Character questionaire

From Thoughts of a Shieldmaiden.  It's pretty fun--I tag all authors who'd want to take it!  :)
Here are the rules:
1-) Choose 3 of your Cs
2-) Make your Cs answer these questions
3-) Tag 3 other people

My characters:  "Patrick" (hero), "Joaquin" (villain), "Elsie" (heroine).  All from my 18th-century historical-fantasy (think early Colonial American times, with a bit of Jane Austen and sci-fi/adventure).




Do you want a hug?
Elsie:   No, thank you, a handshake will do...
Patrick:  *glares*  Don't you dare.
Joaquin:  *bear hug*

Do you have any kids?
Elsie:  No.
Patrick:  Of course not.
Joaquin:  Nope.

Have you killed anyone?
Elsie:  No, indeed.
Patrick:  No, and FYI this is getting old already...
Joaquin:  Killed anyone?  Me?  Why should I do that?  How very absurd.  *smiles deviously*

Love anyone?
Elsie:  Well...yes.  But I don't expect to see him again.
Patrick:  Not that I know of.
Joaquin:  Um, myself?

What is your job?
Elsie:  Schoolteacher.
Patrick:  I'm in exile and under disguise, to the extent that I can hardly eat breakfast in broad daylight.  So, needless to say, I'm unemployed, at the moment.
Joaquin:  I am the governor... I strive to serve the people and all that jazz.

Favorite season?
Elsie:  Spring!
Patrick:  They're all the same to me...
Joaquin:  Summertime....  (Me:  PLEASE stop singing.)

Who’s your best friend?
Elsie:  Mary; she's like a sister to me.
Patrick:  No such thing.
Joaquin:  Lady Victoria, I suppose...

Hobbies?
Elsie:  I like walking at the beach.
Patrick:  Does staring at carpets count?
Joaquin:  Ooooh, poisons...er, chemistry, I should say....

What are you going to do when this tag is over?
Elsie:  Make a cup of tea for my aunt.

Patrick:  Find Joaquin and tell him off.
Joaquin:  Beat Patrick up, when he gets here.

What is your eye color?
Elsie:  Brown...
Patrick:  Grey, but my author insists it's bright blue, like Frodo's.  *shakes head*
Joaquin:  My author describes them as "glittering".  I suspect there are serpentine connotations, but I'll take it as a compliment.

Are you good? Or bad?
Elsie:  I try to be good.
Patrick:  I do my duty, but I don't claim to be good.
Joaquin:  Good?  Bad?  Everything is relative...

What is your greatest fear?
Elsie:  Being a failure to those closest to me.
Patrick:  The dark.  I don't know why.
Joaquin:  n/a  (Me:  Actually, he fears losing power.)

What do you think of your parents?
Elsie:  I'd do practically anything for them. 
Patrick:  I'll always love my father, but I don't want to become like him.
Joaquin:  No comment.

Any siblings?
Elsie:  Sadly, no.
Patrick:  I did, once.
Joaquin:  Nope.

Was it fun to answer all these questions?
Elsie:  Yes!
Patrick:  Not particularly.
Joaquin:  Sure, why not?

Do you have any weaknesses?
Elsie:  *sighs*  More than I'd like to name. 

Patrick:  No comment. 
Joaquin:  No, indeed!  (Me:  Er, he has many--particularly his sudden temper.)

Your favorite element? 
Elsie:  I'm sure I don't know...
Patrick:  Um, water?  Ice cold, please.
Joaquin:  FIRE!

Do you care what others think of you?
Elsie:  Sometimes.
Patrick:  No, I got over that long ago.
Joaquin:  Yes, my dear, that's the most important thing in life!

Your theme song?
Elsie:  "Only You" from The Young Victoria. 

Patrick:  *groans* My author says it's "Alaska" by Sky Sailing.  She seems a trifle obsessed with my fear of the dark.
Joaquin:  I really am too epic for theme songs.

What’s your species?
Elsie:  Human.
Patrick:  Human.  And I'll answer for Joaquin--he's a bona fide, non-sparkling vampire.
Joaquin:  Human, of course.
