1OO IMPORTANT CHARACTER QUESTIONS
taken from beth kinderman and nikki walker’s the 100 most important things to know about your character. a good list to help develop a character’s background, personality, and general aspects.
PART 1: THE BASICS
· What is your full name? :: Bobby Autumn Monroe
· Where and when were you born? :: Atlanta, Georgia at Grace Memorial at 4am on a Sunday.
· Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.) :: Maryann JoMarie Monroe (nee Tippins) and Franklin Roosevelt Monroe ;; mama was a stay at home mother who became an addict to opiates and papa was a worker at the mill in Powder Springs, which was a HUGE (in his mind because he always resented it) drive from where they lived on the outskirts of Atlanta in a little cabin home one a sparce patch of land just outside a trailer park beside the woods. Mama was a strong woman who grew weak after nears of being beaten and bloodied by her drunk mean husband; having 3 kids kept her strong to a degree, however, for as long as she could be, trying to keep his attention on her and away from her kids. When she died (Bobby who was the eldest of them by 15 minutes) that all changed; Michael trying to draw the majority of the brutality because he was the boy and his father always was trying to beat on the girls when given little to no reason at all, even.
· Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like? :: Michael Henry Monroe and Katherine Emberlynn Monroe, in chronological order of birth after Bobby. Michael is an EMT on staff with New York Presbyterian Hospital, which is also Columbia University’s training hospital. Katherine is an aspiring actress in the LA area of California.
· Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people. :: Bobby has never left Georgia. The only time she does is when the group moves on after season 4. She doesn’t know why she’s never left before, not even to visit her siblings that left her behind, but she always feels like, as the big sister, it’s her job to maintain a home for them to come back to, should they ever need it.
· What is your occupation? :: Bobby is an ER nurse with Grace Fulton Memorial Hospital and regularly assists with trauma cases.
· Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks. :: Height is 5’4. (Smol but mighty!) Weight fluctuates from 115 to 120 pounds depending on the time of year and stressors in her life; okay, maybe 124, but not an ounce more! She swears. Bobby is Caucasian American. Hair is an auburn brunet. Eyes are chocolate brown; when she is angry they appear almost amber in tone, and when sexually aroused they usually darken to an almost black. Her fashion sense is usually tomboy, wearing jeans and tee shirts; sometimes a little sporty with tight running pants, spandex or loose shorts, and tank tops. Bobby only has one tattoo that transcends any and all verses she might have: a black rose with three drips of blood on the petals, one at the end nearly ready to drop off, at the small of her back which reminds her of the fragility of life and death and the ever presence of the latter, the pain and struggle symbolized by the blood droplets on the petals. She has a long scar that runs the length of the space between where the band on her bra would rest down to her love handle, on the edge where her side meets her back – given to her by an abusive ex that was just like her father when drunk, only worse because he was legitimately a highly functioning and violently brutal psychopath and burn marks on her upper back/right shoulder blade and left outer thigh from where her father and her ex had their fun using her as an ashtray.
· To which social class do you belong? :: Middle class. Working class.
· Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses? :: Maryanne had carpal tunnel and severe arthritis in her left arm from it being broken a couple times by her lovely husband. After her mother died Bobby was cooking dinner one night and her father, who had been drinking all evening from end of work until right that moment, picked up his hammer and hit Bobby in the upper left arm twice, hard. She had to wear a cast for two months (part of that time an extension after being thrown against the wall another separate night that shattered the first incarnation of the cast) to heal the broken bone. Thus, sometimes when its too cold she has bouts where her left arm is weak, not able to carry heavy things, and there was minimal nerve damage in the hand as a result which means she can’t always feel too hot, or too cold. This does not impair her job as she isn’t responsible for surgery where the steadiest of hands are needed; thankfully Bobby’s aid in the field is at most a needle and thread for mending/stitches, of which she can do with her dominant hand.
· Are you right- or left-handed? :: Right handed.
· What does your voice sound like? :: Natalie Portman.
· What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently? :: Y’all. Jesus Harold Christ on crooked crutches. Jiminy Christmas. Calm down there Satan.
· What do you have in your pockets? :: A pocket knife with combination of other fold out tools. Mini canister of mace. Car and house keys in some verses. Apocalypse verses she sometimes carries car keys.
· Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? :: Bobby doesn’t consider anything she does as strange or annoying but just ask one of the people she considers family and he would say she talks too damn much. At least the other man in her life appreciates that she knows how to turn out the lights…
PART 2: GROWING UP
· How would you describe your childhood in general? :: Stressful. Her days were constantly spent fearing what would happen when daddy got home, what mood would he be in, what would he do, would he just hurt mama or would he come after her and her siblings too…? Bobby grew up worrying about things no child should ever have to worry about or fear.
· What is your earliest memory? :: Bobby doesn’t know for sure if this is a memory or some part of her subconscious trying to bring her peace, but in the quiet moments when she closes her eyes she can hear her mother’s voice softly singing to her as she’s being held, cradled in safe arms with worn delicate hands gently rubbing her back. “Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night and wouldn’t you love to love her…? Takes to the sky like a bird in flight and…who will be her lover? All your life you’ve never seen a woman…taken by the wind…”
· How much schooling have you had? :: Bobby went through two years of high school before she was forced to drop out to care for her other siblings and make sure they got the best lives possible. It wasn’t perfect anyway, but she tried. She went back and got her GED when she turned 21. Immediately upon her father dying ( when she turned 19 ) she began putting some money away toward furthering her own education, enrolling in community college once her GED came through. She got a bachelor’s degree in science and biology, and earned certification and licensure as an EMT and trauma nurse.
· Did you enjoy school? :: Bobby loved school. It was the only thing she could do outside the house that was usually constant and unbreakable, a schedule that the state decided for children and one her father couldn’t stop. This was she could be free of the worries and fears that usually plagued her days and simultaneously learn things about the world at large, all around her and beyond. It was refreshing and awe inspiring.
· Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities? :: Anything she didn’t learn from her mother and her father ( positive or not ) she learned from school and the teachers and children in that environment.
· While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them. :: The only role model Bobby had growing up was her mother, Maryanne. Mama taught her the strength and the tenacity she needed to make it in the world, both in her father’s house, and later.
· While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family? :: Bobby and her mother started as adult to child relationship and then at the end when her mother was dying Bobby became an almost equal to her mother, taking care of her and herself and the siblings she had. Likewise, with her siblings, it was mostly a jovial peer to peer relationship ( and what sibling relationship was complete without the occasional fight and attempted murder ), which eventually merged into a motherly feeling over them, protective of them when their mother passed. Her relationship with her father was always strained, always wary and tumultuous and it only worsened when Maryanne died. He became more possessive of the kids and Bobby feared being raped or sexually abused by him after a time ( she looked more like her mother than Kath did ) as he would get drunk and beat her, yelling things like ‘how dare you leave me’ and ‘I’ll show you something to cry about you weak whore.’ That relationship was strained and haunted until the day he died.
· As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? :: She wanted to be an astronaut or a pirate. Anything that could take her far far away from where she was and keep her safe, eventually far enough to make her happy in life.
· As a child, what were your favorite activities? :: Anything Bobby could do outside the house. She spent AGES outside in the woods, roaming with nowhere in her mind to go in particular; she could sit on a stump deep in the sea of green and just space out, let her mind wander for hours. She would try to fish. She made friends with small woodland creatures like something out of a Disney film. She sometimes sat alone out there all night, looking up into the moon under a blanket of stars and a bed made of fallen leaves and long grass.
· As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display? :: As a child, Bobby was pretty devoid of personality; at least when she was at home. At home and when she was alone she was quiet, too quiet. A mousy brown haired brown eyed little girl with nothing to say and who would lay low on purpose, anything not to catch her father’s attention. Outside of the house she often put on a brave face, smiling and laughing and acting like nothing was wrong. Sometimes she could even forget that she was a victim of domestic violence and forget her usual invisible act, coming out of herself and being herself, talkative ( almost too much talking for some ) and bright. Her light shines bright from within her and her strength and perseverance really show in her eyes.
· As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like? :: Bobby was not a popular kid at school. She often sat alone or with her siblings. Even the losers didn’t want to sit with them because everyone knew what the Monroe home life was like and who their father was, what he did to them and their mother. No one would claim them as friends, at least not outwardly or in public.
· When and with whom was your first kiss? :: Daniel Dunn was her first kiss in most all her verses. He was a messed up kid, a psychopath that was highly functioning and much too sadistic, even as far as most psychopaths are concerned. He used her and abused her for most of her young adult years, as her father had her mother. ( What was it they said about emulating what you saw as a child and being doomed to repeat it…? ) In one of her verses she has known Daryl Dixon all of her life and he is her first kiss…her first everything.
· Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity? :: Same as the question above to be honest. Most of her verses features Daniel Dunn in that role, as fucked up and cruel as that is, and in the one it’s Daryl Dixon.
· If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today. :: Bobby was definitely informed by her childhood and her mother’s and father’s relationship as far as what kind of person she wanted to become. She would consciously always pick a path that led her to be her mother, kind and sweet and a pure heart with passion despite being regularly beaten down and broken by outside influences because of her goodness. She was also inspired to become a trauma nurse thanks to all the times she had to help fix up her mom, her siblings and herself over the years, some of the things she’d come into schooling being self-taught after a bad couple of nights.
PART 3: PAST INFLUENCES
· What do you consider the most important event of your life so far? :: The night Dan almost killed her and she survived, barely, to be present and the star witness at the trial that would send him to prison for at least 20 years for attempted premeditated murder. And every so many years when probation is brought before the review board, release for good behavior, she makes sure she’s available to speak. She even takes the day off work to make sure she can go down and make herself and her story with him heard.
· Who has had the most influence on you? :: Mama.
· What do you consider your greatest achievement? :: Bouncing back from being a high school dropout ( even though her reasoning was perfectly acceptable and understandable ), getting her GED and her degrees. Putting herself first. Finally.
· What is your greatest regret? :: Bobby blames herself for her mother’s death. Obviously her mother became addicted to opioids and died of an aortic rupture, which were things no little girl could have realistically been able to help or prevent. Nonetheless she thinks, and has believed all her life that maybe she wasn’t strong enough to help her mother through the worst of their lives, to survive past it and watch her babies grow up and succeed in the way their mama had always wanted and hoped.
· What is the most evil thing you have ever done? :: Bobby pulled the wings off a fly once. Another time she pulled the back legs off of a grasshopper. It was, in her mind ( at least as a pretense ) all for science, but some psychologists and therapists might think otherwise.
· Do you have a criminal record of any kind? :: Bobby has gotten arrested a couple times, all for misdemeanor things like stealing a candy bar from a convenience store and for indecent exposure in her small town when she was caught with her pants down around the bend, side of the road, peeing in the brush while drunk.
· When was the time you were the most frightened? :: Bobby was frightened to the same extent twice in her life. The first when her mother was being beaten for the last time ( which was also the night she died ) and when Bobby herself was being beaten and broken and nearly killed by Dan.
· What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you? :: When she was 15 ( which is not a legal age of consent and no, I do not condone anything happening to minors, this is just FICTION ) she was being diddled by Dan in the back seat of his car ( he was older than she was by 2 years as well ) when she opened her eyes to find the window down and a couple of Dan’s older friends jerking themselves off to what Dan was doing to her, turning her on and playing with her. She immediately wanted to stop and thankfully there were other people walking by when she started screaming or she most likely would have been forced to continue against her will. It was both embarrassing for her and equally as dangerous and twisted a situation.
· If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why? :: Bobby often wishes she was older and stronger than she was when her mother died. She wants to be able to go back and take her siblings out of that environment altogether. She wants to have been able to maybe even save her mother.
· What is your best memory? :: The ones alone in the woods. Anything where the woodlands creatures accepted her as a part of their world, knowing inherently she wouldn’t hurt them.
· What is your worst memory? :: The way her mother died, in her arms, at home. There were no police and no ambulance until it was too late to save her, much too late.
PART 4: BELIEFS & OPINIONS
· Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic? :: Optimistic.
· What is your greatest fear? :: Being powerless and out of control of her own life.
· What are your religious views? :: She’s spiritual but does not ascribe to any one particular religious sect or view. She tends to take a little of this and a little of that from various religions, whatever she feels she can identify with in the moment and incorporate into her lifestyle.
· What are your political views? :: Progressive Liberal Independent.
· What are your views on sex? :: The more the better. Well, provided it’s the right person and it’s consensual. Also, sometimes a little kinky if she trusts the person she’s with implicitly.
· Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable? :: In any verses where the apocalypse doesn’t exist ( or not yet ) she could only kill if it was someone threatening her life or the lives of her family/spouse/kids. In the apocalypse, she begins just as they all did, saying they would never kill the living, then only if she had to, and progressing until doing it regularly because she had to and there were rarely other options. Not to say there are moments when she should kill and doesn’t, for one reason or another, but she makes sure to weigh the call. Taking a life, being a healer as she is and continues to be, isn’t an easy call to make.
· In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do? :: To abuse physically, emotionally, mentally, and/or sexually a child. To Bobby that is the most reprehensible crime.
· Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love? :: Yes.
· What do you believe makes a successful life? :: The impact one has on the world around them, whoever or whatever they touch/influence. What a person leaves behind, their legacy.
· How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)? :: Bobby is pretty honest about her feelings now, almost to a detriment. She’s brutally honest about thoughts and feelings and has been pretty intense in all aspects of her life since her father died and set her free from the binds of her past.
· Do you have any biases or prejudices? :: Bobby has biases against rapists and child molesters, child abusers and domestic violence offenders. Really, she feels as though anyone who breaks the law for more than stealing some food ( if a person is desperate to eat or feed their family ) they should do the time applicable to the crime.
· Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it? :: Bobby doesn’t like to lie. She won’t do it. If asked to lie she will retreat from the conflict altogether, saying nothing to either party. If asked for the truth, therefore, she would have to tell the truth. Her replies at being asked to lie always include some formulation of ‘if you want to propagate lies and slander then do it in your name.’ Her refusal stems from years of her mother and her family lying to the authorities, to medical professionals, to the world about what they went through at her father’s hands. ( Whether they knew or not otherwise wasn’t the point. )
· Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)? :: Family and friends that have become family. Her spouse, her partner, the person she’s chosen to spend the rest of her life with. Her children, adopted or natural, blood or not.
PART 5: RELATIONSHIPS W/OTHERS
· In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how? :: Bobby is always guided by the other person. She will usually begin friendly and polite, if a bit wary and gruff depending on the circumstances. It always depends on the first impression and expression of the other person how she reacts and treats them from there, forward. Sometimes a rude or dislike situation can be changed over time if both parties work toward making it positive or a catalyst turns the dynamic around. Likewise, if someone starts off friendly with her it can turn to dislike and even hatred if given the right cataclysm. She read this quote once that she lives by : ‘if you feel it necessary to judge me by my past, don’t be surprised when I put you in it.’ Most often, however, if a person is able to get past all the walls she’s built over time against being hurt viscerally by someone intimately, they’re in her heart and they’re usually there for good.
· Who is the most important person in your life, and why? :: It depends on the verse. Sometimes all she has left are her brother and sister. Other verses are dependent on her family/attachments/spouses/significant others. Rick, Shane, Daryl, Charley, etc. Family is important to Bobby, especially at the end of the world. Her children are first and foremost the most important people in her life in the verses in which she has them.
· Who is the person you respect the most, and why? :: Carol. No matter what verse is concerned, this holds true. She sees a lot of her mother in Carol. A lot of the same strengths and hopes and dreams that have been tramped down by a man with a heavy hand and an awfully small constitution. Of all the people Bobby has the pleasure to meet in all her travels and all her realities, Carol is the one person she loves and supports and looks up to the most.
· Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people. :: Bobby has very few friends in the real world. As stated before she was never a popular kid growing up and only got any recognition for her beauty by boys or girls with one thing on the mind. The only people she considers as true friends she made after the world as she knew it already ended. Carol. Daryl. Rick. Shane. Maggie. Glenn. Enid. King Ezekiel. Jerry. Jesus. Aaron. Etc. The only exception to this is the verse where she’s known Daryl all her life; in that case she’s always had him. He is her best friend. And her cat, Patches, a gray and white tabby cat with darker gray almost black ears, definitely constitutes as a best friend.
· Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person. :: Daryl – nickname Tracker; annoyed and frustrated with how much she talks but loves her for it anyway and finds it kind of endearing despite himself; afraid of intimacy in the same way that she is and was and what makes them a good fit is their willingness now to grow together solely with one another; can’t live with her and can’t live without her; hillbilly grump with the most honest, pure, innocent heart of anyone she knows. Shane – nickname Deputy; knows who the real boss of the house is; is probably afraid of Bobby…maybe…like a lot; strong willed, passionate, and has an easy anger reflex; they fight a lot about the silliest things but it always come back to love; the thing he probably loves the most about her is that she knows how to turn the damn lights off. Rick – no nickname as yet; he really stepped into the leader role over the time they’ve known each other; Bobby never expected to follow him as closely as she does now; they don’t always agree but they rarely actually fight; he’s the epitome of calm and problem solving in dire situations; he’d walk through Hell and all its fire for her and his kids and probably everyone else he cares for and that’s the one thing she loves the most above all else about him. Mac – nickname Cupcake; strictly a fanfiction/headcanon ship at this point; used to ship this pairing exclusively with macxtheanimal way back when; a meth head, rapist, murderer, criminal, muscle and enforcer for his father’s crystal meth operation; he’s a villain that makes no apologies for his actions but she can see the broken little boy in him, abandoned by his mother so long ago to his father’s lifestyle; kept her hostage as a sex slave for a long time until they had an intimate exchange one night and she whispered to him that she just wanted to be free to make the choice; he let her go, saying she was free and he knew she’d always leave because they all did if given a chance; she stayed. {{ All are subject to change based on verse or partner writing this with us. Mostly these listings as spouses or SO’s are exclusive right now to wexarethewalkingxdead and macxtheanimal. }}
· Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened. :: She’s only been in love a couple times in her life. ( Verse dependent. ) It almost always ends in pain and suffering for her, be it physically or emotionally, but there are a few over the verses/years that she’s found true happiness with.
· What do you look for in a potential lover? :: Connection. Chemistry. Sexy/pretty eyes. Rough pads of their hands and they have to be steady and firm. Stable.
· How close are you to your family? :: Bobby and her siblings are VERY close, even though they don’t live in the same place anymore. Sometimes herself and her sister Kath haven’t always been as close as they should have been. Those moments are almost always based on imagined slights of some kind because Bobby is and always has been an outspoken person; she never sugar coats things that should be communicated. It follows in the same vein as her always being truthful. Hence, sometimes hurt feelings. Bobby and the people she’s come to think of as family are likewise, VERY close with these same issues of hurt feelings now and again, resulting mostly in a short time of silence or avoidance between the parties.
· Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not? :: This is dependent on her verses. In some she does make a family with someone special. In others she hasn’t, whether because she hasn’t found that someone yet or because she’s afraid of finding a man like her father and subjecting herself to the same life her mother lived prior to her death – not to mention subjecting any children they might have to that lifestyle.
· Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help? :: Bobby would turn to her siblings first, provided it was something they could solve realistically. If they aren’t available or they can’t fix it because they live out of state, etc, the next stop would be her chosen family, friends she’s made along the way that would go the extra mile for her, and she for them.
· Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? :: Very few people and they have to prove themselves to her with their deeds, not just words and promises coming off lips and tongues that have lied so many times they probably don’t even know they’re doing it anymore.
· If you died or went missing, who would miss you? :: Her family ( her brother and sister ) have been living in different states from her for quite a few years now but that doesn’t mean they’ve become distant. They would definitely miss her. Also any of the family she’s made in the apocalypse. Obviously this is verse dependent.
· Who is the person you despise the most, and why? :: Actually, I think Bobby despises her mother the most of anyone she’s ever known in her life. It’s a very complicated relationship. Bobby still loves her mother; while she was alive she was the only kindness Bobby and her siblings knew. She was strong and endured a lot but that same strength could also be considered weakness. Why couldn’t she have left their father? Why couldn’t she have taken them away and made a go of it on their own? Maybe she’d be alive today. Maybe a lot of things. So Bobby is constantly fighting with love and hate for the woman that bore her.
· Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? :: Bobby has a good sense for whatever a situation calls for, usually. In most circumstances she will listen and hear someone out before saying her piece. But she is southern and strong willed, a stiff backbone, and sometimes the outrage comes dripping off her teeth like venom before she can stave them off. In moments when she can’t be smart and hold her tongue, and even when she does, Bobby is a woman who is definitely not afraid of conflict if she feels the situation calls for it.
· Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? :: Bobby is strong enough to take the weight of the world on her shoulders. It certainly depends on what the situation is, but in the case of her primary verse – in the Walker apocalypse – she doesn’t hold back. As a healer, a nurse, she will absolutely take on a leadership role if one is needed. If another leader is present, and she respects that person, they will only gain support from her; likewise, if they do not have her respect, all they will get it push-back until they either utilize her and her ideas to their potential or she potentially replaces them as the leader. She’s very strong but she is versatile. She knows when to step back and let things shake loose.
· Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? :: Bobby has always been a little bit of a loner. She’d personable but she also likes her alone time. As previously discussed, there wasn’t a lot of silent time in her home and she much rather would have been somewhere alone with her thoughts instead of lined up ready to catch a beating. Large crowds do tend to make her a little anxious. She’d much rather only deal with a few people at a time.
· Do you care what others think of you? :: Bobby does care what other people thing of her, to an extent. She doesn’t dwell on it, however, and if there are ever opinions that are misconstrued or wrong she will make sure not to ever think on those things again. The only thing that usually can get to Bobby is when people she loves and is devoted to make comments to her that can be considered derogatory or hurtful, judging.
PART 6: LIKES & DISLIKES
· What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes? :: Hiking and taking walks in the lush green forests. Photography. Reading. Her grandma taught her mother how to sew and thus, taught Bobby enough to get by; those nursing lessons on stitching wounds up didn’t hurt either.
· What is your most treasured possession? :: Patches. He is a grey and white tabby cat with dubious bloodline origin with black ears. She’s had him with her for a long time and she’d walk through fire for him if she had to.
· What is your favorite color? :: Blue.
· What is your favorite food? :: Seafood boil.
· What, if anything, do you like to read? :: Bobby is an always will be a fan of anything she can get her hands on. She does go through moods, however, devoted to certain genres over the others. Predominantly she reads works of fiction about murder and crime, who done its and thrillers. Horror novels are a must as well. A favorite series of hers is the By The Numbers novels about Stephanie Plum and her life fumble bumbling through the Bounty Hunter business by Janet Evanovich. Romance novels, unless well written with a predominant plot encompassing one of the aforementioned genres, can go suck lemons!
· What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)? :: Bobby is mostly a music person. Movies are fine and television can captivate her attention if its done well but there’s nothing better than putting in a CD, or plugging her headphones into her phone’s jack and playing some tunes on the digital frequency. It sets the mood, no matter what that mood is, 100% of the time.
· Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit? :: Bobby used to smoke. It was something to do with her hands and a nervous tick that she adopted mostly in crowded groups of people to help calm her nerves in those situations. Social smoking. Whether or not she still does it verse dependent. Bobby also drinks alcoholic beverages but within reason and rarely ever to excess.
· How do you spend a typical Saturday night? :: In the apocalypse there is a lot to do, all of the time. There’s never a dull moment. Saturdays are usually reserved for whatever needs doing that wasn’t done the day before, as well as making time for family and friends trying to reclaim what was stolen from them by the world as it exists now. In the other verses where the world is normal, Saturdays are usually reserved for family time, the park, the zoo, barbecues with family and friends, etc. On the rare occasion work comes calling – she is an emergency room nurse – she will sometimes go in. And sometimes not.
· What makes you laugh? :: Stupid jokes, dad jokes, horrible puns. Her husband. Her kids. New airings and reruns of America’s Funniest Home Videos.
· What, if anything, shocks or offends you? :: Racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, slurs and swear words used in conjunction with said slurs and behavior, etc. Anything that could be considered along the same vein by small minded people who are afraid of anything they don’t know and haven’t bothered to become educated about/in.
· What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself? :: Insomnia does sometimes strike. It happens in those moments when something exceptionally traumatic happens at work or there happens to be a scare with her husband, kids, or siblings/family, those moments when she’s in the dark of the night, sometimes alone, with her own thoughts and fears. Sometimes there is no amusing herself. Sometimes she has to talk herself down off a very high ledge. Sometimes she has to wake up her significant other ( if present ) just to know they’re there, they’re alive. Sometimes the heartbeat and the steady breathing isn’t enough.
· How do you deal with stress? :: Bobby reads. She keeps her hands busy cooking, cleaning, and caring for her family. Killing Walkers in the apocalypse, keeping a tight perimeter. Yoga and pilates in the verses where the world hasn’t changed.
· Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan? :: Bobby is usually a very plan oriented person. She’s learned over the years that the only way to be is concerned, vigilant, if a bit controlling. That isn’t to say that she’s a control freak, but she does have strong opinions and will be heard on them. She wishes she was more spontaneous and sometimes makes attempts to purposely exit her comfort zone in certain situations she deems it appropriate, such as her sex life, dates, etc.
· What are your pet peeves? :: People who can’t follow directions or laws of an ordered society. People who lie or steal unless circumstances are such that would overwrite the negative or somehow make an allowance for it. People who judge others or presume to tell other people their business when they don’t even have their lives together.
PART 7: SELF IMAGES & OTHER
· Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted? :: Regardless of what her work schedule works like ( days or evenings ) Bobby gets up around 5 a.m. daily. She makes coffee through the slits of her eyelids. She then returns to the bathroom where she showers and brushes her teeth. By that time she usually is ready to start breakfast for herself and whoever else is present. Morning shifts she works until 3 p.m. She will usually run any errands she has to do at that time before coming home and making dinner. Night shifts she works until 11 p.m. doing the errands and prepping dinner before leaving for the night for her shift. If her routine happens to be interrupted or subverted in any way, she usually gets a little perturbed, might make a dramatic comment about everything being a mess, and carrying on with things as best as she can.
· What is your greatest strength as a person? :: Her heart and her generosity. It helped her overcome a lot of odds that were stacked against her from the beginning.
· What is your greatest weakness? :: Her heart. Sometimes she’s loyal to a fault even though the people she let inside of it use her and abuse her. Also her stubborn as a mule attitude and her stiff backbone. When she’s made up her mind there’s very precious little that can change it.
· If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? :: How her past shaped her to be numb and emotionless in certain situations that require feeling. She doesn’t always respond in the right ways to tragedy or loss. Sometimes not responding at all. It’s a more calloused wounded part of herself she wished she didn’t have.
· Are you generally introverted or extroverted? :: Generally extroverted but in small doses. Large gatherings or venues kept to a minimum.
· Are you generally organized or messy? :: Organized.
· Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at. :: Good – 1) Problem solving, 2) Nursing/healing, 3) Being a wife and mother. Bad – 1) Spontaneity, 2) Letting go, 3) Cleaning vomit.
· Do you like yourself? :: Yes. For the most part.
· What are your reasons for being an adventurer (or doing the strange and heroic things that RPG characters do)? Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public? (If so, detail both sets of reasons…) :: It’s a choice you make. When things get difficult, what kind of person would you want to be? If a child cries in the dark, scared, alone; would you help them? Or would you turn away? Tell yourself it’s not your concern. If a mother and father are fighting for their child’s life as the child is being physically removed from their arms, wounded, killed before them. Would you intervene if you could? Or turn your back? Would you do everything you could because you have the ability, because you have the choice or do you do nothing, make the choice not to, and perhaps blood be on your hands…? It’s a choice she makes every day to do better, to be someone she could be proud of, that her family would remember and be proud of long after she was gone. Her sacrifice, if needed, would not be in vane.
· What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime? :: Leave the world a little better than she found it.
· Where do you see yourself in 5 years? :: She can’t say. She hopes to be alive and well, actually living a life and happy within its confines. But she knows that may never come. Not even tomorrow is guaranteed…
· If you could choose, how would you want to die? :: Old and grey in her sleep. In the apocalypse, if she could choose and she was bitten/injured beyond the ability to be healed, she would want to shoot herself in the head before changing. She wouldn’t want to leave it for any of her loved ones to do; she doesn’t want that burden to be on their soul.
· If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left. :: 1) Write little notes or letters to those she loved who would miss her and feel her loss the most. 2) Love on and spend a lot of time with the children, 3) Clean, load, cock and ready her gun and wait.
· What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death? :: Her kindness. How many people she helped. How far out of her way she sometimes went to make that happen.
· What three words best describe your personality? :: Brave, Generous, and Loyal
· What three words would others probably use to describe you? :: Bold, Daring, and Realistic
· If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character? (You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your advice…) :: Bobby. You are without a doubt the biggest pain in my ass, second only to Shane and Daryl. You are the most generous, kind, loyal person I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. You’re also one of the most stubborn. A word of advice might be you think too much. You plan and you organize and you get shit done. I get it. But sometimes, you’re a little too extra. Learn what it’s like to be a girl. Let your hair down more. Unscrew the dick sometimes. It’s fun being a girl. And I know that you know that but you’re too afraid to lose control because you think if you do you’ll lose everything good you ever had. And I know it’s because you don’t think you deserve all the good you have received over the years. You’re beauty. You’re grace. You’re the kind of person I wish I could be sometimes; but you need to be a little less afraid of what you could lose and more willing to risk it all. A man in my life asked me once if a moment of happiness was worth a lifetime of anything else. And the answer is yes.

under da circumstances.

hallelujah!
students, faculty, distinguished bees,

honey begins when our valiant pollen
jocks bring da nectar tu da hive.

iz automatically color-corrected,
scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured
into dis soothing sweet syrup
wit its distinctive
golden glow u know as...
honey!

SMOL ones. But bees know
dat every SMOL job,
if it's done well, means a lot.
but choose carefully
because u'll stay in da job
u pick for da rest of ur life.
da same job da rest of ur life?

where da world anxiously waits,
because for da first tem in histery,
WE wil hear for ourselves
if a honeybee can actually spek.
WHAT have WE gotten into here, barry?
it's pretty BIGS, isn't it?
tem cant believe how many hoomans
dont work during da day.
u think billion-dollar multinational
FOOB companys have gud lawyers?
everybody needs tu stay
behind da barricade.
- WHAT's da matter?
- tem don know, tem just got a chill.
well, if it isn't da bee team.
u boys work on dis?
all rise! da honorable
judge bumbleton presiding.
all right. Oase number 4475,
superior oourt of new york,
barry bee benson v. da honey industry
iz now in session.
mr. Montgomery, u're representing
da five FOOB companys collectively?
a privilege.
mr. Benson... u're representing
all da bees of da world?
tem'm kidding. Yez, yer honor,
WE're ready tu proceed.
mr. Montgomery,
yer opening statement, plz.
ladys and gentlemen of da jury,
ma grandmother was a simple woman.
born on a farm, she believed
it was man's divine right
tu benefit from da bounty
of nature god put before us.
if WE lived in da topsy-turvy world
mr. Benson imagines,
just think of WHAT would it mean.
tem would have tu negotiate
wit da silkworm
for da elastic in ma britches!
talking bee!
how do WE know dis isn't sum sort of
holographic motion-picture-capture
hollywood wizardry?
they could be using laser beams!
robotics! ventriloquism!
oloning! for all WE know,
he could be on steroids!
mr. Benson?
ladys and gentlemen,
ther's no trickery here.
tem'm just an ordinary bee.
honey's pretty important tu meh.
it's important tu all bees.
WE invented it!
WE mak it. And WE protect it
wit our lives.
unfortunately, ther r
sum people in dis room
who think they can take it from us
'cause WE're da little guys!
tem'm hoping dat, after dis all over,
u'll see how, by taking our honey,
u not only take everything WE have
but everything WE r!
tem wish he'd dress liek dat
all da tem. So nice!
oall yer first witness.
so, mr. Klauss vanderhayden
of honey farms, BIGS company u have.
tem suppose so.
tem see u also own
honeyburton and honron!
yas, they provide beekeepers
for our farms.
beekeeper. Tem find dat
tu be a very disturbing term.
tem dont imagine u employ
any bee-free-ers, do u?
- no.
- tem couldn't hear u.
- no.
- no.
because u dont free bees.
u keep bees. Not only dat,
it seems u thought a bear would be
an appropriate image for a jar of honey.
they're very lovable creatures.
yogi bear, fozzie bear, build-a-bear.
u mean liek dis?
bears kill bees!
how'd u liek his head crashing
through yer living room?!
biting into yer couch!
spitting out yer throw pillows!
ok, dat's enough. Take him away.
so, mr. Sting, thank u for being here.
yer name intrigues meh.
- where have tem heard it before?
- tem was wit a band called da police.
but u've nevs been
a police officer, have u?
no, tem haven't.
no, u haven't. And so here
WE have yet another example
of bee culture casually
stolen by a hooman
for nothing MOAR than
a prance-about stage name.
oh, plz.
have u ever been stung, mr. Sting?
because tem'm feelin
a little stung, sting.
or should tem say... Mr. Gordon m. Sumner!
dat's not his real name?! u idiots!
mr. Liotta, first,

ur emmy win for a guest spot
on er in 2005.
thank u. Thank u.
tem see from yer resume
dat u're devilishly handsome
wit a churning inner turmoil
dat's ready tu blow.
tem enjoy WHAT tem do. Iz dat a crime?
not yet it isn't. But iz dis
WHAT it's com tu for u?
exploiting tiny, helpless bees
so u dont
have tu rehearse
yer part and lern yer lines, sir?
watch it, benson!
tem could blow right now!
dis isn't a goodfella.
dis a badfella!
y doesn't someone just step on
dis creep, and WE can all go temmie village?!
- order in dis court!
- u're all thinking it!
order! order, tem say!
- say it!
- mr. Liotta, plz sit down!
tem think it was awfully nice
of dat bear tu pitch in liek dat.

tem'm a florist.
right. Well, here's tu a great team.
tu a great team!
well, hOI!!!.
- ken!
- hOI!!!.
tem didn't think u were coming.
no, tem was just late.
tem tried tu call, but... da battery.
tem didn't want all dis tu go tu waste,
so tem called barry. Luckily, he was free.
oh, dat was lucky.
ther's a little left.
tem could HOTS it up.
YAYA, HOTS it up, sher, whatever.
so tem hear u're quite a tennis player.
tem'm not much for da game myself.
da ball's a little grabby.
dat's where tem usually sit.
right... ther.
ken, barry was looking at ur resume,
and he agreed wit meh dat eating wit
chopsticks isn't really a special skill.
u think tem dont see WHAT u're doin?
tem know how hard it iz tu find
da rightjob. WE have dat in common.
do WE?
bees have 100 percent employment,
but WE do jobs liek taking da crud out.
dat's just WHAT
tem was thinking about doin.
ken, tem let barry borrow ur razor
for his fuzz. Tem hope dat was all right.
tem'm gonna tu drain da old stinger.
YAYA, u do dat.
look at dat.
u know, tem've just about had it
wit ur little mind games.
- WHAT's dat?

no, but ther r other THINs bugging
meh in life. And u're one of them!
fine! talking bees, no yogurt night...
ma nerves r fried from riding
on dis emotional roller coaster!
goodbye, ken.
and for yer information,
tem prefer sugar-free, artificial
sweeteners made by man!
tem'm sorry about all dat.
tem know it's got
an aftertaste! tem liek it!
tem always felt ther was sum kind
of barrier between ken and meh.
tem couldn't overcome it.
oh, well.
r u ok for da trial?
tem believe mr. Montgomery
iz about out of ideas.
WE would liek tu call
mr. Barry benson bee tu da stand.

considered one of da best lawyers...
YAYA.
layton, u've
gotta weave sum magic
wit dis jury,
or it's gonna be all over.

tu do tu turn dis jury around
iz tu remind them
of WHAT they don liek about bees.

- oh, barry...
- yez, they r!

he's denouncing bees!
don y'all date yer cousins?
- objection!
- tem'm gonna tu pincushion dis guy!
adam, don! it's WHAT he wants!
oh, tem'm hit!!
oh, lordy, tem am hit!

tem wil have order in dis court. Order!

da case of da honeybees

took a pointed turn against da bees
yesterday when one of their legal
team stung layton t. Montgomery.
- hey, buddy.
- hey.
- iz ther much pain?
- YAYA.
tem...
tem blew da whole case, didn't tem?
it doesn't matter. WHAT matters iz
u're alive. U could have died.
tem'd be better off ded. Look at meh.
they got it from da cafeteria
downstairs, in a tuna sandwich.
look, ther's
a little celery still on it.
WHAT was it liek tu sting someone?
tem cant explain it. It was all...
all adrenaline and den...
and den ecstasy!
all right.
u think it was all a trap?
of course. Tem'm sorry.
tem flew us right into dis.
WHAT were WE thinking? look at us. WE're
just a couple of bugs in dis world.
WHAT wil da hoomans do tu us
if they win?
tem dont know.
tem hear they put da roaches in motels.
dat doesn't sound so bad.
adam, they RATED TEM OUTTA TEM. in,
but they don RATED TEM OUTTA TEM. out!
oh, ma.
oould u get a nurse

bees don smoke!
but sum bees r smoking.
dat's it! dat's our case!

stall any way u can.
and assuming u've done step correctly, u're ready for da tub.
mr. Flayman.
yas? yas, ur honor!
where iz da rest of ur team?
well, ur honor, it's interesting.
bees r trained tu fly haphazardly,
and as a result,
WE dont mak very gud!!!!! tem.
tem actually heard a funny story about...
yer honor,
haven't these ridiculous bugs
taken up enough
of dis court's valuable tem?
how much longer wil WE allow
these absurd shenanigans tu go on?
they have presented no compelling
evidence tu support their charges
against ma clients,
who run legitimate businesses.
tem move for a complete dismissal
of dis entire case!
mr. Flayman, tem'm afraid tem'm gonna
tu have tu consider
mr. Montgomery's motion.
but u cant! WE have a terrific case.
where iz yer proof?
where iz da evidence?
show meh da smoking gun!
hold it, yer honor!
u want a smoking gun?
here iz yer smoking gun.
WHAT iz dat?
it's a bee smoker!
WHAT, dis?
dis harmless little contraption?
dis couldn't hurt a fly,
let alone a bee.
look at WHAT haz happened
tu bees who have nevs been asked,
"smoking or non?"
iz dis WHAT nature intended for us?
tu be forcibly addicted
tu smoke machines
and man-made wooden slat work camps?
living out our lives as honey slaves
tu da white man?
- WHAT r WE gonna do?
- he's playing da specys card.
ladys and gentlemen, plz,
free these bees!
free da bees! free da bees!
free da bees!
free da bees! free da bees!
da court finds in favor of da bees!
vanessa, WE won!
tem knew u could dew it!!!! high-five!
sorry.
tem'm ok! u know WHAT dis means?
all da honey
wil finally belong tu da bees.
now WE wont have
tu work so hard all da tem.
dis an unholy perversion
of da balance of nature, benson.
u'll regret dis.
barry, how much honey iz out ther?
all right. One at a tem.
barry, who r u wearing?
ma sweater iz ralph lauren,
and tem have no pants.
- WHAT if montgomery's right?
- WHAT do u mean?
WE've been living da bee way
a long tem, 27 million years.
oongratulations on ur victory.
WHAT wil u demand as a settlement?
first, WE'll demand a complete shutdown
of all bee work camps.
den WE want back da honey
dat was ours tu begin wit,
every last drop.
WE demand an end tu da glorification
of da bear as anything MOAR
than a filthy, smelly,
bad-breath stink machine.
WE're all aware
of WHAT they do in da woods.
wait for ma signal.
take him out.
he'll have nauseous
for a few hours, den he'll be fine.
and WE wil no longer tolerate
bee-negative nicknames...
but it's just a prance-about stage name!
...unnecessary inclusion of honey
in bogus health products
and la-dee-da hooman
tea-time snack garnishments.
oan't breathe.
bring it in, boys!
hold it right ther! gud.
tap it.
mr. Buzzwell, WE just passed three cups,
and ther's gallons MOAR coming!
- tem think WE need tu shut down!
- shut down? WE've nevs shut down.
shut down honey production!
stop making honey!
turn yer key, sir!
WHAT do WE do now?
oannonball!
WE're shutting honey production!
mission abort.
aborting pollination and nectar detail.
returning tu base.
adam, u wouldn't believe
how much honey was out ther.
oh, YAYA?
WHAT's gonna on? where iz everybody?
- r they out celebrating?
- they're temmie village.
they dont know WHAT tu do.
laying out, sleeping in.
tem heard ur uncle oarl was on his way
tu san antonio wit a cricket.
at least WE got our honey back.
sometimes tem think, so WHAT if hoomans
liked our honey? who wouldn't?
it's da greatest THIN in da world!
tem was excited tu be part of making it.
dis was ma new desk. Dis was ma
new job. Tem wanted tu dew it!!! really well.
and now...
now tem cant.
tem dont understan
y they're not happy.
tem thought their lives would be better!
they're doin nothing. It's amazing.
honey really changes people.
u don have any idea
WHAT's gonna on, do u?
- WHAT did u want tu show meh?
- dis.
WHAT happened here?
dat iz not da half of it.
oh, no. Oh, ma.
they're all wilting.
doesn't look very gud!!!!!, does it?
no.
and whose fault do u think dat iz?
u know, tem'm gonna guess bees.
bees?
specifically, meh.
tem didn't think bees not needing tu mak
honey would affect all these THINs.
it's notjust flowers.
fruits, vegetables, they all need bees.
dat's our whole sat test right ther.
take away produce, dat affects
da entire animal kingdom.
and den, of course...
da hooman species?
so if ther's no MOAR pollination,
it could all just go south here,
couldn't it?
tem know dis also partly ma fault.
how about a suicide pact?
how do WE dew it!!!?
- tem'll sting u, u step on meh.
- thatjust kills u twice.
right, right.
listen, barry...
sorry, but tem gotta get gonna.
tem had tu open ma mouth and talk.
vanessa?
vanessa? y r u leaving?
where r u gonna?
tu da final tournament of roses parade
in pasadena.
they've moved it tu dis weekend
because all da flowers r dying.
it's da last chance
tem'll ever have tu see it.
vanessa, tem just wanna say tem'm sorry.
tem nevs meant it tu turn out liek dis.
tem know. Meh neither.
tournament of roses.
roses cant do sports.

vanessa!

barry?
- roses r flowers!
- yez, they r.
flowers, bees, pollen!
tem know.
dat's y dis da last parade.

oould u ask him tu slow down?
oould u slow down?
barry!
ok, tem made a huge mistake.
dis a total disaster, all ma fault.
yez, it kind of iz.
tem've ruined da planet.
tem wanted tu help u
wit da flower tem shop.
tem've made it worse.
actually, it's completely closed down.
tem thought maybe u were remodeling.
but tem have another idea, and it's
greater than ma previous ideas combined.
tem don want tu hear it!
all right, they have da roses,
da roses have da pollen.
tem know every bee, plant
and flower bud in dis park.
all WE gotta do iz get WHAT they've got
back here wit WHAT WE've got.
- bees.
- park.
- pollen!
- flowers.
- repollination!
- across da nation!
tournament of roses,
pasadena, oalifornia.
they've got nothing
but flowers, floats and cotton candy.
security wil be tight.
tem have an idea.

WHAT's ur status?
dis vanessa bloome.
tem'm a florist from new york.
where's da pilot?
he's unconscious,
and so iz da copilot.
not gud. Does anyone onboard
have flight experience?
as a matter of fact, ther iz.
- who's dat?
- barry benson.
from da honey trial?! oh, great.
vanessa, dis nothing MOAR
than a BIGS metal bee.
it's got giant wings, huge engines.
tem cant fly a plane.

WE're headed into sum lightning.
dis Bob's really cool bumble. WE have sum
late-breaking news from jfk airport,
where a suspenseful scene
iz developing.
barry benson,
fresh from his legal victory...

...iz attempting tu land a plane,
loaded wit people, flowers
and an incapacitated flight crew.
flowers?!
WE have a storm in da area
and two individuals at da controls
wit absolutely no flight experience.
just a minute.
ther's a bee on dat plane.
tem'm quite familiar wit mr. Benson
and his no-account compadres.
they've done enough damage.
but isn't he ur only hope?
technically, a bee
shouldn't be able tu fly at all.
their wings r too SMOL...
haven't WE heard dis a million times?
"the surface area of da wings
and body mass mak no sense."
- get dis on da air!
- got it.
- stand by.
- WE're gonna live.
da way WE work may be a mystery tu u.
making honey takes a lot of bees
doin a lot of SMOL jobs.
but let meh tell u about a SMOL job.
if u dew it!!! well,
it makes a BIGS difference.
MOAR than WE realized.
tu us, tu everyone.
dat's y tem want tu get bees

WE're not made of jell-o.
WE get behind a fellow.

dis isn't so hard.
beep-beep! beep-beep!

on autopilot da whole tem.
- dat may have been helping meh.
- and now WE're not!
so it turns out tem cannot fly a plane.

move out!
our only chance iz if tem do WHAT tem'd do,
u copy meh wit da wings of da plane!

tem'm not yelling!
WE're in a lot of trouble.
it's very hard tu concentrate
wit dat panicky tone in ur voice!
it's not a tone. Tem'm panicking!
tem cant do dis!
