Hope you’re having a lovely day today! I’ve got some questions for you regarding Ethan and Cassie, as well as Maxenna <3

As a music lover, I’m curious about their music taste. If they were in charge of the music anywhere, what would play? What’s in their respective playlists and what are their favorite songs?

Hi Avy,

Love this question because I’m a huge music fan too! This answer is super long. Sorry 😬

Ethan & Cassie:

Cassie has eclectic tastes and enjoys music that tells a story or something she can dance to. She enjoys Top 40, pop and indie music, as well as oldies. “Dream A Little Dream” is their song and she’ll always want to dance when it comes on. Ethan sometimes plays that song because he knows she cannot resist.

Her favorite musicians include The Black Keys, Lana Del Rey, Kelly Clarkson, Christina Perri, Imagine Dragons, and Matt Nathanson, among others. Ethan cannot stand when she plays Matt Nathanson’s “Come On Get Higher” because that was her song with her ex, Jackson. She loves the song though and will listen to it with headphones on out of respect for his wishes. (Except when he rubs Nigella in her face; then she’s blasting that song to annoy him!)

Her running playlist is designed to keep her pumped up for a 5-mile run, so it’s a mix of rock, dance and pop.

Ethan listens to opera and classical symphonies for the most part, much to Cassie’s dismay who is trying to educate him on more recent music. Like her though he enjoys oldies and jazz standards like Frank Sinatra, Sam Cooke and Annie Lennox, particularly when he’s cooking in the kitchen or wants to dance with Cassie.

When he was younger, he was into rock and post-grunge. One of his favorite bands in his teens and through college was Green Day. He even went to their concerts and still has a t-shirt.

Max & Sienna:

In my background for Sienna, she grew up in New Orleans and therefore was exposed to jazz and blues from an early age. When she’s baking her playlist is primarily composed of jazz, blues and soul music with songs from artists like Marc Broussard, Joe Bonamassa, B.B. King, Bonnie Rait, and Keb’Mo, among others.

Like Cassie, she listens to Top 40 and pop songs too, especially something fun to dance to when they go clubbing or at weddings. When they lived together, they would put on these songs and just dance in the living room or go out on the town. After she got married, the tradition continued whenever Cassie would visit, often dragging Max along with them. (Not that he minds 😄)

Max is not a huge fan of pop music, but he can tolerate it (with his sister and then his wife, he has no choice 😂). He enjoys classic rock, but his favorite genre is Blues with some Jazz thrown in. His playlists are full of established and emerging artists such as B.B. King, Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, Gráinne Duffy, Susan Tedeschi, Eric Clapton, and Eva Cassidy, among others.

Since, Sienna and Max both love blues music their favorite activity (well, second favorite 😏) is to spend an evening at the blues club in their Georgetown neighborhood. They love dancing together, at home, as well as hitting night clubs if the mood strikes. So, music is a huge part of their lives.

Here’s a look at both couple’s wedding songs.

Here it is: my lengthy analysis of Season 6. This started as a quick response in another thread, but got a lot longer than I anticipated because ADHD brain decided to hyperfocus. Sorrynotsorry. Also, SPOILERS FOR SEASON 6 obviously. (and if you saw it on reddit, don’t worry, that was me too, no one is plagiarizing anyone.)

So a friend and I went on a road trip together last weekend, and on the way to our destination, we gave S6 a first listen. On the way back, we started a chronological listen (Spotify playlist can be found here.) and came to the end of S6 just as we got home. Since then, my mind won’t let it go, so here’s my analysis and thoughts.

First listen, we had all kinds of theories. Every other season so far has built the world, we’ve heard from politicians trying to keep Society together and the Cradle as they oppose the Society. We’ve had artists suspected of subterfuge be tricked into relationships with Society spies and museum guides explaining the politics at large and answering some of the questions left by the cassettes from the Institute. We, like so many of you, went into this season expecting another story to bring us world building on that high level, that world-wide, birds-eye view into the workings of this alternate timeline. We thought at first, Clíodhna is an experiment for the Institute, established only 10 years prior. The whispers and footsteps are her security nurse, and the time she loses on the road is because that’s when they pull her in to have her memories recalibrated. The reason she was being recalibrated is that she was too interested in family, but hadn’t knowingly contacted a sibling or family member like Oleta had, so they didn’t necessarily need to put her in the Institute. HOWEVER, obviously in a Society trying to eliminate familial bonds, someone so obsessed with families isn’t a good thing, so they were experimenting on her to see if they could do more subtle memory control and wipe the desire from her without the need to Institutionalize. We had it all figured out.

Then obviously, we had the reveal, which is that there was no reveal. My friend suggested maybe it is just the Fae fucking with her, as Gráinne said. Ireland is famous for that, after all. As much as I can vibe with that on a personal and even real-world level, I didn’t want a supernatural explanation for things in this world. Sure, not everything needs to have an Important World Building Explanation, but I wanted something that wasn’t supernatural. It took me quite a while to figure out why I was so adamantly against the supernatural aspect, normally I eat that stuff up. To me, Within the Wires is a very human story. Humans caused the Great Reckoning (at least the war part of it). Humans reacted to it. Humans created the New Society to avoid that level of tragedy ever happening again. Humans (granted, with corporate goals, but humans nonetheless) created the Institute to experiment on and recalibrate other humans. If we introduce supernatural elements, we lose that human influence, and in turn, begin to lose meaning. We can now justify the Institute, the spying, the subterfuge, all of the bad, as being pushed into being by some Other Being, a god, a spirit, whatever. If there are supernatural forces in this world, then the good, the bad, and the ugly are arguably not human anymore.

We were finally we able to move on by just saying, sure, this is a person living in the Society, with that upbringing, and not everything has major importance. There are people who are neither for nor against the Society, who are just living their lives as they always have, explanations be damned. It didn’t sit particularly well with either of us since we still didn’t have a good explanation for the experiences, but it was 1am and we still had a few hours left to go and needed to calm down about it.

Three days later, we’re on the road home and have another 11 hours to kill (ok, 10 by the time we got through the obligatory road trip music), so we started our chronological listen. We considered skipping Season 6 since it was still so fresh in our heads, but ultimately, we were quite curious and excited to see how our perceptions and ideas changed, knowing how it ended.

This friend and I met in college as psychology majors. Between having experienced it ourselves and learning about it in a more clinical sense, everything Clíodhna experiences has one simple explanation: sleep deprivation. On average, at 36 hours with no sleep, you start hallucinating. Not long after that, your body begins shutting down. Now, that’s with no sleep whatsoever, and everyone has their own limits within that. Getting a little bit of sleep can prolong the ill effects, but only so much. Clíodhna has presumably had some sleep before she arrived in Ballinroche, but she’s already under a lot of stress, with a failing relationship and a new job to worry about. I think we can safely assume that any sleep she’s had for the week or more leading up to her arrival wasn’t the good, restful sleep we need to properly function. Then she leaves at 6am to travel. That’s when she leaves. When did she get up? We don’t have much of a sense of her morning routing, but let’s say most people average an hour to get themselves ready. So, she’s been up since 5. Waking up that early, even if you’re a morning person, after not great sleep? We’re off to a bad start here.

Once she gets to Ballinroche, it’s her first day in the new town. She mentions that after leaving the café/pub, she did a quick circuit around town to get her bearings for all the places Maria had shared. That “quick circuit” probably took longer than she thought. She mentions hearing the church bells chime 9 as she’s leaving town, but be honest with me, who among us has never lost count of a clock’s chimes? Anything past 6 and I’m lost. And I’ve never been able to follow all the half-hour chimes. Granted, I can’t apply all of my own experiences to this character, but I’m willing to bet there isn’t a single person out there who keeps perfect track of the chimes every single time. Anyway, now she’s on the road, already later than she thinks it is.

I don’t know about any of you, but there have been times I’ve been driving tired where the only reason I notice I’ve dropped my speed by 20 mph is because of the cars around me. We’ve established that the only thing on the road from town to Gráinne’s house, is, in fact, Gráinne’s house. There is presumably no one else on the road. No way for a sleep deprived mind to realize the car is barely moving. Additionally, who remembers that MythBusters episode about impaired driving? Microsleep is a dangerous thing and can happen with very little deprivation. And she’s the only one on the road, so there’s no one to get upset or pass her by if she slows down whether because she’s not noticing, or simply to take in the scenery. Sure, she’s got places to be, but that doesn’t ever stop us from enjoying new scenery. Heck, how many of us slow down to take in scenery we’ve seen dozens or hundreds of times? So between leaving town later than she thought, being tired and not noticing how slow she’s going, and slowing down to take in her surroundings? No wonder she was late.

Now we’re finally at the house and all is well, but it’s the first night in a new environment. A new bed, new sounds, new light levels. You get used to sleeping with things a certain way, and when you change any one of them, it gets a lot harder to sleep. Throw in her recounting of a spooky story from her childhood freaking her out, and you’ve got a recipe for terrible sleep, adding to the deprivation. At this point, one night of not-great sleep, and one night of almost no sleep, and we’re on track for that 36-hour stat. Am I overanalyzing episode 1? Perhaps. Do I still think it fits my theory? Absolutely. Let’s move on, it gets much simpler from here.

We know from Season 2 and Claudia Atieno’s story that those born before or during the Great Reckoning were “encouraged” to abandon their familial bonds. Given the lengths we know they’ll go to in order to enforce their new rules, and based on Claudia’s experiences in Season 2, we can safely assume this wasn’t a friendly suggestion.

When the storm hits and Gráinne mentions her brother Oisín being afraid of storms, it’s a very natural conversational progression. But when Clíodhna presses the issue about her family and her brother, it reminds Gráinne that she’s not supposed to acknowledge her family, so she clams up. We see this happen a few times, the conversation progresses naturally, and Gráinne mentions a family member. Clíodhna asks a pointed question that breaks the flow, which reminds Gráinne that this is a forbidden topic and she gets cagey. To Clíodhna’s sleep-deprived mind, this is suspicious, but the reality is more that Gráinne doesn’t know how to tell Clíodhna that she can’t talk about it. People born before the Reckoning and the Age 10 laws weren’t exactly given a handbook on how to deal with younger folks asking questions.

The window with the rotted boards below it and the fresh boards in the shed? She went into town to buy the boards, sure (also, a storm hitting one place and another place 15 miles away got nothing? Yeah, not uncommon.), but then she never put them up. She went to the shed, found a hammer and nails, and then got distracted. Her memory is fucking with her because she hasn’t gotten much sleep. She went into town to get the boards, so of course she put them up, why wouldn’t she? The next day when she goes to board up the newly broken window (was it really newly broken? Or had she created a false memory? Maybe it was always broken and she didn’t notice.), everything she prepared yesterday is ready for her. The rotten boards below the window are from a previous repair years ago. We don’t know how long Gráinne’s been alone at this point, and if a window is broken in a room she doesn’t use, why would she notice the boards are gone?

That brings me to the phone line. At one point a few days after the storm, someone tells her the phone lines are underground. That’s why the council is suspicious about it being out by the storm. Not because they don’t believe the storm happened, but because even if it did, it can’t knock out underground phone lines. Clíodhna is just so out of it, she probably dialed a wrong number or got a busy signal and thought that meant the line was out. She pushed the council so hard about it though, they just agreed to send someone out to placate her. When Gráinne tells Clíodhna that it’s fixed, Gráinne doesn’t know the answer to any of Clíodhna’s questions. This is actually a really smart move on Gráinne’s part. She’s recognized that Clíodhna is slipping into madness but probably hasn’t figured out the cause quite yet. Better to give no information than the wrong information. Just accept that it’s fixed. That’s all that matters. Because it was never broken in the first place.

In episode 10, we start with the dream. The dream that made Clíodhna think she had it all figured out. She sees the boy, who she “knows” to be named Oisín. He gives her a “memory” of Gráinne abandoning him. But none of this is new information. She was given the name Oisín the morning after the storm. It didn’t come out of her dream. Our brains are also notoriously bad at making up faces, everyone you’ve ever seen in a dream is someone you’ve seen in real life, if you don’t recognize someone, it’s probably a face you saw in passing. By the time Clíodhna has her first dream about the boy, we know she’s been looking through photos and albums. She didn’t know who or what she was looking for yet, so nothing stuck out to her, but she’d seen family portraits. She’d seen him already, she just didn’t remember. Additionally, she got it in her head that he was a child born out of wedlock to Gráinne, passed off as a brother before he died or was killed. With nothing to refute that claim, her dreaming mind made it all fit with the abandoning of the boy.

Then we hear what Gráinne had to say. Gráinne has almost definitely figured out that the reason for Cliodnha’s madness is lack of sleep, but even if she hasn’t figured that out, she knows she needs to get the girl off her one-track train of thought. She just clears up Clíodhna’s misconceptions about who the boy is, and then gently tells her not to worry. There are things in this world we can’t comprehend. Things older than us that were here first, why do you think you have a right to know? This is perfectly in line with Irish beliefs and is absolutely a gentle way to tell Clíodhna to let it go. Gráinne doesn’t deny the things Cliodnha’s experienced. She doesn’t tell the poor girl she’s wrong. Denying the experiences would only exacerbate the suspicions, Clíodhna is so sure everything has been real that outright denial would only serve to strengthen her sense that something is wrong. So instead, Gráinne simply straightens out the facts and fills in the blanks, then gives her a perfectly acceptable reason for it all. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter why Clíodhna is having these thoughts and experiences. All that matters is if she stops worrying, stops stressing herself out, she’ll be able to start sleeping. If she starts sleeping, she’ll stop hallucinating and start healing. Once she’s back to her senses, they can talk about what was or wasn’t real.

So. How does this make the season build the world? Well, I still maintain what I concluded after my first listen: this is just a person living in this New Society. She’s grown up in a childhood center, she’s only read about families in books. A story about a person living their normal day-to-day life at an office job wouldn’t be a compelling story, but it is important to know that the vast majority of people are just trying to live their lives. Not everyone is fighting for or against Society. I think this season toes the line between giving us a compelling story and showing us that people are first and foremost just people.

Someone in another post compared this season to a Harry Potter story about a muggle in an office job. Much as I am loathe to talk about JKR’s work given her… track record, it’s a story we all know, so whatever. I would like to counter with this: it’s more like a random Hufflepuff just trying to go to school and learn. Out of how many hundreds of students at the school, how many are involved in the big plot, like six? What about the rest of them? They’re there, they’re doing their thing, they’re just not directly involved with whatever nonsense Harry’s up to this year. For a story like Harry Potter, it’s not important that we know this background Hufflepuff’s story. That world isn’t very far removed from ours, so the simple mention that they exist, even as a monolithic “other students” comment, is enough for us to understand they’re an everyman. In a story like Within the Wires, where the world has diverged so vastly from ours, and every story we’ve gotten is someone directly involved with the struggle, it’s easy to forget that some people just want to exist. The everyman does still exist, they just look a little different.

I also like the implication that the New Society is a place where, if your career path isn’t working out for you, you can simply get new training and switch paths. Clíodhna went from being a mechanic (a damn good one too, if we’re to believe her aside about that if she had kept with it, she’d have her own garage by now) to being a nurse, just because she thought it would be a better application of her skills. As someone who spent 8 years struggling through college for a degree I’m only tangentially using, that’s kind of a nice thought.

But if I’m being honest, the main reason I dove this deep into this analysis is what I’ve already talked about: that I desperately didn’t want the supernatural to explain the weird things. I was fine after the first listen with it just being a story of some random person living their life in this society, no Institute manipulating them, no girlfriend spying on them, no government espionage scandal, just a person, doing their thing. What I couldn’t accept was that it was the Fae or anything else supernatural or magical. Did I want a New Society reason for Clíodhna’s madness? Sure, of course I did. But I’m okay with there not being one, because in real life, not everything has meaning. To bring in Season 2 one more time, sometimes a bowl of fruit is just a well-painted bowl of fruit.

My friend also had a theory that adds to this: that Clíodhna was a child-bearer who couldn’t let go of her child. We know from Michael that there is very little support for people after birth. We’re only 12 years past when we learn that, and we know bureaucracy is still slow based on the things he said to Amy about the institute. We both see no reason to think that post-partum support has improved. So, this is also a post-partum psychotic break, and why she gets so fixated on the child. Perhaps they finally got the child away from her by telling her it died, giving her the fixation on the dead child.

Personally, I don’t see the need for any further justification. A sleep-deprived and stressed-out mind will latch on to whatever it can and spiral, but I wanted to include it here because it’s an interesting extra layer.

TL;DR: Clíodhna is just an average person living her life, but sleep deprived as FUCK and it’s causing her to hallucinate and generally go mad.

Miracleofsound has two more Celtic songs you might like Gráinne Mhaol Queen Of Pirates and Sirona. He has plenty of other great songs but they're mostly video game and tv inspired

I’ve bought a lot of his songs! He’s one of my favorite independent artists. I have both of those, and a lot of his video game and tv songs!

16. T.M. Revolution - Flags (this was a fucking IMPOSSIBLE choice to make. There are SO MANY GOOD TM REVOLUTION SONGS and I’m limiting myself to freaking 1. Ya’ll are damn lucky)

17. Starset - My Demons

18. EQUILIBRIUM - Blut Im Auge (its all in german and i dont understand a word but i still fucking love it. I dont care)

24. Hammerfall - Bloodbound (one per artist rises its head again and gives me the finger. So many good songs, so hard to pick only one)

25. Rhapsody of Fire - March of the Swordmaster (you. have. no. idea. how hard it was to pick just *one* rhapsody of fire song. And you know what? fuck you i’m cheating a little. Just go listen to their entire discography. This is their spotify page.)

26. Turilli / Lione Rhapsody - Fast Radio Burst (Not cheating. Its not Rhapsody of Fire. Even if it has the two main components of Rhapsody of Fire that made me fall in love with the band. #FuckYouFightMe)

27. Sabaton - Shiroyama (One per artist, and this one will never not give me chills.)

28. Beast in Black - Repentless (Too hard to choose. Only two albums and they are all fucking amazing songs @.@) I dont have anyone to tag, idk WHO to tag. So i guess @ me if you wanted to be tagged?? just steal it from me

Gilbert, Gascoigne’s Daughter, And Arianna (AKA The “Deserved Way Fucking Better” Gang”) hanging out and drawing

-Gilbert spends a lot of time indoors and I like to think he was an artist before and coming to Yharnam. He can’t get out to do some stuff anymore but he can still draw some cool pictures

-Gráinne/Grace (just my name for Gasc’s daughter) loves drawing her dad fighting stuff because he is very cool and good at his job

-Arianna isn’t the best at drawing but she tries

The Dobhar-chú is an aquatic cryptid known throughout Ireland. Known as the "water hound," it is described as half dog, half fish, and is often depicted like an otter.

The Dobhar-chú is known to be a vicious hunter, and several stories exist of it attacking and killing people. A gravestone in Conwall cemetery in Glenade, County Leitrim memorialises a woman named Gráinne, who was supposedly killed by the Dobhar-chú in the 17th century. More recently, in 2003, the Irish artist Sean Corcoran and his wife encountered the creature on Omey Island in Connemara, County Galway.

tagged by: @mikinikki thank you for believing my art deserves a tag meme lol

tagging: @proserpine-in-phases @honeypunks @graveyardshiftreyes @leok-rogue and @shesgonnachangetheworld (if you want) - also anyone else that wants to do this

rules: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 favorite works you’ve created this year (fics, art, edits, etc!) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you’ve brought into the world in 2017. tag as many writers/artists/etc as you want (fan or original!) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works.

(* I honestly just pulled my most recent art, so feel free to just put your most recent or your best. You don’t have to stick to 2017 if you don’t want to)

an old god rises My latest art. I’m really happy with this and it inspires me to make more art, whether for Ancient Magus Bride or just more on old gods and faeries

skyrim oc: cordaelia (3/4 body): i really really like how this came out, it really captures my dragonborn, and it inspires me to want to create more fanart of Cordaelia and dream up headcanons and stories for her. Also side note, upon reflection sometimes I wonder if I should’ve named her Gráinne after Grace O’Malley, the irish pirate. That would be awesome.

she was beautiful once: i like how this drawing of Medusa came out. I liked the colors, drawing her snake hair, and drawing her face because it’s different than the normal face shapes i draw. i was pushing myself to do something different

say apple: a redraw i did of one of my older fanarts of Caroline from Portal. I see a lot of mistakes and things I can fix, but I also like the theme and how it came out. I’ll probably do another redraw again once I skill up my art because it’s fascinating and awful to think about the process of Caroline becoming GLaDOS.

FF7 Aerith: a redraw i did of a game screenshot. it doesn’t quite look exactly like the screenshot, but I really like how the coloring, light, and expression of her eyes came out.

Thank you for tagging me and let’s spread some positivity and self-love out there!

Our Reader

Okay! So here we have a personality thing about Y/n the reader. The questions are below.

Enjoy!

1. Her full name in Fiánn Gráinne Trinket Ní Mháille. Its pronounced (Fee-aw-n) 2 syllables. (Gr-aw-n-ya) 2 syllables. Trinket (rhymes with drink it) and Ní Mháille, her surname. (Knee-v-all-ya). Her first name is after Na Fianna, a legendary band of Irish Warriors, who were the toughest, bravest, strongest and most intelligent. They were the eleite. Trinket, after one of the Lost Boys, Tootles, Pockets and Tinkerbell. And her surname was her mother's.

2. She was born 20th October 1995, but the year does change with the story, and is a libra. But she is almost the opposite of the stereotypes.

3. She has a really high tolerance for alcohol, and has to be on vodka and strong shots for hours for her to get drunk. Also, doesn't get hangovers and always shows that off when her friends are dying and she's up at 8 a.m making a full fried breakfast.

4. Strengths: is the best fighter in all of Auradon, and doesn't ever lose her cool, not even a blush. really good at comebacks. Also, zero fuck giving. A real tomboy too.

Weaknesses: she's unpredictable, and down right dangerous. She has trust issues, and has a hard time opening up. And doesn't understand feelings.

5. She loves anything roasted over an open fire. Like what they'd make in Neverland. All Neverland foods too, because it's whatever you want, any kind. Also, bone soup. What, she's a pirate?!

6. She would be wrath. My reader is always ready to kill, or maybe just fight depending on whether she's from Auradon or the Isle.

7. She has her father, whom she hates the most, but the lost boys and her friends are more family. She also holds a special place in her heart for her mother, and a deep respect for all female captains. Also, she prides herself for being like her mother, intelligent, strong, authoritive, bold and badass.

8. Her body is really small, mostly from lack of food as a child. She has a... Princess figure. She's really small and I imagine her with a tiny waist, with baggy/boys clothes. But, I usually don't bring size into my fics, so that's readers preferance.

9. She's afraid of nothing, for she's been through hell. Sometimes, she loses confidence, and doubts herself, but always pretends she's still got it, and keeps going. Her father is someone she would rather not face, but always hopes he's proud. (He never is.) Oh, and aeroplanes freak her out.

10. Fiánn is actually allergic to cat and dog hair, so shes always stayed away long enough to not get attached.

11. Warrior, realist, atheist, crazy, and somewhat of a bitch, but the good kind.

12. If she was suddenly handed a puppy, she'd quickly and carefully put it down and get some allergy pills. Also, she'd stay the fuck away from it.

13. Her reaction would depend. But she'd always need a second to understand. If it's a friend, a friendly hug back. If it's someone who she doesn't know/like, she'd punch them. If it's a romantic partner (Harry) she could tell imidiatly and she'd hug back. More than likely with hands getting too friendly. (cough cough, Harry, cough cough)

14. Her biggest secret is usually her feelings. If she's feeling bad, she won't say it. If she's sad, won't say. If she's happy, she dances randomly.

15. She's a carefree person, so she doesn't have pet peeves, but hates people who gossip to spread rumours. And girly people, but she'll give them a chance.

16. She doesn't really care. She'll eat the pineapple pizza, but will go straight to pepperoni.

17. It does depend, but usually a full 9-10 hours a night. But she has pulled all nighters.

18. If she had a superpower, it would be to control the sea. Or, if she could end child abuse, child neglect, rasism, and homophobia, she'd do it in a heart beat.

19. She doesn't collect items, but she had a great memory, especially of feelings or events, even just laying in someone's arms. But if your horrible, she'll remember that too.

20. She'd like bands like dua lipa, the chainsmokers, coldplay and SEO Linn (they make songs in Gaelic), but loves artists like Gnash and Drake. Also, the Peter Pan soundtrack. Also, she constantly sings "drink up me hearties". And all pirate songs and shanties.

21. She speaks 2 languages fluently, English and Irish Gaelic. Also, some Of the American Indians tribe language, as she grew up in Neverland.

22. When she's sad, she dances, and does something shes good at or she loves, like Taekwondo, or singing. Or being with Harry or friends.

23. She doesn't snore, but she does breathe in a sighing way. You can tell by her breathing when she's awake and when she's asleep.

24. Her voice is like Sabrina Carpenters, with an Irish (Kildare) accent.

25. I feel that she would survive a zombie apocalypse, and probably kill most of the zombies. Shes a warrior, and won't go down without a fight anyhow.

That's it! I hope you know our Reader a little better now.

<3 R

xoxo
