about
Emerald is the wonderful webmaster of Akuseru.org. Her greatest obsession lies with her domain namesake Axel, a character in the video game series Kingdom Hearts. Her other fandoms include Digimon, Pokemon, Sonic the Hedgehog, Yuugiou, and Yu Yu Hakusho. I first met her through Kari, and since then we've become great friends! :D She's an amazing person with lots of dedication, so be sure to check out her sites, 'kay? <3 The following is a short interview with her:

How often do you play video games?
I'd say quite often. More than what I should, I think. I don't have a really great selection of games, and I have a tendency of playing through games like Kingdom Hearts several times. Other games like the Mario Party series also get played a lot with friends, and I play my older consoles a lot too, especially games like Ecco the Dolphin on the Sega Megadrive (Genesis) - A classic ^_^

What's a typical day (or week if you prefer) for you?
A typical day would be for me to get up, have breakfast, briefly check my emails (But usually not reply to them) and head off to work. After work, I rest for a while, have dinner, and then the rest of the day is random. It's usually spent playing videogames, watching a DVD, or sorting out my shelves with my personal collections on them.

Which fictional character(s) do you think you relate to the most, and why?
Ken & Axel really. Ken, I can relate to in many ways, especially the fact that I feel guilty very easily if I do something wrong, and it takes a while to heal. With Axel, it's the feeling of losing a friend who moves away too far out of reach to still be in constant contact with them.

You're stranded on a deserted tropical island. Which character would you want with you?
Probably.... Demyx. I wouldn't really want to bring along my favourite pyro to an area surrounded by water xD Demyx could help calm the waves around us so we could possibly escape. And if that didn't work..... Eh, he'd still be wonderful company to be with <3

Are you inspired by any webmasters? If so, who?
Ah, many. Far too many to actually write down. I'm inspired by all of my close online friends in some way, mostly because of their wonderful graphics and wonderful content. I also get inspired when I see shrines to minor characters that no one else has made a shrine or website about.

Are you a morning person or a night owl?
I think I'm more of a night owl. I never used to be, until I started playing the PS2 more than what I should. Although work makes me get up early, I still usually end up getting to sleep a lot later than what I should. It's also recently a more common time for me to check my emails and update my fanlistings, etc.

What type of music do you like the most?
J-Pop and J-Rock! I also enjoy Rock and Roll and Techno.

It's a gloomy rainy day and you're stuck inside. What would you most likely be doing?
More than likely starting a new game on Kingdom Hearts II, and experimenting with glitches. Depending on if my friend needs it at the time, I sometimes have an Action Replay to replace Axel with the team members, and I find it amusing enough to last me the day ^_^;

What's your favorite food? Favorite drink?
Ooh, Melon :D I love 'em. As for drink, it would probably be either Pepsi or Banana Milkshake. <3

If you could choose one fictional character to be your One True Love in real life, who would it be and why?
I'm gonna be predictable here, but Axel. I guess I can't see Axel being the type to settle down easily, and he'd be more of a wanderer, and that's really what I'd like too. Explore areas I haven't been to, and enjoy life living to the full. Plus, he's very loyal to the people he cares about the most (Provided his orders aren't in the way, of course - That could be the only flaw)!
