I know it's not much to go on, but... Valefar?

Valefar, from Martha Stewart

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

<3 Val

01. Full name - Valefar. She goes by Val and/or local names that shorten to Val, when in human giuse. The name on her current mailbox is Valentine Farrely.
02. Best friend - Whichever human she is bonded with at the time. Currently, Evangeline, who she's grown particularly close to.
03. Sexuality - Pansexual. Humans and their quaint categories hardly apply, when one can be whichever gender and/or appearance is needed.
04. Favorite color - Forest green.
05. Relationship status - Bonded. Er... that is to say, single. Her bonds tend to be extremely close, but they've never strayed in the romantic direction, so far.
06. Ideal mate - Someone who she can care for, who loves and wants her but does not necessarily need her. Immortality seriously prefered - and this is where we get into a bind, because in some ways, Val is more at home among humans than she is among other demons.
07. Turn-ons - Compassion, curiosity, and an adventurous spirit. Someone whose enthusiasm is bright and infectious.
08. Last sexual experience - Probably something friendly and fun with another demon.
09. Favorite food - Mango lassis.
10. Crushes - None as such, though she certainly finds many people attractive.
11. Favorite music - Cole Porter
12. Biggest fear - Taking a misstep and screwing up a human's life worse than it was to begin with.
13. Biggest fantasy - Being able to travel through time, so that she could visit all of her past humans and introduce them all to each other. That's the thing that's hurting and breaking them, more often than not: alienation, and the lack of connection. Being able to meet others who are like you and realize that that's the case does a lot, when it comes to healing. Plus can you imagine the kind of conversations Sir Gareth might have with Pamela Anderson?
14. Quirks in bed - Very responsive and sensual, but tends to almost never take the leadership role.
15. Bad habits - Tends to lack a brain-to-mouth filter. Can be a bit OCD.
16. Biggest regret - None. She's pretty darn at peace with her life and decisions.
17. Best kept secrets - She tends not to keep many. Honesty and communication are key to healthy relationships!
18. Last thought - I have people.
19. Worst sexual/romantic experience - Not really being able to do the love thing at all. Humans die, and demons go their separate ways, and sometimes she thinks she's missing out on something, but it's better to let go before someone gets hurt, right?
20. Biggest insecurity - Someday, this will all have to end.

Purely to see her spork at this: Celeste. :D

Celeste, from Shebopaleileigh

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

(I think I may have failed at keeping things first vs. second vs. third person, somewhere in there.)

01. Full name - Celeste Alba
02. Best friend - Angela.
03. Sexuality - That's not a... I mean... What were you asking?
04. Favorite color - Sky blue.
05. Relationship status - Unmarried.
06. Ideal mate - Someone to spend your whole life with.
07. Turn-ons - I'm not sure what you mean.
08. Last sexual experience - I'm terribly sorry. I'm afraid I missed your question. Could you please repeat it?
09. Favorite food - Freshly-baked bread with honey.
10. Crushes - I don't think so?
11. Favorite music - There's a girl in the dorm who plays the living room piano, and it's so beautiful you can't remember what words are, for a while.
12. Biggest fear - Michael going away, like Mama and Papa did, like Mr. Kissinger did. Or Angela, Paul or Kat Mary. The whole world goes away sometimes, but people shouldn't have to.
13. Biggest fantasy - Living in a little cottage with Angela, close enough to town that you can hear the church bells, and so that Michael can visit. Lettting someone else feel what it's like when you take the hands of the angels and soar above the clouds.
14. Quirks in bed - I scrunch up the blankets when I sleep? But I make the bed afterward.
15. Bad habits - I'm good at remembering facts from class, but I forget everyday life things a lot. It's why I leave notes to myself all the time. Also, people say I act funny sometimes, but I don't remember it, either. Micheal says that's just how God made me.
16. Biggest regret - Remembering only a little of what Mama and Papa are like.
17. Best kept secrets - [The best secrets Celeste keeps are from herself. She's extremely good at that. Too much knowledge, and her carefully-built world crumbles. But only when it crumbles can she start building it back up herself.]
18. Last thought - Let me be your voice.
19. Worst sexual/romantic experience - Hm? I'm sorry, my attention's wondered again. I promise, I'll do better.
20. Biggest insecurity - That the people I love won't go to Heaven with me.

Quirks in bed - I scrunch up the blankets when I sleep? But I make the bed afterward.

I loved this entire list (including how you handled the obviously sex-related questions, which is not something I would have thought of, so kudos), but that line was my favorite for some reason.

Re: Celeste, from Shebopaleileigh

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Well, there was no way she'd give a straight answer to that, in character.

Re: Celeste, from Shebopaleileigh

[nevacaruso.livejournal.com]

Precisely, and it's messed-up and innocent and adorable, with another side of messed-up. Just like Celeste.

Re: Celeste, from Shebopaleileigh

[wired-lizard.livejournal.com]

I'm just going to second what Neva said up there, because dude, that's kind of a perfect answer there. :D Also, the very last one made me twang hardcore.

Celeste is the world's most adorable mess. I love her lots and am so fucking glad I'm not her. :)

Claire

Claire, from Story Wars

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

01. Full name - Claire Bennett
02. Best friend - Susan and Kaylee
03. Sexuality - Bisexual
04. Favorite color - Red
05. Relationship status - Chastity belt.
06. Ideal mate - Someone she can actually do stuff with. Also, not Rimmer. He turned out to be ok in the end, but he's still a doink and he's connected to waaay too many homicidal chicks.
07. Turn-ons - People who aren't trying to kill her, and also who aren't her parents.
08. Last sexual experience - Chastity belt!
09. Favorite food - French fries
10. Crushes - Radek. (Yep, that worked out really well. Yep.) Susan.
11. Favorite music - Anything you can really move to. If you can still hear yourself over it, you're doing it wrong. Also, romantic ballads.
12. Biggest fear - Having to live forever while everyone around her dies horribly. Having to face the coming apocalypse and sucking at it.
13. Biggest fantasy - The one where she's a normal girl, only she's totally also a superhero who fights crime and stands between humanity and the darkness, with loyal friends at her side. Because she's the sort of person who can stand against dangers untold and hardships unnumbered.
14. Quirks in bed - Even with the chastity belt, I think it's a safe bet to say she'd be into roleplaying.
15. Bad habits - Substance D, failing her classes, getting scared and running when she needs to stand and fight.
16. Biggest regret - Getting hooked on Substance D, except there's a part of her that doesn't regret it. She has a brother out there, and a past, and she must know, no matter what it takes.
17. Best kept secrets - Claire is not very good at keeping secrets. Really, really not.
18. Last thought - I nearly kissed my dad?!!
19. Worst sexual/romantic experience - See above.
20. Biggest insecurity - It's up to me and like four other people to save humanity? Yep, we're fucked. :-/

Jamie Schrieber.

Jamie, from The Last Seder

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

01. Full name - Jamie Schreiber
02. Best friend - Chris
03. Sexuality - Lesbian
04. Favorite color - That dark, wine-colored red/maroon.
05. Relationship status - Single.
06. Ideal mate - Someone she's already found and lost.
07. Turn-ons - Talk nerdy to me, baby!
08. Last sexual experience - Probably some time ago. Being involved in a radical activist organization, complete with infighting takes a lot of your time and energy.
09. Favorite food - Mazoh ball soup. Her mother gave both her and Chris the family recipe.
10. Crushes - Not Chris, despite what people may think.
11. Favorite music - Folk, especially Dar Williams.
12. Biggest fear - Natural disasters.
13. Biggest fantasy - That universe where Maria never got dragged off by her parents and they're still together, and the world isn't collapsing all over the place because the government listened early on to what Chris and people like her were saying.
14. Quirks in bed - One of her odd expressions of being turned on is bursting out laughing. If you're both giggling, you're doing it right.
15. Bad habits - Not voicing her own opinions loudly enough.
16. Biggest regret - Being unable to save Chris. Not catching in time that there was something wrong with Judah. Calling the Senate "ladies and gentlemen of the jury" wasn't exactly her crowning moment of glory, either.
17. Best kept secrets - When the ships launch, she probably won't be on them. The people who remain on Earth may be doomed, but she can't live with abandoning them.
18. Last thought - I thought I knew you.
19. Worst sexual/romantic experience - You'd think it'd be the one time she tried making out with a guy, to make sure she really wasn't interested, but it was actually the first time she kissed a girl. It felt like nothing, which really messed her up for a while. Turns out you can be totally unattracted to some people, even if you happen to prefer their gender. Go figure.
20. Biggest insecurity

Re: Jamie, from The Last Seder

[mllelaurel.livejournal.com]

Ack, missed biggest insecurity - Having her voice get lost in the crowd and overruled by those with more extreme views.

Re: Jamie, from The Last Seder

[nevacaruso.livejournal.com]

I love Jamie, and this was a great portrait of her character. I like 14, 16, 17, and 19 especially.

Also, I'm doing this meme over at my journal, if you wanna play.
