#35-50

35. Is your character afraid of death? If they got to choose how to die, how would they want to go?

- Extremely though being the proud creature she is, Nyllae would never admit to it but deep down she knows if she dies before her aspirations are met the Shiverflame name ends with her. Her mother always wanted her to turn the House around and lead it back to prosperity some day. If she ever wanted to go it would likely be on the battlefield, having some sort of purpose tethered to her fall.36. Does your character have any medical conditions? Are they serious or minor? Do they affect their day to day life?

- No medical conditions and she is as healthy as a horse for the most part!

37. What are some of your character’s pet peeves? What are some things that annoy them or disgust them?

- Humans and Orcs just to name a few but people chewing with their mouth open irritates her to hell and back along with those who simply seek out the company of another with ulterior motives.

38. What kind of weather does your character like? Cloudy skies, rainy days, sunshine, etc?

- She really doesn’t care nor have a preference as she has been abroad and has had the pleasure to experience a variety of different climates.

39. When people look at your character, is there some assumption they might make about them just by appearance? Is that assumption correct?

- Haughty, Noble and looks like she might be a bitch. In any cause they are usually correct but Nyllae is someone who dislikes too much small talk and can only handle people she doesn’t favor too much in small doses. If someone annoys her, they’ll know but generally she is fairly reserved and patient; just as her mother taught her to be.

40. Does your OC have any guilty pleasures they enjoy? Hobbies, past times, music, etc that they wouldn’t want known by others?

- Nyllae enjoys flowers and herbs, mageroyal most of all but she has a fondness for making elixirs and potions to help the sick and even has a stock she brings to several locations in Eversong Woods as a ‘on call’ sort of pharmacist. She enjoys reading as well as a good bottle of wine here and there.41. Does your character’s family affect your character in any way?

- Behind the scenes, yes. Nyllae’s mother recently passed away and she is currently estranged from her real father with also trying to cope with the fact she has two half siblings she has never met but has had brief correspondences with one.

42. Is there anything in your character’s past that they regret, haunts them, or they wish they could change?

- She certainly wishes she was more present in her mother’s life before her death. Nyllae is what some would call a workaholic and she often spent a lot of her time away, in Dalaran and out in the field to where she neglected her home life and mother’s health back in Eversong Woods.

43. Does your character have a switch that changes aspects of their personality whether they are around friends, family, etc. Is there someone who gets to see their true self?

- Most certainly! Nyllae can go from hot to cold in an instant and that is simply a product of her surroundings. Depending on who is around she might find herself being more reserved in conversations and avoiding some topics of conversation though behind closed doors she is just as normal and insecure as the next person on the street. She’s just very good at being able to avoid and circle any type of questions and interactions she isn’t comfortable with.

44. Is there a particular event that would emotionally devastate your character?

- If something happened to someone she cared about or if Silvermoon happened to be under attack again. It’s hard to say as Nyllae is typically a stable individual. 

45. Is your character the kind to hide their true emotions or do they wear their heart on their sleeve?

- Hide it. She’ll dodge anything having to do with emotions and feelings until the cows come home. She is terribly stubborn and closed off with feelings over all and I’d be lying if I said it had nothing to do with daddy issues. 

46. What is some random affectionate thing that your character always does to their lover?

- Showers them in gifts. Nyllae was once betrothed to an allianced family of House Shiverflame but that shortly fell through after they found out of her being the bastard daughter of another nobleman. Since then she hasn’t dated or held a lover though Nyllae is most likely to show her affection through acts of service and material things.

47. Is your character outgoing? Would they be the leader of the friend group, or the quiet one that gets dragged along?

- Outgoing? Not so much unless she desires to be but Nyllae is definitely ‘leadership’ material if it were ever necessary. She knows how to follow orders (mostly without question) as well as follow her gut if need be. Good luck trying to ‘drag’ her anywhere though, someone might end up with an icicle in the nostril or a Arcane missile in the booty hole.

48. Is there anything in particular that would ignite your character’s jealousy? Or does your character not get envious?

- She’s a jealous creature as most tend to be. If there is no need for jealousy or cause for concern there would rarely be any on her part. Being as confidant as she is I can only imagine that jealousy doesn’t rear its head often.

49. What is something that your character has nightmares about? Are these frequent? Do they heavily affect your character’s mood?

- No nightmares as she doesn’t seem too phased about everyday happenings. The most she might have nightmares about is the fight against the Lich King and the attack on Silvermoon or various rehashing of times on the battlefield. Overall they do not affect her mood.

50. If your character confessed love to their crush, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc, what would they say?

- Depends. I think with Nyllae everything is completely situational and she’s likely to place something bluntly on the table in the moment. There is no beating around the bush with her. She’d likely say something along the lines of” “I have something to say and I need you to listen...”

“”You can’t ever have my books,” she said.

“You know the law,” said Beatty. “Where’s your common sense? None of those books agree with each other. You’ve been locked up here for years with a regular damned Tower of Babel. Snap out of it! The people in those books never lived. Come on now!”  -(Bradbury 35)

I can’t understand why she would stay at the house. It’s just nonsense on paper, right? It doesn’t mean anything. Does it? It happened fast though. The match appeared in her hand and she lit herself up. For books. For the nonsense. Her words jiggled in my head. Radley. Master Radley. I feel the hard cover of the book in the inner pocket of my coat. Must hide it with the other books. It weights on me, so heavy, too heavy at times. I am a criminal and they will burn me, would they? And Mildred?
