Le-Vampire-Cat's Improved Character Development Meme
The Basics
1. Are you Male or Female?
Hello there, I'm female.
2. What is your full name?
My name is Demeter, but I have the title of 'Queen Demeter of Elysium'.
3. Does your name have a meaning?
I was named after the Goddess of Agriculture, but I believe it also means 'earth' and 'mother'.
4. Do you have a nickname?
When we were young, Janus and Leto used to call me 'Demmy'! Leto, thankfully stopped this when we were about thirteen, but Janus still does this, privately, of course!
4b. Does your nickname have any meaning or significance?
Oh not really, it was just a silly nickname.
5. What race or species are you? (Human, vampire, fairy, angel, etc.)
I'm a witch, we're native to this area.
6. So how old are you?
(I haven't decided how old she is yet, but I think she's in her thirties.)
7. How old do you appear to be physically? (E.g. A vampire may appear to be 20 but they may really be 200)
I'd like to think that I don't look a day over twenty one! That's probably not true, but a girl can dream!
8. Do you have a longer lifespan than the average human?
I'm sorry...what is a 'human'? (When Demeter was alive humans didn't actually exist xD)
9. Are you immortal?
Probably not, but I don't think I'd want to be anyway.
10. When is your birthday?
May 20th.
12. What is your star sign?
Taurus, the bull...I think Janus would say that's fitting.
13. What is your birthstone?
It's Emerald, which is lovely because green is my favorite color.
14. Do you know what your blood type is?
I'm afraid I have no idea what a 'blood type is'...you must think I'm not very smart. (Again, 'blood types' weren't a thing in Demeter's lifetime xD)
15. What is your nationality? (The country you come from e.g. American, Brazilian, French, British.)
/
16. What is your ethnicity? (The color of your skin/your racial background e.g. Latino, Black, Caucasian, Hispanic.)
I'm black.
17. Where do you currently live?
I live in the kingdom of Elysium, where I've always lived.
18. What is your place in society? (E.g. Poor, rich, middle class, royalty, etc.)
Well...I'm actually the Queen!
19. What time period do you live in?
(She lived in ancient times)
20. Do you have a rank or title? (General, Queen, Duke, Doctor, etc.)
(She's a Queen :3)
Appearance
22. What is your natural hair color?
Naturally my hair is a dark brown color, almost black.
23. Do you dye your hair a different color?
It's possible to dye hair? I'm not sure I'd be comfortable trying that, I think I'll keep the dye to my clothes thank you! (They may be witches but dyeing hair wasn't something people did back then xD)
24. How long is your hair?
It reaches my lower back and is a little bit longer when it's wet.
25. What style do you wear your hair in most of the time? (Ponytail, pigtails, spiked up, etc.)
Oh, I generally leave it as it is, I like my hair.
26. What color are your eyes?
(I'm toying with the idea of making them orange for story reasons , but for now we'll just say they're brown
)
27. Do your eyes have any special properties? (Like flashing, changing color with their mood, the ability to control people)
No, but that does sound interesting. Janus' eyes have powers though!
28. Do you wear glasses or contact lenses?
No I...I don't...I'm sorry, what are 'contact lenses'?
29. Describe your mouth and lips. (Do they have full lips, thin lips, a crooked smile?)
I have very full lips, perfect for kissing! *giggle*
30. Is there anything special about your teeth? (Fangs, missing teeth, a gold tooth.)
My teeth? Not that I'm aware of. Why? Are they supposed to be magical as well?
31. Would you mind describing your nose for me? (Straight, crooked, covered in warts?)
Hmm, I suppose it's fairly wide and straight.
32: Do you have a particular face shape? (Heart shaped, oval, thin, square jaw.)
Yes, it's heart shaped and slightly rounded.
33. Do you have any piercings?
No, I don't really care for them. They sound so painful!
34. How tall are you?
I'm 5'1".
35. Are you overweight, underweight, or an ideal weight?
Oh, um...I've never really thought about it... (I think she's just a little on the pudgy side, her small stature really doesn't help her there x'D)
36. Would you mind telling me what you weigh?
I wouldn't mind...but I really have no idea!
37. Is there anything noticeable about your posture? (Slouching, standing up very straight.)
I think I stand up quite straight because I'm always trying to use every inch of my height to be a little taller!
43. What do you like to wear?
Comfortable flowy robes and dresses!
44. Do you like any particular style? (Goth, emo, punk.)
I like touches of nature such as leaves, vines and flowers.
45. Do you wear makeup?
Only for special occasions, I don't like the way it feels on my skin.
46. Do you wear jewellery?
Mainly for special ceremonies, but I sometimes like to wear simple pieces during the day.
47. Are you left or right handed?
I'm left handed.
Magical properties
50. Were you born with magical abilities, or were they thrust upon you?
I was born with them, that's the norm here in Elysium.
54. Do you have a magical weapon, or do you channel your abilities through your body?
I personally prefer to channel my powers through my body for small, simple, everyday spells, but for special ceremonies and appearances the people like to see something more extravagant, so I often carry a staff of some sort on such occasions.
55. What magical powers or abilities do you possess?
I have the same powers as any other witch, I've merely had more training.
56. Did someone teach you how to use your powers, or were you left to discover them alone?
It's a little bit of both really! My parents and friends taught me what they knew, then I was taken on as an apprentice by the elder in our village, and I spent years being tutored by her. As well as that, every witch learns a lot about his or her own abilities.
Personality
58. Are you religious?
We don't have a set religion as such, but we speak to the earth and the spirits of our ancestors, and of those who came before us. Some of these spirits take the shapes of Gods and Goddesses, and we do seek guidance from these spirits and have ceremonies to honour and celebrate them.
59. Are you superstitious?
In a way...but again, it's linked to our Gods and Goddesses. We believe that if we displease them that they can punish us, again through the earth and the land.
60. Do you have any political beliefs?
Politics is really a very new concept actually. I am the first Queen this village has had. Before we established this new monarchy, we had a village elder, or the most wise and powerful witch among us who would offer advice and help to everyone in the village. The previous elder and I discussed the idea of taking this role a little bit further and spoke to the people about it. It took a while to convince everyone, and there are probably still some people who are unsure, but we believe that it will be the best way to offer help and security to our people moving forward. In ancient times the elder would also pass on her role to her first born child when she became too old to perform her duties any more, and quite a few of the villagers suggested re-establishing this tradition in order to have one family line on the throne...however, I've never believed in this. In theory it's a nice idea, but in practise it's not. A problem our ancestors encountered was that another witch in the village would naturally be a lot stronger than the elder's heir, and so people would seek advice from this person instead, making the elder irrelevant, the tradition almost died out until one elder decided to choose an heir for herself. This is what I will continue to do.
62. Would you consider yourself to be a hero or a villain?
I don't really feel that such a concept exists here....but I'd like to think that I'm a 'hero', I try to put my people first, and I would do anything to protect them.
63. What are your views on sex and relationships? (Do they think it's okay to sleep around or do they believe that marriage should come first) Oh, I couldn't possibly talk about that! *blush*
65. What are your views on life after death?
I believe that our souls join the spirits of our ancestors.
67. Do you agree with murder?
I absolutely do NOT believe in murder! Every life is precious!
68. Would you consider yourself to be violent?
No, I believe that most disagreements can be settled peacefully through words, instead of force, though I am prepared to protect my people any way I have to.
69. Do you agree with stealing?
No, I don't....but I understand why people do it out of desperation.
70. What is your personal outlook on life, are you optimistic, pessimistic, or something else?
I would definitely say that I'm an optimistic!
71. Are you shy, outgoing, or somewhere in between?
I think that I'm quite shy...but being Queen I often have to pretend I'm more confident than I am.
72. Would you consider yourself to be a vain person?
No, I certainly try not to be. Having a title can go to someone's head, so I try very hard to stay grounded. I really am the same as any other witch, I've just been very, very lucky.
73. Do you have any secrets? They won't leave this room .
Well...for a long time, I believed that I could never have children. I was heartbroken and it almost tore myself and my husband apart. Taking on Leto's twins really brought us through that dark period...and a few years later, Janus and I were blessed with our own child.
76. What are your views on homosexuality?
I'm afraid I don't know what that is? (In their culture, different sexualities aren't labelled, it's just natural for someone to fall in love with anyone. A man and a woman can fall in love and no one minds, and a man and a man, and a woman and a woman can fall in love and it's the same, those two people are in love, and that's just the way it is xD...that's why Demeter doesn't understand the concept xD, labelling sexuality would be a modern thing.)
78. Do you think you're rebellious, or would you rather follow the rules?
I try to follow the rules that the elder and I put in place.
79. Do you believe in destiny, or do you believe that you control your own fate?
I'm really not sure...I just allow things to happen as they happen.
82. What is your sense of humour like?
I think I have a silly sense of humour!
83. Would you consider yourself to be honest or do you lie a lot?
I try to be as honest as I possibly can be, unless I think it will hurt someone unnecessarily.
84. Are you trusting of others or are you suspicious of new people?
A good Queen is always willing to give anyone a chance.
85. Are you to be trusted?
Of course!
Romance
89. Do you have a lover at the moment?
Oh yes, I have a wonderful husband!
89a. How did you meet your lover?
We were childhood friends and I suppose we developed feelings for one another as time went on.
89b. Did you automatically get together, or were hearts broken before you did?
I don't know if 'automatically' is the right word, but no hearts were broken!
90. What do you like about your partner?
He's my best friend, and he understands me completely.
91. What do you think your partner likes about you?
Oh, I don't know! My silly sense of humour?
92. Are you or have you ever been married?
Yes, I'm currently married.
92a. Did you propose, or did your lover?
He proposed to me .

108b. Do you keep in contact with them?
Of course, we all live together!
108c. Are you a single parent?
No, no. I have my wonderful husband and sister helping me raise the children.
108d. Does the father know he has children? (A mother would know since she has to give birth, unless your story is set somewhere where men give birth.)
Well the twins don't know their father, but Janus knows that our daughter is his.
108e. Was your child the result of a long term relationship, a one night stand or rape?
She was the result of a long term relationship, she was very, very wanted.
109. Are you a good parent?
I certainly try to be.
109a. Do your children respect and look up to you, or do they hate you?
As far as I'm aware they look up to me, and I certainly hope that they don't hate me!
110. Do you have any friends?
Yes! Janus and Leto are very dear friends.
111. Do you have a best friend?
I couldn't choose between the two of them, they're both my best friends.
112. If you possess magical abilities, did you meet your friends because of your powers, or were you friends before this? (e.g. Mew Ichigo being friends with Mew Mint due to them both being transformed into mews.)
114. At first sight, what do people think of you?
Oh, I'm not sure...if it was a complete stranger, they would probably think 'why isn't that woman wearing shoes?' If they were someone from the village, they might think, 'Is that the Queen? Why isn't the Queen wearing shoes?'
115. Do you think this is true when people take the time to get to know you?
Well..I am the Queen...but I don't like to wear shoes. So I suppose that both of these things are true.
116. Do you consider yourself to be 'popular,' 'unpopular' or neither?
I don't know about popular, but I think I'm well-liked by my subjects.
119. Do you have any pets?

Yes, telepathically mostly.
120. Is anyone protective of you?
Janus is quite protective, and so are the twins, it's adorable!

My friends and my children, my children in particular are very precious to me.

They passed on, but their spirits live on in the village, so even though it's sad, they're still with us.
132. Do you have any regrets?
(I've answered the rest of the questions before the tragedy with the twins took place, but her biggest regret was what she did to Apollo and Artemis, so just for this one question, I'm going to answer with that in mind xD)
Yes...what happened to Apollo and Artemis...that was...I'm so very sorry....

The Writer's Views
175. Has your character changed a lot since you first created them, and if so, in what way?
(Not really, she's still a very new character of mine xD)
176. Do you like your character?
(I do! She's really fun, and I've never created a character like this before, so it's been both fun and challenging .)
177. Do you think you would get along with your character if they were a real person?
(I think so, we're both silly xD)
179. Are they based on another, existing character?
(I think she has hints of Usagi or Neo Queen Serenity from Sailor Moon personality wise, and I used Tiana from the Princess and the Frog as a visual reference for her face and expression )

(I'm going to go with none for now as I don't have my iPod on me xD)
