Onto the question: Why is this forum section named after Slash? You're way more popular than him, right?

Another: Do you have luxuous tastes, or would you gladly settle for anything more common?

Next: Did you ever get beaten on the line by a sudden onslaught of powerful items such as getting panned several times in a row or whatever? Will you still take your loss cooly even if they obviously won by a stroke of luck, and have the nerve to brag in front of you as you're forced to slowly crawl to the finish line after recovering?

Question 1: Well, while it would be more accurate to probably make it Kaede's or Linda's Chit-Chat, I kinda figured since it already was under Slash's name that it wouldn't feel right if I just went and changed it. He's gotta shine somewhere, doesn't he?

Question 2: Depends on the situation. In the case of my lifestyle, of course I love having the luxuries that I've grown accustomed to, and I really doubt I'd handle a typical lifestyle for a prolonged period of time. Now, in the case of doing things with my friends, I do like to keep things simple, we all like how we go about doing things, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Question 3: ...I hate to say that if I got beat that badly I'd probably be leaving the second I passed the finish line. I hate losing, and a situation like that makes it all the worse. That has happened, and it's not a good feeling.

Slash already shines at bragging, isn't that good enough?
Glad to see you can enjoy simpler things, there aren't many people out that that could match your high standard life style.
I understand that you'd be mad in that case, if I happen to inflict such thing on a friend, I usually apologize for the cheap win, then proceed to beat them by a landslide in the next race!

Well then, back to the questions, got a oad coming this time!

First: Do you ever enter trick games? Are you still the best around when it comes to that? Do you like to show off your tricks during a race?

Next: Red seems to be the colour that you wear the most, is it your favourite? Any particular reasons for that colour, and would you be willing to try other colour schemes for your outfits?

NextNext: Every time Slash and Jam pull a prank on you, you're seen chasing after them angrily. Do you catch up and eventually beat them up, or is it just to scare them off?

NextNextNext: Ever had any romantic feelings for one of the boys? Do you actually think about such things?

Question 1: Yes I do, but I have to admit that even though I do consider myself the best snowboarder, I am definitely not the best when it comes to tricks. Sure, my tricks can look great and wow the crowds, but I can't compare to the styles of the other boarders like Jam and Nancy. Even Wendy manages to perform better tricks than I can. Still, that doesn't mean I'm bad at it, it just means I focus more on the race than I do on my tricks.

Question 2: Red is a favorite color of mine, overall though I would say both Red, Yellow, and Black do me the most justice. I guess that harmony of colors just seems to fit me the best.

Question 3: Ugh! I HATE when they do things to me, especially in public when it makes me look like a fool! I make sure to give them a good thrashing when they do that, but when I don't feel up to smacking them around, I do occasionally rage a bit to scare them off, because they certainly know what's going to come their way if they keep it up.

Question 4: Uhh... I'm not gonna answer that one, more or less because if I did say I liked one, and one of them found out about it, it could be used against me, so yeah, no answer to that one, sorry.

- Linda

LordBolt @ May 10 2010, 10:52:21 PM wrote: Thankfully you're now fit, strong and healthy, the unstoppable snowboard princess!

Question: So what have you been up to lately? Anything interesting going on lately, or just normal life in Snow Town?

Question 2: So you've got quite a nice arsenal of nifty tricks to perform, it must have been quite difficult coming up with those. Did you make them up yourself, or did the others tricksters (mostly Nancy, because Jam is not into helping you huh?) give you some advice? What about the names of your tricks, did you come up with those, and any particular reasons behind the names?

Question 3: You've often been portrayed mastering the fire element, do you think that would be the best of them to represent you?

Question 4: If a complete stranger showed up, claiming to be a better snowboarder than you, would you go ahead a face him to show him wrong, or would you just ignore it all knowing that he's just another show off?

Question 5: Are Slash and Jam still permitted to set foot in your castle, or have they been permanently banned after what happened at your birthday?

Sorry about the delay, I've been away at a convention all weekend!

Question 1: Mostly there's been some renovations going on at the castle, a few new wings are being built to expand the ever-growing castle into something bigger. I've been actually doing some biking since it's been warmer, I'll probably take a few trips down to the warmer climates too so I can visit the beach.

Question 2: The tricks I designed mostly on how I felt they represented me best. The simple Whirligig was designed since it was pretty much a showy type of spin. My Spinner added to the Whirligig's feel, but showed a lot more skill, and since it really is a lot more "Spin-heavy", the name just stuck. My Leap was more a way to demonstrate my control even after I've taken off from a jump, it's pretty hard to turn the body after you've gone off a jump, so being able to control it in mid-air is commendable. And lastly the Bourgeoisie, my ultimate trick, demonstrates to everyone that there's nothing quite as precious or valuable as a trick done by yours truly! Sure Jam has a good arsenal of tricks too, but I like to consider my best trick as a real treasure to me.

Question 3: I really do think fire suits me best. I admit again that I'm a bit hot-headed when it comes to my personality, and my rage is something to be feared when it spreads. Also like fire, while it may be beautiful and warming when near it, it can be deadly if you try to get too close to it.

Quesiton 4: Hah, do you know how many times I get that a month? I've had many people try to say that, and then when they try to show me up they end up making a fool of themselves on the first few courses, then bow out when they realize victory is impossible. I guess lately I'm a little jaded in believing that there's a better boarder than me, because, well, I've rarely seen it!

Question 5: They are permitted since my castle is still used as a course in some official races, but they do have access barred from certain areas, like my room and the private quarters.

- Linda

LordBolt @ May 20 2010, 10:10:13 PM wrote: Finally back, I can start the question asking again, and there's quite a few waiting right here, so let's get this done!

Question 1: Since you're rich and popular, and go to a public school, tracks and all that, aren't you afraid evil people could try to kidnap you to get a ransom? You must be an interesting for them, no?

Question 2: Do you invite your friends over when you go somewhere on holiday, or would you rather keep that time for yourself to relax on your own?

Question 3: Do you own any pets in that huge castle of yours?

Question 4: Since you're absent in the DS game (seriously, what a silly idea, taking out the best character...) who would you cheer for?

Question 5: Since you already own pretty much anything you can buy, what do the others give you for your birthday? And do you still appreciate those presents even thought you probably already own it / could easily buy better ?

Question 6: Uhm... Is Pamela's hair natural pink, if that's even possible?

Ahh, another list of questions, here we go then!

1: Kidnap me? No one would dare with how much influence my family has, a kidnapping of me would spark a massive manhunt for the people responsible for kidnapping me.

2: That depends on my mood and what type of holiday it is. I've had a couple of Christmas Days that I've preferred to spend with just my family, by holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving I prefer to have with friends over.

3: Oh wow, that's a bit of a list there. I have about 4 dogs, 2 cats, a flock of sheep, three rabbits, 6 birds, and a tank of fish. My family in total has more, like at the other estates and all, but that's all that I have in the castle.

4: Well, family dictates that I should cheer for Brad, but if I had to choose who to cheer for in the case of storyline, I'm going to say Jam. While he is not on the best terms with me, he's pretty much the least "changed" character in that game, aside from Slash.

5: Since gifts are pretty much easy to obtain myself, I try to look more into the original reason for why people give gifts, the thought of the gift. In such I don't mind if they get me something I already have, or something I can get myself. Besides, I can always use a more current version, and what better time to get it than as a present?

6: To be honest I've always seen Pamela with pink hair, and I have asked her about it before, she does mention that it's actually dyed that way. She's very quiet though about what color her hair really is.

- Linda

LordBolt @ May 23 2010, 11:32:17 PM wrote: Glad to know you're immune to kidnapping, we wouldn't want any of that to happen! Anyway, onto the questions:

Question 1: So, if you knew any kind of secrets about your friends that they asked you not to reveal to anyone, would you still end up spilling it up if there's any profit to be made of it?

Question 2: So I get Nicole's not from any class in Snow Town, but what about Ruby? Is he from another class, or does he just... not show up that often (thought that seems way too good to be true) ? And how do people who hardly ever show up like Pamela fare in class?

Question 3: If you were proposed a role in a movie, would you agree to it? Would you actually like that to happen?

Well, wouldn't say I'm IMMUNE to it, but yeah, wouldn't be too smart to kidnap me.

Question 1: Depends if they wronged me, if I found out anything about Slash, of course I'd make it public to make him feel a whole lot of humiliation. That's just him though, anyone else, so long as they haven't made me angry at them or something, I'd keep it under wraps.

Question 2: Ruby's actually in another classroom, he usually just comes over to strut his stuff and brag when he can. Kinda rubs me the wrong guy, but I guess everyone gets their thrills somehow.

Question 3: Of course I'd like to be in a movie! If I were able to get a position in a movie I'd love it and probably accept it immediately. Oh sure, I'd be a little nervous since I'd be on the big screen, but who wouldn't want to be in a big movie?!

- Linda

LordBolt @ May 28 2010, 10:34:44 PM wrote: Anyone who gets on your bad side isn't very smart if you ask me.
Anyway, onto the questioning!

Question 1: Is Mr. Dog always around to take care of security during your races, even outside of the big tournaments? If so, who takes care of his shop while he's looking after you?

Question 2: In the second game, all the kids seem thrilled when they are shrinked by Wendy's beam, but really, weren't you a bit afraid of being that small? It seems quite a bit dangerous...

Question 3: Would you rather like your tournaments to become famous, drawing lots of people to Snow Town and probably changing it into a bigger resort, or just keep things as they are now?

Question 4: So, Nicole doesn't live in Snow Town right? Are you the only rich kid around, or are they others that live in Snow Town too? Does Pamela count as rich since she's famous?

Question 5: Are you good at any kind of art, aside from, of course, your incredible artlike skills in snowboard? Do you enjoy art?

Question 1: Usually Mr. Dog closes up his shop when he's helping during an official race. He does occasionally have Coach look after the store if he's not busy, and thankfully Mr. Dog isn't a money-miser like most shopkeepers, so if Coach isn't available, as I said, he usually just closes the shop.

Question 2: I was fine with it until I came across the mice that were as big as a car to me. Small things and potential for great racing and trick opportunities, great; giant mice that could potentially see me as a snack, terrifying!

Question 3: I really think our races need a lot more publicity, sure it's nice having our "just us kids" races and all, but we all want to strive to recognized for the athletes we're becoming from this! Open it up to everyone, come see us at our races, join in if you want! Believe me, you won't be disappointed!

Question 4: Pamela's pretty wealthy, but her family isn't as open with their wealth as my family is. I don't see why she doesn't just embrace that fact of her lifestyle some more, Pamela's got a LOT of potential to be having school eating out of the palm of her hand. I guess she sees me as the kid already taking charge of things and just doesn't want to challenge me. Oh well, guess that just means I have free reign here in Snow Town, well aside from Nicole shoving her nose where it doesn't belong...

Question 5: Well... as much as I wish I could draw, I guess the only real art I could be considered "good" at would be designing patterns for clothes and outfits. I also do bring up some designs for some of the snowboards I use, but in the case of art such as drawings, paintings and the like, for some reason I just can't get a good touch on it. I do wish I could, but those ideas will just have to stay in my head until I can hire a good artist to put it on paper for me.

- Linda

LordBolt @ May 30 2010, 11:19:01 PM wrote: Oh yes, sign me in for the racing! I want in too! Not that I'd be any contest for you but you know, just for fun.

Question 1: So suppose Slash and Jam start a snowball fight, which is the kind of thing they would do, who would you choose to help you out and even the odds? Would you go for Nancy (even thought she probably wouldn't want to) or someone else (supposing anybody is at hand) ?

Question 2: Would you like to master ninja skills such as Shinobin's and Kaede's? Have you ever asked any of them to teach you any?

Question 1: In the case of a snowball fight, probably Wendy to help me conceive a cunning plan to put both Slash and Jam to shame for starting a snowball fight against me in the first place!

Question 2: To be honest the whole ninja aspect really doesn't do it for me, sure they're cool to watch and are amazing in skill, but that takes many, many years to master, and I'm probably beyond the age range I would need to even start training that sort of discipline. If anything I'd like to learn more about how they function, but probably not for my own practice.

- Linda

LordBolt @ Jun 2 2010, 11:18:53 PM wrote: *scraps the whole NinjaLinda idea* Oh well, I suppose we've got enough ninjas on the slopes already.

Question 1: What's the hardest to compete against : Shinobin and is ninja skills, or Damien when he starts cheating really badly?

Question 2: Do you and Nicole still dare each other, even if Pamela is around and might be scheming to get you both, or are you more careful about it now?

Question 3: Do you and Nancy always get along well, or are there some tensions sometimes? I'm guessing Nancy isn't always agreeing to your plans, but does she always fold and play along?

Question 4: Is the Couch Inc. also into the snowboard gear market or is it something completely different?

Sorry to crush your dreams with that idea, hehehe.

Question 1a: I personally think competing against either one always has a different twist to it, they always have a new method to try and beat you when you try competing against them because they try and find a new method to play on your weaknesses when racing them.

Quesiton 2a: Eheh... In the case of very drastic dares, we usually will only do that when we KNOW we won't get served with our own words back at us. In the case of simple, typical dares we still do that, no problem with that, right?

Question 3a: There's been plenty of times where Nancy has refused to do things that I want to do, and I can respect that. Seriously, if we always did what I wanted to do, I wouldn't really keep everyone as friends of mine, now would I? That'd be a very one-sided relationship and it'd destroy the whole friendship quickly.

Question 4a: They're more into making amusement parks and land development, which is usually why they tend to try and look down at the Maltinie Co. whenever they open one or two of them. While they don't hold as many tournaments or public events as we do, they usually do open more parks than the Maltinie Co. does. That's not saying every park they open is a snowboard park...

- Linda

LordBolt @ Jun 7 2010, 11:47:58 PM wrote: Glad to see you don't have the last word on everything, must get boring after a while.

Question 1: So, do you ever go to places owned by the Couch Inc., or does your pride make you avoid such places?

Question 2: What makes the star board so good? It doesn't really look like it could be used to board to start with, yet it's the most performant, how come?

Question 3: Do you sometimes use lower class boards such as poverty and ice board for a challenge, making up for their poor performances with your skills, or do you always go for the best gear?

Question 1a: As much as I'm not a fan of Nicole, I don't let that harm my view of the things that Couch Inc. actually does. Still, if I see Nicole there, I usually don't try and stick around to have her rub it in.

Question 2a: I'm not sure exactly "what" it is the Star Board actually does to make it such a fine-handling board, all Mr. Dog mentioned when he first displayed it is that it supposedly awakens the natural ability of its rider and brings out their potential. I still think that's a bit of nonsense, but nowadays I'm not so sure considering how well I've done on that board before.

Question 3a: I don't really like using the poor-quality boards, but on occasion I do use them for training. The Ice Board for example does help me learn to use the environment as a better method to get the edge in a race, give it a try sometime, you may be surprised taking that board for a spin for a while, it certainly has helped me in the case of controlling my turns and gaining some ground.

- Linda

LordBolt @ Jun 9 2010, 11:54:16 PM wrote: I'm sure using the Ice board forces you to go all out, you'll need that and mroe to win using it...

Question 1: Do you hold any special snowboarding record, like, a fastest time on a track, a best trick score, number of wins, or just some amazing feat? Surely someone as talented as you must have some unique records!

Question 2: Do you enjoy seeing fanart and fanfics of yourself on the web? Do you watch/read any?

Question 3: Are you ever too lazy to do something yourself and order others to do it for you?

Question 4: If you had a super power and just one, which would you choose to own?

Question 1a: I do hold the speed record at the moment for Sunset Rock, even Tommy has trouble getting that one because of the rocks on the course. I "could" get myself some more records set for each course, but I haven't gotten around to that yet.

Question 2a: Well, yes and no. I like the ones that are actually good and have some effort put into them, but I don't like the ones that stereotype me as a typical spoiled rich girl who gets everything she wants, those make me mad and want to chase them down Snowboard Street with my board.

Question 3a: Well, I do have butlers and maids to do all my housekeeping for me, so I guess that counts, other than that, I do pride myself on trying to do as much myself rather than have them do everything for me. Of course, if it's large-scale, I won't hesitate to have them help me with things.

Question 4a: Depends on this question, what limits are we talking about with this one? Because if anyone else had super powers I'd like the ability to be able to copy theirs and use it for myself, that way I can be more diverse and be able to accomplish anything I needed to.

- Linda

LordBolt @ Jun 14 2010, 11:32:03 PM wrote: Hmm, you'd be more diverse, providing you find the right power at the right moment though.

Question 1: So you're quite fashionable and have good artistic tastes. Did you ever think up clothes designs for any of your friends?

Question 2: Snow Town is your turf, but did you ever perform in tournaments outside of town? How do you fair in those, and are you well known even in them?

Question 3: You're really the best snowboarder around, you can handle any course ahead of competition, but what advice would you give to people who've just started boarding?

Question 1a: I've been asked that a lot, and sure I've come up with a few designs for the others, however many of the ones that I designed for the guys didn't go over so well, I guess they just don't appreciate good fashion sense. (As if they have a fashionable bone in their body!)

Question 2a: I've been to a few individual matches outside of Snow Town sure, but I haven't yet competed in anything widely known, mostly local tournaments in the areas that I travel to or am invited to. I've won a local tournament in Vancouver before, and invitation matches in Italy, and a localized match in the Colorado area.

Question 3a: First, you are going to fall off your board early on, very often. This is natural, make sure you get your bearing on the type of board you need to size yourself up on. As simple as this sounds, bigger people need bigger boards. This is very true, as the area you can control increases with how tall you are, or how you balance yourself.
Second, start slow and then work your way into your own style. Don't try and copy someone else right off the bat because you're more likely to end up hurting yourself than anything else. Further, as much as people want to be like me, don't try doing my tricks right off the bat until you understand how to control yourself on a board to be able to pull them off. My Whirligig, for example... you need to make sure when you go off the jump that you have sufficient leverage in the direction you're going to spin, if you're too lenient, you're going to end up landing it wrong and it's going to get ugly.
