[ Also EDIT: I realized after the fact that you sent this to Mirela and I filled this out for Abigail so, yeah… If you want to know about Mir, I can make a second post :’) ]

11. What is your OCs spirit animal?
Hmm. I’ve not really considered this one to be honest so I went and took a quiz as her and got an otter.
Characters: Mayra, Elora, Pirrik, and Zelia in the Aspect of Crow trilogy; Gina in “The Wild’s Call”; Erik in “Storm Reaper”
Otters are nurturing, playful, and easygoing. You often put others’ needs before your own, offering what seems to be a bottomless well of compassion and care. Though your decisions are guided by your feelings, at heart you’re pragmatic and self-possessed, making you the ideal head of a family or small business.
Best matches: Horses, Wolves, Swans
Watch out for: Foxes, Cougars, Hawks
It seems fairly accurate by the description so I guess I’ll go with the otter as being her spirit animal.
25. What time of year does your OC prefer?
This is a tough one. Honestly, she loves all of the different seasons for different reasons. Living in Tennessee, there are very distinct differences between all of the seasons, unlike in some places.
She loves spring because everything starts returning to life and there are so many colors. Pinks, greens, yellows, reds, blues, et cetera. This is also when she and her mother work on getting new flowers planted in the garden.
She loves summer because it’s sunny and warm, and her mother tends to make lemonade or iced tea. She’s not beyond running around her parents farm barefoot during the summer months, in a summer dress or in overalls with her hair either loose or simply pulled back with a ribbon.
She loves fall because of harvest time (which she did help with every year until she volunteered for the Army Nurse Corps and was shipped out). She especially loves watching the leaves change colors. Fall also often includes cider and cinnamon-spiced oatmeal. And of course, there’s Thanksgiving and she loves that because her four older brothers are married and have kids and Thanksgiving always means a big get together.
She loves winter because it often means snow and frost. Though she generally dislikes the cold, she adores the beauty of the snow and frost. Winter means a fire in the fire place, warm drinks, and, again, Christmas. As above, Christmas always means the whole family gets together.
If I had to say her absolute favorite one, I’d say that it would probably be fall, but even then, it only beats the others out by a little bit.
43. Who is your OCs biggest hero?
This is another one that has several sections to it.
Specifically, her parents are her biggest heroes. They managed to keep the farm and much of their community going even through the Great Depression, giving food out to neighbors and families they knew were struggling, and they never expected a thing in return. On top of that, they also raised her and her four older brothers the best that they could and were always there for advice or support, took them to church, and saw to it that they were educated.
In terms of famous individuals, Florence Nightingale (founder of “modern” nursing) and Clara Barton (founder of the Red Cross as well as the National First Aid Society) would both definitely be at the top of the list.
Lastly, in a general sense, her biggest heroes would be all of those who enlisted to fight in the war. This would be even more true now as she’s seen the horrors of it and knows, to varying degrees, what they’ve been through.
