kairosaetherThe 101 meme
Took me three tries to get this thing posted! :o Basics
1. What is your full name? Do you have a nickname?
Kairos Aether. We don't have middle names. But some call me Kai orFun Size.
2. How old are you? When is your birthday?
19 (or 29, the Nexus is weird.) ; April 16th.
3. Where were you born? Where do you live now? Are you patriotic?
I was born in a small 'country' called Pezenas. Technically part of France, but not French. I live in Sanctuary right now and I guess I'm patriotic. But I know Sanctuary isn't the best place in the world.
4. Who are/were your parents? (Names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
Astrid and Bronsen Aether. High school sweethearts, so in love it's pretty pathetic. I always wanted to have a relationship just like there's. I don't anymore. I don't.. think it's very respectful and on equal terms. Mom quite happily runs the marriage.
5. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
In a lot of ways, my twin sister Kalyca is more like my mom, and I'm more like my dad. Except I don't wear ugly sweaters. (But there's an idea for Halloween!)
6. What is your occupation?
I have a jewelry store and I make art.
7. How tall are you? How much do you weigh?
5'2". 118 lbs. I can't seem to gain any weight, my metabolism sucks.
8. What color is your hair? What color are your eyes?
Blonde and blue.
9. What is your race?
Sylphs tend to be fair haired Caucasians. Pure bloods just don't have black hair.
10. To which social class do you belong?
If you live in Sanctuary, it doesn't matter how much money you've got. You're an outsider. I'm Upper Middle Class, though, if it matters.
11. Do you consider yourself to be attractive? Do others?
Yes. I'm attractive. Others do too, and it's the constant "but you're so pretty! :O" that's kind of convinced me.
12. What is your style of dress?
Free and easy. Lots of color, lots of feminine accouterments. I love being pretty and sexy.
13. Do you have any scars? Tattoos? Birthmarks? Other unique physical features?
Just decades old scars from playground fights. What few I got, anyway. Kids are cruel.
14. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
Physical weaknesses, no. But if I don't indulge my muse, my muse takes over.
15. Are you right- or left-handed?
Lefty.
16. What does your voice sound like?
Mathias says I sound like Allison Krauss. I think she sounds like an angel, so I don't think I sound anything like her.
17. What kind of vocabulary do you use?
French. Our people don't like 'modern' things, so my accent tends to be along the lines of say 17th-century French. ((But her mun was born and raised in the American South, so .. Kairos suffers. LOL))
18. List three quirks or other defining characteristics.
Eccentric, kind, hungry.
19. How often do you bathe? Do you wear perfumes?
Daily, but sometimes more than once a day. It depends on what I've done. Paint can be messy. I love the way pomegranates smell.
20. What kind of facial expression do you commonly wear (dour glare, wry smile, etc)?
Matt says I look at people with determination. When I asked him why, he said that I'm determined to make them friends.

I don't know if I use it, really. It just happens.
22. Do you have a commonly used saying?
"Yes ma'am/sir"
Childhood

My mom blowing fall leaves.
24. How much schooling have you had? Did you enjoy it?

25. Where did you learn most of your knowledge and skill?
Business courses, to teach me not to fail at the shop. Everything else was just.. inherent.
