An insight into Val Tobin’s character, Ellen Haddigan from You Again

What are your favourite qualities in a man?

I respect a man who dedicates himself to his career, but he should still have room in his life for me. If we're together, I expect to have a say in where we live and how we run our lives. I also want to have serious chemistry between us. He should make my insides flip-flop when our gazes meet or our hands touch. We should share common interests too.

What do you appreciate the most in your friends?

Support for one another, affection, trust. I found all that in my best friend, Rhonda. She's always there for me, and she helped me learn about myself and showed me how important the little things can be.

What is your main fault?

I avoid confrontation and run from anything stressful or unpleasant--but that can be a life saver. Any fault can be an asset if you use it at the correct time, you know. What is your favourite pastime? Shopping and eating. Sigh.

What is your idea of happiness? Packages arriving.

If not yourself, who would you be? Jensen Ackles's pants.

What is your favourite colour and flower?

Purple and lilacs.

Who are your favourite painters and musi

cians? Monet and Billie Eilish

Who are your favourite prose authors and po

ets? My fave author is J. K. Rowling. I loved the Harry Potter books when I was a kid. My mom read them to me. For poets, I'd have to say Samuel Coleridge.

Who are your favourite heroes in fiction?

From The Lord of the Rings, Aragorn, of course. Michael Valiant from The Valiant Chronicles.

Who are your favourite heroines in fiction? Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter books. Also Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games.
