3.) Name one scar your character has, and tell us where it came from. If they don’t have any, is there a reason?

As a Viking, it would be rare not to have any scars, and Nel is no exception. Most of them are small, tiny little things dotting her arms and legs, barely noticeable. The most prominent would be the one she keeps hidden - at the small of her back is an adult hand sized burn scar. Although it may not look like much, this scar carries meaning.

2.) What are your characters most prominent physical features?

Nel's most prominent physical feature would undoubtedly be her hair. The length and Viking braid is common, however the colour of unusual and considered rare, rarer than red hair among Berkians and other Viking clans. A pale blonde, so pale it is often confused to be white, Nel inherited it from her great-grandmother. The village Elder who birthed her recalled an old story that said those born with hair so pale is was almost white were old souls reborn and that even as children, they would grow to be wise.

1.) Describe your character’s relationship with their mother or their father, or both. Was it good? Bad? Were they spoiled rotten, ignored? Do they still get along now, or no?

Nel has a good relationship with her mother, despite the miscommunication between them. Nel was raised from the age of nine by a single mother, after her father did not return from a venture against the Dragon's Nest. Nel has never held it against the ways of the Vikings or the chief about what happened to her father - warriors who did not come back was common place and he was honoured with a warrior's death, defending the life of his comrades by facing a Deadly Nadder and falling against it's poison. However, she has yet to find it in her heart to truly forgive the dragons because of it.

Nel and her mother have an interesting relationship. One would think, seeing the two of them interact, that they would hate to spend time in each other's company. Nella's mother is cheerful, bubbly and, in the nicest way possible, not all that bright. However, she is loyal and hardworking, a solid member of the community who will happily pull her weight and understands the efforts of hard work. Her daughter often finds her to be overwhelming, and just wishes she would sit down and stop talking for five minutes a day, but alas. Nella's mother's favourite topic of conversation with her daughter always seems to come back to marriage, a topic that exhaust and exasperates Nel to no end.

♔ - Do they value loyalty?

♠ - What are they afraid of?

((Rejection. It’s almost sad, but he could probably handle being arrested over being rejected by someone he cares for.))

((Already did the second but the ask earlier was cut off. It's there now!))

✕ - How do they handle rejection?

★ - Do they prefer daytime or nighttime and why?

((Alvin loves daytime, but with his business, he has to keep strange hours. Usually he’s up from 8 in the morning until 1, then he sleeps till about 7pm and he’s up most of the night just to make sure he can handle anything that goes in with the brothel.

But if it was up to him, he’d be in bed by 9 or 10 at night, then up at 6 in the morning to watch the sun rise. It makes him feel alive and far away from the dark underbelly he let himself be dragged into.))

☺ - Do they prefer sour or sweet treats?
