Part 1: The Basics
1.What is your full name?
"Hawu Jinjahl, at your service."
2.Where and when were you born?
Honeyed leers narrowed as the miqo'te's plush tiers curled into a deft grin. "North Shroud, probably in some ditch on a rainy day. A smelly place? But it was the seventh Sun of the first Astral Moon, twenty-three years ago."
3.Who are/were your parents? Â (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
Large eyes roll in their sockets, a dainty hand waving off the question with a sneer. "Unimportant folk. Mother was a lowly huntress, one Yuma Jinjahl, and papa was just a wandering whoreson, Jirha'li...Mother never spoke his clans' name, perhaps I was a foul child to my name?" Many titters.
4.Do you have any siblings? Â What are/were they like?
"Two sisters, one brother. Tradition following brats, really....I do not care about them, next question."
5.Where do you live now, and with whom? Â Describe the place and the person/people.
"I take up residence in various inn rooms, I haven't really considered settling anywhere. I prefer it this way."
6.What is your occupation?
"I do a lot of things, mostly just discussing business and making it easy to facilitate it, and I do study aether and Eorzean history on the side."
7.Write a full physical description of yourself. Â 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.
Hawu straightens, folding her hands in her lap and looking off to the side in a dismissive manner. "Well, I am sitting right before you...but, if you really are going to pry... I am a non-traditional Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te woman standing at five fulms and one ilm, weighing in at a grand total of one-hundred and six ponzs. I would say I am pretty small, but I've been told I am a very pretty woman despite my personality. My hair is well-kept and just as silky as my tail-which is a bit too long if you ask me-and a rosy-lavender color. My eyes are framed by long lashes and are as gold as freshly minted gil. I obviously have fangs, and my lips are pretty supple...I think. Ah, I have a beauty mark beneath my right eye, and I like to wear lip glosses and soft eye shadows. My clothes are all very well made and expensive, I don't skimp on good fabric and jewelry. I am not afraid to show my skin either, modesty is for fools. I also prefer comfortable clothes, dalmaticas and chausses are great for traveling if you ask me."
8.To which social class do you belong?
"I am very wealthy, but I've earned it myself. I would say I am in the upper class, but then again I don't care about that as long as I have my comforts."
9.Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
"My health is not very good, I have colds often and I do get tired easily, but it isn't anything very serious if you ask me."
10. Are you right- or left-handed?
"Right-handed, but I can write with my left-hand as well, can't do much else with it."
11. What does your voice sound like?
"I've been told it is very smooth and sultry, calm. Soft? Pleasant..maybe?"
12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
"I do not think I have any sort of frequent speech patterns...But, I could be wrong."
13. What do you have in your pockets?
"I haven't any pockets, but I do have a pouch of gil somewhere on my person. Where that is, is none of your business."
14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
Clearing her throat, the woman huffed a deep sigh before offering another disarming smile. "I close my tail in doors and wander too much. I know I do tend to babble when asked about my scholarly studies and it can be a bit incessant. Mmm, I love gil. I love the smell, I love the sound, the color, I love everything about money and I will do anything within reason for the sake of wealth. I will not speak to any one of my clansmen, if that hasn't been made obvious yet. I often avoid the Shroud and Gridania like it is plagued, but I do go there from time to time, I suppose. I cannot seem to settle anywhere, and I am a bit selfish and vain....and lazy."
Part 2: Growing Up
15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
Sneering. "Vile, pointless and filled with disagreements and yelling...Dirty. Boring."
16. What is your earliest memory?
"Mother skinning a marmot. It was disgusting."
17. How much schooling have you had?
"I taught myself before I ran away, but after I ran I amassed a great amount of knowledge. It was not necessarily school, but life itself and word of mouth. I pride myself on being well learned now because of the folks I have crossed."
18. Did you enjoy school?
"I adore learning, but the way I learned a lot of things was a bit unorthodox. Alas, I will have to say no."
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
"Well, if we are talking arcanima, I learned it from a rather eccentric man from Mealvaan's Gate in Limsa Lominsa, and everything I know about merchant practices and talking, I learned on the road and in Ul'dah. I actually am close with the Vintners in Easter La Noscea, as I used to live and work  up  in Wineport or a bit. I've learned from all sorts of folk really."
20. While growing up, did you have any role models? Â If so, describe them.
"Well, we all lived relatively close to Gridania, and I would try to go there as often as possible and I always admired the merchants from Ul'dah and I really enjoyed seeing the foreigners and travelers. Though, I never really admired just one person, more like a group of several individuals, but they are not important any longer, I would say."
21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
"Horribly. I was an outsider, the Matriarchs only wanted to use me as a baby machine, I think. It was an entirely unpleasant experience...those days."
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
"A merchant. Someone who didn't dwell like a dim-witted animal in a tribe....Anything but that."
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
"Bathing, brushing my hair, dressing up, talking to individuals outside of the clan and exploring. Traveling to and from Gridania was always my favorite thing to do."
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
"I was quiet, I believe...but I was definitely the different one out of the other children. I hated being dirty as I do still, and I loved to learn whenever I could. I was even shy, believe it or not."
25. As a child, were you popular? Â Who were your friends, and what were they like?
"Heavens no!" The woman let out a bout of delicate laughter. "I was weak and I could not hunt well, no one in my family liked me very much! The only friend I made as a child was an Ul'dahn Lalafell who took pity upon my situation, and even then it was not a friendship, I am pretty sure they wanted to sell me into slavery."
26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
"I was six and he was eight, and he was a rather silly Elezen boy from Gridania. We went behind the woodworkers' guild and shared a kiss, but we were discovered by a hearer and to endure a crude scolding."
27. Are you a virgin? Â If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
The woman snickered to herself, shaking her head with a joyous expression. "Of course not, anyone my age that is a virgin is either stupid, or too ugly to catch a partner nowadays. I lost my virginity just after I came of age, slept with a Hyur and romanced the poor sod to sit in his caravan for free and then dropped him as soon as I emptied his coinpurse, then made my way to La Noscea. ...Lots of things happened, and I cannot say I am very proud of them, but I will admit to having my fun and I still do. I am no loose woman, and I can say that with confidence." A loose woman is a hoe, basically, for those who think it's a dirty joke.
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. Â If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
"The overall actions of my family as well as the concept of tradition brought me to where I am today. I am a progressive individual and I will not stand for those who wish to remain in the dark ages as silly little tribesmen and obsessive fanatics for religion and old grudges. The merchants coming through the Jinjahl territory as well as in the merchant stalls in Gridania are what made up my mind."
Part 3: Past Influences
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
"The day the matriarchs forced me into a room with a Keeper male who I was to have sex with and have his kits I vehemently told him to go fuck himself and quite literally climbed out of a window and ran until I could not any longer. I lost my virginity the same day. In essence, that was the day I lost all of my innocence and threw away my purity, it was the beginning of my life."
30. Who has had the most influence on you?
"The merchant community, powerful men and women in society. I wanted to be like them, and now I am."
31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
"Going from sleeping behind the kitchens in Wineport to being a pampered gentlewoman. All of the things in between, really. I clawed my way to where I am now, blood, sweat and tears, and I would do it all again, hardships and all."
32. What is your greatest regret?
"Not spitting on my mother when I left."
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
Another smile blanketed her features, her hooded gaze shimmering with something that didn't quite make sense. "I have done many things, but I wouldn't consider them evil, per se. I survive."
34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
"Not that anyone is aware of." Another smile.
35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
"I ran out of aetheric power to cast when a Seeker man suddenly came upon me." Looking off to the side, the woman seemed to pale more than she already was. "In order to escape being raped, I ...I beat him to death with my grimoire. It was...messy and I hate remembering it. Such things haunt me to this day."
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
"I don't know, actually. Things don't really embarrass me, though I do suppose I feel a bit silly when I close  my tail in doors, I just tend to make fun of any mishaps myself, so it never bothers me all that much."
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
"My birth, I wish I had been born elsewhere, to a different mother and father, preferably rich and wealthy folk, my childhood is the most disappointing thing about myself...to me, anyway."
38. What is your best memory?
"My first trip around La Noscea, such a gorgeous place."
39. What is your worst memory?
"The grimoire mishap."
Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
"I am an optimist...but I am not a fool."
41. What is your greatest fear?
"...Well, m-morbols."
42. What are your religious views?
"I do not have any, I think it silly."
43. What are your political views?
"Do as you do. I will always go the way that keeps me making money and enjoying myself."
44. What are your views on sex?
"I love good sex, it is fun. Though it is not to be had willy nilly or to obsess over. Sex, is sex. It is not dirty, it is not foul or to be frowned upon. Do not force it on others and do not have it if you do not understand the principle of 'treat others as you wish to be treated'...do not just take, fools." A titter escaped the lady's mouth, her cheeks coloring a tad.
45. Are you able to kill? Â Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
"Yes, and I will not answer that."
46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
"Rape."
47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
"Yes, I suppose. Though I have not found anyone I fancy in that regard. I just love couples, though."
48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
"Being happy with yourself...and rich."
49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?
"I am precariously open, though I often do things I do not mean to get what I want. It is all a matter of asking...if you do not ask, I will not tell you what I feel for you, which is most likely nothing. People are very disposable, only a select few have moved me enough for me to adore them."
50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
"People who depend on tradition are fools. Do not hinder society with your idiotic idealizations. Honor is one thing, stupidity is another. Racism is foolish, though I do tend to think that all Roegadyn folk are much stronger than they really are, so I do overestimate them at times. Do not think me foul, I love them all, such hearty individuals, all of them seem to  have so much character. I...I do not believe poor people deserve help, they are poor because they let themselves be, working is a necessity."
51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Â Why do you refuse to do it?
"Well, there is a long list. I would never crawl into a morbol den, or admit my activity to lawful folk. ...Mmm, I suppose I do not like the idea of sleeping with folks willy nilly, and I do abhor the thought of hard manual labor for myself. I suppose I would do such things if absolutely necessary...Mmm...This question was pointless. Move on."
52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
"Gil. The sake of pleasure, and ...and I suppose my companions that I have come to love and care for."
Part 5: Relationships With Others
53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Â Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?
"I treat everyone the same until they do something that makes them worthy, or unworthy of such treatment. Politely, yet not genuinely close. If a person is close to me, I will definitely be more loving towards them, they deserve my company and I deserve theirs, I believe. Such folks that I have find undeserving however...I suppose they do not deserve good treatment from anybody."
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
"Myself. Me. What a silly question, why would someone not call themselves the most important? If you are not the most important, then you obviously do not care enough for yourself to care for others."
55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
The woman pauses for a moment, finger tapping at her cheek as if she were in deep thought. After a good moment, her lips twist into a grimace as words spill forth from her tiers. "Stupid people, for still being alive even though they are horrifically impaired."
56. Who are your friends? Â Do you have a best friend? Â Describe these people.
"Many folk. Three of them, and I will not describe them. My descriptions would be unworthy of their greatness."
57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? Â If so, describe this person.
"No, but I think I would like to have one of those should I meet someone who I love in return."
58. Have you ever been in love? Â If so, describe what happened.
"No, I have never even felt affection for anyone, I think. I would love to, but no one has really stricken me like that."
59. What do you look for in a potential lover?
"A nice face and body, intellect, I suppose I would like for him to be as wealthy as I am, if not more. I want him to be madly in love with me, and I want to be madly in love with him. Â He should be worldly and ..definitely not shy. I think I would like for him to be pleasant and happy with himself, loving himself is the most important thing, definitely."
60. How close are you to your family?
"I do not care about them and if they were all to die a bell from now I would not bat an eyelash."
61. Have you started your own family? Â If so, describe them. Â If not, do you want to? Â Why or why not?
"No, and no. I hate the thought of having children, and when and if I get a lover or husband of my own, I wish to enjoy my life to the fullest with them, travel, play, fool about, enjoyment. I want to grow old with one person, that is all I desire out of a relationship....I also dislike children."
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
"My dear ones, and if none of them are around, the nearest object I can use."
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Â Who, and why?
"My charges, specifically a Seawolf. He goes many places with me and does a lot of my dirty work, lovely man, that one." He is an NPC of my own creation Hawu absolutely adores on a platonic level.
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
"Hopefully my dear ones, all of my friends, but I would not expect it out of anyone to miss me, it is unnecessary."
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
"I haven't met anyone worthy of my despising them, if I do, I will kill them."
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
"I do not argue. I do not have the time for such petty things."
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
"I can, but I do enjoy watching. Leading is easy so long as you can act as if you have empathy."
68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Â Why or why not?
"Yes, I adore it. It is fun to be social and loud, though I would rather  be with a few good friends rather than a whole bar of strangers at times, as anyone would."
69. Do you care what others think of you?
"Only if I care about them, or need something out of them."
Part 6: Likes And Dislikes
70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
"I collect flowers and press them, I have many books of the blooms. Ah, how I wish I had the time to garden... I enjoy people watching and good conversation. Dancing and tomfoolery has always been great fun as well as traveling. I absolutely adore shopping, really...ahem. Reading, learning."
71. What is your most treasured possession?
"Mmmm, my pressed flower collection. I believe I would weep for weeks should something happen to it."
72. What is your favorite color?
"I enjoy passionate reds, though I quite enjoy softer colors...I could never just pick one."
73. What is your favorite food?
"Rolanberry cheesecake with triple cream coffee."
74. What, if anything, do you like to read?
"Anything and everything, really. I love to read."
75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)?
"People of all walks of life, conversation. I adore good music and dancing, but I do believe I also enjoy watching folk who are passionate about their craft actually work, no matter what it is."
76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? Â If so, why? Â Do you want to quit?
"I do drink socially, nothing else really. I don't find it to be a vice. Alcohol goes so well with tea afterall."
77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
"What is a Saturday night?"
78. What makes you laugh?
"Hearty folk, dirty jokes...clumsy people. Silly questions and stupid people. Many, many things make me laugh, and I do love to laugh."
79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
"I suppose I don't quite like the idea of folks making the assumption that I am friends with them after I act kind to them. I also abhor the thought of having my tail pulled."
80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
"Read, go for a stroll, work."
81. How do you deal with stress?
"I do not really get stressed all that much, but when I do, I tend to call upon a friend or write to them about my troubles, or take walks."
82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
"It depends on the situation, really."
83. What are your pet peeves?
"Wealthy folk that are stupid. Loose women who believe they have worth, sensitive folk. Dramatic fools. ...Idiots who get pregnant, their children will be idiots as well. Getting dirty. People who are full of themselves."
Part 7: Self Images And Etc.
84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. Â How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?
"Heavens...I do not have a routine, I do whatever needs to be done and find time to play as needed. My life has no routine."
85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
"I am persuasive. Talking, diplomacy, perception."
86. What is your greatest weakness?
"Probably money, my greed. My hedonistic ways, and yet I love them."
87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
"I would like to be better at everything I already do well. Maximize my profit."
88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
"Definitely extroverted."
89. Are you generally organized or messy?
"In the middle, really. Though I prefer being organized."
90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
"People, alchemy, and running quickly...and I am bad at holding my tongue when my studies are involved, lifting heavy things, and functioning well in the morning."
91. Do you like yourself?
"Yes, I love myself."
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…)
Hawu is not an adventurer, so N/A
93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
"I suppose I would like to be able to settle down someday, with someone I love, but then again I don't really care about it. I do not have a lifetime goal, I go wherever life takes me."
94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
"In the lap of luxury, possibly with a lover. Maybe out of Eorzea? I don't really know, as I had said I go wherever life takes me."
95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
"I think I would like to go out like a whisper. Painlessly, quietly. Though, that probably will not happen."
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 say goodbye to my dear ones, hide my funds where no one would ever find them, and party until I could no longer."
97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
"Loving myself...loving others, being fun, enjoyable company, but I would like to only be remembered by my dear ones, no one else matters."
98. What three words best describe your personality?
"Ambitious, passionate, confident."
99. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
"Charming, crafty, silver-tongued."
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…)
Well, Hawu...Keep on trucking, learn to be a little less crude. I think you should either continue your studies or go all into merchantile practices, but that's just my opinion. Keep being yourself, don't ever hate yourself and remember to hold your tongue around those big scary people you don't have any business making angry, babe.

I would say I am pretty small, but I've been told I am a very pretty woman despite my personality.

"I was six and he was eight, and he was a rather silly Elezen boy from Gridania. We went behind the woodworkers' guild and shared a kiss, but we were discovered by a hearer and to endure a crude scolding."
27. Are you a virgin? Â If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
The woman snickered to herself, shaking her head with a joyous expression. "Of course not, anyone my age that is a virgin is either stupid, or too ugly to catch a partner nowadays. I lost my virginity just after I came of age, slept with a Hyur and romanced the poor sod to sit in his caravan for free and then dropped him as soon as I emptied his coinpurse, then made my way to La Noscea. ...Lots of things happened, and I cannot say I am very proud of them, but I will admit to having my fun and I still do. I am no loose woman, and I can say that with confidence." A loose woman is a hoe, basically, for those who think it's a dirty joke.
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. Â If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
"The overall actions of my family as well as the concept of tradition brought me to where I am today. I am a progressive individual and I will not stand for those who wish to remain in the dark ages as silly little tribesmen and obsessive fanatics for religion and old grudges. The merchants coming through the Jinjahl territory as well as in the merchant stalls in Gridania are what made up my mind."
Part 3: Past Influences
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
"The day the matriarchs forced me into a room with a Keeper male who I was to have sex with and have his kits I vehemently told him to go fuck himself and quite literally climbed out of a window and ran until I could not any longer. I lost my virginity the same day. In essence, that was the day I lost all of my innocence and threw away my purity, it was the beginning of my life."
30. Who has had the most influence on you?
"The merchant community, powerful men and women in society. I wanted to be like them, and now I am."
31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
"Going from sleeping behind the kitchens in Wineport to being a pampered gentlewoman. All of the things in between, really. I clawed my way to where I am now, blood, sweat and tears, and I would do it all again, hardships and all."
32. What is your greatest regret?
"Not spitting on my mother when I left."
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
Another smile blanketed her features, her hooded gaze shimmering with something that didn't quite make sense. "I have done many things, but I wouldn't consider them evil, per se. I survive."
34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
"Not that anyone is aware of." Another smile.
35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
"I ran out of aetheric power to cast when a Seeker man suddenly came upon me." Looking off to the side, the woman seemed to pale more than she already was. "In order to escape being raped, I ...I beat him to death with my grimoire. It was...messy and I hate remembering it. Such things haunt me to this day."
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
"I don't know, actually. Things don't really embarrass me, though I do suppose I feel a bit silly when I close  my tail in doors, I just tend to make fun of any mishaps myself, so it never bothers me all that much."
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
"My birth, I wish I had been born elsewhere, to a different mother and father, preferably rich and wealthy folk, my childhood is the most disappointing thing about myself...to me, anyway."
38. What is your best memory?
"My first trip around La Noscea, such a gorgeous place."
39. What is your worst memory?
"The grimoire mishap."
Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
"I am an optimist...but I am not a fool."
41. What is your greatest fear?
"...Well, m-morbols."
42. What are your religious views?
"I do not have any, I think it silly."
43. What are your political views?
"Do as you do. I will always go the way that keeps me making money and enjoying myself."
44. What are your views on sex?
"I love good sex, it is fun. Though it is not to be had willy nilly or to obsess over. Sex, is sex. It is not dirty, it is not foul or to be frowned upon. Do not force it on others and do not have it if you do not understand the principle of 'treat others as you wish to be treated'...do not just take, fools." A titter escaped the lady's mouth, her cheeks coloring a tad.
45. Are you able to kill? Â Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
"Yes, and I will not answer that."
46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
"Rape."

"Yes, I suppose. Though I have not found anyone I fancy in that regard. I just love couples, though."
48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
"Being happy with yourself...and rich."
49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?
"I am precariously open, though I often do things I do not mean to get what I want. It is all a matter of asking...if you do not ask, I will not tell you what I feel for you, which is most likely nothing. People are very disposable, only a select few have moved me enough for me to adore them."
50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
"People who depend on tradition are fools. Do not hinder society with your idiotic idealizations. Honor is one thing, stupidity is another. Racism is foolish, though I do tend to think that all Roegadyn folk are much stronger than they really are, so I do overestimate them at times. Do not think me foul, I love them all, such hearty individuals, all of them seem to  have so much character. I...I do not believe poor people deserve help, they are poor because they let themselves be, working is a necessity."
51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Â Why do you refuse to do it?
"Well, there is a long list. I would never crawl into a morbol den, or admit my activity to lawful folk. ...Mmm, I suppose I do not like the idea of sleeping with folks willy nilly, and I do abhor the thought of hard manual labor for myself. I suppose I would do such things if absolutely necessary...Mmm...This question was pointless. Move on."
52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
"Gil. The sake of pleasure, and ...and I suppose my companions that I have come to love and care for."
Part 5: Relationships With Others
53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Â Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?
"I treat everyone the same until they do something that makes them worthy, or unworthy of such treatment. Politely, yet not genuinely close. If a person is close to me, I will definitely be more loving towards them, they deserve my company and I deserve theirs, I believe. Such folks that I have find undeserving however...I suppose they do not deserve good treatment from anybody."
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
"Myself. Me. What a silly question, why would someone not call themselves the most important? If you are not the most important, then you obviously do not care enough for yourself to care for others."
55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
The woman pauses for a moment, finger tapping at her cheek as if she were in deep thought. After a good moment, her lips twist into a grimace as words spill forth from her tiers. "Stupid people, for still being alive even though they are horrifically impaired."
56. Who are your friends? Â Do you have a best friend? Â Describe these people.
"Many folk. Three of them, and I will not describe them. My descriptions would be unworthy of their greatness."
57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? Â If so, describe this person.
"No, but I think I would like to have one of those should I meet someone who I love in return."
58. Have you ever been in love? Â If so, describe what happened.
"No, I have never even felt affection for anyone, I think. I would love to, but no one has really stricken me like that."
59. What do you look for in a potential lover?
"A nice face and body, intellect, I suppose I would like for him to be as wealthy as I am, if not more. I want him to be madly in love with me, and I want to be madly in love with him. Â He should be worldly and ..definitely not shy. I think I would like for him to be pleasant and happy with himself, loving himself is the most important thing, definitely."
60. How close are you to your family?
"I do not care about them and if they were all to die a bell from now I would not bat an eyelash."
61. Have you started your own family? Â If so, describe them. Â If not, do you want to? Â Why or why not?
"No, and no. I hate the thought of having children, and when and if I get a lover or husband of my own, I wish to enjoy my life to the fullest with them, travel, play, fool about, enjoyment. I want to grow old with one person, that is all I desire out of a relationship....I also dislike children."
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
"My dear ones, and if none of them are around, the nearest object I can use."
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Â Who, and why?
"My charges, specifically a Seawolf. He goes many places with me and does a lot of my dirty work, lovely man, that one." He is an NPC of my own creation Hawu absolutely adores on a platonic level.
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
"Hopefully my dear ones, all of my friends, but I would not expect it out of anyone to miss me, it is unnecessary."
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
"I haven't met anyone worthy of my despising them, if I do, I will kill them."
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
"I do not argue. I do not have the time for such petty things."
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
"I can, but I do enjoy watching. Leading is easy so long as you can act as if you have empathy."
68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Â Why or why not?
"Yes, I adore it. It is fun to be social and loud, though I would rather  be with a few good friends rather than a whole bar of strangers at times, as anyone would."
69. Do you care what others think of you?
"Only if I care about them, or need something out of them."
Part 6: Likes And Dislikes
70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes?
"I collect flowers and press them, I have many books of the blooms. Ah, how I wish I had the time to garden... I enjoy people watching and good conversation. Dancing and tomfoolery has always been great fun as well as traveling. I absolutely adore shopping, really...ahem. Reading, learning."
71. What is your most treasured possession?
"Mmmm, my pressed flower collection. I believe I would weep for weeks should something happen to it."
72. What is your favorite color?
"I enjoy passionate reds, though I quite enjoy softer colors...I could never just pick one."

76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? Â If so, why? Â Do you want to quit?

77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
"What is a Saturday night?"
78. What makes you laugh?
"Hearty folk, dirty jokes...clumsy people. Silly questions and stupid people. Many, many things make me laugh, and I do love to laugh."
79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you?
"I suppose I don't quite like the idea of folks making the assumption that I am friends with them after I act kind to them. I also abhor the thought of having my tail pulled."
80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself?
"Read, go for a stroll, work."
81. How do you deal with stress?
"I do not really get stressed all that much, but when I do, I tend to call upon a friend or write to them about my troubles, or take walks."
82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
"It depends on the situation, really."
83. What are your pet peeves?
"Wealthy folk that are stupid. Loose women who believe they have worth, sensitive folk. Dramatic fools. ...Idiots who get pregnant, their children will be idiots as well. Getting dirty. People who are full of themselves."
Part 7: Self Images And Etc.
84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. Â How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?

91. Do you like yourself?
"Yes, I love myself."
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…)
Hawu is not an adventurer, so N/A
93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
"I suppose I would like to be able to settle down someday, with someone I love, but then again I don't really care about it. I do not have a lifetime goal, I go wherever life takes me."
94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
"In the lap of luxury, possibly with a lover. Maybe out of Eorzea? I don't really know, as I had said I go wherever life takes me."
95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
"I think I would like to go out like a whisper. Painlessly, quietly. Though, that probably will not happen."
96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.

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…)
Well, Hawu...Keep on trucking, learn to be a little less crude. I think you should either continue your studies or go all into merchantile practices, but that's just my opinion. Keep being yourself, don't ever hate yourself and remember to hold your tongue around those big scary people you don't have any business making angry, babe.
