Getting to Know You - Task #003
What is in your characters refrigerator right now?
Her one at the trailer is empty, because she and Kaleb were going to make a run for it in the storm. If anything there’s probably leftovers. She hasn’t looked in the refrigerator where she’s staying at the moment, she just says she isn’t hungry.
On their bedroom floor?
Everything. She’s stressed out at the moment, which makes her more feral, her bedsheets are on the floor alongside everything she owns, sleeping shifted among her things the norm at the moment.
On their nightstand?
Nothing. Usually it would be covered in Happy Meal toys, but they’re in the bottom of her bag somewhere.
Your character is walking home in the dark when they hear some noises around the corner. What do they do?
Shift or start growling if she perceived it as a threat. It was how she was raised by her father, to anticipate an attack at all times.
How would they react if they heard someone crying out for help?
Ignore it, unless it was the voice of her brother or someone else she cared about. Otherwise it’s none of her business.
When your character thinks of their childhood kitchen, what smell do they associate with it? Sauerkraut? Oatmeal cookies? Paint? Why is that smell so resonant?
Her mother and sister’s scents are the things she remembers most about her childhood, not so much the food that was on the table. It was normally her mom or Fawn cooking, so she spent a lot of time with them there when she wasn’t watching her dad train her siblings, or spending time with Kaleb.
Your character is doing intense spring cleaning. What is easy for them to throw out? What is difficult for them to part with? Why?
She can throw away most things, she isn’t sentimental. She has a few things that they secured from the wreckage of her childhood house, just little trinkets, so those she wouldn’t ever part with because it’s all she has left of her family.
It is Saturday at noon. What is your character doing? Give details. If they’re eating breakfast, what exactly do they eat? If they’re stretching out in the backyard to sun, what kind of blanket or towel do they lie on?
Probably sulking in her room because Kaleb won’t let her go out and hunt in the woods. Weekends generally mean more humans around, so it’s a higher risk for her to go out then. If Kaleb was working, she’d normally go sit around outside, or go hide in the corner booth in the diner, living on milkshakes.
While driving down the road, your character hits a dog and swerves off the road into a tree. Do they get out to see to the car first, or the animal?
Kitty can’t drive, but if she was the passenger, her first concern would be for the animal. She likes animals better than she likes people, and she really couldn’t care less about a car.
Your character is in a relationship and they come home to find their partner in bed with another person. How do they react? How do they feel?
Kitty can get very possessive, so would probably snarl and growl at the pair, tearing them apart, and trying to fight the person Teddy was sleeping with. Teddy’d face her wrath afterwards for sure, not just from her, but from Kaleb as well.
What is one strong memory that has stuck with your character from childhood? Why is it so powerful and lasting?
Kitty very much lives in the past, so remembers a lot from her childhood. She remembers watching her dad train her older siblings, telling them what they did wrong when they lost a fight to him. She remembers Fawn singing her Moon on the Meadow when she can’t sleep, because they listened to a group of girl scouts sing it one time.
Your character is getting ready for a night out. Where are they going? What do they wear? Who will they be with?
Kitty doesn’t go on nights out. She doesn’t have friends, either, just the people she cares about from her pack.
Your character gets into a discussion about death and dying. How would they describe the perfect death? Do they believe in life after? Are they afraid of death?
She isn’t scared of dying, but she’d be scared to leave her brother alone. Though sometimes when she’s being difficult to understand, or Kaleb gets mad at her for being too much like their father, she wonders if it’d be better if she just left him alone, so that he didn’t have to worry about her all the time.
A friend of your character calls, they want to hang out. What do they do? If they stay home, what will your character suggest they do? If they go out, where will they go?
Again, she doesn’t have friends, but if it was Teddy she’d go to their spot out in the woods, and take a picnic.
