1.) Please name a member of your character's family, extended family, or a family friend that they looked up to growing up. Give us one paragraph on who they were and why the character admired them.

It's very hard to say that I looked up to one person more than others. I look up to many people. I look up to my father for his focus and grace, that is why I chose to specialize in his weapon. I will never share his skill at magic, but it is the qualities that make him a good mage that I most admire. I look up to my mother for her strength and courage. She is a strong woman who never lost herself while raising twins (and that had to have been quite a feat given that I wasn't exactly a model child and Maeglin usually went along with my stupid/brilliant ideas). I very much wish to be like her, but I never want to raise kids like me! It is probably from her that I learned the courage to be so independent. I also looked up to my brother, Maeglin. He has a much better idea of what he wants out of life than I do and I very much admire him for that direction, and wish I could learn it from him! I really can't pick just one of them. Each is equally important in my life.

2.) What is your character like when drunk?

I get happy. And I swear more (pirates teach bad habits). I'm told I've been known to sing, which is probably bad since I can't carry a tune when sober. I'm an elf, though, so I generally try not to drink too much (a little gets me more than tipsy enough).

3.) Is there an object, weapon, momento, etc, that your character feels somewhat possesive of? Where did it come from, and why do they feel strongly about it?

There isn't really a possession I treasure that much. There are things I'd rather not loose, like my thieves' tools, but that has nothing to do with any sentimental value (it has more to do with annoyance factor). I am rather fond of my coat, since I worked hard for it and it was one of the first items of clothing that I really ever wanted very much, but I don't plan on wearing it forever (keeping it maybe, but not wearing it - I expect to be able to afford better eventually).
