5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions about either themselves or their characters.




1] When did she first discover she could sing, and did she feel naturally called to the theatre or was she unsure of it?
She discovered she could sing at rather a young age as she would sing along to the songs her mother played on her harpsichord. Her father saw the potential and enrolled her in one of the many conservatories when she was just eight. Sabana did not feel a natural call towards the theatre, although she did feel a natural pull towards attention. When she found out that being on stage could get here the attention she craved she became much more interested in it.

2] She says she prefers younger men - but how young is too young? What would she prefer, marrying a younger man to simply be in charge of him, or marrying an older man?
Anything less than seven years younger than her and she feels uncomfortable. She especially likes men who are in awe of her as her Opera Diva self and so could settle quite happily for an older man if he where willing to support her and follow her around. She would though take younger lovers, she finds they have more passion.

3] It says in her info that she is bisexual, but when and how did she first discover her attraction to women? Was it something she embraced or something she simply came to terms with?
Sabana discovered her attraction to other women when she was a young girl at the conservatory. It seemed an almost natural progression of sexual exploration between them, after all they where together every day and every night, ate together, sang and slept in the same room. Although she has had fewer female lovers than male she did enjoy herself very much at the French court. It is something she simply accepts as part of herself. If she is still willing to marry then what is the problem with a few dalliances?

4] Would she ever consider having another child? How has the death of her daughter effected her personally? Sabana would love to have another daughter but it is probably a good idea that she doesn’t. She would treat her like a living doll, something to dress up and parade around as a miniature version of herself. However, the death of her daughter in France was horrible. She was a little under a year old when she caught an infection from the child of another mistress. That child recovered and Sabana’s did not. What she found harder than losing her child was the loss of friends who turned against her because it has not simply been her child but also the Kings’. She had to greave in private because her daughter was no longer allowed to be mentioned at court and it hurt her to be shunned for something she couldn’t have prevented.

5] Was she in love with the King of France, close to it or did she see it for what it really was? Were any of her friends rounded up and killed? Either way how does she feel about that?
Sabana was not in love with him. She was very fond of him, but with what happened after the death of their daughter she could never have loved him. Many of the friends she had in Court, other mistresses and actors, have been guillotined. Sabana is beyond distressed by this and she is more than willing to help fund Mercedes in rescuing any that are still alive.
