The IC character questionnaire :: Canon
What's your full name?
Ginia Marie Solana
What do go by?
Just Ginia. Gin or G, I get those a lot and I've always been okay with them.
What do you do for work?
What I tell people? Data analyst mostly, which isn't really a lie since I do a lot of data analyzing in my work. Research, planning, that kind of stuff. What I really am is a freelance hunter. I go from job to job doing whatever I'm paid to do. Tracking people down, hits, stealing information, stuff like that.
Where are you from?
Born and raised in Davenport, Massachusetts.
What is the one thing about yourself that you would like me to know?
That's... a hard one. That I have my reasons, I suppose. I mean, I guess everyone has a way to justify their actions and I'm not saying what I'm doing is right or any better than anyone else. End of the day, regardless of the reason, a dead body is a dead body. You can't bring that life back.
What do you do for fun?
Read, mostly. Nothing like curling up with a good book, maybe a hot cup of tea or hot chocolate on the nightstand. There's value in reading. If I need something a little more active, jogging. Good for the body and spirit. I like riding my motorcycle around too, it's a great way to travel.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
No.
What is your most treasured possession and why?
I have some photo albums with pictures of my family. Pictures of better days, I suppose. I know there's danger in getting caught up in the past and getting too nostalgic, but they're the only pictures I have.
What is your favorite month of the year and why?
June. I've always found it to be a relaxing month. Summer and all. Unless you're in the southern hemisphere.
Which is your favorite book/movie?
God, I don't know. I've always liked mythology and the original Grimm's fairy tales. The really gritty ones. F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, there's a good one. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I love Sherlock Holmes.
As far as movies go... Moulin Rouge, the one by Baz Luhrmann. Lovely and fun. Amélie, another beautiful movie. I do like Star Wars, the original trilogy. Again, too many good movies to really pick a single one.
Which is the one job in the world that you would love to do?
With all the jobs in the world to choose from, I'd still like to be a bartender running my own bar. Or a professional dancer. How about both?
Which is your favorite music and your favorite singer/band?
Again, it's impossible for me to choose. I love rock, but basically grew up on classical music, jazz, and Broadway showtunes.
Do you like animals/keep pets?
I like animals a lot, but as I'm constantly traveling, it's hard to keep a pet. I wouldn't mind having a dog though, a loveable mutt from the animal shelter.
How do you spend your spare time?
Reading mostly. If it's safe enough, I'll go out for a quick job or find a gym to work out in. Sleep is good too, you can't go wrong with some naps.
Where do you see yourself in five years time?
This question. Never liked this question. Honestly? I don't know. Alive, preferably. Maybe retired somewhere nice, peaceful, and quiet. But alive is a good start.
If you were an animal in the wild, what would you be?
Jaguar. Beautiful animal, apex predator, the only big cat found in the Americas. Quite unique in that their method of killing is biting directly into the skull to pierce the brain. They have the strongest bite of all felinds too, twice the biting power of a lion. Amazing animal.
Do you believe a cup is half empty or half full?
I believe it's time for a refill.
If you could travel back through time, what single mistake would you correct in life?
I wouldn't have made Erika go out for lunch.
You have got six months to live, what will you do first?
Get all my affairs in order. Update my will and make sure all my money and belongings are donated to appropriate charities upon my passing and that what organs I have will be donated. Maybe travel a little, see a few places and take some time for myself.
Oh, and track down Braddock and put a bullet in his skull.
Is sexual compatibility important to you?
If I'm going to be having sex with someone, I'd want them to be compatible, right? Easier in the long run, it only gets frustrating if needs aren't being fulfilled.
Who was your hero, as a child?
Batman. Because he's the goddamn Batman. But as cliché as it sounds, I really looked up to my parents.
If you won a lottery, how would you spend your millions?
I wouldn't. I'd donate all of it.
Which was the first crush you ever had?
If we're talking about fictional characters, Han Solo. Otherwise there were some really cute boys in the dance company I used to dance with.
What makes you laugh/cry?
A lot of things make me laugh, I'm an easily amused person. I don't really cry.
If you have friends coming over, what would you cook?
Something Italian, a pasta or a lasagna. Easy to make, even from scratch, but delicious and the perfect meal for a table full of friends.
Describe your perfect holiday.
Halloween, lots of good costumes, horror movies, and tons of candy.

Lady Gaga - Born This Way

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Can we say my last? I think my past is a perfectly legitimate answer.
