Doll Surveys: Kalimpong
Name: Kalimpong
Doll Mold: DollZone Fenyo
Face up: default (currently, may change)
Eyes: 14mm silver metallics (acrylic, unknown maker, possibly Volks)
Hair: pale blonde shading to auburn (Jpopdolls' Kanawaves in Syma)
Age: old enough to have helped found the main shrine to Inari
Basic personality:
.If you were to describe yourself with one word, what would it be?
Calm
.What is most important to you in the world?
my Lady, the Goddess Inari
.Would you help someone who needed it while passing?
Of course!
.Are you very observant?
Oh, yes. I don't often act on what I see, though.
.How innocent/naive can you be?
*wistful sigh* I was terribly innocent once, and a pure, wonderful soul died because of it.
.Can you entertain yourself easily?
Now-a-days? Yes! There is much to see and do, and it is easy to travel.
.How well do you get along with others?
Fairly well.
.What was the longest time you had a friend?
...Since Inari found me, and lead me from my place of mourning. She has been my dearest friend ever since. Otherwise... hmm. I have known Kyuubi since he first arrived at the shrine, and Yuebing all his life.
.Do you have someone who knows you inside out?
Oh, I imagine anyone could. I have few secrets.
(Author's Note: otherwise known as... no one but Inari.)
.How short is your temper?
How serious was the crime? *sweet smile*
.Can you let go of grudges easily?
Again I ask, how serious was the crime?
Interests
.Do you read?
Oh, yes. I adore books.
.Do you watch TV?
Sometimes. Pre-recorded movies, mostly. DVDs, Yue-chan says they're called.
.Do you collect anything?
*blush* DVDs. They're shiny AND they contain movies.
.How long do you stay interested in something?
Either a very long or a very short time.
.If you collected, would it be for interest or profit?
Interest. What would be the point of collecting only to sell what you've worked so hard to collect?
History
.Do you know your parents/creator?
I do not... I may exist simply because people believed creatures like me to exist. I came to the land where I met the monk I loved and lost, and Inari who has cared for me, from India via China.
.What is your birthday?
Oh my, I don't remember!
.Do you have any siblings?
Not of which I am aware.
.Ever have to fight for what you believe in?
Yes... And I lost, anyway. But I had my revenge.
.When did you move out on your own?
I have always been on my own.
.When did you REALLY mature?
When my beloved monk died despite all my efforts, I decided I would mature no further. I have not physically changed since then, except perhaps to cut or style my hair.
Oh, you mean emotionally? I am still maturing! Aren't we all?
.Did you have many friends?
Once, before I fell in love, yes. Then for a long time, I did not. Now, I begin to have friends again.
.Any action you regret?
Not fighting harder to steal the monk's fate and take his place.
.What is a memory you treasure?
Being kissed by Inari.
.If given a choice, would you do it all again the same, or change it all?
I do not know.
Relationships - while single (Or while you were.)
.Do you have a dream partner?
...I do not dream.
.Do you believe you seek someone like your parents(or creator)?
No, I don't believe such a thing.
.Do you have one night stands?
Night-stands? If there is only one, how can there be many? I am Shinto, not Zen Buddhist! I don't deal in koan.
.What feature is most attention grabbing for you?
A pure spirit.
.What MUST someone have for you to consider them?
Kindness and compassion.
.Older, younger, same age as you?
Oh my, at this point, I'm older than nearly everyone but the Ladies!
.How do you feel about settlng down?
I am settled.
.How many dates before you go to bed with someone?
Dates? What do desert fruits have to do with going to bed with someone?
.How do you handle rejection?
Poorly, I'm afraid.
.How many times did you stop something before it developed?
Oh, many, many times. It's become easier lately.
Relationships - Once taken, or what you want if taken.
.Have you settled down and if so for how long?
I am settled.
.Any Children?
No.
.Any Grandchildren?
No.
.What do you love most about your partner?
...I do not have one.
.Any petnames?
Kali! Inari likes to tease me, though. She calls me Ka-chan.
.How many relationships have you been in?
...only two.
.Have you ended any?
No, it was ended for me.
.Has your heart been broken?
Oh my, yes, hasn't everyone's at one point or another?
.Any loves you cannot have?
My first love.
.Do you believe in true love?
Sometimes.
Mortality
.Have you ever died?
No.
.Can you even die?
Yes.
.Have you seen someone die?
Deaths both natural and unnatural, yes.
.Have you killed someone?
Yes. The greedy man responsible for the death of my beloved monk.
.Have you had someone killed?
No. I drove him to insanity and death myself. I would not wish to dirty someone else by asking such a thing of them.
Life
.What makes you truly happy?
Comfortable clothing, long flowing skirts, and my Lady.
.If you could, what is one thing you would spend your life doing?
What I am doing now.
.Do you have a job, if so what is it?
I work for the Ladies as a supervisor and coordinator of employees in the agency Kyuubi suggested and essentially devised to help non-humans and non-humans raised as humans without any knowledge of their true natures. Mostly I do clerical work for the Ladies themselves.
.Have you ever gone insane?
Briefly, when my revenge was over. At the very last of it, I hurled myself off a cliff, and Inari found me still alive, washed up on a beach. It was there that we founded the Great Shrine, and the torii walk out into the water where I drifted ashore.
.Did you ever feel as if you were the only sane one in the world?
Only when at the office. Does no one know how to alphabetize? I do, and English is far from my first language!
.If you had a choice, would you live a calm eternal life, or live a wild short life?
A calm, eternal life.
was very, very odd to fill out this survey. how was i to know Kalimpong was going to claim to be THE fox spirit from The Monk's Tale/The Dream Hunters/The Tale of the Monk and the Fox That Loved???
and yet, with her own twists, she has. fascinating little girl.
