Yildgrunn
🐇 What animal would they say best represents them?
She'd say it was the noble badger: mighty, warlike, and determined to persevere!
(Dwarves tend to, for obvious reasons, subconsciously limit their heraldic symbols and fursonas to burrowing creatures. The badger is basically the dwarven heraldic equivalent of the lion.)
🔥 What’s their favorite candle scent?
She really likes woody scents, but also has a soft spot for jasmine.
🐝 What stereotypical high school clique would they fit into?
The jocks, but definitely the girl jocks--the girls who played soccer and basketball and hung out with the cheerleaders, but got away with being not quite as femme as they were because they Did Sports. (I don't know how stereotypical this is, but that was a definite actual clique in my high school.) Though she wasn't one of the really popular kids, she was one of the ones who hung on the edges but was permitted because they were on the team together.

Ryxtlin
📚 If they were the protagonist in any book series, what series would they choose? Alternatively: what would be their favorite book?
This is hard! My immediate instinct is actually to say the Harry Potter series, because she'd like being allowed into a wizard school and basically being The Chosen One, but I think she'd chafe at the institution of Hogwarts and the whole thing where Harry's status and power come from his parents. I wish I remembered the Percy Jackson series better, because if I am remembering it correctly, they beat out arrogant opponents by working semi-outside the system, and she'd definitely go for that.
Or, to go non-fantasy, I think she'd really enjoy being Miles Vorkosigan. Underestimated and derided for his physical abilities, but smart and capable enough to run rings around his opponents, and always coming out better at the end than he started with.
💳 What one thing that they don’t need do they waste the most money on?
Fancy wizard-looking clothes! Depending on how we define "need," anyway, because Ryxtlin's reasoning is that she has enough of a disadvantage in being taken seriously that she needs to wear the fancy wizard outfits to balance that out. If we're talking something that even Ryxtlin admits she doesn't need, it's probably either tasty snacks or decorative trinkets.
🃏 If you had to choose one tarot card to represent them, what would it be?
The Chariot! Going by my tarot book, both the upright and reversed meanings fit well for her.

Vasuvinti
💅 What are some things they have strong opinions about?
Pretty much all of her opinions are strong opinions! Vaz doesn't believe in being lukewarm about something. But she feels very strongly about fair competition (if you don't make sure the playing field is level, there's no pride in having won!), acting compassionately towards others (indifference and cruelty corrode the soul and cause you to dissociate from your inner self), and stretching routines (they're not just vital, if you do them right, they're fun!).
⛄ What’s their favorite season and why?
Summer! She feel obliged to like it best, since "summer's child" was one of her nicknames as a child, but she also really likes the heat.
🍑 Which emoji would they use the most?
🌞 (why post a mere smiling face when you could smile with the sun's enthusiasm?)

Phyrea
🔫 What would they die for? Kill for?
Phyrea would die for Tiaathque or any of her family, easily. She'd also die, in general, to protect an innocent. Overall, though, she's of the "I would die for this, but I'd rather make you die for it" school of handling villany, so she'd kill for all of the above and more! She's actually very cavalier about killing anyone she sees as having bought too deeply into the Bad Systems she's trying to overturn and uproot, in part because she's very bad at articulately talking them around.
🌹 What songs remind you of them?
Burn It Down, by Vixy & Tony, is a ship song for her and Tiaathque for me, but it's very much Phyrea's attitude and voice speaking throughout.
💉 Which Deadly Sin do they most correspond to? Which Heavenly Virtue?
Pride (with a definite side-helping of Wrath) and Courage.

Housin
🎲 Do they have any vices?
Housin is one of those people who, asked to name their flaws, would provide you with a list that looks suspiciously like "has actual human emotions when they think they shouldn't," but as for actual vices.... She's not supposed to take intoxicants, since they interfere with her faculties, but she's had to get tipsy "to successfully accomplish the task" a lot more than is really reasonable. And there's the whole... coldly assassinating people thing. Also, she gives in a lot to anger, since she's successfully pretzel-twisted herself into believing that any deep desire to do harm to someone is borne from logical grounds and a sense of righteous justice, given that she, supposedly, doesn't feel anger.
🍰 What’s their favorite food?
Raisins. Or grapes. Or anything derived from grapes (when the mission requires her to drink, it's funny how it usually requires her to drink wine). But raisins are the most common and "permitted" treat.
⏳ How do they feel about death?
It's a natural part of life! Given that she's a former gladiator and a part-time assassin for her monastery, Housin doesn't feel a lot of weight around it. She's supposed to--the theory of her monastic training is that she judges the impact of each death around her carefully, and kills with the understanding of its import--but she's already fucked up enough about emotions that she never was able to really pick up on that and internalize it properly.

Rudnik
🎉 Do they celebrate any holidays? How do they celebrate?
Back home, Rudnik celebrated all the traditional dwarven holidays--the Feast of Smiths, Silvernight, the Deep War anniversaries, and so on--but they're mostly social holidays, and he doesn't have the social structure for them as an adventurer. Also, a lot of the religious ones, he doesn't feel right participating in anymore with his warlock connections. A few of the rest, mostly the solemn memorials, he tries to honor quietly on his own in some small way or another.
And once he's in a party, he definitely finds or makes everyone Silvernight gifts, even if the rest of them don't recognize the holiday.
🌙 Which D&D class would they play as?
He'd play as a fighter. Solid, sturdy, able to protect the group and take the big hits without going down, with a purely physical approach to obstacles. Not a self-insert, but definitely some wish-fulfillment going on.
🙁 What do they consider to be their worst quality? What actually is their worst quality?
He would consider his worst quality to be his cowardice--he's afraid of his patron, he's afraid of his own priests and society, he's afraid of the awful thing he's committed to fight. His actual worst quality is probably his behavior towards those he thinks of as his lessers, which includes his unthinking bigotry, his snap judgements based on appearance, and his overall rudeness to people he finds, based on those judgements and presumptions, wanting.
