Of course she comes first. :U Sorry, I'm an asshat.

A place where your character is living or visiting begins to burn. The character has a few moments to escape. What does he/she grab—save?—before getting out of the fire and why?
Uh. Her bag & jacket in one hand because between the messenger and the pockets is about 30 small objects she cherishes. XD Her cats in the other. If she can keep a hold on them. Hopefully Glitterpants can get out on his own. :U

The character enters the room in which you are sitting. He/she sits down near you and places his or her left hand on the table or desk near you. Look at that hand. Describe it in as much detail as you can. Quickly. Go.
Working-class. XD Her fingers are long and her nails are chewed down, and the middle finger of her right hand has a callous just below the nail. She's also got a freckle on her right palm. :B Left is boring, tralala.

This may be against your nature, but let’s at least pretend you’re a real snoop. You have access to a wallet, a pocketbook, or a purse belonging to your character. You have an opportunity to go through it, and—being a snoop—you seize the opportunity. What’s in the wallet, pocketbook, or purse? Take the stuff out. Describe it. If there’s lipstick, say what kind, color, what kind of container. Money? How much exactly and how is it organized? Keep going into the details of the contents. Is there something about which the character would be especially embarrassed? If so, what? If not, what do you make of that?
Okay, let's see. Contents of bag.
1 Motorola Razr. Because they're amazing.
1 green canvas wallet. Inside is mostly fives, and a few big bills. Almost no change.
1 small switchblade. For safety's sake. XD (...or more...shh.)
2-3 movie ticket stubs she always forgets to take out.
4 or more assorted pens and pencils, coupled with oodles of paper scraps with various bits of scribbles that were important at the time.
1 iPod and headphones.
1 can of silly string. She's innocent, I swear. :U

You walk into a room in which your character is napping. Without waking the character up, you lean down, put your nose close to one side of your character's neck - just below the ear - and sniff. Describe what you smell.
Without waking her up? Please. I guess before she slapped me, I'd get fruity-shampoo smell. The rest of her smells different, mind you. Oceany. XD

Describe one meal or type of food your character really likes to eat.
Baked zitiiiii. homfg yes. go look it up now before you die of ziti deprivation.

Describe the social, political, and economic background of one of the character’s parents, one of the character’s siblings, one of the character’s friends, or one of the character’s rivals (defining “rival”—antagonist—in a way that makes most sense to you).
Parents are deer. Well, were. Don't even ask about her siblings. XD

...I don't even want to try to describe Jareth, so let's go with Masque. Everyone hates him. Tralala. : D

Describe one scar—it can be a very tiny one—on your character’s body and how it was acquired.
Barring the leg thing (since it's been overdescribed too many times), there are three that go together, two circling her left wrist and one on her right. Knife fight - the guy was aiming to cut her hands off, but he only nicked the skin before she got him.

Describe in detail one thing your character would enjoy reading or some kind of text your character would enjoy examining—a text that might exist within the text of your story.
COMIC BOOKS FTW. Or Jareth's wikipedia article. The glitter sweat would get her.

Your character laughs at something. What is it? Exactly why does your character think this thing—joke, event, sight, whatever—is funny?
She and Maha had a nice lunch and put socks on all of the doorknobs while Jareth was napping. She's having a fit over his reaction. :B Well, wouldn't you?

You are invisible; your presence is unknown by your character. You are observing your character look into a mirror. Describe your observations.
Messing of the hair, and maybe a pained sigh before she brushes her teeth or whatever. :B

“France.” Your character hears that word. What, if anything, comes to your character’s mind? Be as specific as you can.
Well, she wants to take a trip there, but she's never been particularly interested in it. 8C

“I remember…” Your character says or thinks these words. Now provide a list of at least five things your character remembers.
1. The business.
2. Bale.
3. The last time she and Jareth went at it for a few hours. (ARGUMENTS. Not...nevermind.)
4. That she had shopping to do.
5. ...the good old days?

Describe one not-so-obvious, not-so-easily detected nervous habit of your character. Toe-tapping and drumming-of-fingers on table are probably too obvious, too conventional, for example.
Fidgeting. XD i.e. messing with her hair, chewing her lip...wow I'm boring. She also gets quite distracted, therefore not listening to a word you're saying.

A sound that’s especially pleasing to your character—what is it? Why is it so pleasing to the character?
...-SHUDDER- Why did that go in the wrong way. |D Old rock n' roll. AC/DC, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Stones - you name it.

What is your character’s middle name, and what is the brief history—if any—of that name?
Chandler. Not much history. XD I chose one of my friends' middle names because I fail.

Describe (compare/contrast) the way in which your character sneezes in private and in public.
Buries her face in her arm. It's loud. XD

Describe a piece of jewelry your character might wear or buy for another person or admire or dislike. (It’s all right to answer all four options, too.)
Typically, she doesn't wear much jewelry. Double piercings in her ears and a necklace, maybe - plus she's got that leather wristband she likes - but that's about it. As for buying stuff for people...she doesn't do that often. Although she has decent taste. XD

Provide one more telling piece of information about your character.
She drives like a maniac. New York City's not got the safest streets, and since she was a reckless driver to begin with...just don't take road trips with her. |D I think some of the world's most creative swears were invented behind that truck's steering wheel...
