Name: Charlotte Buchanan Age: 18 Town: Windenburg Occupation: Student, will go to college soon Aspiration: Friend of the World Traits: Gregarious, Romantic, Neat, Bookworm Tell us a little bit yourself: I'm the only child to my parents, the Buchanans. Our family has been living in Windenburg for twelve generations now and we're known around town very well. That's one of the reasons why my upbringing turned out to be the way it was. The other reason was that my parents had to try for a very long time to have a baby. My mother was in her late 30s and my father in his early 40s as they finally had me. They tried to keep me safe from everything as I was the only child they had. And of course because they love me. I don't want to dishonest my parents - I owe a lot to them and I'm thankful for it - but it feels like they overprotected me. I've never gone to a school, not even a private one. My parents paid the best teachers in and around Windenburg to teach me at home. I've never had any real friends because of this. Of course I had contact with some kids my age but most of them were either relatives of mine or children from my parents' friends. A few of them were quite snobby but most of them were nice. And they were allowed to visit real schools. Everytime they came to visit us I asked them about it. Unfortunately, this caused them to think I'm special. *sigh* Anyway, I've graduated from "high school" a few days ago and I'm proud to say I'm the best of my class. *chuckles* I'm just kidding. But I had straight As all the time. Soon, I will go to college. Of course my parents only want to me go to one of the elite schools. But to be honest, I don't know what to do with my life yet. At least what I want to do for a living. But one thing I want to do for sure: travel the world and meet a lot of people and befriend them. From books I know that not everyone acts and behaves like our visitors and my family. My mother always calls those kind of people mean things but I'm curious to meet them, even if they will be mean to me. I want to see the world described in all the books I've read. The real world. Why did you apply? My parents applied me. It's a tradition in our family's legacy to meet your significant other at a ball explicitly held for young women and men to find their partner for the rest of the life. It's an exclusive ball, meaning only guests with a certain name are invited each year. My parents used to want me to find my future husband there but - for unknown reasons - the ball will no longer be held. My parents tried to find out about the reason but eventually had to give up. Their second idea was to host a ball by themselves but it would have ruined our family finacially. My mother was devastated, so my father tried to find a plan c. And that's when he came across the selection challenge.
