♏ Character Survey

[expy]

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
She is 5'10" with a fairly toned and thin build. She's been taking morning jogs every day since she turned 14, so she's fit.

2. How old is she?
17. Her birthday is on November 1st.

3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch?
She carries herself relatively well, making sure her posture is perfect around strangers and those she isn't close to. Around friends, she slouches a little bit and becomes more relaxed.

4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Fit and healthy! She is slightly near sighted and required correctional glasses, but she's too lazy to get them so she just deals with it.

5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Fluid, I guess. She moves like a confident teenage girl who is quick on her feet due to a nice exercise routine? When fighting, since her weapon of choice is a staff, her movements reflect that.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror?
She thinks she's hot shit. Seriously. Realistically though, she's pretty but not wow.

7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
She has naturally tanned skin (slightly more darkened due to sun exposure on her arms, leg, and neck areas), and a fairly good complexion. She gets zits and blackheads every once in a while like a normal teenager, and her face gets oily if she doesn't tend to it, but it's a nice complexion otherwise.

8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style.
Her hair is naturally slightly wavy and blonde. She and her girl bestie decided to experiment with weird colors when they were in freshman year, and she kind of stuck with having it a dark shade of green after a couple of tries with blues, reds and oranges.

9. What color are her eyes?
Gray.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Not really? She has a bumpy and funny shaped scar on her elbow from when she was 6-years-old and busted by falling off a bike, but other than that, nothing.

11. What are her chief tension centers?
Definitely shoulders.

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?
Casual, with the specifics varying on the weather and place she's going to. For the most part, she favors things like shorts, leggings, simple design t-shirts and comfortable but pretty looking shoes. She prefers dark and neutral tones, since she feels like she looks like a weird puffy lollipop in brighter colors. When the occasion calls for it she'll wear very nice and simple dresses and skirts, and she mostly accessories with one or two bracelets.

13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them?
Yes. She's picky about her clothes, so she doesn't buy anything that doesn't fit well or makes her uncomfortable.

14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences?
She's unemployed and a public school student, so n/a.

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


Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Feminine, but neither high-pitched or deep. It's more of a middle ground, and tends to make her sound very deadpan without her trying.

2. How does she normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does she talk easily, or does she hesitate?
Evenly, and loud enough to be audible to everyone. She speaks easily, with nearly no verbal fillers.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
She tries her hardest not to have any of these, but sometimes she slips and says things like "y'know" or "ain't". Her speech is very bland on purpose around people she isn't close to, so, yeah.

4. What language/s does she speak, and with how much fluency?
She speaks English fluently and as a first language. Her mother is the granddaughter of Latin American immigrants, so she's picked a bit of Spanish. Enough to let her read and understand it, but not enough to write it or speak it.

5. Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Nah, talks English 24/7.

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

7. Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Eloquent, mostly due to her own personal expectations. If something or someone causes her to become emotional, though, she'll start sputtering all over the place.


Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is she book-smart or street-smart?
Street smart, for the most part. She relies on common sense a lot, and trusts it more than something she can learn from a book.

2. Does she think on her feet, or does she need time to deliberate?
On her feet. She tends to be impulsive, especially in situation where she's like welp going to die anyway might as well.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is she more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
She's more intuitive than logical, trusting her gut feelings more than what's logical. Seeing as how everything "logical" has been crashed with a sledge hammer for her in the past few months, she's come to depend on her gut feelings even more. However, she also tends to be more practical than idealistic.

4. What kind of education has the character had?
Basic USA standard education for a high school student.

5. What are her areas of expertise? What, if anything, is she interested in learning more about?
She's very knowledgeable in sciences (particularly biology) and English literature. She kind of secretly fondly regards Marine Biologists, so she would like to learn more about the fields that relate to that.

6. Is she an introvert or an extrovert?
Introvert, but only through the virtue of not being interested in expanding her social circle. She can easily be an extrovert, she just thinks most people are idiots and doesn't want to relate to them.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is she even-tempered or does she have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
She outwardly appears to be very laid back and even-tempered, and this is true for the most part. For things in her personal life, she's kind of lazy and procrastinates a lot. When things relate to other people, she's very driven. After all, she doesn't want to come off as an irresponsible person. She's much better than that, in her mind.

8. How does she respond to new people or situations? Is she suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
She is relaxed with a healthy amount of suspicion, more so towards new situations than people. Her responses towards new people entirely depends on the impression she gets from them. For example, someone obviously checking her out will be met with obvious disgust, while someone who is friendly and timid will be met with a relaxed and friendly attitude.

9. Is she more likely to act, or to react?
Act. She hates being a bystander.

10. Which is her default: fight or flight?
Fight. Again, she hates being a bystander.

11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does she appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
She has a sensible, healthy sense of humor. She finds gallows humor funny to some degree, likes well executed puns, and finds bathroom humor childish. She's torn on pranks, but will find them funny if they don't cause her any embarrassment.

12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does she deal with them?
She has her issues, but nothing that would become a blip on the illness radar.

13. What moments in this character's life have defined her as a person?
VARIOUS. Her parents left her the impression that it's easier to find a healthy relationship in a loveless marriage than one born of "love", as such she doesn't recognize her love for Alexander and Duke for a very long time. Her brother going missing for two years also left her scared that her friends and family can disappear at any given moment. More recently, she's become more open minded and carefree due to her involvement with the supernatural.

14. What does she fear?
People disappearing on her, death, being mugged, car theft, and for some reason she can't explain, suffocation.

15. What are her hopes or aspirations?
She doesn't have any. The closest thing she has is "knowing" that she'll end up in a loveless marriage with two children and become a housewife.

16. What is something she doesn't want anyone to find out about her?
That she's actually very emotionally volatile and depends on her friends to some extent.


Relationships

She's on good terms with her mother, but wishes she would mature a bit and stop being so unreliable. As for her father, she doesn't mind him, but she's not close to him at all.

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
Yep! One 23-year-old big brother. She loves him very much and he's probably the closest person she's to other than Alexander, at least in terms of confiding things. She feels more like she's the big sibling, due to his issues, but that doesn't really bother her.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom she is close? Are there ones she can't stand?
Her best friend is actually her maternal cousin, so. Other than that, she doesn't mind the rest of her family.

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

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Again, her best friend is her cousin. They've known each other since they were babies.

6. Does she have other close friends?
Yes. Her best friend's girlfriend and two other girls, which makes up a five man band.

7. Does she make friends easily, or does she have trouble getting along with people?
She could make friends easily if she bothered, she just doesn't want the emotional baggage.

8. Which does she consider more important: family or friends?
Family, but only in terms of her brother. She doesn't feel that emotionally attached to, say, her mother or cousin.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has she been married more than once?
Technically... dating. """Technically""". She's in an open relationship that is only open because both halves are prideful, dumb butts.

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

11. Who was her first crush? Who is her latest?
A moe boy named Alexander who she met through the internet... Currently, she's dating a jerk named Duke.

12. What does she look for in a romantic partner?
Don't be a jerk!!! (spoiler: she's """dating""" a jerk.)

Nope. She does want them, though.

14. Does she have any rivals or enemies?
No particular rival, but anyone who tries to wreck the Veil or threatens her brother is her enemy.

15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does she fall on the Kinsey scale?
0, exclusively heterosexual! She's never given females any thought, and doesn't find them attractive at all.

16. How does she feel about sex? How important is it to her?
Sex is sex. She doesn't feel inclined to have it, but she's fooled around without actual genitalia touching before.

17. What are her turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
Risk is a big turn on for her, as well as fem dom and roughness. Vanilla sex is a really big turn off for her, and she'll pretty much get mad and leave if anyone tries it with her.


Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does she fit type?
She's a Scorpio! I don't know much about the Chinese zodiac, but apparently, she'd be a horse.

She doesn't think about this at all.

Tolerant. She doesn't care what others believe in as long as they're not shoving it down her throat.

5. What prejudices does she hold? Are they irrational or does she have a good reason for them?
People are idiots. Automatically. No questions asked. She has no good reason for them aside from watching too many adults flop around during her childhood.

Electronics, accessories, hair dye, magazines, etc.
