Stolen from :iconmykardia: who stole it from :iconbookwurm15:

Characters from Angelwings [link] (damn that book really needs a proper name...)

1. What's your character's name?
Abby: Abigail/Abby
Tom: Thomas/Tom

2. How old is he/she?
Abby and Tom: 12 or so at the beginning of the book, 14 and a half by the end

3. Is your OC a boy or girl?
Abby: Girl
Tom: Boy

4. What's his/her race?
Abby and Tom: Human

APPEARANCE

1. If this character were to suddenly become part of the real world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get?
Abby: Probably some, because she’s striking without realising it.
Tom: Not many at all. He looks very normal.

2. Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?
Abby: By people who don’t know that she can perform magic. By people who do know, she’s considered extraordinary in her field.
Tom: Yes, quite normal. Too normal, to some.

3. What would be his/her most recognizable feature(s)?
Abby: Long, auburn hair.
Tom: Dark hair, and I think he’s got grey-green eyes, like Abby.

4. Would you consider your OC as attractive?
Abby: Yes.
Tom: Yes.

PERSONALITY

1. Temper?
Abby: If she’s roused to defend those she loves.
Tom: Yes, he’s quite bitter about a lot of things.

2. Does your character ever get depressed?
Abby: Sometimes, but she’s spent time in a convent, and learnt about how to rise above her own feelings, even if she doesn’t always.
Tom: Yes. He feels incapable of helping his family.
3. Leader or Follower?
Abby: Leader when she needs to be, but she lacks confidence.
Tom: Follower, for now, but can be a leader when he needs to be.

4. What is the main aspect of his/her personality?
Abby: She tries to be good, but she can’t help but rebel if she doesn’t believe in what she is told to do.
Tom: Again, he tries to be good, but has a tendency towards jealousy.


HISTORY

1. Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?
Abby: She has a mother, Lydia, and a father, Adam. She also has a twin brother called Tom, that she loves dearly. As to whether they’re alive – one of them is at the start of the book, but isn’t any more.
Tom: Ditto, essentially.

2. Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?
Abby: By the end of the book she’s very alone in some ways, but she’s also made some good friends.
Tom: Also quite alone in some ways by the end, but under the wing of people who aren’t necessarily good for him.

3. Has he/she encountered any traumatizing events?
Abby: Yes, very. The death of a family member, the falling apart of her home, being sent away to a convent – and the fire, of course…
Tom: Oh, yes… Seeing a murder, being unable to keep his family together, etc etc

4. What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
Abby: Twirling in the snow making an umbrella with magic, before all the serious stuff started to happen. And skating with Tom down the river…
Tom: The time he skated with Abby down to Ousetown.

ROMANCE

1. Single?
Abby: For now.
Tom: Yes

2. Had your OC developed any romantic relationships?
Abby: Not yet.
Tom: No

3. Virgin?
Abby: Yes.
Tom: Yes, I think so.

4. Does your character like flirting?
Abby: I don’t think she’d understand or respect it.
Tom: No. Ditto to Abby.

SYMBOLISM

1. What animal would you associate your OC with? (Sorry, no creatures of myth and legend allowed!)
Abby: Umm… some small and unassuming creature of the hedgerows that is actually rather impressive.
Tom: Maybe a fox.

2. Musical Instrument
Abby: Something with strings
Tom: Perhaps a clarinet.

3. Element?
Abby: All of them.
Tom: Earth.

4. Planet?
Abby: Jupiter and all of its moons.
Tom: Mars

MISC.
1. Do you draw your character?
Abby and Tom: No. But I have drawn a map of where they live.

2. Do you write about him/her?
Abby and Tom: Yes. They’re the central characters of Angelwings.

3. Do you use him/her in any rpgs?
No.

4. What other ways have you appreciated your OC?
I’ve built a shrine to Abby in my bedroom, and place a fresh cherry blossom on it each morning. When the cherry blossom dies, so will she. (sorry, just kidding. How do you ‘appreciate’ an OC?)

RANDOMIZE!

5. What's one quirk about him/her?
Abby: She can fly.
Tom: He’s more powerful that he realises.

6. Does your character have any phobias?

Tom: I expect so.

7. What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?

THE FINAL QUESTION
.Q. - What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?
Abby: Pretty good. I like her, and I wouldn’t kill her.
