11. Are they a heavy sleeper or do they wake easily? Heavy but isn't terribly difficult to rouse if someone really needs him.
12. It's a rainy day, what will they do cooped up inside? If he has to be inside, he'd like to sit by the window and look out at the rain. But he's probably working. However, Raphael tends to prefer standing in a storm.
13. Do they have a favorite smell? He has a mix of rain/storm, flowers, and herbs.
14. What do they smell like? Do they wear perfume or cologne? He smells like spring just rolled in.

16. How good are they at cooking? Very, very good (19) and nearly as good at baking (17).
17. What's their favorite time of the year and why? Spring, because he likes to see new growth after the hardships of winter.

20. How tall are they, and how do they feel about their height? 5'11" typically. The other is a secret.
21. Can they play any instruments? Yes and fairly well. He's equally very good at the piano, ocarina, guqin, and flute (17), the trumpet and harp (15), the violin (13), but his best instrument is the french horn (20).
22. Do they have a nice singing voice? It's semi-decent (15). He absolutely, 100% sings to his plants (20).
23. Do they talk to themselves? Absolutely, all the time (18).
24. Do they enjoy music? What kind? Heavens, yes (18). Honestly, he'll give everything a try - even polka and the odd genres.
25. Do they make friends easily? He's worse about it these days then he used to be. Mostly because Raphael has had a lot on his plate for a very long time and hasn't had time to make a ton of friends lately.
26. Surprise birthday party! How do they react? He'd absolutely love a surprise party for him! Raphael would enjoy being center-stage of it.

28. How does your character feel about wearing jewelry? Nah, not really his style.
29. If they wear jewelry, what's their favorite piece? Flower crowns.
30. Fashion forward or fashion disaster? Raph doesn't particularly care either way. He will show up in a white robe if summoned by someone who expects angels to look like that.

31. What kind of underwear does your character wear? Boxers usually.
32. Do they wear make-up? What kind? Nah, he doesn't. Though he'd let sick kids give him a "make-over".
33. Do they paint their nails? No, but he'd also let other people paint them for him.
34. Are they quick to get haircuts or do they often let it grow out? He keeps it short, though he didn't used to. In olden days, it wasn't uncommon to see him with long hair.
35. Do they know how to whistle? Absolutely, and he's pretty good at it.
36. Or how to braid hair? He's not bad at it. Usually done for sick people who'd like it done.
37. Are they scared of anything in nature - bugs, snakes, lightning, being on water, etc? Nope, nothing in nature.
38. Have they ever thought they were about to die? Yes. :)
39. How do they react to getting sick? He's a very bad patient. That saying "doctors make the worst patients" probably came about because of Raphael.
40. Are they afraid of blood? He doesn't like to see it outside of the body just because it means someone is bleeding, but he isn't afraid.
41. How do they earn money? He doesn't. Raphael has no real need for money.
42. Are they satisfied with their occupation or do they long to do something else? Actually, he really likes his original job as an angel. Which is healing.
43. How creative are they? He's a creative genius, or close to it (19). Mostly Raphael dabbles in medicine and mixtures of healing herbs. He's good at composing music (14), for whole orchestras if he gets the itch.
44. Do they know how to draw? How skilled are they? He isn't good at drawing at all, but it doesn't stop him from doing it at times. Raphael is only semi-decent at drawing plants.
45. What do they carry around with them during the day (ie in their pockets, a bag, a purse...) Nothing really. He doesn't need to carry anything around when he can just summon/materialize the things he needs the most.
46. Do they have a sweet tooth? Yes, he does (17) but Raphael tries to not over-indulge.
47. Haute cuisine or cheap eats? Cheap, a good chunk of the time. Mostly Raphael wants filling foods, not something where he'll be hungry because the portions are too small.
48. Do they know how to swim? Absolutely. He swims in the ocean with his aquatic friends frequently.
49. Do they have any scars? How did they get them? No. He is unmarred by any scars.
50. What kind of handwriting do they have? neat, messy, cursive. He has very messy - like a doctor's handwriting. Good luck deciphering what he wrote on your prescriptions.
