Q. Describe your self. What do you think about yourself and do you think people perceive you in the same way?

A. Um, I'm nothing special really. I guess I'm pretty small, and I have a small presence too. I don't think I'm very noticeable aside from how my mutation makes me look, so I don't think people really notice me much either.


Q. Which is your most favorite book ever?

A. I'd say Les Misérables. The story is just so beautifully told, and I love how even though the entire book is about misery, it has a warmth and happiness to it at the same time.


Q. Which is the one television character that you simply adore?

A. That would definitely be Neko Musume from GeGeGe no Kitarou. That was an old Japanese cartoon about a boy and supernatural beings my mother had on videotape. I would watch it over and over again growing up.


Q. What kind of music do you like?

A. I'm quite fond of older music in general, as well as pop and soft rock.


Q. Which is your favorite genre of movies?

A. Hmm, probably horror. I generally don't like people getting hurt in movies, but at the same time I just love the mystery and excitement in horror movies, and if the protagonists survive the ordeal, that is a far bigger success than any other protagonist in any other genre can accomplish. Plus, I love when horror involves the supernatural. I think that stems from my growing up on GeGeGe no Kitarou.


Q. What do you do when you feel very sad or depressed?

A. I tell myself that there is no need to be down about it, that things could always get worse, and my moping won't do any good for anyone.


Q. What makes you angry? Are you short-tempered? How do you overcome your anger?

A. I don't think anything really makes me angry... I'm not sure if I've ever really even been angry before.

Q. Which is your most cherished childhood memory? What kind of kid were you, naughty or nice?

A. I remember the first time I ever went horseback riding. My father wanted me to learn some kind of sport, but I wasn't good at anything... eventually he decided I should try riding, and I wasn't terrible at it. Better yet, I realized just how much I loved horses and how much of an affinity I felt towards them. The first time riding just felt amazing and free, and I met one of my closest childhood friends, Palimio. She was the mare I rode most often during practice. And I really hope I was a good kid overall...

Q. Name one person you love the most and one person you hate the most.

A. I could not choose someone I love the most between my parents... and I most certainly do not hate anyone.


Q. If we were a couple and we had a fight, how would you try to patch things up?

A. U-us, a couple..? Oh, this... this is just hypothetical, right...? I don't think I could manage to get in a fight with you, but of course I would do everything I could to make up for it... I would apologize, ask what I could do to make it up, do anything you wanted me to...


Q. What is the funniest prank played on you or played by you?

A. I don't think I've ever really played any pranks or had any played on me...


Q. If given a choice, which animal would you want to be? Why?

A. I love just wearing a simple white T-shirt and black shorts (not jeans though; they're too heavy and rough), then just throwing on flip-flops, but it's usually too cold for that.
