1. Nan’s favorite animal is the chicken.
2. She’s afraid of heights.
3. She’s the youngest of three girls. Her oldest sister is the pretty one and the middle sister is the bold one, so she often feels less special when she compares herself to them.
4. She loves dresses, but doesn’t get to wear them very much after joining the school because it’s hard to fight in dresses.
5. She likes to cook, and her favorite food is freshly baked bread with honey.
6. She always carries a dagger, often concealed under clothes, that Trowan gave her. It was an heirloom from his family that he decided she needed more than him.
7. Some of her fondest childhood memories are listening to her father telling stories to the family after a hard day’s work with crickets chirping in the background.
8. She owns a donkey named Clover, who was gifted to her, and a cat named Ash, who she rescued off the street.
wanted to know about Entasa.
1. Entasa, along with her twin brother, Estir, was found as a baby on the doorstep of an orphanage in a basket. The only other thing in the basket was a piece of paper with their names written on it.
2. By the time they were eight, they had run away and were living on the streets.
3. She’s always feared being forced into prostitution, and decided to trust only her brother to protect herself from that.
4. She’s a very good swimmer, because she grew up in a port city.
5. She’s always been curious about her past, wanting to know where she came from.
6. She knows the value of keeping her mouth shut, but when she does decide to speak she doesn’t see the point in sugar coating what she says.
7. When it comes to her and her brother, she’s usually both the spokesperson and the distraction, to give him more time to observe and strategize.
8. Shes been afraid, or at least wary, of crabs ever since one pinched her when she was little.
wanted to know about Spider.
1. Spider is the Chief’s daughter, so she feels like she has to be calm and in control of herself at all times.
2. She feels the most free when riding horses.
3. She has a very strong sense of duty and is devoted to her people.
4. She has trouble relating to others her own age in social settings, and feels much more comfortable interacting with professionals. This is because she can relate to the ideas of having a job to do, working hard to do it well, and taking pride in it, very well.
5. Her father is her best friend, and the only person she feels completely relaxed around. She can talk to him about anything, except the mother she’s never known, that topic’s taboo.
6. She’s a good hunter, as is expected of her, but most of the time she’d rather be doing something else.
7. She’s always been curious about the world outside her home, but has always been too busy with her responsibilities to go exploring, even in books.
8. She has an excellent memory, and is able to memorize things quickly.
Aaaaand now for the 12 questions tags!
wanted to know:
01 What is your best attribute or trait? (physical or mental. Be honest)
I would say it’s my imagination and curiosity, my desire to be different from the norm. (Some may say that’s three, but I find them to be very interconnected. At least in the way I use them.)
02 What about your worst?
Procrastination, no doubt.
03 Have you ever trolled anyone, and why?
I don’t think so, although I did find it hilarious the one time my sister had a conversation with a raging troll here on DA. She was super polite and deliberately oblivious to their rudeness, which could be considered another form of trolling, depending on how you look at it.
04 Which of my stories is your favourite?
Hmmmm… Probably Amber Hunt’s story. I love dinosaurs.
05 What is your favourite Genre in literature?
Fantasy! (Especially adventure.) I also enjoy science fiction.
06 What about in art?
Oh, I don’t know. I like pretty much anything that tells a story and/or gives off a sense of wonder and/or epicness. Go creeping through my favorites if you’re really curious.
07 Describe yourself as a character trope/stereotype
A combination of goodie two shoes, shy/introverted, optimist, and “the idea girl.”
08 What was the last active thing you did?
Dance class! (We started learning the tango and I loved it.)
09 How far have you got on Pokemon Go?
Nowhere, I didn’t get the game to begin with.
10 Who is your favourite Disney character that is NOT a Princess?
Lilo (I’m not sure if I can say that definitively, but I do love her.)
11 Who is your favourite Villain from any series, film or book?
Lonoke (I tend not to connect with villains like some people do, but this guy has brought me such fun because of what he means to me and my friends.)
Villain I most love to hate: Deloris Umbridge
Villain I most love to care about: Dr Horrible
12 What is your favourite song from an animation? (nil-point for 'Let It Go' )
That is such a hard question. I like lots of songs for different reasons. I’ll just throw out the first one that comes to mind.
He Mele No Lilo, from Lilo and Stitch.
wanted to know:
1: Who is your fav character? (Can be from any source, TV, books, Video Games, Ect.)
Oh God… The Doctor! No, Zoro… or Sanji? Wait, maybe Katara. Or it could be Will Treaty. But what about Hiccup? But maybeeeeeeeeee, the entire cast of Schlock Mercenary… or Firefly. I do adore Ayona…
(Doctor Who, One Piece x2, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Ranger’s Apprentice, How to Train your Dragon, Schlock Mercenary, Firefly, and The Velegent.)
2: If you could pick ONE power, what would it be?
Shapeshifting (That gives me a few other powers by proxy, like flight, breathing underwater, that sort of thing.)
3: Would you consider yourself a spiritual person? (In any aspect of the word)
One million percent yes.
4: You are faced with death of drowning in icecream or freefalling into a pit of snakes. Which would you choose?
I’m assuming the fall would be enough to kill me, though I’d feel bad if I squished some of the snakes.
5: Any one weird habit that you have? If so, what is it?
Everyone has weird habits. One of mine is I bounce my leg.
6: What's your musical preference?
Pretty much anything that sounds epic and/or has a good story in the lyrics.
7: Any experience other than drawing?
Like, creative or anything? I’m a writer, it’s what I want to do with my life. I ride horses (western style). I’m a black belt. I’m learning to be a sound mixer. I’m also an excellent order taker at my job, Milios.
8: Do you know where this quote comes from? "I am error,". (lol, I had to. XD)
Hmm, no. Where did it come from?
9: If someone dared you to go on a blind date, would you do it?
Depends on if I trust that person’s judgment on picking dates.
10: How about Karaoke for 50$ ? :3 On stage...in front or your friends...and family???
Sure. I’d probably feel more comfortable if I had friends/family there.
11: Let It Gooo, Let it Gooo... Do you wanna kill me yet?
Oh yes.
12: Are you happy where you are in life?
Well, yes, but I kinda feel like I shouldn’t be. Like I should be striving for better and more but I’m actually comfortable with what I have. It’s not like I don’t have plans, it’s just that I don’t feel the burning desire to make those plans come to fruition right now.
Alrighty! Now I get to ask you some questions. Congratulations everyone! You are now my focus group. (If you can't pick a definite favorite for any of the questions, just pick one you like a lot.)

An Abandoned Story: Bowie's Mission
An Abandoned Story
-Bowie’s Mission-
Dead Bowie walked down the corridor, his feet barely making a sound.
Over the years, here at the E.L.E, he had learned to keep quiet. It probably wouldn’t matter anyway, there were over a dozen cameras watching him at once. That thought of being watched still gave him the creeps, even after seven years of being a member.
He passed by Fake Thomas Jefferson’s chamber, then Snake Bite’s, and past Tie Dye’s. All with gigantic Victorian doors that loomed over him. Bowie was glad he had his room over on the other side of the building, near Fury Leika. Of course there was a lot of Leika’s cat minions racing around everywhere, but at least he didn’t have to see Snake Bite hissing at him at a daily basis.
He followed the corridor down to the stairs, towards the laboratories, where Professor Normal and the new guy, Dr. Horrible, lived.
