01. What they smell like: Typically, linen starch, candy corn, and various taxidermy chemicals. Norman is someone who keeps himself very clean, so there is also the scent of shampoo and ivory soap.
02. How they sleep: Norman is a very light sleeper. His nights are never dreamless, and any noise from the outside world can easily startle him awake.
03. What music they enjoy: Classical pieces, usually Beethoven and Saint-Saens. Mother would never allow him to go near the modern devil music.
04. How much time they spend getting ready: He follows the same schedule he’s had since he was seventeen years old; wake-up, check on Mother, shower, get dressed and comb his hair, and maybe squeeze in something to eat before heading off to work. Typically, the whole routine takes him about an hour.
05. Their favorite thing to collect: Birds! Preferably of the deceased kind.
06. Left- or right-handed: Lefty.
07. Favorite sport: Ha.
08. Favorite tourist activity: He’s never traveled.
09. Favorite kind of weather: Autumn weather. Warm but cool at the same time, with dying leaves crunching beneath his feet.
10. A weird/obscure fear they have: People finding out that Mother tricked them about her death. He was so careful in helping her, to have it all go to a waste would just destroy him.
