✦ Jaxon ;

— If someone [he] knew committed a crime, Jaxon would cover for them.

True. He is traveling with Aeramis, after all. My boy isn't a snitch.

✦ Ellery ;

— Ellery forgets to eat sometimes.

True. Being an accomplished arcanist with a ravenous thirst for knowledge lends itself to having time blindness. It's not that she does it intentionally, but Ellery gets wrapped up in her research that she doesn't notice how much time has passed.

✦ Ryder ;

— Ryder will remind others in the midst of chaos how good [he's] being.

TRUE. Quite literally how book ii. of The Serpent & The Fey trilogy starts. When he's around, Ryder becomes Dad Of The Group.

✦ Kitt ;

— If Kitt likes someone, [he] will give them a pretty rock.

Partially true. An engagement ring tends to come with a type of rock, and he did try once. Not that it panned out well.

✦ Sophie ;

— Sophie is awful with kids.

False. She's actually rather good and adores them, but she believes wholeheartedly she would be a terrible mother. She's grown up with strict expectations her whole life all by being heir to her family's legacy and lineage. She fears what that would do to her own children.

✦ Wilde ;

— Wilde has a diary that [he] writes in with a glittery gel pen.

Partially true. Only when he's writing entries about Ryder.

✦ most like to do something illegal for a good reason (e.g. bread to feed someone starving) ;

Aeramis. Without a doubt. They're already at peace with carrying out revenge for personal reasons; they would have no issue doing something illegal that would/could help someone else. When you've already decided you have names on a list, there's very little else you wouldn't do, you know?

✦ most likely to forgive someone who might not deserve it ;

Kitt. Lord Kristofer "Kitt" Reyes is the middle child of his family and has little time for grudges. He's kind. He's compassionate. He forgives easily. For instance, the moment he is reunited with the person who left without warning after his marriage proposal, he forgives them. His other two siblings, however, take their time letting Kitt's ex-paramour back into their good graces.

✦ most likely to think they can jump that far ;

Jaxon. Absolutely Jaxon. He is Bastien's right-hand man at The Viper's Nest, a mercenary keep. He oversees the training of the mercenaries, also known as The Serpents, so he's got that athletic advantage. But more than that, Jaxon is a man who will not back down from a challenge, and he's the closest equivalent to a good-natured jock who is genuinely working through anger issues because he wants to be a better person. And he absolutely can jump that far, ask anyone.
