Palace Staff Interview - November 6th

[lunaology 3402]

Hello everyone! I'm Sofie, more commonly known as Sofieology and welcome to our fourth round of Palace Staff Interviews! After our last interview with @pinkiness, I noticed that I made a MISTAKE! Some of you voted very late 👀 and we actually had a tie. So, I’ve decided to give you all another interview for this week, to be fair. I am very pleased to interview today the amazing @CharlotteGrande75! Charlotte is one of our many Palace Moderators and has been a part of Palace since 2019. She is well known for her love of Arianna Grande, dance, and all around wonderful personality. She is someone everyone knows and kind and fun to be around on the server. Here she is, the wonderful CharlotteGrande!

[Sofieology]: How are you doing today Miss Grande?

[CharlotteGrande]: Hi! I have been doing pretty good recently, thanks for asking! ❤️ For those who do not know me, my IGN is CharlotteGrande and I am currently a moderator here on Palace! I've been on Palace for a little under three years and I have had the pleasure of being on the staff team for over six months! My favorite rides are TOT and Soarin' even though my favorite WDW park is Magic Kingdom! I'm on discord and the server quite a bit so feel free to say hi if you see me!

[Sofieology]: Now, you are a moderator here on Palace. Can you explain to everyone what it’s like to be a Mod and some of the things you are involved in?

[CharlotteGrande]: Being a Mod is honestly so fun. Once I was a dweller and learned a lot more about the server, I started answering questions in chat which led me to apply for guide! I am one of the OG guides as we call it and it was the best experience ever! I met so so many friends through the guide program and got to help out even more. One morning I woke up to see a DM offering me an interview for the staff team - not exactly what I expected to see that morning, haha! I had my interview later that day and 2 hours later, I was a trainee! Being a mod can be stressful at times, especially if there aren't many other mods on, but you get used to your job and how everything works; and once you do, it's super fun and you get to work with some great people.

[Sofieology]: We just came out of a huge weekend of Palace events and are now launching into another huge weekend! What was your favorite part of the Palace Halloween events? What are you looking forward to this weekend?

[CharlotteGrande]: I love love loved MNSSHP! It was so much to help out with since I could not attend last year even though Halloween has never been my favorite. #ChristmasIsBetter Sadly, I cannot attend most of runPalace this weekend as I have a dance performance, but I'm so excited to see all the pictures and hopefully I can come for the end!

[Sofieology]: While I know you love your job as a whole, I also know you love working a lot with the many characters on Palace! Can you tell us a bit about what you do and some of your favorite character memories?

[CharlotteGrande]: Yes, I love helping out our character friends when they want to visit Palace! Forky and Baymax are probably my favorites to help out with as they are both so funny and I love Baymax's "Ba-la-la-la". However, Forky can be a bit hard to manage sometimes when he just wants to jump on trash cans But overall, assisting with characters is so fun and one of my favorite parts of being a mod

[Sofieology]: So, tell us a bit about Charlotte outside of Palace! What is your life like outside of this server?

[CharlotteGrande]: CharlotteGrande off of Palace is so boring. Pretty much all I do besides Palace things is sleep, eat, do schoolwork, and dance. Every weekday I have either online school or in-person school, then dance, and then I try to hang out on Palace during the evening while talking to a friend who may or may not be mentioned in question 7 if I'm not swamped with homework

[Sofieology]: If it wasn’t obvious, you have a huge love for Arianna Grande. How did this love for her start? If she was reading this, what would you want to tell her?

[CharlotteGrande]: Oh my gosh, you have no idea. I love Ariana so much, hahaha. I started liking her when Victorious started on Nickelodeon so many years ago and the obsession never faded away, so here we are! Girl, if she was reading this right now, I'd probably lose my mind and I'd need about five hours to figure out what to say to her.

[Sofieology]: Now, you have gotten a lot of media attention and paparazzi lately, Miss Grande. The shocking revelation of a new development in your life has been a hot topic on this network. And I know that everyone reading this very line right now is frantically wondering - how’s @Aewo doing?

[CharlotteGrande]: No comment 😎 Just kidding! Aewo is doing pretty good! We've been friends since mid - May (I think, oops) It's kinda crazy to me how we are both from the same guide group, but didn't become friends until months after - how we met is a story for a different day LOL Anyways! Since then, we've been very close friends and then the word Aewolotte started showing up - no clue why! Won't spill the tea too much, but we're very close friends and that's all I'll say for now LOL

[Sofieology]: Important Question Time: Starbucks or Dunkin and why?

[CharlotteGrande]: I have to go with Dunkin' just because they are everywhere where I am from and my dance studio is literally underneath a Dunkin' LOL However, I am not a coffee fan and Starbucks' hot chocolate and frappes are so good, so it's almost a tie

[Sofieology]: Since you have been on Palace for a while, what are some of your favorite memories and experiences? Anything you are looking forward to in the future? 

[CharlotteGrande]: Every. memory. as. a. guide. In general though, I love making people happy on the server and creating magic. There's also so many funny moments behind the scenes. Live actor shows such as FNTM and EOSJ (fav event) are some of the most fun things to do and you create so many memories along the way during practices and rehearsals!

[Sofieology]: Is there anything else you would like to add?

[CharlotteGrande]: Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone reading this and for all the love and support I have gotten from my Palace family since I have been on the team. The Palace community is so amazing and I wouldn't change it for the world!

[Sofieology]: Well thank you so much for joining me today, Char! I really enjoyed getting to talk to you and I hope everyone reading had a wonderful time getting to know you!

[CharlotteGrande]: You're welcome! Please remember to take care of yourself and others throughout this crazy time and treat people with kindness ❤️ Bye friends!
