Rosa Garduno Character Quiz

And the winner is NATALIE L.

I salute you all. Thanks for sending in so many fun entries! I received 33 entries! Out of those 33, an eleven got 100% (either all right or missing one but filling out the bonus question). Here is an interesting bit of trivia. Those who send in their answers really fast usually miss quite a few (somebody missed 13 out of the 20). However, those who wait a bit and study a bit usually get them all right or miss only 1 or 2. Just a word to the wise.

1. Hope S.
2. Kenzie
3. Lizzy T.
4. Chille Pod
5. Ella Grace
6. Sara M.
7. Naomi F.
8. Ruth F.
9. Natalie L.
10. Micaiah C.
11. Jalaena E.

*Bonus Question*

I have collected three wonderful “visions” for Rosa. All of them are awesome. So, which is the “real” Rosa in your eyes? #1 – Rosa from the cover of Price of Truth? #2 -Rosa from the Look-a-like contest Round One? or #3 – Rosa from the Look-a-like contest Round Two? I love them all!

Most people picked #1, the original cover picture. Yay! Since there is nothing I can do about it anyway.
