Character Profile: Kris Connolly
What is the first thing people notice about you?
“Used to be my ears until I learned to keep them glamoured when dealing with non-Legends. Now people like to ask about the scar on my nose. They’re always so disappointed when I tell them I don’t remember how I got it.”
How would your friends describe you?
“Emotional. Indecisive. Pessimistic-- what? Um. Fine-- Torey and Gracie want me to say ‘tactful’ and ‘realistic,’ but-- okay, okay!-- Eve says ‘a leader,’ and Seth says ‘patient’ and ‘kind’ but--”
“Um, I like to draw? I’m taking a few drawing classes for my elective. I took up archery when I was a kid, and I’d started going to the shooting range a few years before starting at the Academy. I take ride my motorcycle to clear my head a lot, does that count?”
Which of your relationships are the most important to you?
“Torey and Eve are my best friends, and I didn't have many of those growing up. They’re like family now. And y’know, Gracie is family, she’s my little sister. She was my first and only friend for a long time. As much as we tease each other, as much as we don’t get along sometimes, I don’t think I could live without her. And then Seth... god, I don’t even have the words. I love him so much. Does... do you really have to write this down?”
What do you consider your greatest strength?
"I understand people's emotions really well. And play off of them when I need too. It comes in handy when I need to diffuse a situation."
What do you consider your greatest weakness?
"I can read people's emotions, but not their intentions. It makes it hard to trust them. And trust is a difficult enough thing to give when you've got siren blood. That's part of the reason I didn't have a lot of friends as a kid."
What is your preferred method of travel?
"My bike. Er, motorcycle. My dad started helping me build it when I turned sixteen. We finished it before I left for the Academy."
"I... I'd rather not talk about that."
What is your greatest fear? What is your biggest regret?
"Not being able to protect my friends and family. Especially Gracie. I...I don't want to go into any more detail than that, thanks."
What clothes do you feel most comfortable in?
"T-shirts, flannel and denim. When I'm not in my uniform or tac gear."
What is your most prized possession?
"I guess my bike? Or the knives my mom gave me. I don't use those in combat, though."
"I don't get mad easily. But closed-minded people who don't know how to move forward piss me off."
"Long bike rides. And cuddling with my boyfriend."
What is your strangest habit?
"I pick at my fingernails and can't seem to make myself stop. I play with my fingers when I'm nervous. Or Seth's.
What special talents do you have?
"Special? I don't know about special."
