Belated Groundhog Day Update

It is my pleasure to report that Punxsutawney Phil, groundhog extraordinare, did not see his shadow today, thereby predicting an early spring. And we can always use an early spring (provided we get at least a little more rain first).

30 Day Warden Challenge: Day Three

This is actually yesterday's question. Oops. Hopefully I'll have time for today's later. Maybe during the Super Bowl. Master list of questions here.

Day Three: A detailed description of your Warden's personality

Kasia is quick, bright, and good-hearted, although a rough childhood taught her that sometimes she needs to act to her own advantage without caring much about who might get hurt. When her family needs to eat, and there's food there for the taking, she don't lose sleep worrying about the people she stole it from. They probably have more than she does, anyway -- she only steals from merchants and Beraht's toadies, not her fellow dusters (unless she's really desperate). She's not well educated -- she doesn't learn to read until she comes to the surface, and she only knows enough math to get by in the market -- but she's intelligent and a fast learner. Kasia is outgoing and genuinely likes most people -- she's curious about them, wants to get to know them. Sometimes this manifests in asking too many questions, but she's pretty good at knowing when to back off. Despite everything she's been through, she tends to be optimistic, and she wants to think the best of most people. On the other hand, she also tends to make snap judgements about some people -- she fears and resents the nobility, and tends to distrust anyone in a position of authority.
