Aria likes Phillip Pullman, Anne Rice, Stephen King, John J. Muth, Utena, and the Books of Magic. She lives in the chimney. This dose not deteriorate her vision, contrary to popular belief. She is fascinated by old houses, secret places, abandoned buildings, the crawl spaces between walls, ceilings, and floors, and the many components of old colonial chimneys. Turning into a door mouse could help her to further her studies in these fields.
