(i) How many children would you like?
Honestly, anywhere between 1-3 is fine. one is good enough for me, but I'm willing to be a bit flexible. Birthing more than three sounds incredibly painful and you'd have to induce amnesia on me. if you want more, birth them yourself.
(ii) What is your ideal first date?
It would be nice to just chill inside with some hot chocolate and video games or tv.
(iii) Would you be comfortable staying at home and raising the children while your husband runs a country?
Not really. I can't stay home even now. I can watch them and everything, I just can't stay still and do nothing. I need to work. If I'm going to marry, we have to be partners. Even if we don't love each other, it's still a partnership.
(iv) Do you have siblings?
As far as I'm concerned, I'm an only child.
(v) What are your passions and hobbies?
My hobbies consist of video games, sleeping, eating, music, fighting. My passion is animals and my profession involves instruments. reading is fun too.

(i) How many children would you like?
preferably none but i guess having children comes with the territory, doesn't it? fine, how about one.
(ii) What is your ideal first date?
why, just a simple walk in the park will do. unlike most girls, i don't need to be pampered on the first date. ;)
(iii) Would you be comfortable staying at home and raising the children while your husband runs a country?
again, if we had children. but i don't see why not. i mean, that's what servants are for.
(iv) Do you have siblings?
yes, though if anyone would like her, she's a great cook and does the laundry really well. i'm asking $5000 for her at the minimum.
(v) What are your passions and hobbies?
i am the queen when it comes to hobbies. not to be arrogant, but i believe i could beat your majesty if we were to run track. or swimming. that's it! first date we go to the castle pool and whoever beats the loser has to buy them lunch and dinner. that has to leave an impression on your majesty.
Tessa Hylann || Likely
(i) How many children would you like?
Two, because I think that it would be hard to manage 3+ children while holding a job. I would love to have children, though I can't say I'd be the best mother, at least not at the age I am now.
(ii) What is your ideal first date?
Going out for coffee and pastries on a casual morning, or doing something at nighttime like stargazing or a midnight walk. I feel like a less formal atmosphere would make it easier to get to know someone.
(iii) Would you be comfortable staying at home and raising the children while your husband runs a country?
I would rather have a job for myself. I don't like doing nothing or feeling like I'm not being productive. Of course raising children is still productive, but I believe that having a family shouldn't be something that is left to one person alone. I don't want to be a figurehead. Doing something actively doesn't mean I won't be able to take care of children, just like being king doesn't mean you can leave your children to me.
(iv) Do you have siblings?
No, I'm an only child.
(v) What are your passions and hobbies?
I love math and science, and I love creating things. That's my job, but I love doing it - even if I'm not doing something for a client, I still enjoy spending time on inventions and design. In my free time, I like to read and draw.
Katniss Laughlin~Carolina(i) How many children would you like?
1.) Well, first of all, thank you for such a warm welcome! To answer the question, well, I’d be happy with maybe three! See, I grew up as a second child of three myself, and while I had bad moments I can hardly imagine being an only child! I wouldn’t want any children I have to be alone, you know? It’s such a sad thought, even if they don’t get along all the time. And this way, if one child doesn’t get along with someone, they have another friend. So, yes, I’d say three at least, perhaps four, but I’m not sure I’d be able to handle anymore, or desire more than that.
(ii) What is your ideal first date?
2.) My ideal first date? Oh, it’s such a dreamy question! I’d say something where we get to know each other, going to dinner, sitting and watching the sunset or going on a walk. Oh, it just occurred o me sitting and watching a sunset may be a quieter activity and I just think a date, a first one, has to have talking. So not watching a movie or a show. So, I would say dinner or going on a walk.
(iii) Would you be comfortable staying at home and raising the children while your husband runs a country?
3.) I…no. I don’t think so. See, I want to do what I love, and that’s dance. I’d be fine raising the children but I’d expect some help and I’d expect to continue being able to dance and do what I love. I wouldn’t mind staying in the shadows for public, royal events, but I don’t wan to be relegated to just a mother in the most traditional sense with no freedoms and having to ask someone before I pursue my hobby or…for me it’s a career, being a five and all. Anyway, I want freedom and I want to be equals with my husband, even if he may be the king. I do request he helps raise the kids, too. They’re not just mine. I want to marry for love, and love is equality.
(iv) Do you have siblings?
4.) Yes…I do. As I mentioned before, I’m a middle child of three, I have an older brother and a younger sister.
(v) What are your passions and hobbies?
5.) DANCE!! As a five, I get my choice in the arts but my parents are dancers and I fell in love with it early on. I want to do it for the rest of my life. Some people complain about being a five, but I rather like it. It’s not the worst, but we’re…okay enough I guess. And hobbies, yes, I like running and hiking, and walking.
1. 1-2 would be my preference, but I’m ok with anything less than 52. Going on a picnic, to the zoo, to an aquarium, or to lunch or dinner sounds nice.
3. Yes I would be ok with that, as long as you make at least a little time each week to spend with the children.
4. Yes I have one sister
5. I love playing my viola, which is like a violin. I also love writing and history. I like to read during my free time. I also enjoy designing clothes, which I usually would help my mother with each day. I also love taking walks, planning parties, and cooking

Vera Hollister~Belcourt
(i) How many children would you like?
As many as necessary for the kingdom. If I win the Selection, I’m sure I’ll have at least three. I’m tempted to say however His Highness would want, but he’s not the one having the children.
(ii) What is your ideal first date?
Whatever the prince wants, of course. Granted I do love sitting in rose gardens. There’s something very elegant about them. But I would never say no to a dinner in a gold hall with glitzy chandeliers. At all. And the rose garden cannot be full of too much dirt…
(iii) Would you be comfortable staying at home and raising the children while your husband runs a country?
Yes. If that is the job of a queen, then yes.
(iv) Do you have siblings?
I do indeed, two charming older siblings. I’m the baby. Well, only in birth order.
(v) What are your passions and hobbies?
5.) I love to sunbathe. Sitting outside and tanning under a warm sun that makes you sleepy? Yes, please. Now, I’m also open to learning anything that he prince wants me to. Whatever he likes, sign me up, I can always afford a new passtime….just, if at all possible, make sure it’s nothing that would get me too filthy, I have enough time dodging filth at home. And doing my hair is fun—it’s really long, so I can play around with it a lot.
Quinn Dreamer - Panama
(i) How many children would you like?
I'd say anywhere between two and four. It's me giving birth and going through the pain, not the prince. If I can only do two children, His Highness must understand. It doesn't seem right to make a woman go through more than she can handle, now does it?
(ii) What is your ideal first date?
Probably a quaint lunch or picnic in the gardens. I love the outdoors and sitting in the grass, eating and just enjoying nature seems splendid and very nice to me. I don't expect anything fancy or over the top. I'm not exactly the greatest with those situations.
(iii) Would you be comfortable staying at home and raising the children while your husband runs a country?
If I must, absolutely. But my husband must also be able to spend time with me. A marriage, no matter arranged or love, must contain some contact and interaction. I won't be okay with my husband being out and me never getting to get to know him properly.
(iv) Do you have siblings?
Yes, I have a older sister names Sophina, though I was never treated right by her. I felt like an only child the amount of times I could never get her to help me.
What are your passions and hobbies?
Reading and painting. I do tend to day dream much to often though. I got into painting when I was in primary school. We would have art class on Fridays and that was the day I looked forward to, no matter how my week had gone so far. It gives me a sense of peace and serenity, just looking at something at creating it with paints or pencils.
Taja Delarynne ~Allens(i) How many children would you like?
Honestly? Maybe only now or two, if any. Actually I’d rather not have any at all, but if I had to? One or two I guess. I understand I would need some if I was to marry the prince but the idea does not appeal to me.
(ii) What is your ideal first date?
I don’t know, maybe being together and watching a sunset? Doing something outside for certain, perhaps painting together or just sitting and talking, getting to know one another. I wouldn’t mind if a movie was thrown in, though.
(iii) Would you be comfortable staying at home and raising the children while your husband runs a country?
As long as I get treated with respect and get to keep my hobbies, then I guess so. I would want him to lean on me though and allow me to share some of his burden of running a kingdom. It isn’t something that easily looks like it can be done on its own.
(iv) Do you have siblings?
I don’t. I am an only child, and perhaps part of that feeds into why I don’t really want children.
(v) What are your passions and hobbies?
Paining, drawing, listening to music, watching sunsets. All peaceful activities. I really wish I could paint professionally, but as a 4 that option isn’t open to me unless I went down a caste, but that would mean less money and less security, which is not good. So I hope the Selection gives me extra money and a way to pursue my art, I suppose.
Cobie Mannon~Hudson(i) How many children would you like?
Two. That’s it. No more. Look, if marrying the prince means I have to have, like, eight kids, then that’s out and your government needs some help. Not that—never mind.
(ii) What is your ideal first date?
I don’t know, I’ve never dated. Just take me somewhere and buy me food. Honestly, what, you expect the prince to find a bride among 35 women when maybe his soulmate is, say, across the world? But yeah, if I had to date, then food has to be involved. I guess dinner, but nowhere too fancy, so I’ll go with the middle of the woods under some stars. So stargazing would be cool.
(iii) Would you be comfortable staying at home and raising the children while your husband runs a country?
Absolutely not, this is a marriage. I grew up with an experience of marriage that was trash and fell apart and there was no equality in that. So I want equality if I was to marry. Work equality, personally equality, all of that.
(iv) Do you have siblings?
Yes, I have a twin. She’s my favorite person on this planet.
(v) What are your passions and hobbies?
Exercise. Reading. Eating when the food is good.
Astrid Isabelle LaRue || St. George; Caste 5
(i) How many children would you like?
I honestly haven't thought about this much, but I think two. That way they would always have someone to talk to, especially if they are close in age. I definitely wouldn't want to have just one, because, in my opinion, life as an only child seems terrible and lonely.
(ii) What is your ideal first date?
Nothing special or extravagant, maybe just a picnic and a walk in the garden, or stargazing on the roof of the castle.
(iii) Would you be comfortable staying at home and raising the children while your husband runs a country?
For me, this is a difficult question. On one hand, I'd love nothing more than to be the best mother possible for the children, but on the other I don't want to be seen as just a housewife. I want to help the king run the country, and if anything, be his equal, not someone below him, as woman were potrayed in previous centuries.
(iv) Do you have siblings?
Yes, I have four. I have two sisters who are a lot like me, Elizabeth and Maddison. Maddison is deaf, but that doesn't stop her at all. I also have two brothers, Charles, nicknamed Charlie, and Alexander, who are both wild and crazy, but I still love them.
(v) What are your passions and hobbies?
I like to read, paint, draw, sing and play instruments whenever I have free time. I also love to stargaze, and I know almost everything about the stars and space.
~Aella Booker~Whites~
(i) How many children would you like?
I have always wanted 4+ children.
(ii) What is your ideal first date?
Out in the armory, looking at weponds and then sparing.
(iii) Would you be comfortable staying at home and raising the children while your husband runs a country?
That depends on what he is going out to do. If it is a war, then no I will fight beside him, but if it is just a meeting, I dont care. Whatever he wants me to do.
(iv) Do you have siblings?
No.
(v) What are your passions and hobbies?
I love to spare and fight. I love to ride and be outside in the forest. Something no one really knows is that I love to sing.
~Evangeline Samos || Caste 2~
(i) How many children would you like?
I suppose between two and four, because I want my children to have siblings so that then they will have someone to connect with and someone who will also be there for them, at least thats how it was for me and my siblings.
(ii) What is your ideal first date?
Sparring, or going for a walk or both.
(iii) Would you be comfortable staying at home and raising the children while your husband runs a country?
I would like to be in my children’s lives and want to be a parent for them, but I would also like to help rule the country after all isnt it the queens job to help rule the county?
(iv) Do you have siblings?
Yes I have two brothers, one of which is my twin.
(v) What are your passions and hobbies?
Sparring, training, war tactics, court politics, reading, horse riding, music.
