TEN THINGS YOU DIDNT KNOW
Okay so here's the deal. I'm bored, and want to write down some things I need to remember about my characters. But why post these where no one will see, I asked myself. So.
MEME!
RULES
1. Post with your character
2. Post ten things that you believe are true about your character - yes, go ahead and headcanon this right on up, I personally like that sort of thing.
3. observe others
4. relish information
It is very simple and fun for everyon's edification! Likewise we can learn more about new characters we have round these parts, and be happy.

PANDORA
1. Pandora's never really made the connection between having children and love. As long as she can remember, her parents were separated. She assumes that human relationships are as in the wild, based largely on species fitness, rather than two people in love wanting to start a family. Her only exposure to romantic love is through old movies. She wouldn't recognize the fact she was developing feelings for someone as much more than "feeling awkward" around them.
2. On the same note, Pandora doesn't realize there are any other reasons for people to have, er, relations, other than to bear young. She's quite naive on this front.
3. Her favorite book is Watership Down. She can quote good chunks of the book from memory.
4. Her most cherished possessions are an old wooden ring given to her by her mother, which she keeps hidden at all times, and the last letter she received from her "pen pal", a young Emejre under her mother's care at the SPIA facility.
5. Pandora is a terrific student and skilled in any number of disciplines, and enjoys most of them. Her least favorite is biology, largely due to dissections. She can't stand harming a living thing, and she has a fairly weak stomach, as well.
6. She's not yet had soda, but when she does, look out. It's her favorite thing in the world. She treats carbonated beverages the way some people do wine.
7. She does not use contractions. Ever. She once overheard a scientist, in jest, say he thought contractions were a bastardization of the English language. And she's never used them, since.
8. On a related note, Pandora doesn't get sarcasm all that well. Due to reading so many technical papers and text books, she tends to be very literal.
9. In addition to her science, her missionary father made her read certain passages from the Bible. Despite her father's cruel ways, she found comfort in them and is, in fact, quite religious. She does tend to view herself as something of an abomination, but hopes she will find forgiveness.
10. Pandora's mother was Irish, and her father was born in Mexico. Ironically, her father's family has bloodlines tied to the Batallón de San Patricio. This is significant to her rather unique nature... somehow. ^^

Also, did you post some of pandora's canon (or what you have of it so far?) I'd love to read it. <3
