Insider Information about Candle Bearclaw

Welcome! We’d like to know more about you. Please add info you’re comfortable sharing.
Age: mid thirties
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Aspen Ridge, Colorado
Profession: Former CIA Agent

Please provide a physical description of yourself.

I’m 6 feet tall, curvy muscular build, long wavy dark cinnamon hair. I usually have my hair pulled back in a ponytail or one long braid.

What is your middle name?

No one knows this; it’s embarrassing. My mother, Pekabo, is an artsy hippy and she named me Candle (because I was the light of my parents life) Rainbow (back to the light of their life) Bearclaw (my dad is native American).

How well does your name fit your personality?

Growing up, probably. In the CIA, no way. Source of embarrassment mostly. I don’t believe anyone in the agency knew my middle name except superiors.

Do you believe in love at first sight?

Yes. I had a crush on Miacoh since I was in middle school. Of course, he never knew it. We grew up and went our separate ways, only to return to our hometown under the strangest of circumstances and find ourselves thrown together in a murder investigation of all things.

Do you believe in magic?

I have to admit it now, yes. Growing up and in the CIA I hated that my mother had “talents” she could sorta see things others couldn’t. Like things that were about to happen, before they did. However, I too have the gift and others. Though I denied it my whole life until recently.

What is your astrological sign?

Aquarius

Do you enjoy dressing up or prefer to dress casually?

Both, depending on the event.

If a place where you shop installed benches in various sections, where would you sit?

Yes. I love to people-watch. Part of my training is to profile people by their actions, body language, mannerisms, etc. In some cases, your life depended on getting it right. Now, it’s an enjoyable pastime, with no consequences.

Favorites:

Smell – Lilacs
Color – purple
Taste – Pizza
Sound – Rock music
Texture – soft as silk

Can you:

Swim? yes
Use chopsticks? yes
Roller skate? yes
Ski? yes
Fly a plane? Officially, no. In a pinch, yes.
Ride a horse? yes

How good are you with technology?

Well, let’s see, I was recruited out of college by the CIA, because I was top of my class in computer tech of all kinds. I’ve hacked and planted worms in foreign governments, without leaving a trace, and you name it I can decode it. Now what do you think? Sorry, sometimes a get a little cheeky about my abilities. Didn’t mean to offend you.

If you called your author on the phone, what ringtone would play?

The Devil Went Down to Georgia.

What is your favorite play or theatrical performance?

Phantom of the Opera

If you could choose a theme song to play when you entered a scene, which one of the following would fit best:

Hard rock

BONUS: Which would your author choose for you?

Hard Rock. We understand each other, mostly.

Who is the one person who can convince you to do something you know you shouldn’t?

Not a soul alive.

Name a friend who is most likely to:

Drink too much and need a ride home
