Hi, this is Lynn Spunk and I am here today with Quinn, who is currently embarking on a journey with our intrepid fairy. Luckily, he was able to take a break from that to come and answer a few questions for us.
Lynn: So is Quinn your real name or just a nickname?
Quinn: My full name is Graham Quinton Thatch, but everyone calls me Quinn.
Lynn: I see. Is there a particular reason you go by a shortened version of your middle name?
Quinn: I was named after my grandfather on my side of the family because my grandmother insisted that his named needed to be passed on to the first born son. My mom is not very fond of the name Graham and so my dad and her decided that they would call me by middle name which happens to be my grandfather's name on my dad's side of the family. The reason for shortening it to Quinn was because I think Quinton sounds too old fashioned.
Lynn: Which parent do you look the most alike?
Quinn: It is hard to say. Both of my parents have dark brown hair and I have blonde which is a distinct difference that most people will comment on when they see me with my family. I have been asked if I was adopted before and before you ask, I wasn't. My family assumes that I got the blonde hair from my mom's side as her dad has blonde or at least he did. I could have gotten blue eyes from either one of my parents as they both have blue, which is probably not too surprising. Actually, I think I look the most like my grandpa Quinton, which is funny because my dad looks nothing like him. I got a square jaw and my dad has a more round face. My mom's face is more heart-shaped.
Lynn: Do you have any defining physical features?
Quinn: I have a scar just above my right eyebrow.
Lynn: Look at that you do. It looks like it probably hurt, what happened?
Quinn: I was riding my bike when I was ten and my front wheel hit a rock, and in turn that sent me flying into a neighbours fence. Next thing I knew I was laying on the ground with a giant gash in my head. Had to get seven stitches.
Lynn: That does not sound like fun.
Quinn: It wasn't.
Lynn: Do you have any siblings?
Quinn: I have one older sister.
Lynn: How old is she?
Quinn: Twenty-six.
Lynn: And you're twenty-two, right? So that would be a four year age difference.
Quinn: Yeah, I am twenty-two.
Lynn: Are you and your sister close?
Quinn: As close as any brother and sister. She has that tendency to be bossy, and I like pushing her buttons.
Lynn: Are there any unique characteristics that you would say you have in your relationship with her.
Quinn: We never have yelling matches, which I hear a lot of siblings do.
Lynn: I am glad you can joke about your condition. Speaking of, how long have you been mute?
