Darcy Devin Huntington Shimmerscale. You may have seen her on the stage with a guitar, or sitting on the bar top with a drink, regaling the patrons with fabulous tales about her life. But what do you really know about this sassy redhead" Settle in with that cup of coffee and learn more about Darcy Shimmerscale.

1> How long have you been in RhyDin"

"About a year now."

2> What is the one thing about life in RhyDin that you love"

"I just have to pick one thing?" She gives a small chuckle, "Well I don't just love one thing I love everything. But if I had to choose I would say the citizens. From our heroes to our villains it's the people of Rhy'Din that make it what it is."

3> Is there anything about RhyDin that you would change"

"Well maybe the crazy weather changes" Yeah...That would be it." Giggling a bit.

4> It's widely known that you run the Jello Wrestling League. Can you tell us why you got involved with that'

"Let me correct you on that one. I'm co-president of the Jello Wrestling League. My best friend and fellow partner in crime Mayverdia Aleta runs that madhouse. Now as to why I got involved" Well simply because May and I wanted to bring something different to the table so to speak. It's not all just about pretty scantily clad women wrestling in Jello for men's entertainment. Sure it may seem like that on the surface but really it's deeper than that. We at the Jello league are a close knit group. We look after one another and are there for each other in our time of dire need. We are a support system for each other and without one another the Jello League wouldn't be what it is today. Of course the fans help make it what it is as well. We just enjoy wrestling around in Jello as a good way to have fun and blow off steam if something is bothering one of us. But really we're a family and that's what I want to stress. Not that we're just eye candy but that we can hold our own. I mean I admire any woman that can best a man at anything. Which is why I love the co-ed matches. We are the strong Jello warrior women and we're here to stay."

5> What is your romantic status" We hear a lot of things, but would rather hear it directly from you.

"My romantic status is that I'm currently single. There is a lot of speculation about this. About me going from man to man and so on and so forth. I don't believe in sleeping with a man upon first meeting them unlike some other people in Rhy'Din. My last relationship got in the way of a lot of things I was trying to achieve. So right now there's nothing wrong with just having fun while focusing on what?s important. And what?s important to me is my family and friends."

6> What do you think makes for a successful relationship"

"Trust and loyalty. Because without those you don't have a relationship. Whether the title of the relationship is friend, family, or lover you need those two main components in order for it to work."

7> Who do you think is fascinating to watch'

"You might have heard this a lot but Tara Rynieyn. I consider her one of my best friends and I'm always kept on my toes watching her or being around her. She's certainly made my life interesting and I'm glad to be her friend."

8> What is something most people don't know about you? What do they miss when meeting you?

"Well now..." Pausing to think for a moment before she smiles, "That I'm deathly afraid of spiders. Really there's not much I fear but spiders are something I cannot stand. Every time I see one I end up screaming like a girl and standing up on a chair." She laughs now before answering the second question, "I would say that they miss who I am under the exterior I carry with me whenever I'm out in public. Usually upon the first meeting I pull off the whole 'I'm awesome and I like to Jello wrestle and drink men under the table' sort of facade. But once you get past that you can see the real me and that's someone who is loyal to those she calls friends."

9> If you knew you were going to be stranded on a deserted island - what 5 things would you take with you?

"Well now my brother to annoy him for entertainment. My best friend to help annoy my brother for enterainment. A knife. My Crowbatgun. And well Jello of course."

10> What do you admire most about your best friend"

"I admire the fact that she's put up with me all these years. That no matter how much I seem to almost screw up or get into a slump she's always there to pick me right back up and help me get back into reality. She's really good at helping me find myself whenever I seem to be lost."

11> Who is your favorite bartender"

"I have to pick one" Wow really' There are a lot of bartenders that I love! But the two tied for first is Eless and Serena. Eless because she's so sweet and I always feel so calm and relaxed talking to her. Serena because she can always make me laugh and oh because she made a drink named after me. When she's tending ask for an A La Darcy. You won't be disappointed."

12> Do you like sweets" What kinds of sweets are your favorites"

"Yes of course! What girl doesn't like sweets!" Are you mad?" Now chuckling, "I love brownies. I love the brownies I make. Baking brownies is one of my favorite hobbies aside from my other hobbies. It keeps me busy and really it's therapeutic. Cooking is good therapy. I fully recommend it."

13> Who is your favorite caller"

"Hm...Again with the favorites! I don't like to play favorites!" Laughing again she shakes her head, "Old man Tass, Rand, and Misty rate pretty high up there."

14> How do you feel about marshmallow"

"Well I love marshmallows! But they're kind of hard to wrestle in. I've tried it. I like throwing them at people when I'm not eating them. It's really fun."

15> How big is your tab at the Inn"

She pales a bit at this question, "You mean people actually keep count of this" I personally don't know. But Tara and I started this community program. Where those that don't pay their tab we politely yet firmly advise them to do so. We're doing this because we care about Panther and the establishment he runs. It's our little way of saying thank you."

16> Have you ever fed the stew"

"Yes I have. I've fed it many different things and people on many different occasions. I've also ingested the Stew and let me tell you right now you don't want to eat for a week or so after eating that stuff. I don't know if it's because it sits in your stomach or the taste. Or the sight of other food. I just know I didn't want to eat a week after eating that stuff."
