Name: Harper Rhodes

Question 1) What's your favorite pizza topping? Shrimp

Question 2) Sticking with food what's your food heaven and food hell? My food heaven would have to be Seafood, especially crab legs. My food hell would be red meat...I just can't take the smell when it's cooking.

Question 3) What was your favorite subject at school and why? Music. I just loved playing and creating music that people would enjoy.

Question 4a) Snog, Marry, Avoid- Alex Anselmo, Constantine 'The Great', Tero Melos? Hmm, Snog Alex, Marry Telo Melos and avoid Constantine.

Question 4b) Snog, Marry Avoid- Serenity Azurewind, Sophie Harrison-Ironside, Leanne Hunnable? Can't I just snog them all? Ok, Ok, uhm...Snog Sophie, Marry Serenity and Avoid Leanne Hunnable.

Question 5) You get to ask a genie one question. It doesn't matter what you ask, but you will get a 100% honest and truthful answer – what would you ask? Why am I here?

Question 6) At home what do you do to unwind? Pilates and squash. The Pilates relaxes me and smashing that little ball at a wall for an hour really works out any frustrations.

Question 7) What are your favorite book and film? My favorite book is "To Kill A Mockingbird" and I really like the film "Casablanca"

Question 8) Who do you consider to be your closest friends outside Seaforth? Hmm. I honestly haven't had much opportunity to make many close friends outside of Seaforth. I am, of course a big fan of the Justicars, for obvious reasons. I suppose I am closest to Alex Anselmo, due to the Mundus Pride preformances...that was so much fun. I understand I may not get invited back because of the Nya Aland whale hunt, so...I don't know?

Question 9) Did you enjoy your responsibility's during the Nya Aland whale hunt? Very Much! The Nya Alanders are a wonderful people and I loved my time with them. I couldn't handle the 'First Kill' though...I'm not a fan of that.

Question 10) What do you think of this 'pretender' Richard Cameron? I don't know. He's very handsome and speaks well, but...I think he will be a thorn in Joshua's side for some time. He seems very opportunistic to me.

Question 11) Are you fully recovered from what happened in the Eugenics war? Somewhat. The treatment I received in Achkaerin was fantastic and I am fully physically recovered. The memories are...hard. I am seeing a therapist to help me work out the lingering issues. I fear it will be a life long battle.

Question 12) When are you going to let Justicar Julian Lawson buy you dinner? Any Time!
