1.) Describe your character’s relationship with their mother or their father, or both. Was it good? Bad? Were they spoiled rotten, ignored? Do they still get along now, or no?
Giovanna didn't really have a relationship with her parents. They were common criminals who paid no attention to her, forcing her to take care of herself until they had died during one of their various acts as criminals. Gina never got the details as to what happened, how it happened, or where the bodies of her parents went. Rumor has it that they could still potentially be alive, and simply faked their deaths to dig them out of the hole they'd dug for themselves. Gina has no interest in seeking them if they are still among the living.
2.) What are your characters most prominent physical features?
Gina's most prominent physical feature has to be her...legs. She has long legs and well...yep. Men love long legs?
3.) Name one scar your character has, and tell us where it came from. If they don’t have any, is there a reason?
One scar Gina had obtained is on her face, just across her right eye and reaching partially down her cheek. She obtained that scar on her first mission within the thieves guild, being attacked from behind with her own daggers and getting cut across the face rather than across the throat. This was a brutal scar and will forever be visible, but it will only be visible as a faded mark as it continued to heal even now.
4.) How vain is your character? Do they find themselves attractive?
Giovanna is very...mellow in terms of vanity. She knows she's pretty, but doesn't think much about it. If push comes to shove she'd exploit that beauty, but in her line of work all she really needed to care about was remaining stoic, icy cold, which takes away from some of that attractiveness that she really doesn't give a damn about.
5.) What’s your character’s ranking on the Kinsey Scale?
0, I don't need to explain anything here.
6.) Describe your character’s happiest memory.
Finding a truly happy memory for Giovanna isn't easy, but the happiest memory she has that she actually remembers would probably either be escaping the orphanage that she was placed in after her parents 'deaths' and getting to go out into the world by herself. Or there is when she got a real job working for Don Corneo, not the she was working for him, but that she was a woman body guard who got respect and a nice paycheck. Its days like that - where she wasn't on the run - that she misses. Not exactly happy, but much better than current times.
7.) Is there one event or happening your character would like to erase from their past? Why?
The event Gina would erase would be...joining the thieves guild. Not that she didn't like the art of thievery, she was a natural at that, but she should've checked into it a little deeper than she had. It all resulted in getting stabbed in the back and thrown out as a fugitive to all of Gaia.
8.) Day of Favorites! What’s your character’s favorite ice cream flavor? Color? Song? Flower?
Favorite Ice Cream: Vanilla
Favorite Color: Teal
Favorite Song: N/A
Favorite Flower: Jasmine
9.) Who does your character trust?
Gina trusts very few people. There is a nice handful that she would depend on though. She trusts Vale, her new so-called partner in crime or something along those lines. He was her partner on her first mission, and he was tossed out of the guild and made a fugitive alongside her. There is also Rikku and her companion, Gippal. They'd aided her on the task of robbing the ShinRa Mansion, she'd trust them with another mission at the very least, but aside from that...maybe a few former colleagues whom she doesn't speak to anymore. Not many.
10.) Can you define a turning point in your character’s life? Multiples are acceptable.
The first turning point for Gina would be when her parents died. She'd been sent away to an orphanage and actually tried to be happy, in hopes of being adopted by the typical loving family that would treat her well, feed her and be exactly what parents should have been. That didn't happen, which caused her to become very quiet, very isolated and very determined. She'd pretty much trained herself to escape, and that's what she did, she escaped the bad things and went to make it better. Everything in her life could be a turning point though. This had to be the one that pretty much set her personality in stone.
11.) Is there an animal you equate with your character?
A fox, she's as sly and lithe as they come. Being a thief and just her natural personality is very...fox-like.
12.) How is your character with technology? Super savvy, or way behind the times? Letters or email?
I'd say Gina is very tech savvy. She knows her way around computers and cell phones at about the same as the average person.
13.) What does your character’s bed look like when he/she wakes up? Are the covers off on one side of the bed, are they all curled around a pillow, sprawled everywhere? In what position might they sleep?
14.) How does your character react to temperature changes such as extreme heat and cold?
15.) Is your character an early morning bird or a night owl?
16.) Are there any blood relatives that your character is particularly close with, besides the immediate ones? Cousins, Uncles, Grandfathers, Aunts, et cetera. Are there any others that your character practically considers a blood relative?
17.) What’s your character’s desk/workspace look like? Are they neat or messy?
18.) Is your character a good cook? What’s their favorite recipe, whether they’re good or not? (Microwave mac-and-cheese applies.)
19.) What’s your character’s preferred means of travel?
20.) Does your character have any irrational fears?
21.) What would your character’s cutie mark be?
22.) If your character could time travel, where would they go?
23.) Is your character superstitious?
24.) What might your character’s ideal romantic partner be?
25.) Describe your character’s hands. Are they small, long, calloused, smooth, stubby?
26.) Second day of favorites! Favorite comfort food, favorite vice, favorite outfit, favorite hot drink, favorite time of year, and favorite holiday.
27.) Pick two songs that describe your character at two different points of their life, and explain why you chose them.
28.) If your character’s life was a genre, what would it be?
29.) How does your character smell? Do they wear perfume or cologne?
30.) And finally: Write a letter to your character, from yourself.
