[pomme]

Hello Thumbelina! This is an interview.

H-hello.

Care to introduce yourself to Dawnbreeze?

Who is Dawnb-

She created you, Lina.

Oh! Well, in that case, Hi there! I'm Th-Thumbelina. I was named Thumbelina because i'm s-small

Do you happen to like your name?

Well, its different. But its a part of me, and I am who I am

You sure are. And your quite pretty too. Where did you get those black flowers?

Well, I found them. I thought they were pretty so...

Are you telling the truth?

Well, um, maybe not exac-

Honest to God, Thumbelina. Why would you lie?

Please don't h-hurt me!

-sighs- I wasn't going to. But could you please tell us the whole story?

Well, I guess I could.

It all started when I was taking a walk. It was a nice day, the sun out. All of the sudden, a beautiful JMD and her
son caught my eye. The mother was selling beautiful red roses, I could see. But I wasn't the only person to have the
idea of buying a rose. I caught the eye of another JMD racing me to it. I let them pass, and they bought their roses. When
I approached, I smiled. "Hello m'am. I'm Thumbelina." I said. The JMD smiled and looked at me. "I'm Zhera, and this
is my son, Jaxon. Pleasure to meet you." She said. I looked at the booth. "May I buy a rose?" I asked. Zhera looked a
bit concerned. "Sorry dear, they are all gone. Well... Most of them. I have one left that no one took." She reached down
and grabbed a basket. Inside the basket was a thornbush. It looked completely dead. Lifeless. I flinched, and Zhera
took this into mind. "They will grow a special type of rose. All you have to do is grow the thorns around your leg
and it will look beautiful on you!" She said with a smile. I nodded and placed my coins on the table. "Thank you!" With
that, I took off in my house. My brother laughed at me, and shoved me in a corner. With that, he stabbed the thorns
in my arm. I felt the stinging of it in my leg, and I cried and cried. When he was done, he shoved me into the wall
again. I looked down at my blood-stained fur and saw the thorns were lodged into my skin. It was... awful. He ran
away from home, but one day, I'll make him pay!

Yeesh. What a brother. I'm sorry your story was so hard. But we're your friends!

I-I guess so.

You guess?

I'm not very outgoing. But if you insist, then yes, we're friends. How much longer until this is over.

A couple more questions, ok?

O-ok.

Thumbelina, do you think your personality is attractive?

Oh, no. Not at all. I'm trying to work on my shyness... but...

Hey, relax. I think your personality is cute!

Th-thanks. Can I go now?

Alrighty then. Good day!
