I have 3 younger brothers
3. How old are you?
26

Tall enough.
5. Are you a virgin?
....*Excuse* me?! That is a most impertinent question.
6. Who's your mate/spouse?
Apparently I am married to the jumped up little fairy known as the Fae of Prisoners. He will be learning the consequences of Rash Action mark my words...
7. Do you have any kids?
There appears to be a spider that is quite convinced I am its mother, given it burst forth from my eyesocket I would surmise this means it is at least partially accurate.
8. What's your favorite food?
I am most fond of walnuts
9. Have you killed anyone?
Almost certainly, the magic had to be earthed somewhere and it was his own fault for trying to summon without a name or sifficient wardings. I can't say for certain as I only found a scorchmark...
10. Have any secrets?
I often feel that secrets are things that people don't tell others but wish others to find out about, frequently through mascochism. As such I do not have secrets, only things that I have not yet told people.
11. Do you love anyone?
No, nor ay intent to
12. What is your job?
I am a Witch, given you are askign me this question I consider it highly unlikely that you have the faintest idea of what that means so I will explain it in the simplest terms; It is like a Warlock, only without being bound to the feckless idiots in the brotherhood. Also somewhat more competant.

I assure you I am female

Garden
15. There's a person who's teasing you; what could you do?
It is very rare that people tease me for long shall we say.
16. Let’s say you have a person who you really care about but she/he doesn’t know about your feelings. How do you tell her/him?
You simply tell them. There is absolutely no point in dithering around about it.
17. What do you regret most in life?
Life is not without consequences, it is best nto to regret them, only to modify furture behaviour in light of them.
18. Do you like your maker?
Defining a maker is an interesting question, as it may refer to so many people and beings. As such I can say with confidence that I have either liked or respected anyone who could have ever been considered my maker.
19. What do you fear?
Fear is the refuge of the unprepared mind
1. What would your character kill for? What would they die for?
It is most unwise to declare you would die for something ahead of time as you have very little evidence on which to base this. I would, however, kill when it is needed, some people are too foolish to live and thus when a life is needed then they are the first to look to.
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why?
I consider it highly unlikely that I would ever consider lowering myself to joining the Warlocks or the Brotherhood
3. What do they dream about? [Either literal or figurative].
Absolutely nothing most usually. I prefer to concern myself with the here and now
4. What’s their biggest fear?
Once again, fear is the refuge of the unprepared. Justifiable concerns are better
5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why?
My focus, naturally.
6. What is their fondest memory?
I have some fond memories of earlier rituals and have a great pride in the one that killed anything under 2 inches long in the garden.

The scorchmark was... Shocking... I knew that it was the likely outcome but still was not quite expecting the severity

Mrs Saltmarsh taught me all I know about magic and witching.

Performing duties sucessfully.

I will admit a certain shame in finding the stupidity of others amusing.
11. What are their religious views?
Lay Morvanian.
12. What is their greatest strength?
I have an extremely sharp mind and a forthright nature
13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it?
Absolutely none, and I am most careful to avoid such. Others would say I act rashly and unwisely, I would say I do what I must given the circumstances I find myself in...
14. Who is the most important person in their life?
Mrs Saltmarsh
15. If they died or went missing, who would miss them most?
The plants would miss me I suspect.
16. How would they describe themselves?
Sharp, shrewd and does not suffer fools.

1. Your character is being announced at the Royal Ball by the most pompous, enthusiastic and long-winded Master of Ceremonies in recorded history. What do they declaim?

"I will return shortly"
