I'm gonna consider this written like a journal entry, as I will answer things with more truth/detail here than Faye would talking to just about anyone, but will still skirt over any major spoilers Faye probably wouldn't even write in her own diary for fear of someone discovering it.

SpoilerPart 1: The Basics
1.What is your full name?
"Faye Lunetta Rosalba Covington. That's assuming you're asking for what's on my birth certificate and not all the fancy titles."
2.Where and when were you born?
"I was born 24 years ago, I assume somewhere in the Black Shroud."
3.Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
"My mother was Selene Covington. She was a very uptight woman and over-bearing mother, but she was kind and I believe she meant well. Knowing what I know now, however, I can't help but wonder if she had poor taste in gentlemen. At any rate, my father was Nicholas Covington. He was a high-ranking member of the Order of the Twin Adder. I'm not sure what else to say about him, as it seems very little of what I thought to be the truth is accurate."
4.Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
"Unfortunately, I do seem to have something of the sort. I have a half-brother a few years older than me--I am not fond of him. I also seem to have another half-brother, but he's only a toddler and I have yet to meet him--and I would prefer to keep it that way. There's also Zularti. He's not a sibling by blood, but I lived with him for several years. He's the closest thing I have to a real brother."
5.Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
"I live in Camp Bronze Lake in a cozy little condo with Val. It's rather small, as there's only the two of us living there most of the time, but we spared no expense on the quality. Our guest room is sometimes occupied, and currently a Miss Cecilia Hunt--the bastard daughter of one of my family's former servants--is living there."
6.What is your occupation?
"I am an associate of the Order of the Twin Adder, the Support Saint of Harbingers of Dawn--though in truth, you can consider me the leader--and a general philanthropist and businesswoman."
7.Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
"At 5'8", I'm of above average height for my race and gender. A lady does not disclose her weight, but I will says it's relatively average. I'm a Hyur Midlander, and bear all the necessary traits of one. My hair is platinum, eyes are a powder blue, and skin is pale with no notable tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks. I were only the finest of clothing--and quite fashionably, if I do say so myself--and often of my own design or Val's. I prefer more formal attire in lighter colors, especially white--and skirts and dresses, no pants."
8.To which social class do you belong?
"The upper-class."
9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
"Casting extensive healing magic draws from my own pool of aether and can weaken me, long-term or short-term depending on the severity, but aside from that I am quite healthy."
10. Are you right- or left-handed?
"Right-handed."
11. What does your voice sound like?
"Feminine, obviously. It's rather medium-toned for a woman and I've been told it's quite pleasant. I do my best to speak clearly."
12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
"I'm quite used to giving my usual introduction spiel--'Lady Faye Covington, Support Saint of Harbingers of Dawn, at your service.' I also tend to have to spout 'Manners!' quite often, usually at Val."
13. What do you have in your pockets?
"I have a handkerchief, a pen, and a couple spare linkpearls for the company linkshell."
14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
"If manners themselves count as a mannerism, many are either impressed or annoyed by my attention to etiquette. My enthusiasm for tea is also probably notable, but can you really blame me?"
Part 2: Growing Up
15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
"It was rather dull when Zularti wasn't there, and full of nuisances when he was present. My parents were very strict and started educating me on all manner of things as young as possible with lessons from private tutors. Between our servants and all my parents associates, I met more people than I could remember names and faces. However, I have little to no one of my own age to associate with aside from Zul. My parents--my father especially--were often busy so I was often alone, left to amuse myself with reading or sewing."
16. What is your earliest memory?
"I remember trying to sneak into my father's office one evening after he'd been holed up in there all day. However, my mother caught me and led me away. She told me to leave him alone when he's in his office and not to interrupt his work because it was very important and I would distract him or make a mess of things."
17. How much schooling have you had?
"I had an extensive education covering all manner of topics, though it was all done through private tutors."
18. Did you enjoy school?
"I found the endless lessons rather boring, but I didn't mind much, as the alternative uses of my times weren't any more entertaining. I did at least enjoy learning most topics."
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
"Many things I learned as a child from my parents or in my lessons. Other things I've simply learned from cumulative life experience, and I learned conjury with the help of the members of the Conjurer's Guild."
20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
"As a child, my parents were my role models. I admired my mother's grace and beauty, and all the lovely things she could sew. I envied my father's calm courage and all the respect those around him gave him. As a young adult, I must admit, I admired Zularti's persistence and his spirit."
21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
"My mother nagged me constantly which caused me to resent her, but at the same time we were rather close despite frequent arguments. My father was often busy or away on business, but I was a daddy's girl no less and he could never tell me no, a fact I quickly noticed when I wished to get my way. I never really extensively interacted with any more distant family members. As for Zularti, we bickered a lot, but in the meaningless way that siblings do."
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
"I wanted to be a powerful conjurer, able to strike down my enemies and heal my allies."
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
"I generally opted to read or to practice sewing and embroidery."
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
"Much the same as I do now, I suppose, only more naive and immature."
25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
"I didn't have many friends. Whenever I rarely got to interact with others they did treat me quite kindly, but I imagine their parents demanded it of them. As for Zularti, he was... well, exactly as he is now. Naive, stupidly stubborn, eager to charge headfirst into danger. A general nuisance, but perhaps amusing and infectiously upbeat."
26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
"Oh my! A lady does not kiss and tell!"
27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
"No. I lost my virginity to my husband several cycles ago shortly after he had finally agreed to a monogamous relationship. I think he would have lost his sanity if I made him wait any longer."
28. If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
"I am a conjurer, but that's nothing terribly unusual. I simply wished to follow in my father's footsteps, and my family thought it would be valuable for me to learn."
Part 3: Past Influences
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
"The death of my family and the destruction of our home has probably changed the course of my life more than anything else. Though there have been some other notable events..."
30. Who has had the most influence on you?
"Probably Zularti, though my father and Val are close options."
31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
"Shaping Harbingers of Dawn into what it is today."
32. What is your greatest regret?
"Being too naive to figure out the truth sooner, and lacking the courage to rectify the situation, be it at my own expense..."
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
"Evil? I only do what is necessary for the greater good."
34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
"Not by Eorzean standards, though I seem to have committed some crimes against the Garlean Empire."
35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
"When I was younger, the night our estate was attacked."
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
"I would rather not divulge. It's not exactly embarrassing in the 'funny' way."
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
"I would have figured it out sooner, on my own, in time to prevent at least some of this from happening."
38. What is your best memory?
"Eloping with Val at Camp Bronze Lake."
39. What is your worst memory?
"Once more, I would rather not share."
Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
"Neither--I consider myself a realist, though others might consider my ambition to be optimistic."
41. What is your greatest fear?
"My greatest fear is that all the things I've done, even with the best intentions, will paint me as a villain."
42. What are your religious views?
"I respect the Twelve, but I place no great faith in any of them. I would rather do things for myself than to rely on the Gods. They haven't exactly performed any miracles for me so far."
43. What are your political views?
"My only particular view is that the only agenda there should be is one for the betterment of Eorzea."
44. What are your views on sex?
"It is a private thing, something not to be discussed or done in public, and something best left saved for a single person, particularly under the establishment of marriage or at least a serious, monogamous relationship."
45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
"Certainly. Killing is acceptable in the case of necessary self-defense, as well as in the case of a violent criminal who cannot or will not be reformed before more people are hurt. Killing is unacceptable under any other conditions."
46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
"Betraying someone who cares for him and faithfully believes in him."
47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
"I do, and I believe that I found mine."
48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
"Ambition, courage, wit, and a little bit of luck."
49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?
"Not very. I do not necessarily lie; rather, it's simply improper and unnecessary to divulge such things to most people. I keep most of my feelings and some of my thoughts to myself."
50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
"Only if the person in question has earned them. However, as a whole, I am not prejudiced toward any group at large without the members bearing personal responsibility."
51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
"I suppose there are plenty of things to do that would violate either etiquette or my personal morals. There's no special that particularly springs out to me, though. The best I can say is that I would never harm Val."
52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
"Val, Zularti, the free company, or Eorzea or as a whole. To be honest, I'd be willing to risk life and limb if necessary for anyone who deserves it."
Part 5: Relationships With Others
53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?
"Generally very polite, formal, and amiable enough, but I keep them at a distance. Also, I do not entirely hide when I find someone unpleasant. The better I know someone, the less formal I am and the less I keep them at a distance."
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
"Val. He is the love of my life, my husband until death, my best friend and the only person who truly knows me. I know he is utterly devoted to me and will do anything for me, and I would do the same for him. He's the only one who understands."
55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
"Zularti. While others may view him as a bumbling idiot--and they aren't necessary wrong--I can clearly see his courage and ambition, and how he inspires the same as others. He may not do much for the company he leads, but the happiness and hope he brings make him an important figurehead."
56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
"I suppose Val would be my best friend, but that seems to be a redundant thing to say of my spouse. The next option would be Zularti, but I've already described him quite enough. Aside from that, there are some people in the company I enjoy, but I've learned not to grow to close to them. Company members seem to come and go, or show their true colors in time."
57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person.
"Yes, Val, my husband--though as far as most others know, he's still my fiance. I can't say I ever imagined I'd marry a foul-mouthed, uneducated tribal Seeker. However, he is quite dashing and brave, and he can hold his own in a fight. He is fiercely loyal and deep down, he has a good heart."
58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
"Yes, once. We eloped, obviously. Though once I can find the perfect dress, a public ceremony will be held."
59. What do you look for in a potential lover?
"I looked for someone handsome, someone not cruel, someone who will pamper me, and someone with a strong will."
60. How close are you to your family?
"I am not exactly fond of what remains."
61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not?
"Not quite yet. Perhaps children may be in the future if we are able to conceive. However, for now, my life has far too much drama, danger, and work for a little one... not to mention, I'd like to enjoy my youth allow Val and I to make the most of our time together as newlyweds. For now, the company is as much of a family as I have, but family hasn't been very good to me in the past."
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
"Val. If he was unable, Zularti. And if both unable, the company. And if I had none of those options... I'd turn to my brother or my father, assuming they aren't what's fueling my need of help."
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
"I trust Val, because I know he loves me and would risk anything for me or do anything I ask of him. And after all, I did first hire him as a bodyguard. I know he has the desire and the physical capability to keep me safe, and he's proven it more than once. I trust Zularti, as well. I know he'd keep me safe, as he has in the past, and I know he would risk life and limb for anyone in need."
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
"Val would. I'm not entirely certain of anyone else."
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
"A certain Voidtouched creature, and the masked man in its company. Let's just say it's personal. Beyond that, my father and my half-brother... that's personal, too."
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
"I avoid an unnecessary conflict, but I will argue anything that deserves it. I don't shy away from confrontation, I only avoid it out of politeness when it's not needed."
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
"Generally, yes. Sometimes I slip into the role of an observer or a wallflower, but it's more out of having little to contribute rather than shyness or passiveness."
68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
"Yes, it's invigorating even if sometimes exhausting at the same time. I do quite like socializing--the issue is simply finding people who aren't insufferable to socialize with."
69. Do you care what others think of you?
"I do hope others think well of me. However, I will not refrain from doing what is right to raise anyone's opinion of me. I've learned that contrary to what we hear in tales of heroes and saviors, doing the right thing often earns you no praise, and all too often even contempt."
Part 6: Likes And Dislikes
70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
"I enjoy working for the company, planning events, sewing, reading, and drinking tea."
71. What is your most treasured possession?
"The ring Val gave me. It's just a simple metal band, but it is indeed the thought that counts."
72. What is your favorite color?Â
"White. Powder blue, red, pink, and gold are also quite nice."
73. What is your favorite food?
"I am not too picky when it comes to food, but I prefer lighter fare, though I do admittedly have a small sweet tooth for baked goods."
74. What, if anything, do you like to read?
"I read a bit of everything, from tales of fantasy and romance to non-fiction works of science, philosophy, history, and anything between."
75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
"I enjoy art and classical music."
76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit?
"I enjoy a glass of wine every now and then, but that's all. It's custom to drink socially and it does help me unwind. I have no need to quit as I do not overdo it; I've never even been truly intoxicated."
77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
"Generally, doing work for the company, as that's the day we formally meet. The meeting takes only a couple bells, but for me the work tends to be an all-day affair. If I have spare time and energy, I often go out for dinner with Val, but otherwise we spend some quality time at home relaxing."
78. What makes you laugh?
"Why, comedic things, of course! Generally, I suppose I tend to laugh at another expense. Most often, I probably laugh at Val."
79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
"Poor manners."
80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
"The same things I usually do in my idle time--sew, read, or fill out paperwork."
81. How do you deal with stress?
"I usually let Val pamper me, most often by cooking me a nice dinner and preparing a bubble bath, and then... well."
82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
"I generally have a plan, but sometimes when angered, I act rashly."
83. What are your pet peeves?
"People with bad manners and people with no backbone."
Part 7: Self Images And Etc.
84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?
"I wake up in the morning and ready myself for the day, then enjoy a leisurely breakfast. I then venture to the company estate and go to my office to catch up on paperwork and help anyone who has need of me. Then, I eat lunch, and often meet someone over the meal. Then I finish my errands for the day and either return home or spend my evenings in one the of the major cities relaxing and meeting people. After that, I enjoy my night with Val and catch some sleep for the next day. It's a bit irksome if the routine is interrupted, as it tends to mean some work is being neglected, but I'm used to the disruptions and keep things flexible."
85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
"My confidence and my drive."
86. What is your greatest weakness?
"A fear of being considered weak."
87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
"I would be less of a coward."
88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
"Extroverted, generally. I'm not usually overly chatty, but I'm not shy in the least, and I do like to get out and about and make new social ties."
89. Are you generally organized or messy?
"I'm very organized, though I admit my desk often does a get a bit messy."
90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
"I am good at: leading, smooth-talking, and achieving what I want. I am bad at: cooking, physical combat, taking 'no' as an answer."
91. Do you like yourself?
"I'm mostly indifferent."
92. What are your reasons for being an adventurer (or doing the strange and heroic things that RPG characters do)? Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public? (If so, detail both sets of reasons…)
"I want to help Eorzea. I let others believe it's out of altruism, but truthfully, I don't care for most people. I want Eorzea to be a better place for the sake of the few people here who I care for and who deserve it, and I want to better Eorzea simply because that's Zularti's wish and I want to help him achieve it. I want to play my own hand in protecting Eorzea because I want the power, respect, and glory that come with it, though I'd never admit that to most people."
93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
"My goal is to make a dent in the Garlean Empire."
94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
"I see myself happily married, hopefully leading a more calm and peaceful life, and perhaps settling down to raise a family."
95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
"I want to die making a difference and doing something worthwhile; saving someone or better yet, spiting my enemies."
96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
"I would let the people I care for know how much they mean to me, I would come clean with the truth, and I would do what I can to sabotage the Garlean Empire."
97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
"I only wish to be remember as someone who did good in this world; not as a traitor or a villain."
98. What three words best describe your personality?
"Ambitious, clever, and valiant."
99. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
"Stuck up, charming, and confident--though you probably won't get all three out of the same person."
100. If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character? (You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your advice…)
DEAR MISS LADY PRINCESS COVINGTON,
You should know it's impossible I take a "proper" tone with you but ironically, it seems you better heed people who couldn't act proper if their lives depended on it, so maybe this will be more effective, anyway. You're a stubborn brat, but there's more good in you than you know--just embrace that fact.
Sincerely,
Your creator lady person.
P.S. I'm sorry for occasionally making your life suck a lot. IblameitallonZul.

As for Zularti, he was... well, exactly as he is now. Naive, stupidly stubborn, eager to charge headfirst into danger. A general nuisance, but perhaps amusing and infectiously upbeat."
26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
"Oh my! A lady does not kiss and tell!"
27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
"No. I lost my virginity to my husband several cycles ago shortly after he had finally agreed to a monogamous relationship. I think he would have lost his sanity if I made him wait any longer."
28. If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
"I am a conjurer, but that's nothing terribly unusual. I simply wished to follow in my father's footsteps, and my family thought it would be valuable for me to learn."
Part 3: Past Influences
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
"The death of my family and the destruction of our home has probably changed the course of my life more than anything else. Though there have been some other notable events..."
30. Who has had the most influence on you?
"Probably Zularti, though my father and Val are close options."
31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
"Shaping Harbingers of Dawn into what it is today."
32. What is your greatest regret?
"Being too naive to figure out the truth sooner, and lacking the courage to rectify the situation, be it at my own expense..."
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
"Evil? I only do what is necessary for the greater good."
34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
"Not by Eorzean standards, though I seem to have committed some crimes against the Garlean Empire."
35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
"When I was younger, the night our estate was attacked."
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
"I would rather not divulge. It's not exactly embarrassing in the 'funny' way."
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
"I would have figured it out sooner, on my own, in time to prevent at least some of this from happening."
38. What is your best memory?
"Eloping with Val at Camp Bronze Lake."
39. What is your worst memory?
"Once more, I would rather not share."
Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
"Neither--I consider myself a realist, though others might consider my ambition to be optimistic."
41. What is your greatest fear?
"My greatest fear is that all the things I've done, even with the best intentions, will paint me as a villain."
42. What are your religious views?
"I respect the Twelve, but I place no great faith in any of them. I would rather do things for myself than to rely on the Gods. They haven't exactly performed any miracles for me so far."
43. What are your political views?
"My only particular view is that the only agenda there should be is one for the betterment of Eorzea."
44. What are your views on sex?
"It is a private thing, something not to be discussed or done in public, and something best left saved for a single person, particularly under the establishment of marriage or at least a serious, monogamous relationship."
45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
"Certainly. Killing is acceptable in the case of necessary self-defense, as well as in the case of a violent criminal who cannot or will not be reformed before more people are hurt. Killing is unacceptable under any other conditions."
46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
"Betraying someone who cares for him and faithfully believes in him."
47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
"I do, and I believe that I found mine."
48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
"Ambition, courage, wit, and a little bit of luck."
49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?
"Not very. I do not necessarily lie; rather, it's simply improper and unnecessary to divulge such things to most people. I keep most of my feelings and some of my thoughts to myself."
50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
"Only if the person in question has earned them. However, as a whole, I am not prejudiced toward any group at large without the members bearing personal responsibility."
51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
"I suppose there are plenty of things to do that would violate either etiquette or my personal morals. There's no special that particularly springs out to me, though. The best I can say is that I would never harm Val."
52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
"Val, Zularti, the free company, or Eorzea or as a whole. To be honest, I'd be willing to risk life and limb if necessary for anyone who deserves it."
Part 5: Relationships With Others
53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?
"Generally very polite, formal, and amiable enough, but I keep them at a distance. Also, I do not entirely hide when I find someone unpleasant. The better I know someone, the less formal I am and the less I keep them at a distance."
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
"Val. He is the love of my life, my husband until death, my best friend and the only person who truly knows me. I know he is utterly devoted to me and will do anything for me, and I would do the same for him. He's the only one who understands."
55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
"Zularti. While others may view him as a bumbling idiot--and they aren't necessary wrong--I can clearly see his courage and ambition, and how he inspires the same as others. He may not do much for the company he leads, but the happiness and hope he brings make him an important figurehead."
56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
"I suppose Val would be my best friend, but that seems to be a redundant thing to say of my spouse. The next option would be Zularti, but I've already described him quite enough. Aside from that, there are some people in the company I enjoy, but I've learned not to grow to close to them. Company members seem to come and go, or show their true colors in time."
57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person.
"Yes, Val, my husband--though as far as most others know, he's still my fiance. I can't say I ever imagined I'd marry a foul-mouthed, uneducated tribal Seeker. However, he is quite dashing and brave, and he can hold his own in a fight. He is fiercely loyal and deep down, he has a good heart."
58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
"Yes, once. We eloped, obviously. Though once I can find the perfect dress, a public ceremony will be held."
59. What do you look for in a potential lover?
"I looked for someone handsome, someone not cruel, someone who will pamper me, and someone with a strong will."
60. How close are you to your family?
"I am not exactly fond of what remains."
61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not?
"Not quite yet. Perhaps children may be in the future if we are able to conceive. However, for now, my life has far too much drama, danger, and work for a little one... not to mention, I'd like to enjoy my youth allow Val and I to make the most of our time together as newlyweds. For now, the company is as much of a family as I have, but family hasn't been very good to me in the past."
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
"Val. If he was unable, Zularti. And if both unable, the company. And if I had none of those options... I'd turn to my brother or my father, assuming they aren't what's fueling my need of help."
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
"I trust Val, because I know he loves me and would risk anything for me or do anything I ask of him. And after all, I did first hire him as a bodyguard. I know he has the desire and the physical capability to keep me safe, and he's proven it more than once. I trust Zularti, as well. I know he'd keep me safe, as he has in the past, and I know he would risk life and limb for anyone in need."
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
"Val would. I'm not entirely certain of anyone else."
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
"A certain Voidtouched creature, and the masked man in its company. Let's just say it's personal. Beyond that, my father and my half-brother... that's personal, too."
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
"I avoid an unnecessary conflict, but I will argue anything that deserves it. I don't shy away from confrontation, I only avoid it out of politeness when it's not needed."
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
"Generally, yes. Sometimes I slip into the role of an observer or a wallflower, but it's more out of having little to contribute rather than shyness or passiveness."
68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
"Yes, it's invigorating even if sometimes exhausting at the same time. I do quite like socializing--the issue is simply finding people who aren't insufferable to socialize with."
69. Do you care what others think of you?
"I do hope others think well of me. However, I will not refrain from doing what is right to raise anyone's opinion of me. I've learned that contrary to what we hear in tales of heroes and saviors, doing the right thing often earns you no praise, and all too often even contempt."
Part 6: Likes And Dislikes
70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
"I enjoy working for the company, planning events, sewing, reading, and drinking tea."
71. What is your most treasured possession?
"The ring Val gave me. It's just a simple metal band, but it is indeed the thought that counts."
72. What is your favorite color?Â
"White. Powder blue, red, pink, and gold are also quite nice."
73. What is your favorite food?
"I am not too picky when it comes to food, but I prefer lighter fare, though I do admittedly have a small sweet tooth for baked goods."
74. What, if anything, do you like to read?
"I read a bit of everything, from tales of fantasy and romance to non-fiction works of science, philosophy, history, and anything between."
75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
"I enjoy art and classical music."
76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit?
"I enjoy a glass of wine every now and then, but that's all. It's custom to drink socially and it does help me unwind. I have no need to quit as I do not overdo it; I've never even been truly intoxicated."
77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
"Generally, doing work for the company, as that's the day we formally meet. The meeting takes only a couple bells, but for me the work tends to be an all-day affair. If I have spare time and energy, I often go out for dinner with Val, but otherwise we spend some quality time at home relaxing."
78. What makes you laugh?
"Why, comedic things, of course! Generally, I suppose I tend to laugh at another expense. Most often, I probably laugh at Val."
79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
"Poor manners."
80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
"The same things I usually do in my idle time--sew, read, or fill out paperwork."
81. How do you deal with stress?
"I usually let Val pamper me, most often by cooking me a nice dinner and preparing a bubble bath, and then... well."
82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
"I generally have a plan, but sometimes when angered, I act rashly."
83. What are your pet peeves?
"People with bad manners and people with no backbone."
Part 7: Self Images And Etc.
84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?
"I wake up in the morning and ready myself for the day, then enjoy a leisurely breakfast. I then venture to the company estate and go to my office to catch up on paperwork and help anyone who has need of me. Then, I eat lunch, and often meet someone over the meal. Then I finish my errands for the day and either return home or spend my evenings in one the of the major cities relaxing and meeting people. After that, I enjoy my night with Val and catch some sleep for the next day. It's a bit irksome if the routine is interrupted, as it tends to mean some work is being neglected, but I'm used to the disruptions and keep things flexible."
85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
"My confidence and my drive."
86. What is your greatest weakness?
"A fear of being considered weak."
87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
"I would be less of a coward."
88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
"Extroverted, generally. I'm not usually overly chatty, but I'm not shy in the least, and I do like to get out and about and make new social ties."
89. Are you generally organized or messy?
"I'm very organized, though I admit my desk often does a get a bit messy."
90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
"I am good at: leading, smooth-talking, and achieving what I want. I am bad at: cooking, physical combat, taking 'no' as an answer."
91. Do you like yourself?
"I'm mostly indifferent."
92. What are your reasons for being an adventurer (or doing the strange and heroic things that RPG characters do)? Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public? (If so, detail both sets of reasons…)
"I want to help Eorzea. I let others believe it's out of altruism, but truthfully, I don't care for most people. I want Eorzea to be a better place for the sake of the few people here who I care for and who deserve it, and I want to better Eorzea simply because that's Zularti's wish and I want to help him achieve it. I want to play my own hand in protecting Eorzea because I want the power, respect, and glory that come with it, though I'd never admit that to most people."
93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
"My goal is to make a dent in the Garlean Empire."
94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
"I see myself happily married, hopefully leading a more calm and peaceful life, and perhaps settling down to raise a family."
95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
"I want to die making a difference and doing something worthwhile; saving someone or better yet, spiting my enemies."
96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
"I would let the people I care for know how much they mean to me, I would come clean with the truth, and I would do what I can to sabotage the Garlean Empire."
97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
"I only wish to be remember as someone who did good in this world; not as a traitor or a villain."
98. What three words best describe your personality?
"Ambitious, clever, and valiant."
99. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
"Stuck up, charming, and confident--though you probably won't get all three out of the same person."
100. If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character? (You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your advice…)
DEAR MISS LADY PRINCESS COVINGTON,
You should know it's impossible I take a "proper" tone with you but ironically, it seems you better heed people who couldn't act proper if their lives depended on it, so maybe this will be more effective, anyway. You're a stubborn brat, but there's more good in you than you know--just embrace that fact.
Sincerely,
Your creator lady person.
P.S. I'm sorry for occasionally making your life suck a lot. IblameitallonZul.
