What is their full name? Dakota Elizabeth Ryan
Does his or her name have a special meaning? She's named after Elizabeth the First, the first phoenix. I also picked that name because of Lizzy in Pride and Prejudice – the witty, slightly impulsive one. :)
Does your character have a methodical or disorganized personality? Neither. She's kind of in between....not exactly methodical, not exactly disorganized.
Does he or she think inside themselves more than they talk out loud to their friends? (more importantly, does he or she actually have friends?) Yes, she has friends. She kind of thinks to herself more, I guess – she talks to her friends, yes, but she does not share her innermost thoughts, and she keeps a lot of her thoughts to herself.
Is there something he or she is afraid of? Dakota is afraid of failing – she's afraid of being irresponsible when on a mission, and as a result of that one of her friends or loved ones die. She's afraid of causing things that result in death for the people she loves – whether it's being irresponsible, letting her anger get away with her, or making a reckless decision.
Does he or she write, dream, dance, sing, or photograph? No. She dreams like every other human being, but as for writing, dancing, singing, and photographing, no.
What is his or her favorite book? (or genre of books) She likes science fiction.
Who is his or her favorite author and/or someone that inspires him or her? Dakota's mom (Cara Ryan) is like a role model to her … Dakota admires her mother's calmness and bravery, even under pressure.
Favorite flavor of ice cream? Peanut butter fudge.
Favorite season of the year? Summer.
How old is he/she? Thirteen in the first book, fourteen in the next, and so on until she is eighteen in the last.
What does he/she do with his/her spare time? She does not really have spare time, but she would like to take gymnastics. But she never had the time.
Does he/she see the big picture or live in the moment? She lives in the moment. Because of her impulsive phoenix nature, she has trouble seeing the big picture, but she is not completely blindfolded. She is good at improvising, but she does live in the moment.
Is he/she a perfectionist? She'd rather not make mistakes, but she's not obsessed about trying not to make them.
What does her handwriting look like? (round, slanted, curly, skinny, sloppy, neat, decorative, etc.) Her handwriting is simple. It's not decorative or sloppy. It's neat, tall, and skinny.
Favorite creature? Phoenix, of course. ☺

Does he/she have any siblings? How many? Where does he/she fit in? She has one younger sibling named Brooke. Dakota is the oldest.

Favorite writing utensil? Pen.
What type of laugh does he/she have? A pleasant laugh – it's high, but not too high, and slightly musical.
Who is his/her best friend? It was Tessa Reed until Dakota was sent to the Haven. Then her best friends became Jazmyn Fletcher, Noah Logan, and eventually Luca Tidmarsh and Adrian Carter.
What is his/her family like? They are kind to one another.
Does he/she believe in fairies? She's not sure. With all that she's seen, she wouldn't be surprised if they existed, but she's never seen them herself.

Favorite kind of weather? Sunny, clear, and warm.
Does he/she have a good sense of humor? If so what kind? (Slapstick, wit, sarcasm, etc.?) Not really.
How did he/she do in school, or any kind of education they might have had. She's an okay student. Not the best (she's never seen that many A's) but she's willing to put effort into her schooling.
Any strange hobbies? She enjoys sorting M&M's or colored candies by color. She also likes to make pictures out of random things like name tags, Legos, and Post-Its.

Is he/she naturally curious? Yes.
Right, or left handed? Left handed.
Favorite color? Orange.
Where is he/she from? She lived in North Carolina for twelve years, then moved to Rhode Island.
Any enemies? Plenty. Let's see....Igdoscio Dechomai, Juliet Capulet, Pythos Wolfsbane, Argon Revilian, and (eventually) Onyx Aspodel. Then all of Igdoscio's troops are her enemies as well, and in the first book, she has an enemy that I won't say here....
What are his/her quirks? Dakota hates bananas in any shape or form, basketball, icing, and tea. She hates tea very much.

Cool! Is her handwriting kind of like mine? What happens to Tessa anyway? I can't wait to read the whole book!

Kind of - only hers is a little bit bigger. And Tessa....well....I suppose I can tell you, because it's not that big of a deal. Calypso (the witch...I don't know if I've told you about her or not) uses a magic powder to make Tessa forget everything.
