Describe yourself: 

1. What is your name? (feel free to skip if you are uncomfortable saying)

Christie. But I go by Echoflight, my Warrior cat name, or Echo, or Crispy, or Featherwish.

2. What is your gender?

Female (she-cat)

3. What are your favorite colors? 

Any shade of blue, lavender, lime green, rainbow! :D

4. What is your favorite animal?

I really love dogs, penguins, kittens, swans, baby polar bears, and pandas.

5. Do you speak any languages other than English?

I know some French and Spanish.

6. What country do you live in? If you live in the US what state?

Utah

7. Have you ever been to a foreign country?

Yes. More than I can count, actually. ^^'

WattPad you:

8. Why did you choose your WattPad username?

It was the first username that I ever used (on Quizilla and many other websites). I guess it's like my "signature." ^^

9. How long have you been on Wattpad?

Since May 4, 2012

10. When did you start writing?

When I was three years old. Maybe two years old. But back then I couldn't write very well (my handwriting was horrifying)

11. What was the first story you ever wrote and what was it about?

Uh...I think it was called "Rainbow Colors" and it was about a rainbow seal named Stanley who got teased for his different colored skin and he left and then he ended up in a zoo and saw all of these birds with rainbow feathers so he didn't feel lonely at all. I think I wrote this story when I was 3 or something.

12. Do you prefer to write your first draft on paper or on the computer and why?

Computer. I can never read my own handwriting because I'm writing so quickly because I want all of my ideas are piling up inside of my brain, I just can't control them, and I end up scribbling words that are illegible. I type on the computer because I can type 174 words per minute (no joke) and I'm able to hold all of my ideas without making scribbles. XD

13. How did you find wattpad?

I had a Quizilla first and some of my friends were quitting Quizilla for Wattpad so I decided to check it out and I got HOOKED!

14. Who are your favorite authors on Wattpad?

Oh StarClan...there are so many. ^^ But I do like DragonMaster409 (she has more stories on her Quizilla account), Mosswish, Feathertail, Tigerheart, XxSkater2Girl16xX and many other great writers that I have yet to discover!

15. What is your favorite wattpad book?

"My Wattpad Love", "Big Fat Liar", "Kidnapped: One Direction Fanfiction" and many others. I don't really have a favorite, but those are the ones that I read over and over and over again.

16. How many fans do you have?

15 wonderful fans. :)

17. How would you say is the best way to earn fans?

Well...make stories that can interest everyone. Make them original - not something you would read everyday. Make them different - but most of all, be yourself. A lot of people like reading creations that were made by you originally and not someone else. :) You can write something if you try your hardest! I believe in you all! XD Make sure that you can write in any genre as well (horror, romance, fantasy, sci-fi, adventure, supernatural, etc.)

Warriors

18. How did you find out about Warriors?

I first checked out of the library and I was bored because I was eight and I didn't really take a liking to it because I thought it was slow in progressing. But then a few of my school friends got into it so I began reading the series again and I hated myself so much for giving up on the series so soon.

19. What is your favorite scene and why?

Oh...there are so many...StarClan, help me!

Well...I really liked the scene where Leafpool and Crowfeather run away together. I thought it was so "Romeo and Juliet" like and I adore Romeo and Juliet. ^^ I also like the scene where Jayfeather yells at Thornclaw for taking his stick. XD

20. What about warriors made you want to start a fan fiction based on it?

I actually started my "I'm a Clan Cat!" story when I was eight and then I gave up on it. I got back to it when I was 12, and I began re-writing it again after I read "Sign of the Moon."

I also really liked Jayfeather and I HATED the fanpairings that he was paired with: CinderheartxJayfeather, StickxJayfeather, Half MoonxJayfeather, PoppyfrostxJayfeather, BriarlightxJayfeather...they made me all gag. So I wanted myself to be with Jayfeather since I was so in love with the short-tempered medicine cat that I just HAD To be with him. Yeah...I'm weird. ^^; And totally obsessed with Jay-Jay. XD

21. What would your warrior name be and why? 

Echoflight - After Echomist, the she-cat in Crookedstar's Promise (who was more of a mother to Crookedkit than Rainflower could EVER be to him or Oakkit) and Squirrelflight. I've always liked the two she-cats so I wanted to name my character after them. I tried so many combinations until I got "Echoflight" and the name just stuck. :) I will forever be known as Echo! XD

22. Who is your favorite character from the books that are currently out?

Jayfeather - I've always loved the short-tempered blind cat since the book he premiered in. I've always taken a liking to the "short-temper" rude type for some odd reason. XD But I also liked Jayfeather because he had his soft side too. ^////^

But another favorite character of mine is Firestar, Crowfeather, Hollyleaf, Feathertail, Leafpool, Squirrelflight, Echomist and many others. But out of all of them, I love Jayfeather the most.

23. What outside of warriors inspired your fan fic?

Hm...I don't really know. Not my friends though, because my story is about myself being transported into the Warriors World, so I guess just myself. I have to add my personality in the story so I have to be myself. I actually say aloud the words I'm typing whenever Echoflight/Me is talking so that way it sounds like something I would say. But my friend DragonMaster409 helps inspire me with her amazing ideas that help me whenever I have writer's block!

24. Does any one you know in person make fun of your choice of books?

YES. A LOT of people. Especially my two guy friends and kids in my English class. They make fun of WARRIORS and call it the "Killer Cat Community." And now they all assume all the books I read have something to do with "Killing," "Animals", or a "Community" of some sort.

25. What other books do you read?

Harry Potter, Maximum Ride, Hunger Games, SEEKERS (although it's horrible compared to WARRIORS), The Invention of Hugo Cabret, The Mysterious Benedict Society and many more that I could list but the list would go on and on and on and on and on...

26. What is your favorite warriors fan fic here on wattpad?

I have to admit there are a TON of good Warrior fanfictions. But I do have a favorite that's on Wattpad, and one that isn't on Wattpad. The one that I like that's on Wattpad would have to be Tigerheart's stories. They were amazing. And my favorite Warrior fanfiction that isn't on Wattpad but on Quizilla is by DragonMaster called "Spirits of the Great Clans."

27. Estimating, how many people do you know, in person, that also have read warriors?

9, all of them being my friends at school. :)

Other:

28. What is something about you that you think is something no one could guess even if they know you in person?

I have DPD (Dependent Personality Disorder). It makes me really Dependent and I can get depressed easily if I'm ignored for just a second. I guess some people wouldn't be able to tell because I always hide it with a smile and saying that I have "writer's block" when really I want to make sure that no one will make fun of my stories.

29. How many people are there in your family?

Just me, my mom, and dad. :) I'm an only child so...

30. Are there any other websites you use and would like to suggest?

Quizilla, no matter how glitchy it may be. XD

Fanfiction. I have an account on there where I started another version of my "I'm a Clan Cat!" which I wrote when I was eight, so it's the original draft on there.

31. Is there anything else about yourself that you would like to tell?

I just...I just love reading and writing. I feel like I get judged whenever I try expressing my true self to others. So...I express it through my writing. And it seems like NO ONE hates me for it unlike at school where everyone teases me for being too loud, or looking different from everyone else. So...writing is my passion -- it's the air I breathe. If I'm not writing, then I have NO clue what to do in life. I also get my depression out through writing--I would be completely and utterly depressed if I weren't writing. I get a lot of my emotion through my poems and stories so writing helps me vent. :)

32. Do you have anything to say to your fans and readers?

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I love you all! (not in the creepy way!) Without your support, I don't know what I would do. Your support helps me, and I'm glad I could have gotten so many beautiful and amazing fans. :)
