Riddles {a Death Note MelloXOC and NearXOC story}

Extra: Character information

Before the semicolon is their original opinion, after is post-L's revelation. If there's a semi-colon after that, then their opinion of L changed after he went after Kira or after he died. If there's no 2nd or 3rd semicolon, they had little to no change in opinion after their original/2nd opinion.

If the opinion is or includes "admirable," you can assume they respect him as well.

● The stats: Matt is the 3rd top kid at Wammy's despite other's listed here having higher knowledge. Other stats balance things out. Your knowledge doesn't mean anything if you don't have the other stats to back it up.

● "Knowledge": Not as straight forward as you think. So the English translation of the stats said "Intelligence," while the original Japanese said "Knowledge." We're going with the latter, because those are two very different things. Our knowledge is the information we have,  our intelligence is our ability to apply our knowledge and other skills.  Our knowledge is something we gain, while our intelligence is something innate. Given these are all Wammy's kids, it's obviously gonna be higher for most them than the average person. Note that despite how low it seems, the average person is a 3 or 4; a 5 or even 6 is pretty good. And while it's not specifically said in HTR13, based on the pattern I see, I think it's possible that knowledge may even apply to their fields rather than overall. But we obviously don't know for sure.

● "Creativity": This is more for things like hatching plans, as opposed to artistic creativity. Think about how Near's plan to switch out the notebooks and how Mikami using his bank on an off day made Near come to an entirely new conclusion. In a way, we might even argue that "Creativity" refers to intelligence.

● "Native of": where they grew up or where they first remember living (OCs only)

● Song: their "theme"; a song that best represents them/their story. In some cases you can picture them speaking to themselves (e.g. Joy & Matt) or to someone else (e.g. Near to Wammy's kids and Light), and in others, you can picture someone else (or multiple people) speaking to them (e.g. Lacey to Allison & Piper to Birdie).

Archive Excerpt -

Though she hasn't come to me, I can tell that Patience is wondering what her particular "gift" is. I propose keeping it this way, as it could provide motivation and bring forth her full potential.

She wishes to join the Kira investigation. Hmm... it's potentially a good opportunity to hone her skills. I will consider bringing this up with Mr. Ruvie.
