you're the showgirl who thinks she's going to take down an empire.

1. What does their bedroom look like?

in season two she and richard sleep in what looks like a garage or a warehouse, with all of the bedroom furniture in the center of the room. said furniture ( the bed, armchair, mirror, drawers ) is of high quality and style with a somewhat minimalist feel to it ( there's probably an official term for it but i'm not an interior designer ), high-thread count sheets, and statement rugs and curtains draped in various places for decoration with additional decorative lighting. in season one we don't see where she sleeps but the room where she prepares for the show is similarly decorated ( in that there's not much furniture aside from what's absolutely necessary ) with statement curtains and candlelight ( and a chandelier, because you gotta get a chandelier ); however that particular room/where she slept was presumably not decorated to reflect her personal taste. ( season one; season two. )

2. Do they have any daily rituals?

rituals in season one included bathing in blood that was washed off by carlos or culebra underlings; i assume whoever was helping her bathe also helped her dress and apply her makeup although she can do it herself, because that's why they call it a ritual. season two shows her burning herself in the sunlight and dancing in the mirror; it's unclear whether or not she does this every day but richard does mention that he's seen her doing it so it's obviously happened often enough to be concerning ( well, sort of ). i imagine a lot of work still goes into her grooming routine, this time with less blood and more clothing to put on.

3. Do they exercise, and if so, what do they do? How often?

no need to, considering what she is; she does dance in the mirror every morning but that has less to do with wanting to be physically active and more to do with her psychological issues.

4. What would they do if they needed to make dinner but the kitchen was busy?

you mean if she weren't just going to eat whoever's occupying it? she'd tell them to leave.

5. Cleanliness habits (personal, workspace, etc.)

she's used to being groomed every day, so i imagine she showers or bathes daily. as far as her cleaning habits go i think she's less concerned with making a mess and more concerned with not wanting to be caught, and her lifestyle doesn't allow for much clutter. she's tidy as a necessity, not necessarily because she cares about it.

6. Eating habits and sample daily menu

she's a vampire, so blood is required for her to survive, although the show is unclear on how much one needs per feeding or whether or not they have to feed every day. since escaping the twister she's pretty much only killed/fed on the people she views as a potential threat or who are truly despicable examples of the human race; this is partially richard's influence but i think she gets a greater satisfaction out of feeding on those who deserve it. unlike typical vampires, culebras are shown to be capable of eating and drinking normal food and drink, but i doubt this gives the same satisfaction that blood does.

7. Favorite way to waste time and feelings surrounding wasting time

8. Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging

9. Makeup?

arched full eyebrows, heavily lined and shadowed eyes, and red lips. there's very little variation on this; occasionally she'll go with a more natural lip, but the rest remains the same.

10. Neuroses? Do they recognize them as such?

i mentioned earlier that she regularly burns herself in the sunlight and dances in the mirror alone. richard points this out and i'm sure she recognizes it as something wrong, but the compulsion to do these things likely didn't end until her goal was completed.

11. Intellectual pursuits?

12. Favorite book genre?

13. Sexual Orientation? And, regardless of own orientation, thoughts on sexual orientation in general?

i don't think her own orientation or anyone else's is something she thinks too much about. i think she's been alive long enough to be aware that sexuality is fluid and she's disdainful enough of humans to think that having a problem with it one way or the other is ridiculous; that said, on the show she's only been involved with men, both by her own choice and not.

14. Physical abnormalities? (Both visible and not, including injuries/disabilities, long-term illnesses, food-intolerances, etc.)

survives on blood, burns in sunlight, above average strength, turns into a snakepire. she has a set of wings that are unique to her ( unsure of how those work, since they're not visible when she's not using them ) and has an intolerance to the cold that's unique to culebra vampires ( it weakens and incapacitates them and evidently slows their blood/heartbeat enough to make them unable to be detected by other culebras ). like other vampires, bullets won't kill them and they can heal quickly from wounds ( in a matter of seconds, though the time it takes to heal from more severe wounds seems to take longer if you're a younger vampire ), but a bullet to her brain has been shown to incapacitate her to the point of passing out ( the bullets will fall out or can be pulled out from the wound ). another trait that's unique to culebra vampires is imitation; after killing a human, one can temporarily take on the appearance of that human. once turned, any affliction that a culebra had as a human is healed or fixed ( for example, richie's eyesight is 20/20 after santánico turns him ). ( hi i told you i'd be back ) telepathy to a certain degree is also a capability for culebras ( she's seen sending visual and auditory messages to both gecko brothers ) but it's unclear if this is a capability for all of them - malvado is shown doing it too, but so far only he and santánico have been shown with the ability ( there could have been more but i can't remember at the moment ).

15. Biggest and smallest short term goal?

finding and killing malvado check.

16. Biggest and smallest long term goal?

figuring out what to do with her freedom. check back with me in season 3!

17. Preferred mode of dress and rituals surrounding dress

tight, a lot of black, and high heels. and statement jewelry, most notably a necklace she wears consistently throughout season two and parts of season one. she's got a fantastic sense of modern style, considering she was held captive for over a thousand years.

18. Favorite beverage?

blooooooooood.

19. What do they think about before falling asleep at night?

she sleeps in the daytime but: whatever plans she currently has, her past ( pre and post malvado's kidnapping ), her time in the twister, how she escaped.

20. Childhood illnesses? Any interesting stories behind them?

21. Turn-ons? Turn-offs?

22. Given a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen?

drawings of herself, of snakes, of the twister. probably nothing pleasant.

23. How organized are they? How does this organization/disorganization manifest in their everyday life?

24. Is there one subject of study that they excel at? Or do they even care about intellectual pursuits at all?

not really, she understands that knowledge is important but things like school wouldn't be important to her.

25. How do they see themselves 5 years from today?

26. Do they have any plans for the future? Any contingency plans if things don’t workout?

27. What is their biggest regret?

28. Who do they see as their best friend? Their worst enemy?

29. Reaction to sudden extrapersonal disaster (eg The house is on fire! What do they do?)

30. Reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster (eg close family member suddenly dies)

31. Most prized possession?

32. Thoughts on material possessions in general?

she enjoys luxury ( who doesn't ) and puts a lot of effort into her appearance ( those clothes and makeup can't be cheap ), but money isn't important to her aside from what's necessary to achieve her goals.

33. Concept of home and family?

34. Thoughts on privacy? (Are they a private person, or are they prone to ‘TMI’?)

35. What activities do they enjoy, but consider to be a waste of time?

36. What makes them feel guilty?

paloma :( ( this will be answered in detail later )

37. Are they more analytical or more emotional in their decision-making?

she's very calculating and smart, but the heart of her decisions are made with her emotions. ( does that wording make any sense it's 2:35 in the morning i'm exhausted )

38. Would they consider themselves a Type A or Type B personality?

39. What recharges them when they’re feeling drained?

40. Would you say that they have a superiority-complex? Inferiority-complex? Neither?

41. How misanthropic are they?

42. Hobbies?

43. How far did they get in formal education? What are their views on formal education vs self-education?

44. Religion?

45. Superstitions or views on the occult?

well, she's a vampire, so she probably has a few even discounting what she already knows.

46. Do they express their thoughts through words or deeds?

47. If they were to fall in love, who (or what) is their ideal?

48. How do they express love?

49. If this person were to get into a fist fight, what is their fighting style like?

vicious and brutal. she goes for the throat ( and by that i mean the vital areas, where it would hurt the most and her strikes would hit the hardest ) with her hands and teeth and rips them to shreds, literally. even when not revealing her culebra self to an opponent, she's brutal and efficient ( shown when she confronts sonja at the restaurant and goes straight for her throat to cut off her air ).

50. Is this person afraid of dying? Why or why not?
