*sniff sniff* wow! This Topic has grown so much, now people are having conversations with each other! And I am not even involved!!! 🥲
If you reach for the stars, you get the stars. But if you reach for heaven you get the stars with it
CARROT CAKE! YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!
Huntress: We did eventually. For Scout it took a while, a bit longer than me.
Oh, that’s good!
Scout: She probably would feel a bit sorry for them if it weren’t for the fact that she usually only finds them dead already.
Okay, uhm… I don’t know why we are still talking about this.
Huntress: Ha!
Scout: Y’know, I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone make that mistake before.
(Sniper stands behind them, his tail lashing in amusement and a smirk on his face, but he doesn’t say anything)
I guess I am just a little slow…
Huntress: *bursts out laughing*
Scout: What do you mean? I don’t look any different from you!
Sniper: *look of slight offense, as he realizes that the “weird alien thingy” comment was probably mostly directed at him*
Carrot Cake: “Oh… I guess you don’t! But HEEE does!” *Carrot Cake points at Sniper* “And you have a weird devils tongue… ARE YOU FROM HELL?! Is there fire there? But I think that weird girl looks weird too! She must be weird, and as weird as can be! Did I mention she is weird? She has weird eyes!” *Carrot Cake uses her fingers to make her eyes wider.* “What is it like to be non-human!? I have always wondered what a dog thinks of?!?”
OKAY! CARROT CAKE! THAT IS ENOUGH!

You sound like a very uh… charming? person Celarent! You seem like you need some…. help? So I have a character who is a royal advisor! And she would like to ask you a few questions!!! Just… don’t rob her… she is the kings niece.
“Hello, it is nice to meet you, Celarent!” *Celestia curtsies*
I am a man of mystery.
“May you please explain that? Are you quiet? Dangerous? Do you often solve mysteries? Or start them? And does this relate to how you are a thief?
*Celestia is sitting neatly on her chair, her arms on her lap of her dress, and looking kindly at Celarent. She uses a lot of hand gestures to imply different things.*
Brat, jerk, freak, thief, murderer, useless, maniac, fraud, charlatan, and mercenary are all words I’ve heard. I prefer charming, handsome, and genius, but alas, everyone who’s ever called me that changed their minds after I ran off with their money.
“Oh…. Those are some…. awful descriptions! Uhm…. do you have any friends? And do you know why people call you that? Maybe you should try putting trust into a relationship, and… maybe…. you know…. not harm or steal from people?”
Nothing. Why should I?
“Are you sure about that? I bet you COULD contribute a lot to the world!… And as for the why should you… there are people in a worse state than you! They are totally hopeless! And have nothing! You could help them! The world may be a dark place, but you still have to be good! It reminds me of a poem I once heard!” *Celestia pauses to think.* “It is called anyway! Here it is:
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.See? You can learn from it!”
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to break into a Council meeting? Or bandage stab wounds? I think not.
“Well… actually… I do!… But that is a long story…. And it was back when I was not a good person.” *Celestia looks down shamefully*
Money.
*Celestia stays quiet…. as if she… agrees with him…*

okay! So even though it is only linked to two characters, and those characters are for some reason super recognizable, I should still use it?! Okay! Thanks! These are the only apparent existing Celestias btw:
I find it funny how they are polar opposites! XD One is all sparkly YAY GIRLY GIRL!!!! and then the other one is a darkly dressed girl, who looks like a haunted doll… (Now whenever I think of my character Celestia I am doomed to think of these two 😂😭😂)

What?!??!?!??! These questions are PErfEctLY noRMaL!!!!!!!
Your brain is braining as well as mine!
Have you ever managed to burn something which everyone deemed unburnable?
Everything is burn able! It may not catch on fire, but you can melt it down! I once burned a kettle! Everything can be engulfed by the amazing fire! Also… why does everyone ask me fire related questions? I mean like, I like it and all! But I have other interesting tales too!!!!! Like the time that I was stranded on that island!? oh wait…. that was just an escape room… Uhm, what about the time I was in a plane crash?! Wait… that was a simulation… I am just memorable because I like fire?! Is that all people remember me as?! Wow!…. that is………. AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Also, if a carrot cake you once burned came to life and asked you why you burned it, what would you tell it?
Funny story actually, this happened to me once! I was setting my carrot cake on fire, when the craziest thing happened! I started hearing my carrot cake, scream!!!!! I didn’t know why, so I did the most logical reaction! And I started screaming back! Well it didn’t like that, and I heard its screams multiplying! Like a bunch of cakes were screaming! So I started looking around for help! And that is when I saw the bad guys arrive! They are the worst! And always put out my precious fires! They can never catch me though! Anyway, when I went home, I had a dream about the carrot cake! It was asking me that same question! I said to it: “I am so sorry! If I knew you were alive, I would have never killed you to death!” And it said. “Well now you have to bake one hundred carrot cakes!!! AND BURN THEM ALL FOR ME!” so I listened to it! Unfortunately it ended up lighting a tree, and the na HUUUGGGEEE forest fire took place! So my moral is: “Always listen to a carrot cake when it screams at you!” Hope that was helpful!

Huntress: Our mother was pretty great, especially since it’s not just us and we have seven older brothers. Our father…..Well, we thought he was a bad dad, since he left us when we were almost too young to remember him. But it turns out, he was mostly trying to protect us, so he gets some points for that.
Oh. Wow. Sorry to hear that! But hopefully you guys have made up…?
Huntress: Only if I’m wandering through the grass or forest.
Scout: Sometimes I have to catch little house spiders and take them out to the porch cause my daughter doesn’t like it when I squish them. She thinks it’s gross.
I find it funny that your daughter only finds it “gross” and doesn’t feel bad for them, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree I guess!
Scout: *snickers* “Is he a good friend.” *points toward Huntress with his thumb* Ask her, she’s married to him.
Huntress: Yeah, I guess you could put it that way. He was born on the planet Staten, but was adopted and raised on Australis. He’s an Argonite, which means he has a tail and claws like a crocodile, can breathe underwater for a while, and great eyesight. And before you ask, no, we don’t have any children.
Oop! I probably should have realized… with all the hinting and whatever.
Scout: Nahh, it’s fine!
Phew, good!
Scout: How am I not interesting?
Huntress: People have different understandings of “interesting,” Scout.
Well, Carrot Cake hasn’t met you yet… and she has a “weird” definition of “Interesting”…. Ya know? With fire an-
Carrot Cake: “Did someone say fire?!” *Carrot Cake bursts into the room* “Sorry, I thought I heard fire! Oh, who are these weird alien gross looking thingys? They look like my mother-in law! If I had a mother-in law that is… Anyway!”

So real quick, I am practically saying this to anyone who will listen… I wanted to do the interview for a character I have named Celestia (which means heavenly, and I love that name!) But when I was wondering: “Hey, I wonder what characters have this interesting name?” So I looked it up, and only two characters appeared…. A My Little Pony character and an Anime character (😭😭) It almost makes me not want to use the name. So should I use it?

Oh! Fascinating!
Huntress: Well, we’re able to modify the colors and patterns of our skin, but normally we just look like humans. There’s also a bunch of faint stripes on our bodies, that you can best see under a black light.
Scout: Normal Changelings also have forked tongues and eyes like a cat’s, but we don’t have the cat eyes. I have a forked tongue though, see? *sticks it out really far to prove the point and gets weird looks from a bunch of the other characters*
Huntress: I can camouflage, but Scout can’t. He also has much fewer stripes than me. I have a few on the sides of my face, but all of his are hidden under his clothes.
That is amazing!… But I don’t think you have to show me… with your tongue and all.
Scout: Oh, yeah! Ma lives nearby me.
Huntress: Our dad’s alive too…..but we thought he was dead for a long time. It’s a long story.
Wow… That is funny that I asked that! Huh? Are they good parents?
Huntress: Well, it’s not specifically three inch roaches. That’s just the biggest we get on Australis. I just don’t like them. They’re too crawly and nasty-looking. And yes, if one was crawling on me, I would definitely freak out. I don’t hate little tiny spiders, but the big ones have TOO. MANY. LEGS. and they’re so nasty when they die and curl up….ugh *shudders*
Do spiders often crawl up you? And if they do, then you are SO lucky! I want more spiders to crawl up me!
Huntress: That’s funny, I actually have been stuck in the middle of the jungle before, and it was with Sniper. He’s the best kind of person to have in that sort of situation.
Scout: Okay, Huntress is right. With Sniper on our side, we’d make it out of that jungle pretty quickly.
I think I’ve heard stuff about sniper. Is he a good friend? And where is he from again?
Scout: Yep! Four of them! Two are more human, one’s got Changeling camouflage, and one’s got the wings and tail of an Ornithiform. As for my wife….
Huntress: He’s divorced. Long story. Completely separate from the other long story though.
Scout: But I didn’t let that stop me from giving my kids the best lives they could have despite the situation!
Huntress: Yeah, I suppose.
Scout: Now is Huntress a good aunt? Well, so far she hasn’t given them any weapons yet, so I guess so.
Oh, I am sorry! I didn’t wanna bring up any sad memories!
Scout: Carrot Cake is the one who likes fire, right? Ha! She reminds me a bit of Pyro. Just less scary…since we can talk to each other and I can tell her not to burn me…..
Oh yeah! Don’t worry! Carrot Cake would never burn something that is alive… Well… yet… that is… She just started out burning cakes… but I think she did burn down her childhood house. She hasn’t tole me why. But yeah! She might ignore you though, she only talks to people she finds interesting…

Oohhhh! That is simple! I put my blood, sweat, and tears into making carrot cakes! I love them so much! Before all of… this… happened, I would make a carrot cake every week! Half the time I wouldn’t eat, I’d give it away to my friends!… I don’t have any family left. Anyway! If I kept the carrot cake, I would eat one slice, then put A LOT of candles on it! Light them all! And it would go up in flames! I once burned down my apartment because of that!… And ever since then, I found it more fun to burn… bigger… things.

Hello! I have a few questions for you two!
So, what are the common abilities that most changelings get? You are changelings.. right?
Are your parents alive?
Why do you *huntress) have a fear of spiders and SPECIFICALLY there inch roaches? If a four inch roach was crawling on you, would you scream or freakout?
If you two were stuck in the middle of the jungle, who would you want to be stuck with?
And finally, Scout, you have kids?! How old are they? Who are you married to? (if married at all 😳) and is Huntress a good aunt?
(Oh, and I think Scout and Carrot Cake would get along well XD)
If you reach for the stars, you get the stars. But if you reach for heaven you get the stars with it
(lol, it is okay!)
Hm? Do I have any royal advisors? Of course I do! I also am an advisor for the king himself! It is weird how Kaimor is broken up! It is like one giant island kingdom, but then there are regions that are split up! So I rule over a whole are, but King Emmanuel rules over us all! Well, I have three close advisors! One of which is shared between me and the other three Keepers! She is my favorite! Her name is Celestia! She is so kind, and is the niece of the king! Would you like to now more about her?
(Wow, I am having TOO much fun with this! XD)
If you reach for the stars, you get the stars. But if you reach for heaven you get the stars with it
Hello…. Do you mind if I join in? Rapha (from Kingdom of Kaimor) walks in after Carrot cake
1. What is your full name?
My full name? It is Princess Rapha Aalto, Keeper of the throne of healers. I do not have a middle name, my kind do not find a use for one.
2. What is the most important thing the average person should know about you?
I am never afraid to help! I am the kind of person you would go to when you are unsure whom to go to!
3. What is your body language right now? [Describe them in the interview, sitting/standing, fidgeting, etc.]
Rapha is sitting, her hands are neatly folded on her lap, and her posture is well. She has a smile on her face, and is keeping eye contact. When she says something, she usually nods after wards
4. How would other people describe you?
Well, I believe most people say I am kind but strict! And I am well trained in speech patterns and posture! I also can’t lie… anyone can tell when I am lying.
5. Where do you live? What is your race/ethnicity?
I am an Arraia, pronounced Uh-HIGH-uh. I am a special kind of… human… I like to say! With the abilities of a ray, but the attributes of a human. My skin is blueish gray.
6. What do you contribute to your world?
Not much to the whole world, but I am very important in my kingdom, though! I keep every living thing on the island in good health! Plants, animals, and people! It is my job, and my people, to keep the island alive! Thriving! Without us our island would be no more than a LARGE rock… a very large rock.
7. What kind of struggles do you face in your everyday life?
Well, right now we are at war with some of the other islands around us…. and we have to keep the island alive! Plus I have to rule over my people! And to add to that, I HAVE to find a husband to bear an heir… but I think I have already found someone, would you like me to send him in next?
8. What motivates you?
Children! They are so hopeful! So innocent! They believe the most wonderful things! They are so thoughtful, energetic, and bold!

Ughhhh! More questions?! Fine!
Why do you like fire?
I…. I don’t know…. I just….. no…. NO! NOT HIM!!!!….I mean…. I just feel safe around it! I think something happened in my childhood….? Or I could be over thinking it!
What about it is so cool or appealing to you?
It makes me feel safe. I think everything can die to fire, and having something that destroys all… destroys life… having that by my side, I feel like I have a private body guard… I feel like it dances for me too, like it is my friend. It feels… alive… in a way… and I always need to feed it…
Also, what do you think about the nickname CC?
Am I a carbon copy?! What do I look like?! A Creative Commons?!… I like it!
Wait! Back to your second or first or blah blah blah question… I remember the fire saved me once! There was… a bad man! And it took him away! Forever! So that’s good!

YOU’RE A VERY INTERESTING CHARACTER! Oh wait…. that was a compliment… THANKS! (^-^)

Oh! Thank you! Yeah! She is a bit traumatized, so she acts like a young child even though she is practically a young adult. That’s her response to trauma! :3
