beautiful people #17 // asa

okay first of all if you don't know what this link up thingy is 

GO HERE

it's a fabulous idea. i hadn't worked on this novel idea in forever,

but this linkup totally inspired me again. this character profile thing 

is for one of my supporting characters. i'm already way too emotionally attached tbh.

here's what I have on my figment. it's just a few minutes long, so go read it pls 

and i'll definitely love you forever (but i probably will love you forever anyway)

it's called flame and shadow and here's my baby named asa. tell me what you think about him 

and tell me all about any of your lovely supporting or main characters!!!!

//

asa : healing / physician / cure
he's dark haired and light olive skinned and quiet and funny and has a heart of gold or something less rich and more pure

1. How often do they smile? Would they smile at a stranger? Often, sometimes for the benefit of others. Yes.
2. What is the cruelest thing they’ve ever been told? And what was their reaction? First of all, please stop hurting me in this way, Cait. Too many feelings. Okay. *deep breath* His dad once told him when he was younger that he wished he'd never slept with Asa's mom, so he would never have been born (except said with more colorful language). That he's more pain than he's worth. That he's the reason for his mom's hurting.
3. What is the kindest thing they’ve ever been told? And what was their reaction? His mom told him when he was younger that he was the light of her life- a small, bright, warm candle, keeping her company through the night, and that she wouldn't take the world over him. Hugged her almost as tight as his throat felt. From that point on, she went downhill.
4. What is one strong memory that has stuck with your character from childhood? Why is it so powerful and lasting? This is too hard- maybe I'll share later. Don't wanna reveal too much, heh.
5. What book (a real actual published book!) do you think your character would benefit from reading? Um, THE BIBLE. But okay, other than that.... possibly "And the Mountains Echoed" by Kahled Housseini. *continues overthinking late into the night*
6. Have they ever been seriously injured? How severely? How did they react? Repeatedly, intermittently beaten and bruised by his father, who is a long time drunk and looks as hardened on the outside as he is inside. Bore it in as much silence as he could despite cries of pain and silent angry tears at the injustice of it and his helplessness to prevent it. Eventually learned many natural remedies, from the mom of his friend, a nurse.
7. Do they like and get along with their neighbors? Yes, but his neighbors are kind of distant and absentee on a consistent basis.
8. On a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being easy and 10 being difficult) how easy are they to get along with? 3. Compassionate, kind, selfless, but has firmly grounded standards of integrity that are core to his character and hard for him to see violated.
9. If they could travel anywhere in the world, where would they go? Possibly travel to England for it's history or any Welsh countries, for some reason.
10. Who was the last person they held hands with? His mom in anticipation of his dad coming home. More recently, with a girl. *smirks*
