Ok this took me forever to finally finish, but it's done. ICly there are a LOT of questions Dustyn would never answer ... so ya ... lol

A small Miqo'te walks into the tavern shaking rain water from her hair as she sat down stiffly across from the interviewer. She gave a tight smile, hoping that this favor would now make her and Nova even.

"Miss Juniper Rosenburg reporting for duty . . . sir!"

"Uh . . . not sure exactly where . . . But I know it's somewhere near the forests of Gridania at least! And that was only 15 cycles ago, mind you!"

3.Who are/were your parents?  (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
"Oh, man, my parents? Hah! I swear, they're crazy! Probably where I got my crazy from! Not that kind of crazy though, mind you! Anyway, those two are definately, uhh . . . What's the word? Eccentric? Yeah, yeah! That's it! My dad's always been pretty lazy, even if he does work quite a bit at his job! Oh, what's his job, you ask? He's a cart repairman. Not too exciting, if you ask me! Oh, and my mom's just a simple house-wife, by the by! . . . Though I did hear she used to be pretty dang good with a bow an' arrow! Oh, my dad's name is Lionel, and my mother Cerena, by the by! Odd ones, them, givin' up on their tribes, movin' away, an' changin' their names like that! Then again, I do suppose they didn't really get along with the other Miqo'te in their village as much, so I kinda get it, but still . . ."

4.Do you have any siblings?  What are/were they like?
"Yep! Three of 'em! And I would be the oldest, if it weren't for my big brother, Theo! And he's not even around that much! Just what does that big oak think he's doing . . . Doing all that mercenary work and barely stoppin' by to see lil' ol' me! Not that he's not totally cool, 'cause he definately is! He taught me how to wield a sword an' everythin'! The little ones are pretty cool too, though! My little brother and little sister, Kit and Kate, respectively! I think they even get into more antics and mischief than I do, and that's saying a lot!"

5.Where do you live now, and with whom?  Describe the place and the person/people.
"Nowhere! Wait, no, that's not what I meant! Everywhere? No, that doesn't work either! . . . Uh, well for now, I guess you can call me somewhat of a lone wanderer, I guess."

My hair's kind of a bob, I guess, with like a couple short braids out in front, and a teeny lil' ponytail on the tip of my head! My fur and stuff is all pitch-black! Well . . . except my hair does have some red in it . . . But that don't matter! Oh, and eyes are super weird! Like, one's a bright green, right? But the other one's bright red! It's pretty cool though, not gonna lie! And, I just kinda dress in whatever's comfortable and looks neat! I ain't got no tattoos, but I like to put some face-paint on my cheeks! Pretty angular, too! I'd say I'm a natural at it!"

8.To which social class do you belong?
". . . Uhh, is "Adventurer" a social class?"

9.Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?

Sometimes, you really need to slow it down. Stop, and just think about everyone around you, and try not to get in as much trouble. I know you mean well, but sometimes you get a little self-absorbed, and that's when you really need to just calm down and think, alright? And don't forget that while adventures in and of themselves are fun, they'll get boring and sad, if you don't have anyway to share them with, so make sure to always be as thoughtful as you can with others, okay? Oh, and try not to get all flustered if you ever get in a romantic situation, or discussing that kind of stuff platonically, alright?

((Uh, how do you put things in a spoiler tag??))
