20.) Does your character have any irrational fears?

    Drowning. Although it's not hard to get Findabhair to go to the beach or a swimming pool, in reality she is a very weak swimmer. She also cannot hold her breath for long periods of time, and finds treading water to be a constant struggle. Because of this weakness, Fina occasionally has nightmares about drowning, which reinforces her water based discomfort. In relation to this, she is also very uncomfortable whenever she has to spend any amount of time on a boat, regardless of size(although she is a bit better with boats like canoes and kayaaks, as she knows that, if they capsize, she can still hold onto them to keep her head above water).

    Large scale disease. This fear only came to light after the events of Halloween, 2011, on Pokemon Platform Island, when a violence-inducing, zombie like epidemic swept the population. This is another scenario that gives her nightmares, but on a much more frequent and vivid basis. This was a very traumatic, life changing experience for her, and the memory still lingers. She was never a huge fan of zombie movies, but now she avoids them like the plague.

    Mega sized Pokemon. Findabhair, ever since she was a child, has had a fear of extremely large Pokemon. This fear does not give her nightmares, fortunately, and is probably the closest to an "irrational" fear that she has. When she was very small, she was with her father at a Pokemon sanctuary when a very sick Onyx went on a small rampage, destroying its enclosure and injuring several park workers. Her brothers' propensity to retell this story didn't help her get over it. She is, in particular, afraid of Onyx.

15.) Is your character an early morning bird or a night owl?

A bit of both. Her natural proclivities as an Umbreon mean that she is one to burn the midnight oil; it's not uncommon for her to be up all night working on a dress pattern, or embroidering tiny details on a skirt. Despite being a bit jumpy and passive, the darkness doesn't frighten her at all. On that note, however, she also enjoys getting up bright and early to watch the sun rise, and loves watching the Pokemon that are active during the day. Whether she sleeps during the day or the night, Findabhair is quite strict on the amount of time she sleeps. Eight and a half hours of sleep, in every twenty-four hour period, no questions. She is so strict on this that she will wake up at the 8.5 hour mark without an alarm clock, and will start to feel drowsy almost immediately upon reaching 15.5 hours of being awake.

10.) Can you define a turning point in your character’s life? Multiples are acceptable.

Moving to Pokemon Platform. Even though it was at her parents' request, she was forced to grow a lot as a person, and become much more independent.

Meeting Yolanda. Although Findabhair isn't aware that she's in love with her yet, the Haunter is definitely her first love. A lot of the growth she has experienced since then has been based on a want to be a better person for Yoli.

Halloween 2011. As mentioned previously, it was a severely traumatic event in the Umbreon's life. Her lack of ability to defend herself, and the visceral reaction she had to the danger present, made her feel extremely vulnerable. It was the reason she left the island, began training with her personal trainer, Mirikah, and entered the Celebration Cup. 

I'm sure there will be more as time progresses.

8.) Day of Favorites! What’s your character’s favorite ice cream flavor? Color? Song? Flower?

Yay, favourites! Findabhair's favourite ice cream flavour would have to be Zabaglione, an egg custard gelato. Findabhair, in general, has a sweet tooth, so she enjoys regular ice cream as well, but all her favourites are gelato. Her favourite colour would actually be a tie between aquamarine and pink. A combination of the two is even better. Her favourite song is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5 in A, the 2nd Movement. She could listen to it all day, every day. It's here, if you're interested: http://youtu.be/caVr-VdeDvw Her favourite flower is the rose. She prefers roses that are yellow, pink, or white, but all in all she loves all of them.
