(What part of the city of Babylon?</strong><br/>Industrial district where her dad works, her mother commutes for her job.<br/><br/><strong>What is your character’s main motivation? </strong><br/>The smile of a stranger - ie, spread happiness<br/><br/><strong>What is your character’s greatest strength? Greatest weakness?</strong><br/>Optimism is her greatest strength, combined with a good amount of willpower. Her weakness is that she may take too much for granted and refuses to open her eyes to the evil and greedy motivations of those around her.<br/><br/><strong>What is your character’s greatest hope? Greatest fear? </strong><br/>She dreams of love and fears that she will see all hope and dreams vanish from this world before the end of time.<br/><br/><strong>What are your character’s favourite and least favourite things/possessions? </strong><br/>She absolutely loves the jade pendant she got from her parents when she turned 18. She loves the color green and the smoothness of the stone. Often, she will be seen twirling it between her fingers when she's thinking.<br/><br/>Her least favorite possession is the fat old buddha sitting in her shop window. The damn thing survived the centuries and is too valuable to throw away, too big to place anywhere else and no one is ever going to buy it since it represents beliefs long gone.<br/><br/><strong>What about your character’s emotions? Is there anything that ‘pushes his/her buttons?'</strong><br/>She is an even tempered and bright person most of the time who is slow to anger and even slower to calm down once her temper flares. Things that set her off are blatantly contradicting her without providing arguments, prolonged nonsense, and deliberate injustice.<br/><strong><br/>Is your character aware of the demonic in the world? If so, why? </strong><br/>No, she is not. However, she does believe there are good and evil spirits in the world and she keeps a small oriental altar in her home.<br/><br/><strong>If you could, what advice would you give your character? </strong><br/>Grow up!! The world isn't going to turn into fairy tale!<br/><br/><strong>What is your character’s sexual orientation and sexual proclivities?</strong><br/>She is straight (no F-F). She has had a boyfriend, Michael, until recent but they broke it off as he could not live with the excuses she always sought for his selfish mom, and she couldn't take his martyr stance towards life.<br/><br/><strong>If your character had one wish, what would he/she wish for? (Pre demon invasion) </strong><br/>True love.<br/>
