Meet the Characters- Eliza
Eliza is the main character of the Goddess Saga, and the first two books are from her point of view. Rather than list her likes and dislikes, however, I thought it would be more interesting to interview her, so enjoy!
What position does your character sleep in?
Eliza: On my front. I just like hugging my pillow. Done it since I was little.
Does your character have any noteworthy features? Freckles? Dimples? A scar somewhere unusual? etc.
Eliza: I have dark blue eyes which is pretty unusual for a Northerner, and I have scars on my arm where a baby fox attacked me a few years ago.
Does your character have an accent? What does it sound like?
Eliza: I have the usual Northern accent, nothing special.
Do they have any verbal tics? Do they have trouble pronouncing certain words or getting their thoughts across clearly?
Eliza: I do say 'sheesh' a lot. I think I'm pretty articulate in getting my point across...
Ryan: The word you're looking for is 'blunt'.
Eliza: Eh, it works, doesn't it?
What are their chief tension areas?
Eliza: My temples, usually, and also my stomach. I'm sure I have irritable bowel, which is why my courtship symptom is the same.
How does your character perceive themselves? Positive? Negative? Neutral?
Eliza: I'd like to think neutral.
Adam: Sometimes you're a bit oblivious to your deeper faults.
Eliza: *blush*
Are they a quick thinker or do they need time to sort through their thoughts?
Eliza: I over-think and overanalyse everything. Usually this is a result of too MUCH time on my hands. This does make me a little indecisive...
Adam: A little?
Eliza: Oh shush you.
Describe a dream they’ve had or a night they couldn’t sleep and what they did to preoccupy their time.
Eliza: I...used to dream a lot. They were pretty crazy and didn't make a lot of sense. Recently though I've been having nightmares, but they're more than that I think. Almost like memories? But not my memories...
If they had a choice, would they prefer a subway or a bus for public transportation?
Eliza: We don't have those but the idea of motorized transport sounds divine. Would make prospects of studying in the bigger cities so much easier.
What do they think of creation? Do they believe in evolution or do they believe in God? What is their religion like?
Eliza: I guess I follow the Goddess religion like everyone else, but I don't have a spiritual bone in my body. Which is ironic.
Describe 5 unusual characteristics your character has.
Eliza: I have a mild obsession with scarves. No idea when that started. I absolutely can't stand the taste of alcohol and will never go near it. I can interpret and use a iasometer, which is a special medical device used to monitor a patient. I also know how to take it apart and repair it. I am quite self conscious about my legs and I always wear something that will cover them up. And I'm rubbish at climbing.
Have they ever been so overwhelmed they had to stop and take a break from something?
Eliza: When I almost badly hurt someone I cared about...
Are they a team player or do they prefer to be solo?
Eliza: I can be either. You have to be when your father's a healer!
Can they multi-task or must they focus on one subject at a time?
Eliza: I can multi-task, my parents taught me well. If I do focus on one thing though I tend to overdo it, so if I have more distractions I'm less likely to do that.
What are their best school subjects? What are their worst? List five of each.
Eliza: I'm really good at the Natural and Health related Sciences and Art. Totally rubbish at History, Languages and Mathmatics. Mostly because I find those subjects kinda boring.
Is your character an introvert or an extrovert? How do they handle big crowds of people?
Eliza: Introvert. I don't mind crowds per se, but I'm a lot more comfortable with people I know.
Are they a leader, do they prefer to follow, or would they rather just stay on the sidelines altogether?
Eliza: I think I'm capable of leading in the right circumstances, otherwise I'll do as I'm told. I'd need way more life experience.
If your character was suddenly challenged, would they rather run away or stay and fight?
Eliza: Run. I'm not trained to fight.
If your character was allowed to murder one person without any consequences, who would that person be and why?
Eliza: I'd have said Lord Ozier a long time ago, but I've come to peace with that now, so I don't have anyone else in mind.
Your character has been granted 3 wishes; what would they wish for and why?
Eliza: I'd wish for Bindings to be ended so people could make their own choices. I'd also wish for the Unbound to return to normal, and for an easier way to distribute knowledge other than centres for learning. So instead of having to go to University, if I could train as a healer in my own home I'd be the happiest girl alive.
Does your character trust people right off the bat or does it take them some time to warm up to someone?
Eliza: Since my sister left I find it hard to trust people. It takes me a long time to lower my defences.
Do they prefer romance or affection? What is the quickest way to your character’s heart?
Eliza: I'm a big follower of 'show don't tell'. I don't like ostentacious flowers or gifts, I'd much prefer a hug or kiss.
Does your character have any enemies? If so, who and why?
Eliza: As a quiet girl from a small village, not really. That could change in future, though.
Do they have any weird bedroom habits? Any unusual kinks?
Eliza: ...no. None whatsoever.
Ryan: You do like having extra pillows.
Eliza: SSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH.
How does your character prepare for bed? Do they sleep at all or can they stay awake for days on end without trouble?
Eliza: I usually brush my hair, wash my face, and cuddle up with my toy horse Teddy. Sometimes I read as well. Sleep is important to me.
If your character had one thing to say to their parents before they died, what would it be?
Eliza: That I love them both and I hope I did them proud, and that I was sorry for any pain I caused them.
Are they afraid of death? Do they have any regrets?
Eliza: I'm very scared of death. My regrets are holding onto my grudge for Lord Ozier for so long, and for being too afraid to trust my heart.
Does your character get restless when things are too quiet or do they favour solitude and silence? Why?
Eliza: I don't get restless but my mind ruminates far too much if it's too quiet, so I'd prefer some distraction.
Finally; if your character was forced to eat one thing for the rest of their life, what would they choose and why?
Eliza: My mother's homemade vegetable stock soup. I could live off that!
