History;

Canon or AU? AR, everything is the same she simply works at the Met instead of at the Jeffersonian.
Supernatural powers? Being socially awkward and awesome. But, no, none really.
Wikipedia [or other] link to Canon Information: Wiki.

Anything else we should know? The song you're thinking of is "Hard To Live In The City" by Albert Hammond Jr. She graduated top of her class from Northwestern, is a licensed hunter, speaks various slavic languages, as well as Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Latin and Japanese, she is completely socially awkward and enjoys learning about other cultures and societies despite not being able to function or appropriately comprehend them.

In-Game Backstory: Bones' parents were robbers who went into hiding because they testified against their partners. Brennan was originally named Joy Keenan, but when her parents went into hiding for being con artists, they changed her name as well. Her mother was murdered and her remains were kept in the Metropolitan for some time - after becoming the FBI liaison she solved the murder of her mother. Meanwhile, her father took her brother under his wing to go on and pursue their lives of crime while Bones went on to become the only forensic anthropologist in North America, currently. Anyway, Bones was placed in the foster care system. While she was there, she was abused pretty considerably. Not only that, but she felt a certain abandonment from her father and brother because they left her to try and keep her from having to have that criminal life style. After starting work at the Met, FBI Agent Seeley Booth started contacting the Metropolitan for cases involving human remains that were beyond autopsy by regular means. He gave her the nickname Bones, and initially she hated it, but she adapted to it. She works with Angela Montenegro, Jack Hodgins, and Zack Addy (because I'm taking her from the end of season 2).

Questions;


Set I.

Who or what, if anything, would you die for?
Well, I think that this is a... complicated question to answer, considering that there are many variables that can be considered. I mean, not all deaths are the same, some are more painful than others and some people may believe that there is no real purpose in dying for someone considering that we're all going to reach that point in some eventuality. And, of course, there may be some people you would be willing to give your life for but not someone that you are willing to die in a painful way or in a way that invokes suffering for. I suppose, regardless of variables, the simplest answer is that I would die for Booth, Angela, and... my family. They are all very important to me and I can say with certainty that while the influential nature of our lives may not measure up in every case, I wish completely for their happiness.

Would you rather learn everything there is to know, or experience everything there is to experience?
There is a lot that can only be learned through experience, so really if you were to say that you would prefer to learn everything there is to know, you would have to acquire some interesting experiences with all of that knowledge whereas if you simply experienced everything, there may be some things that you didn't learn. So, I would prefer the former.

What is your guilty pleasure?
I believe that guilt is an artificial construct of society and not a real concrete emotion that one can feel. Things such as shame and guilt are completely superfluous, and should not... hinder a person from what they could find to be true or even superficial happiness. I don't find myself confined by such societal expectations, as a general rule.

If you could save any historical figure from their untimely death, who would it be?
I believe that it is difficult to be confined to one historical figure, and considering how many simply died of natural causes or after they had done great things already, it's especially vague. These questions are not very thoroughly thought out. Though, I believe that there is a lot that Madame Marie Curie could have further contributed to the society of her time, though I feel the same about many historical figures.

Which would you rather give up: television or books?
Television is as a general rule about 70% less informative than a text medium and people are far less likely to retain information through visual media than through text. Not to mention books contain a great portion of written history of every civilization. Television would not even be a possibility were it not for the development of written language as a technology, books have far more history to them.

Your hearing, or your eyesight?
I would be far more capable of continuing to perform my job without hearing than without eyesight, so I would have to be inclined to say the former. Hearing can be substituted with body language - which is where 90% of communication comes from in the first place - but eyesight is impossible to replicate in any form.


Set II.


Describe the worst thing you’ve ever done.
Well, that would depend on whether you mean morally, ethically, or legally. Legally, it would most likely be the instance in which I facilitated my father's escape from police custody, considering the crimes with which he was being charged. Morals are entirely subjective so there is no real answer to that. Ethically, I suppose many people would claim that the worst thing I have done is essentially disown my family because of their choice to abandon me, which I feel is completely justified.

Describe your first kiss.
As in most cases I was the one who took the initiative. I was in junior high school and I found my lab partner to be particularly attractive - though his misuse of lab equipment was even at the time obscene - and I simply caught him after the class one day and made my sentiments known by kissing him. In hindsight, I can say that it was obvious that I was his first, if that is more the description you're looking for.

Describe the most difficult experience you have ever had to deal with.
My father took my brother and left me when I was very young, and so I was placed into the foster system. I went through five families before I became an adult, but the worst was my third. My foster mother warned me that the dish was too hot and what would happen if I dropped it, but I did it anyway and I shouldn't have and I dropped it but she locked me in a trunk for two days and I just... I don't think it was very fair. I didn't mean to drop it, it was just so hot. And, I was just a child.
