The Beautiful People Link Up

Beautiful People is back! Thanks so much Cait and Sky! I'm excited to be joining in for the first time! I've been dying to try it out! I think it will be fun and really helpful as a writer! For those of you that don't know, Beautiful People is a meme designed to help writers learn more about their characters. The hosts (that'd be Sky @ Further Up and Further In, and Cait @ The Notebook Sisters) will give you 10 interview questions for you to answer on your own blogs. It's open all month and starts on the fifth of every month!  
(I answered them as my character. She is brand new and doesn't  have a name or picture to go with her yet.)

This month's questions:
1) What’s their favourite food? (Bonus: favourite flavour of chocolate!)
I eat pretty much anything, I really like pepperoni pizza though, when it's nice and hot and the cheese is all gooey and stringy...mmmm... 

I only eat dark chocolate that is as dark and bitter as I can find it. *grins*
2) What do they absolutely hate?
Ugh, those annoying posh people with the big egos, always throwing their money around carelessly. They act like everyone else and everything is the scum of the Earth!
3) What do they enjoy learning about?
My favorite subject in school was always biology. I love nature and the life sciences. The island is filled with lush plant life and amazing wildlife. I love living their because I never run out of places to explore and things to study.
4) Who is the most influential person in their life?
I have parents that are around, but I'm not super close to them. I also have a little sister, but I'm  only close with her sometimes, we are very different. I'm very close with one of the shop owners in town, her name is Miss Malu. She is like a mother to me and has definitely made me who I am today. 
5) What is their childhood fear?
I didn't really have any fears. I didn't believe in monsters and I was never scared of the dark, but I guess for a while I was really scared my dad would leave us. It happened to one of my friends and I thought it would happen to us too.
6) What is something they have always secretly dreamed of doing, but thought impossible?
I've always wanted to swim with sea turtles hanging on to one and riding on it's shell for as far as it can carry me.
7) What is something he is impractically afraid of?
Know one really knows this, because I refuse to tell even my family, but I won't go anywhere near water. 
8) Are they a night owl or morning person?
I'm a weird blend of both. I like to stay up late but no matter what I'm always up at six-o-clock on the dot. 
9) Do they say everything that pops into their head, or leave a lot unsaid?
I hate those people that don't have a filter and just spill out thoughts all over the place! It's so aggravating, I mean how hard is it to think before you open your mouth? It only takes a second! I'm not close to a lot of people and I'm pretty introverted so I guess I'm one of those quiet people that leaves a lot unsaid, but if you get me fired up about something I'm going to speak my mind.  
10) What are their nervous habits?
I don't have any... *tugs on braid*

(Sorry about the weird formatting. Blogger is being finicky and has decided to hate me.)
