1. What would your character kill for? What would they die for? Sibyl would most likely claim that she's opposed to killing, but would find out that she is capable of it after all is somebody attacks her with the intention to kill and/or rape. She wouldn't be willing to die for any idea, either, but risk her life for a stranger on the street or a kid drowning in a pond. Modern, unspectacular civil courage that should be a matter of course, but often isn't. 2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why? Quite plainly, she'd refuse to falsify something so it looks good, in a professional context. All those 'restored' works of art that are half fake? She abhors that. She'd probably rather lose a job than, say, make a historical ball gown look sparklier than it was, or testify that something belonged to a person of historical importance when there is no hard evidence. She detests fakes. 3. What do they dream about? She dreams of running her own museum about everyday culture where people can bring their family heirlooms (no younger than WW II!) to be restored, and displayed for a while until they are returned to a place of honour in their owners homes as she thinks it's important people are aware of their roots, and not every should vanish into museum stacks. 4. What’s their biggest fear? Accidentally destroying something she was trying to save. 5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why? A simple brown woollen dress from the 1880s that she found in the attic of her parents' house. It is very well preserved, she takes good care of it, and it fits her well. She's very proud of it, and symbolises all her work is about. 6. What is their fondest memory? A costume party she held for her friends in her parents' home when it was freshly restored, and she was in love for the first time ever. 7. What is their worst memory? An incident in the girls showers in her high school gym, where several cheerleaders made merciless fun of her looks, and got physical. There were black eyes all round (for Sibyl as well). 8. What or who was were their most significant influence? Expound. Her parents -- they believed in the value of history, and roots, and in her right to be herself exactly the way she is. 9. What do they believe makes a successful life? Getting recognition for what you're good at and are ambitious about; turning a hobby into a job and sticking to it; achieving enough material security to reach out for your life's great dream. Everybody can fail, but everyone should at least try once. 10. What makes them laugh? Old cartoons. 11. What are their religious views? She sometimes goes to church, but she doesn't really have any. 12. What is their greatest strength? Her great confidence in herself, her abilities, and her right to be the way she is. 13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it? Sometimes, she is too sunny and forgets the world has nasty teeth that bite you on the rear. 14. Who is the most important person in their life? Still her parents; she's not in a relationship right now. 15. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die? In an avalanche of falling books and boxes, or in a car crash -- and the one to miss her the most would be her mother.
