Writing Character Profiles - Additional Questions

1. If your character has a job, is he or she good at it? Does he or she like it? She has a job at the local diner called Cosmo's.  She's seemingly good at her job but not overly enthusiastic about it. She let's a lot roll off her back because she is not human.  
2. What are your character's bad habits? Keeps letting her heart take her to places she shouldn't go. She feels that she's at fault for what her heart feels and she is responsible for guy x's (that's what I'll call him until I have a name) death (constant, and repetitive through out their other lives)
3. If you asked about his or her greatest dream, what would your character tell you? To be with guy x without inhibition.  To live as a human and possess the emotions they have. To be able to not let things roll of her back like most nineteen year old girls do.  To worry about their worries and town dances.
4. What's a secret dream that he or she wouldn't tell you about? She want's to give in and not fight for this anymore.
5. What kind of person does your character wish he or she could be? What is stopping him or her? The fact that she's an angel of sorts and cannot become human unless she accepts an offer from the supposed Devil which she will in the end.  God will not make her human Himself.  The Devil can because he indulges in what makes humans human, their sin.
6. What is your character afraid of? What keeps him or her up at night? She's afraid of losing guy x again.  She make it a point to avoid meeting him in Valentine.  She doesn't want to have to see him die again.
7. What does your character think is his or her worst quality? Her weakness for guy x. If she did not possess this tiny piece of humanity she would be a perfect angel.  Every angel possesses at the very least one human quality and she just happens to possess the emotion of love.
8. What do other people think your character's worst quality is? For the evil her worst quality is her small bit of humanity.  For other people it's how disconnected she is.  Her concerns are not a nineteen year old girls concerns.
9. What is a talent your character thinks he or she has but is very wrong about? Shutting people out.
10. What did his or her childhood home look like? Very modest.  It is a very country home small and old fashioned.  The outside has a lot of land.
11. Who was his or her first love? guy x
12. What's the most terrible thing that ever happened to him/her? Seeing the man she loves die over and over.
13. What was his/her dream growing up? Did he/she achieve this dream? If so, in what ways was it not what the character expected? If your character never achieved the dream, why not? Her dream is to be human.  She eventually becomes human but not in the best circumstances.  The Devil makes her human so he can finally claim her.
14. In what situation would your character become violent? There are instances where she has to fight for guy x and he'll be compromised. She will become violent for him. She'll become violent when she is kidnapped by the Devil's evil henchmen while trying to save herself.
15. In what situation would your character act heroic? She's always a heroine.  She sacrifices her angelic qualities to prove a false love for the Devil (still searching for a name for him that makes more sense). She does this to save guy x and the world (of course the Devil feels the need to make things complicated for the rural town of Valentine and the rest of the world)
