Kendra, a slim, mousy girl, complete with mouse ears and nose, walks into the room nervously, and settles into the big rocking chair, looking out at the gathered audience. Her hands smooth her blue skirt uncertainly.
“Um, hi?” Her voice is a tiny squeak. “Professor Pelletier said you wanted to ask me questions?”
Kendra is a character in the Addergoole web-serial.

Hello, Kendra! I’m B, and I’d like to ask you some questions, is that alright? Oh, good. Well, for starters, where do you come from? What did you like to do as a child? Is your Mom a good cook?
Kendra blinks, a little startled. “Oh, wow. Hi, B. Nice to meet you.” “Um. Well, I grew up outside of Charleston, that’s in South Carolina. My Dad and I had a house in the suburbs, and I, um… well, I was really good at crafts, I guess? And I liked cooking stuff. “I never knew my Mom,” she admits. “Dad never really told me where she went, and there weren’t any pictures of her around, but if Ofir is telling me the truth, well, maybe he never really knew her, either?”
Oh, sweetie. 🙁 Do you miss South Carolina? What was it like?
Warm. Not like out here. She curls up a little in the chair. I miss my bedroom. I miss my computer. Dad wouldn’t let me bring it. Ofir wouldn’t have let me have it anyway, so I guess that’s okay. I miss the sun. I miss being warm.
Oh, you had a computer? Did you use to play games on it? Did you have any friends back home?
I had a couple people I used to hang out with? not really friends I guess but they were nice. I was um playing with um. Yeah. I played games?
What do you think of your cy’ree meetings? Of your cy’ree in general? What about your Mentor?
I um… I like the cy’ree meetings, except sometimes they want me to talk. I don’t like that. They’re good people, though. They’d be nice to have as friends, I think. And Professor Pelletier… I like her. But I think she sees too much?
Professor Pelletier sees too much? What sort of sees too much?
Kendra squirms She knows things that are going on even if I don’t tell her. She can sort of, I don’t know, see what’s in my mind? And there’s stuff I don’t want anyone to knooooow.
Trust me, no matter who you are and probably no matter how old you are, there will always be stuff in your mind you don’t want anyone to know. Different stuff at different times, probably.
Really? this thought seems to boggle her.
Yes, really. Professor Pelletier will have things in her mind she doesn’t want anyone to know too. I can change the subject if this one has turned uncomfortable.
She perks a little bit What else would you like to know?
What’s Changing like? Hearing about it, it sounds painful and probably scary but what was it like?
It… it hurt, yeah. Sort ot like being turned inside out? I don’t really remember much more than that.
Thank you for telling me about it.
I’m sorry I can’t help more?
I’m sorry, I’m sleepy and I’ve run out of questions to ask. For now at least.
Hi Kendra, do you enjoy learning about magic? What is your favorite part about magic class? -Friendly Anon
She perks up thoughtfully. I love magic classes! Sometimes they’re outside, and I’m really good at them, and when I’m in magic class, I get to do magic, which is awesome!
