- Describe Joe's physical appearance, age, educational background, and speech patterns: Joe was 1.85 meters tall, with long, black bear around his face and a flat nose. His eyes were small, along with long eyelash, making him perfect to move in snow that nothing could easily go into his eyes. No one knew about his age because he was an abandoned child, but it was sure that his age went around 28 to 30. He had never been to school since there was no traditional school in the world, but he did pass the test as a hunter last year, by killing a bear independently. He was not a talkative person, but he tried to pronounce everything clearly due to his past experience—he knew that it may cause death (save him but not safe’in) - What would a stranger notice 5 minutes after meeting Joe? His left eye was blind because of snow blindness after he was abandoned. - What would a companion notice after 5 days of travelling with, working with, or being around Joe? Joe really cared about fact. He did not have the ability to tell lies to other people. He also cared about justice, and tried to eliminate inequality and pain from the frozen land. This was probably because of his past experience, that he was saved by a group of caring people when he was only an infant. - Who are Joe's parents? Are they still alive? No one knew who were his parents. They disappeared from the world, leaving Joe alone. Maybe they were killed by the harsh weather, or they refuged into a place far away from where Joe was current living. - What if Joe met his parents? How would he behave? Joe would be angry with them, but he was not likely to attack them. Joe thanked his parents for birth to him, but he hated them because they discarded Joe when he was young. Therefore, Joe may project a friendly distance. He refused to build a close relationship, but he would be kind. - Where did Joe grow up? What if Joe had grown up somewhere else? What if he didn't like his home? Joe grew up in the orphanage in the village. He was not the extroverted kind and he got nearly no friend when he was a child. He lived completely independently, which helped him a lot in his dream of being a hunter. He learnt about how to take care of himself, curling in the cold air in the middle night, or making a fire with some wooden sticks. A lot of children died in the hostile environment, but he managed to survive and became strong and independent. If he did not born in the orphanage, he was likely to be a ordinary person working in a mine or a workshop, depending on what his parents had learnt to do. He already hate his home and he really wanted to live in the past, prosperous world.
