Part 1 of 2
A. *Hugs* Thank you! I have so much fun with that stroppy, snarky bastard! And he has a fabulous time with Roma, too. We need to do more with them!
1. What would your character kill for? What would they die for? Undoubtedly, Elizabeth would kill for England’s sake. She did it with her cousin, Mary of Scotland. She would willingly have died for England, too, and survived no fewer than 25 attempts on her life. In the end she did die for England.
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why? She would never marry Robert Dudley, no matter how much she would have loved him or wanted to. The fact that he was never fully expunged of all suspicion as to his wife’s untimely death .There was great speculation he had done it so that he could marry Elizabeth and become King of England.
3. What do they dream about? She dreams of being forever young and admired by men throughout the world. When she took the throne and shortly before when she was a young woman, she really did love the admiration that she got from men.
4. What’s their biggest fear? Losing England to Philip of Spain. She is also deathly afraid that whatever man she chooses to marry they will do so to gain the throne and put her aside and have her executed just as her father did with her mother. In her mind, marriage to anyone other than England meant death.
5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why?A piece of jewelry that was her mother’s with her mothers motto inscribed on it, ‘Semper Eadem’ (Always the Same’) Ironically, Cardinal Richelieu also chose this as his motto or something very similar to it.
6. What is their fondest memory? The night of her Coronation day at the Ball. The entire world was at her feet and hope had once again been reborn. (cont’d)
Part 2 of 2
7. What is their worst memory? Realising that she had taken the life of a fellow sovereign and a God-Anointed Queen.
8. What or who was were their most significant influence? Expound. Her father, without a doubt. Elizabeth had an absolutely horrible childhood. She was declared a bastard and princess back and forth so many times that it became a cruel joke. Henry Tudor was an imposing figure all of his life, and not just by sheer girth. He had a lust for life that few in the world could match, her life and the life of her family was played out on the world stage and there was very little she could do about it. The struggles over Henry’s reformation of the Church of England, the birth of the schisms between Protestant and Catholic as well as the idea that if a man tired of a woman, he merely only decide to trump up a charge of adultery or witchcraft and could have her beheaded on a whim. To Elizabeth’s mind, marriage meant death and very much unhappiness. By the time her sister Mary became Queen, she saw her sister loved Philip of Spain but he most certainly did not return that love – indeed. Philip was married to Power and his ambitions were his only spouse. Elizabeth did likewise in marrying herself to England and chose to battle wits with him that way.
9. What do they believe makes a successful life? The Peace and Prosperity of England and its People.
10. What makes them laugh? She laughs often but I think she loves a good bawdy joke and a ribald sense of humour.
11. What are their religious views? She is most decidedly a Protestant, although during her sister Mary’s reign, she made every effort to adhere to the State religion, which under Mary was Catholicism.
12. What is their greatest strength? Elizabeth has several. She has the wit and intelligence of any man around her and she was a born Statesman. She was the Mistress of Subterfuge and redirection. She loved to give her answer as answer-less. Which meant she chose not to choose.
13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it? Elizabeth has inherited the foul temper of both of her parents! She needs constant reassurances to her ego because as a young woman there were so many blows to it. She must be admired, and the centre of attention at all times. It really is all about insecurity.
14. Who is the most important person in their life? Robert Dudley. He was her childhood friend, possibly a lover, but definitely the love of her life. He was the one who could best quell her temper – except when it was aimed at him.
15. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die? I think the whole of the world missed and in some ways still misses Elizabeth Tudor! She was England’s greatest ruler and she was solely responsible for launching England’s Empire and the institution of Piracy. Among Pirates she is considered their patron saint. 😉 Elizabeth died after several days of standing up. Apparently, near the end, she knew that if she were to lay down, she would not awaken again. They say that a person knows. Elizabeth tells me that she saw her mother and father and Edward her brother and her Sister and even Walsingham near all that day. She did not want to leave England to James Stuart. She did not want to leave England at all, and she held on to it with both fists until the end.

Part 1 of 2
A. Thank you! Well, I have the advantage of having the best people to write and RP with in the entire world and I definitely put you in that category, my dear heart! Thank you for all that you give! *hugs* That one detail just came out, and really it was God that insisted that she gave Him headaches – migraines in fact! I also never expected her to be as much of a meddling (potential) mother-in-law as she is with Stelios! Poor man! 😉
B. 1. What would your character kill for? What would they die for? She would kill for her family and especially for Stelios.
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why? She would never lie or sacrifice her integrity. She would probably also never have another lover other than Stelios because she took so long to be with anyone and when she decided that was it.
3. What do they dream about? Being with Stelios and seeing as much as they can in their time together of all Seven Realms of Existence.
4. What’s their biggest fear? That the Fae Wars or the War with the Watchers will start and she will lose her family or worse, Stelios.
5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why? Madame Angelique, which was the harp she inherited from her Grandmother, the Comtesse Jocelyn Ysabetta de Rochefort, her father’s mother.
6. What is their fondest memory? She says that any time with Stelios is her fondest, but most of all she loved when they were finally at his home and in his bed. She said they didn’t want to leave it for days on end.
7. What is their worst memory? When her father shot Stelios at the Tammy Awards and she emptied the entire 9mm clip into her father.
8. What or who was were their most significant influence? Expound. Her mother. Her mother taught Caroline how to live in both the world of the Sidhe and in the world of humans. Of course, Frances is not an affectionate mother, but she does have a sort of aloof sense of caring to her and she made certain that Caroline was raised as much French as she was Sidhe.
9. What do they believe makes a successful life? Being happy and joyful and surrounded by those whom you love.
10. What makes them laugh? Stelios being silly! I think one of the funniest memories is the hotel room they destroyed in Paris.
11. What are their religious views? Caroline is Pagan – and is a devotee of the Goddess Danu, the founder of the Tuatha de Dannan
12. What is their greatest strength? Her love and devotion toward her bardic arts but also for her family and those whom she cares about.
13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it?She is very tender hearted. She in some ways is quite innocent in the ways of the world. She wants to trust but she knows humans find it very easy to lie and be dishonest.
14. Who is the most important person in their life? Stelios Lakiotis – he is the absolute love of her life.
15. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die? If she died, I do believe that Stelios would miss her the most. I know that Jocelyn would be beside herself. She adores her big sister who has only ever been kind to her. I do also believe that Sebastien would as well, because even though he never knew Caroline when she was growing up, she is still his daughter and loves her greatly. Of course Faelyn would. They have been through much together. How Caroline would die would be very specifically if someone took her head with the Blade of Unmaking. I suspect that if that happened, neither Stelios nor her father would rest until she was avenged.

A. Elizabeth, because when I read her, it’s like reading *real* history. As if I came across a newly-discovered letter she wrote herself.
B. Everyone stole the two I would normally ask about. *L* So… Sally Owens. Since I adore that movie/book.
C. Hmm. Historical. Your choice.
A. Thank you! That is exactly what I was going for with Elizabeth. In that way, she is very hard to write for because she is just so complex and intelligent. My goal is to do her justice and her parents, too.
B.
1. What would your character kill for? What would they die for? Well, she would kill for her family. She certainly did,without meaning to, killed for her sister, Gillian. I am sure she would do it for the Aunts and of course for the girls.
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why? You know, that is a hard one. I don’t think she would ever betray a loved one. Being a Witch, there is this underlying idea that as long as you are willing to live with the consequences of your thoughts, words and deeds, magic is there for you to use and to do what you need to do.
3. What do they dream about? Being normal and accepted.
4. What’s their biggest fear? Falling in love again and having that person be another victim of the curse.
5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why?
6. What is their fondest memory? The Summer Solstice Celebration and dancing naked under the Full Moon. 😉
7. What is their worst memory? The night she found Gillian beat up by Jimmy Angelov and his kidnapping Gillian and herself and inevitably killing him. She was put in a situation that she felt she had little control over.
8. What or who was were their most significant influence? Expound.Her family: be it her mother and father, her Aunts: Jet and Fanny and even Maria. It was that desire be like everyone else, but knowing that as hereditary Witches it was both a blessing and a curse. They each learned how to live with that in their lives in their own way. Gillian dealt with it her way as Sally dealt with it in her own way.
9. What do they believe makes a successful life? Falling in love and being with that person even in to old age.
10. What makes them laugh? Fun, Family and Affection. Life is full of Mirth and Reverence. Sally is all about that.
11. What are their religious views? She is a Traditonal Witch. I do not read that as “Wiccan” – I get that it was more and probably went all the way back to Europe, Ireland or England and the New World. Definitely a Fam-Trad.
12. What is their greatest strength? Her gift for Magic and her devotion to her family and what is right.
13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it? Her belief in her family and disbelief in herself from time to time.
14. Who is the most important person in their life? I would have to say her sister, Gillian – but certainly her daughters are equally as important to her as well.
15. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die? I think Gillian would if she survived Sally because they promised they would die on the same day.
