1. Who makes up your family?  How close are you to them?

Aurora Puerstella

Aurora laughs, shifting in their seat as they think of their answer. Out of nervousness, embarrassment, or something else, who knows?

"Well, there's my mom, my dad. And two siblings, both younger than me," they bring up a hand to brush some hair away from their eye.

"My mom is uhhh...very mindful of social conduct, etiquette, rules and stuff. My dad likes to talk a lot, but sometimes he doesn't finish his sentences, and I have to ask him to repeat himself." That was all over the place.

"Alanna, my younger sister, is currently studying in RSA. She's very hardworking, and rigid, and edgy. You should listen to the stuff she says sometimes, it's kinda cringe," Aurora laughs.

"Alaric, my younger brother, is very hyperactive, chatty, and playful," Aurora sighed. "He's the only extrovert in the family. Can you guess who lonely he gets when everyone's busy doing their own thing?"

"How close are you to them?"

"Who asks these kinds of questions anyway?" they mumble in reply. "If you couldn't tell, I'm not very close to any of them."

Slyvan Marwood

"My grandma," Slyvan chirps proudly. "She's really friendly, always welcoming to any guests we have. She knows how to cook up a storm, sew, and tell some good dramatic stories! Unfortunately most of her stories are about me..."

"And then there's my mom. She makes the most amazing chicken soup, it's almost as good as any healing potion for when you're sick!" Slyvan giggled. "That was a joke, please don't assume chicken soup is more effective than actual medicine."

"And my dad! You really need to try his apple pie sometime. It's the best food I've ever eaten," Slyvan looked like he was drooling just thinking about it. "He's a fisherman, and would often drag me onto his boat to help him. Yes, he had to drag me. I really didn't like fishing," he chuckled sheepishly. "I found it boring, okay?"

"How close are you to them?"

"Hm? I like to think we're close," Slyvan nodded after a bit of a pause. "As far as families go, I'd say we're pretty tight-knit!"

Chandani Kumar

"I'm the middle child in my family. Dad, mom, and two siblings," she smiled. "It gets chaotic sometimes, especially when my dad gets these crazy ideas to go geyser-sliding for a family outing, but I wouldn't trade it for the world." The warm smile stretching across her face proves her genuineness.

Zhang Xue Mei

"I have a dad who makes wonderful dumplings and a mom who insisted on telling me stories every night before bed," she chuckles. "And I also had a wise old grandpa who taught me how to play chess...Had, yeah. I miss him sometimes."

"How close are you to them?"

She smiles with a tilt of her head, resting her chin on a hand. "I'm the only child, so I'd say I'm quite close to my parents. Never had to keep much from them."

Emile Briar

"I have a wonderful mother, and plenty of rumbustious siblings," Emile laughed, eyes closed. "It's a very big family, and some of us had to fight for our fair share of attention, but I can't say we didn't have our fun times~!"

"My mother has this regal air to her, is driven when she sets her mind to something, and an abundance of magic." If one didn't know any better, they would think Emile to be bragging. But sweet, charming Emile wouldn't do that, right?

"How close are you to them?"

"Very close of course! I dare say I know everyone like the back of my hand. Some of my shyer siblings don't like it when I shower them in gifts for their birthday, but I can't help it," he chuckles. "They're just too cute!"

20. Describe your biggest pet peeve.

Aurora Puerstella

"When we do experiments in science class I guess. Partly because it's so noisy and chaotic, partly because the answer is there in the book already anyway. What's the point in doing an experiment if I already know the results?" They sulk like a petulant child, blowing at a strand of their hair. "I'm not a kinesthetic learner, so most experiments are really just boring for me."

Slyvan Marwood

"I don't like it when people yell for no reason," he answers almost meekly, shuddering at the thought of a certain green-haired junior. "It scares some people, and it's annoying for the most part. If they knew how to assert themselves properly, they wouldn't even need to raise their voice so much." Rich words coming from a wallflower?

Chandani Kumar

"How do I put it..." She put a finger to her chin. "It irks me when I see someone's homework, and it's obvious that they didn't put a lot of effort into finishing it. Of course everyone has their circumstances, but certain professors put a percentage of their students' homework performance in their grade, and it's such a shame that some students aren't able to get easy full marks for that."

Zhang Xue Mei

"I hate it when people underestimate me," she shakes her head with a sigh. "When people think I can't win that chess game, or ace that test, or finish fixing that machine. Okay, maybe that last one isn't so far-fetched. But still! Have a little faith in me, geez."

Emile Briar

"Broken furniture," he decides with a nod. "I know that buying and replacing furniture must be quite the hassle, but is that really a valid excuse to drag things out when people could get hurt?" He then shakes his head with a sigh. "Some people can be so inconsiderate."

24. What would you consider your main love language?

Aurora Puerstella

"Gift giving, I guess," Aurora answers with a shrug. "I like shopping, and usually have a bunch of knick-knacks on me that I'm willing to give away to my friends."

Slyvan Marwood

"Quality time, I think," Slyvan smiled. "I love spending time with the people I care about, no matter what they're doing. It's even better when they're showing me what they like, and vice versa. I love to connect with them that way."

Zhang Xue Mei

"I don't know much about love languages," Xue Mei tilts her head with a thoughtful hum. "But I'd say my main one is...acts of service. That's what its called, right?"

The interviewer nods affirmatively, and she continues.

"I've always been a helpful one. My whole neighborhood would be inclined to agree with me," she nodded. "My parents were very busy when I was a kid, and I tried to lessen their burden whenever I could. That's just how I show my affection, I guess."

Chandani Kumar

"Physical touch!" She answers confidently with a laugh. "I'm actually very clingy, but most people don't realize it because I try to keep my displays of affection small. Like holding onto my sister's arm when we're walking down the street, or putting my head on Irene's shoulder when I'm sleepy. Nothing that showy like big hugs or anything."

Emile Briar

"My, that's a rather interesting question to ask in an interview," Emile winked at the interviewer. "And who will be reading this exactly?"

He chuckled after a bit of silence, waving his hand dismissively. "I jest, I jest. Don't worry! I'll answer the question."
