True love is______?: Hard to find, even in fairytales.
The best thing about playing a princess is_____?: Claiming the power of the position.
Who is your celebrity Prince Charming?: Channing Tatum. *swoon*
If you could be any fairy tale princess who would you be?: She's not a fairytale princess, but I love Pocahontas' story. She is so strong and I love how she communes with nature.
Which company member is most likely to be an actual princess?: Shunori's long, gorgeous hair reminds me of a real-life princess.
What would be the most played song on your princess’ iPod?: "Maneater" by Nelly Furtado.
What is your favorite moment of Royal Fables?: I really love the very beginning of the show where Scheherezade introduces the concept of what we're about to do and we see all of the princesses' stories emerge from her imagination.
