1. Scene(s) that made you want to throw your book (for whatever reason)? 

Tyrion's second Trial by Combat scene. That Oberyn Martell x Gregor Clegane fight was one of the most awful experiences of my life while reading a book. I remember that I had to put the book down after every one or two sentences, I was that scared. The ending was also horrible for me.

2. 5 favourite characters? 

Sansa Stark, Daenerys Targaryen, Arya Stark, Jon Snow and Bran Stark. I guess I just like the Stark kids a lot?

3. 5 least favourite characters? 

Ramsay Snow, Tywin Lannister, Randyll Tarly, Gregor Clegane, (Lord) Walder Frey.

4. Which house do you identify most with?

House Nymeros Martell. Especially from Doran's point of view. I get wiled up easily, hot-blooded like most of the family members, but also like Doran, I never react directly. I am much more of a planner. And even though I know vengeance is a vicious cycle, I can't help but want it for Elia and her children.

5. Who would you bend the knee to? 

I would bend the knee to Daenerys Targaryen, especially if she has House Martell at her side. She has the best potential to be a caring and stern leader whom also has an air to her that makes people want to follow. Stannis is a close second, he also has those qualities but the last quality I counted needs work. While Daenerys can inspire loyalty even from afar (if she actually tries to rule people who SHARE her basic values, aka NON-SLAVERS PERHAPS), nearly all the people who are deeply loyal to Stannis are like that because they know him closely. I am not an expert, sure, but I think you must be able to inspire loyalty in your people to be an efficient ruler.

By the way, I'm not claiming Daenerys is perfect for ruling either, she first and foremost needs counsel in any situation. This is why I would love her to be with House Martell and (ideally) Stannis Baratheon.

6. Favourite POV? 

Sansa/Arya (they are so interrelated).

7. A character you find overrated? 

Theon Greyjoy. I know most people who love him love him because of his beautiful "identity arc", and I agree. His arc is beautiful, tragic and haunting. But other than that, I really don't like his character and I don't understand the hype.

8. Where would you most like to live?

Oldtown or anywhere in Dorne. Outside of Westeros: Lys.

9. Favourite pre-plot character? 

I don't really know. I mean, most pre-plot characters are just characters we hear stories about and those stories don't really have much effect on me in regards to "favourite character~". I guess I can say Elia Martell, because I am interested in her the most.

10. Favourite quote(s)? 

"The godswife thought her a child, but children grow, and children learn."

"I rose too high, loved too hard, dared too much. I tried to grasp a star, overreached, and fell."

These are the ones I can think of right now, at the least.

11. A character you’d like to know more about? Lord Varys the Spider! Elia Martell! Ellaria Sand! Mellario of Norvos! Trystane Martell! Gerold Dayne! Sarella Sand! Maester Aemon!

12. Your favourite scene from the series? 

This scene. [A Feast for Crows Spoilers]

13. A change you wish the show hadn’t made from the books. 

All the changes on Catelyn Stark.

14. Which book is your favourite? 

A Storm of Swords. A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons are close seconds.

15. Your theory(ies) on how the series will end. 

I try not to theorize, I just have wishes. If I have to, I would imagine all contenders for ruling would be either dead or too powerless to rule anything because of the winter.
