Character Interview: Sebastian from Christi J. Whitney's 'Grey'





We’re thrilled to be talking to Sebastian from Christi J. Whitney’s, Grey, book one in The Romany Outcasts Series.  It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character!

Thank you for your interview, Sebastian.  How old are you and what do you do for a living?

Hey, thanks for having me. Well, I’m eighteen, so pretty much school is what I do for a living, unfortunately. But I’ve got plans to work in my brother’s tattoo shop after I graduate, so I’m looking forward to that.

What would I love the most about you?

Okay, well…I thought this interview might be a little more about other stuff that wasn’t quite so…ah, personal? Um, could we maybe not talk about me? That’s just all kinds of awkward.

What makes you laugh out loud?

Okay, much easier question to answer. Definitely those stupid cat videos on the Internet. Yeah, my friend Katie shows them to me all the time. She’s got a cat obsession. Also, I’m partial to Monty Python.

What is in your refrigerator right now?

My brother Hugo’s not the best with household duties, and that includes basic stuff. Like, you know, going to the grocery store. We’ve got some eggs and some milk that surprisingly hasn’t expired yet, so apparently it’s a good week. Also, plenty of leftover Chinese food. A box of pizza. Oh, and yogurt. I don’t really know why. Nobody eats it.

What is your most treasured possession?

Well, I’ve got this pretty old copy of Hamlet I picked up in a used bookstore in town. I don’t know why I even looked at it to begin with. The cover was all ripped. But honestly, it’s what got me into Shakespeare in the first place. Though it’s not something I really make common knowledge. My friend Avery makes enough jabs about my reading choices as it is.

What is your greatest fear?

I don’t really like thinking about stuff like that too much. It’s not that I don’t have any fears because I do. Plenty. I just…well…can we maybe switch topics? Thanks.

Do you think the author portrayed you accurately?

Yeah, I think so. I mean, she gets into my head a little too much, and that’s kind of disturbing, but I have to give her credit. She’s done her research.

Who is your best friend?

Katie Lewis. She’s one of my favorite people, and not just because she brings me chicken biscuits before school, though that’s worth major points. Seriously, though, Katie took pity on me my first day of school here two years ago and made me feel welcome. She’s great…even if she does keep trying to set me up with people.

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I don’t really remember much about my past, and actually, I’d prefer not to talk about it, if that’s okay. Next question?

What’s your idea of a perfect meal?

Probably an all-you-can-eat buffet. Preferably with lots of meat. And pizza. Oh, who am I kidding? I’ll eat basically anything you put in front of me. Just ask Hugo.

We’re thrilled to be talking to Dr. Henriette Behrens, German Federal Chancellor of “Three Brothers” by Joerg H. Trauboth.   It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character! “I work until deep in the night when most of the office lights are out and preferably with women. Too many of the men here are egocentric machos, except one. You unfortunately know who I mean.” --Exclusive Interview with Dr. Henriette Behrens, THREE BROTHERS 1.       Thank you for your interview, Dr. Henriette Behrens.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? Would you also ask a man how old he is, and that in your first question? Shame on you. You are also funny. My personal information as chancellor are only too well-known.

We’re thrilled to be talking to Nolan Troxler from Thorn Osgood's, The Reclamation . It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Nolan.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? No problem, thank you for asking me. I'm fifty-nine and a web designer by trade, but I also have invented information and telecommunications products that are completely safe for users and the environment. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? Over the years I have continued to wear my hair shoulder length with a stubble beard. Of course now, my hair is salt-and-pepper gray. What is the trait you most not like about yourself? Embarrassing as it is to admit, I am completely absorbed with my work and have too often procrastinated on taking appropriate actions when required. What would I hate the most about you? You would probably hate the fact that I remained absent from ...

  We’re thrilled to be talking to AJ from Paolo Mazzucato's AJ AND THE INCREDIBLE FISH.  It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character!   Thank you for your interview, AJ.  How old are you and what do you do for a living? I’m eleven years old, so, you know, way beyond believing in silly things like…tooth fairies or other crazy stories that adults like to tell. I mean, who do they think they’re kidding, right? I live in the REAL world, and ever since my dad left, I spend my time staying out of trouble (mostly) with my sixth-grade friends at St. Anthony School in Wailuku. That’s on Maui, just in case you weren’t paying attention during Sr. Penguin’s geography class, like Eddie who reads comics tucked inside his textbook, which is something I NEVER do. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? Features? You mean like my nose or something? Well, that’s normal, I guess. I mean my nose is normal. I guess I have messy ...
