Part 1: The Basics
1. What is your full name?
"My name is Sounsyy Mirke."
2. Where and when were you born?
"I was born on the Eleventh Sun of the Sixth Astral Moon in the Year 1546." Sounsyy pauses, "And I am a daughter of Ala Mhigo."
3. Who were your parents?
"Oh, I- don't normally speak of them. But. My father was a proud Highlander Lancer of Ala Mhigo. His name was Mirke Regarde, but he never allowed me to call him by his name. Dad or Daddy. My mother was a Seeker of the Sun belonging to the Raptor Tribe. But I do not think she ever felt truly at home there. R'nalhie Whayko was my mother's name. I know she fell in love with dad and that is why she left the tribe. He brought her to Ala Mhigo where I was born. Dad would always call mom 'Nalhie' and her name was always followed by a kiss."
4. Do you have any siblings?
Sounsyy remained silent for along while. She swallowed hard as if a there were a lump in her throat that she couldn't get down. After many minutes she knew the question could not be dodge so she answered, "Sophie."
5. Where do you live now, and with whom?
"Limsa," Sounsyy said, glad to be changing subjects, "I live with my close friend Ceirtette. We moved there after several years of bloody struggle and failing spirits. Ceirtette says the sea breeze makes her forget. I don't know what it does for me. Maybe its peaceful. I sound resentful of the place but I ain't. There've been many fond memories there. Me and Ceirtette and Dasil, her husband. It's only one story though an' just one bed. I sleep in my chair, which suits me just fine. I like sleeping that way now."
6. What is your occupation?
"I was a captain, but they're all gone now. It's just me. Me and Ceirtette. So I'm not a captain now."
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.
"Pardon?" Sounsyy takes a moment to examine herself. She feels uncomfortable with the request, but remains compliant. "I'm five fulms even. I blame my mother. I weigh a little above average for my size I guess? I'm not as skinny as I used to be. Um, let's see. I've told you I'm a Seeker of the Sun. I guess I partly am kin to the Raptor Tribe, but Mom didn't name me of the Tribe."
"Uhm, my hair?" Sounsyy reaches behind her to run her fingers through her small ponytail. "My hair is naturally this light brown. Looks like dry dirt in the wrong light I think. But when the sun shines through it the hairs turn red and I just can't bring myself to dye it. It's getting a little long, I've been growing it out. I try to keep the bangs pulled up and back, but the breeze does whatever it wants with my hair. Is why I keep most of it in a ponytail most times."
"My eyes are a light green if you can't see them. But Ceirtette says they look more blue in the ocean. I think she just imagines my eyes are her color. What else? I have the tribal marks of my kin on my face, three stripes below my eyes. And then my dress and then I will be done with describing myself? I seem to always feel cold. And I feel most comfortable wearing tight clothing. So an alpine jacket and leggings and thighboots. If I am to enter battle, I do it in full plate mail, breastplate over my jacket, cobalt sabatons and gauntlets. In battle there can be no chances."
8. To which social class do you belong?
Sounsyy lets a loud fit of laughter escape before catching herself. "I imagine," she says once shes composed herself, "that I am sorted amongst the lowest. I live in a home that is not mine and have gil with which there is nothing worth buying that I could afford. What class is that?"
9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
"Not to my knowledge, no."
10. Are you right- or left-handed?
"I wield sword and spear and pen with my right, but I can do any other task as good with my left. What would you call that?"
11. What does your voice sound like?
"I... what? Sorry? I don't really know how to answer that. It's my voice. It's not high pitched or anythin, and it's not too low. I guess an in between? Gravelly, booze soaked?" Sounsyy chuckled at the last bit.
12. What words or phrases do you use very frequently?
"I don't know. I don't really pay that much attention I guess. Maybe, 'I guess'?"
13. What do you have in your pockets?
"I'm sorry, but these leggings don't have pockets," Sounsyy said, sounding a little disappointed by the fact. Perhaps she was just realizing this for the first time.
14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
"Oh Ceirtette tells me I have so many! I often bite my bottom left side of my lip for some reason. She says I'm always running my hand over my ponytail or rubbing the edge of my ear between my fingers. It annoys her but I barely notice when I'm doing it."

Part 2: Growing Up
15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
"I... I would say that in my early years I was happy. I was too young to understand that my home was falling apart around me. I grew up a lot that day- the day the Garleans came. I cannot say that my childhood was very happy after that."
16. What is your earliest memory?
Sounsyy thought for a moment, opened her mouth to say something, then closed it. She bit her bottom lip, noticed, then said, "I think I was five or six summers. Daddy came home late in the night. He hid his face from me and his hand was caked in blood. Mom rushed him into the other room."
17. How much schooling have you had?
"This is embarrassing. I went to an academy in Ala Mhigo until I was ten. After that... I guess there wasn't much time for schooling. I think the closest thing to an education after that was being taught the ways of the sword in the Coliseum. I had always been self sufficient, up to that point. But I would never have survived the Bloodsands on my own. Why am I telling you this?"
18. Did you enjoy school?
"I don't really remember school in Ala Mhigo. I'm sure I didn't though. I remember thinking a lot of boys."
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
"I had to teach myself to use Daddy's partisan. I wasn't so much skilled as I was lucky. But luck wasn't enough in the Bloodsands. So I learned to wield spear and blade or fall. Everything I know came from a burning urgency to survive. I often regret never learning an art. Or to be eloquent."
20. Growing up did you have any role models?
"I guess I always looked up to Dad. I like to think I am like him."
21. While growing up, how did you get along with other members of your family?
"I loved my family very much. That's really all I can say about it."
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
"Um, I don't know. I guess I had always wanted to be a lancer like Daddy."
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
"Beating boys with sticks," Sounsyy laughed loudly. Her face turned a little red as she laughed. "Ceirtette and I used to pretend we were mighty lancers. We would try to spar with sticks twice our size that had washed up along the river. The Highlander boys would come around on occasion and we would chase them off with our 'lances."
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
"I'm sorry. I don't really know how to answer this. I was a child. I acted as a child acts."
25. As a child, were you popular?
"I had friends in Ala Mhigo. I was no more awkward than any other child. So I guess so."
26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
Sounsyy blushed a little. She could see already where this was heading. "Nathaniel," she said, "he was a foot-soldier with me when the first resistances tried to take back Ala Mhigo. I was twelve. He was... older. And I remember he died not long after. A bullet."
27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
"No, I am not," Sounsyy said. Her eyes gazed off into some distant corner. "I was a young girl in an army of men and women who were all just as lonely and desperate as I was. I do not blame them. I encouraged many of them. But I have grown since then."
28. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
"I don't know? I'm just a Miqo'te and I guess everything that comes with that. I can wield a spear as well as most and a sword better than some. It was learn or die. Or let the ones I care about die..."
15. How would you describe your childhood in general?

Part 3: Past Influences
29. What do you consider to be the most important event of your life so far?
"The day Ala Mhigo fell, I saw my dad die and I took my first life. I can't think of a time that has changed my life more. Everything seems to circle back to that moment."
30. Who has had the most influence on you?
"I always wanted to be like Daddy. And I like to think I am like him. But I think Ceirtette has changed my life for the better. She has always been there and I owe her my life. Without her, I would not be here."
31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Sounsyy chuckled a little to herself. "Making it this far," she said.
32. What is your greatest regret?
"I have... many. But above all, I regret abandoning my sister."
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
"Are you sure you want to know that? I don't think even I wish to acknowledge those things. My answer will be the same as my last."
34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
"When I was fifteen summers, I lived among the Ala Mhigan refugees in the Ul'dahn slums and back-alleys. I used to prey on passerby's purses until one day I grew desperate. I tried to steal from one of the Sultansworn. I was caught and imprisoned. It was then I learned a prisoner could buy their freedom on the Bloodsands."
35. When was the last time you were the most frightened?
"I am always frightened. It never really leaves me. But I have not panicked since Ceirtette was struck down on the battlefield and I knew there was no help coming. Moments such as those I believe are the most taxing on ones senses. The desperation of being able to do nothing."
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
"I don't get embarrassed often. I guess, I felt embarrassed the first time I slept with a man."
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
"You can't change the past. If I could change the past, who knows where I would be. Would Ceirtette have met Dasil and married? Would it have made me a better person?"
38. What is your best memory?
"Watching Ceirtette marry. She was so happy it was as if nothing tragic had ever touched her. It was beautiful to see that. I could not recall a time she had ever been that carefree since we were young children."
39. What is your worst memory?
"Mm. Sometimes at night I see my daddy die in my dreams. Most times I remember those painful months spent in Gridania that followed. I do not know which is worse."

Part 4: Beliefs and Opinions
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
"Basically," Sounsyy says sarcastically, "I like to hope for the best. It's what has kept me going I guess."
41. What is your greatest fear?
"I'll be perfectly honest, the sight of large beasts petrifies me."
42. What are your religious views?
"I don't know. I guess the Twelve watch over us, but I don't suspect they listen to me."
43. What are your political views?
"I don't worry with politics. I know what must be done, and that is all that concerns me."
44. What are your views on sex?
Sounsyy rolled her eyes and gave a short exhalation. "This again. It's just something that winds up happening in the night when words become superfluous."
45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
"I took my first life at ten summers. At the time I had so many emotions boiling within me that what I had done did not weigh against them. The second kill was harder. Much, much harder. But never have I sunk so low that it was never them or me."
46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
"Man does many evil things. But the moment we place them in hierarchy is the moment we allow evil to happen. We are all guilty of it, of course."
47. Do you believe in true love?
"No. At least I have not found a love like my parents'." Sounsyy smiled absently, "And if there is a man or woman just for me, they must be one mess."
48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
"I count still breathing at the end of the day a success. Perhaps it is not much of a life, but I know not how to plan for higher goals."
49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings?
"Is it not a little late to ask this?" Sounsyy giggled a little, "I have been more or less outright. I have no inclination as to why. Maybe there are secrets that seek the light. Maybe I'm tired of holding them prisoner."
50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
"I have a general distaste for Ul'dah and its people. For obvious reasons."
51. Is there anything you refuse to do under any circumstances? Why?
"There are some foods I make a habit of avoiding. Some men too. But no, not generally."
52. Who or what would you die for?
"Ceirtette. Ala Mhigo. Sophie... I think the list would be shorter if you asked what I would not risk my life for? But Thal wishes not for my company it would seem."
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?

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?
"I'm not usually so forthcoming with strangers. With men. Let me eat my meal without prying if I come 'ere often or do I really know how to use this sword on my hip." Sounsyy takes a minute to collect her thoughts, "I guess I don't make friends easy anymore. I try to keep the ones I do got."
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
"Ceirtette. She's put up with me all her life. I don't think I could really find another who'd want that job."
55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
"Before the Calamity, I had a Commander, Iyrnlahz Sylbahctsyn, who stuck his neck out for me, a common foot soldier. He talked to me like one person does to another, even before handing me rank. I respect that in a leader."
56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
Sounsyy smiles, "I've had a few over the years. Ceirtette has always been there. Dasil, Margot, Himalanka, Koenybrael, J'oraab. Most of them are gone now though."
57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person.
"I've never given any thought to marriage in a long time. I don't think I'd make good 'wife' material."
58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
"I guess so? I'm not sure it could count. I guess I felt for Nathaniel. Maybe because he was my first?"
59. What do you look for in a potential lover?
"Hmph, I'm not looking for anyone. I lost that desire before the Calamity."
60. How close are you to your family?
"Considering. Not close at all."
61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not?
Sounsyy smiles absently, her eyes becoming a little watery. "I would've liked to have had children. In a better world. I would have liked for my children to play in the fields of Gyr Abania where I played. I would have liked to raise my children in peace. But such dreams are far from fruition and I'm past my prime."
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
"Whatever friend is by my side. I trust them, or they are not my friends."
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
"Likewise, my friends are there for me. My person to my right shields me, as I shield them."
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
"Hehe, I think most'd be relieved Thal finally took me home. I may be a grizzly veteran, but I've got years still to come. Gods help me."
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
"He's long dead. He lost his head, so to speak. And I won't dignify his ever having existed any longer."
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
"I guess I'm a bit fiery tempered. I don't let others tread across me just for!"
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
Sounsyy laughs, "That's what a Captain does. That's why they gave me this rank, because I was doing the job anyways."
68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not?
She shrugs and runs her hands through her hair. "They're whatever. Easier to manage if anything."
69. Do you care what others think of you?
Sounsyy hand has started playing with the tip of her left ear. She has yet to realize she's doing this. "I'm sure people think many things. About me, I could really care less. Insult Ala Mhigans or my home. Yer asking fer trouble."
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?
"I'm not usually so forthcoming with strangers. With men. Let me eat my meal without prying if I come 'ere often or do I really know how to use this sword on my hip." Sounsyy takes a minute to collect her thoughts, "I guess I don't make friends easy anymore. I try to keep the ones I do got."
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
"Ceirtette. She's put up with me all her life. I don't think I could really find another who'd want that job."
55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
"Before the Calamity, I had a Commander, Iyrnlahz Sylbahctsyn, who stuck his neck out for me, a common foot soldier. He talked to me like one person does to another, even before handing me rank. I respect that in a leader."
56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
Sounsyy smiles, "I've had a few over the years. Ceirtette has always been there. Dasil, Margot, Himalanka, Koenybrael, J'oraab. Most of them are gone now though."
57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person.
"I've never given any thought to marriage in a long time. I don't think I'd make good 'wife' material."
58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
"I guess so? I'm not sure it could count. I guess I felt for Nathaniel. Maybe because he was my first?"
59. What do you look for in a potential lover?
"Hmph, I'm not looking for anyone. I lost that desire before the Calamity."
60. How close are you to your family?
"Considering. Not close at all."
61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not?
Sounsyy smiles absently, her eyes becoming a little watery. "I would've liked to have had children. In a better world. I would have liked for my children to play in the fields of Gyr Abania where I played. I would have liked to raise my children in peace. But such dreams are far from fruition and I'm past my prime."
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
"Whatever friend is by my side. I trust them, or they are not my friends."
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why?
"Likewise, my friends are there for me. My person to my right shields me, as I shield them."
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
"Hehe, I think most'd be relieved Thal finally took me home. I may be a grizzly veteran, but I've got years still to come. Gods help me."
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
"He's long dead. He lost his head, so to speak. And I won't dignify his ever having existed any longer."
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
"I guess I'm a bit fiery tempered. I don't let others tread across me just for!"

Part 6: Likes and Dislikes
70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
Sounsyy laughs. "Is drinking considered a hobby? I'm pretty religious about it. I like walking the fields near Lominsan beaches, I guess. They have gorgeous flowers. I'll pick a handful to bring home."
71. What is your most treasured possession?
"My daddy's partisan. It's really my only possession that's survived the years. And I gave that to Ceirtette. She could take better care of it than me. Besides, she loved him as much as me."

"Um... I don't really think about colors often. Blue, I think. Like the sky or the ocean froth."
