Side Note

I also write for the Fangirl Initiative! So, if you're curious, here's a link to some of my posts.

My interests are all over the place, FYI! (Video games, books, superheroes, anime, mythical critters, etc.)

It doesn't hurt to love all the things, right?

Beautiful People (July Edition) Kaiden of Trevi

So, recently heard about Beautiful People, a linkup hosted by Sky @ Further Up and Further In and Cait @ Paper Fury! It’s a character building tool for writers. The writer answers a set of questions about his or her novel and characters within the novel. I decided what a lovely idea that would be and thus, here I am.

This month didn't have a specific theme, so I'm randomly interviewing Kaiden/Kai of Trevi*, my sweet, Siderean outcast. He's a character in my Anima series (I've finished the first book. It's in Beta Reader stage, guys! Whoop).

Kai decided to bring his dearest friend along, the crown prince of Siderea (Arius/Ari), but questions will be focused on Kai. Enjoy! 

*capital city of the country Siderea

1. Do they want to get married and/or have children? Why or why not?

Kai: Children? I’m 18, I don’t have the time for that. As for marriage, there are too many lovely ladies in the world to choose just one. *winks*

2. What is their weapon of choice? (It doesn’t necessarily have to be a physical weapon.)

Kai: All the blades! Oh, and my Anima ability, I suppose. Although, that is quite the “double-edged sword”. Eh! Get it?

Me: Well, these people haven't read the book. I'm sure they don't get it.

Kai: Oh. Well, trust me, Kaiden Fanclub, magic is just as harmful as it is helpful.

Ari: And yet you continue to use it.

Me: Wait, did anyone catch the fact that he already thinks he has fans?

3. What's the nicest thing they've done for someone else, and why did they do it?

Kai: Probably let Ari have my strawberry jelly pastry.

Me: Uh, isn’t Ari allergic to strawberries?

Ari: Correct. He didn’t tell me it was strawberry filled, and I nearly die.

Kai: I just wanted to see your reaction.

Ari: Kai, I’m highly allergic. What did you expect would happen?

Me: Um, Anything else you can think of, Kai? (Gah, I'm trying to avoid an argument)

Kai: Oh, I agreed to save the world. I suppose that’s somewhat “nice” *shrugs*

4. Have they ever been physically violent with someone, and what instigated it?

Kai: Is that a joke?

Me: No.

Kai: Let’s see, *starts silently counting off on his fingers*. Eh, Don’t have enough fingers for that.

Me: So, yes then. And what instigated these instances?

Kai: Most of the time it was because I had slept with their lover.

Me: So, you instigated it.


5. Are they a rule-follower or a rebel?

Kai: *Looks at Ari, looks back at me*

Ari: We all know this answer. Why bother?

Kai: Well, someone has to rebel. Keeps things interesting.

Ari: Excuse me? Not all of us can be careless. If I even so much as think about stepping out of line, I’d destroy the entire world in the process and--

Me: Eep! Moving along.

6. Are they organized or messy?

Kai: The epitome of spotless

Ari: *snorts*

7. What makes them feel loved, and who was the last person to make them feel that way?


Kai: What do you mean by 'feeling loved', because I can tell you a few stories about *CONTENT CENSORED*

8. What do they eat for breakfast?

Kai: Eggs, spinach on the side with ham, and Courian cheese, and a stack of hot sweetbreads, and spiced oats.

Ari: And whatever I’m having. His stomach is bottomless.

Kai: *glares*

9. Have they ever lost someone close to them? What happened?

Kai: I...well, I’d rather not talk about that. We’re currently *glances at Ari before fidgeting and tapping the side of his seat* we’re currently...

Ari: We’re done here. Next Question.

10. What’s their treat of choice? (Or, if not food, how else do they reward themselves?)

Kai: Blondes

Ari: Kai!

Kai: Fine! Twin moons, Ari. *grumbles* Food-wise? Let's see, melons, peaches, cherries,--

Ari: Pervert…

Kai: At least my "reward" isn't weapon training or lecturing best friends. *voice takes on upper class Trevian accent* Do this, do that. Kai, what the Desin do you think you’re doing now? Get up. Get dressed. Why are you always naked?

Ari: Why are you always naked?

Kai:



Thanks, guys! Hope everyone's summer is going well. Writing anything interesting lately?
