Personal Hygiene: I wash once a week. and if I have the time I will bathe twice.
Favorite Food: My most favorite food has to be strawberries. They were the fruit that mother feed to me when I was a little one. I would beg mother everyday to give me one, and to ask here were she had gotten them from. she would smile and whisper in my ear, "For this secret you will find out one day when you are older". and this would make me love the fruit even more.
Are your parents alive, do you get along with them: Yes. both of my parents are alive and well, but I fear their time might be not too far. My sisters and I get along great with my mother and father.
If your parents are dead, when and how did they die:
Favorite place to relax: In mothers strawberry patch. For it is always cool and shaded. when I close my eyes, I can smell the sweet aroma of the strawberries all around me. This relaxes me to sleep. Which then causes me to be late getting home.
Favorite Holy Day / Why: The Harvest festival of course! We get to eat our fill and stay out late.
Favorite Drink: Strawberry juice. Especially if mother freshly squeezes it, for I could never quite get that part down myself.
What's your bedtime: Whenever the farm work is done, but after that, my twin and i escape to meet with friends and dance.
What, if anything, do you usually wear on your feet: Leather sandals. Boots in winter.
Are you married or single: Single, farm work takes up most of my time. But mother is getting a little jumpy to have grand kids bouncing about. She even asked the farmer girl across the land. Ahich now I do see more of her oddly enough.
Do you have a family / who are they: My father John the Farmer, mother. My twin sister, Katrina. And the favored one buy my parents, my littlest sister, Allianna
Favorite Entertainment: Arguing with Katrina. I am the oldest! For I am always right therefore I am the oldest!
Favorite Subject in School or Chore growing up: My favorite chore is tending to mothers strawberry patch. Mother does not trust it in the hands of my sisters. A wise choice i may say so. Katrina will forget all bout it for only the flash of men keep her attention. Allianna is way to busy jumping from bush to shrub spying on people.
Least Favorite Subject in School or Chore growing up: My least favorite chore buy far is helping Allianna when she goes to the market. She takes her time and knows the does! For I will not tell her the reason I am gone for so long in the forest.
Favorite Sport: Hunting rabbits with my father. This is the most time I get to have with my father. For he is getting up in years and I will not have much more time with him.
Most Humiliating Moment: Getting caught picking apples from Goldys orchard. Mother needed fresh apples, and she had sent Allianna to go fetch some for her. Naturally, mother sent me along to accompany my little sister. Allianna did not want to walk all the way to the market to get mother apples. Being the clever little girl she is, she knew of an orchard not too far from our farm. I told her that it was not a very good idea. Allianna insisted that we should and that no apple orchard should have need of so many apples all for themselves. We went into the orchard and started to pick some delicious apples. When I had looked up from putting one in a basket, Allianna was running away from me. Before I knew what was going on, an apple had hit me in the head. Quite panicked, I shoved the apples into my doublet and started to run after Allianna. I did not get too far when apples fell out and I started to trip over them. In doing this, I proceeded to run head first into a tree. Knowing I was caught, I begged the orchard girl Goldy for her forgiveness. Lets just say, Goldy is not an easy person to grovel too.
Proudest Moment: When mother gave me the honor of letting me care for her strawberry patch! I remember it like it was yesterday. I had just finished putting the tools away that I had used to mend a broken fence post. When mother asked me to accompany her on a walk. Of course I could not deny, she is my mother. We walked along the border of our lands and into the forest. It was quite some time that we had been walking that I had asked mother where we were headed. Mother gave a small smile and told me that it was a secret and that she will reveal it when we had gotten to the destination. This made me even more anxious to get where we were going. A while after what mother had told me we entered into a much cooler and moist part of the forest. It smelled sweeter and calm here, like life was growing all around us. That’s when mother took both of my hands and told me to look down. There they were, a small patch of strawberrys big and ripe for the picking. Mother looked at me with a serious mother face and said " I am getting to the point where it is very weary on my bones to come here and tend to this patch I have taken care of these so many years. And looking at what you have done for the farm, I am giving you my precious patch for you to take care of. Also my son, you must not tell one soul" . I was at a loss of words that mother kissed me on the forehead and offered to help her with the picking strawberrys. That is how I remember my proudest moment. And always will.
Craziest Person or silliest you know: My twin sister! For no one is as silly as her.
What do you look for in the opposite sex: What I look for in the opposite sex is a woman that knows how to work the land along side me. And to give me a strong son, so that I can show him all that my father has shown me.
In our Hierarchical Society everybody has somebody "over" them, Who is your immediate "overlord" God, the Queen, my father.
Favorite Sport to watch: The Jousters! For I wish that I would be able to ride in front of a crowd and put on a glorious display for our wonderous Queen!
Do you remember your first kiss: My first kiss was from the farmer girl across to the next land. Father had sent me over there to help him repair his barn roof. The farmers girl was out there all day watching us making the repairs. When we were finished for the day, she had accompanied me to the end of her land. When I had turned to say my farewells, I was surprised buy her standing close to me
Do you keep in touch with your childhood friends: Yes, for I see them when I dance.
Where is your favorite "Vacation" spot: My favorite spot will always be the strawberry patch. For it is cool and calm. Full of good memories and clear of Katrina and Allianna.
