Tinsel's Interview with Mr. Zero

thumbSimply put this is an interview with Mr. Zero featuring Ikran's OC, Tinsel.
Transcript (Mr. Zero in bold, Tinsel is normal text)
From the special F-Zero GP venue, we're broadcasting an interview with the Grand Prix Champion. Okay then, I'd like to ask you something.
Congratulations on your stunning victory!
"Ah, shucks. I don't win these Grand Prixes very often. So, that means a lot."
Can you tell us why you became an F-Zero racer?
"It all started 13 years ago. I was fascinated before the big race and I wanted to join at the original Grand Prix. I hadn't raced again after that tragic accident in White Land. About a year ago, I finally had the motivation. And I couldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for my friends' support."
That's a great machine you got there.
"Ah, the Silver Comet. You could see the allusion as it glows across the track!"
I'd love to ride in that kind of machine just once in my life!
What was the key to your victory?
"As long as I have my friends, losing just isn't an option."
Your rivals are howling for revenge!
"Ooh...I don't like the sound of that. I hope my comrades have my back on this one."
A message for all your TV fans out there?
"If you can achieve an F-Zero race, you can make a difference."
The winner of the Expert Class. Congratulations!
"I couldn't have done it without the ongoing motivation from my comrades." She looked up as she was rubbing her neck in thought, "I was actually thinking that Rick, Falcon, or Leon might have won."
What are your plans, now that you've won?
"To stop Black Shadow and his Dark Million organization at all costs!"
How will you use the one billion space credits in prize money?
"I'll donate it to charity and help the less fortunate, especially to Octoman and Leon. And whatever's left over, I'll fund the Elite Mobile Task Force."
That is quite generous of you.
May I have your autograph, Champ?
"Sure."
I'd like to present this autograph to one lucky viewer on F-Zero TV! Here's the address!
Listen to that crowd! Do you have anything to say to them?
"Always follow your dreams and make them happen, no matter what."
What's the most important requirement for a racer?
"Teamwork and determination! You can't possibly win if you don't have both."
What do you do when you're not racing?
"Oh, the usual. Sometimes I write fanfiction, explore and revisit certain parts of the galaxy, or just chill or help out my friends when they need me. I also do some practice races from time to time."
Why was your machine called the Silver Comet?
"It was an homage to Hailey's Comet; I saw it once on a live broadcast when I was really young. And I stuck with it ever since. Plus, I like when things have a lot of luster."
How did you and Rick become so close?
"I've met him at Red Canyon while he was chasing Samurai Goroh, and I realized we were both F-Zero pilots. We have a lot in common, and I always liked competing with him. After hearing about his past, we were starting to bond overtime. Our attachment just grew stronger as we understood each other. And I hope that his scars from that tragic day 150 years ago would heal."
What are your dreams for the future?
"I hope that Rick and I will have a brighter future ahead of us. And perhaps win more F-Zero races, if the time comes."
I see. Thank you for the interview. That's it, everyone. We'll see you at the next Grand Prix.
== Trivia ==
* This can take place anywhere, but the best setting in the timeline can be after Tinsel's victory as she breaks her losing streak before Tinsel's Trial.
* The Silver Comet was indeed based on Hailey's Comet; the next is supposed to be seen on 2061, but Ikran doubts she'd be alive then.
* The interviews were the most fun things from F-Zero GX, so, this was created on a whim to represent Ikran's OC.
* Although there was only one topic per first place Grand Prix victory, Ikran decided to include them all at once.
* Feel free to ask any questions if you want to know more about Tinsel!
