Character Interview

+

+JMJ+

I randomly looked at one of the blogs I follow, something I haven't done in forever, *guilty look* and I noticed they had a character interview and were asking for questions. Immediately I thought about posting a question in the comment box, but being to tired to think straight, I decided not too, then I came back to this page and decided to write a character interview. Maybe I should have just posted the question. :D

Anyway, enough of a ramble by an overtired me. Here is the interview.

Persephone

I really don't know much about her character, so lets see if I can learn it by having a conversation with her.

What I do know:

The Mythicals(Persephone's people) don't get on well with the Star People (Hades' People).

She has red hair

She married Hades against her will

She knew Zeus since she was ten or eleven.

She is a Myththical

Her mother is Demeter

Her father is Prometheus

She has an older brother and a sister-in-law.

She likes to dance.

Me: Good morning Per-Per-sa-phone.

Persephone: That is not how I say it.

Me: Please enlighten me.

Persephone: Pears-uh-phon.

Me: Okay. Pears-phone.

Persephone: Pears-uh-phon.

Me: P- Per-zzz-Pears-uh-uh-Pears-uh-ph-phon-on. Pears-uh-phon. Persephone?

Persephone: That  sounds more or less right.

Me: *Deep breath* Um-yeah. Anyway my first question is, do you like Hades? So far he is remarkably unlikable.

Persephone: Now that is a difficult question. He is a conceited selfish stuck up prig. His number one concern is himself and himself only. If you cross wills with him, he will make you miserable for it.

Me: Sooo, you don't like him?

Persephone: You were not listening, I never said that.

Me: But it sounded like that. 

Persephone: Clearly you were not listening.

Me: So you like him?

Persephone: You still are not listening. I did not say that either.

Me: Never mind.

Persephone: Do you have any other questions?

Me: Yes. What is your favorite color.

Persephone: Ah- a simple question. Deep red.

Me: Like your hair?

Persephone: I never heard something so ridiculous. Whoever heard of someone with red hair. Clearly you are blind as well as deaf. I have orange hair.

Me: *Unhappily* But everyone calls it red.
Persephone: Not people of my acquaintance.

Me: Oh.

(Hera enters the room)

Persephone: What color is my hair?

Me: Do you like Hades?

Hera: Demeter's Daughter, your hair is as red a carrots. Miss Author, words cannot describe how much I hate that evil creature. I will not even mention his name!

(Hera leaves the room)

Persephone: *Dismayed* Carrots are no more red then my hair.

Me: See, your hair is red and nobody likes Hades.

Persephone: *Scornfully* Hera likes nobody but herself and Zeus. 

Me: Okay, how about another question?

Persephone: As long as it does not involve: Hair, Carrots, Pomegranates, or Hades.

Me: Dark or light?

Persephone: Light.

Me: Night or Day?

Persephone: Day

Me: Sun or Moon?

Persephone: Sun.

Me: Flowers or Stars?

Persephone: Flowers.

Me: Color or colorless?

Persephone: Color.

Me: Books or dancing?

Persephone: Dancing.

Me: People or animals?

Persephone: People.

Me: You do realize that Hades would have chosen the exact opposite of all your choices?

Persephone: *Angry* You tricked me!

(Persephone leaves the room)

Me: I guess that is all I can get out of her. Now did I actually learn something?

What I learned

She wears a lot of green

She has gray green eyes

She doesn't really care for animals

She would rather dance in the sunlight then in starlight

She likes red

She still hasn't made up her mind about Hades.

She can never sit still.

She isn't the smartest person on Sea World. :D

Farewell for Now,

Lets see if I can once again accomplish 50,000+ words for the National November Writing Month challenge. I totally failed at Inktober, mostly because I was lazy. I just didn't want to take the time. I keep telling myself, that I can catch up, but I keep not trying. :(

Anyway here's the link. https://nanowrimo.org/participants/catholic-writer/projects I can't give a direct link to the to the project because I can't figure out this updated site, it won't keep my project, it keeps disappearing. I hope it will let me do the word count though. That's what keeps me motivated. That and trying to beat my buddies. The idea is to get through as many of the diaries as possible, because this is "Prince Charming Diaries volume 3, the Lords of Olympus."

Zeus' story completed- won't be doing this part

Zeus has lived all his life with the sea people, venturing into the land of the humans he discovers the terrible secret of his past. Can he avoid destiny and prove himself a good leader?

Hades' story in progress

Hades wants to destroy Zeus more then anything. Everything he does is to try and upset his big brother. But when he actually has the chance to get rid of Zeus, will he take it, or is there some goodness left in him?

Poseidon's Story

Poseidon desperately wants to prove himself a friend to the man who he admires, but absolutely despises him. When the rumor of two destructive monsters are whispered in his ear, he eagerly sets out to help the king of the Sea by ridding him of Medusa and her sisters.

But is Poseidon being set up for a trap to start a war between Zeus and the Sea People?

Hephaestus' Story

Hephaestus is not only a cripple, but ugly as well. No wants to be friends with him. But he doesn't care. He leads a simple life, that is until the beauteous Aphrodite appears in Sea World. War for the hand of the lovely creature is inevitable until Zeus chooses a husband for her. Hephaestus, Aphrodite and the Arganots set off to discover the heritage of Aphrodite. There trail leads them to the famed labyrinth and the deadly Minotaur.

Can Hephaestus convince Aphrodite to stay with him, or will he lose her like everything else?

Apollo's Story

The Golden boy of the Star People. Apollo's singing can melt even the hardest of hearts and his music can make even the cruelest dance until they drop. But when he uses Medea to gain the legendary golden fleece he soon learns that it is not wise to use his gift for his own means. It may be to late to fulfill his heart's desire.

Ares' Story

With his love of violence, blood and war, Ares and the half fury Aris  sow discord wherever they go, until they are caught and assigned to serve a common lord. Seven Labors Ares and Aris must fulfill before they can be freed. If not for the help of the mysterious rebel Hercules, they would have failed. Can Ares and Aris bring peace instead of war or will they be unable to change?

Hermes' Story

Hermes dearly loves playing jokes, especially on his more serious and gloomy brothers. But when he steals Apollo's cows for a joke, and accidentally loses them all, he realizes he may have gone a tad bit to far. Apollo is ready to kill him. In exchange for his safety he gives Apollo The Box. "Keep it secret, keep it safe." Apollo gives it to Pandora who unleashes a series of events that only Hermes will be able to stop. It may involve some first rate stealing and sneaking.

Dionysus's Story

Passed from one caretaker to the next, Dionysus grew up not really knowing his family, but with a wide range of skills, languages and knowledge. His happy return to Olympus is short lived. Aphrodite has helped Paris abduct the bride of Menelaus. Now all of Olympus is divided over the promising war. The riff widens to all of Sea World. What can possibly be the outcome of so terrible a division?

Bonus Story- The Voyage of Odysseus

The terrible war is over, many people are dead or brutally injured for life. It seems Odysseus and loyal companions are doomed to sail the endless seas in search of their homes.

Farewell for now,

Another post in the "my favorite" series.

I don't usually like the mentors as much as other characters, so I'm only doing five.

Merlin

From: The Pendragon Saga
Quote: “Foolish mortal, do you realize we are the only persons standing between you and death?” the voice growled. 
“Yet you are afraid of us?” Merlin mocked. 
~Sword of Camelot

(Art by TH)

Blackjack
From: The Adventures of a Pirate
(well technically he's not really a mentor, doesn't make it into the books that much, because I can't let my hero be happy, but he's still a favorite)
Quote: I am not ashamed of being the son of one either, but I might be ashamed if my father was a pirate!
(Ben says this before he discovers his father is a pirate)
~The Black Horizon

Mr. Smith

From: Thunder in the Academy
Quote: Frederick at Home
“Master Dulzer, please take a moment to inspect your uniform.” Mr. Smith said as he poured a generous amount of syrup on his waffles. Mr. Smith always had two waffles, no butter, lots of syrup, and three slices of bacon for breakfast. 
~Thunder in the Academy

Nightshade
From: The Pirate's Apprentice
Quote: “I must be crazy!” Enna screeched, “Takin' up with Nightshade! Bad luck!” 
“I believe I shall take that as a compliment.” Nightshade said with a grin.
~The Pirate's Chest

Honstino
From: The Shadow Warriors

Quote: “Excuse me!” Louis said politely. While Honstino lost his temper and begin to shove and kick people out of his way. 
“Out of my way you dirty rotten flea bittin' varmints.” he roared “If you dinna get your rotting hides out of my path I will turn you into a pin cushion, for the ladies up in the castle to use when they embroider there curtains.”
“Tapestries, not curtains.” Louis muttered, his face bright red.
“Tapestries then! I dinna give a hoot either way.” Honstino bellowed.
