But she's the princess (gag) and she's the one willing to live on land (double gag), so if those are the requirements then I'm glad to pass on that role.
Whatever, I'm over it. I have better things to do. Like introduce myself to you. My name is Dosinia Sanderson--everyone calls me Doe--and I'm Lily's cousin. My mom was her dad's little sister. (I say was because my parents died in a fishing boat accident when I was young. I'm over that, too.) I live with my aunt and uncle, but I spent a lot of time in the palace growing up. Listening to Lily this and Lily that got real old real fast. I used to be jealous, when I was a little guppy, but now I'm glad. I wouldn't want the kind of responsibilities she has.
Instead, I can spend my days shopping, doing lessons with the royal tutors, and mastering makeup techniques that Lily could never hope to possess. Merboys fall at my fins and I've had more bond proposals than I can count, even though I'm not allowed to officially date or anything until I turn sixteen in, like, days. For right now, I'm just enjoying being young, royal, and beautiful. But who knows what the future will bring. I only know two things for certain: it won't be on land, and it won't be with humans.
That's all you need to know for now, I suppose. You can ask me questions and, if I deem them worthy of my time, I'll answer them tomorrow.
Kisses and fishes,
Doe

Hey Doe,
Any tips on how to make Merboys fall at my feet (since I don't possess fins)?

Doe,
Are you sure you aren't jealous? Have you caught a glimpse of Brody yet?
Doe, You must have giant closets! Are they color coordinated?
Hey Doe
what color of eye shadow so you suggest for green eyes?
Cassie
Do you approve of Lily's blue lipstick?
Hey Doe,
Since you can't date anyone until you're 16, do you think you could send some of those merboys my way? I'm 18, so preferably someone my age would be nice.
Hey Doe Sorry about your parents though I'm sure you hear that a lot What's it like living in a palace and not having any to worry about things

Hi Doe!
Why don't you want to live on land? I sure that you can get even more boys to fall at your feet, and there's probably a much greater variety up here.
Doe, What's your favorite thing to do at the Palace?
Hey Doe,
Are there merboys pop group? And if there are who are your favorite? Its just a random question. I figured you would be the right one to ask.

Hi Doe,
Know of any merboy who might be interested in a human girl? ;)
I am love love LOVING these collages, T! Super fun interview series with a great visual to boot. You are way talented, baby. :-)
Happy to meet you Doe. Lily is lucky to have you. Maybe you could recommend another color lipstick for her. (wait, are you the one who set her up with that blue in the first place? Naughty move girlfriend!)
Hi Doe,
When you do get to date, where does a couple from your kingdom go on a date?
You have a really pretty name!

Hi Doe!
You may get your wish!--I finished Forgive My Fins (FINtastic!), and it sounds like you're going to be pretty busy in the next book!!!!
It's sad whenever anyone looses anyone, let alone a parent---I bet Lily could really relate to you.
But you don't seem to let yourself be a victim to anything. I think you're very strong.
You sounded so sure about your future not being on land or involving humans--Is there anything that would make you change your mind?
Hey Dosinia! Its nice to meet you! So there's this guy in my grade who we all *think* has had a crush on me for the last two years. He acts all weird around me so do you have any tips about how to… go about this? I'd be really greatful! Thanks! You rock! ~H
