Tuesday Tales: From my Characters?

So, here's a thought.

There are two things that many writers do that I have a hard time doing:

1) Character Q&A, just going down a list of questions about your characters and answering them so you know every inch of who they are. Oftentimes, the Q&As I come across seem to be more for contemporary fiction, not so much sci-fi or fantasy, so I have a hard time answering them.

2) Writing blog posts in the voice of their main characters. I struggle with pulling my MCs out of their world to have them engage in ours. Out of all the weird things I do, that feels weird to me.

Now, Tuesdays were supposed to be for flash fiction, but as I moved into revision mode for my WIP, I didn't need to get my creativity working because it already was again.

BUT, as I was also using it to help you all learn some things about my WIP's setting, what if I opened it up for questions for my characters to answer? I have an MC but also a big supporting cast behind her. I feel like this would help me get in touch with my characters even more while also showing you all who they are as well.

If anyone is interested, I would absolutely appreciate it if you would just post some questions down in the comments, and I will answer them one-by-one weekly with one or more of my characters from The Crystal Bearer.

Also, so you know who they are, here is a run-down of my main and supporting characters to give a basis for questions!

Ghuli: (Princess Ghulien of the Crystal Bearers)* The last of her race, sent away by her parents before the metal army destroyed the Northern Crystal Continent when she was 11 mos. old. Raised by her Commanding Watchman, a Human named Aleksandyr (killed in combat when she was 9) and her 1st Lt., Cyan, a hulktroll. Extroverted introvert, loves to interact with new people and places, but loves to find solace in the forest.

Cyan: Ghuli's 1st Lt. Watchman, a hulktroll, orphaned by the metal army when he was 4; appointed as a Jr. Grade Lt. Watchman shortly after to watch Ghuli. Introverted, shy and quiet, but strict when it comes to Ghuli's safety. Has a temper but never reacts violently. Has a tattoo of elk antlers down his neck and right arm to commemorate his first wound as a watchman. Has a half-brother about 30 years older than him.

Laris: (Prince Laris of the Sprites) Ghuli's 2nd Lt. Watchman, appointed by Aleksandyr to help Cyan once Cyan became Ghuli's primary watchman. On Sallendum (kind of a Rumspringa) until his father passes. His brother is currently castellan. Has a wife and young son on the Sprityn bay. Extroverted but soft-spoken. Loves telling stories. Very laid-back but focused.

Brodie: A Human, from the renowned family of scholars (historians and current event record keepers). Father died in battle, mother dead. Raised by her older sisters. Joined the Watch against her eldest sister's will, point of contention between them. 2nd Lt. Watchman. Retains information very well, highly-skilled fighter. Fends off marriage proposals from eager parents. Hot-tempered but very kind-hearted. Has trouble trusting people. Introvert.

Andyrsn: A Human, Jr. Grade Lt. Watchman, son of Aleksandyr. Famous back home because of his father. Best friend of Brodie's second oldest brother. Witty, sarcastic. A prankster but good-natured and caring. Lives with his brothers to help raise his two nieces. Loves climbing trees and going surfing. Cooks. Extroverted introvert.
