Hey guys, I'm Kiara! :) So, I'm in grade 9 and I'm 14 years old. My hair is wavy and dark brown. I have grey eyes. One thing about me: I love music! I play piano, flute, violin, and a couple other instruments. I also sing. I'm also pretty athletic. One more thing, I'm WASIAN!!! (White/Asian?) Yeah, that's all I have to say...
Favourite Books: All the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus books, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Les Miserables (it's been my ultimate favourite since I was 8), Heidi (it's been one of my favourites since I was a little kid...). Some of my more recent favourite books are the Infernal Devices and the Harry Potter series, as well as the first in the Hunger Games trilogy (the other two weren't bad, but I like the first one best). But seriously, I should start reading more books that were written maybe THIS DECADE. Any suggestions?
Favourite Authors: The people who wrote my favourite books, duh.
Current News: I've been on fanfiction for a year! To celebrate, I'm writing a new story called Lesson 626: How to Love. The second chapter will be posted Wednesday. A new chapter for the Silver Owl will be up this Sunday, and there are some new PJO/HOO characters joining the story...
"It wasn't war. It was savagery."
Malcolm Chase, The Silver Owl Chapter 13: Impossible
"You know how teachers tell you the magic word is 'please'? That's not true. The magic word is 'puke'. It will get you out of class faster than anything else."
Percy Jackson, The Demigod Files
"Children of Athena should be wise, not just clever."
Annabeth Chase, The Battle of the Labyrinth
“With great power comes... great need to take a nap.”
Nico di Angelo, The Last Olympian
“Being a hero doesn’t mean you’re invincible. It just means that you’re brave enough to stand up and do what’s needed.”
Piper McLean, The Mark of Athena

QUIZ TIME
1. Grab the book nearest to you, and go to page 111, Paragraph 6. What is it?
The two men sat down on the appointed evening, and after being at first very talkative they became rather sleepy; whereupon they both leaned back in their chairs and were silent. When the old tower clock struck twelve, Sebastian grew bold and called to his companion; but he was not easy to waken; as often as Sebastian called to him he would turn his head from one side of the chair back to the other and go to sleep again. (Heidi by Johanna Spyri)

15. What is the last film you saw?
Les Miserables. I played Cosette when I was 6 in my school play and again when I was 9. The book has been one of my favourites since I was 8, so it was fun watching the movie :)

Give $1000 to each of my closest friends and family, donate 75% to charities (World Vision, Orphan's Hope, maybe one that helps prevent child abuse? Anything I feel strongly about. I have nothing else to spend a million dollars on), buy a whole bunch of books, and put the rest in a bank account.
