Kerra’s interview

Tagged by @moonlit-grove​ (and in spirit by all y’all who had the ‘if you want to do it go for it!’ bit on your posts :D ), thank you! :)

OC interview: Kerralind

Draw (or use an old drawing, don’t worry!) or take a screen of your character in an interview setting and make them answer the following questions! 

INTRODUCTION 

1. Can you introduce yourself? 

(She laughs a little.) Sure. I’m Commander Kerralind of the Pact, but please call me Kerra. Or Commander, if you need to be more formal or are in the Pact yourself.

2. What is your gender identity, orientation and relationship status?

As far as gender goes, I believe the term I’ve heard that fits best is nonbinary. And I’m bisexual, and very much taken.

3. Where and when were you born?

In the Grove, in 1325 A.E. (She says each number deliberately and slower than necessary, like 1-3-2-5.) Early morning and early in the year. I’m very much Cycle of Dawn.

4. What is your weapon of choice and fighting style?

I prefer longbow, but I’ll fight hand-to-hand with Caladbolg and my dagger as well. I’m a soulbeast, and I nearly always fight alongside my pets. (She reaches down and scratches the head of the jungle stalker next to her.) Felix doesn’t come with me as much as he used to, but he’d most certainly have words with me if I didn’t bring anyone along. (Felix butts his head into Kerra’s leg, and she laughs again.)

5. Lastly, are you happy?

(Her laughter fades out and her eyes are tired, but her smile is wide and sincere.) Yes.

FAMILY AND FRIENDS

1. What’s your family like? What is your relationship with them? 

I see family as something made by choice rather than blood, so I very much consider my close friends to be family as well, and anyone who I consider family is someone I care about a great deal. To give you some names, I imagine you’ve heard of my siblings Trahearne and Caithe, and (a furrow appears in her brow for just a moment before clearing) I am nearly certain you know my Mother. And of course, there’s my partners Nisha and Canach, and my children, and Rel, and Minei, and--well, I know you have more questions, so I’ll stop there.

2. Have you ever ran away from home?

No. I deliberately stayed away from home, once, years ago now, but--no.

3. Would you consider marriage or having children?

(She laughs.) Considering that I already have children, yes to the second. As for the first, only if my partners ever wanted a ceremony of some kind, and we’ve never really felt we needed one.

4. Do you secretly hate one of your friends?

They wouldn’t be a friend if I did, so no.

5. Which friend knows everything about you?

Rel.

ASKED BY FANS 

1. Are you literate? Have you been to school?

I never got as much instruction as most saplings in the ways of Ventari’s tablet, as I left the Grove early, but yes, I am literate.

2. The eeriest prediction you made that later came true?

(Her mouth twists, and she puts her hand on her left shoulder for a moment, her fingers curling into a fist.) This isn’t a prediction, exactly, but...every time I visited Aurene in Tarir and, upon leaving, told her she had to stay. It’s an uncomfortable feeling to both be proven right and proven wrong.

3. What is something you were embarrassingly late to realize?

(She snorts.) If Rel were here, I’m sure he’d say my crushes on both of my current partners. Since he’s not, I’ll say the fact that Aaron--my jacaranda--likes to take dirt baths. He kept trying to burrow into the dirt belonging to potted plants in Divinity’s Reach, and I was very confused for a while. You’d think I would have figured out his habits when we were in Elona and surrounded by sand most of the time, but apparently not. In my defense, I had other things to worry about at the time.

4. Do you have mental health or physical issues?

Plenty of scars, for certain, both mental and physical. Beyond that? (She smiles, but it’s smaller this time.) I’ll just say yes.

5. What is your current main goal?

I have two: preparing the Pact for our upcoming journey, and doing my best to raise my children.

CHOICES

1. Drink or food?

Drink. I make sure to grab some nectar every time I come back to the Grove.

2. Cats or dogs?

(Felix purrs loudly, and Kerra laughs.) Cats. But I do like dogs, too.

3. Early bird or night owl? 

Again, I’m very much a Dawnbloom. If I’m not up with or right before the sunrise, it’s unusual.

4. Optimist or pessimist?

Optimistic to a fault, though I was more so as a sapling than I am now.

5. Sassy or sarcastic?

Sarcastic, but I have friends who could beat me in a sarcasm contest any day.

HAVE YOU EVER

1. Been caught sneaking out

Yes. There are benefits and downsides to working with people who know you well.

2. Broke a bone

Yes. Uncomfortable, to say the least.

3. Received flowers

Yes, though my partners and I don’t usually give each other flowers. A few times by strangers, a few times as get-well presents from friends, and once from Canach--but that was specifically him trying to be both charming and a pain, considering the timing and the bouquet size. (She grins.) It worked on both counts.

4. Ghosted someone

Temporarily, yes. Never permanently.

5. Pretended to laugh at a joke you didn’t get

When necessary for a mission or diplomacy, yes. Otherwise, even if it makes the joke less funny, I’d rather ask for an explanation.
