-------
▪ Which animal would you say best describes your personality and why?
Golden Retriever, because I am loyal and will unwaveringly love.

Camille Veltre - she’s beautiful and strong.

Bachelor in Paradise (Shame)
▪ Name one thing you wished Wattpad hadn't changed and why?
Hmmm I would have to think about this one.
▪ Which author right here on wattpad within your writing genre inspires you and why?
Oh, geeze there are way to many good writers to only pick one.
▪ If you could be a tree which would it be and Why?
The oak tree. Because it’s strong and glorious.

▪ Reina, If you could trade places with any other person for a week, famous or not, living or dead, real or fictional, with whom would it be and why?
I'm not gonna lie. If I had the chance, I don't think I would take it because I don't even know how to be me and I've had 20 years to learn to be me. But if I really had to choose, it would be someone unimportant because me and a lot of real-life attention? That's a nopity-nope for me. That's asking for a distaster to happen.
▪ What would I find in your refrigerator right now?
In my refrigerator? Eggs. Dozens of eggs. I love eating eggs for breakfast. And you'd also find my ointment for my arthrosis because I like it nice and cool on my knee when it hurts like a b*tch.
▪ What's the one thing in your culture you take absolute pride in?
I'm from Slovakia and our culture is quite rich, I think. We're a Slavic nation and the traditions which survived the course of history can be beautiful and magical. My favourite part of our culture is the folklore dance and costumes. It's stunning and mesmerizing to see and watch.
▪ What led to @ReinaValenTresseder becoming @ReinaFoxx?
I have been Reina Valen Tresseder since I joined wattpad. But I got stuck one day and I couldn't move forward with anything. To me, Reina Valen Tresseder was a pseudonym, a persona. She was the girl I needed to be but couldn't be in real life. One day I woke up and realised I surpassed that stage of my life and Reina Foxx was born. In my mind, she's the woman I aspire to be (and I fell in love with foxes 😂)
▪ What can you tell us about your current project?
My current project is a dark fantasy novel named "Lady of Betrayal". It's the first part of a trilogy called "Wars for Veleriel". I wanted to write this story for so freakin' long. It's been in my head for years now but it's also the most ambitious project I ever attempted. The plot in my head is so intricate that even a small mistake could ruin the message and the whole story. I hope to finish the first part this year so I can share it with the world.6. Since 2017, I don't think I made a lot of progress. I did make some, but not as much as I would like to and I believe the project I'm working on will change that. I like the community on wattpad and I wish to be a better part of it.
▪ How has Wattpad your wattpad journey been since April 2017?
Since 2017, I don't think I made a lot of progress. I did make some, but not as much as I would like to and I believe the project I'm working on will change that. I like the community on wattpad and I wish to be a better part of it.

▪ What were/are the biggest struggles you had to face to get to where you are now?
Confidence. It's so easy to compare yourself to others and doubt yourself, and I think that really hinders how much you can develop. Trusting yourself is the best reassurance, because it means that external negative opinions won't hit you severely.
▪ We all have an obsession what's yours?
Well I know you're not the biggest cat fan, so I'm going to say food. As I'm abroad right now, I'm genuinely dying to just make a bowl of spicy noodles with some fishcakes. Spice... That's a whole other book of obsessions.
▪ Favourite color and Why?
Gosh this answer will ALWAYS change. Right now I'm really into my pastels, especially baby pink.
▪ One regret that still lingers in the back of your mind even to this day?
Ooh this is a deep question. Most probably it would be my anxiety and shyness from the past which have withheld me from certain opportunities. As a child/early teen I never volunteered to participate in things I was interested in, and that's something I wish I could've conquered.
▪ What have you been up to since sitting down with us last season?
I wish I could say something really cool, but honestly I've been dying with college studies, deadlines and general work. It makes publishing chapters more difficult, but a lot more of an achievement.
▪ The one thing you can't see yourself functioning without a month?
Again I'll dodge the entire cat thing, and I'll say company? Good company is so important because you can literally do anything unpleasant as long as there are interesting conversations to get you through it.
▪ How has Wattpad impacted your life since signing up April 2017?
Wattpad is just a complete opportunity. It's such a flexible platform for silent readers, vocal readers, and all types of aspiring authors. It's so user-friendly and recently there have been so many innovative tweaks (minus those pesky ads). I think Wattpad is a great source for trial and error when it comes to understanding a target audience too.
It was a pleasure getting reacquainted with you guys again even though a few of you I'm more than up-to-date with thanks to social media hehe. Thank you guys for starting this journey with me last year, keep striving, improving and flourishing with your journey ahead.
