MAISIE
How many siblings do you have?
Three. I have one younger sister and then two older half siblings.
For this interview we will just be focusing on actual blood siblings. So you are the oldest of the two of you?
Yes.
What is the age gap between you?
I'm two years older than her.
So, do you think that you fit the description for a firstborn child?
I would say I am quite hard working. I would like to think I am reliable. I do enjoy being by myself sometimes but I prefer to be around people.
Your younger sister, does she fit the description for a lastborn child?
She used to be really outgoing, like weirdly outgoing but as she has gotten older she has become less so. Like she is very shy now. But she is very funny and has lots of friends.
HANNAH
How many siblings do you have?
I have three siblings. Two older sisters and one younger.
Whats the gap between you and your sisters?
My oldest sister is 22 and my youngest is 16. So the gap between them is 6 years, but between each of us there is just under/over two years.
So, where on the birth order do you come?
Well I am a middle born, but I am the youngest middle born.
Do you think you fit the description for a middle born child?
I am competitive, especially when it comes to sport. I am also loyal and big on friendships. But I'm not very lazy. I'm acctually pretty hard working. But, yeah, I'd say I'm quite oppisite to my oldest sister.
Let's talk about your oldest sister, does she fit the description for a first born?
Most of it is correct for her. She loves books and is always reading them. She's also very independant and organised. But I wouldn't say she is a black and white thinker.
