Elsa's Twenty Questions

1 - What country are you from?
Eisen, but my father's family are Montaigne.

2 - How would you physically describe yourself?
Average height, well built, with long coppery hair that during the summer become almost blonde. Pale skin, even in the summer and always with cheery (or perhaps mischievous) smile. Clothing is usually servant attire - but when not working it's often a mix of caste-offs from Montaigne noblewomen or traditional Vestenmannavnjar clothes.

3 - Do you have any recurring mannerisms?
Curtsying. Since I do it so often in my line of work, it's become almost a reflexive action.

4 - What is your main motivation?
To live until tomorrow and have as much enjoyment out of life as possible along the way. Also, if I can show-up some of those pompous nobles along the way then so much the better.

6 - What are your most and least favourite things?
Favourite: Payback. Revenge is a very sweet dish and is all the better when the planned payback comes together just right. (More mundane likes: dancing till my feet hurt, drinking 'till I pass out and waking up in a warm comfortable bed. Oh, getting a hefty tip is always appreciated).
Least Favourite: Getting caught. I've been in and out quite a few jails and trust me, they're not nice places. (More mundane dislikes: sleeping on straw mats, getting hit by employers, not getting paid).

7 - What is your psychology?
A dislike of authority combined with a deep seated desire for getting even with... well practically everyone is a recipe for an interesting life. People acting as if they are better than others and rubbing others noses in it is a sure fire way to get put on the 'must embarrass list'. But there's more to life than revenge, such as staying one step ahead of the law and getting every scrap of enjoyment out of life.

12 - Where do your loyalties lie?
That would be telling.

13 - Are you in love, betrothed or even married?
Don't be silly. I don't want to get tied down when there's so much excitement to be had. Besides I have yet to find a man who can keep my attention and affection for any length of time. Most men care only about a warm bed and the feeling that they have power.

15 - How would your parents describe you?
She's too wild and care-free. She should settle down and get on with raising a family.

16 - Are you a gentleman/woman?
Don't be silly. Nobles play at being gentlemen and women but it's all just a silly game. Underneath they're plotting, scheming and planning all kinds of misdeeds. Anyone who goes around calling themselves a gentleman or gentlewoman cannot be trusted.

18 - Are you a member of a guild, gentleman’s club or secret society?
Why don't you try and guess?

20 - What advice do you need to hear?
Keep running and try not to get caught.
