Character: Shou Nakamura
BASICS
1. What is your full name? Do you have a nickname?
Shou Nakamura. No.
2. How old are you? When is your birthday?
I'm twenty years old, born November 14th.
3. Where were you born? Where do you live now? Are you patriotic?
A small village, in a land far from Termina. Currently, I reside in Clock Town and no, I wouldn't say I'm patriotic.
4. Who are/were your parents? (Names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
My parents were selfish fools and I doubt that has changed.
5. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
They are currently nonexistent. As far as I know.
6. What is your occupation?
I take care of the cuccos on Romani Ranch.
7. How tall are you? How much do you weigh?
5'11. I weigh enough.
8. What color is your hair? What color are your eyes?
Blond. Green. Pretty average, I guess.
9. What is your race?
Hylian.
10. To which social class do you belong?
Middle, I believe.
11. Do you consider yourself to be attractive? Do others?
Don't know. Don't care.
12. What is your style of dress?
Casual. What's with all the questions?
13. Do you have any scars? Tattoos? Birthmarks? Other unique physical features?
No tattoos or birthmarks. I have a few scars, though. Several came from a horrendous child who bit me a couple years ago, and another one is a large one just under my collar bone from . . . an accident.
14. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
I am allergic to certain types of plants.

16. What does your voice sound like?
It's low, also a little soft at times.
17. What kind of vocabulary do you use?
You tell me.
18. List three quirks or other defining characteristics.
I guess one of my biggest quirks is that I talk to animals more than people. I've found that animals (especially cuccos) are much more accepting of everyone they meet. If you are kind to them, they will return that kindness. People aren't so simple. Aside from that, I don't have many quirks.
19. How often do you bathe? Do you wear perfumes?
I try to bathe every day or every other day. I don't care for perfumes.
20. What kind of facial expression do you commonly wear (dour glare, wry smile, etc)?
I tend to smile more when working around the cuccos, for obvious reasons, but most commonly, you will find me with a blank expression. Or a glare. Depending on who I'm talking to.
21. Do you use body language? How?
*shrugs*
22. Do you have a commonly used saying?
No.
CHILDHOOD
23. What is your earliest memory?

My grandparents.
26. How would you describe your childhood in general?

27. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Shou Nakamura. (I know, shocker.)
28. When and with whom was your first kiss?
*blinks*
29. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
. . . Wow. This is getting kind of personal . . .
30. Do you have a notorious or celebrated ancestor? Does that affect you?
Not that I know of.

31. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
My grandfather passing away and then my parents leaving.

Do you have more time?
35. Do you have any secrets? If so, what are they?
They wouldn't be secrets if I told you.

I stabbed my father. It was in self defense, and he lived, but . . . I didn't feel bad about it then and I still don't.
37. When was the time you were the most frightened?
Other than when that child bit me? Hmm. That's a hard one.
38. Have you ever traveled outside of your country? If so, to where?
Yes. To Termina.
BELIEFS
39. What is your alignment?
Wish I could tell you.
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
Optimism is for the naive. Does that answer your question?
41. Do you believe in a god? If so, which one and why?
Can't say I do.
42. Do you believe in an afterlife?
Don't know. I've never been there. (Seeing is believing, isn't that what they say?)
43. What is your greatest fear?
Probably losing Gran, or my job. I cherish them both.
44. What makes you angry? Sad? Happy? Why?
People. A few things. Cuccos. Why not?
45. Do you think people are basically good or basically evil?
I think everyone has a choice and, while most people choose evil, it is up to them to decide their outcome.
46. What are your views on politics?
I really don't have any.
47. What are your views on gambling, lying, theft, and killing?
Gambling is only upsetting when you lose. Lying is unacceptable. Theft and killing are selfish and useless activities.
48. How far will you go to defend your beliefs?
Not very far.
49. How much do you value money?
I value food and not starving, so . . . I guess you could say I value money quite a bit.

Harm another person for personal gain.
51. Do you believe in self-sacrifice for the greater good?
Sometimes.
52. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
No, I believe love is something that only works out in story books. Those who love are fools, meaning we're all fools, because we know this and love, anyway.
53. Are you superstitious?
Nope.
54. How much do you respect the beliefs and opinions of others?
It's none of my business what other people believe.

Gran, because she has loved me even when no one else would.
58. Who is the person you respect the most? Despise the most? Why?
Gran, for the reason mentioned above. My parents, for other reasons.
59. Do you have a significant other? Who? Why?
*has a sudden coughing fit* What? N-No. *blushes* No . . . I just- Well, it's complicated. I mean, we're not- *sighs* No, I don't.
60. Do you have a lot of friends? Who is your best friend?
I don't have many friends; though, the ranch keeper is probably my best friend. . .
61. How do you relate to members of the same race? Class? Sex?
I treat them as human beings, capable of behaving respectfully toward me and others, regardless of their race, class, or sex.
62. How do you relate to members of a different race? Class? Sex?
Should I repeat myself?
63. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened.
Maybe. I'd rather not. -_-
64. What do you look for in a potential lover?
Hmm... She has to be kind and intelligent. She should love animals and working on the ranch and- Wait. Why are you asking this...?
65. How close are you to your family?
Gran and I can tell each other anything. She has looked after me my whole life, so yeah, I'd say we're pretty close.
66. Do you want a marriage, family, and/or children?
I guess we'll see when we get there. (And by "we" I mean me, because there's obviously no one else involved in this. Ahem.)

I find it pointless to argue, so I try my best to stay out of it.

I don't even know the meaning of that.
74. How quickly do you judge others?
They have approximately 2.5 seconds before I judge them.
75. Do you care what others think of you?
Not usually.
76. Do you have any enemies? How or why are they your enemy?
I have a couple. Perhaps it's because they are annoying and/or lack self control.
PERSONAL TASTE AND OPINIONS
77. What is your favorite pastime? Color? Food? Possession?
Taking care of the cuccos, of course. White is a nice color. I like eating vegetables. My favorite possession is my grandfather's sword. Why do you need to know this again?
78. What are your preferences in arts and/or entertainment?
I like hearing a good band every once in a while.
79. Do you smoke, drink, go whoring, or use drugs? Why or why not?
None of the above, mainly because I need to be in good health to support Gran and partly because none of the above are interesting.
80. How do you spend a typical Saturday night?
Sometimes I stay late at the ranch, other times I attempt to cook dinner for Gran. (I know, this life of constant adventure is a tough one to live, but someone has to do it.)
81. What is your most cherished fantasy?
I don't have any fantasies.
82. How long is your attention span?
Let's just say I sit in the same spot, all day long, surrounded by cuccos. My attention span isn't doing so hot right now.

Not often, but when I do, it's usually at the ranch helper's many antics.
84. Is there anything that shocks or offends you? If so, what?
Yes. People.

I either throw myself into work, or spend some time alone. Oh, wait. I do that, anyway.

I'm doing well in the athletic department, thanks to sword fighting and traveling from Clock Town to Romani Ranch. I have no artistic ability, however.
87. Do you like animals? Do you like children?
I like most animals, though I'm not a big fan of dogs. Children are the bane of my existence.
88. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
I prefer to have a plan.
89. Do you have a pet? If so, what is his/her name? Species? Fur color? Etc…
I guess you could say the cuccos are my pets. There are a lot of them. Their feathers are usually white.
SELF-IMAGE
90. What is your greatest strength as a person? Weakness?
I suppose my greatest strength is wanting to help people. My biggest weakness is that I don't like many of them.

My past.

I'm pretty sure we've already established this.

I want to repay Gran for all the kindness and love she has shown me. Outside of that, I would love to go on adventures and travel.
