Ahead of the movie’s theatrical release, we caught up Kristen and learned 10 Fun Facts about the newcomer.

Find out what she shared with us below…

• 1. I like to draw landscapes on large canvases, most of which include skies with color gradients. There is a room in my house that has my paintings all over the walls.
• 2. I have been ice skating for five years, and began practicing because I loved seeing it portrayed in anime. My favorite skater is Yuzuru Hanyu.
• 3. I have a pink bunny plush toy named Floppy. I named her after the “Bluey” cartoon.
• 4. My bedroom is all pink, which is my favorite color. I have pink bunkbeds and my plush dolls sleep on the top bunk.
• 5. I love watermelon, and I especially love to cut it in half and eat it with a spoon.
• 6. I hate black pepper because it is too spicy for me. I am not a fan of spicy things.
• 7. I received a set of Harry Potter books for Christmas this year. I am currently on the third book and I love it so much. I can’t believe I got to work with Rupert Grint on Knock at the Cabin.
• 8. If you look closely at my ears, you will see that they look different. One grows towards the back and the other grows towards the side and looks bigger.
• 9. I like to set four alarm clocks in the morning, all five minutes apart. This is not only to help wake me up, but to also help me count the time.
• 10. Summer is my favorite season and I love to jump into pools to stay cool!
