93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime? Pass the information on, as must be. Intact, enriched, unblemished. Untainted. Hopefully, not survive alone of the human race either, you know.
45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable? My arbitration would have - should have - resulted in your or Ortega's death. By some definitions, that is killing. Would I be able to do it myself, without magic? Probably not. *looks at her small still hands* Will I want to? I think that was the point that they tried to work on, before you came. I don't know.
94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? In a nightmare of hormones. No, seriously. Do you know what it means that I have the memory of my mother, and her mother, and hers, and... ? I know exactly how bad it's going to be.
73. What is your favorite food? Grilled salmon with potato salad on the side, and ginger ale.
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? ... yes... You. Kincaid, when he's not doing something else; if he is, he'd be as dangerous as an enemy as he is now TO my enemies. Come to think about it, if the circumstances were to put me against you, I'm sure you'd be... *shakes her head* Because I can't trust myself to protect me.
77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night? It really depends on which part of the world I'm in.
71. What is your most treasured possession? The memories and the knowledge. ... a blue hair ribbon that was my mother's. When she was five.
45. repeats. 42 (instead). What are your religious views? I am too... Knowledge isn't the same as believing. I know what the human race knows about the way the Universe is. I believe in that knowing. And in the purpose to which I was created.
58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened. Not yet. For some reason, I suspect that one way or another you'll hear about that.
44. What are your views on sex? That I am too young to discuss it. And too old to... never mind.
3. Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.) *frowns, memories flashing briefly behind her eyes of the familiar face through a curtain of tears, pregnancy-weariness, and despair* I think you know about them almost as much as I do. Oh fine, not quite as much but... She so wanted a normal life... She was so happy before her mother's accident happened. He used to twirl her in the sun...
*closes her eyes, then opens them and the emotions are locked down* My mother committed suicide. My father was told that the child was lost and went on with his life - he is a professor at Ithaca. English. He grades fairly, unless anyone has portrayed a situation like what happened to him in a way that he... disagrees with. He stopped writing in his diary after he left the second woman after my mother, because she reminded him of her too much.
2. Where and when were you born? Eleven years ago, in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
44. What are your views on sex? Complicated.
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you? You'd probably the first to notice unless you were on another contract. You know whom to contact in such a case. If I died... that wouldn't be good. *understatement of the ... year* I'm almost positive that you and Harry would miss me. Possibly about two others. The knowledge, if lost, would be... missed by many.
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities? Over the last five thousand years, from the lives of all the vessels before me, as well as all the knowledge that has been accumulated by the Archive. Every single word that is written down. I know it. I understand it.
58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened. No. And, also, yes, thousands of times.
7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks. *stares* Kincaid, this is ridiculous. *sighs* I am eleven years old, normal height for my age, caucasian, blue eyes and dark-blonde hair. I dress, as you know, as sensibly and appropriately for my age as I can manage, respectively for duties, for play, and so on. I don't think any of the things they did will leave visible scars.
4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like? No, I don't.
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? ... Can I skip this one, please? I am what I am. I will be the Archive until the time comes to pass it on to my daughter. I hope that she will be more fortunate than my mother.
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? You, if you're at the time contracted to me. Harry if I'm anywhere close enough for him to learn about and get involved in it. I was supposed to be able to do it all on my own, but...
