Of course not! I’m against magic, not those who have to live with it and use it. I’m against magic because all it has ever done for me is endanger me and/or my loved ones. Trust me, that’s enough to get anyone’s goat and no, Roherum, you can look up the meaning of that phrase for yourself. I’m not telling you everything. I would remind you also that the Kingdom has been vehemently anti-human, which Mother tells me has a lot to do with your past and which funnily enough I can understand, but as you can see it’s not one-way traffic here, is it?
What hobbies do you enjoy on Earth? Are there any hobbies you think you could take up were you to live permanently in the magical world?
I love reading, photography (digital), visiting historic buildings and humorous fantasy. I only wish I had more time to enjoy these things but know full well the one wish no magical being can grant themselves is to tamper with the nature of time. I can see the point of that, it means history cannot be rewritten, but it can be frustrating that I can’t even use my magic to give me a bit of extra free time. Sure I can blast dragons and foul fiends to the next world but that’s not really what I want to be doing! There’s no way I’d live permanently in your world, Roherum, but had I no choice, I think I would focus on becoming a top notch flyer.
If you could interview anyone in history who would it be?
Lazarus! Given what Mother’s dropped me in, I’d like to interview Queen Gwendolyn and ask her why she was such an idiot bringing humans into her world because she set the precedent her dodgy descendant is following now. The only difference is Roxannadrell uses kidnapping instead. Had Gwendolyn any idea at all of what she might be unleashing?
What is the single thing you regret most?
Ever discovering Wes and Stan in my loft! Ever listening to that bloody pigeon telling me to look in my loft. When I first heard odd things talking to me, I should’ve suggested to Paul we move right away at once.
What would you say was your greatest strength?
The ability to face up to things without becoming hysterical, which is just as well given what Mother came out with! I have a strong sense of justice and fair play too. I know Mother would say she has that too but unlike her I go out of my way not to drop people in it. And before you ask me, Roherum, if I’m feeling a bit miffed with Mother still, well too right I am!
If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?
I admit I do have a tendency to whinge (I’m usually stressed out when I do) so that could go. I’d really love to just be an ordinary human being. I can live without the magical world and I know damn well they can equally live just as well without me. I’d like more time as I always seem to be rushing around. I’d like to slow down a bit, without using magic.
