Interview with an OC
Tagged by @marvilus73 @thewookieruns and @fanthings for real months ago. It took me a while but I really wanted to do this! Thanks friends!
1. What is your name?
Jacqueline Marie Dixon, but I prefer Jackie. Only Danse calls me Jacqueline, and only when I’m acting foolish. So yeah, call me Jackie.
2. Do you know why you’re named that?
Well, it’s kinda a long story...
When my mother was growing up, she had a good friend. An older women who lived next door. She was someone my mom really looked up to, a mentor really. She looked after my mom and made sure she was never hungry or wanting. I never met her and I don’t know what happened to her. Her name was Jacqueline, and so is mine. So I guess I’m named after her.
3. Single or Taken?
Why? You interested?
I’m kidding. And I’m taken by the way. Danse... I don’t know what I did to deserve a second chance.
4. Have any powers or abilities?
I sew? Does that count?
5. Stop being a Mary Sue.
Really? You clearly don’t know me very well.
6. What’s your eye color?
Blue. And brown. But I was born with blue eyes. I have an eye condition and I guess I was a teenager when I noticed the pigment fading.
7. How about hair color?
Are you blind? Blond. My hair is blond.
8. Have any family members?
I have a different understanding of what family means. I love Danse and Shaun more than words can express. I have some really amazing friends too and they might as well be my family. I’ve lost a lot but the wasteland has taught me so much about love and family and honestly, I don’t know what I would do without my found family.
9. How about pets?
I mean there’s Dogmeat. Not sure if he is really mine though. And we seem to have a growing cat population at the Castle... Danse swears he isn’t bringing in the strays but I know he hides them in his power armor.
10. That’s cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don’t like.
Arrogance and people who are willfully ignorant. And waiting. I like things done now and I want them done right.
11. Any hobbies or activities you like to do?
I used to love outdoorsy things but it’s not like I can just go on a scenic hike whenever I please anymore. One of my favorite things is watching the sunset at the Castle. That’s where you’ll find me most evenings, up on the ramparts sharing a quiet moment with Danse as the sun slips below the horizon.
12. Ever hurt anyone in any way before?
Yes. But...uh...I mean...I don’t enjoy talking about the shitty things I’ve done. Can you just ask the next question?
13. Ever killed anyone?
Well, yeah. But it’s not like I’m proud of it. Sure there are some disgusting people in this world, but I don’t know that anyone deserves to die.
14. What kind of animal are you?
A human being? ...that’s a weird question.
15. What are your worst habits?
I tend to say and do things that get me in trouble. My emotions get the better of me and I react impulsively. A lot of times I’m impulsively angry. And sarcastic. I’m not trying to be rude but... I don’t know. People make me nervous and I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut.
Those are probably the worst. I guess I do things like bite my nails, click pens and bounce my leg too. That’s annoying but not super terrible I guess.
16. Do you look up to anyone at all?
Hmm... Well, I do really look up to Preston a lot. I wasn’t right for a lot time after to left the vault. He helped me figure myself out and believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. He’s a good friend and I don’t think I would have kept going there in the beginning if I hadn’t had him.
I look up to Danse too. He’s the most honorable man I’ve met. He’s been through so much and somehow still managed to keep his humanity in tact. He believes in the greater good and helping people who can’t help themselves. He’s selfless and kind and I don’t know what I would do without him.
17. Gay, straight, or bisexual?
I don’t see why that’s any of your business or how it’s relevant, so let’s move on.
18. Do you go to school?
School was a long time ago. After high school I joined the army and eventually went to law school. That was...over two lifetimes ago though...
19. Ever want to get married and have kids?
I...did that once. Nate... I miss him .Everyday. And maybe I always will.
But...I have Shaun, and Danse now. They’re my family and I love them both. More than I could ever express. They are my world and I don’t need a wedding to know that they love me too. Danse and I...we aren’t really married. I mean there was no ceremony or anything, just a private moment and an exchange of rings.
20. Have any fangirls/boys?
I don't know, maybe? I mean I lead the Minutemen and I like to think they look up to me. Not sure if they count as "fangirls/boy."
21. What are you most afraid of?
People like to think I’m brave I’m not, really. There is just always something more important than fear. So maybe it appears that I’m brave but really I’m afraid of a lot of things. Mostly thought I...um...I don't know what I would do if I lost Danse or Shaun. They're my everything, my second chance, and I don't know how I'd be able to live without them.
22. What do you usually wear?
I like practical. Jeans and a t-shirt or lounging in sweatpants is my favorite. If I’m going out on a mission I’ll either wear the Minuteman uniform or my leathers. Just depends on where I’m going and what I’m doing.
23. What’s one food that tempts you?
Ugh. Bread! God I love bread so much. I have a bit of a sweet tooth too but as long as it’s doughy, I’ll eat it.
24. Am I annoying to you?
I mean, this is an interview, right? You’re supposed to ask ridiculous and annoying questions.
25. Well it’s still not over.
Alright. Well, get on with it then.
26. What class are you?
I do alright. Probably better than most, but I don’t think that’s a thing anymore.
27. How many friends do you have?
I’d like to think I have a lot of people who care about me. My closest friends? There’s Geers and Haylen. Preston and Piper are good friends too.
28. What are your thoughts on pie?
I could take it or leave it. Pie isn’t quite the same these days, but before the war I loved me a good pecan pie.
29. Favorite drink?
I have a bit of a coffee problem and I don’t really drink alcohol. My father was a drunk and it’s not something I aspire to be. So mostly it’s coffee and water. Nuka Cola if I want a treat.
30. Favorite place?
The Castle ramparts. That’s place I feel closest to nature and where I feel most peaceful. I love the smell of the ocean and the sound of waves. The sunsets are beautiful too and if I close my eyes, for a moment it feels like nothing has changed.
31. Are you interested in anyone?
Didn’t you ask me this already? I told you I’m taken. I love Danse so, so much. So, there’s your answer.
32. Would you rather swim in the lake or the ocean?
Neither. I don’t particularly want to die of radiation poisoning. It’s a slow, painful and horrible death so I think I’ll stay away from the water.
34. What’s your type?
Tall, dark and handsome. I know it’s cliche, but you’ve seen Danse right? If anyone fits the build, he does.
35. Any fetishes?
No. And even if I did I wouldn’t share them with you.
36. Camping or outdoors?
Camping is outdoors, you know that right? So...both?
