My names: Candace Jane, Lyla Dee, Karina Dar Juan, Galadrina, Alexia Darwin, Annie Jay (Guess which one is my REAL name!)

My age: 17

School: All-girls independent school in VA. That means I don't have that much time to write, but I try to squeeze in a few minutes every so often.

My favorite story genres: General, Humor, Action

Peeves: self-mutilation and blasphemy

Status: single

My worst problem: Some people besides my friends and family don't take my art and writing seriously until they actually look at my artwork and read my stories. They don't believe before they see. ...and even after they see, they still don't believe!

My favorite things to do: songwriting, fiction writing, drawing (Pencil art), singing, knitting, drama/acting, watching books on the movie screen, Lifeguarding, photography and photomanipulation, poetry, and of course, partying

My favorite actors (and one of their appearances): Greg Cipes (Teen Titans), Elijah Wood (The Bumblebee Flies Anyway), Jesse McCartney (Summerland), Billy Boyd (Lord of the Rings trilogy), Josh Holloway (Lost)

My favorite actresses (and one of their appearances): Tara Strong (Teen Titans), Cate Blanchett (Lord of the Rings trilogy), Drew Barrymore (50 First Dates), Cameron Diaz (Shrek)
