[Prof. Moonie]

Hopefully the rest of my shift will go by quickly. I'm looking forward to being able to just sit down and relax, and not have to keep geting up every few minutes to let someone in through the front door. xp

 

[Prof. Moonie]

Going to do this for my two D&D characters I've already cemented into place.

1. What is their gender?
Female
Female

2. What is their sexuality?
Straight? Don't really know for certain as I've never played any romantic scenarios with her.
Lesbian.

3. What is the meaning behind their name? Do they have any nicknames?
I chose the name from the player's handbook. It reminded me of Shannara Chronicles. Shannara apparently is an actual name meaning "Grace of God."
One of the members of a prior party she adventured with called her "Shay" for short.
Zabryna is a variation of Sabrina, a name meaning "from the border," "legendary princess," and "white rose."

4. Do they have any siblings? How many? Are they older or younger? Which sibling are they the closest with?
No sibilings.
No siblings.

5. What’s their relationship with their parents like? What about other relatives?
She's quite close with her parents. Though she feels slightly betrayed when she discovers her father isn't as supportive of her life choices as he made her believe. While she's close to other family members, she feels like she has to guard her true self around them because she knows her beliefs differ from their ways and worries her relationships will be destroyed if she reveals her true feelings.
She is quite close with her mother as she's lived in a one-parent household. She's pretty protective of her mother. She's never met her father but is curious on who he is.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

6. What would they give their life for?
Family and friends.
Her mother.

7. Are they in a romantic relationship? With who? How did they meet?
None at this time. She did have a brief encounter with a faun gentleman in the Faewild but it didn't last long.
She had been in one with a lady of the court but the relationship ended when she discovered her best friend the prince and the lady were to be engaged... and a false accusation of her being a betrayer of the crown was placed upon her head.

8. What do they believe will happen to them after they die? Does this belief scare them?
She will be able to join the Wildmother in her forest realm.
She's never really thought much about it.

9. What is their favorite color? Favorite animal?
Green. Deer.
Purple and black. Dragon.

10. What are some of their talents/skills?
Good with nature and animals.
Good with the sword.

11. If they could make a mark on history, what would they like it to be?
Being part of a team to prevent a great evil from terrorizing a community much like the group Vox Machina.
Regaining honor to her name and revealing the corruption surrounding her former best friend, the prince.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

12. How old are they? When is their birthday?
She would be 132 now. I coordinated her age with mine plus some elf years, lol. I don't remember what birthdate I ended up with her.
She's an adult. I don't remember exactly the age now... or the birthdate I chose for her.

13. What do they do for fun?
She enjoys going for walks in nature or interacting with animals.
She's fond of games.

14. What is their favorite food? How often do they get to eat it?
...?
..?

15. What was something their parents taught them?
She is familiar with the use of a dagger through her father. In fact, the dagger she owns was a gift from her father.
Hmm... not sure. She's still sort of a work in progress, so still discovering her backstory beyond the basics.

16. Are they religious?
She is a cleric of the Wildmother, so yes, she is. Though she has fond she is deviating more to the druidic lifestyle of the Wildmother than the clerical. So, she doesn't consider herself as religious-oriented as her extended family - hence the concerns on how her standings would affect her relations with them.
Not on an active level. She acknowledges the deity her mother follows and the one her father apparently was associated with.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

17. Where were they born?
Somewhere close to her home town.
I haven't really determined that part of her life yet.

18. What languages can they speak? Where did they learn these languages?
Common and Elvish. I believe I also had her understand Sylvan (sp?) because of her connections with the Faewild.
Common and Infernal. I don't remember what additional languages I chose... Draconic, maybe?

19. What is their occupation?
Adventurer right now. Suppose being a Cleric of the Wildmother would also classify.
Former royal army member.

20. Do they have any titles? How did they earn them?
No.
Because of being a member of the royal army, she would've had the title "Lady" I suppose.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

21. What is their favorite thing about their personality?
Being able to stay calm in any situation and get along well with others.
Being able to acknowledge when it's time to be serious and when to be laidback and have some fun.

22. What is their least favorite thing about their personality?
She can be a bit emotional and may take things more personally than she should.
She now has a sense of distrust in new people.

23. Do they get lonely easily?
It can be hard being the "third wheel" sometimes among others.
After dealing with the heartbreak she experienced, she's not all too worried about relationships at this time.

24. Do you know their MBTI type?
Nope... but it would be fun to see what it would be.
See above.

25. What is their biggest flaw?
Has trouble being assertive. She prefers to stand back and observe, rather than be confrontational.
Maybe being resentful and holding grudges? Can you blame her after what she went through?

 

[Prof. Moonie]

26. Are they aware of their flaws?
Yes.
Yes.

27. What is their biggest strength?
I feel like I already hinted at this.
Loyal to the end.

28. Are they aware of their strengths?
Yes.
Yes.

29. How would they describe their own personality?
Calm and caring.
Strong-willed, independent, and protective.

30. When frightened, will they resort to “fight” or “flight”?
Hmm... she's more likely to observe from a distance to assess the situation further. She could easily go either way depending on the scenario.
Definitely a fighter. She'll protect those she loves.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

31. Does this character ever put somebody else’s needs before their own? Who do they do this for? How often do they do this?
As a cleric, it is part of her training to care and heal others before worrying about her own.
She is quite protective of those she cares for. Perhaps a bit too much for some. But if it comes to those she's not close with or strangers, she'll take care of herself first. Trust issues, you know.

32. What is their self esteem like?
Good.
Quite good.

33. What is their biggest fear? How would they react to having to face it?
Losing the relationships she has with family. Probably depends on the family member and how it came about.
Hmm... not sure.

34. How easily do they trust others with their secrets? With their lives?
They are able to trust others to a certain level. But when it comes to secrets, only those she is extremely close with get the honor of knowing those.
Her sense of trust in others has been broken. You have to be quite a special individual to gain her trust with such things now.

35. What is the easiest way to annoy them?
Trying her patience a bit too much.
Disrespectfulness.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

36. What is their sense of humor like? Give an example of a joke they would find humorous.
Intellectual, I suppose.
She probably would enjoy teasing humor as long as the person being teased is cool with it. It would be a whole different thing if it was leaning more towards the bullying end of things.

37. How easy is it for them to say “I love you”? Do they say it without meaning it?
Easy to say with family and friends. No, they always mean it.
Not anymore after having her heart broken. Outside of her mother, she probably wouldn't utter such words.

38. What do others admire most about their personality?
*shrugs*
*shrugs*

39. What does their happily ever after look like?
Depends on how future one-shot games affect her life.
I don't know yet. I have yet to actually play any games with her.

40. Who do they trust most? Is that trust mutual?
Her parents. Yes.
Her mother. Yes.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

Alright, I can't focus on doing any more of those questions. My patience is drawing quite thin right now and it makes it hard to enjoy doing them.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

I'm tired of having to constantly getting up to let residents in. Residents who are constantly coming in and out every few minutes. Becomes quite tiresome.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

Don't mind the couple residents who keep coming by going "Is there any mail for me?" No! For heaven's sake, no! I just told you it hasn't come yet. I will give you your mail if I have any, especially at meal time. There's no reason for you to keep bothering me about it.

 

[Prof. Moonie]

And then there's the residents who just randomly come up to tell me that some package or whatever is expected to arrive at a certain time. Okay... don't know why you are telling me. As long as you know when it's happening then we can worry about it when it's closer to that time. I don't need to know about it or who is bringing it or what's going to be in when it has nothing to do with me or what I do.
