• • Reading (my favourite author is Malorie Blackman due to her thought-provoking stories, such as the Noughts and Crosses series. However, I also read other media such as fantasy novel series like Percy Jackson or Manga series like Dragon Ball Z.)
• • Baking (I love to bake as it reminds me of baking with my mother at home. My favourite thing to bake is Apple Crumble.)
• • I like to write my own short stories and create my own characters due to my fascination with character analysis and the way writers can capture emotion within their characters and the world the characters inhabit
• • Art (I enjoy drawing when I can, and the way art in media, such as Anime or animated TV shows, can capture human emotion through detailed facial expressions.)
