WHAT MY CHARACTERS WOULD DO AS HOBBIES


The Fairy Queen would research old spells and magic found on other worlds in case she could think of a use for it - and she would find a use!  She likes music, her favourite kind being fanfares.  After all it is what she’s most used to hearing!  She likes fine art - her ancestors have collected so much of it the Queen feels it’s obligatory to take an interest in it.


Eileen just wants to do anything human so gardening is high on her list.   It’s also Derek’s passion (other than herself!) and she loves spending time with him so both are well weathered, both have had their fair share of being torn to shreds by awkward plants that really don’t want to be moved or removed.  Eileen likes nice food and drink too. 


Jenny loves books though has gone off fantasy somewhat since discovering her mother’s past.  Fairy tales no longer seem so sweet, given actual fairies are far from perfect beings.  She also loves music in a wide range of styles.  Her passions she saves for Paul and chocolate.  This woman has her head screwed on the right way!  And when Eddie comes along, Jenny reads every parenting book and magazine she can get her hands on.  Jenny also regularly reads her Bible notes and is particularly fond of the Psalms.


The Chief Witch doesn’t enjoy hobbies.  She sees her job as spreading terror and destruction and trying to grab the Fairy Kingdom throne as one great big hobby.  Why seek anything else?  Though to be fair the Witch has got spying to an art form.
