I like to think myself fairly refined and well-educated.

I can't pick one out that is distinctly the 'earliest'...

33. What is your greatest regret?

I'm an open book. If you know how to read it.

Hmm, I wonder. :>

No. Not anymore.

I wish I could, but I'm afraid I don't.
43. What is your greatest fear?
There's not a lot I fear that I haven't run into before.

Allen sometimes makes me all of those. Thomas, too. They're just... like that, I suppose.

At this point, I place my hands over my ears and close my eyes.

Nasty human vices.

Not very. Once upon a time, I would've taken it far. But I guess... all the fight's just left me, huh?

I couldn't care less about it. Thomas handled the finances before, and Allen's unassumingly taken it over now.
50. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
Take a life that was needed.
51. Do you believe in self-sacrifice for the greater good?
No. Humans are selfish creatures, and we don't care about the greater good. If there was a 'greater good' I wouldn't have lost him to it, would I?!

I guess it's Allen's turn to fill that role. *sigh* [thomas will probably always have that role...]
58. Who is the person you respect the most? Despise the most? Why?
I greatly respect no one at this point. There isn't anyone who deserves my respect anymore. That's not to say I despise anyone, though... I guess I'm just growing into a bitter old woman.
59. Do you have a significant other? Who? Why?
I had one. Not anymore. [much to allen's dismay] Thomas was my fiancé once upon a time.
60. Do you have a lot of friends? Who is your best friend?
Uh... Actually I don't. Most of the Inven in my class are dead or married and raising kids of their own. I don't keep in contact. Allen's become my dear friend, and I suppose he and Nathan are a package deal... and if there's Nathan then there's Sonya...
61. How do you relate to members of the same race? Class? Sex?
The same as anyone else.
62. How do you relate to members of a different race? Class? Sex?
The same.

...nothing anymore. I'm tired of love.

I avoid, unless it's something worth arguing about.

A listener sometimes, a talker sometimes.

It depends. I trust Allen on principle, but others, not so much.

I guess I do.
71. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
Yes. It usually comes with being the tallest and *cough* oldest.
72. Do you like interacting with large groups of people?
Not particularly.
73. How well do you express yourself?
Well. :>
74. How quickly do you judge others?
Not quickly at all. Impressions of others are constantly changing, after all. Example one: Allen. *nod*
75. Do you care what others think of you?
At this point, not at all.
76. Do you have any enemies? How or why are they your enemy?
Just the abstract ones Sovine's fighting.
PERSONAL TASTE AND OPINIONS

78. What are your preferences in arts and/or entertainment?
Classical things. Old things. Beautiful things.
79. Do you smoke, drink, go whoring, or use drugs? Why or why not?
I don't do any of the above. They're just not for me, and not very healthy, either.

A... A happy family.
82. How long is your attention span?
Long.
83. Do you laugh a lot? What do you find funny?

84. Is there anything that shocks or offends you? If so, what?
Abortion offends me. Greatly. ...And Allen's frank devotion is something that still shocks me.
85. How do you deal with stress?
Reading and ignoring it. Not healthy, but it gets me through things.
86. How much athletic ability do you have? Artistic?
I'm fit and flexible, but not particularly strong or fast anymore. I can paint a little and I'm pretty sure I remember how to play the piano.
87. Do you like animals? Do you like children?
I adore both.
88. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
I like plans better, but spontaneity has its uses, primarily on the battlefield.

Not at this time, no.
SELF-IMAGE

95. What goal do you most want to accomplish in the next six months? Your lifetime?
For the time being, survive the next six months. Maybe someday... start a new family...

I would've preferred to die with Thomas.

Being a good mother.
