5. Where do you live now, and with whom?
Uhm, Budehec Castle. I don't know half the people here yet, there's a lot of them.
6. What is your occupation?
I was going to take a post as Commander of the Queen's Knights, but before that happened I wound up here... so I am not sure.
7. Write a full physical description of the character. (Third Person)
Long silver hair is Frey's defining trait. Let loose, it would fall nearly to his waist. Normally, even for special occaisions, he keeps it in a simple braid. Perhaps he also keeps it that way to show the earring he shares with his father. It is a single, long white claw hanging from his left earlobe. His facial features are almost elven in nature, though some baby fat still clings to give his face some roundness. Like his mother, his eyes are the color of the sky on a clear day. He also inherited her pale, almost porcelain skin, and though he is royalty he clearly does not just sit around all day. He has muscle tone, defined further by the struggles and trials of the past year. As for height, he has not yet fully grown but he could be considered average.
8. To which social class do you belong?
Royalty...
9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
Not that I know of... I hope I never develope any.

Right
11. What does your voice sound like?
I don't really know. Average? I know it isn't very deep.
12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
Lately it seems like all I say is 'oh' or 'I'm not sure.'
13. What do you have in your pockets?
I don't have pockets usually... unless you count my weapon holster.
14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
My aunt was always teasing me about going into things too quickly. Other than that... well no one has ever told me. I'll have to ask around.

My mother and father taking turns pushing me on a swing.

Yes.
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
From my mother and father, and from practicing with Lyon.
20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
My parents! They were both different but... well my mother was--is?-- a good Queen, the people loved her. My father fought to have her hand on his own, which is pretty impressive. Most nobles would get gladiators to do it for them. They always knew how to get things done the right way... even... toward the end.
21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
Pretty well. I love my family.
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Studying and practicing my fighting skills.
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
Uh... I don't know. I would have to ask someone else.
25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
I guess I was, but I didn't have friends like most people. Lyon is my best friend to this day, she's also my bodyguard. I got along with the Queen's Knights too but they weren't really friends since they were adults.
26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
I haven't ever... uhm... the weather is nice today.
27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?

Part 3: Past Influences
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
Making Lym safe, and the Sun Rune.
30. Who has had the most influence on you?

Getting my sister and her queendom back.
32. What is your greatest regret?
Being unable to save my aunt... a few other things too...
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
Evil?? I guess... not being able to protect those I love, when they protected me.
34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
No... when the Godwins took over they called me a rebel, but I wasn't rebelling against my sister. Just them. Oh don't get me started.
35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
A few times... twice I thought Lyon was going to die.
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
... it keeps happening. I get mistaken for a girl a lot.

38. What is your best memory?
Giving Lym a piggy-back ride with my parents.

Finding out my parents were dead... but more than that, I think finding out how they died. I'm sorry, Georg...
Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
Optimistic.
41. What is your greatest fear?
Well it didn't come true before, so I have to choose a new one. I suppose it would be any nobles getting ideas like the Godwins or Barows did again, especially since I won't be there to protect Lym.
42. What are your religious views?
At this point, I don't know anymore. I do think the True Runes are something to be respected-- and feared.
43. What are your political views?
UGH. I've had enough of politics for now.
44. What are your views on sex?
S..sex?? I agree with my aunt... I don't want there to be another succession war. So for everyone else it's fine I guess?
45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
Yes. ... I would rather not discuss it.

Doing your best no matter what and knowing you did.

I am pretty honest with myself... but I don't tell many people.
50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
I think I am a little prejudiced against nobles. I can't help looking at them and wondering if they're plotting a coup.

My county, family, Lyon...
Part 5: Relationships With Others

I try to be polite to everyone. It probably does change, it also depends on how they treat me.
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
Lym, because she's my little sister and a queen now.
55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
Most?? Oh that's tough. I can't pick just one person.
56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
I do have a lot of friends now, but my best friend is and always will be Lyon. There's too many people to name... but I'll say this: They are all good, strong people. As for Lyon... well, she's loyal and smart and outgoing. She's level-headed... I think of her like another sister.

Uh no... I already said why. I don't want there to be another succession war. Aunt Sialeeds and Aunt Haswar told me about the last one.
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
I consider myself lucky, there's quite a few of these: Lyon, Georg, Kyle, Lucretia... oh the list could go on and on.
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
Lyon. I know she would die for me. She already tried to, twice.
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth... I hope my family and friends would.
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
Mascal Godwin. I... understand in a way why he did what he did, the same as Gizel, but I can't forgive either of them for it. Mascal is the one who started the whole mess that caused so much death... and war... he was wrong. I think he knew it, too, but he did it anyway.
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
Depends on the situation.
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
It really depends.
68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?

93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
I would like to find out more about the Sindar. After meeting Zweig and others involved in researching their ruins I realized there's a lot to be learned from them. I would also like to help Lym however long she needs me, if I can get back.
