   Q: What is your full name?

   A: Hannah Murray. I dont have a middle name

   Q: How old are you?

   A: Im 19.

   Q: What are your parents names?

   A: My mums name is Rosemary Silvester and my dads name is Martin Murray

   Q: Where did you grow up?

   A: I grew up in bristol which is a pretty big city in the south west of England. Its hard to say whtehr i consider it home or not. I definitely like it there and I miss it
   a little if im away for a really long time. But over the last year ive lived in London and im also going to university in cambridge. I think i kind of like not having only one place I feel at home in and like not having a place that i feel rooted to.

   Q: What is your earliest memory.

   A: Being in a car with my parents when i was two years old driving to a caravan site in france.

   Q: How did your parents choose your name?

   A: My parents wanted a germanic name because my dad use to live in germany and speaks german. They found out that they both had great grandmothers called Hannah so it seemed appropriate. I think one of the names
   they had in mind was Felix if I was born a boy.

   Q: What is the biggest trouble that you got into as a child?

   A: When I was at nursery school I was probably three years old a friend of mine and I tried to run away from it. I think we only managed to get down to the corner of the street or something.

   Q: What elements of the personality you had as a child are reflected in the personal style you have today?

   A: I think im still pretty scruffy and tend to dress down most of the time and prioritise being comfy like when i was a child. When I was little i was never really the pretty girl
   or the girly girl and i think thats reflected in how i dont feel like i really know how to dress up and be glamorous.

   Q: What are your favorite items in your wardrobe?

   A: I had a pretty large collection of t-shirts of ones id gotten as souveniers from holidays and places id been to and ones that my dad brought back from various trips hed been on. I wore them all the time and I think i liked them because alot of them
   had memories attached to them. I also used to have leggings, ones with stripes and polka dots that were really comfy and fun

   Q: Describe a memorable family moment (can’t really see this word in the image)

   A: When I was seven we visited family friend in hong kong. the main things i Remember are going to a market and seeing a cut off fish head that was still moving and locusts that were sold to people as food for their pet birds.
   It was quite humid and the rain was warm. A lot of people wanted to take pictures of me or stroke my hair because it was blond.

   Q: Describe a typical dinner with your family

   A: My mum and dad and i dont have dinner together as a family all that often. usually its only on special occasions like christmas and stuff

   Q: Do you share a secret (?) with your siblings about something that your parents never found out about?

   A: Im an only child

   Q: What was your favorite bedtime story?

   A: When I was little there was a book called ‘Dear zoo’ that i really loved. It was about someone who kept writing to the zoo and asking if they could take animals home for pets. And they did but they had to send them back because they were too scary like the lion or too big
   like the elephant. In the end, they just got a puppy and it was perfect.

   Q: Whats the worst thing about growing up?

   A: The feeling you get from the number of people who think of you as unimportant or unintelligent and patronise you because youre a child or even because your just young. Im 19 and that feeling still hasnt totally gone away.

   Q: Can you describe your room?

   A: When I was a child my room had liliac walls which I didnt really like. But it also had a cabin bed which is like a bunk bed but with just a top bunk. which was quite cool.
