Iis+Oble

**Biography**

Iis Oble never was meant to be extraordinary. There were no trying times in her past that built her up with a stone heart and a vengeful mind. She wasn’t the epitome of good and noble, destined to save the world. She was not particularly strong or brave or intelligent. She was just some little girl in some little home in some little town in a big, mysterious world that she feared she would never know. Only one characteristic set her apart from the rest of the people she knew. Whether touched by luck or by misfortune, she did not know. She was different. It was a different kind of different, the kind of different that with the only the right touch of defiance could it actually be a good thing. The girl who was never meant to be extraordinary could only dream of unlocking the good in her gift.

She came into the world a little ball of light. Her skin’s glow could usually only mean one thing. It should mean that she is a lumihuman, simply a human with glowing skin. Her body was adapted to the darkness of living inside a cave. She was different, though. Being a lumi would be too easy. She would be just like everyone else with the same simplicity that she would come to crave. One tiny gene in her body ruined that all. That one little gene made her just a bit more human than everyone else. By fate, she was now a parslumihuman.

Now, Iis Oble was meant to be less than extraordinary. Being a parslumi put her first in line to receive a job as a trader. While her friends dreamed of becoming movie stars and doctors and lawyers, she couldn’t dream at all. Her condition made her the perfect candidate for a job that required leaving the cave. Normal lumis would be too vulnerable outside and their skin would burn within seconds under the touch of sunlight. So, when she was only 7 years old, she was told that she would never do anything more with her life than trade with other regions outside the cave. Nonetheless, she tried to live a normal childhood. She tucked away dreams of running off to distant cities and being everything she was destined not to be. She spent hours a day drawing her fantasies and crafting stories of her imaginary life outside of the cave. She pretended she was normal with all of her might. In her naive, innocent mind, she believed that no one would love her if she was too different. So, she built up walls and guarded her future as a secret. Only one awkward boy cared enough to knock them down. His names was Jones Detta.

Jones lived a terrified life because of his father. His father was secretive and caught up in a business that would jeopardize his safety. When he was actually home, the whole house seemed watched. A look out the window would prove that eyes were always seeing, always disappearing after a millisecond of contact, always darting down to their partners while mouths discussed their next move. Sometimes, the hands that knocked on their doors belonged to police officers who always seemed to be looking for an arrest. Sometimes those hands belonged to thieves with guns and knives and hate and threats. Sometimes reporters pried for deep secrets. Sometimes all that could be seen outside was complete darkness. Dark creatures lurked around the house as well. They would disappear and reappear. They would shriek in the night. Jones longed for peace and safety but kept this a private wish behind walls of his own.

He found this peace and safety in Iis. She never strayed too far into anything unknown. She didn’t involve herself in any problems or hide away life threatening secrets. She was safe and that’s what he liked. Safety isn’t where a story begins, however, and safety doesn’t change lives in the ways that Iis and Jones’s lives were changed. The safety went away the day that Jones let something happen that he swore to himself he would never allow.

It was warm air that blew through the maze-like cave tunnels that afternoon. It was summer in the outside world. Jones’s family’s police visits were growing more and more frequent.

“It means he’s close,” Jones had explained. “He’s been getting bits and pieces of information, different stories, stuff like that. He’s been getting stuff for years now but it’s hard ‘cause no one wants to get involved in this stuff.”

“Have you asked him what it is?”

“I told you. He wouldn’t say even if I tried.”

That was the usual conversation when they talked about his father. Jones only knew the obvious, nothing more, nothing less. He paid attention. He was growing more and more curious. There wasn’t time to ask more questions or even change the subject though. They were cut off by a phone call from Jones’s mother. Iis sat in silence, straining to listen until the intent was revealed. All she got was, “I’ve really got to go. I’ll explain tomorrow,” before he rushed out the door.

They were at Iis’s house which was only just down a few streets from Jones’s place. It was well within walking distance although Iis never knew how to get from one to the other. She was never allowed at or even near Jones’s house. Jones didn’t want her included in any of his family’s problems.

“I swear on my life I will never ever get you involved in that stuff. It’s too dangerous,” he had said.

Despite her protests, he wouldn’t let her meet his parents or go to his house. He protected her. She was his safety. This day broke his promise though. He wasn’t careful when he left her house. He left her worried and answerless. He left and didn’t look back to check if she was following him to get answers. His mind was on his mother telling him to come home and say goodbye to his father. So, Iis followed him. They made their way down streets, around corners, never stopping and never turning back. Jones was running and Iis struggled to keep up without him hearing her follow. Eventually, they arrived at a two-story, weathered, white house anchored between a russet roof and a marble lawn.

Iis stalled as she approached the house, wondering whether or not this was actually a good idea. What if his parents were the strict type who would scream at her to leave immediately? What if it wasn’t that important after all and she had barged in just to end up looking stupid? What if Jones’s family was being threatened and upon entering the house, some terrifying thief would shoot her dead? What if Jones was in trouble and she was the only one who could save them? What if she was their only chance?

Before she could make her brave decision, things turned to chaos. All within a matter of minutes, their lives would be changed forever. It all started with a shout which was followed by the crack of glass. The light in an upstairs window swung back and forth. Another shout. A gun shot. The door swung open. The bravery drained from Iis like the blood from her face. Someone was dead. Someone was dead. A man with an immediately known essence of power stepped out the door. He turned. His eyes locked on Iis. They were a cold, dark death sentence. He stepped towards her. Another man came out. They spoke. It was over. She would be dead soon too. Her heartbeat, her death march, quickened. Tears or blood poured over her cheeks. Her head was spinning. It was all her imagination, right? She couldn’t be dying. Not now. Not here. Then it stopped. The thoughts, the death march, the blood, it all stopped. The senses were gone. Everything went black.

__

“Am I dead?”

Iis could actually feel the words flowing from her mouth. Her eyes had yet to reveal who she was asking or where she even was. She didn’t dare open them. So, she spoke again.

“Am I dead?” Her words hung in the air without an answer and she began to wonder if anyone was around at all.

“No, you’re not dead,” a voice finally answered. Her mind attacked the voice with questions. Was it a boy? A girl? Definitely a boy. Not an older man. A younger man, perhaps? How young? Was it Jones? Not at all. Was it his father? What did his father’s voice sound like? What if it was something else? A monster? An alien? Something from the outside world? Did she dare open her eyes? What if what she saw wasn’t safe? Her only stupid response would be to repeat herself.

“Am I dead?”

The voice laughed. “You’re perfectly alive. Now, tell me. You’re not Devandor’s daughter, are you?”

Devandor. Iis knew that name. It was Jones’s father’s name. Wasn’t it? She blurted out a, “yes,” without thinking.

“Ah, so you are. I don’t know if he’s mentioned me to you before.” Iis slowly opened her eyes under the beat of another heart death march. As her eyes focused, she looked up into the warm amber eyes of face she couldn’t name.

“I don’t think so.” She took in her surroundings and came to the conclusion that she was lying behind Jones’s house. The only ones around were her and this man who she noted to be a regular human being instead of a lumi. As she took in the scene, her thoughts began to flood back clearer and clearer but her memories remained blank. What happened before everything went black? A fight, wasn’t it? And she got hurt, didn’t she? Then she realized the absence of something very important. “Where’s Jones?”

“Jones?”

“Yeah, my... brother.”

“I haven’t seen anyone else around. Then again, I never went inside the house so that might be where he is.”

“What’s even going on?”

At this, the man stood up and looked away like he was waiting for something to happen. He responded to her question with, “I should really be leaving.”

“I don’t get any answers, do I? I’m never allowed to get involved.”

“It’s just too risky. Maybe some day you’ll find out and know for yourself why no one can get involved,” he tried to explain but this was the answer that Iis had heard millions of times from Jones and she knew that the day she found out would never come. The man still seemed in a hurry to leave and asked a final favor that, to spite him, Iis planned never to do.

“What’s the favor?”

“If anything, anything at all, happens regarding your father, let me know.” He scribbled his address on a spare piece of paper under such an odd name: The Fox. With a quick goodbye, he was off.

Soon after The Fox disappeared, Iis went to find Jones. It took her a moment to stand and gain her balance before tottering up to the front door. Without hesitation this time, she knocked. She heard voices. There was a brief silence. Then, the door opened slowly. A worried-looking woman with dull brown hair that instantly reminded her of Jones’s answered the door.

“Who are you? What do you want?” The woman’s voice was strained, a rubber band about to snap. Her eyes were wide and dressed in dark, stressful circles.

“Uhm, sorry. I’m Iis. I’m Jones’s friend.”

“You should leave.”

“I was just worried. I followed him here.”

“You shouldn’t follow him again. Leave us alone.”

“Sorry. I’m really sorry.”

“Mom, it’s fine,” a calmer voice added in the background.

“Jones!” He was alive. He was alright. That’s all the mattered. She smiled as he headed for the door. Maintaining a straight face himself, Jones assured his mother that Iis was safe and the fight left her eyes. Then, they were alone.

“What’s going on?” Iis asked.

“How much did you see?” His usual strong face fell with his sad eyes. The fear fell out with every breath. It stung in the air, circulated in the lungs, dripped off of every letter of every word he spoke. Anyone anywhere would see Jones as laidback and careless, one who wouldn’t be caught dead afraid but now, only a shell of that character remained. Fear engulfed it but the shell could barely hold itself together. It was weak and it got weaker. It was more of an outline now, thinning and thinning and thinning until it wasn’t even there. The shell became a ghost, disappearing, folding, collapsing, deteriorating, and it was gone. The shell broke and came the tears upon an unknown face.

The Questions
Date this form was created: 2-8-12

 Full name of Character:Iis Oble

 Race:She is a "lumihuman" with the adaptation of being able to glow (firefly-like) to combat the darkness of living in a cave environment. However, she is more human than most inhabitants. She has the rare recessive gene that changes the ratio of glowing human to regular human so that she has less light and her light will go out faster. The plus is that she has stronger skin than the others so the combination of the sun and her light, if she were to leave the cave, would not burn her as it would everyone else. This makes her "parslumihuman" but some people call them "dims". However, the term "dim" is more derogatory.

 Occupation/class:She is in training to be a trader who leaves the cave to get food and supplies. Right now she is only in 14th grade.

 Social class: middle class ===Physical Appearance: ===

Age:17 (which would seem more like in the early 20's in our years but they have shorter lifespans)

 How old they appear:22, according to how much light she has

 Eye Color: pale blue, not too bright, darker ring around the iris

 Glasses or contacts?: none

 Hair color length and style: past the shoulders, naturally mostly straight, straight-across bangs, very pale white-blonde color.

 Weight and height:110lb, 5'3"

 Type of body (build): fragile-look, underweight (compared to other regions but it is normal in Mondiluce), not particularly strong or athletic but she is light on her feet

 Shape of face: oval

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Distinguishing marks (dimples, moles, scars, birthmarks, etc.): She has a normal swirl fingerprint on her ring finger which is different than the star-shaped fingerprints on all of her other fingers. As part of being adapted from human, everyone except for those special people with the one swirl fingerprint have all star fingerprints.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Predominant feature: Among people of her region, her hair stands out the most. Among people from other regions, her pale skin tone and the fact that she glows (obviously) stand out.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Is s/he healthy? yes, everyone tends to be healthy and underweight because their bodies have also adapted to the lack of food due to the difficulties of trading and growing food when only a few people can leave the cave and nothing really grows in the cave

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> If not, why not? Or why are they healthy? she'll eat a variety of foods, usually naturally sweet ones like fruits and yogurts, but in small proportions.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Do they look healthy? Why/why not? yes, she still looks underweight but it is considered healthy in Mondiluce

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Favorites:
<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Character’s favorite color: Clothing-wise, she's really into white, gold, and anything shiny because it brings out her glow and makes her look younger and brighter. (She doesn't like the fact that being more human than everyone else makes her darker and older-looking.)

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Least favorite, why? She doesn't like darker colors as much but her all time least favorite color is red.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Music? She really doesn't have a favorite genre of music. She's open to a lot of different songs and song genres.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Food: apples, pears, yogurt, chocolate

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Literature: She's the type of girl who would rather figure out her own life before diving into someone else's. She keeps a journal but is more apt to write in it if she's unhappy.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Expressions: She doesn't have any (yet).

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Mode of transport: I'm going to assume that people in Mondiluce would travel by walking or by bikes. I don't think they would have cars considering the car fumes would probably end up killing them and I don't think other animals would do well in a cave.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Hobbies: sketching fashion designs, listening to her friends' problems and writing about her own

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Personality:
<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Are they a daredevil or cautious? She's really shy and cautious but is eventually forced to overcome this.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Do they act the same alone as when with someone? She's really open with everyone. The only secret life she has is what she writes in her journal. She will tell people her problems but sometimes she'll leave out little details or word it differently depending on who she's talking to and how much she wants them to know.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Habits: She shakes when she's nervous.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Greatest Strength: She'll do anything for a friend. She's definitely someone you can trust.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Greatest Weakness: She gives too many second chances.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Soft spot: She has a soft spot for anything romantic or sweet because she's a hopeless romantic.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Is their soft spot obvious, why/why not: Yes. She'll do anything for a happy ending.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Background:
<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Hometown:Columba, Mondiluce

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Type of childhood: She had an average childhood. Both parents are around, she has had a best friend since she was really little, she has done well in school.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Most important child hood event that still effects him/her: Her run in with The Fox.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Why? It sets the basis for Jones' motives of figuring out what his dad was hiding.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Education: She's currently in 14th grade. She is studying to be a clothing designer which she has always wanted to do. They don't have a class in her school for being a trader so she doesn't have to go to school but she has hopes of one day being able to get out of Mondiluce and do what she wants instead of being a trader. She doesn't need to start training to be a trader until she is 18.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Family:
<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Mother:Cylorda Oble

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Relationship with her: They get along nicely but her parents are the only people who Iis doesn't allow into all the private parts of her life.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Father: Nionel Oble

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Relationship with him: Same as mom but she does get along with her mother a little better.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Siblings, How many, relationship with each: She has one sister named Adarine Oble of whom she is extremely jealous. She feels like Adarine is perfect and she isn't special like Iis so she can be whatever she wants. She thinks she is going to be prettier and her parents love her more and she'll have a better future. They do get along of course but Iis always secretly wishes she was her. Adarine is only 6 years old.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Other extended family: Her mother is an only child but her grandmother, Belladora, and grandfather, Malier, were both parslumihumans and died when Iis was really young. Belladora gave Iis a ring before she died that way to be given to her when she was older. On her father's side, she has an uncle who works deep in the caves as a miner. She doesn't know him as well but he visits for major holidays. Her grandparents on her father's side are still alive and they, too, visit on major holidays and used to visit more when Iis was younger.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Attitude:
<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Most at ease when: she's with Jones.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Most ill at ease when: she's stressed out. She doesn't deal well with stress.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Priorities: Her major priority is to have a more interesting life, no matter what aspect it might be that she has to change in order to get that.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> How they feel about themselves: She doesn't have much faith in herself.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Past failure they would be embarrassed to admit: She probably wouldn't admit that she lied to The Fox. She wouldn't necessarily be embarrassed by it but she's worried that if she admitted it, she might get in trouble. It seemed like a really important situation. Not to mention, she wouldn't want to be known as a liar anyways.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> If granted one wish what would it be, why? She would wish to be her sister or at least a regular lumihuman. She blames all of her problems on the fact that she's different and she has not choice in a future.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Traits:
<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Optimist or pessimist? Why? Pessimist. She is always worried about things not working out.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Introvert or extrovert? Why? Introvert. Although she likes to be around people, she'd rather just keep to herself and not contribute to any of their conversations.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Drives and motives:She really hopes that some day she'll be brave enough to leave Mondiluce and she's motivated to study other things than trading and to become more confident.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Extremely skilled at: drawing.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Extremely unskilled at: being confident.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Good characteristics: She's pretty smart and very creative. She's also a good listener and a good friend.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Character flaws:She's too pessimistic, nervous and should be more confident in everything.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Mannerisms: When she's bored, she plays with the ring on her finger.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Peculiarities:She really doesn't like potatoes.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Biggest regret: Not finding out what Jones' father was hiding the day they had the run in with The Fox. She's been curious about it ever since.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Minor regrets:Not speaking up at times she had something to say because she was too scared.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Biggest accomplishment: She doesn't really have many accomplishments other than schoolwork and the time she won a giant teddy bear from a raffle at her dentist appointment.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Darkest secret:Her dream of leaving Mondiluce is a secret because leaving the region is usually something that is frowned upon.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Does anyone know? Jones knows.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> How did they find out: They tell each other everything. He's the only one who she knew wouldn't judge her.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Self-perception:
<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">One word they would use to describe themselves: Creative.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> One paragraph of how they would describe themselves: She is a very creative girl with a dream to become something better than a trader in Mondiluce. She's a good friend and even though she isn't the prettiest girl out there, she has a really good fashion sense and is always designing her own new clothes that she hopes will one day become famous. She's also very quiet and never quite has the confidence to say what's on her mind unless it's with her best friend, Jones.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> What do they consider their best physical characteristic and why: She loves her hair.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> The worst one? Why? She hates her face in general and sometimes doesn't even like her clothing style.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Are they realistic assessments? No.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> If not, why not? She's much prettier than she realizes.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> What four things would they most like to change about themselves:She would like to be more outgoing, she wishes she was adventurous enough to leave Mondiluce sooner, she wishes she was more attractive and she wants to have a better plan for the future.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Why? She's always worried about how things will turn out and she has low self esteem about her looks and her personality.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> If they were changed would they be the same person, why/why not: Uhhh... nope because she would have changed..

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Would changing of number 1 make them more happy? Why/why not: It probably wouldn't because she takes pride in her creativity and being creative is how she wants to spend her future. Maybe if she wasn't creative and wanted to be a trader, her life would be easier. ===<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Interaction with other people: === <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">How do they relate to others: She's quiet but when she has to, she does get along with others really well. She tries to be nice to everyone.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> How are they perceived by strangers: Strangers just see her as quiet because she only really opens up when she has gotten to know someone or when it's just her and another person having to make conversation.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Friends: She has her best friend Jones (pronounced like Jonas) and a few other girl friends who she's not as close with but she's pretty close.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> What do people like most about this char: People like her ability to keep secrets and she lets people tell her all about their problems. People also admire her creativity and style.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> What do they dislike most about them: Some people don't like how quiet and reserved she is.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Goals:
<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Immediate: She wants to find a boyfriend and graduate 14th grade.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Long term: She wants to leave Mondiluce and become a clothing designer but she actually doesn't believe that she will ever have the guts to do this.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> How do they plan to accomplish them: She's going to study really hard and as soon as she graduates with her degree in clothing design. She wants to leave so that she doesn't have to be a trader. She's hoping that by the time she graduates she will be brave enough to actually do it.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> How will others be effected by this: She's okay with leaving everyone except for Jones because they're best friends. She figures she'll still stay in contact with him and meet new people.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Problems/Crisis:
<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">How do they react in a crisis: She gets stressed out and nervous which makes her shake.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> How do they face problems: She is very nervous about facing her problems when having to think it over but when it come right down to it, she can usually pull off fixing the problem.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Kind of problems they usually run into: She wants to fall in love and live happily ever after with someone but that just never works out.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> How they react to new problems:She can be very indecisive about what to do about a problem and most often regrets the decision she has made.

He asked her if she was related to Devandor Detta who is Jones' father. Iis lied and said she was so that possibly she would be able to go into the house and find out some of what was going on. Luckily, The Fox believed her but didn't give her the information she needed. The Fox asked Iis if she would never speak of this to anyone because it might get her in trouble and to send him a letter once in a while to keep him updated on the Detta family in case they needed his help again.
