ABOUT #1: Veronica Mars
what do they do for a living?
If it's an in-canon story, she's working with/for her dad. If it's a post story, she might be a waitress by day and an investigator by night, or she might be working for the FBI.
what do they dress like?
She dresses for the covert op. Wigs, memorable outfits, maybe all black. When she's at home, she likes to veg out in flannel sleep pants and a tank top.
who is their best friend?
Wallace Fennel is her BFF. Before that it was Lilly Kane.
how would they respond to abuse?
She'd break the abuser's arm. Or ram a unicorn horn into any available body part. Short that, a cutting blue glare and many witty threats.
do they have any nicknames?
Ronnie, V. At least, those are the repeatable ones.
are they seeing anyone? married?
She's occasionally seeing Logan Echolls, with a few cops or drug dealers thrown in there, with Duncan Kane as the once (and future, heh) man in her life.
what species are they?
Human.
do they eat meat?
With great relish. Or maybe just spaghetti sauce.
what kind of accent do they have?
Depends on the job. Or, not really.
are they a virgin?
No, thanks to Duncan Kane, and then Duncan Kane again.

ABOUT #2: Dana Scully
what is their middle name?
Katherine
how old are they?
Right now, let's see... gosh, probably early 40s.
favorite hobby?
Shooting Mulder out of the saddle. Buying satin pajamas just in case Mulder stops by in the middle of the night. Playing Scrabble online. The design of impenetrable security systems. Reading lost-child flyers.
what is their sexuality?
Straight.
any special powers?
Is able to carry a child to full term in about three months, miss or entirely refuse to admit she's seen something she can't explain, and gave birth to a miracle baby whose destiny is to maybe save the human race, or just be randomly telekinetic.
what religion are they?
Catholic, baby.
do they get ridiculed?
Tom Felton tried and she handed his ass to him. She's all about the ass handing. At the occasional FBI ball people might say that she's only with Mulder still because their relationship is more than strictly professional, to which her reply will be a gun in the face.
what species are they?
Human, we think.
who are their friends?
Her mother, usually Mulder, Holly from Accounting. Sometimes Doggett. Skinner, when those pesky nanites aren't acting up. And sometimes she corresponds with Eddie Van Blundht.
have they ever wanted to kill someone?
Hells yes. And she has.
*
ABOUT #3: Nancy Drew
what color is their hair?
Blonde, or strawberry blonde, or titian, or black when she's impersonating Brenda Carlton. Or a wig.
what is their ethnicity?
WASP all the way!
what is their favorite food?
She loves pizza and whatever Hannah has in the oven, and her father's cinnamon French toast.
do they have a nice singing voice?
She could win contests if she wanted. And probably has.
have they ever hurt someone?
Yeah, but only if they asked for it.
are they a virgin?
Canonically, I'd go with yes, for all series except On Campus. In my head, usually not for long.
are they single?
She's almost always with Ned but if she isn't, she's never single for long.
*
ABOUT #4: Della Street
male or female?
Very female.
favorite color?
She likes blue, but if Perry asked, it would probably be pink.
who is their worst enemy?
Hamilton Burger or Sgt. Holcombe. Or whatever skank has her lipstick imprinted on Perry's face when Della comes in to take dictation.
what sort of clothes do they wear?
She's conservative, but she does love a nice pair of silk stockings and a skirt that displays them to advantage. She tries to be pretty much dressed for anything, since at any moment Perry may have her sliding down an embankment after a thunderstorm or switching places with a client.
where are they from?
The Midwest, maybe around Iowa. Her family had money but lost it all, so she came out to California to keep afloat.
are they in a relationship?
She's married to her work because that's the only way she can keep Perry. If she could work for Perry and be his wife, she'd be all over that. One of those times they're in Cancun she might surprise him and say yes for once.
what would they do if held at gunpoint?
She would keep her wits about her and make sure to get a signal to Perry or Paul somehow as soon as she could. She'd also do her damndest to escape and then might have a bit of a cry in Perry's strong, comforting arms later.
*
ABOUT #5: Ned Nickerson
are they magic in any way?
He has a magical knowledge of random things like rock formations, enough to fill in any (tiny) gaps in Nancy's own immense knowledge bank. And he's almost supernaturally athletic.
what religion are they?
WASP, baby!
do they have any kids?
Canonically, almost certainly not. However he most certainly wants to have children with Nancy.
has anyone close to them ever died?
Nancy's been near death a few times, and I might have killed his parents.
what kind of animal would they be?
He'd be a wildcat, of course.
what television shows do they like?
When Nancy's not around, he does like to catch Baywatch. Otherwise, ESPN's SportsCenter, and Two and a Half Men.
what is their fondest memory?
Nancy saying yes when he asked her to be his girlfriend.
*
ABOUT #6: Lois Lane
what number would represent them?
1.
where are they from?
Metropolis.
do they consider themselves pretty?
Usually. Unless she's comparing herself to one of Clark's past girlfriends. But she's generally quite self-confident.
how often do they sleep?
When it's deadline time, definitely not enough. And when Clark's not home, not very well.
do they daydream?
Yes. Sometimes it involves old sitcoms and plastic baby dolls. And the Queen.
what is their sexuality?
Straight.
do they have hobbies?
She doesn't have time for hobbies, thanks! Other than watching her soap on VHS. And gorging on chocolate when the day hasn't gone very well.
*
ABOUT #7: Adam Newman
do they like being outdoors?
Well, sometimes it is unavoidable. He's pretty comfortable anywhere, especially because he never has to be anywhere very long if he doesn't want to be.
what is their personality like?
Conciliatory, amiable, a bit of a joker, very responsible and leaderly.
do they hate anyone?
He's deeply distrustful of government agents, anyone with glowing green eyes, and those bent on world domination. Hate is reserved for whoever beat Manchester U for the cup.
do they have a crush? who?
He did have that fling with Lucy Allen, but once he realized that her shrill and annoying mannerisms were making everyone else hate him, he cooled things. He has a bit of a crush on Lisa, and a bit of a crush on Ami, but it's nothing definite.
are they intelligent?
Usually. If the plot calls for it, he can be surprisingly slow to pick up on obvious clues, but he's usually quick-witted.
