If there was one thing that Astra disliked, it was crowds. No, more specifically, she hated being in them. As in, trying to walk through them when they were pushing and shoving and trying to trample her in the process.

This was why she was thankful to have wings. It stopped her from having to think about such things. However on this occasion, they didn't do her any good.

She had just completed Famines trial, and was taking a break inside her dorm room. But she had to leave it in order to get some nourishment, and so exiting the room she found herself nearly swamped by reporters. Immediately she took to the air, weaving this way and that to escape the mass of halloweenrs, all of them jostling about trying ask her questions. She would of loved to answer them, but she had her own needs, and didn't want to go to nurse cricket on account of being stepped on.

However, she wouldn't have this luxury. As she flew over the tops of the reports, one of them had the clever idea to stick a camera just a little bit above the crowds, just in time for Astra to smack into it, falling onto the floor with a squeak. Immediately she was surrounded by eager reporters.

Someone is saying that the winning groups unfairly cheated. What do you think about this?

"ow...wha?" She blinked, looking up at the banshee who had asked her the question. They were saying some of them had cheated? How could you cheat in a trial like that? Maybe they were able to smuggle in some extra items.

"I don't really care" She stated. Really, she didn't. If given the opportunity, she would have cheated too! Well, maybe...

Why do you think your school deserves to participate in the Trials?

"Because our school is the best!" She said, standing up tall and proud (or, short and proud in her case). "We work really hard, and if we succeed in these trials we'll become even better!"

Astra would have said the same thing, except she pretty much screamed and tried to hide when she realized the reporter had a very nasty set of razor sharp teeth and- was he breathing fire?!

What was the hardest moment for you to overcome during the last Trials?

Calming down, Astra looked to see the reaper who had asked the question. She sighed; this one was a easy one. "It was the huge squid monster of course! Didn't you see how big it was? We couldn't even fight it off, let alone defeat it"

"Now, if you'll excuse me..." She said, then quick as a flash, she had flown off again, leaving the reports to wrestle amongst themselves for the next student to interview
