|1=# Q1: How long did it take you to come up with the character’s backstory and draw her?
- A) Zeta's backstory took a few minutes to figure out, maybe ten or a bit more. As for the drawing, I don't really remember how long that took.
# Q2: Where does her nickname “Probe Girl” stem from?
- A) The nickname stems from her alien abduction. Alien abductions sometimes involve probing so some people assumed she was probed.
# Q3: What was the reason behind Zeta’s and her father’s abduction by the Greys and why did they impregnate her with their DNA?
- A) The Greys had been observing Zeta's father and noticed that he was intrigued by them, so he seemed like an easy target. They took Zeta as well, because they wanted a younger test subject. Alien DNA was injected into Zeta for purely experimental purposes with genes.
# Q4: Where and how was she trained as an assassin?
- A) I hadn't really thought of where she was trained as an assassin nor have I figured it out completely, though I assume it was in an assassin's guild of some sort in London. As for how, her teacher taught her how to go unnoticed and told her not to use any weapons or powers that would draw any attention.
# Q5: Is she more hero than evil or the other way around?
- A) Zeta is usually straight in the middle, though sometimes she leans more towards the heroic side.
# Q6: Does she share any traits with you?
- A) Well, we're both typically quiet individuals. We also act calm most of the time and we both can seem stoic.
# Q7: As a freelancer, what kind of assassinations is she usually employed for?
- A) Most of the time, she doesn't assassinate major figures. She is mainly assigned to assassinating minor politicians or criminals.
# Q8: Does Zeta have a foul mouth? Did she learn it from her father?
- A) She can have a sailor mouth at times, but her father does not swear often. She probably gets it from her mother.
# Q9: What was her most emotional moment in life?
- A) Getting abducted as a child made her very emotional. It took some time for her to recover.
# Q10: Are Zeta’s parents proud of their daughter being a lesbian?
- A) Zeta's parents are fully supportive of their daughter's sexuality and are proud of her. So yes
