1. Name: Astherial Evergreen
Age: I am not even sure. What is age to an elf?
DOB: November 14th. I am unsure about what year.
Height: 5'8''
Weight: 140lbs
2. Where were you born?
"I was born in the Forest of the Wood Elves. My village was near the center of it."
3. Tell me about your eye color, hair color and style.
"My hair is raven-black, and it is extremely wavy. My eyes are a piercing cerulean blue. They change hue depending on my mood. When they are deep cerulean, I am very upset, so you had better move out of my way."
4. Do you have any scars or handicaps? Physical, emotional and mental descriptions would be great.
"I have many scars from battles. I have the ability to cure myself of any cut or gash, but I cannot do anything about the scars. I used to have emotional problems when Draconians killed my youthful love. Those problems stopped when I met Rikimaru."
5. What is your educational background?
"Elves stress heavily on education, so I was learning and studying all throughout my life. I taught myself how to use magic and sorcery from a book that a wayfaring man traded me. I studied that in secret, since magic is not appreciated in the elvish culture."
6. Tell me about your work experience.
"Well, I suppose you could call me a soldier, because I have been in so many different wars and battles. However, I have always been a roaming sorceress and mage. I have never really had an actual job... except for motherhood, of course."
7. Who is your best friend? Name both a woman and a man.
Male: "My husband, Rikimaru. He is my best friend and my darling savior."
Female: "Though I hate to say it, I suppose that my best female friend is Thistle. I love her too much to say she is not."
8. Who are your enemies and why are they your enemies?
"I try desperately not to have any enemies, however, I am the enemy to anyone that is an enemy to my husband. The reasoning behind that should be obvious. I do have an extreme dislike for one particular person, and that is a Plain Elf named Thesteriwen. She and I used to be best friends, but she became very racist all of a sudden... and the fact that she was a princess got to her head."
9. Tell me about your parents.
"I actually do not remember my parents. When I was very young, they disappeared. I do remember that they loved me and each other very much. One day they went on a walk and never came back. Nobody in my clan is sure what happened to them."
10. What are your present problems?
"I am basically the mother to all of Thistle's gang as well as to my two infants. That seems to be the worst out of it all. Also, different people have been popping up left and right, but I have no idea who they are... and it is getting extremely difficult to distinguish faces and names."
11. How can your problems get worse?
"Thistle could bring in 50 bazillion more people... or my family could have something horrible happen to it. Actually, one thing that would probably push me over the edge is if Thesteriwen appeared suddenly."
12. What is your strongest characteristic?
"I would say that my strongest characteristic would be the fact that I am very motherly and extremely caring. I usually cannot go long until I forgive someone, and if someone needs a friend, I am usually there."
13. What is your weakest characteristic?
"My weakest characteristic is probably my irritation. I do not get angry very often, but I do become easily irritated. Actually, it is more aggitated."
14. You see yourself as _________
"A good mother and wife and a good person in general."
15. You are seen by others as ________
"A mother... to everyone. I hope others see me as someone that they can go to when upset."
16. Tell me about your private life and your public life.
"My private life? Ha. I have none. I am always helping someone or doing something. Some people do not know that I brood quite a lot about many different things... but that is about as private as it can get."
17. Tell me about your sense of humor/kind of humor.
"My sense of humor definately leans to sarcasm and very dry humor. I have one... and thanks to Tinallie (bless her soul), I can laugh and smile again at other people's comments."
18. What is your basic nature?
"I am usually very motherly to everyone. I can get irritated often, but for the most part I can keep my temper under control. I enjoy a peaceful environment, and I love to learn."
19. Do you have any ambitions? What?
"I wish to be able to be a good wife and mother for my entire life. I also wish to be able to die before some of my closest friends. I have always seen my friends pass away... and I still grieve over many of them."
20. What is your philosophy of life?
"I believe that life is only what you make it. You cannot be happy unless you tell yourself that you can be, and getting everything you want does NOT make you happy... it makes you greedy. I have lived so long now that I could go on and on about lessons I have learned, but I will not bore you. Besides, it is always better to learn by your own mistakes."
21. What are your hobbies?
"I enjoy reading, playing with all of the children in our community (especially my own), and helping around the house. I also enjoy cooking."
22. Tell me about your preferred kinds of music, art, reading, colors, pastime, and dress.
"I love haunting music. In my favorite era, there was a beautiful kind of music that the humans would sing. I forget exactly what they called it, but it is all in a minor key, and every once in a while it will turn into a major key. It tells a story, and the singing is usually simply 'ooh' and 'ah' to go along with the instruments; quite often a haunting counter-melody. I sing that style sometimes.
"I love art that actually paints a picture, I love books; period, I've always loved the color blue, and I wear long dresses if I am not in my white mage's robes."
23. Describe your home environment physical, emotional and mental.
"I apologize, but the only word for that is, 'insane.'"
24. What is the most important thing to know about the character?
The most important thing to remember about Dark is that she has been through so much in her long life that nearly every word will bring back a memory, and many of them are not good. Yet, she is silent. She is extremely strong.
25. Give me a one line characterization.
"Thistle, would you kindly get out of my hair... literally?"
26. What trait will make this character come alive?
Definately her attitude (which I absolutely love) and her are for everyone.
27. Why was this character worth writing about?
Because she is so strong in every aspect of the word. I love her so much... and she was my first one.
28. Do you like this character? Why?
Well... um... DUH!!! ((See, like, everything above...))
29. Do you dislike this character? Why?
Sometimes I think she is a bit overbearing, but I know that it is only because of her concern for everyone. Again, I love her so much.
30. Will the others on the site like/dislike this character? Why?
I think just about everyone likes her. She sometimes has her moments where she can get on people's nerves with her biting comments, but they lover her anyway.
31. Characters who will be remembered are strong or saints or sinners, etc. Why will this character be remembered?
Well, there is no need to remember her because she's gonna be around forever and ever and ever...
32. Find a piece of music that goes with this character. If this character had a song, what would it be?
Fur Elise, I think. It is beautiful and calming, but there are some pieces of it that express her sorrow and her annoyance with Thistle...
Oh... and the perfect one for her when she is in battle and extremely angry is Beethoven's 5th. That one actually tells a story.... I can picture Thistle getting in trouble... trying to beg for mercy... different things going on besides that... it's quite hilarious, actually. You need to get it and try it. Thistle and I were cracking up when we did it at her house.
33. If you could compare your character to another famous character (real or imagined) who would you closely compare yourself to and why?
I can picture her as Polgara from David Eddings' series, The Belgariad/The Mallorean. She is motherly, has black, wavy hair... oh, and though Polgara has two, they both have streaks in their hair. Hers is a single white one while Dark has two silver ones.
34. If someone famous were to play your character, who would it be and why?
Nobody.... unless I somehow miraculously become famous. Then it would be me.
35. Tell me a favorite quote that your character would like.
"Happiness is a city in the state of Mind."

38. Consider this character as an object. Describe it.
