Which Wind in the Willows Character Are You?
1. You accidentally spill over a jug of fresh milk. What are the first words to escape your mouth?
"Oh, bother! Oh, blow!"
a frustrated, resigned grumble.
"Oh, deary me!"
"O vey! 'tis a sign! I must be doomed! Doomed!"
2. At a party, you usually:
Sit quietly in a corner, observing the festivities with an air of authority.
You're the life and soul of the party! Indeed, how boring this very event would be without your dazzling persona to entertain everyone!
You potter about arranging the food and drink, making sure your guests are happy, a bit shy yourself, but won't go away if you're involved in a conversation.
You're relaxed and jolly, sipping your drink, having a fun time meeting up with friends.
3. Where do you like to live?
Somewhere quiet and peaceful, and most important of all, away from company. You manage rather well all by yourself, thank you very much.
Alone in a nicely furnished, simple but beautiful home--but you certainly wouldn't mind friends sometime. It gets a bit lonely underground.
Anywhere where I can hear the river! The river is my true home.
Nothing but the absolute *best* will do for me! I need wide spaces, a sense of family history about me, and a lot of luxuries. I would simply perish without proper *class* in my surroundings.
4. What is your favourite meal?
Something homely and simple, like a nice pie and a cup of tea will do for you. There's nothing quite like honest, rich home food.
The riverside life requires strong nourishment. I keep a big larder full of different breads, sausages, pickled gherkins, ice cream... everything.
Haute cuisine it must be. Every day must feel like Christmas, with plenty of expensive delicacies piled up on your long table.
You're simple in your pleasures, but don't mind indulging from time to time. Your simple everyday meals are punctuated by surprisingly delicious diversions now and then.
5. What do you most want from life?
Excitement! Adventure! Speed and thrills, things that will make you famous!
A home, a nice simple life, and friendship. Life is quite miserable without friends.
Silence, and someplace where you and your thoughts can be at peace. Not to be bothered.
You want to enjoy everything fully, the sounds and scents of nature, swimming, messing about, living a life full of pleasant, relaxing sensations.
6. What sort of clothes do you usually wear?
You are a snappy dresser, casual but always fashionable. You can spend a lot of time in front of the mirror applying cologne, straightening your whiskers and adjusting your cravat.
Anything that's fashionable, never mind extravagant! You've got the money, so why not spend it on something that will look fabulous on your gorgeous form! You can make anything look good, you are the most dashing person around the whole River Bank.
Uh... clothes? You don't care much about fashion, although your favourite wool vest is starting to tear at the seams, so maybe you ought to get new ones. But as you are so good with needle and thread, you hardly ever need to shop for new clothes.
Hmpfh. Fashion is so vain. If you're trying to make me give up my great-grandfather's old smoking jacket, you'll have to pry it from my cold, dead body.
7. How is your love life?
"Oh, there was someone, so many years ago, when my sight was clear and my hair wasn't gray yet..."
"Love? *blushes terribly* Um... really, friendship is all I need. I can't think of someone possibly falling in love with me, though it would be... nice?" *blush*
"Love, eh? I'm a sworn bachelor, but make no mistake, the ladies like me. Although the last time I shared a bed with someone, it was Moley. And the time before that... Moley again, as he needed to stay overnight. And the time before that, well, uh, Moley... uh." *goes suddenly quiet as realisation dawns*
"I tell you, I'm a true ladykiller, so you better watch your back! The way the prison warder's daughter was giving me the eye, ooh, just let me show her my tricks..."
8. What do you do when a friend is in trouble?
Groan, as it is guaranteed to be Toad again. You don't know why you bother sometimes.
You dash to the rescue. They'll never make it without your skills.
Trouble? Surely they don't need rescuing, besides, it's every man for himself in this cruel world, isn't it?
You are as scared as hell, but you will go and help them anyway, no matter what. After all, they *are* your friends.
9. What do you think about music?
"I can't sing very well (at least I can admit it), so I just mainly sit in my hall and listen to some nice records on my gramophone. Wonderfully relaxing."
"I'm the king of the stage, when it comes to performing the noble art of song! I really should work at the opera and perform to full houses--I am simply the *best*."
"Well, I don't sing much, only to myself when I'm doing the washing up or in the shower. Sometimes I dream of being on stage, singing a jolly song, although in reality the idea terrifies me."
"I fancy myself something of a songwriter! The lyrics and melodies just flow out of me as I sit down to my humble piano. Would you like to hear my new ditty? It's about boating..."
10. What is your relationship with Pan?
"Pan who?"
You flash a knowing smile. "You would like to know, wouldn't you?"
"He's a bit... I don't know--scary! But his song is beautiful, and I wouldn't dream of angering him."
"I can still hear his flutes in my dreams, just on the edge of my memory. It's the most beautiful music I've ever heard."
