The People Around Me

You all know me, but I haven't said much about the people I'm with, outside what they're doing. It occurs to me that I should talk about them and get my thoughts on them. I will say that, compared to them, I'm a complete newbie.

Alanna Morgan: Alanna is.... intense. She's the type of girl who doesn't put up with anyone's guff. If she's a cop like she says, then she's something like out of those Hard-Boiled dramas, where the cop smacks around the suspect and antagonizes his superiors. She also scares me a little. She's really confrontational and angry. Violence is her first answer to the situations we've encountered so far, though she's hardly the only one who seems that way. I'm in a group of warriors, so I shouldn't be surprised, I guess. She seems to have some more experience at this whole "being a Scion" thing than me, so she's probably better prepared than I am.

Moira Daegr: She tells me she's a well renowned author. I've never read her books, but then, life at the orphanage didn't leave a lot of leisure reading time. Like Alanna, she's been at this Scion thing longer than me and seems to understand the lay of the land much better. While she's more composed than Alanna, she still has this "don't fuck with me" edge (maybe its something that all Irish Scions have?). She definitely wears the pants in her and Alanna's relationship. A word or two seems to placate the firey red-head or get her to do what Moira wants. She also takes pride in being prepared for everything (though that doesn't seem to extend to her choice of wardrobe). Though I still can't figure out if her relationship with Alanna is a fling or more serious.

Hosho Tetsuko: She's probably the biggest mystery to me, right now. She's quiet, keeps to herself, polite, and yet... she seems to act like she's from a different time. She carries herself like a stoic warrior from Japan's samurai era and wields her naginata with deadly effieciency. What did she do before coming to Montana? She can't have been just an average modern, Japanese girl... could she? I hope she becomes comfortable enough to open up to us. Actually, I did catch her trying not to laugh during the interrogation, so she's not all-stoic all-the-time.
