who will be your perfect partner?

"Perfect partner? Having a partner here means giving up your independence. My family needs me to be independent too much or me to even think about it." ~ Kerani

"Well, I really shouldn't think about it. I'm so busy, but, Waric, he's always there... I keep feeling a debt to him for saving my life. He says I saved his first, but..." ~ Lily.

"Gosh, it's possible to be more than friends with a guy? *laughs* But, you know me. It's always the best friend who you want as your boyfriend." ~Ariel

"There is one being out there for me. I believe he's in Japan, now. Holding up the island. Seeing him again will have to wait." ~Lina

What's your favourite fantasy animal?

"Favorite fantasy animal? *looks shocked* Only little girls and girlish boys have favorite fantasy animals. How could you ever think of such a thing as a favorite..." ~James

"A dragon is one of the best fantasy animals. They're manly. *tries to look "manly"* ~Thomas

"Well, I don't like dragons. They're mean and kill people! Unicorns have a really scary horn. There's no way I'd like them. Centaurs are kind of cute, but they wouldn't like me. *looks sad* Werewolves are just evil. I guess I don't have a favorite fantasy animal. ~Samatha

What is your biggest fear?

"Drowning...especially in the river. But any expanse of water is just...unbearable." ~Nendo

"Meaning nothing to anyone." ~Tey

"Completely failing at everything I've sworn to do well in." ~Luanna

"Letting down my father's memory." ~Darian

"That all my efforts against Presulis will have amounted to nothing." ~Masudo

"Going through life all by myself." ~Cura

"To lose my independence." ~Jyuna

"Getting married and having to settle down. No, thank you!" ~Karash.

"Being too weak to succeed in my plans." ~Idach

"Being a loser." ~Kiri

Who's the most embarrassing person you know?

"Me." ~the Raven

"The Raven." ~Penny

"Okay, Penny." ~the Raven

"I don't think there is anyone, actually. Sine, maybe?" ~Lily

"I don't know her, but Lily Cormack certainly embarrassed herself when I met her." ~Stefan

"Mistress Cadwgawn. She's, um, very vocal." ~Mister Bordello


Can you multi-task?

Julia-- "Of course. Saving the world means getting a lot done in little time."

Jaime-- "You flatter yourself, Julia. The world could manage without you. And yes, I think I can multi-task."

Piper-- "Are you implying that I can't multi-task? Hmph."

Samson-- "Uh, no, I don't think I'm very good at that. Now, what was I doing before I answered this question?"

Michael-- "Sure. It can't be that difficult, can it? I'm good at juggling different things."

What is your catch-phrase?

"Baka des ka..." Maya

"Geshias are not prostitutes but entertainers..." Iniyuki

"You do not fear Death! You do not fear Morality!!" the general council


"You're beautiful..." Janilima

"This is such a nuisance..." Tasuke


what is your idea on life?

"People work too little for what they have. And those who work get it all taken away so others don't have to work." ~ Kerani

"You always find who you trust when you're accused of something." ~Lily

"At one point, you just have to trust people." ~ Ariel

"Stay weary until they've proven themselves." ~Lina

"Stay hidden, know everything." ~Dyia

If given a choice between the high and low road, which one would you take?

"The one that keeps me alive." ~Nendo

"The one Nendo follows." ~Tey

"The high road, not only because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes you superior to your enemies." ~Luanna

"Whichever serves my situation. I tend to think I do more following of the low road, though not as much as Masudo does..." ~Darian

"I'll have to cheerfully agree with Lord Darian." ~Masudo

"I'd say I follow the high road, but really, I'd just follow whatever road helps Lord Darian the most." ~Cura

"The high road, at least according to what I define as 'the high road'. Which might not be society in general's." ~Jyuna

"Hahahaha, I don't know about this 'road' business, but I figure I should always do the right thing! Like Minhra in the Ballad of the Winding Paths, or Kaeth in the Ballad of the Hero of Hylaic [on and on and on]..." ~Karash

"My every action follows the highest road possible--that of the Protector." ~Idach

"Whatever, I'll do whatever I want to do!"~Kiri

Pick your poison.

Julia-- "I choose to politely decline all poisonous substances, thank you very much. I'm a bit too busy at the moment to spontaneously die."

Michael-- "Actually, Jules, I think it's slang. Maybe a metaphor for something deep and spiritual, even. Not sure what, though; maybe we should Google it?"

Jaime-- "Bottle o' whiskey, please."

Piper-- "Excuse me? Poison? What is wrong with you people?"

Samson-- "Uh. What? I think I misheard you."

Are you punctual?

"So long as my sister doesn't make me late." *rolls eyes* ~Kerani

"Usually, yes. If I haven't slept in or if Max hasn't distracted me." ~Lily

"If I'm not delayed in the few dozen things I'm doing." ~Ariel

"Yes." ~Lina

"I have no choice." ~Dyia

What do you fear the most?

"Getting in a romantic relationship with a human. That would be horrible. Thank goodness I can't control my mouth, so it'll probably end in a restraning order." ~Kendra

"Dying. No question." ~Zoe

If you could have grown up anywhere other than where you did, where would it be?

"Nowhere. You never been to Manchester, boyo?" ~the Raven

"Somewhere in the country, somewhere nice and peaceful, I think." ~Lily

"I'd like to have moved around more. So, spend a day in one town, a week in one city, a few days in a country village before going back to th city again. Never too far away from Camulus, though; I love that city."~Penny

"I would have liked to have been more settled. I joined the army too young, so spent the majority of my youth being posted from garrison to garrison." ~Roscoe

"I enjoyed my childhood as it was, though I did always enjoy our holidays in the country." ~Mina

"I like this city, I don't know why everyone says the country is better." ~Sine

"Somewhere civilised, not in the houses of back-stabbing, blood-sucking relatives. Elizabeth was the only good thing about my childhood." ~Stefan

"A town where there was a Sunday School. Would mean I didn't struggle so much with my letters now." ~Mister Bordello



What was your education like?

"Magic, knife-fighting, fashion, hiding things, staying invisible, how to control emotions... Most of it I taught myself. *Shrugs* The usual for a spy who spends all her time watching." ~Kerani

"Private tutors." ~Deven

"My mom taught me some woman stuff, but my dad and brother taught me farm work and how to survive in the wilderness." ~Lily

"Public school until we move. Then my mom taught me. Now, though, I'm learning from the fairies." ~Ariel

"I learned on the street." ~Dyia

What would it take for you to cross a tightrope five meters into the air?

"Something tangible, like food and money." ~Nendo

"If Nendo does it first." ~Tey

"Nothing." ~Luanna

"You have got to be kidding me." ~Darian

"Why not, Lord Darian? You can just use magic to protect yourself from a fall! As for me...hmm, it depends on the circumstances. The circumstances..." ~Masudo

"If Lord Darian orders me, but otherwise...I really wouldn't want to." ~Cura

"I'm a warrior, not an idiot." ~Jyuna

"Hahahaha, I'd do it if you paid me a lotta money! And promise not to laugh." ~Karash

"Other people may make fools of themselves. I will not." ~Idach

If the world must be destroyed, how would you like the destruction to be carried out?
