Character solidifying!
19. What were your character’s deepest disillusions? In life? What are they now?
I don't....know why this one is causing me so much trouble???? I guess, times where she put her trust in the wrong person and in their ideals only to find out they were very wrong. She's had her moments of changing sides because of the clashing of ideals. She doesn't enjoy being betrayed even though she does it almost constantly, to the point no one ever believes her about anything.
I know I keep bringing them in, but they're such a big part of her other sides, but her children, probably. She gave up one of her current children because he and herself were going to be murdered, but she does love him so much. Meeting them again she probably felt like she could be their mother again, even though the one she did raise, well, she was not a very good mother in the past. I think having her children, and even past lovers, try to kill her made her realise that she could no longer be their mother, though she still loves them and protects them when it's of use to her.
She knows there are consequences to betraying people, but she still has a little hope going back in that she can resume a relationship with people, like recently with Kurt when he was brought back to life, but it is always thrown back in her face and more often than not punched into her.
29. What is your character’s weaknesses? Hubris? Pride? Controlling?
She's very stubborn and very prideful, especially of the Mutant Kind. She doesn't see why others won't fight as hard as she does, and this gets her into a lot of trouble, especially with the X-Men. She tends to hold grudges and when angered it takes great strength to hold herself back, which often times gets her caught when she's trying to maintain a cover or a scheme.
She does tend to try to control everything around her; a very manipulative woman. When she plots things, she'll use anyone she can get her hands on or can get to trust her, even if they're someone close to her. If their death, pain or discomfort will help her achieve her goal, she will use them though some times it hurts her. Her need to control and manipulate events and outcomes often times gets her in trouble in the chance that everything falls completely through.
She sometimes gets excited and misreads a situation also, thinking someone would think a certain way but it turns out to not be right and she gets herself killed again. She also ends up putting trust in the wrong people, though trust is very hard to come by for her.
45. Is your character pragmatic? Think first? Responsible? All action? A visionary? Passionate? Quixotic?
This one very much depends. She's had her moments of insanity, and has jumped before looking before and let her own insecurities and emotions cloud judgement. Generally, though, she doesn't let her emotions get in the way of a call when it comes down to it. She's insanely passionate about her goals and will stop at nothing to reach them, often times taking drastic measures and dealing with the consequences later.
She's an expert tactician, though, so most of her plans involve intricate thought and most times she will keep it to her self, even if she is working with others; especially if she knows they won't agree. Even working with people is planned out with her, she'll lead people on to think her plans are one way, to make them more comfortable but in the end she'll turn it around on them. In the end, it's always her plan and not someone else's, even if she "follows" their plans.
