What hobbies did you have when you were young?: I really, really liked reading. I was naturally curious, so I asked a lot of questions. I liked drawing a lot, and horseback riding. Tag was my favorite game. I liked any type of contest, where I might be able to beat someone.
... and what did you absolutely hate doing?: Physical, organized sports. I was an active kid, but I couldn’t really see the point of things like soccer or baseball. I didn’t like being told what to do, but at the same time I hated it when people didn’t approve of me. I hated going shopping.
To the best of your memory, describe what your general personality was like: I was very precocious. Any time anyone asked a question, I had to answer and be right about it. If I met any adult, anywhere, I’d go up and introduce myself, but I was really shy around my own peer group. I really liked talking to adults, as well, but when I talked to people my own age I tended to get very bossy and high-handed-hello, defensive mechanism. I really liked being the “leader”-I always chose what games my friends and I would play. I was very possessive, and would stop speaking to people if I thought that they liked someone more than me. I was very eager to please-the kid who did all her homework and raised her hand for every question in class. I always tried to make myself look better-smarter, prettier, politer-than my sisters so that my parents would praise me. At the same time, I was pretty reserved most of the time, and spoke in fast, concise sentences. I only got hyper very seldom.
Were you...
The type to get into trouble or obey the rules? Obey the rules.
Timid or outgoing? Outgoing.
Friendly or more of a bully? Friendly, but with a mean streak. (a very smart bully)
Mature for your age? Very.
More courageous than average? Very.
Ultimately, would you say you enjoyed your childhood? Yes. It was way better than being in this stupid, in-between teenager phase. But of course there were some bad times, but ultimately, I still remember that feeling of being fearless, untouchable, and unconditionally loved by my parents.
Was there anyone you looked up to? If so, what did you like about them? My elder sister was always my role-model. She’s the exact opposite of me-funny and charming, pretty and flirty. She has a lot of friends, so I was a bit jealous, and she was also my dad’s favorite-or so it appeared to me. She’d always bring home stories about her day that seemed right out of a sitcom to me, and I though, “once I’m her age, my life will be like that!” I guess I more envied her than looked up to her in a way.
Imagine you lived in your childhood in the Avatarverse. If you met Aang, would you honestly want to travel with him regardless of danger?: It depends on what side I’m on. If I was a Fire Nation child, I’d probably think Ozai was god and want to turn Aang in-I’m a fan of world-domination, after all. But if I was from another nation? Probably. I was a big romantic as a child, and an exciting adventure with the Avatar probably would have made my life. In any case, I would have wanted to be part of the action.
Have you changed much since then? If so, how?: I’ve gotten more cynical, more withdrawn. I think way more before I act, now. I’m more aware of other people’s opinions of me, now. I’m not as honest as I used to be. I have more shame.
And how have you remained the same, if at all?: I’m still very bossy, though a bit more understated about it. I’m still possessive and controlling and use multisyllabic words.
Anything else? Nope~.
