Blake!
08 - How do you know them?
I met him through my parents, cause’ ya know, he’s my brother, haha!
09 – Describe them in three sentences.
Blake is smart and serious. He always says what's on his mind, and is the most honest person I know. He’s pretty short-tempered and gets annoyed and impatient with people pretty easily...
PHYSICAL TRAITS

He’s a guy.
11 – How old are they?
He’s 26 in May!
12 - Describe them
Well, he kinda looks like a cool, fit version of me from an alternate universe, haha! He has his hair swooped over to one side, and it’s all shaved on the bottom. He also wears leather jackets and dresses in all black!
13 – Do they have any distinguishing features; scars or tattoos?
Yeah, he’s got a sleeve tattoo on his left arm of a snake. I thought he got it cause' Blake rhymes with snake, but apparently not, haha.
14 - Are they fit; Athletic. Do they do any sports?
Yeah, Blake’s pretty strong. One time, he threw Maxx out a window! He did martial arts for a while, but I dunno if he still does it, or not.
15 – What about Illnesses, War Wounds or Physical Disabilities?
Yeah, he’s got some scars on his body. He told me he got them when he was working in a factory.
SKILLS AND ABILITIES
16 - What would you say is their best ability?
He’s hella smart! He’s really good at figuring stuff out and coming up with solutions to problems. He should be a detective or something.
17 - What do they think their best ability is?
...Well, he seems to think he knows what’s best for everyone… especially me, but he doesn't always! ...Just cause’ you're smart, doesn't always mean you're always right!
18 - What else are they good at?
He’s good at fixing and repairing stuff! He knows how to fix the sink and repair broken chairs! He's also good at plant stuff and is a Gardiner! He prefers to be called a "Landscaper" or "Horticulturalist" though. He doesn't like it when I call him a Gardiner, haha.
19 - What are they not good at?
Dealing with people and emotional stuff... Blake doesn’t go about things in a tactful and sensitive way and can sometimes come across as rude or mean… and yeah, he totally can be rude and mean. He also tries to hide his own emotions and doesn’t like dealing with other people’s emotions either. He gets annoyed with me when I cry and can be really insensitive at times…
20 - Do they have any artistic talent?
Well, he's a gard- I mean, Landscaper, which is totally an artistic talent in my books!
21 - What about Musical Ability?
Nah, Blake's not musical, haha.
22 - Are they good at a particular sport?
He did martial arts!
23 - What about combat; can they fight?
Yeah, he's always been good at that. It got him expelled from school. There was this mean jerk that would always pick on me, and one day he went too far, throwing food all over me in the canteen, mocking me with pig noises. Blake then cornered him behind a classroom and beat him to a pulp. Nobody ever picked on me again after that. But poor Blake got expelled. I kinda think he wanted to get expelled though. He hated school.
24 - Do they have any... powers or abilities you would describe as supernatural or superhuman?
Haha, I guess reading me like a book? He always knows when people are lying, and has a good read on people. That's totally an ability! But he’s also not good with people when it comes to emotional stuff. Like, he can read people well, but he’s also totally clueless when it comes to feelings and stuff.
PERSONALITY AND INTERESTS
25 - If you had to choose one word to describe their personality; what would it be?
A grump!
26 - Can you expand on that?
Blake is a total grump! He’s pretty negative about people and the world, and gets angry pretty easily. He never smiles, like in all our family pics, he’s always frowning, haha. He’s also sarcastic, but unintentionally funny with what he says sometimes.
27 - What do you like best about them?
That he’s always looked out for me and had my back, even when we aren’t getting along, and even though he totally finds me annoying... I also like that he just does not give a care what others think and says and does whatever he wants. He’s such a cool guy!
28 - What personality trait or behaviour particularly gets on your nerves?
When he treats me like a child and underestimates me… It’s like he doesn’t think I’m capable of handling stuff on my own. He inserts himself into my problems and tries to fix them for me, sometimes making them worse, cause’ he’s not very tactful with people... I know he totally means well and I appreciate that he cares about me, it just... kinda hurts cause’ it’s like he thinks I’m stupid, or something.
29 - Are they sociable; do they mix well with others?
Nah, Blake’s not a social person. Some people think he’s mean, but he’s not, he just doesn’t know how to deal with people and doesn't want to deal with them usually, like, someone will be talking to him about what they did that day, and Blake will be like “Yeah, I really don’t care. Stop bothering me.” Dude, you can’t just say stuff like that, haha!
30 - Do they dress well? Are they Fashionable?
Yeah, he looks really cool and like someone you wouldn’t wanna mess with!
31 - What would you say is important to them?
Uhm, his morals and integrity?
Do you know of any deep, dark secrets they keep buried?
Nah, Blake wouldn't keep stuff from me. He never lies about stuff and is the most honest and direct person I know!
32 - Would you want them as an enemy; What sort of enemy would they make?
I don’t think so… sometimes we fight though. There was a period in High school where I thought he hated me and was ashamed of me… but then he got himself expelled beating up my bully.
YOUR RELATIONSHIP
33 - How did you first meet?
Haha, well, I guess when mum gave birth to me! He probably held little me as a bambino burrito in his arms, and I would have been like crying, and he would have been like “Grr, can I go now?”
34 - Are you friends?
Yes!
35 - Are you rivals?
Nope
36 - Are you Lovers?
Hahah, what the hell? What kinda question is that?! We’re brothers, dude!
37 - Do you love them?
Yes, of course I love my brother!
38 - Do they love you?
Yes, Blake loves me!
39 - Who, if anyone, do you think they are in love with?
He was in love with Mila, but I dunno what happened to her, cause’ Blake never wants to talk about it and gets super angry if I bring it up, so I don’t ask.
40 - Are they currently in a relationship?
Well, he’s started seeing a new girl named Jaclyn. I dunno if they’re official or not though, it’s only fresh! She seems nice though! She also likes cats, so she's good in my books!
41 - Do you like them?
Yes... even though he upsets me at times.
42 - Do they like you?
He totally finds me annoying, haha.
43 – How do you think they feel about children?
I don't think he likes children. Like, even when he was a kid, he didn't wanna be around other kids.
44 - What about their family?
Well,
I’m his family, haha! Dad was born and raised in Sicily, and met mum when she was travelling there in the 60s with her hippie friends. Mum was from Australia and they eventually moved here together and started a family here. So, most of our family is in Sicily. I don’t really know them well though. Dad taught me and Blake how to speak Italian so we could speak to Nonno and Nonna overseas, as they don’t speak English. Sì, parlo italiano, adoro cucinare cibo e coccolare i gatti!
Our parents are hella hippy! We even lived in and travelled in a bus for a few months! They didn't like being tied down anywhere for long, so we moved around a fair bit, from house to house, school to school. I loved meeting new friends in a new exciting place! I don't think Blake liked this though, as he was always grumpy and locked himself away for days whenever we moved again. During the time we were living on the bus, dad found a box of abandoned kittens dumped by a creek we were at, and he took them all in! I think that's where my passion for helping cats came from!
Mum and I always loved to bake together and listen to her favourite band, Fleetwood Mac. She like, never wears shoes. She's
that hippie! She also made beaded jewellery as a hobby and income while dad was away. Dad wasn't home a lot, cause' he drove tour buses, but mum and dad still had a really close bond with each other.
...But then... a-about a year ago, mum and dad went missing when they went overseas... we haven't seen or heard from them since, but I'm trying to stay positive ...I'm hoping they just got lost in a forest and had to start a new life there, or something... They're such nice people, no one would want to hurt them. ...I hope not.
45 – And finally. If you could change one thing about them, what would it be?
I just wish he would have more faith in me…
