1.) Describe your character’s relationship with their mother or their father, or both. Was it good? Bad? Were they spoiled rotten, ignored? Do they still get along now, or no?

Heather: Her relationship with her mother is nonexistent, but was decent before her parents divorced. She and her father get on each other's nerves a lot, but they get along okay regardless.
Jay: He never got along well with his father, and is relieved to no longer have any relationship with him. While he quietly disagrees with some of his mother's decisions, the two get along fairly well.

2.) What are your characters most prominent physical features?

(You're going to notice my characters aren't terribly striking, appearance-wise.)
Heather: Her brown doe eyes, probably.
Jay: His cobalt blue eyes, or the blue streak in his (light brown) hair.

3.) Name one scar your character has, and tell us where it came from. If they don’t have any, is there a reason?

Heather: Surprisingly, she doesn't have any. There's no real reason behind it, aside from that she's just more careful than her brother.
Jay: There's a faint scar across his right arm, which happened when he fell out of a tree (a branch caused it).

4.) How vain is your character? Do they find themselves attractive?

Heather: She cares about her appearance, but not enough to be considered vain. She doesn't think of herself as particularly attractive or unattractive, she has other things to think about.
Jay: Honestly, the only time he thinks about his appearance is when he briefly sees his reflection in the bathroom mirror while brushing his teeth.

5.) What’s your character’s ranking on the Kinsey Scale?

Heather: In all honesty, she's never been sexually attracted to anyone. She's only romantically attracted to guys.
Jay: In all honesty, he's never been sexually attracted to anyone. He's only romantically attracted to girls.

6.) Describe your character’s happiest memory.

Heather: It's hard to say. She has several happy memories from before the divorce, but nothing really stands out as the happiest.
Jay: If asked, he would say when he and Heather first investigated the old barn on their property (which was long before the divorce). Although he wasn't entirely oblivious to his sister's apprehension, it was an adventure to his eight-year-old mind. The barn turned out to be safe, and it became their hideout, leading to a lot of good times.

7.) Is there one event or happening your character would like to erase from their past? Why?

Heather: Whatever resulted in her parents falling out of love (thus resulting in the divorce). She actually feels guilty about this in a way, because she knows the detrimental effect their father had on Jay's confidence over time, and how much better off he is away from that. But she misses her brother.
Jay: The divorce, or whatever caused it. As hard as it was to live with their father, he misses his sister.

8.) Day of Favorites! What’s your character’s favorite ice cream flavor? Color? Song? Flower?

Heather: Ice cream isn't really her thing. Favorite color is probably black, although she isn't emo or anything. Favorite song is "I Won't Let Go" by Rascal Flatts. And like most girls, her favorite flower is the rose.
Jay: I dare you to mention Turtle Tracks around him. His favorite color is blue. Favorite song is probably "You're Gonna Fly" by Keith Urban. And seeing as he's a guy and all, he doesn't have a favorite flower.

9.) Who does your character trust?

Heather: Jay. She'll tell him pretty much anything, and trusts him with everything but his own safety.
Jay: Heather. He'll tell her anything, even if he knows he'll be teased about it, and trusts her with his life.

10.) Can you define a turning point in your character’s life? Multiples are acceptable.

Heather: When things started to get bad between her parents was one, and another was when the divorce actually happened. Both greatly affected her relationship with Jay: the former resulted in her becoming more protective of her brother, aware of how sensitive he was to the increasing tensions. The latter, though it separated the two, caused them to somehow become closer, with the two keeping each other up-to-date on what's going on in each other's lives.

11.) Is there an animal you equate with your character?

Heather: Not really.
Jay: Um... Isn't it kind of obvious?

12.) How is your character with technology? Super savvy, or way behind the times? Letters or email?

Heather: Being a teenager, she more or less has kept up with the times. She prefers letters over email (they feel more personal), but phone calls are her preferred means of contact.
Jay: Being a teenager, he more or less has kept up with the times. He prefers letters over email (they feel more personal), but phone calls are his preferred means of contact.

13.) What does your character’s bed look like when he/she wakes up? Are the covers off on one side of the bed, are they all curled around a pillow, sprawled everywhere? In what position might they sleep?

Heather:
Jay: His covers end up on the floor half the time. He's usually an extremely restless sleeper, so he shifts position frequently.

14.) How does your character react to temperature changes such as extreme heat and cold?

Heather: She's from the south- while she's tolerant of heat, she can't stand cold.
Jay: He's from the south- while he's tolerant of heat, he can't stand cold.

15.) Is your character an early morning bird or a night owl?

Heather: She's more of an early bird, and often annoys Jay by forgetting about the whole timezone thing and calling way too early.
Jay: He's very much a night owl. Don't expect him to be coherent until around noon.

16.) Are there any blood relatives that your character is particularly close with, besides the immediate ones? Cousins, Uncles, Grandfathers, Aunts, et cetera. Are there any others that your character practically considers a blood relative?

Heather: She's very close to Jay, but not really any other family members. The cousins and such have moved elsewhere, and the grandparents are either deceased or living in Florida. There's not really anyone else worth mentioning.
Jay: He's very close to Heather, but not really any other family members. The cousins and such have moved elsewhere, and the grandparents are either deceased or living in Florida. There's not really anyone else worth mentioning.

17.) What’s your character’s desk/workspace look like? Are they neat or messy?

Heather: Heather would try to keep her hypothetical workspace organized, but would probably be unsuccessful.
Jay: Jay's hypothetical workspace is a mess. Always.

18.) Is your character a good cook? What’s their favorite recipe, whether they’re good or not? (Microwave mac-and-cheese applies.)

22.) If your character could time travel, where would they go?
23.) Is your character superstitious?
24.) What might your character’s ideal romantic partner be?
25.) Describe your character’s hands. Are they small, long, calloused, smooth, stubby?
26.) Second day of favorites! Favorite comfort food, favorite vice, favorite outfit, favorite hot drink, favorite time of year, and favorite holiday.
27.) Pick two songs that describe your character at two different points of their life, and explain why you chose them.
28.) If your character’s life was a genre, what would it be?
29.) How does your character smell? Do they wear perfume or cologne?
30.) And finally: Write a letter to your character, from yourself.
