Ally Kingston's Questionnaire

Well, these days, I live in a caravan!  I used to live in the biggest city in the East, but now... now I live in the back of a cart.  Typically.  Right now I'm sleeping under the stars trying to get back there.  I live there instead of anywhere else because my dad told me I had to travel out here, and... well, I trust him. 

There's not much else to say about it, really.  The caravan is nice, though.  I'm a guard, kinda sorta.  They treat me a little bit like a child, but..  I think they respect me, mainly. At least, they know I'm a good shot. 

I was, at least.  I'm an excellent shot now.

Well... this is a little bit of a sore spot.  I don't have a ton of money, really. 

I make most of my money as room and board with the caravan!  Although I think that I might be starting to get paid by these Contracts.  Which would be nice.  I mean, they promised more, but... I don't know what to think of it.  Haven't seen any rewards yet, but I did get to save some people, so.... you know.

What do I spend it on?  Food, maintaining my equipment, just sort of.. living.  It's not like I have a surfeit of money.

I want to make the world better, and keep people safe.

That's what my parents raised me to do, and... well, what my dad did after my mom died. So that's what I'm trying to do.  I'm striving to try to make the world more like the old world I heard stories about.  Where there's enough food for everyone, and the world is safe, and... one where people don't have to fear.

How far would I go?  As far as I need to go, really, to make a better world.  Would I kill for it?  Well... if they were bad people, I guess.

How close to death? 

...

As far as I need to go, really.  I think.  I don't want to die, but.. I can handle things better than most.

Probably when my mom died.

It's when life... changed, really.  Became... harder, maybe? I don't know. Harsher?

I don't know what happened to her. 

But I know that after that dad started training me harder.  A lot harder.  I did my best to keep up, to keep getting stronger, and... well, I'm a pretty good monster hunter, now.  And I can save people, like my mom.  Something killed her.  I know that.  And it changed me and my dad.

He was never the same after that.  He tried to be the same, but.. I could tell, when he didn't think I was looking, that something was different. 

Well... right now, there was dad.  Alexander Kingston. I think he still counts, even though I haven't seen him for a little bit.   He's my father, and he raised me.   He's a good person, he's a monster hunter.  He keeps people save, kills monsters, helps make the world safer.   He's what I want to be when I grow up.  He's... yeah.  The one in the world I'm closest to, now that mom's dead.

There's Sand(ra).  She's a pretty good medic!  Although she's mute.  It's pretty.. difficult to deal with, but.. well, she agreed to come along, so I've been trying to learn sign language with her.   It's hard, but... I dunno.  She's smart, and she's good at her job, so.. you know.

And there's Mason!  He's big!  And a mechanic.  I don't know how good of a mechanic he is yet, but if anyone asks he's really good.  You know.

My childhood was good, as childhoods go, really! 

My parents were Alexander and Sarah.  My mom was really nice.  She did everything that one could ask for.  She kept the home clean, she raised me, taught me, everything.  And she read me stories at night of heroes and such.

And then there was dad.  He was... he was larger than life.  He was a real hero, he was a monster hunter.  He went out into the dark and killed the things that hunted people.  And he was good at it, too.  I think mom dying broke him in some way.  He got cold towards me after that.

I attended school... sort of.  I dunno, the city kinda had a school, but.. it's not like it was a real school like in the stories mom told me.  Most of what I learned was from one of them, honestly.  And that's why I'm doing so well now.

No, not yet!  I'm looking forward to it, though!

I had kind of a puppy love crush on another boy in the caravan, and.. well, I tried to let him know a little!  But I guess he didn't like me back that way, because.. he just kinda turned me down.  Like, I asked him to go for a walk with me, and he told me he'd just been on a walk.  Okay.

Other than that.. well, I'll find someone, I'm sure!  I just hope it leads to something as perfect as my parents had.  And.. well, maybe he can help me save the world, too.
