I don't usually do in depth character descriptions, but this seemed amusing. This is for my main character. Another one for her partner will be up tomorrow. Questions taken from this thread.
1. What is your character's name? Liber Tutelarum, 10th edition. Also goes by "Ana Talbot" after her last owner.
2. What does he/she look like? Like an old book. In human form, a rather non-descript young woman.
3. Where does he/she live? An alternate reality England.
4. How old is he/she? Several centuries. Probably.
5. What time period does he/she live in? The story takes place in the 1920s.
6. Does he/she have any relatives? Yes. The other nine editions.
7. What is his/her favorite color? None.
8. What is his/her favorite food? None.
9. What types of clothes does he/she wear? Typical mid-1920s fashion. Low-waisted dresses, mannish jackets, and cloche hats made of felt.
10. Describe his/her pajamas: Red kimono over skimpy camisoles. All in silk.
11. What is his/her favorite book? Dux Bestia ("The Guide to Familiars", a made-up book in the story.)
12. What is his/her favorite song/music genre? Jazz.
13. How often does your character shower/brush his/her teeth? At least once a day.
14. When was the last time he/she went out on a date? Sometime in the mid-1800s. She was curious about human relationships--but found it too complicated and clingy.
15. Does he/she have allergies/asthma/some strange disease or susceptibility to disease? In book form, possibly rot caused by mold and mildew if stored in a damp place.
16. Does he/she play an instrument? No.
17. Does he/she collect items? Books. Non-animate ones, of course.
18. Does he/she have any friends? Not really.
19. If you could place your person in a high school, which groups would he/she "click" with? The bookish types.
20. What hair styles does your character have? Straight and bobbed.
21. If your character got lost in a forest, what would he/she do? Perform a spell to get unlost.
22. If your character got flicked off by someone, what would he/she do? Nothing. She views most humans as fickle and vain creatures.
23. If your character was asked out on a date by a random person, what would he/she do? Unless she was really bored, say, "No thanks."
24. Does your character have any phobias? No irrational ones.
25. Does your character have a job/profession? Historical research assistant.
26. Is your character a morning person, or a late-night person? A grimoire doesn't need sleep.
27. If your character met you, what would he/she say/do? She'll tolerate me. I'm probably a lot less obnoxious than some other humans she'd had to deal with.
28. When is your character's birthday? It's currently unknown.
29. What habits does your character have? None.
30. How would a character in your book who does not like this
character describe him/her? Spiteful. Stubborn. Haughty. Prejudiced.
So...How did you do? Do you know your character well? All the questions I answered "none" to is more of like an "I don't know" or "I don't care because it won't be relevant to the story."
