Somebody tells your character they look cute today. How do they respond? (And as a bonus, how often do they hear this?)

Think of your character's best friend or partner. What do/would that person's family think of your character? (If they don't have anybody to fit the role, think hypothetically.)

How many genders can your character name?

Your character goes out to eat with a friend. How big an effort do they make to be--or avoid being--the one to pay? (Bonus: How big an effort does the friend make?)

If your character doesn't like someone, do they let it show? How do they show it? How intentional is that?

Your character hears a spooky noise from the basement. What do they do?

Do your character's loved ones know how much your character cares about them? Is it obvious, or something they've had to learn to pick up on?

Somebody picks your character up just to hold them. Yes, even if they're exceptionally big and heavy. How do they react?

What's something your character does that other people consider a little odd?

Your character is totally shocked and astonished. What do they say? A simple "whoa" or "holy crap," or something more colorful?

Describe your character's tan lines.

Where did your character get their pet (or where would they most likely get one)? Shelter? Specialty store? Sketchy breeder? The street? The wild?

How does your character treat guests? What might somebody be offered when visiting your character's home?

Somebody says something mean to your character, and the resounding response of the room is "ooh, that's too far." What might have been said?

What's a movie that would be fun to insert your character into, either in place of one of the characters or as their own character? (If they're made to be inserted into a movie, pick a different one.)

What makes your character feel seen? WHO makes your character feel seen?

Is your character good at apologizing? Is there anything in particular they tend to do when they apologize, be it some sort of phrasing or behavior, or some attempt to make up for their mistake?

Your character has just died! What is the general reaction from the people who knew them? (Bonus: What happened?)

Your character is complaining about the weather. What's it like out?

How comfortable is your character being out in nature? Can they handle camping? Living off the land? Or is just sitting on a park bench too much for them?

Your character has to go back to school. What grade would they do best in, academically speaking? (If they're still in school, is their current grade comfortable for them, or would they do better at a higher or lower level?)

Does your character mind eating messy foods?

Would people describe your character as funny (in the humorous sense, not in the weird sense)? Would your character approve of this classification?

Would your character rather live in a big city (how big?) or a small town (how small?)?

What's something feasibly attainable your character really longs for? Will they have it someday?

Describe a scenario in which your character would beg for something.

If your character was a pet, what kind of animal would they be? Be as specific as you like.

What's something your character will rant about every time the topic comes up without fail?

Your character is having a special dinner for a special occasion--think birthday, graduation, nothing too dramatic but something that warrants a celebratory treat. What are they having? Is it homemade, or do they go to a restaurant? Do they have this type of food often, or just for special occasions?
