The Character Dating Profile

I was tagged by Fadwa at Word Wonders. Thanks so much for the tag Fadwa, I had a lot of fun with this one so I hope you enjoy reading my answers just as much. There was only ever going to be one choice as to which character I’d be featuring; Kell from the Shades of Magic series by V.E. Schwab. However I don’t actually see Kell taking the time to do this, so instead Rhy has filled in the profile for him. After all he entered Kell in the Essen Tasch, why not this as well?

Rules:

• Link back to the creator The Orangutan Librarian
• Answer as your/a character
• Have fun!

I imagine this being written in between A Darker Shade of Magic and A Gathering of Shadows.

Written by Prince Rhy Maresh on behalf of Kell Maresh—

—and edited by Kell.

I am capable of completing this without you looking over my shoulder.

…Why did I agree to this again?

---

Name:

Kell Maresh.

It’s just Kell.

---

Age:

Twenty-one.

---

Interested In:

Magic—

I’m an Antari, it’s my job to be “interested” in magic.

—travel—

Not that I’ve seen anything of the world outside of Arnes.

—and illegally smuggling magical artifacts between the worlds.

…Not anymore.

---

Looks:

Considering this profile is supposed to be for me wouldn’t it be better to actually include a photo of me, rather than just one of me standing right behind you?

…Good point.

Better?

I guess.

---

Religious Views:

The only religion my brother has is magic.

---

Greatest Ambition:

…What is your greatest ambition Kell?

My job is to protect you Rhy, to keep you safe.

Especially after what happened.

…

His greatest ambition is to one day travel outside of Red London, and see the rest of the world.

---

Favourite Hobbies:

He collects memorabilia from all the different Londons, other than that…any hobbies Kell?

If a hobby is something you find yourself doing a lot then keeping you out of trouble is one of them.

…Moving on.

---

Three Best Skills:

His protectiveness, his strong will, and his ability to always find himself in the centre of the trouble about to happen.

I feel that has more to do with the people I find myself in the company of than anything else.

You still have a talent for it.

---

Ideal Partner:

Someone who is cunning, daring and quick-witted. Someone who craves adventure and isn’t afraid to court death chasing after it—

This description is starting to seem familiar.

—A capable thief who is talented enough to pick pocket the Prince of Red London—

Very familiar…Rhy…

—and who is currently sailed around Arnes, discovering what the world has to offer.

---

Perfect Date:

Based on what they’ve done so far Lila would enjoy fighting the monarchy in White London and wrecking havoc in Red London.

You didn’t see her with the stone in Grey London, things could have turned out a lot worse.

My brother would be close behind, chasing after her.
