Meet the Character: River Colquhoun
► Name ➔ River Colquhoun, but the people in my homeland still know me as Kana Hosokawa. ► Are you single ➔ No, despite the generally missing status of my boyfriend. ► Are you happy ➔ Yes. ► Are you angry? ➔ I have a temper, but I am not familiar with real anger. ► Are your parents still married ➔ Yes, I discovered they are both still together and living well.
NINE FACTS
► Birth Place ➔ Sui-no-Sato, beneath the Ruby Sea. ► Hair Color ➔ Ginger, like my father’s. ► Eye Color ➔ Aqua blue, not unlike sea glass, as my mother used to tell me. ► Birthday ➔ 1st Sun of the 3rd Umbral Moon (June 1) ► Mood ➔ (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑ ► Gender ➔ Female ► Summer or winter ➔ I spent the first 18 years of my life in a rather cold bubble underwater. Winter feels like home, but I definitely prefer the warm sun on my face. ► Morning or afternoon ➔ Quiet mornings are perfect for work and training! It’s so noisy when the rest of the company wakes.
EIGHT THINGS ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE
► Are you in love? ➔ I’ve built a happy little something-something with a certain dragoon. ► Do you believe in love at first sight? ➔ Infatuation at first sight, sure, but love is on another level. ► Who ended your last relationship? ➔ He died. ► Have you ever broken someone’s heart? ➔ Sadly, yes. I was young and faced with a difficult decision. ► Are you afraid of commitments? ➔ Not at all. I think we get the most meaning out of life from the things we’re dedicated to. ► Have you hugged someone within the last week? ➔ I hug my ototo about as much as I fight with him, which is several times a day. ► Have you ever had a secret admirer ➔ Well, maybe? If I knew, it wouldn’t really be a secret... ► Have you ever broken your own heart? ➔ Listen, I craft every blade, every tool, every gods-damned lalaffellin step stool with the utmost loving care and every time one of these fine items leaves my workshop I pocket my money and feel a new hairline crack form on my heart. It’s nothing that I can’t fix with a few strikes of hammer on steel, though.
SIX CHOICES
► Love or lust ➔ Oh, I’m fond of both. ► Lemonade or iced tea ➔ Care for some hot tea instead? ► Cats or Dogs ➔ Bears. And one adorable little mameshiba... ► A few best friends or many regular friends ➔ A few best friends. I keep the company of many, but we all have a circle of trust, right? ► Wild night out or romantic night in ➔ A wild night out; be it in Limsa, Ul’dah, or the back streets of Kugane, there’s always heads to bust and a good time to be had. ► Day or night ➔ Daytime. I’m a busy lady.
FIVE HAVE YOU EVERS
► Been caught sneaking out ➔ I don’t sneak. If I mean to go somewhere, you’re hardly going to stop me anyway. ► Fallen down/up the stairs ➔ Well I’ve tackled someone down stairs more than once... ► Wanted something/someone so badly it hurt ➔ I’ve been sick to my stomach worrying about the safety of those I care about, plenty. ► Wanted to disappear ➔ I have no reason to do that again.
FOUR PREFERENCES
► Smile or eyes ➔ Eyes are wonderful, but earning that smile is the best. Especially if he’s a sullen bastard and he makes it exceedingly difficult. ► Shorter or Taller ➔ Ooh... I like them tall. ;) ► Intelligence or Attraction ➔ A bright mind behind a pretty face? ♥ ► Hook-up or Relationship ➔ Relationship, but I could be liberal in my single days.
FAMILY
► Do you and your family get along ➔ We’re repairing our relationship, little by little. I’m looking forward to it. ► Would you say you have a “messed up life” ➔ I’ve dealt with some shit in my life, but I’ve made the best of it. ► Have you ever ran away from home ➔ Yes. Not long after I reached adulthood, I left home very much against the wishes of my parents and community. Until recently I was still technically in exile. ► Have you ever gotten kicked out ➔ Technically I... kicked myself out?
FRIENDS
► Do you secretly hate one of your friends? ➔ That would be absurd. ► Do you consider all of your friends good friends? ➔ Only the ones I consider... good friends? ► Who is your best friend? ➔ I am very close to two of my young lieutenants, Cendres and Tobias. ► Who knows everything about you? ➔ I try to be an open book to the members of my free company, and especially to my officers. My (lovingly adopted) daughter likely knows the most about me, though.
