Introduction
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." -Oscar Wilde

Hello! First things first, just call me Aspen. You can go with my full username if you want, but since it takes about 15 minutes to type, I can't imagine why you would.

If you ever have a question or feel like talking -be it about the wiki, about the books, related to something on my profile, or just random- post a message on my wall, I'll do my best to answer and I love having conversations (especially bookish ones (I'm always happy to give recommendations as well) but really, just any random topic is fun to discuss too).

If you're here already, do me a favour and read my very long profile? :) Thanks!

A Bit About Me
- I'm an early bird and a morning person.

- I'm a proud dancer! I dance Flamenco, Jazz, Contemporary and Ballet. Flamenco is by far my favourite, both to watch and to dance, but they're all awesome and difficult in their own ways.

- I play castanettes (thanks to Flamenco).

- I'm an aspiring author. I've written a bunch of short stories, some fanfiction (it's on my blog, I'd really appreciate it if you'd check it out, and comment if you liked it or have constructive critiscm), and I've recently started working on my first novel.

- I'm pretty flexible- not crazy out-there, but still quite bendy.

- I love Lego.

- I'm homeschooled and I love it!

- I'm learning Spanish.

- I'm bilingual- English and German.

- I've become bookworm-style obsessed with a German cozy crime show (Die Rosenheim Cops) and I have no idea why XD.

- I have a weird habbit of memorizing things just for fun, like poems, speeches, songs, and especially world flags.

- I really like listening to music. There's something powerful about it, and sometimes I feel like it's the only thing that can make my brain stop spinning for a while.

Random Favourite Things (No One Cares, So Of Course I Have To Do It)
Favourite School Subject: Maths (I'm considering studying it and taking up a job involving it)

Favourite Sports: Dancing and All-star Cheerleading (I am slightly obsessed with both, and I would strongly advise you against telling me that either one of them is easy/not a sport)

Favourite Animal: Tiger, Wolf, Polar Bear... (really I'm just fascinated with predators, or any animals that have this aura of wisdom, mystery, danger or regality- here's something about these traits that completely mesmerizes me, especially when they come in a combination (exception: dolphins, I love them for their playfulness and intelligence))

Favourite Colour: Rosegold, Lilac, Midnight Blue, Platinum

Favourite Movie (I'm not a movie person, and I barely watch them, but whatever): Miracle on the 34th Street (1994), Cool Runnings

Favourite Season: Winter. Defintely. I love pretty much everything about it.

- We need more Neverseen/Black Swan conflict, less love triangle

- Marella Deserves Better (I can't access source mode currently)

- I strongly dislike Dex. I find him annoying, whiny, sulky and tending to jealousy. I think he is overrated, and I think that Sophie deserves a much better best friend.

- Elven clothing, particularly fancy wear, is the BEST. Especially capes and boots. I LOVE capes. Also boots. I love boots. Preferably high-heeled with laces.

Ranking the books: And now, my ships from favourite to least favourite: Top three characters: Opinions and thoughts:
 * 1) Winter
 * 2) Cress
 * 3) Scarlet
 * 4) Cinder
 * 1) Cresswell
 * 2) Kaider
 * 3) Wolflet
 * 4) Wincin
 * Iko
 * 1) Thorne
 * 2) Cress

- Fairest was interesting and well-written, but not my thing

- Mind control is waaaaay too convenient
