suspicious of strangers, but are fiercely loyal and emotionally strong and often act as an "anchor" to their friends. They're also extremely determined, relentless, and ambitious - and I think these are all important defining traits, because Morgana is an intensely driven person. On the negative side of things, they are (sometimes unreasonably) distrusting, resentful, and even cold.

Chinese Zodiac? Maybe a Dog for all the value she places on loyalty, or a Dragon for her ferocity and charm.

2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in her life?
Very spiritual, and very devoted to the Old Religion, which the Great Dragon describes as "The magic of the Earth itself. It is the essence which binds all things together. It will last long beyond the time of men." The Old Religion consists of the ancient practices of magic users, and has been a subject Morgana has studied for three years now. It's lead by High Priests and Priestesses, immortal magic users bound to the Earth itself, humans who have become incredibly powerful, almost spirit-like entities who were said to even hold power over life and death itself. The fact that Morgana's devoted herself to becoming one should be enough to tell you how important this aspect of her life has become to her.

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Morgana used to have, like, extremely strong beliefs in what was right and what was wrong. In a way, that hasn't really changed - she still believes you should always do the right thing even if it isn't always the easy thing. It's just that these days, her understanding of what is 'right' is a little more skewed. She's vindictive, which sometimes gets in the way of her concept of fairness. If someone's done something wrong, she believes they should be punished, and can be rather ruthless in inflicting said punishment. She's also a person who firmly believes that the end justifies the means. As long as the end result is, in her opinion, there's little she will not do in order to achieve her goals. Getting in her way is usually a bad idea; she rarely hesitates to dispose of the people who do.

4. How does she regard beliefs that differ from hers? Is she tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
She's curious, mostly. I mean, she understands that this world is very different than the one she's used to - while it makes her a little wary, it doesn't make her angry, and the idea of obtaining a better understanding of the people here and the way they think is somewhat appealing to her.

5. What prejudices does she hold? Are they irrational or does she have a good reason for them?
She doesn't hold prejudices, not for any particular group of people anyway - and she despises anyone who does, having been a victim of them herself.


Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is she rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
Very rich, in Camelot - I mean, she was royalty. She's not doing too bad here, either. She had enough money on her to start out with, and she's been kind of using her magic to make money since then? Charging people for 'future readings', or spells, or potions. FOR SHAME.

2. What is her social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected her?
While Uther never acknowledged her as his daughter, he took her in as his ward after the death of her adoptive father, which meant she more or less was treated like royalty her entire life. Not too many people acknowledge that status here, which is a bit of a change for her - but it actually hasn't affected her too drastically? She's more concerned about adjusting to modern life, rather than how the people here treat her.

3. Where does she live? House, apartment, trailer? Is her home her castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does she share it with others?
An apartment, as of now - and it kind of depends on what canon you go by, but what's ICC canon now and is going to be board canon eventually is that all of the Merlin characters just apparently sort of...live together like a flock of crazy seagulls or something. I'm not sure why that was the first animal analogy that came to mind, but. Since this now includes Morgana, Guinevere, Arthur, Merlin, and Mordred, needless to say they're looking into buying themselves a bigger house ASAP. guys pls.

4. Besides the basic necessities, what does she spend her money on?
What does she spend her money on? I dunno. I don't think Morgana sees very much need to just spend her money on random things, especially random modern things. Like, what in this world would she possibly want? Heaven help her if she decides to like, go out and buy a cell phone or computer or something.

5. What does she do for a living? Is she good at it? Does she enjoy it, or would she rather be doing something else?
Getting an actual job, God forbid, would probably end in disaster for her at the moment. I mean seriously, just imagine her working as like a waitress or cashier somewhere. "so what's your name" "I am Lady Morgana Pendragon of Camelot" "..." "...." "can you work a cash register?" "a what?" No, but right now she's kind of been getting into some shady underground work. People pay her for all kinds of crazy shit. Fortune-telling, making them potions, casting spells, 'blessing their house to protect them from spirits', and probably things crazier than that. For the most part, she's alright with it. She's not particularly fond of exploiting her abilities in such a way; it's no pride-booster. But money is money.

6. What are her interests or hobbies? How does she spend her free time?
Practicing magic - doing spells, performing rituals, and meditating - especially by the light of the moon, which strengthens her connection to nature and is kind of an essential step in the whole becoming a High Priestess thing. Sparring and swordfighting are things she enjoys too, and reading, and drawing, and horseback riding...she has a lot of little hobbies, really. She likes to be outside. She'd be content to just take a walk through the park, or the woods. She likes to travel, and a lot of the time nowadays she's taken an interest in exploring the strange new world she's suddenly become a part of.

7. What are her eating habits? Does she skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
She's used to eating pretty regularly, buuut she didn't have that luxury in the past few years when she's sort of been in hiding, and now she tends to stress herself into losing her appetite at times.

[Ridley Duchannes]

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Tall and slender and leggy. Frequently wears short dresses or skirts to accentuate said legs.


2. How old is she?
Nineteen. Kind of a bby by Caster standards, wow.

3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch?
Oh, she's quite confident - she has absolutely no problems with that, and the way she carries herself usually makes this very clear. That being said, she is...you know, technically still a teenager, and she doesn't go out of the way to make sure she has perfect posture all the time. STICK IT TO DA MAN.

4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
She's a Caster - they don't reaaally have to worry about illnesses. Not Mortal ones, at least. No physical disabilities, aaaand she's pretty fit. She's not extremely athletic, or anything, but just kind of...living her lifestyle is exercise enough at times.

5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Very languid, casual, deliberately seductive moments.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror?
Weeell, she is a Siren. She's extremely attractive by most people's standards, because she's meant to be - so she can lure you and seduce you and kill you, duh. :]

She's pretty confident about her appearance, generally - actually, you could probably more accurately describe her as vain. Oddly enough, though, knowing people are drawn to you only because of your appearance can be a bit of a self-esteem drainer, though. Aaand she finds it difficult to look in the mirror without her shades on. Her eyes make her cringe - they're the one physical thing she's quite self-conscious about.

7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Clear, lightly tanned because ~it's always sunny in Gatlin~

8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style.
Heh. That really depends on the day. Her natural hair color is blonde because book!ridley had blonde hair and this is meks' little nodto that fact, but as a Siren she's been known to change that...fairly often. Her hair can appear in any variety of colors and styles - she favors auburn or brown, though.

9. What color are her eyes?
wow um idk :]

They are golden-yellow. Light Casters have vibrant green eyes, Dark Casters have glowing yellow ones. They're catlike and extremely piercing and hypnotic - but at the same time, they just sort of radiate an unnatural, general sense of...wrongness? Most people find them pretty disconcerting.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Her tattoos, I guess. Dark Casters have tattoos in black, swirling patterns. I believe Ridley's are on her wrist?

11. What are her chief tension centers?
Her neck and shoulders, I guess. Really, Ridley just completely bristles when she's angry, though - she's been compared to a snarling cat.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit?
Her wardrobe is described as being ridiculously controversial in the eyes of the Bible-beatin' folks of Gatlin, South Caroline. So basically barely-there dresses, short skirts, equally revealing tops...she likes to wear a lot of black, and she also likes weird, quirky little accessories that most people would "wtf" at. Oh, and her sunglasses. Can't forget those.

13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them?
She's astoundingly comfortable in them, for them being as revealing as they are.

14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences?
She pretty much dresses the same - wildly inappropriate for whatever situation she's in. Not that she cares. y o l o.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
dont even ask! /tommywiseau


Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Smooth and medium-pitched and just sort of sweet - like poisoned honey, that is.

2. How does she normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does she talk easily, or does she hesitate?
Kinda slow and drawling, but she speaks pretty easily in most situations - she's not really one to hesitate.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
She has a rather strong Southern accent.

4. What language/s does she speak, and with how much fluency?
Most Casts (spells) need to be spoken in Latin, and then repeated in English, so she knows Latin pretty well. She also knows bits and pieces of a couple of ancient Caster languages.

5. Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Juuust when she's doing ~MAGIC STUFFS~

6. Is she a good impromptu speaker, or does she have to think about her words?
She's a great impromptu speaker, mostly because she's pretty good at telling people exactly what they want to hear. The whole 'desire reading' thing probably helps with that.

7. Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
It really depends on the situation, actually. She can be eloquent when the situation calls for it - specifically, when she's being insincere or trying to manipulate someone. She gets significantly more inarticulate when she actually has to be genuine with someone, though - or really, when emotions of any sort come into play.




Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is she book-smart or street-smart?
Definitely more street-smart. School was never really her thing. But she's cunning and clever, has excellent survival instincts, and she knows how to deal with people, especially when it comes to manipulating them horribly. She's also fairly knowledgeable in Caster lore, and whatnot.

2. Does she think on her feet, or does she need time to deliberate?
Most of the time, she's thinking on her feet. She just works best that way, and unless the situation is direly important she doesn't really have the patience to sit down and plan things.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is she more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
This one is difficult to answer too. She's probably more intuitive than anything - typically Dark Casters have their emotions suppressed, but even then they're more likely to follow their natures than just strictly the facts they perceive in the world around them. And Ridley's been fighting turning Dark in her own way for longer than even she realizes, just by clinging so fiercely to her own emotions (the emotions she denies having - right, Ridley).

4. What kind of education has the character had?
A...sporadic one? xD She and Lena must've gone to like, twenty different schools total growing up. They moved around a lot, and fitting in at a Mortal school when you're a Caster isn't really...the easiest thing to do? Really, Ridley spent most of her time getting into trouble and picking fights with people who said one wrong word to her or Lena. She didn't exactly care much for the actual education part of things, and she dropped out of high school when she was sixteen, right after she was Claimed. About two years later, when she became Mortal, she returned and attended high school in Gatlin for a little while - but that was a relatively short-lived experience.

5. What are her areas of expertise? What, if anything, is she interested in learning more about?
Her areas of expertise pretty much center around the Caster world. There's this entire sort of mythology surrounding her kind, and she knows their ways and the spells they use and her family's history pretty well. She's also got quite a handle on her abilities now - although even without them, she's skilled at manipulating people.

The Mortal world - all aspects of it, really, are something she's a little less savvy about. Whatever. It's not like it matters anyway. Stupid Mortals.

6. Is she an introvert or an extrovert?
Extrovert, or at least she appears to be. She doesn't really like people, at all, but she's outgoing and confident in social situations, and pretends to be very friendly.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is she even-tempered or does she have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
She presents herself as being very cheerful, flirtatious, and laid-back, but that's almost entirely an act. In reality, she's significantly more moody and unhappy and just prone to lashing out - she really has a vicious temper, once you figure out what buttons to push (hint: messing with her family).

8. How does she respond to new people or situations? Is she suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
Relaxed, falsely friendly, and ranging from mildly interested to completely indifferent. She likes to keep herself distanced from people, especially Mortals - her attitude towards them is basically "what a story, mark". She's far from outright hostile under most circumstances, but she can be pretty manipulative and passive-aggressive.

9. Is she more likely to act, or to react?
Much more likely to act - and a lot of the time, without thinking, at that. She likes to be in control, and she doesn't have a lot of patience for things that don't happen on her own terms.

10. Which is her default: fight or flight?
FIGHT. Though, she's smart enough to recognize when running away is a good idea.

11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does she appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
Ridley is like. Rarely, if ever, serious. Her sense of humor ranges from flirtatious innuendos to mocking sarcasm to dark humor - and, yes, sometimes pranks. She just likes messing with people, really. It's usually...more funny to her than it is to the other people involved.

12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does she deal with them?
Not really. I mean, turning Dark is definitely something that affects your mental state. It changes your instincts, the way you think, the way you feel - but beyond that, no.

13. What moments in this character's life have defined her as a person?
Obviously, her Claiming on her sixteenth birthday. As far as she's concerned, that single event is the one that's pretty much going to define her for the rest of her life. She grew up in a family of Light Casters. Her parents were Light, her older sister (perfect, wonderful Reece who does everything right) was Light, and her entire life, she expected she'd be Claimed for Light as well. She never did anything wrong. She wasn't bad. Buuuut she turned Dark anyway, and she lost just about everything because of that. Including herself. So yes, I'd say that's a fairly defining event. Or at least, most Casters allow it to define them...and that's exactly what makes it so effective.

Apart from that, um...probably her falling in love with Link, or offering to sacrifice her life for Lena, because those two moments proved that she's actually still capable of love. And also, being rejected by Link once she became a Caster again - that hurt a lot, and it just kind of reaffirmed everything she's thought about herself and how irredeemable she is.

14. What does she fear?
Hurting someone she cares about, rejection and abandonment, becoming Mortal again, her little sister turning Dark, a member of her family (or Link, hahaha) dying, Sarafine, Abraham....amma she's 2spooky

15. What are her hopes or aspirations?
She had a lot, before she was Claimed, but now? Not so much. ..Though, here on AM (in the ICC, at least) she's been kinda hoping to run into some sort of ~all powerful being~ who can turn her Light. Because that's totally possible :].

16. What is something she doesn't want anyone to find out about her?
If we're talking everyday people who she runs into on the street, she probably wouldn't want them finding out what she is, naturally.

As for the people who already know, um...she's in an eternal state of denial about the fact that she still experiences emotions and that she still has it in her to be a good person, and the way she constantly brushes people off or acts unfazed by emotional things is her way of trying to keep people from finding out about that.




Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with her parents.
Caster children in the Duchannes family don't typically live with their parents, because there's the whole 'oh, what if they end up going Dark?' thing and that would just be heartbreaking. Ridley does know her parents pretty well, though - although she's not all that close to her dad. Um. As for her mom...? Delphine is actually...adorable, but just a little bit crazy...being that she goes through life seeing the past, present, and various futures all at once. My headcanon is that Ridley is exasperated her, in that typical 'ugh my mom is so weird' kinda way - taken to a whole new level by the fact that they're a family of Casters - but at the same time, if Rid hears one bad word about her mom, she's gonna be at that unfortunate person's throat in a matter of seconds. She's the only one allowed to call Delphine crazy.

Their relationship has become fairly...strained, however, since Ridley turned Dark. It's not a pleasant feeling to have even your own mother looking at you like you're some kind of monster.

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
Three!

First there's her older sister, Reece. And Reece is...basically Ridley's polar opposite, if there ever was one. Haughty and serious and bossy and strict and a complete suck-up andconstantly disapproving, Reece judges people almost as hard as the Ponds do. And then there's the fact that she's everything Ridley's not - the perfect, firstborn child, the ideal role-model to Ryan, a Light Caster. ...Ridley can't stand Reece half the time, and they argue constantly - but underneath it all, they're still sisters. And that's important.

Then there's Ridley's younger brother, Larkin. Their relationship's always been sort of...distant. But Larkin is the only one of her siblings who turned Dark along with Ridley - although Larkin embraced it much more readily than she ever did. Since then, her relationship with him has always been more about 'hey, we're both Dark Casters, the family rejected both of us, let me cling to you' then any actual genuine sort of affection. His death...hit her hard regardless, though. She doesn't like talking about him.

And finally, her baby sister, Ryan. Ryan hasn't been Claimed yet, but her powers are already manifesting, and it's pretty clear that she's a special snowflake~ because she can heal just about any injury or sickness. And Ridley doesn't show it much, but let's get one thing straight: she loves this kid to death. Despite their age difference, she was always much loser to Ryan than any of the rest of her siblings - Ridley's probably at least partly responsible for that spark of sassy mischievousness that Ryan's been known to show. Out of all the people in her family - barring Lena - losing Ryan probably hurt the most after Ridley turned. And she just guilts forever about running off and abandoning her and being a sucky big sister, and yeah.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom she is close? Are there ones she can't stand?
Pfffft, I could just go on and on forever about Ridley's family. Family's a big thing for her.

The family member she's closest to is her cousin, Lena. The two of them grew up together, and Lena's probably more like a sister to her than either of Ridley's...actual sisters? She's Ridley's BEST FRIEND, Lisa. No, but in all seriousness. Lena's probably, like, the one person Ridley trusts with her life - who she'd still do just about anything for, even now that she's Dark. I mean. She was basically willing to sacrifice her life to ensure that Lena would be Claimed as Light. Ridley. Sacrificing her life for someone. That should tell you enough. But yeah, these two know each other better than any one else does, and Lena's the one person Ridley can't be all ~cryptic and aloof~ around because she sees right through it, and fjdhjfhdsdh they're just my brotp okay.

Then there's Emmaline, Ridley's badass grandma. Rid totally pretends like her option doesn't matter and she doesn't care what she thinks, but the fact is, she really kind of does. She loves her grandma.

Macon - Delphine's half-brother and Ridley's uncle - is another one of those relatives that's like 'wow um constantly judging you B(' where Ridley is concerned, and she's kind of defiant about Macon as far as recognizing him as a voice of authority. But really, she does adore him - she'd be devastated if she thought anything happened to him, aaand she looks up to him more than he realizes.

Hahaha. AND THEN THERE'S AUNT SARAFINE~ wow she's scary. That's pretty much the extent of Ridley's thoughts on her. She doesn't like Sarafine at all, really, but she's kind of...legitimately terrified of her, and Sarafine was the only one who was accepting of her after she turned Dark - and that combination more or less bought her Ridley's allegiance, at least for awhile. But seriously, dis bitch needs to go. Ridley'd be perfectly fine with never seeing her again. Ever.


4. Are there other, unrelated people whom she considers part of her family? What are her relationships with them?
Nah. She's very...picky about who she bonds with.

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
As mentioned before, Lena. They grew up together. And had to endure public school together. With Mortals. That's a bonding experience if there ever was one. Ridley pretty much just spent most of her schooling years just shoving people into lockers if they bothered Lena, though.

6. Does she have other close friends?
Not really, in canon, but here on AM she has Clara? And again, Jemi and I aren't even sure how this happened. I guess Clara being willing to help her when she asked if they could use the TARDIS to go back before her sixteenth birthday helped Ridley warm up to her (even though that's never, ever going to work - Ridley wants to change things so that she never turns Dark, she thinks she did something wrong, but the fact is it's nothing she did - it's the freakin' Book of Moons and the freakin' curse Claiming her of it's own accord). But anyway, um. There's also the fact that Clara threw herself on top of Ayurale and got electrocuted to keep him from hurting Ridley. And their late night heart-to-hearts that seem to happen frequently. And really, Ridley's pretty sure it's not a good idea to be making friends with a Mortal, for a number of reasons - but she's kind of avoided confronting that so far.


7. Does she make friends easily, or does she have trouble getting along with people?
'Making friends' would suggest it's mutual, which, in most cases, it really isn't. She's friendly with people, and she may trick them into thinking they're friends, buuuut in reality she really doesn't care much about most people unless they give her a solid reason to.


8. Which does she consider more important: family or friends?
Family. Her family has been her whole life, up 'til now. And with the whole feud thing, it's kind of an important issue.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has she been married more than once?
It's...complicated. I don't know what she has with Link. I don't think either of them know what they have, even.

10. Is she currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
I JUST TOLD YOU IT'S COMPLICATED.

11. Who was her first crush? Who is her latest?
I'm pretty sure Link's the only guy she's ever loved - or even took more interest in than 'ohai, you look like you'd be a fun toy~' for that matter.

12. What does she look for in a romantic partner?
She doesn't even want one, ew >|. Developing feelings for Link was a total accident. If you want to use him as an example, um...be a snarky, laid-back, derp-turned-Incubus with a deeply-buried sappy romantic side?

13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does she relate to them? If no, does she want any?
I think Ridley would be terrified of ever having children. Because then they'd be Casters. And due to her family's curse, that would mean they'd have no control of whether they turned Light or Dark at age sixteen. And I think the very thought of any children of hers going Dark and experiencing the same thing she did is just heartwrenching for her. She's already terrified enough of it happening to Ryan.

14. Does she have any rivals or enemies?
SAVANNAH SNOW FJHDFKJDSJD FAK DAT BITCH FITE ME

I gueeesss Sarafine and Abraham and Hunting and co. Being that they want to KILL ALL THE PEOPLE SHE CARES ABOUT aaand...she's not particularly cool with that?



15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does she fall on the Kinsey scale?
As a Siren, I think it's safe to say that she's pretty much EVERYTHING-SEXUAL (such a legit term :]).

16. How does she feel about sex? How important is it to her?
It's not all that important, actually. She rarely even lets things get that far - she doesn't need to in order to seduce and have someone completely wrapped around her finger. And she flat-out refused to go that far with Link, at least back when he was a Mortal...there's the whole, you know, extended-contact-with-a-Caster-may-be-fatal thing, and she was kiiiinda terrified of killing him.

17. What are her turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
everything :]


Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does she fit type?
Almost definitely an Aries. And maybe a Snake or Horse for Chinese Zodiac.

2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in her life?
I guess soooort of spiritual - you kind of have to be, to be a Caster, and to be in contact with the worlds beyond your own and whatnot.

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Dark Casters aren't known to be particularly ethical. And as someone who gets into people's heads and makes them do things against their will on a regular basis, I think it's safe to say that her morals are pretty loose. She was a significantly better person before she was Claimed, and never abused her abilities then, but...yeah. I guess she does still have some morals, though. When it comes down to it, she'd never actually hurt any one of her family members - apart from maybe Sarafine (but she's too scared of that betch anyway). And she wouldn't like, go after children or anything. She does have some standards.

4. How does she regard beliefs that differ from hers? Is she tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
I don't think she really cares? Her attitude is basically 'i'm right and you're wrong, but if you wanna believe differently go right ahead :]'.

5. What prejudices does she hold? Are they irrational or does she have a good reason for them?
She doesn't think too highly of Mortals, typically. Casters are basically humans improved and perfected and superior in every way, the way she sees it, so why should she bother with the 'outdated' models? Despite her generally disdainful attitude towards them, though, there are inevitably a few exceptions - some of them just have a way of endearing themselves to her, much to her displeasure.



Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is she rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
Well, she's from one of those old, wealthy Southern families. On her own, though, she just kind of...yolos. It's not like she just can't convince you to hand over your wallet, after all. :]

2. What is her social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected her?
Her family's pretty high-class, but they were much more well-respected about a century ago. Now, the people of Gatlin just kinda think they're creepy and weird. I mean. They think Macon's Boo Radley. gatlin pls.

3. Where does she live? House, apartment, trailer? Is her home her castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does she share it with others?
Well she took up residence in the ~MAGICAL HOUSE OF RAVENWOOD~ for awhile, which was a bit suffocating because like, her whole family's living there now - but it was also safe, because of how heavily protected it was. Not even Sarafine or Abraham could get in. Now, though, she's just kind of on the run, and moving around from place to place so as not to be found. She doesn't really feel like she can live at Ravenwood anymore, because of what she is. And how they would look at her.

4. Besides the basic necessities, what does she spend her money on?
Um. Candy, designer sunglasses, ridiculous clothing, hair products, make-up, music...I mean, she's nineteen years old, Caster or not.

5. What does she do for a living? Is she good at it? Does she enjoy it, or would she rather be doing something else?
Pffft, nothing, at the moment. Besides being a Siren-Dark Caster-Seductress-Mind-Reader-Badass.


6. What are her interests or hobbies? How does she spend her free time?
All Caster things aside, she does have some actual artistic talent. She likes drawing, and painting, but lately that's kind of manifested more destructively in her graphiti-ing everything up. such a delinquent. She wouldn't really know what to do with free time if she had it - as clearly evidenced when she became a Mortal - and likely just spends it clinging to the people she cares about. Or sulking, if she can't.

7. What are her eating habits? Does she skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
She's not crazy-big on Mortal food, with the exception of anything sweet. She has a major sweet tooth. But I guess she eats pretty regularly? Idk the books were never like "WOW SHES STARVING HERSELF"

[Shio]

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy? Scrawniest thing in the world. Shio's a child and she looks like it - she's short and pretty thin despite her penchant for eating the cores of other Aragami. She's also quite androgynous - it's often difficult to tell whether she's a boy or a girl at first.

2. How old is she? Six years old, roughly.

3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch? Rather average, with a slight inclination to slouch when she's relaxing. She hardly walks around with perfect posture because there were more important things to teach her when she first encountered humans.

4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities? Quite healthy, though that's not much of a surprise - her Oracle Cells would react and devour any kind of illness or foreign bacteria as soon as they came into contact with her. As an Aragami she is quite strong and fast, and doesn't really need to exercise to stay fit.

5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid? Rather scattered, with clumsy movement most of the time. Shio acts as if she is a constant state of surprise at where her limbs are going and that she has limbs in the first place, and though she's not likely to trip over her own feet, the way she interacts with others shows that she's just a little unsure of her own body. When idle, she tends to stretch out and move around a lot, testing the limits of what she can do. In battle, she is a lot more graceful and surefooted.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror? She's... pretty cute? Especially when not wearing a ragged flag. None of my characters have any really clear concept of their appearance or something but she likes her shape well enough??? It's way better than Nova.

7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred? Palest thing ever. Shio's skin is white, or only a few shades away from it, and refuses to tan or burn.

8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style. White as paper, it's pretty short and in a choppy style, with long bangs that often cover a part of her face. Texture-wise, it's... fairly smooth? I don't know it's not like it's actually real hair, so.

9. What color are her eyes? Gold, normally, and quite striking. When her Aragami instincts begin to take over, they turn red.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features? She's made up of Oracle Cells? She has a brain, nervous system aaaand a central core that dictates her movement and the function of all her limbs and sensory organs? She can turn into a world-devouring monster?

11. What are her chief tension centers? Shoulders, neck, back. She hunches and shrinks back a lot when stressed.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit? Shio finds most clothes scratchy and confining, and the only clothing she wore for a long time was a tattered flag from a Fenrir base, roughly fashioned into what might be called clothing if you're feeling charitable. However, she also didn't mind wearing a dress fashioned from materials taken from Aragami, so there is the possibility of other clothing. Just... don't try to force her into them or she'll break down a wall and run off.

13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them? The flag is pretty tattered and ripped so while it covers everything, it really doesn't fit anyone's idea of decent clothing - but she's certainly comfortable in it, and can move freely and fight stuff without any issues.

14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences? She doesn't really have a job so yeah. Always wearing the same thing unless someone intervenes.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando? why the hell is this a question really



Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse? Low and rather androgynous.

2. How does she normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does she talk easily, or does she hesitate? Shio speaks with a little hesitance, because she's still dealing with many unfamiliar words and concepts, and thus often pauses so she can think and put what she wants to say into the proper words. When dealing with more familiar terms - like introductions and her more favoured phrases - she talks a lot faster and without her usual tendency to pause.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics? Nothing other than the typical traits of someone learning a language? She repeats words she's unfamiliar with to make sure she's got the pronunciation right, and pauses and uses "um" a lot when trying to work things out.

4. What language/s does she speak, and with how much fluency? English, and still learning so any skill with it is arguable, but she can usually make people understand her.

5. Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations? Since she doesn't know anything else, no.

6. Is she a good impromptu speaker, or does she have to think about her words? Speaking usually takes a great deal of thought, and so Shio often takes some time to focus on what she wants to say, especially if it's unfamiliar to her or very important that she make herself understood.

7. Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change? Inarticulate, as a whole - even when she explained her actions as Nova, she couldn't really explain them well. Not only is her way of thinking different from that of a human, but she doesn't have enough words to express what she wants, most of the time. The end result is that she'll miss out on important details or just mangle meanings without intending to, and she's not really comfortable with making long speeches because of this.



Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is she book-smart or street-smart? Extremely intelligent and capable of learning at unprecedented speeds - she learned human speech after a brief period of mimicking it in the span of a few months. She learns much like any child would, through experience and mimicking actions and asking for clarification, but she's probably more street smart - a concept explained in words is hard to grasp until she can link it to herself personally.

2. Does she think on her feet, or does she need time to deliberate? Shio's rather passive as a whole, and needs time before she can decide on a course of action. She's far more likely to just sit back and watch until she can decide what to do.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is she more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical? Intuitive and idealistic - Shio doesn't really think reasonably. What she works out on her own, or her decisions when she finally acts, are all based on feeling and gut instinct. She had no idea she could stabilize Lindow's infection until she tried, and her thought process for taking Nova to the moon was because the moon looked like a rice cake. Much of it is because she's still a child, despite the fact that her mental processing is on the same level as an adult, and she hasn't learned or experienced enough to be anything but an idealist.

4. What kind of education has the character had? About two months of being taught the basics of human interaction and language.

5. What are her areas of expertise? What, if anything, is she interested in learning more about? She knows a lot about Aragami, and eating. She wants to know more about everything - much of the world doesn't make sense if she doesn't actively pursue what she doesn't know yet, and she's naturally very curious.

6. Is she an introvert or an extrovert? Extroverted for the most part - she takes energy from being around others, and prefers being in a group to being alone, especially since most of her known life was in solitude.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is she even-tempered or does she have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven? Cheerful and innocent, Shio doesn't really act like most Aragami. She's hesitant in new situations and inclined to take her time in deciding to act - she usually does what she's told, finding it easier to just trust someone and do what they say. However, it's also incredibly easy to earn that trust - she tends to just accept everyone who isn't instantly trying to kill her as a potential friend and someone to learn from.

She's incredibly curious - her human side needs to learn as much as her Aragami instincts need to devour and she's quick to ask questions. A lot of questions. All the questions. She's also intelligent enough to quickly grasp even complicated ideas once they're explained to her. She has some justified fear of being alone, which she talks about freely - she values relationships, friends and just knowing people as one of the most important things in the world.

Her view of things is still undeveloped, and very black and white - her friends are good, people who hurt them are bad, and understanding that there can be middle ground is hard for her.

8. How does she respond to new people or situations? Is she suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic? In a new situation she's timid and hangs back until she considers the situation safe enough to actually approach. With people, she's a little more open and friendly, inclined to come out and treat them as friends simply because they're not Aragami and thus not inclined to eat her.

9. Is she more likely to act, or to react? React, definitely. Shio is still a child, used to being looked after and instructed, and acting on her own is something she's only done a few times. Mostly she reacts to what's going on, which is often safer and takes less time to think through what might have to be done as well.

10. Which is her default: fight or flight? Flight! Despite her instincts to devour her prey, she prefers to keep herself safe unless she's sure she can handle herself. Before she learned how to fight, she scavenged on the dead rather than taking them on herself.

11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does she appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks? Undeveloped and rather immature. She can appreciate jokes but her own humour is rather simplistic - she likes puns, and fooling people, but complicated pranks are still beyond her.

12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does she deal with them? Nope.

13. What moments in this character's life have defined her as a person? Meeting and helping Lindow, meeting the rest of the First Squad, the promise she and Soma made to discover who they were together, becoming Nova and then her flight to the moon.

14. What does she fear? Being alone, having to leave her friends behind again, transforming into Nova.

15. What are her hopes or aspirations? She wants everyone to be together again! Other than that, she really doesn't have any goals or hopes, and really no intent for anything except finding her friends.

16. What is something she doesn't want anyone to find out about her? Barring the people who already know... she doesn't like telling people that she is Nova's core and exactly what Nova is. Its intent to devour everything repels her, and she's a little ashamed that she couldn't somehow fight back when her consciousness was overwhelmed by it.



Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with her parents. what are parents

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like? what are siblings?

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom she is close? Are there ones she can't stand? blood relatives???

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom she considers part of her family? What are her relationships with them? Soma! Soma comes first because they're rather alike - not in temperament since he BROODS IN CORNERS but because he is, essentially, half-Aragami and half human, while she's a human-like Aragami. Despite his initial attempts to label them both monsters, they're close, and she looks up to him as something like an elder brother. Out of all her friends, Soma is the one she'll seek out the most often for advice or to help her understand something, and she listens to him almost all of the time.

The rest of the squad is also essentially her family, though she hasn't referred to them as such. They taught her about humanity, and she loves them all wholeheartedly - certainly enough to willingly exile herself for their safety.

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet? Lindow, arguably, who she met in the crumbling church where he was trapped. He had lost his armlet and was succumbing to the infection of Oracle Cells. She forced the Aragami attacking him to leave, and then took him to a safe place, where she treated his arm and slowed the rate of infection. He was the one to name her, and also taught her a few words - enough that she wasn't completely mute when she met the others.

6. Does she have other close friends? Thaaat basically covers it unless you include the incredible amount of villains she calls her friends in the ICC.

7. Does she make friends easily, or does she have trouble getting along with people? Shio is the best at getting friends. She trusts people easily and she's cheerful and kind of cute and thus it's rather easy to get along with her. And manipulate her but let's not get into that right now.

8. Which does she consider more important: family or friends? Friends! Blood family isn't a thing for Aragami - they literally do not have any parents or children and their method of reproduction is completely asexual. But friends can become your family and are also the very best thing ever.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has she been married more than once? She's six years old. And a monster. Just saying.

10. Is she currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse? SIX YEAR OLD APOCALYPSE MONSTER

11. Who was her first crush? Who is her latest? questions pls

12. What does she look for in a romantic partner? quiz are you even trying

13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does she relate to them? If no, does she want any? holy shit she can't have kids check your privilege you humanist scum

14. Does she have any rivals or enemies? Anyone who hurts her friends qualifies. Caliborn's turning into one because well she really does want to eat him.

15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does she fall on the Kinsey scale? Asexual.

16. How does she feel about sex? How important is it to her? QUIZ PLS

17. What are her turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits? I am so fucking done



Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does she fit type?

2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in her life? Gods are the weird things Aragami sometimes look like, also known officially as deusphages. They hiss mantras that only she can hear, proclaiming their right to rule the territory they consume.

Other than that, she has no concept of religion and would find it confusing if explained to her.

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it? Her code of ethics is to not eat friends, to keep everyone together and to come home alive. She picked them up from the squad as a whole, and it would take something disastrous to get her to compromise anyone of them - such as everyone being threatened.

4. How does she regard beliefs that differ from hers? Is she tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent? what are beliefs can you eat them

But more seriously, she'd be curious because she's curious about all the things!

5. What prejudices does she hold? Are they irrational or does she have a good reason for them? She hasn't had enough experience with prejudice or hatred in general to form any of her own. It kind of wasn't a thing in her own world.



Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is she rich, poor, comfortable, in debt? what's money can she eat it

2. What is her social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected her? Went from homeless apocalypse maiden to a research project to... a homeless apocalypse maiden who terraformed the moon.

3. Where does she live? House, apartment, trailer? Is her home her castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does she share it with others? Currently wandering around, though in the ICC she's been sleeping on a couch for the past week.

4. Besides the basic necessities, what does she spend her money on? um

5. What does she do for a living? Is she good at it? Does she enjoy it, or would she rather be doing something else? she eats Aragami??? of course she likes it it's kind of what she's supposed to do

6. What are her interests or hobbies? How does she spend her free time? Talking, meeting new people, prancing around, singing, eating.

7. What are her eating habits? Does she skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods? She eats anything that isn't human, or human-ish enough to fall under her Bias. That's it.
