Prompts/Questions
What is your Kalon’s first, middle, and last name (if they have one)?
-Nadia 'Storm' Blackwood
Story Behind their Name:
To be honest, I was just wanted something I liked and would never tire of. It needed to sound like it fit her and neeeded to sound like it was royal. I actually looked and many other different names for her before deciding on Nadia. As for the name 'Blackwood', I wanted a two word last name that would reference her heritage and be able to be passed down without a second thought about it being royal. That I like the sound of it.
Does your Kalon have a human appearance as well? If so, what do they look like?
Only Nadia has one,
Her hair color would stay the same but her skin color would be a tannish/white with faint freckles. She does have somewhat of a Snaggle tooth, and usually has her ear piercings in, cuffs and studs. Her build is somewhat thin, though she is well muscled due to her exploits. This is the type of dress I'd see her in this,
Hair wise, I personally would see it look like XXX(sue me cause all I can see her wearing her hair formally is like Azula from Avatar) Cause to me, you wouldn't really be able to see it except for the pieces near her face.
Does you Kalon have any family members? If so, blood related or adopted?
-Nadia has her parents, King Stephen Blackwood and Queen Amira Blackwood. She also has a sister,Princess Amelia Blackwood.
Who is your Kalon the closest too? Why?
-Nadia is closest to her father when he's her father not when he's acting kingly.
What sort of occupation does your Kalon have? Do they enjoy it?
-Nadia is a princess, and while her sister loves the attention and the work, the only thing Nadia loves about it is meeting her people, other than that, she could care less.
List some of your Kalons likes and dislikes and give an explanation as to why.
Likes:
Snow - She loves winter and the cold and quiet it brings.
Nighttime - It helps her escape the way her life is and gives her hope for the future, and helps conceal her when she's out theiveing
Birds - Though they are on the edge of dislike, she loves how they can go anywhere they want whenever
Coffee - She can't wake up before she has at least two cups of the stuff
Dislikes:
Overheating - She hates sweating and overheating and it makes her feel icky
Snobs - They just irritate her to no end.
Her mother - Sadly, these two have never met eye to eye and something was severed when her mother tried to betroth her to some cruel prince.
What is your Kalons biggest weakness and strength?
-Nadia's biggest weakness is probably the need to thieve and escape from the smothering care of the castle. She would probably do anything to have a normal day where she could be herself and not have to pretend.
-Nadia's biggest strength would have to be her intelligence and quick wit. Though it's frowned upon by her parents and sister, she craves knowledge and cherishes her quick wit to anyone who scorns or sneers at her. She's successfully used both to get her out of situations that would have otherwise have led to trouble.

How many different places have they lived:
Nadia has had a very sheltered life, so she's only lived in the castle.
Why did they settle down where they are currently:
Nadia hasn't really needed to settle down anywhere, seeing as she has never moved from the home where she was born. And until quite recently she's never had the need to go anywhere else.
Is there an ideal place they want to live, or are they already there:
Nadia hasn't the travel experience to know any place different. She knows that she is tied to the castle and kingdom for the rest of her life because she loves her people and is willing to serve them and protect them until the day she dies, and if that means sacrificing her desire to travel, then so be it.
What are the biggest moments that have defined their life:
The biggest moments in Nadia's life have been somewhat tragic and wonderful. One such moment was when she experienced leaving the confines of the castle for the first time, though such moment was marred with tragedy when her foster mother was murdered in front of her. Another such moment was when she decided that she would be her people's hero, a Vox Popoli (Voice of the people) so to say, though no one would ever know it was her.
Does their future have a bright or darker outlook, and can they change it:
From where Nadia's standing at the moment, the future couldn't be brighter. But with all royalty, the future is often marred with death and betrayal, so we shall see if Nadia is touched by the curse of royal blood.
