What was the best birthday present you ever received, and why?
A black Zorro cape and sword I was given when I turned 5. It got worn a lot and I still vividly remember it to this day.
What smell do you find irresistible?
The smell of Oregon timber and the smell of panelbeating body-filler. My dad was a panelbeater.
What is your least favourite thing about humanity?
Greed and religion. Those two lead to war.
What's something only your family knows about you?
I like 1980s synthesised music by groups like Pseudo Echo and the Eurythmics.
You are a new addition to the crayon box. What colour are you, and why?
Oregon green. It's a good, calming colour.
