;Why did you choose Yellow?
+
To me, being Yellow embodies a love of people. It's all about compassion and being there for each other. That's always been a huge theme in my life and that's why Yellow felt like Home to me.
−
Being Yellow is about compassion and a willingness to be there for another. Everything I've ever wanted to do with my life has had something to do with people, and most things have had to do with healing in some manner. I've always been the person my friends came to for objective advice or even just for a shoulder to cry on - and I *love* being able to be that for somebody!!

I will always love Nyneave! I relate to her the most, except my temper isn't quite so hot.

−
;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
+
