Interview #1: Emerald

Thank you for participating in this interview. It has been a pleasure to be able to do this feature on you. Before we begin, do you have any opening comments?

A: Only to thank you for having me. I am honored you find me interesting!

What nation or city do you currently call home?

A: I have a home and belong to a guild in Silverblade.

Why is that?

A: Well, its where my adopted parents lived with me before they died. And that is where my guild is located as well.

If you could visit anywhere in the world, what would that place be?

A. For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to go to the overworld. My parents told me I was their angle dropped from they sky.

This also explained why I am the only elf in Silverblade that has wings. Recently however I heard of a place called Toril, and they are said to have a whole colony of winged elves like myself. So now, I am thinking, I am going to learn of a whole bunch of places I want to visit.

What would you consider to be your primary occupation or job?

A: Of the top of my head, I would say getting into trouble. Seriously though, I am practicing my magic and am often asked to do errands for my guild. The Diamond Eye Guild in silverblade is very prestegious.

If you could change jobs, what would you like to switch to?

A: Change jobs? Huh, I never thought about it before. I wish I could cook. My mom was a great cook, but I burn everything.

Of the people you work with/for, who is your favorite?

A: Well, I try to like everyone the same as I want them to like me. I dont know everyone very will right now in my current party, but I would say I like Theo. He is quirky, but he and his brother seem to have good hearts, and I am learning a lot from them about things outside of Silverblade. However, Don Miguel did save my life.. twice. But Farere is very nice as well, when she isnt ordering me to use a sleep spell on her or asking me to pick out hearts from dead animals. But then, maybe that is part of her charm.

Least favorite?

A: Well, he has his moments. The ork that keeps thinking I am a flying chicken. Grak and his brother, Twack. They are fine, but like I said, they just have their moments.

If I was to suggest (hypothetically) that there was a supreme being who created you for his/her/its amusement, what would you say?

A: I would say, I am an elf with wings... anything is possible. What diety do you serve?

Supposing for a moment that this being does, in fact, exist: Can you think of a question you would like to ask him/her/it?

A: I am sure I would have tons of questions if it ever happened, but right now, I cant think of a one.

During the course of the feature evaluation, we had an opportunity to speak to people with whom you associate. Several of them commented that you have a tendency to dive head first into danger without consideration for your own safety. One even went so far as to suggest that you have a proverbial target painted on your chest. Could you please comment?

A. I cant blame them for thinking that. But they dont understand, I am not used to running around like an amimal in the woods. There are all kinds of mean things and creatures out there. I hope they can just have patience with me, and help me not to get killed.

We are curious about all aspects of your life, and the next question may be considered too personal. If you are uncomfortable answering it, please say so.

Several people have commented that you have not exibited any romantic or sexual preferences publically. Winged elves are not well known ~ so could you please comment about the romantic and sexual preferences of your race?

A. My race? I dont think I could speak for my race since I dont know any other winged elves. But as for my sexual preference, I guess I havent ever really thought about it. There has always been so much other stuff to pay attention too. But, I do find some boys cute and interesting from time to time. And I like it when they pay attention to me. I didnt realize it was an issue.

Finally, our organization has, in the past, been able to organize a Pen Pal relationship between people we feature. Would you be interested in such an endeavor?

A. Sure. I enjoy writing and people, so it seems like something I would be interested in.

Thank you for your time! Do you have any closing comments for our audience?

A. I dont think so. Just thank you, its been a pleasure.
