AKI
Hey there, I'm Starwindrider and today we are going to interview this cute Tolter here by the name of Aki.
So, hello Aki. Today's interview may take a while, would you bear with it?Absolutely!Wonderful, Aki. Now, could you tell me your basic information?Well, my name is
Aki, which means "autumn" in Japanese. If you want to be more formal, you can call me
Autumn Spirit, which is my show name. I'm a
four-year-old mare. Oh and by the way, I'm
straight, thank you very much, but I accept the LGBT community, so don't worry. I want my halter to be a
red to yellow gradient, which is a really great autumn color!
What's your personality?Me? I'm
funny and cheery, and I
love making someone else's day! I
enjoy adventures and trying out new things too. I guess I can be called
kind, caring and selfless, I would stop at nothing to help a friend in any way. I'm
an open book, and I don't hide secrets from my best friends, as I think that it is disloyal, and
loyalty means a lot to me. I'm
quick-tempered and
gets over grudges very easily, if I have any grudges at all.. I'm a
daredevil too, although I may
do things on impulse at times, hehe. I'm also a
hard and diligent worker!
Wow, looks like you're a real fun friend to be with! I know you love autumn. What's your favourite part of autumn, then?Wow that's hard to decide. But I have to say, my favourite part is
playing in leaf piles and
eating pumpkin pie with my friends and family! Jumping into leaf piles are just so fun. The higher the place you leap from, the greater the thrill! What I do is I gather a pile under a good old tree, clamber onto the tree as far as I can go, and whoopee doopee! Here I come! Doesn't it sound fun? The warm and sweet pumpkin pie is the best kind of treat on a cold autumn day, with the wind howling outside, but I'm all cozy in front of the fire and munching on the pie, and the pie warms me inside out while the flames warm me outside in, and cold is a long way away...Sigh...How I love that!
Sounds great, Aki. You said you were a hard and diligent worker, and records tell me you have won quite a number of competitions. Tell me, what does reward mean to you?Hmm. The definition of reward: a thing given in recognition of service, effort, or achievement. To many people, "reward" may mean winning a prestigious competition they have been training hard for. But to me, well, a reward means the process of the competition, not the results.
To me, the feeling of adrenaline and the wind in my face as I am soaring over the ground...The thrill of pushing myself beyond what I thought I could do...That is what reward means to me.
That's really, wow, profound! You seem really smart,
Aki, smarter beyond your years. Nah, it's nothing. Maybe I'm just
mature or maybe my
mind ticks in a different way.
You're so humble, too! I bet many Tolters will find that you are a wonderful mare to be with. Aki, let me ask you,
what is your theme? I've never really given that a thought...I really don't know. Maybe...
Little April Shower from Bambi? I know that sounds really weird, but it's about Bambi overcoming his fear of rainstorms and eventually loving them. For me, I think that my life, a portion of it, is about fearlessly finding fears and overcoming them.
Talking about fears, what are your fears, Aki?I have a
fear of insects. Standing on the arena ground and spying a spider striding across the sawdust will send me bolting. It's troublesome, both to me and to overcoming it. Any kind of insect scares me. Cockroach, spider, grasshopper, bee; you name it, I'll run off. Please. No insects. I don't suppose you have any insects around the paddocks here. No? Good.
What are your likes and dislikes?I like...
eating pumpkin pie, going for a swim in the stream, and galloping across the paddock . I enjoy doing these activities. I don't like
bullies who especially tease me about my fear of creepy-crawlies, and hot days too. I hate bullies. And hot days? Bless me if I won't start melting right there and then! I'll start sweating profusely and I'll see heat waves literally rising out from the ground. And I'll feel heat around me too. No, I definitely don't like hot days.
I see. I'm not a fan of hot days either, haha. Now, why would you want to join my stables, Starrfyre Stables? (Link in my Sig)Oh, oh! Firstly, the
location. The island your stables are located on is small and cozy. It has water surrounding it, so a dip in the cool sea would be the best remedy for hot days! Secondly, the
occupants. I've heard the horses at Starrfyre, although a small number, are welcoming and friendly. I'll be able to be happy and make many friends there. Lastly, the
living standards. Your stables provide all horses with warm blankets in the cooler months, and bring them for swims in the hotter months. They also get special feed tailored to their needs, which sounds really cool! I'll look forward to joining Starrfyre if I get chosen!
It'll be an honour to have you in Starrfyre! Well, I wish that you will be coming to join us soon. Thanks for the interview, and have a good day, Aki!Thank you, byebye!
