Character Question Meme (Revival Number 104 or something)

[awanderingbard]

Hoping to boost my word fairy, I thought I'd do a backstory meme. She likes those.

Character Questions Meme
1. Go here to generate 10 random numbers between 1 and 100.

2. Choose a character that I write or have written, be it a canon person, an OC or whatever. Feel free to pick a character that was used last time, as the questions will most likely be different this time around.

3. Comment with the character and the numbers, and then I will answer the corresponding questions from here

OCS and AU versions of characters are welcome.

53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?

I always try to treat everyone kindly. It my profession, I deal with a lot of people who are grieving or at their very worst, so I feel it's important for me to be kind, but not patronizing or too sympathetic. Just polite, and helpful. I don't know why people would want to be mean to anyone, really. Or cruel. I don't understand cruelty.

I suppose I'm a bit shy, but I try to be friendly with everyone I meet. Sometimes, as it turns out, that's not always a good idea.

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?

I have a couple of ASBOs from protests in university. Disturbing the peace. And I have an official caution for helping Sherlock with something. I can't talk about it. There's a superinjunction.

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?

I think I'm somewhere in between. I like to be optimistic, but realistic. I think I used to be more idealistic. I see a lot of sad things, but I try to find happiness where I can.

98. What three words best describe your personality?

Oh, I hate these sorts of questions. Those are the ones you always get on dating sites. Erm, not that I've been on dating sites...

Erm...three words. Well...maybe...I think I'm warmhearted, and probably sympathetic? And I think I'm fairly clever.

23 As a child, what were your favorite activities?

I liked to play with my brothers. I used to play cricket with them. I wasn't bad, and I liked it a lot. I liked to read, as well, and play with my dolls. I was the only girl, so Mum pretty much got me all the girly things I wanted, since she was so happy to have me after two boys. I think she's a bit sad I'm not as girly as she is.

71. What is your most treasured possession?

Hmmm. Well, I'd say Toby, but he's not a possession, he's a friend. So, I suppose my ladybird necklace. I've had it since I was really little. It was a present from my dad, to cheer me up when I had my tonsils out. He always called me his ladybird, because they're lucky, and he said I was lucky. Which is silly, because I'm not. I still have it, and I wear it when I want to feel lucky or to be cheered up. It was stolen out of my locker at work once, and I was really, really upset, but it showed up again a couple of days later. Maybe I just misplaced it. But Sherlock was there the day it was stolen, and he seemed sort of pissed off, and I wonder if he got it back for me. But I think he was probably just pissed off that I was being silly, and I probably just misplaced it.

Sorry, I should have read the instructions more carefully.
I didn't specify because your Molly, no matter which verse she appears in, always seems like the perfect canon to me.

Thanks so, so much for all the answers, that's so amazing!

I'm vaguely curious about Mrs Adeyemi now, damn. There's something about the way you write that even when you only mention a character in passing, they immediately seem so real to me. Which is great.

And I have an official caution for helping Sherlock with something. I can't talk about it. There's a superinjunction.
Poor Molly. Sherlock should thank her night and day for putting up with him and helping him. :)

BEST.ANSWER.EVER! And so very Molly. Perfect characterisation.

I rather like to think that Molly's ladybird necklace looks like the one I got from my grandparents when I started school... Awww, Sherlock got it back for her. He's so sweet! And of course he didn't tell Molly about it. Awww, I love this story more than anything. Your mind is such a spectacular treasure trove! (Maybe you should write it down for all of us one day...)

Thanks again - this is brilliant! *hugs*

No worries, it's a bit more involved than most memes!

Aww! Thank you! I try to keep my AUs as canon as possible, despite their AUness.

I'm vaguely curious about Mrs Adeyemi now, damn. There's something about the way you write that even when you only mention a character in passing, they immediately seem so real to me. Which is great.

Ha! This is why I end up with so many OCs and AUs. I think way too much about even passing characters, so they end up taking on lives of their own. :-D

Your mind is such a spectacular treasure trove! (Maybe you should write it down for all of us one day...)

Thank you! It sometimes feels like a chaotic riot of characters running around, so I'm glad something entertaining pops out of the chaos. That ladybird thing is from a story I had in my head once, but didn't write down. I could perhaps see if the word fairy is interested. Once I get her on the straight and narrow. *cracks whip*

Thanks for playing! This is my favourite meme. It lets me use all my bits and pieces. :D
