Looking forward to hearing more about Varrim.

1. What’s one thing you’re particularly good at?
Hard to pick just one thing… I’m just incredibly multi-talented, y’know. I guess the biggest thing’d be fightin’ dirty. I can take down guys twice my size without hardly breakin’ a sweat. Which is good, ‘cuz “guys twice my size” includes most o’ Azeroth.

2. What’s one thing you’re particularly bad at?
Anythin’ too domestic-oriented. I cook okay – not great, but what I make’s gen’rally edible – but cleanin’, sewin’, any o’ that sorta thing… no way. Just don’t got the patience for that sorta thing.

3. Do you prefer it when your talents put you in the spotlight, or when you can perform them quietly from the sidelines? Or neither?
Heh. Depends on which o’ my many talents you’re talkin’ about. Some o’ my best tricks kinda revolve around not bein’ seen, if ya catch my drift. Now, if ya mean my dance moves, that’s a whole ‘nother story. That’s what bartops’re for.

4. If you could be instantly great at any one thing, what would it be?
Bein’ a mom. I mean, I guess I don’t suck at it, but let’s just say, my maternal instincts ain’t the strongest in the world. It’d be nice to know I was doin’ the right things.

5. What’s a talent someone else has that you particularly admire?
Oh… I guess I’m pretty impressed by engineers. Real engineers, I mean, like Imble and Homrend, and even my little sister, Jen. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fair hand at makin’ guns and bombs and the like, and I patched up my dad’s old flyin’ machine pretty decent, but when it comes right down to it, I’m mostly just a mechanic. I put pieces t’gether and fix things. I don’t invent nothin’.

1. What’s one thing you’re particularly good at?
I have studied extensively in the school of cryomancy. As a result, I am extremely adept at the manipulation of frost-based arcane energies in a wide variety of offensive and defensive spells.

2. What’s one thing you’re particularly bad at?
Any task that requires physical strength or endurance, including but not limited to: lifting or moving heavy objects, engaging in melee combat, and traversing steep or otherwise challenging terrain.

3. Do you prefer it when your talents put you in the spotlight, or when you can perform them quietly from the sidelines? Or neither?
I prefer to maintain a low profile. However, I do enjoy some measure of recognition for my achievements.

4. If you could be instantly great at any one thing, what would it be?
Vocalization. Due to an unexplained phenomenon, I have been unable to communicate verbally without the assistance of a voice amplification modulator since the fall of Gnomeregan. Unfortunately, my VAM unit is currently non-functional, so I must resort to written communication. Being able to speak would make my life so much easier.

5. What’s a talent someone else has that you particularly admire?
A friend of mine, Calsh, is adept at cutting and setting gemstones. At the same time, he is a front-line warrior specializing in what is colloquially known as “tanking.” The duality of the fine control required to craft jewelry combined with the physical strength required to engage in melee combat on that level is impressive.

1. What’s one thing you’re particularly good at?
Oh! I guess I’m pretty good at fightin’ an’ all. I know how ta use all sorta weapons, a-specially big axes an’ polearms.

2. What’s one thing you’re particularly bad at?
Um… well, I en’t real good at writin’ or readin’. Pa couldn’t afford ta send me an’ my brothers ta school much, so I never learned my letters too good. An’ I en’t real good at sums, neither. Folks always said I en’t too bright, an’ I guess tha’s true.

3. Do you prefer it when your talents put you in the spotlight, or when you can perform them quietly from the sidelines? Or neither?
Oh… I don’t think anyone pays me much attention, most times, an’ tha’s fine. I en’t special or nuthin’. I jus’ fight stuff.

4. If you could be instantly great at any one thing, what would it be?
Um… oh! I guess I’d like ta be good at tellin’ stories, ’cause then I could share ‘em with my friends at the bonfire nights!

5. What’s a talent someone else has that you particularly admire?
Oh! My friend Nakisher – he comes ta the story-tellin’ nights, an’ he has a real neat trick! He can make people float! Like swimmin’, sorta, but in the air! An’ he did it ta me, too, an’ it was real neat! I wish I could do sumthin’ like tha’.

1. If you’re attached, how did it happen? (If not, are you interested in dating?)

Ooh. Now that’s a long story involvin’ a love… quadrangle, I guess it’d be, with me in the… center? I ain’t sure the geometry quite works out. Anyways. I was datin’ a guy who was never around, and sorta flirtin’ casual with another guy and a girl… nothin’ serious on my end, just passin’ time while my boyfriend was off doin’ whatever it was he did when he wasn’t around. But at some point… well, it stopped bein’ casual, for everyone involved, and I had a decision to make. Spent weeks weighin’ out my feelin’s, tryin’ to figure out who I oughtta be with. And then one night, I was talkin’ to Waldoh – that was the fella I hadn’t been datin’ – and somethin’ just… switched on, I guess. Dunno how to describe it, but damn… was that ever a night to remember.

2. Have you been “lucky in love” in the past?

Depends on how ya define “luck.” I’ve certainly always been blessed by… abundance in my love-life… though that can be more a curse, honest. Havin’ three people in love with ya at the same time is not nearly as fun as it sounds. As far as quality… well, remember that boyfriend I mentioned? The one that was never around? Yeah. ‘Til I met Waldoh, that was one o’ the better relationships I’d had. Draw your own conclusions.

3. What’s the number-one thing you need from a potential mate?

I could be all glib and say somethin’ like stamina in the sack, but honestly? Patience. Lots and lots o’ patience. I’m not easy to live with. Believe me, I have a hard enough time livin’ with myself sometimes.

4. Is there friction in your relationship? Big, small, none at all? (If you’re not in a relationship, how much friction would you like?)

Yeah. Y’know how I said I ain’t easy to live with? Waldoh’s patient, but even he has a breakin’ point. For some odd reason, though, no matter how much crap I put him through, he sticks around. Guess that means he’s the real deal. Guess it also means my luck’s a good sight better now than it used to be. Better’n I deserve, for sure.

5. Do your friends and family like the person you’re dating? (If you’re not dating anyone, how important is your friends’ and family’s approval)?

Oh, just about everyone likes Waldoh, I reckon. He’s a good guy. Hell, if he can put up with me, it’s pretty much a given he can get along just fine with my friends and what fam’ly I got left. And he’s a real good daddy to our two kids. I think most o’ my friends’d tell ya I did right marryin’ him… and those who’d tell ya otherwise, well, let’s just say it ain’t ‘cuz o’ him, and leave it at that.

I think that’s a totally valid way of approaching the Silver Hand, btw. Oof, Blizzard! Be more consistent!
