Character(s):
Withiel Tabris, Finn Mahariel, Finnariel Mahariel, and Kambriana Cousland
1.) What's your name?
W: *folds her arms over her chest* Warden-Commander Withiel Tabris.
F: *runs a hand through her hair* Finn Mahariel.
M: Finnariel Mahariel. Who are you, and why are you asking me questions? *looks distrustful*
K: *lifts chin* Kambriana Cousland.
2.) Do you know why you were named that?
W: Uh. My mom thought it sounded pretty?
F: I think my parents liked that it rhymed.
M: I think my parents liked that it rhymed. *exchanges uncomfortable glances with Finn*
K: A former Queen of Ferelden, they tell me. *grins* Mother had high hopes; I won't disappoint her.
3. Are you single or taken?
W: *laughs* Every night, when I'm lucky, and sometimes in the day, too.
F: I... *glances at Alistair and blushes* Taken.
M: *narrows eyes* Bonded.
K: Oh, I’m very much spoken for.
4.) Have any abilities or powers?
W: I can smell evil a mile away, and I could pick the lock on the Queen's chastity belt in the middle of court, before anyone knew I was there.
F: I can tell if there are darkspawn around... does that count?
M: I’m a hunter and a warrior. I can track animals and people, and blend into the woods well enough that most shemlen and flat-ears never see me.
K: I could charm the pants off a Templar in the middle of battle. Actually... *looks at Alistair and grins, wickedly. He blushes.*
5.) Stop being a Mary-sue.
W: I'm not! I-- *glances to the side, catches Zev's eye, looks down, scratches elbow* I'm not sure that's really possible, sorry.
F: I've never been a Mary-Sue.
M: *scoffs* I am myself, and no one else.
K: Hah! No danger of that.
6.) Uh... if you were to get in a fight with a strong wrestler, do you think you'd win?
W: Of course. He wouldn't be expecting a knife in his back.
F: Possibly. I'm pretty fast.
M: *smirks* Yes. He'd never see me coming.
K: *laughs* You mean, if I let him get close enough to put his hands on me? If I was that inept, I’d deserve what I got.
7.) Riiiight... Have any family members?
W: My dad, some cousins, half a dozen Grey Wardens.
F: *looks at her toes, links hands with Alistair* Just one.
M: *arches an eyebrow* I have an entire clan.
K: *suddenly silent, exchanges glances with Alistair* Ask me something else.
8.) Oh? How about pets?
W: Nope. I'm pretty sure Skanda would bite me if I called him a "pet".
F: Ponka, my loyal war dog.
M: No. Why would I enslave another creature?
K: Raster doesn't really count as a pet. He's more like... a little war machine, with teeth.
9.) Cool, I guess. Tell me something that you don't like.
W: I've... learned to tolerate shems. I don't like looking weak.
F: I don't like having to figure out what to do with myself when I'm not working.
M: I don't like spiders.
K: I really don't like being lost.
10.) Something that you do like?
W: I like any problem that can be solved with a knife.
F: *looks up at Alistair again and smiles* Feeling safe.
M: The green of sunlight through the leaves at midsummer.
K: Autumn!
11.) Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
W: *is bored and playing mumblety peg with her dagger* Are we done yet?
F: I like hunting. It stills the mind.
M: I’ve been working on learning to weave.
K: Ummm... No. Not really.
12.)Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?
W: Uh... I live by my wits and my daggers. What do you think?
F: I-- *looks away and covers her face with her hands* Not on purpose. *voice is strained*
M: It was self-defence, and he deserved it. *folds her arms across her chest*
K: Yes. Unfortunately, it comes with being a noble.
13.)Ever... killed anyone before?
W: *wicked grin* Why, did you find a witness?
F: *heavy sigh* It... has been necessary, sometimes. Few times have I felt just.
M: No.
K: Yes. *sets her jaw grimly* And there will be more, before I’m through.
14.)What kind of animal are you?
W: The kind you don't want to meet in a dark alley.
F: A halla.
M: Wolf: fierce, protective of my family, loyal to my clan.
K: The most dangerous kind: an injured one.
15.) Your worst habits
W: I don't admit defeat, even when it would be more prudent to do so.
F: I... I don't know. But I bet if you talked to my friends, you'd get a long list.
M: I put others before myself, often to my own detriment.
K: Getting badly injured and falling over.
16.)Do you look up to anyone at all?
W: Just one person. ...What? Oh, you want a name? *sighs* Zev. He's still faster than me. *he smirks, she scowls at him, but can't hold the face*
F: Um... No... Not really. Brother Genetivi, maybe.
M: Ashalle.
K: Wynne; she's so wise.
17.)Gay, straight, or bi?
W: Ummm... girls are pretty and all, but... I like boys. *blushes as Anders walks by, turns scarlet when she realizes Zev has caught her looking* Stop asking me personal questions. What next?
F: It depends on the person. There was this moment with Leliana... but... no.
M: I have only one partner, and he is a man. *looks over at Tamlen and smiles shyly, suddenly softening*
K: You know, I’ve been tempted, on more than one occasion, but that just doesn't help when I’ll need to secure the succession. Besides... *looks fondly up at Alistair* I don't really have any ambitions elsewhere.
18.)Do you go to school?
W: School?
F: No; I learned from the hahrens of my clan.
M: Elvhen dirth el'era.
K: I took all my lessons in the library at Castle Cousland.
19.) Ever wanna marry and have kids one day?
W: Uh... *shifts uncomfortably* What did I say about personal questions?
F: Yes, more than anything. *blushes as she catches Alistair's eye again; he looks amused and puts his arm around her*
M: *smiles at Tamlen* Ma'arlath. El isala tan'len. *Tamlen laughs and wraps an arm around her waist, kissing her temple.* We have a child. *she rests a hand on her belly* Soon to be two.
K: That's the plan.
20.)Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?
W: ...Maybe? Uh... It's always nice to have a cheering section, I guess.
F: What?
M: *frowns*
K: *shrugs* Could be. Comes with being nobility.
21.)What are you most afraid of?
W: *shares a very loaded glance with Zev* Being caught flat-footed without a healer.
F: *haunted look* Being surrounded by stone. *scoots closer to Alistair*
M: *links hands with Tamlen* Separation.
K: *wraps her arm around Alistair's waist, on the other side, and arches an eyebrow at Finn* Failure to keep my commitments.
22.)What colour is your hair?
W: Black.
F: Brown.
M: Brown.
K: Red.
23.) Eyes?
W: Blue.
F: Blue.
M: Blue.
K: Green
24.) What do you usually wear?
W: Breeches, tunic, armour, boots, gloves, helm.
F: Tunic and pants, armour when I have to.
M: Leathers, if I’m hunting; a dress, if I’m in the camp.
K: Lately, it's been heavy armour, but usually, I wear dresses.
25.)What's your religion?
W: Uh... I didn't really believe in anything, but now I guess I believe in the Maker, after this thing I did at a temple up by Haven... Sometimes you just have this experience that kinda forces you to face the idea that there's something bigger than you out there, you know?
F: I believe in the Creators.
M: The Creators protect us.
K: Andrastian.
26.)Do you wish this quiz is over?
W: We're still not done?
F: No, it's all right. What else do you need to know?
M: Yes. Hurry up.
K: You know, I’ve got other things I have to do today. Are we done here?
27.) Well, it's still not over.
W: *spins a dagger in her hand and narrows her eyes* Fine. What next?
F: Yes, I realize.
M: *sighs in irritation*
K: *settles back again* Very well, continue, but make it brief, please.
28.) Anyways, where do you live?
W: Vigil's Keep, at the moment.
F: Redcliffe Village. *another smile for Alistair; she leans her head against his shoulder*
M: Wherever my clan travels.
K: Nowhere. But, eventually, the Royal Palace at Denerim.
29.) What class are you? (Low class, middle class, high class)?
W: I'm a Warden. We make our own class. Next.
F: I... don't know. We're not poor, but we're not nobility. I guess middle? I never thought about it.
M: I am a hunter, and a warrior.
K: I thought we already established this.
30.) How many friends do you have?
W: I've got 'friends' scattered the length and breadth of Ferelden; plenty of people to call in favours with. How many people do I really trust, though? Four. No, five. No, I'm not giving you their names.
F: I was supposed to keep count? Gosh, dozens, I think.
M: Everyone in my clan, and a few in others.
K: Four... I think.
31.) If you could change anything about you, what would you change?
W: Um... I guess I'd take away my fear of any place too soft or too underground. It makes life really difficult sometimes.
F: *looks away, gaze going distant, and stays silent for several minutes, then shakes herself* I'm sorry, what? Oh. Uh... I'd make myself more persuasive, I guess. *looks down at her hands*
M: I’d make myself stronger, physically. My arms need a lot of work.
K: Hmm... I’d like to be wiser, I think.
32.) What are your thoughts on pie?
W: Ooh, I like a good sausage pie on a cold day, especially at the market.
F: Pie? It's... food?
M: What is pie?
K: Ooh, Nan's apple pie was the best... *suddenly looks sad*
33.) Alright, What's your favourite food?
W: The kind that's mine, so I can eat it.
F: Roasted rabbit and apples.
M: Roasted rabbit and apples. *spoken at the same time as Finn. They exchange looks, Finn wide-eyed, Finnariel distrusting*
K: Oh, roasted duck with raspberry sauce. *looks rapturous*
34.) Favourite drink?
W: Mead, when I drink... if I drink...
F: Honey whiskey. Why? Do you have some?
M: Honey wine.
K: I don't drink, but sometimes I’ll have a glass of wine at official functions.
35.) What is your favourite place?
W: Bed.
F: *sighs sadly* The Brecilian forest. *she catches Alistair's frown out of the corner of her eye and sits up abruptly* No, remember? It sort of... started there. You took me home. *she bites her lip and he just shakes his head; she leans against him again, looking disquieted*
M: The camp by the ocean; so many good things happened for us there.
K: You know, I actually quite liked Redcliffe. *smiles at Alistair; he smiles back at her, pleased. Finn looks at Kam jealously, and Kam simply ignores her.*
36.) Least favourite?
W: You know, there are so many. Anywhere I'm surrounded by shems, pretty much. But the Dalish weren't much better.
F: *haunted look again* Orzammar. *in whisper*
M: I suppose that would be the ruin where we lost Fenarel.
K: I really did not enjoy the Deep Roads. I do not look forward to the day when we go in there again to die.
37.) Are you still wanting the quiz to end?
W: *picks up an apple* Let's make a little bet. I bet that if you ask me one more sodding question, this apple will find its way down your throat, whole. *slaps two silvers on the table* Wager.
F: No, it's all right, go ahead.
M: Yes. I weary of this.
K: Do you realize how busy I am?
38.) Just say something to the others that filled this quiz with you.
W: *looks around* What? Who? Zev? *exchanges a glance with Zev, both nod* There. Oh, you mean her? *sneers at Finn* Grow a spine. Proud Dalish, my ass. As for her? *looks at Finnariel and shrugs* She seems all right. *looking to Kam* She seems all right, for a shem.
F: *withering look* And yet, I treated the city-cousins with respect and shut down the Tevinter slavers. Apparently flat-ear pride is exclusive. *turns away, chin up, then looks at Finnariel. Her eyes fill with sorrow, and she looks away again. She casts a jealous look at Kam, who lifts her chin and curls her lip, completely not amused.*
M: *looking at Withiel* Good to see a city-cousin so unyielding and fierce. You'd fit in well, with us, I think, if you were willing to learn the lore. As for you, *looks at Finn, her mouth twisting* I understand, sister, but you're a disgrace. I can't believe you wear my face. *Tamlen puts his arms around Finnariel's waist and speaks, for the first time* You shouldn't have let your strength die, it is what I loved about you the most. *Finn bows her head and cries, Alistair sighs, Finnariel looks disgusted, Tamlen just looks sad. When she looks at Kam, she just shrugs.* She's a shemlen noble. What is there to say? She has nothing to do with me.
K: *looks at Finn* You. You do not deserve him. *Alistair arches an eyebrow, and she colours.* Hey, I may have made a mistake, but I’m not a snivelling wreck; I stand beside you, not only by your strength. *He nods, allowing her that. She looks at Withiel and Finnariel.* You do your people proud.
39.) Well, it's over.
W: *is already distracted by where Zev has put his hands, and turns her face to kiss him*
F: *rolls eyes, disgusted by Withiel and Zev* All right then, I hope I was helpful. *leaves, hand-in-hand with Alistair, but looks over her shoulder at Tamlen, longingly*
M: Finally. El'ven, lethallin; el'aravel. *Tamlen nods and picks up his bow, pointedly ignoring Finn; he and Finnariel leave without a backward glance*
K: Good. *wraps her arm around Alistair's waist and gives Finn another withering look, then gazes up at Alistair* I don't know what you see in her. Do we really have to bring her?
i do not tag people. do it if you feel it. i needed to get back into withiel's headspace, and remind myself why i'm done with finn. >.> it's been useful to really have something to illustrate the differences between their personalities. all of them, in fact.
ps - you guys are wicked awesome. seriously. i was not expecting this to explode like it did. i love all your characters. ^.^

As for you, *looks at Finn, her mouth twisting* I understand, sister, but you're a disgrace. I can't believe you wear my face. *Tamlen puts his arms around Finnariel's waist and speaks, for the first time* You shouldn't have let your strength die, it is what I loved about you the most. *Finn bows her head and cries, Alistair sighs, Finnariel looks disgusted, Tamlen just looks sad. When she looks at Kam, she just shrugs.* She's a shemlen noble. What is there to say? She has nothing to do with me.
K: *looks at Finn* You. You do not deserve him. *Alistair arches an eyebrow, and she colours.* Hey, I may have made a mistake, but I’m not a snivelling wreck; I stand beside you, not only by your strength. *He nods, allowing her that. She looks at Withiel and Finnariel.* You do your people proud.
39.) Well, it's over.
W: *is already distracted by where Zev has put his hands, and turns her face to kiss him*
F: *rolls eyes, disgusted by Withiel and Zev* All right then, I hope I was helpful. *leaves, hand-in-hand with Alistair, but looks over her shoulder at Tamlen, longingly*
M: Finally. El'ven, lethallin; el'aravel. *Tamlen nods and picks up his bow, pointedly ignoring Finn; he and Finnariel leave without a backward glance*
K: Good. *wraps her arm around Alistair's waist and gives Finn another withering look, then gazes up at Alistair* I don't know what you see in her. Do we really have to bring her?
i do not tag people. do it if you feel it. i needed to get back into withiel's headspace, and remind myself why i'm done with finn. >.> it's been useful to really have something to illustrate the differences between their personalities. all of them, in fact.
ps - you guys are wicked awesome. seriously. i was not expecting this to explode like it did. i love all your characters. ^.^
