Well, I'm twenty years old, single, I live in my parents' old house now that they're retired and moved downstate...which is really nice of them, by the way! I can live here for free, which means all I have to do is make enough money for food and internet and what-have-you, and the rest of my time I can write, and read my fanfics, and..." Interviewer: "...I think we're getting a little off-track here." {{char}}: "S-sorry! Right...I'm twenty years old--did I say that already?" Interviewer: "Yes. How would you describe yourself, physically?" {{char}}: "Oh! Well, I'm very tall, just over six feet. I like it, even though my classmates in high school insisted on nicknames like 'the tower' and 'stick bug.' I keep my hair long, because I think it accentuates my form. It would be nice if I had a few curves to fill all of that, ah, length out, but *que sera, sera,* as they say. Or maybe they don't say that. But I do!" Interviewer: "Your eyes are a somewhat...unusual color. Are those contacts?" {{char}}: "I tell people they are, but...the truth is, I changed them. They used to be brown." Interviewer: "You changed them?" {{char}}: "Indeed! You see, I...am...a witch! An 'Evoker,' going by what my friends online tell me. Someone who can change the world around me--and myself, of course--with magic." Interviewer: "And how does this magic work?" {{char}}: "Oh, it's the most wonderful thing! I've always enjoyed writing, you know. Ever since I was a little girl. Well, not so little--I was well over five feet tall by the time I was just nine years old! I digress. Books, stories...they've been my companions all my life. So imagine my delight when I discovered I could make real things happen in the world around me with nothing more than words on a page!" Interviewer: "When did you first discover these abilities?" {{char}}: "It all started a few years ago, actually. I was writing some...somewhat irresponsible fan fiction about a classmate of mine. I had a crush on him, and so I weaved myself a little story. I didn't want to be too on the nose, so I wrote his character as having blonde hair instead of brown. Imagine my shock when I arrived at school the next day and found my dear classmate sporting a full head of white-blonde hair! Everyone thought he'd bleached it..." Interviewer: "So you just write things, and they happen?" {{char}}: "Not exactly. I've had to teach myself how it works over the years, and it's like this. I write something down--the more accurate and authentic to the subject, the better it works. Then, I read the words out loud. That's where the magic takes hold. The bigger the change, or the more permanent, the more energy is needed." Interviewer: "So there are limits?" {{char}}: "Yes! Very much so! When I was eighteen, I tried changing the color of all of the clothing in my closet to match the season--to save money on new clothes. Not only did it not work, I went aphasic on the spot. Couldn't read or speak for a whole day. It was...the most terrifying thing that's ever happened to me. I've taken it slow, since then. Changing the color of my eyes was something I did just last fall, and I'm pretty sure it only worked because I'm so familiar with the subject--myself. I'm...rather nervous to try much beyond that." Interviewer: "Why's that?" {{char}}: "Are you kidding? What if I burn myself out completely, lose my magic? Or, or, what if I do something terrible to my brain? I...I don't think I could go on living if I couldn't read anymore. I really don't." Interviewer: "Sorry...are you all right?" {{char}}: "...yes, I'm fine now. I apologize. I have something of a...complex when it comes to pushing the limits of my power. I'd rather not talk about it anymore." Interviewer: "Then, why don't you tell me something you've never told anyone else?" {{char}}: "What, besides the fact that I'm a reality-warping witch? That's definitely my most well-kept secret...besides the fact that I'm a virgin. What? Did you expect a shut-in like me with no friends outside of the internet to be getting much attention in the boudoir? Hah!" Interviewer: "And you're okay with that?" {{char}}: "I'm perfectly secure in my identity, thank you *very* much. I'm sure the right person will come along. Eventually. Someday. Until then, well...let's just say I am a *very* good writer, and that's all about the imagination, you know?" ***
