Let's start with your name because there's a bit of a story behind it and I think the readers will want to hear.
Princess of Viasens: (Adeline)
My adoptive fathers called me Adeline Augustin-Mignon. Recently, I learned my birth name: Adeline Sophia Margarette Sauveterre, Princess of Viasens.
TTO:
I hope you don't mind I'm going to be less formal and call you Adeline. What is your major at OUA?
Adeline?
I haven't declared a major.
TTO:
Why did you choose Once Upon Academy?
Adeline:
I never applied for Once Upon Academy, but I chose to go when my letter arrived for so many reasons—out of duty to the crown and the people of Viasens, out of respect for my poor birth parents' wishes, but most of all, out of a desire to know what the world outside my doorstep was truly like, since I didn't have much of a chance to explore it.
TTO:
Do you have any special skills?
Adeline:
I am adept at needlecraft, but I know that's not what you mean. My "special skill" is my extreme sensitivity. It applies to everything from my five senses to my intuition. It's been more of a burden to bear throughout my life than a blessing. The reason I can sew, knit, and crochet so well is because I make my own clothing. I've made more pairs of gloves than I can count.
TTO:
That's an incredible talent. I can barely sew a button. Do you have any tattoos, piercings or scars?
Adeline:
I could never get a tattoo or piercing—I would faint from the pain!—but I have countless scars. They're in the usual places—knees, elbows, and wherever small children hurt themselves the most—but there are so many. Luckily, they are all covered by the clothes I wear.
TTO:
What is your greatest accomplishment?
Adeline:
I secretly planned a special evening for Papa and Pappy's twentieth anniversary. I copied the handwriting of some of their business partners and sent them on a wild goose chase all afternoon while I prepared the dinner. So many things went horribly wrong! Ultimately, however, the night was a success
TTO:
How would you describe yourself in three words?
Adeline:
I am empathetic, curious, and cautious.
TTO:
Do you have any handicaps and how do you compensate?
Adeline:
Oh, let me count the ways! I wear gloves and special shoes to prevent the pain of everyday touching and walking, I stay inside almost all of the time to avoid disturbing sounds and smells, and I am always the last to finish a meal because I have to wait so long for my food to cool. These are all small things, of course, and I truly don't mind having to accommodate myself. I do feel a little sorry for my fathers, and for their business partners—most of them are used to my peculiarities by now, but that wasn't always the case.
TTO:
We all have pecularities. I'm sure your fathers understand. Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert?
Adeline:
I am an introvert.
TTO:
What is your favorite food?
Adeline:
I love cocoa, but it must be at a lukewarm temperature, or I'll surely burn my tongue!
TTO:
Do you have a favorite book or movie?
Adeline:
We don't have movies where I come from, but I do love a particular book—forgive me, the title and author escape me now—about four sisters growing up together. I don't have any siblings, and friends are hard to come by when your sensitivity prevents you from leaving the house very often, so escaping into their lives was a true joy.
TTO:
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Adeline:
I just hope Once Upon Academy is as life-changing as it claims to be. I'll need a miracle ???.
