The Girls, Girls, Girls Tag
Guide: answer these seven Qs in the voice of your female character(s), and then tag somebody!
So, I was tagged in this by the wonderful @cawolters (and if you’re not following her already, why not and go check her out!) and thought I’d complete this for one of my characters from More Questions Than Answers. There might be some spoilers in here, but as MQTA is still at the draft 0 / 1 stage so there might be a lot of changes before it’s finished!
Who was your mother and what did she teach you?
My mother was...well, I *think* she was Isobella Genevieve D’Antonio. At least, that’s the name I’ve found, and her picture looks familiar.
I can remember my mother helping me to refine my art, and also - as an odd mix - some psychology including how to read people and some forensic psychology. I think she thought it would keep me safe...*sigh*
Do you have any sisters (related or not)?
I think so... I remember one and I can see her face, but I can’t remember her name or hear her voice in any memories I have of her. I need to find her, especially if she’s in as much trouble as I am.
I also have a found sister in Erin Winter. She’s whip-smart, fiercely loyal, resourceful and, I think, very much in love with Carter - not that he can see it.
How has your gender shaped your path in life?
I’ve seen both sides - my mother came from money, so we could afford whatever we needed. When I had to work after my parents died, I had to prove I was worth far more than my male counterparts - well, the police isn’t an easy job. After that, proving myself as a female PI has been...challenging. Starting out was hard, but now I have a reputation that evens the playing field.
What does the woman you admire look like? Who is she?
Olive-skinned, deep brown kind eyes, long black hair, a ready smile... Yes, my mother - I just wish I could remember her properly. I have the images, but can't remember her voice.
Someone I can remember properly and admire is the 6 foot brunette, brown eyed goddess of a woman I’ve been getting to know recently. *sigh* Erin... How the hell are you mixed up in this?
Why do you think women are considered the gentler sex?
*laughs* Ah, there are some deluded people around. What more can I say.
What is a piece of your personality that you are proud of?
Determination. I’m remembering things now, but I still have gaps on a lot of critical things. I’m not going to rest until I get answers about exactly who I am and what’s happened to my family.
When did you accept your own body and its strengths/weaknesses?
Almost dying does make you accept your weaknesses, and recovering from horrific injuries lets you see the buried strength and determination you never knew you had.
Hopefully this makes some sense as I’ve written it with a bit of brain fog. Kat’s been a long-standing OC, so I’ve got most of an idea about her. It's been interesting filling in a couple of blanks about her.
I’ll tag: @kira-desomma, @elaynab-writing, @adie-dee, @goddessofnothingatall, @crowswritetoo, @aeschknight, @themerrywriter, @roselinproductions, @pens-swords-stuff
If you’ve already done it or don’t want to, don’t worry about it.
