Captured Minds Character Interview:
Raven:
1. What
do you believe to be your greatest strength?
R: Oh
Goodness, I don’t know. I guess my greatest strength would be that I am in tune
with how people are feeling. I don’t like to see my family and friends upset.
2. A
lot of people look up to you, especially teens. How has this changed you, if at
all?
R: I don’t think it’s changed me all that much
but it has made me more aware of others and how they see me. I am more aware of
what I say and do now (laughs).
3. Do
you have anyone you admire or look up to?
R:
Mila. I think she’s amazing and so brave. If I lost my father I couldn’t run a
country or even half a country for that matter. It’s her that got us through the last few
weeks. I’m so grateful to her.
4. Any
plans to go to college either in Zoar or the Other World?
R: You know, I haven’t really thought that
far. I do want to experience college and see what I can learn but I also want
to help kids like myself. We’re all in this crazy journey together and we need
to support each other in any way we can.
5. Last
question, you mentioned Mila, Zoar’s ruler. How has Zoar changed since she
became ruler?
R: (chews on nails) I’m not really sure,
honestly. I do know there’s a lot more Other World stuff here than before but
that’s okay. Like I said, I have seen how brave she is and I know that she’ll
lead this land to the best of her ability.
Thank you so much for your time, Raven and we
look forward to hearing from you again soon!
