☣ What is their eye colour? Ⴟ Sort of a golden, hazel brown?

☣ What are its people like? Ⴟ All sorts~
☣ Are they aware of its history? Ⴟ Some are, yes, some aren't. Most that think they are...aren't really.

☣ What are their opinion of home? Ⴟ Define 'home'.
☣ Where is their home town? Ⴟ London
☣ What was the area like and how did it affect them? Ⴟ It's a bit...slummy, at least the place she stayed in. It made her tough and adaptable.
☣ Did they witness any historical events? Ⴟ Many.
☣ If so, how did that event impact them? Ⴟ Choosing just one, she witnessed the day the Earth died. It gave her perspective to think, five billion years in the future, no one would even be looking when it died, and also hope to know it'd still be around in five billion years. Presently, it reinforces her denial that the Earth was destroyed.
☣ Are their real reasons for becoming (a traveler) different from what they tell others? Ⴟ Not really, no.

☣ How far would they go to keep such secrets from being revealed? What would they do if the truth became known? Ⴟ Noothing.
☣ What do they fear would occur if the truth became known? Ⴟ This is a lot of assuming she has secrets which...she does not.

☣ Briefly describe a defining moment in their childhood and how it influenced their life. Ⴟ Well, the fact that her father died alone in a hit-and-run accident is something.

☣ Did they have any childhood friends? Ⴟ A few, yes.

☣ Do they have any deep, dark secrets in the past that may come back to haunt them? Ⴟ Jimmy might possibly, but it's not really a secret.
