”So what's your name?”
I'm Caroline Jacqueline Lancaster. Please don't call be Carrie or anything like that because I really hate it. My mum used to slap my dad whenever he tried to shorten my name when I was a child. Then, since I grew up being called Caroline, I now don't like being called anything else. If I wanted to be called anything other than Caroline I probably would have changed my name to it by now, so yeah.
”Tell me a bit about your family.”[/b]
Oooh you picked a brilliant subject there. In truth, I love my parents – I can't help it, they're my mum and dad, but that doesn't make them good people. In fact, they've been pretty terrible parents in some respects. Admittedly, I never went without anything (well, apart from for the first few years before my dad inherited his father's hotel chain but I don't really remember that), but they kept a lot of secrets from me. The most important of these would be the one they told me on my sixteenth birthday which is that I'm not actually an only child, but have a twin brother. Apparently, because when I was born my parents were so poor, they couldn't afford to keep both me and my brother, so they sent him to a shelter and never had anything to do with him again. At this time my dad had been feuding with his father so was receiving no financial help from him, but just three years after this my dad inherited the hotels and we had more money than we knew what to do with. Did my parents locate my brother? No. Apparently it would have brought shame on the family and that was completely unheard of. I moved out of home as soon as I could afford it, when I was eighteen. My parents still send me money every week, but it's not my sole source of income. I was going to college at the time so they helped with that, but I was also working as a waitress on the side.
”So what did you do after college?”
After college I decided I wanted to work with animals, so started an apprenticeship in the local veterinary surgery. Though since I moved out I've spent nearly all of my spare time looking for my brother. Problem was, I had no idea who I was looking for.
”Couldn't your parents give you any help?”
Yes, they did start helping. My dad helped straight away; I've always been closer to him. My mum took a bit of coaxing but eventually helped me by digging up all of the remaining things they had from my brother. The major thing was the birth certificate, which says he's born here in Roseneath California, as well as giving me a confirmation of his name (it was harder for me to believe my parents were telling me the truth about my brother after they'd lied to me about him for so long). I'd been living just outside of Roseneath until a few months ago but I moved back into the town in order to focus more on finding Raiden.
”So what about you, how would you describe yourself?”
Me? I don't know... I think I'm nice, I know I'm quite clever and I'm an indoors kind of person. I like being inside most of the time. I don't do rain or winter. I eat a lot of fruit, I'm not very artistic. I don't really know what to say about myself. I don't believe that money should be kept inside a ring of people. I like giving money to people, I like spoiling people and I love being able to buy things for people I love. I love charity work, so I do a lot of that. Mostly, I believe that morals are incredibly important. I think that my schooling had a lot to do with it. I watched a lot of girls lose their virginity young or get into messes or have to abort babies and all sorts of horrible things. I think people these days don't have a very strong sense of shame. I think people have no sense of restraint now a days.
”Are you saying you're still and virgin, etc.?”[/b]
Yes, I am. I'm also proud of it. I don't care if I'm 21, I'm not about to waste my body on someone who isn't important to me. I believe in soul mates; I'm saving myself for someone important.
”Tell me a secret.”[/b]
Okay. A secret? You'll think I'm mental for this but I have the most horrible dreams. Really vivid ones. When I was sixteen I just... I don't know how to describe it. I woke up one day and knew I was different. Being sixteen was a difficult year for me. I could feel that I was different and I knew it too. It took me a while to work it out but I did. This is where you're going to think I'm mental but in Greek mythology there is a goddess called Aidos, who was considered a sort of personification of shame and humility and things like that. I feel like... Well, all of my dreams seem like they're through her eyes. I have no idea whether I believe in god or whether I believe in reincarnation, but if I did believe in it, I'd believe I was her, reincarnated.
”That's a tad weird. Describe yourself in three words?”
