1. How old is he?
Just recently Carter turned 14, but in his mind he feels older.
2. What does he do with his spare time?
Carter doesn't have spare time; all he does is practice his sword fighting, sleep and eat. He doesn't have time for anything else. I mean, the "knight" business is pretty serious.
3. Does he see the big picture or live in the moment?
Carter just lives for practicing. He doesn't think either is really even worth it. It's quite saddening actually.
4. Is he a perfectionist?
Yes. If his instructor tells him that he swung the sword wrong, he practices for hours just on that move to be sure that he can get it right. Otherwise, it's not even worth it.
5. What does his handwriting look like? (round, slanted, curly, skinny, sloppy, neat, decorative, etc.)
Well, Carter participated in school until he was eleven. He stopped when his brother died, so he doesn't get a lot of practice anymore. The only thing he writes is his practice logs, so he feels that handwriting is just another thing he knows, but doesn't need. So, his handwriting is a sloppy mess, but definitely able to read.
6. Favorite animal?
Dogs. When he was younger, his family owned a Shetland Sheepdog, but he also died in the fire. Even with Carter's fighting spirit and anger problems, if there is a dog in the stable or in the castle yard while he is eating or moving to and from the training arena, he always stops to give it a bite of food or just some love.
7. Does he have any pets?
I kind of answered that in the last question. He had his old dog and basically cares for all the dogs he sees. He doesn't really like horses, but he occasionally swats the flies from their eyes as he sits in the stable area.
8. Does he have any siblings? How many? Where does he fit in?
He did. His brother, Thomas, who was two years older than him. But he died at the age of thirteen.
9. Does he have a 'life verse' and if so what is it?
Not really. He's not really religious or anything.
10. Favorite writing utensil?
Just a piece of charcoal or occasionally a feather and ink if he's feeling up to it.

That was quite interesting. Some of his stuff is a little boring, since he doesn't really live for much. :p I thought it turned out quite well though. :D

Carter is my brother. Haha ;) this post was rather awkward for me... my brain kept telling me the answers to the questions :P
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah. I basically mushed your brother and Carter from Robin Hood into one character with a few tweaks of my own. :p
