Marlee: Yes I have! He’s so cute. I don’t know him that well yet but I’m hoping I’ll get too soon

Landry: How do you feel about the Prince?

Marlee: I like him a little, I don’t know him enough yet to say anything

Landry: What is the competition like?

Marlee: Honestly… I’m scared.. All the girls are older than me so I guess I’m nervous because I’m the youngest

Marlee: Not yet! But I hope to

Landry: What qualities do you possesses that will make you a good Princess and future Queen?

Landry (Host): I’d like to welcome the next Selected to our show. Now, can you tell me a little about yourself?

Ana (Selected) :Anaea Belle. But everyone calls me Ana. I’m twenty, from caste number four, and Likely.

Landry: That’s pretty close by. What was your job before you got to the castle?

Landry: Maybe you’ll find yourself wearing some of those jewels someday. What is your family like?

Ana: Just me and my Mum and Dad. They’re jewellers too, and I learnt the trade from them.

Landry: I’m sure you’re wonderful at it. Have you met the Prince yet?

Ana: No, I haven’t yet.

Ana: I feel like he must be overwhelmed with all this, similar to how we feel…

Landry: Of course, but it’ll all work out. What is the competition like?

Ana: Interesting. I’ve met some really nice people so far.

Landry: Have you befriended any of your fellow Selected?

Interview #1: Kennedy Knight

Landry (Host): This year, we were lucky enough to get several celebrities on our show and in our competition. It’s my pleasure to introduce, though I’m sure a handful of you already know her, Kennedy Knight. The usual startup questions: name, age, caste, and province.

Kennedy (Selected): *laughs* Right, well, you kind of stole my thunder on the first one. I’m Kennedy as she said. I’m nineteen, a two, and originally from Lakedon. 

Landry: I’ve never been, Is it nice there?

Kennedy: It’s cold, very cold. But I like it. However, with my singing, I’m often traveling the country or centered right here in Angeles. I haven’t been home in months.

Landry: And what is your home life like?

Kennedy: My family was on the lower end of the twos for a long time, but once I got famous, that changed. My dad directs small films and my mother is an author. I send home quite a bit of money. I have a twin brother and two younger sisters. We used to be close, but like I said, I travel a lot.

Landry: Have you met the Prince yet?

Kennedy: I have not. I arrived late last night, my plane was one of the last in. I’m sure I’ll meet him very soon and I cannot wait.

Landry: What do you think he’ll be like?

Kennedy: He strikes me as kind of the opposite to myself, quiet and withdrawn, not really into the public eye. I miss the simplicity of that life sometimes. I think he could really help me grow as a person and be more comfortable in my own skin. It’s hard, when you’re always putting on a show, but I think the Prince is kind enough to help me be myself.

Landry: What’s the competition like?

Kennedy: I actually haven’t met anyone yet, but I’m excited to.

Landry: So you haven’t made any friends yet either. You will. What qualities do you have that will help you in the role of princess or queen someday down the road?

Kennedy: I’m very outspoken and sure of myself, but I also like my quiet private time. I think through my career I’ve really learned how to make decisions and manage a team and that would be beneficial as queen as well.

Jole: He seems like he’d be a nice and kind person.

Landry: I hope he lives up to those expectations. What is the competition like? 

Jole: It’s pretty hectic and a little scary.

Landry (Host): Tell me a little about yourself. Just the basics, your name, age, where your from, and your caste.

Novalie (Selected): Novalie Grace is my name, I’m eighteen, and a five from Belcourt.

Landry: What did you do before you come here? Fives are known for being very talented and I’m sure you’re one of the best.

Novalie: I’m a singer and dancer, I also play a little piano. But my favourite part of the job is the dance by far.

Landry: I’m sure you’re a wonderful dancer as well. What is your family like?

Novalie: Very large! I have two older brothers, an older sister and then a younger sister and brother. They are a loud bunch but they are great!

Landry: Now for the entire reason we’re having this interview... Have you met the Prince yet?

Novalie: I have! It was really great to meet him!

Landry: and how did you feel about him?

Novalie: I think there is a lot more to him than what meets the eye. I look forward to getting to know him more.

Landry: How are you feeling about the competition?

Novalie: Most of the ones I have met are very lovely! It is going to be very tough for Prince Chaol to choose.

Landry: I have faith that in the end, he’ll make the right decision. Have you befriended any of your competition yet?

Novalie: I have actually. I hope that we will stay good friends, no matter what happens.

Landry: The queen says she went still speaks to some of her old friends from the last Selection, so good luck to all of you. What qualities do you possesses that will make you a good Princess and future Queen?

Novalie: I am kind but also very resilient and determined. I make the best of my situations. And while I am from a lower caste I am a quick learner and adapt well so what I don’t know I will be happy to learn.

Landry: Good luck with the rest of the competition and I hope to speak to you again soon.

Interview #1: Eliana Corner

Landry (Host): I’d say by now you could probably do my job and ask the questions. And as usual, we’ll start with name, age, caste, and province,

Eliana (Selected): My name is Eliana Corner, I’m 17. I’m from Carolina and I’m a five, well I was.

Landry: A five. Does being from one of the lower castes make you nervous?

Eliana: Honestly, yes and no. I feel a bit honored to be selected since I'm from one of the lower castes but I think the real lucky ones are the girls from six and seven.

Landry: Six and Seven? Well, I can’t wait to meet them. And what did you do back home in Carolina?

Eliana: I was a piano player.

Landry: Now onto your home life. What is your family like?

Eliana: I’m the only girl. I have one older brother and two younger brothers who are twins. My father is a sculptor and my mother is a singer, an amazing singer actually. My twin brothers play instruments like I do and then my older brother paints.

Landry: And the prince? Have you met him yet?

Eliana: I have actually. It was a very odd meeting, but none the less a nice meeting.

Landry: Odd? How do you feel about our future king, then?

Eliana: I can’t really say yet. I think he’s kind, well what I’ve seen of him so far. But I can’t give a real good answer yet.

Landry: That’s okay, I’ll ask again later. *winks* What is the competition like?

Eliana: Pretty fierce, the girls are all gorgeous and kind, I think they’d make amazing queens In future.

Landry: How noble of you to say. Have you befriended any of your fellow Selected?

Eliana: Honestly? No. I’m a bit of a loner, I prefer to stay by myself and kind of keep to myself.

Landry: What qualities do you possesses that will make you a good Princess and future Queen?

Eliana: Honestly… Like what I just said, I prefer to stay alone… To maybe that’s not the best trait to have, especially saying it on live television where my mother is probably screaming at the tv by now. But I’m not sure what qualities I have that would make me a good princess or queen, well I’m honest so there’s one thing.

Interview #1: Liz Harris

Landry (Host): I’m sure you know the drill by now, but can you give me all the basic information about yourself? Name, age, caste, and province.

Liz (Selected): My name is Elizabeth Harris, but everyone calls me Liz. I’m twenty years old, in the second caste, and from Dominica.

Landry: That’s pretty far away. What did you do there?

Liz: I was a model, I love to dress up.

Liz: My family is amazing, my mother used to be a model and now teaches. My father is a chef and my little brother wants to teach too.

Liz: Competition looks tough but I hold high hopes for myself.

Landry: Have you made any friends with your new competitors, neighbors, associates?

Liz: Not yet as I've just recently moved in.

Landry: What did you do before you got to the castle? 

Siara: I was an actress

Landry: What is your family like? 

Siara: I’m an only child, my parents both work in the film industry. My father acts in and directs lots of movies and my mum mostly just acts, although she does help with set design occasionally on my dad’s movies. She is very creative. They’re both.. pleased that I got into the selection. They’re very supportive.

Landry: Now, everyone is most curious about this part. Have you met the Prince yet? 

Siara: Yes, briefly.

Landry: And?

Siara: He’s very nice. We have more in common then I imagined we would, which I am hoping is a good thing.

Siara: It looks like its going to be interesting. All the girls are so beautiful and passionate, any of them will make a wonderful princess and queen.

Landry: Have you made any friends?

Siara: Yes, I have made a couple of friends. I hope the competition doesn’t ruin our friendship.

Siara: I am used to being in the spotlight, from acting, so I can be confident in situations such as this and in front of crowds. I’m also used to functions, as my parents hosted many and I have been to a few premieres, so I have learnt the proper way to host an event.

Landry: Well, as usual I’m Landry Camden and this has been the Capital Report.

Interview #1: Arden Castillo

Landry (Host): We all know the basics, but to start this interview, we’re going to refresh the memories of our viewers. Tell us your name, age, caste, and the province you came from. 

Arden (Selected): Uh, yes. I’m Arden Castillo, nineteen years old. I’m a member of the third caste, and from Waverly.

Landry: What was your job before you got to the castle?

Arden: I was in training to be a lawyer. 

Landry: What is your family like?

Arden: My parents died about four years ago, so it’s just me and my younger brother. He’s ten. I was a little hesitant to leave him, but I know this is for the best. The money they send back will keep him going until I return. He’s staying with a family friend, but I can’t expect him to support Thomas financially until I get home.

Landry: Now, for everyone’s favorite topic: Prince Chaol. Have you met him yet?

Arden: Very briefly.

Landry: And how do you feel about him?

Arden: Well, I think I’ll take my time to get to know him before I make any judgments. But he seemed nice enough.

Landry: What is the competition like? Thirty-five girls is quite a few.

Arden: Yes, yes it is. A lot of them are very pretty and poised and would make wonderful future princesses or queens. 

Landry: Have you befriended any of them?

Arden: No, not yet. But I hope to in the future.

Landry: What qualities do you possesses that will make you a good Princess and future Queen?

Arden: I’ve been raising my brother for quite a long time. I’ve learned how to be a leader, a mom, support someone, and think about people other than myself. Experience like that isn’t something you can just learn on your own.

Landry: And I can’t wait to see how that turns out. That’s just about all we have time for but I’ll see you in the next Report.
