Tui and Questions Answered

So, yesterday I meet Tui I had such a blast hanging out with some cool people and meeting some of you guys. It was such a surreal experience. 

I'll tell you the whole story first and then I will get to the answered questions. 

First, I had to drive six hours from Visalia to San Diego. The drive sucked with heavy traffic but my brother Zach came with me so it was a little more entertaining and I could go in the faster carpool lane with him since you need two or more people in the car to go in the carpool lane. 
After the hours of driving, we checked into our hotel room and I left to go to the bookstore where the event would take place. I got lost because I went to the back of the store instead of the front, well I finally figured it out and parked. As I was getting out of my Camaro someone yelled "Nice ride!" to me, I smiled and thanked them. 
I get into the store and it is packed. 
Wall to wall with people, kids, parents and everyone inbetween. So I stood towards the back and waited patiently with my Legends book and travel mug for Tui. Then these parents asked me where I got the mug and I said I made it, then I talked about my Redbubble store with them and they wrote down all the details. You now, promoting business.
Then finally Tui comes out, I'm excited as hell. She reads the first chapter of Darkness of Dragons and then goes on to answer questions. 
I knew a couple of people were fans and totally helped with asking questions that were on my paper of questions. 
Shout out to you guys for being amazing. I had a couple of hella tall guys next to me and we were having a blast giggling about people asking silly questions but all in all all the questions asked were really really good. 
So we get to signing and I am in the upper portion of the huge line. While waiting I talked so kids about the books, favorite characters and what not. 
Finally, it's my turn to meet Tui. I am about to squeal my fangirl pants off. Shaky from nervousness I start talking too much, I think. 
I gave her my travel mug and say I drew this and she freaking loves it. She asks me if I have an art website and I had it written down on a sticky note for her. She signs my book and I tell her I am writing a fanfic about if Darkstalker taking over Pyrriha, she said she would have loved to write another book about him. I also asked her about Orca but I will get to that answer later. 
After that, I hung out with some fans and talked a lot with them. I loved meeting you guys, it brought me so much joy seeing you guys. You were all amazing.
After the signing Tui said she would talk to us more, so a couple of fans and I went over to her as she was signing extra books and I got the rest of my questions answered. 
Afterward, I wished her a happy time in California and wished for her to come again, she said she will soon. Then she thanked me again and hugged me. I smiled my heart out. She is the sweetest person I ever meet and I feel she could be my second mother. Her two boys were there too and they were so funny and amazing. 
I just had so much fun and I am super thankful for this experience. 
I just wanted to thank you guys so much. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to go. 
It was the sales from the 49 Adopts Challenge that funded my trip here. Just thank you so much for buying my stuff and being such supporting people. I can't thank you enough.

Okay, now for the Questions and Answers.

What exactly is the economic system in the Wings of Fire universe? Like what is the currency and or if each kingdom has a special money?
Tui: They don't really have a currency system. It's mainly based on Bartering and Trade. 

Who was the IceWing that breathed down Battlewinner's throat?
Tui: I don't have a face for them, but I would love to see some fanfics on that. 
(I told her about my Stratus who is Glacier's mate and King who did it, and she loved the idea) 

What is Orca's coloring? Was she Dark green with blue eyes?
Tui: Yes, she is dark green with blues just like her statue. 

Did animus magic originate from the IceWings in Pyrrhia?
Tui: I can't say because that will be giving too much away. 

Is Jerboa an IceWing hybrid? Or have IceWing heritage?
Tui: Hmmm can't say 

Did Orca and Whirlpool ever have a crush on each other and maybe possible mates if Orca had lived?
Tui: Haven't thought about it, I guess if Orca had lived Whirlpool would have tried to get with her. I would love to see some fanfics about it.

How big is Pyrrhia compared to North America?
Tui: It's pretty big, I haven't put miles on how big it is but it's bigger than North America and Asia. 

Does Whiteout have some type of foreseeing powers?
Tui: Yes, Whiteout has powers.

What is the culture or religion beliefs of each tribe?
Tui: I haven't thought about it too much. I know each tribe has their Myths and Legends that they tell and believe. Especially the SkyWings, but Scarlet, while she was reining, took away those beliefs.

Can granddaughters challenge for the throne? If so will Queen Coral have a huge problem with heirs for the throne in the future due to her many sons?
Tui: Yes, Coral has not thought that far yet, but she will have a bad problem with too many heirs in the future. 

What are the size differences between each tribe? Like what tribe is the largest all the way to the smallest?
Tui: They are all the same size, it just depends on age for who is taller or shorter. 

Can RainWings’ eye color change?
Tui: I have thought about this and was thinking it would be a good idea for their eyes to change color too.

Will be learning about the new continent and possible new tribes in the future?
Tui: I can't say too much about it.

Tui: Yes, everything is dragonsize. Some animals are bigger too than on Earth.

What is the age to human years?
Tui: Well, four to seven are teens, seven to eight are young adults, and everything above adults. 

How does the Moon cycle work?
I wasn't able to ask this one :/ I'm sorry.

Overall, I learned a lot. Hopefully, she will come back to California again so I can ask her more in the future :3

If I miss said anything and you were there, please tell me so I can fix it. A lot of this was scribbled down on a piece of paper lol
