6.) Describe your character’s happiest memory.
Marrying her love. After nearly a decade of fighting her parents over the heir-ship of their nobility and convincing them of the worthiness of the man she desired to wed she had won.
It was a grand affair, as could be expected for the beloved niece of the king. Even so, it was rather private, with just Alex’s close family, a couple of friends, and the king and those he brought with him,...

5.) What’s your character’s ranking on the Kinsey...
Umm… I think that’s an odd question, but I suppose a 1? She has only ever been with her love, but she’s not above flirting with both men and women if it furthers her cause.

4.) How vain is your character? Do they find...
Oh, she knows she’s attractive. She doesn’t make note of it, however. She will use it to her advantage if necessary, but if she were to be cursed and have her beauty ruined, it wouldn’t crush her. She’s too dedicated to her task for that.

3.) Name one scar your character has, and tell us...
Hmmm.. she has a scar that runs slightly down her arm from her shoulder that she got while sparring with her love. It was one of the sessions in which they were sparring with real, if simple, swords, and in a moment of distraction he got through her guard easily and wasn’t able to pull the blow in time. Although her family was furious she was able to get him off the hook and maintain her...

2.) What are your characters most prominent...
Alex has the blood of Gold dragons running through her veins, and it shows in her skin and eyes. Her skin is a dark tan that looks as if it is dusted with a very light coat of glittering gold, and her eyes look as though made of gold in liquid form. Her hair is a fiery red to match her temperament, cropped short above her shoulders to keep out of her way.
Although she is a noblewoman, her attire...

1.) Describe your character’s relationship with...
I have decided to do this for one of my character’s for a tabletop DnD game, Margaret Alexandria DeLacroix, as per Liz’s request. ^^
Alex’s parents are nobles, known relatives of the king of a nation that worships distant dragon gods. Dragon blood is strong in the family, and when Alex showed her heritage was strong she was expected to become a sorcerer or dragonfire adept, as...

29. An author you wish was more well-known
David Eddings? I don’t ever hear about him from anyone other than myself, hahaha.

28. The first book you can remember reading on...
Umm… technically, the first one I remember was a tiny little pre-school book that I read to my class when I was in pre-school. (Before kindergarten.) After that there’s no clear distinction. I read too many things.
27. Your favorite genre
High Fantasy!!! XD

“It’s Okay to be Neither,” By Melissa Bollow Tempel
Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. After breakfast we got in line for art, and I noticed that she still had not removed her hood. When we arrived at the art room, I said:...

Epic Insights →
AAUUUGGHHHH!!! This is SOOOOOO good!
It’s got epic continuations of a lot of awesome prestige classes (like Frenzied Berserker!) and feats, spells, POISONS, so much goodness!!!
TL;DR - DnD is awesome.
26. Your favorite type of nonfiction book
Cooking and knitting books. <3
Also in there are books on animals, but I’ve somewhat outgrown those.
25. The nerdiest book you’ve ever read.
Umm… most of them? But right now I’m reading the DMG for 3rd edition DnD. I suppose that wins.
24. Your favorite series
Ooooo… that’s somewhat difficult. Generally my answer is Dragonlance, which is indeed fantastic. But when I think on it a bit more I remember the Polgara and Belgarath books, and I don’t know anymore. So wonderful. I want to read them again now…
23. A book you once hated, but now love. What...
There aren’t any I can think of.
Christmas Day 25: Does your family have a Christmas breakfast or dinner?
Nygil’s Dad: Christmas Eve dinner
Nygil’s Mom: Christmas Day brunch
My family: Christmas Eve Dinner, Christmas Day Dinner, Boxing Day Dinner
(Yea, they celebrate a lot. XD)
22. A book you once loved, but don’t anymore. What...
Illustrated Classics: White Fang
I outgrew the writing style. The story was changed for a younger audience, and while it was my favorite book when I was a child, it no longer interests me.
Christmas Day 24: Do you go to a church service or go caroling?
Neither, usually. I’ve wanted to go caroling before, and I think I might have once… and I’ve been to church services in the...
21. The most disturbing book you’ve ever read.
Suicide Blonde
Christmas Day 23: Ham or Turkey?
Turkey! I’m not a big fan of ham. :P

20. The environment you most enjoy reading in.
Laying down with a pillow, usually. If not that, then curled up in something super soft, like a giant chair. <3
Christmas Day 22: Do you hang a wreath up?
Sometimes. I don’t think I own one right now, but when I do own one then I will. Preferably on the outside of the door. ^^
19. A book that you think is woefully underrated.
Villains by Necessity by Eve Forward. Not so much in that everyone hates it, but in that no one ever talks about it. Has anyone read it?? It’s fantastic!
Christmas Day 21: What kind of tree you have: fake or real? If real, what type?
This question was already asked, so I’m finding a new one:
Christmas Day 21: Give or Receive? Explain.
Haha, depends on when you’re asking. If...
18. A book that you think is highly overrated.
The Bible
Christmas Day 20: What color ornaments do you put on your tree?
All of them! Lol, I use whatever happens to be in the box. Most of it is traditional Christmas stuff, but there are a couple of odd bits and pieces here and there. I have a clear reindeer ornament.. it’s pretty cool.
17. A book you want to like, but can’t get into...
The Icewind Dale trilogy by R.A. Salvatore. I’ve got it as all three books in one, and I’ve tried a bunch of times to start reading it, but it starts very dry and I have ever so many other things to read, so I keep giving up.
Christmas Day 19: If you were an elf what would your name be?
Ok, so when I first read this question I was so confused… I was like… what is a...
16. A book you haven’t read and have no intention...
Jaws
Christmas Day 18: Which lights are better: white or colored and blinking or still?
Colored blinking lights! Make me so happy! ^w^
15. A book you haven’t read but is on your “will...
Wuthering Heights
Christmas Day 17: Have you ever been to a Christmas parade?
I go to the one in Port Colborne almost every year, but that’s about it.
14. A book you regret not having read sooner
Jane Eyre
Christmas Day 16: When did you find out Santa wasn’t real?
Not sure. I was pretty young, though… younger than 10, I think. I’m pretty sure I figured it out for myself, rather than believing anything anyone else said. I was ok with it, from what I remember.
13. Your favorite book from childhood
Illustrated Classics: White Fang
Christmas Day 15: Have you started Christmas stocking yet?
HA! Not a chance. I hope to knit one or two things before Christmas, buuut I don’t think it’ll happen. And I never buy Christmas gifts early. I have plenty of other reasons to give gifts throughout the year to buy them early. :P
12. Your favorite authors.
Mercedes Lackey
Margaret Weis
Tracy Hickman
David and Leigh Eddings
R.A. Salvatore
Christmas Day 14: How many Christmas cards do you usually send out?
None. I can’t afford the postage, usually, and anyone I would email a card to likely wouldn’t appreciate it. I send the occasional e-card here and there, but usually I just write a note or something instead, if I feel the need.

Pretty accurate but ALL MY GROUND+WATER TYPES DISAPPEARED D: poor Gastrodon and Quagsire and Swampert…
AND THIS WAS JUST MEAN, man…
No surprise as to my fave Pokemon… I always knew that ^^
But I think it was a little unfair as I only know the first two generations, and then the Pokemon from Diamond and Pearl. :S

Flowers for Algernon
Animal Farm
The Cat in the Hat
Christmas Day 13: Have you ever had a white christmas? If yes, do you ever want to have christmas without snow or vice versa?
I’ve had both. ^^
I prefer a white Christmas to a plain one. Snow makes me go all sappy inside. Some of my favorite memories were made in the snow. *swoons in happy memories*
