I had an amazing time talking to Kitty even though we had a bit of an uninvited guest. Asher decided to crash our little party and his arrogance knows no bounds! But, I love arrogant heroes and I am sure you will all love him too!
Thank you so much for joining us today! Please introduce yourself! Tell us who you are and what you do! Are you the main character in the story or a supporting role? What do you do for a living? How old are you?
Kitty: Hi everyone, my name is Kitty Fairlow and I’m the main character from The Constellation Saga. I’m twenty-three and I’m a custodian, kind of a forest guide that tracks criminals and helps the small settlements within a huge woodland.
- Tell us about your story. What is it about and what role do you play?
Kitty: I come from a world called Lucidia, and I recently found out that there are other worlds too. One of them has creatures called Tenebri that live there, they use life energy as a fuel for their magic and have nearly destroyed their own home, so they are trying to take over mine.
My dad fought against them in the past and I’ve inherited a spirit that shared its power with him, my senses are all heightened, I have enhanced dexterity and I can bulls-eye any shot with a bow and arrow. I’ve got a magic bow called Venethos that generates his own arrows too. I’m making it sound like I’m invincible but there are others with spirits like mine, most of them are way more experienced and stronger than me. We’re called Constellations and I’m known as The Archer.
- Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features?
Kitty: I’m really tall, which makes all of me quite distinguishable… I feel like I stand out a lot sometimes.
- Do you have any birthmarks or tattoos?
Kitty: No, a few scars from my work but nothing… Asher what are you doing here?
Asher: Come on, love. We both know who people really wanna hear about.
Kitty: But I’m the main character! Not everything is about you, you know?
Asher: Yeah, but ninety percent of stuff is, figured this would be too.
Kitty: *Sighs* This is Asher, he’s one of the other Constellations. Just make sure you behave, okay?
- Would you ever want to go hang out with your author? If so, what would you do together?
Asher: Teach her to write nicer backstories for her bloody characters.
Kitty: I’d love to hang out with Kay, I think we’d just sit and chat and drink lots of tea together. I’d probably do most of the talking, I don’t like long silences and she’s a good listener so we’d definitely be friends.
- If you could have a super power what would it be, and why?
Kitty: To heal people with a touch, it would be so amazing to be able to take care of the people that I protect. I always seem to be getting injured too, so fast recovery would be very handy!
Asher: Pick kill with a touch, then no-one else gets hurt.
Kitty: How about we keep it light for the interview and discuss your destructive nature another day?
- What is your biggest pet peeve when dealing with others?
Kitty: *Looking at Asher* When people are rude and barge in uninvited. Haha, no really, I think because I hate conflict or falling out, I don’t like when people are argumentative or unaccommodating.
Asher: So, you still mean me?
Kitty: It’s okay, you make up for it in other ways. You did make me a cup of tea earlier!
- What would I love the most about you?
Kitty: Err… I’m quite a nice person.
Asher: Self-sacrificing. Bloody irritating, but you’d do anything for anyone.
Kitty: *blushing* Thank you…
- What would I hate the most about you?
Asher: She never stops talking, asks nosy questions, has to be involved with everything, constantly complains that you aren’t nice, makes you stop killing people-
Kitty: I’m butting in, he won’t stop until I do. Let’s just say, I have my flaws. But they are very much overshadowed by those of my friend here.
- Do you think the author portrayed you accurately?
Kitty: I think so, I’m sometimes a bit shy and I like to see others put first and cared for, so I appreciated getting to have the story told from my view. I know I’m not in your face like a lot of leads, but I think us nurturing types deserve to get a main role sometimes.
Asher: Can tell by the comments she did a good job with me. *smirks*
Kitty: Yes, I’ve seen all the ‘AAAGGGHHH Asher is amazing!!!!’ messages. Think they’d still say that if they met you in real life?
Asher: And got to look at me too?
Kitty: *Shakes head* Next question, please.
- What is your idea of a perfect day?
Kitty: Go ahead, insert the ‘any day she gets to look at me’ stupid comment…
Asher: Most people say their ideal day would be relaxing or fun. I wanna fight. Be in the middle of as many Tenebri loyalists as I can and cut them down, I spent my life learning how and I’m really good at it. I need a sword in my hand for it to be perfect.
- What is your greatest fear?
Kitty: I think I’m speaking for us both when I say ‘failure,’ the whole world’s counting on us to stop this invasion. We’ll do it though, we won’t fail.
- Someone is secretly in love with you. Who is it and how do you feel about that?
Kitty: Oh, I’m not really the secretly desirable type, and I don’t get to meet many eligible bachelors while I’m sneaking across the kingdom. Except the ones that are helping the Tenebri and trying to kill me. Asher?
Asher: Don’t flatter yourself, love.
Kitty: I was handing over the question, but thanks for the ego boost.
Asher: Most people that’ve read this book love me, feels pretty good.
- When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Kitty: I always knew I’d be a custodian, just like my dad. I remember being in the forest more than my house when I was a child, learning how to navigate and hunt and survive. I get claustrophobic if I’m inside too long or it’s crowded, give me open woodland and birdsong any day.
- If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, what would you do today?
Kitty: We face that prospect every day. I don’t know that I’ll die tomorrow, but there’s certainly a chance that it’ll happen. I’ll keep fighting until the end, I wouldn’t change anything.
Asher: Me either, love.
- What is the one food you can’t live without?
Both: Roast duck and plum sauce!
Kitty: See, we do agree on one thing.
- If they turned the book into a movie, who would be cast to play you?
Asher: I don’t watch movies. Whoever’s the best looking and funniest.
Kitty: I’ve been told that Daisy Ridley would be a good match! Thank you so much for having us, Ember. Even though one of us was technically uninvited.
Asher: Yeah, it was fun. Might let you come to all my interviews, Archer.
