May 20 - June 2 Question the pups
20. Does your character prefer recreational activities that involve other people, or solo activities?
She likes both. She can be very social, with people she trusts. But she also likes to practice her music and ride horses alone.
21. Does your character ever get drunk or high? What is she like at those times?
• What are her drugs of choice? Are they legal or illegal? If illegal, how does she obtain them and justify their use?
• Does she have an addictive personality?
• Is she addicted to anything? If so, how does it affect her life?
Ryan has always drank, but not excessively. She has recently taken up cocaine, and it's not a serious problem, yet. She has plenty of money and connections, and if she had to, she could get it from Alex. She's using it daily, now, and it's not affecting her life too much. No one knows, though, and it's feeding her tendency towards losing weight and being too thin.
22. From your point of view, what is your character's worst flaw?
Her will. She's incredibly impulsive and thoughtless, and horribly strong willed. Really, only two or three people in the world can reach her.
23. From your point of view, what is your character's greatest strength?
Her will to survive and her incredible confidence/recklessness. She's not afraid to charge headlong.
24. From the point of view of someone close to your character, what is her worst flaw?
Her temper. The pup has a terrible temper.
25. A stray cat (or dog) shows up on your character's doorstep several days in a row and appears to have no home. What does she do? She wouldn't even wait days. Ryan would take him in and find him a home, or take care of him herself.
26. From the point of view of someone close to your character, what is her greatest strength?
Her guts. Courage.
27. Your character arrives home to find her door unlocked and slightly ajar, and she's sure she locked it on her way out. What does she do?
• Why is it unlocked?
Pulls a gun and goes in, though she knows Frankie and Alex would scold. Impulse and curiousity would win out over good sense. Probably a Consotium enemy or spy, or Cory and Frankie came by and broke in.
28. From your character's point of view, what is her worst flaw?
Ugly. Ryan thinks she's really ugly. And losing her ability to dance only makes that worse.
29. If someone told your character that she had a mental illness, how would she react?
• What if a close friend suggested it?
• What if a professional made an official diagnosis?
• What if a close friend or relative of hers was given the diagnosis instead?
She'd laugh, hard. No matter who it was who said it. She wouldn't care. If it was a friend or relative, she would stand by them, not treat them any different.
30. Is your character an introvert or an extrovert?
Both. She can be very shy, in a situation involving people she loves.
31. From your character's point of view, what is her greatest strength?
Loyalty. She would die for the people she loves, without hesitation.
June
1. A stranger knocks on your character's door in the middle of the night and asks for help. Does your character open the door and let the stranger in?
• What if the stranger is a tattooed, wiry man with blood on his face?
• What if the stranger is a weary-looking old lady?
• What if the stranger is a twelve-year-old child who keeps looking around as though someone is following him?
Hate to say it, but yeah. She's very empathetic and headstrong. She sees herself as a protector and warrior. Besides, the tattooed guy with the blood would probably be Frankie.
2. Does your character have any allergies or sensitivities? How do they affect his life?
No. In fact, the opposite. She's a bred soldier, stronger and immune to a lot of disease.
