Answer the following questions as your character. If your character would refuse to answer, have them respond how they would naturally, but include internal dialogue in either prose or brackets (your choice) with their thoughts on it.


Q1: You've been stranded on a desert island with only one standard-size travel suitcase. If you could only have 3 items in that suitcase, what would you want those items to be and why?

Oh that's so hard! Are people items? Because if people are items I would want my friend Fakir to come! I guess people really aren't items though are they? Um okay, not people. I'd like my dancing shoes, for sure. Wait, that wouldn't help me get off an island, would it? If I'm trying to escape the island I would like something that helps me swim farther! Also food and water? But if it's just a vacation my dancing shoes, pictures of my friends, and changes of clothes. Is it for sure not allowed to be people because Fakir would know the sorts of things we should bring. Also I'd want my friends. I don't think I answered this right.


Q2: Tell us about a defining event in your life that you think influenced who you are today.

[She hesitates before answering, laughing nervously.]

I don't really need to keep secrets, do I? I don't know why I think I have to! So, um, see I'm actually a duck and my defining moment is when I saw Mytho, he's a prince, and he seemed so sad. All I wanted to do was make him happy, and then I got the chance to be a human and help him regain his heart! Being human is so nice. I like running and I like hands, they're so useful, and people are really interesting. While the man who made me Princess Tutu is not a good human, well, I'm still glad he did because we made it all okay in the end. But being human let me help more! I was just a duck in a pond, I had no dreams or future really. Then I went back to that. But I chose that, so it was okay, it really was. [It sounds more like she's trying to convince herself of that.]

Q3: What does family mean to you and who do you consider a part of your family?

I don't have a real family. I know I must have had parents but I don't remember them, I've been alone as long as I can remember. Or! I was but then I met Mytho and my friends Lilie and Pike, they looked out for me. And then there's Rue and Fakir, so they're my family I guess. The only people who have felt like family. I think it's good when you can choose your own, you know? Then it comes from a place of true love.


Q4: Tell me about a time you were involved in a personal conflict (not a physical fight). What would you do differently to resolve it?

I think all the conflict with Fakir I wish was done differently in the start? We just started out really hating each other and thinking the worst of each other and he was such a big jerk but he's not really. We were both trying to do what we thought was best, and well we both thought we were doing it the best way. It was only when we started working together that we did better so! I think the answer is working together, partnering up with people earlier, not doing everything on my own. Being honest about what's going on too, I was so afraid of people finding out the truth about me, but I don't know why. Not thinking I knew everything about the other person. I know now that everyone does have their reasons for doing things, even if I can't understand them right away.


Q5: Do you have any regrets? If so, what are the biggest ones? If not, what is something you wish you had gotten to do back home?

[She pauses before she smiles a little too brightly and shakes her head.]

No regrets!

[It would be wrong to say I regretted giving the shard back to Mytho, right? It would be really wrong. Because then he got to be himself and save Rue and go back to his story and they were so happy. I did the right thing! And Fakir's my friend, he took care of me as a duck so I wasn't alone. But it means that I could never see my friends again and I couldn't talk to him, I could only quack. We couldn't fight or laugh or be together, I'd only be just a duck who he felt responsible for. If I hadn't given up the pendant everything would've been wrong anyway, so I didn't have a real choice. I'm a duck, that's what I am.

It would've been nice to graduate from the dancing school though, right? It would've been nice to become a prima ballerina. What if I'd been able to be an upperclassman and all the younger kids would look up to me? That would be nice. And maybe Fakir and I could ....

No, I can't think this way. When I leave this place I will go back to who I am and that's that. I can't obsess over something I can't change. Oh I wish Fakir was here. I wish ....]

Everything turned out how it was supposed to.
