Interview with Popola Pola

I was tagged by @steak-n-popotoes!

Popo will tag-!! @master-crafter @seattlesmoke @seventhstartravel @sagewindfeather @silverlining-ffxiv

Popola sat waiting quietly, albeit a bit nervously, at a teahouse to where she had been asked to meet some writer she hadn’t heard the name of before. Just before the writer had come and taken a seat she regretted agreeing to the meeting. A chat with a friend, fine, but being the subject of an article?!

What is your full name?

Popola sits stiffly in her chair, shoulders straight and completely upright. She seems tense from worry.

“P-PopoLA!” Her voice cracked and she took a moment to clear her throat,

“ My birthname is Popola Sil Pola.” she answers pretty plainly, “ But I have also gone by Mrs.Cledwyn” she adds as if it was quite and important fact.

What do your friends call you?

“Hm?” She blinks blankly, taking a little time to answer. A small tug of her lip shows a smile and she processes the frankly, easiest of questions.

“Popo.” She shifts in her seat, seemingly trying to get a bit more comfortable.

What is your favorite animal?

“ Ah-...” She puts her hands together, “favourite animal..? Is that... really what you wanted to ask me?” The lalafell seemed surprised by the tame nature of the interviewers inquiries. She straightens her back,

“I don’t think it is kind to favour one creature over another. We all flora and fauna share the universe together.” she says with a nod, and flusters when the interviewer expresses theiqr dissatisfaction with her answer.

“That... being said, it’s hard for me to resist the gentle charm of a dwarf rabbit. Oh! and Paissa! Such curious eyes they have.”

Where were you born?

“ There was a small merchant village in Eastern Thanalan by the Wellwick wood,” she sighs softly, “I.. believe that would be where I was born...”

Do you have children?

The girl seems to fluster as her cheeks instantly go a bright red.

“ AAhh-! Well um...” she shakes her head vehemently, “Some one like me wouldn’t be a fit mother..” she admits.

“Eryna and Najmah are so smart,warm, well mannered and refined. A mother should be someone like that, no? Ah, well I suppose Ms.Zhloe is just as good a fit! When I visit Menphina’s Arms she’s always so inviting and kind! It’s no wonder the children adore her.”

Is there a person/people you love?

Her worried expression softens, visibly turning to mush.

“Y-yes ❤️ ,” she answers meekly and begins to daydream before being pressed for details. “It took me forever to realize what that feeling was. I thought I was going crazy you know? But Renaud just does that to me... he makes me crazy in the best way I have ever felt. It’s as if... nothing before or after matters when I’m around him. Everything is okay when I see him happy. ❤️ ” she sighs,

“When he sings I forget mine own name...”

What is your favorite color?

“The gold of Renaud’s eyes” she says, then laughs, “What a sickly sweet response that would be! Mm.. I would have to say I enjoy pinks and blues quite a bit. Ah.. and the gold wasn’t a lie either.”

What is your full occupation?

“Okyu pay shon?” she repeats, taking a full moment to process what that word was. “C-can.. you ella-bore-ate please?”

Are you good at physical fighting?

Popola nods affirmitively.

“I would say moreso, I am very good at physically demanding tasks. I’m not a big fan of ‘fighting’. A nice friendly spar really gets the blood pumping ❤️ “

Which form are you best at?

“Hand to Hand combat” Popola sits calmly with her hands crossed on her lap.

What about magic?

“Hmm...” she rests her head into her hand as she thinks it over, “ Not... so well I am afraid. Once I was able to start using it, the sensation was a bit overwhelming. My casting is rather unrefined and... undependable I would say.”

Which type are you best at?

Her eyes downturn, “Recent discoveries have lead me to start training with Astromancy. One reason is to pay tribute to her Divinity Nymeia, the overseer of stars. It reminds me of home re-learning the constellations and feeling their gentle energies.”

Craftsmanship?

“Ah, this is easy!” she smiles softly and pulled out a hankerchief from her pocket with a small lotus blossom embroidered into it.

“Weaving and working with gold are my strongsuits! Didn’t expect that from a monk, hm?” she giggles, “My grandfather was a goldsmith in his time, I had picked up the trade in his memory. And...” she blushes a bit, “Sewing an actual dress to wear was a sily dream of mine since I was a girl. I-I mostly patch clothing and embroider. Oh! and toys! I’ve made some toys for Menphina’s Arms as well.”

Any other skills?

She puts a finger to her lip and ponders a while. Though she is capable in many things, Popola finds it difficult to actually claim or realize these skills.

“I... can dance? Actually, the style of dance I know helped me develop a fighting style that suits my runt stature!”

Are you an only child?

Another silence. She had never considered the idea that she might have siblings she was unaware of.

“... As far as I know, yes. But... there was a boy who I crossed paths with for a while.” She smiled. “Never had I seen someone so gentle, I just wanted to carry him everywhere! Beef is the closest thing I have to a sibling I suppose.”

Where do you see yourself in five years?

“....” she smiles weakly.

Have you ever almost died?

“ Oh more than I can count,” she says confidently, “whether that is a lot or not is beyond me since I’m still learning my numbers...” a laugh at her own expense.

“...It feels like a lot though. So many that It almost feels like cheating to still be here.” the girl spoke lightly but her expression was heavy for a moment before fixing it back into a pleasant smile for the interviewer.

Do you have a secret, not just a secret, but like a really big secret, hardly anyone knows?

Popola crosses her arms and thinks a while. She looks determined to come up with some sort of answer that would satisfy the interviewer.

“I would like to say no because I can’t think of anything” she puffed out her cheeks, “But... it seems the people around me think I’m kind of mysterious.”

Salty or sweet?

“Sweet” the answer was given so quickly and with such a grin.

Do you like yourself?

“....” Popola remains silent but gives a kind smile.

Do you believe in the Twelve?

Popola nods affirmatively. “When I had no one else, the Twelve gave me strength to continue on." Worship of the Twelve is pretty normal for where she is from, so this question seemed a bit silly to her.

“Nymeia is my matron. Mmm.. to a lesser extent her servant Rhalgar has taught me so much. The Twelve was all I knew growing up, but these days... I’ve heard of so many different gods and beliefs,” she smiles, “I would really love to learn more about what all types of people believe in!”

Are you religious?

Again, she nods.

“My body became strong with routine training, but my heart remained weak.” She says matter-of-factly, “Embracing the practices of my faith more seriously helped me to become strong in my heart and soul as well.”

Do you carry prejudice with you?

She shakes her head. “Every person on this star lives a unique experience. Where ...or who you came from matters not.” She shifts in her seat and rubs her arm, feeling a bit silly having been speaking up so much.

“I just.. don’t think it’s fair.”

What do you consider entertainment?

“Hmmmnn...” she seems deep in thought for a good few minutes. Another few minutes, then another. It takes a beckon from the interviewer to snap Popola out of her trance.

“Huh? Hm?” she looks around, “F-forgive me, what was the question?”

Favorite drink?

“I really like Mulled tea,” Popola says, swinging her legs over the chair, “Coerthan tea is also very good. Oh and a mint lassi is great after a day in the heat!”

Do you have any family traditions?

“This is another difficult one...” she sighs, “Eno has been teaching me about some holidays! I forget which is which sometimes but he says it’s cute. Hee hee. Mmm.. the only tradition I could think of was stargazing with my grandparents. But that wasn’t on a certain day. I don’t.. think..”

Are you a good person?

Her head lowers.

“That is.. a good question,” Popola gives a small chuckle, looking down at her hands.

“Can goodness be judged by ones’ intent or by the outcome of ones’ actions? If one acts because they feel obligated, does that rule out the ‘good’?” she sighs.

“I have met a lot of good people in my travels. A lot of well-intentioned folk who give their all for a cause, or a person, or a belief. I admire them wholeheartedly.” A tear drops into her hand and she covers her face,

“P-please excuse me. C-can we move one to the next question?”

Thank you for answering my questions.

“A-ah yes!” Popola hops off her seat and bows, “Thank you. I mean...” she stands up a bit flustered, “Thank you for giving me the chance to speak to you. May the Twelve bless your travels.”
