1. What is your full name? Do you have a nickname? Uh, I guess my birth name was Fayri Underhill. I go by Wren. Soon to be Wren Meluir. *grins* Thrush calls me Little Bird or Aiwë. Blaise calls me Little One.  2. How old are you? When is your birthday? I’m 20 and my birthday, I just found out, is the 3rd of Maen. So I guess I’ll be 21 soon. 3. Where were you born? Where do you live now? Are you patriotic? I was born in the Rillands but I don’t remember it. I’m from Dolbry, in Saumermere. Am I patriotic? *snorts* Not unless it’s to Dolbry. 4. Who are/were your parents? (Names, occupations, personalities, etc.) Alice and Harper Underhill. Harper is dead and I never knew him. He didn’t try and save me from being kidnapped, so no great loss. I don’t actually know what he and Alice did for work. *shrugs* Alice is okay. She’s kinda nice. 5. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like? Yeah. I got a sister. She’s fine. I wish we were closer but... *shrugs again* whatever. She left. 6. What is your occupation? Thief? If that counts as a job? 7. How tall are you? How much do you weigh? 2′11.5 ft tall, I’m gaining my weight back so I’m probably about 25lbs. Can’t see my ribs no more, and look at these tits, yeah?? 8. What color is your hair? What color are your eyes? My hair is mostly white but I still got some brown on the sides. My eyes are hazel. 9. What is your race? I’m a halfling (white) 10. To which social class do you belong? The shit one? 11. Do you consider yourself to be attractive? Do others? HAHAHAHAHA no. Thrush does, I guess. Devlin did, I think.  12. What is your style of dress? I like to be comfortable. Breeches and a plain shirt works just fine for me. 13. Do you have any scars? Tattoos? Birthmarks? Other unique physical features? You wanna talk scars? You got all day? There’s the one from a knife across my lips, the ones from a whip all over my back (think 8 years worth of regular whippings), the brand on my left shoulder (circle with two horizontal lines), a few burn scars on my palms and knees. I have two tattoos, one on my right hip of a butterfly (prevents pregnancy) and one on my left forearm of a wren and a thrush flying together. I’ve got freckles pretty much all over. 14. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses? One time I ate a muffin with teeny seeds in it and my mouth swelled up and I couldn’t breathe. I got a thing in my right hand where a broken bone didn’t heal right, but other than that, I’m fit as a fiddle! ((she has severe PTSD, dissociative disorders including dissociative amnesia and dissociative fugue, is possibly borderline, and has severe attachment issues)) 15. Are you right- or left-handed?

My Dolbry accent is pretty thick, yeah? Sometimes I talk real fast. 17. What kind of vocabulary do you use? The street kind, ya porcelain. 18. List three quirks or other defining characteristics. 1-- I dunno if it’s a quirk, but I don’t like carrying less than twelve knives on me at a time.

I guess in general it’s more a ‘get the fuck outta my way’ glare. 21. Do you use body language? How? Yeah, I guess I can be easy to read. My body language is stiff when I’m pissed off, I dance around when I’m happy, that kinda stuff. 22. Do you have a commonly used saying? Heh, yeah, well, I used to, whenever I’d open a lock, I’d say “you’re the joke and baby I’m the punchline”.

I never realized what she had to go through until I had to lead people, too. Despise the most? Well, now that Fang’s dead, and Gabriel... Probably Belmont. But Lily’s a close second. 59. Do you have a significant other? Who? In case you haven’t figured it out. Yeah. Thrush. 60. Do you have a lot of friends? Who is your best friend? I guess more than I thought I did. I used to think I didn’t have any. Widget is my best friend. 61. How do you relate to members of the same race? Class? Sex? I don’t know a ton of halflings, but I tend to like them when I meet them. If other rogues are on my side, I love ‘em. Girls are great.  62. How do you relate to members of a different race? Class? Sex? Different races are mostly fine. Wish they were a little shorter, most times. Other classes are fine. Unless you mean social class, then I tend to not get on too well with the porcelains.  63. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened. Yeah, twice. Things didn’t work with Devlin, obviously, and Thrush and I stayed away from each other for a long time, but now we’re together. 64.

I trust Blaise and I just met her a few months ago, but pretty much everyone else it takes years. 70. Do you hold grudges? Oh fuck yes I do. 71. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? Not generally, no. Though I guess I might a bit more after this whole Dolbry mess. 72.

Not very well unless Thrush and I are alone together. 74. How quickly do you judge others? Pretty fast. Sizing people up is what I was trained to do. 75. Do you care what others think of you? Yeah, I guess so. I dunno, I just hate the way people pity me 76. Do you have any enemies? How or why are they your enemy? I guess people who don’t like what I did in Dolbry? And Belmont and his people. Personal Taste and Opinions 77. What is your favorite pastime? Color? Food? Possession? I like to dance and practice tumbling and backflips. I used to draw a little. My favorite color is stormy blue. My favorite food is chocolate cake with raspberries. And my favorite possession is probably my book of elven love poetry from Thrush. Followed closely by my new ruby necklace from him. 78. What are your preferences in arts and/or entertainment? I thought that play about me was HILARIOUS. I like funny things like that, not the weird tragedies the theater people sometimes do. For art, I like Thrush’s drawings and carvings. Soft, flowing things like that. 79.

I can climb and tumble and balance and dance. I can draw a little bit. 87. Do you like animals? Do you like children? Animals are okay. Kids are... weird. I like Trynni, but that’s about it. 88. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan? Kinda both. I guess more spontaneous 89. What are your pet peeves? “You’re not being fair” say it to me and you’re dead. People being fake.
