1. Why are you a Pathfinder? "Oh, well, um... I guess I joined because I was told I could help make a difference. Make a name for myself in the process, that'd be nice, too. And make friends to help me out when I need it... oh, and friends to help out, obviously!"

2. Do you have a name and surname that is not ripped straight out of existing Earth mythology or popular culture? While the name Alyssa is indeed from Earth, her full name isn't.

3. Which nation did you grow up in? How did this nation influence you? "Oh.... yeah. I grew up in Cheliax. And it was... not good. But it did show me how much bad there is in need to becoming good! ...if that made any sense. Anyways, I guess seeing all those people hurting and crying out for help made me realize that they're not going to get saved unless someone does the saving. And since I can swing a sword and Sarenrae likes me... why not be the one doing the saving, right?"

4. What do you look like? What are your wearing? How does this vary when you’re stalking through forests, sewers, deserts or in glittering cities? "A lot of people call me pretty, but I don't really see what they mean. I'm just a normal girl from a village in the middle of Cheliax. I'm not sure who the 'Azlanti' are... or were?... but people compare me to them a lot. I wear what armor I could afford, and I'm not really all that tall... but I worked on the fields so much back home that I'm no pushover with this sword of mine! I don't really stalk anywhere, I want people to know I'm there. It'd be a shame to get shot by a hunter or something. And... why would I go in the sewers, exactly? Do pathfinders do that often?"

5. What do you love? (Treasure and experience doesn’t count) "My mother. No, wait - the whole village I grew up in! My mother more than the rest, though, I guess. I love helping people and thinking that, if she saw me doing it, she'd be proud. I really want to go see her again, but I... don't want to risk it until I can get her somewhere safer."

6. What do you hate? (Unclear and irritating darkness level rules don’t count) "Pain. N-Not feeling it, though; I'm more than used to that. I can shoulder as much as Sarenrae is willing to give me. No, I hate pain being inflicted on others. And I may never stop that entirely, but I'll try. At the very least, I plan on alleviating as much pain as I possibly can where I can."

7. Which other Pathfinders (PCs) do you rely on for teamwork, survival and butt-kicking? Do you have a bro? a mentor? a father figure? maybe a rival? "Father figure...? Do people see their fathers as good? I have a lot to learn... oh, right, the question. Um, I'm just signing on, so I actually haven't met any other pathfinders yet. But hopefully I will soon!"

8. How does your race influence your views? Are you a stereotype of a certain race? How are you different from most humans/elves/gnomes/orcs/tengu? "Well I was taller than the halflings on the farm... but they were really nice to me anyways! I mostly see other humans, but Sarenrae teaches that it's what people do that we should pay attention to, not what they look like. I think that most everyone is different than what people expect of them, if they're expecting everyone of each race to be the exact same. As long as they're nice, I like them! Easy question!"

9. What are you afraid of? Do you have any phobias or worries? "I don't really get scared much... I think Sarenrae helps me with that. But I'm afraid of letting people down, I think. I just hope that I can get strong enough that I can stop worrying about that some day."

10. What is your most treasured possession? "Well, I don't have much... do memories count? I really like thinking back to when I was still at my home village, and not... yeah. Home, I think."
