ON HER FAMILY: "i'm an austerlitz. one of the austerlitz. what else is there to say, really? we're practically royalty, and therefore have a reputation to uphold, despite the fact that some of my siblings continually attempt to tarnish it. as the youngest, i of course have a lot to live up to. that is, all the achievements of my older siblings, not to mention the expectations of my parents. weakness is not seen as an appropriate virtue for an austerlitz, and scandal should be avoided. people seem to think that we're uptight, but they don't understand. whilst the parents of some other old money families are quite happy for their children to run around acting like whores and humiliating themselves, my parents have always had great expectations for us, for our futures."
ON HERSELF: "i don't believe that perfection is unattainable. i've spent all of my fourteen years observing my siblings, observing my parents, seeing how i should act and how i shouldn't. i'm intelligent. i'm proud. i take great care in what i do. i want to be successful, i want to make my parents happy and not go 'off the rails' because that's what is expected of me. even if they never seem happy with what i do. i want to control all aspects of my life, but it's hard. at least one thing i can control is my weight, my looks, and well some say i might have a problem there, but they're obviously just jealous. i'm searching for that perfection. not that anyone knows of course. like i said earlier, you can't let people see your weaknesses because they'll use them against you. my father always told me that. so i'm not a 'nice' person. respect and trust have to be earned, and i only give those things to people i know well enough. i'm more mature than most girls my age because i don't want to be treated like a child. i love power. i love the feeling when you know someone has been utterly destroyed and you know you caused it. i want to be the best, and i don't care how many people i have to get out of the way to get what i want."
ON SCHOOL: "this is only my first year at santa croce, so i'm yet to experience it for myself. of course, i have lots of stories from my siblings, and over the years i've heard a lot about it. my parents say that the academics are brilliant, that only the best, the brightest (and undoubtedly the richest) are allowed to attend. everyone who graduates from here goes on to glory in some form or another. my siblings talk about the parties, the gossip, the popularity contests. everyone here knows my family. no one here knows me, but that is definitely going to change. hopefully this place will live up to all my expectations."
ON RELATIONSHIPS: "men are more trouble than they're worth. plus, they're all so immature. why in the hell would i want to date some monkey who thinks farts and sexual innuendos are funny? i want a challenge in a relationship, an intellectual equal.although bad boys do have that certain unexplainable allure, don't they?i don't understand society's fixation with so called 'bad boys'. they're obviously just coked up idiots, with a plethora of destructive habits and psychological issues. so i have been in some relationships, which have failed out of boredom on my behalf. unlike most of the female population at this school, who are undoubtedly loose, i'm still a virgin, and i plan on staying that way until i meet someone worth having sex with. and no, i'm not a lesbian, and whilst i am only fourteen and it could be restrictive to limit myself just to one gender, i've never felt any inclination towards other females."
ON THE FUTURE: "success. obviously. and university, of course. world travel, world renown, a successful career. marriage? perhaps. but i love to be independant. children? definitely not. they're disgusting, not to mention the whole birthing process is even more disgusting. unfortunately, being the youngest and female i'll probably never get a chance to inherit the family business, but who knows? a girl can always hope."
