MAÉN

Who are your character's friends? None, until Crystal, but they are not very close as yet.

How close is your character to his/her friends? Not close at all, she has never had any close Female or male friends.

Is she/he protecting someone? Her Aunt Lysia, by going after Guriel she is protecting her name.

Who was her/his first love? She has never been in love, but she was engaged to a soldier of Gondor (at her father’s request) an attempt to get her out of her house.

Who does she/he work with? No one, she is not allowed.

Who is his/her worst enemy? Other than Guriel, the women of Minas Tirith.

Who is his/her confidante? Lysia

Is he/she a disappointment to anyone? Her whole family, especially her mother. Her father just doesn’t care anymore.

• What about family? Does she/he get along with them? Does she/he ignore them? Is it a small family, or an extended family with lots of cousins and aunts and uncles? Is it a close family, or do they only see each other at the holidays? Are any of them not on speaking terms with each other?

Maén never gets along with her family, never has, her brothers only politely acknowledge that she is their sister, their wives do not speak with her. It is a rather small family, not as big as others and none of them are really very close. It is a cold house hold. Very few are on speaking terms with Lysia.

•
• Are there any "family secrets?" NO, Guriel is out in the open.
• Who is his/her favorite relative? Lysia
• Who is his/her least favorite relative? Her father and mother
• Does he/she have any children? No


• Where does he/she feel safe? Why? In the servants quarters. Why? Because they are the only humane people to her.
• What sort of place spooks him/her? Her father’s wing, because it is where she first found out about Guriel and where she burned half her arm when she fell into her father’s fireplace.
• Is there any place that he/she refuses to go? Not willingly, she will go anywhere.
• What did your character want to be when he/she grew up? Equal to men.

• What nightmares does he/she have? She has nightmares that people come to strangle her in the night, (not yet spoken of in story) but she is also haunted by Guriel.

• What makes him/her cry? She doesn’t cry, hasn’t cried for years.
• What makes him/her laugh? The little things.
• What does he/she wish they could do that they can't? She wishes that she could fight, that she had more friends, that she was more human.
• What is their secret dream? What one goal, ambition, or desire do they keep hidden from everyone? Is it small or large? Personal or global? Realistic or unrealistic? Is she actually trying to accomplish it (and how?), or do they consider it untenable? Her dreams are limited, she has got very little in her life to give her hope other than Lysia who inspires her to achieve her potential, and the drive to succeed in killing Guriel. In a way she feels that in doing this, her life will be better and go back to normal, the way it was before the War of the Ring. Then I suppose, that her dream is to have a happy family.
• What is their worst fear? What terrifies them? What do they dread? Is it something terribly personal, or a generic phobia? How did they acquire this fear? Are they ashamed of it? Physical Pain, dark places where there is no light and to most of a degree Guriel Il Galoth. Her biggest fear is that she will not get vengeance. She would never seem outwardly scared, or even admit to it.
• If she could be any famous person, Penthesilia, the Amazon queen who died in the battle of Troy at the hands of Achilles. Why? Because it is everything that represents equality of might between the sexes.
• Where does your character live? Minas Tirith
• Do they get sick? Hardly ever, she is too strong to get sick. (or so she thinks)
• What is your character like when they are drunk? Asks herself a lot of rhetorical questions like
• What is she like when they are grieving/mourning? She is very dark, will not speak, will not eat, will not cry, a silent stone. Can she be broken? Yes, I think so.
• What are they like when they are moody or despondent? She is very passionate but will not strike out. She will take to writing in her journal.
• What is he/she like when they are celebrating celebrating? Do they have a quiet celebration at home, or do they gather their friends together for a big bash? Don’t know, she has rarely celebrated anything in her life.
