Ally: Its a tie between the time i broke Nyles' wrist and the time I killed at least 3 to 4 people in one day... well in my defense they were trying to kill me and they killed a friend of mine so it was payback.

Has your MC ever killed another person or thing?

Cass? Hahaha. You don't know half of it.

Will your MC entertain the thought of doing drugs?

Cora: Not at all. Do I want to have my life hanging by a thread by the time I'm twenty cause I couldn't stay away from crack? Don't think so.

How does your MC pose for photos?

Lynn- I just smile, I don't really like the way I look in pictures, but I smile for them all the same. I'd hate to look back at pictures and look like a stick in the mud.

Does your MC work well with other people? or do they prefer to go it alone?

Arianne: I prefer working as a group. You get so much more accomplished that way.

Would your MC consider themselves a brave person? Why or why not?

Ally: Yeahi guess, I wouldnt call myslef brave but my friends probably would. I saved all of humanity... twice. Been though my share of crazy messed up stuff and saved my friends family and strangers multiple times.

Does your MC have a best friend?

Cass doesn't have any, but most people think she's together with Dorian. Under different circumstances, they would have ended up together too.

What kind of weather does your MC like?

Cora: I live for sunny, warm weather. Rain is nice occasionally, but snow just makes me want to crawl up in bed and hibernate.

Is your MC easy to get along with for others?

Arianne: My siblings call me a very friendly person. I've never had any trouble making friends throughout my travels.

Is your MC the look for adventure type or the adventure finds them type?

Definitely looking for adventure.

Your character meets the President, first words out of their mouth are...?

Cora: Um...never really thought about that before. I'll watch it when it's on, sure, and she's an awesome host. I kind of wish I could have the chance to be on the show, but I have no clue what for.

Is your MC the kind who would get really obsessed with a celebrity, or a total celebrity-hater?

Agnieszka: No, not really. There are certainly famous people I admire but that's for what they've done, not for what they are. For example, two fellow East Europeans I hugely admire, for different reasons, are Lech Wałęsa and Martina Navratilova, and I'd probably be reduced to a babbling fangirl if I ever met either of them. But I've got no time for anyone who's famous just being famous - particularly those women who think that a boob job and a footballer husband is all you need. Don't get me started on Jordan! It's scary that plenty of teenage girls think she's a role model. Sorry, I'm beginning to rant - I'd better stop!

What was the last film your MC saw, either in a cinema or on TV or DVD (or even VHS)?
