How I loved your peaceful eyes on me~
Name: Megan
Nicknames (no FFVIII nicknames though, as it might sway votes): Moog, Megzican, Meg...my friends like to give me ridiculous nicknames.
Age: 16
Gender (and gender-rating preference, if you have one): Nope.
Interests: anything artistic (drawing, painting, etc.), making random plans, coffee and tea on cold days, fireworks, family and friends, RPGs, cats, long walks, people watching, porn, random drives to nowhere, Taco Bell, Disney movies, pears, catching up with old friends
Pet Peeves:
Hobbies/Talents: I'm rather artistic and clever. I also love to write, but I never have enough guts to share what I write...or anything I do for that matter.
Dreams/Ambitions: I'm not really a dreams and ambitions kind of person. I take things as they come, because usually when I go in prepared, everything ALWAYS backfires.
Strengths:
-I'm often brutally honest and blunt. Though, in most situations people take my honesty the wrong way and think I'm taking cheap shots or trying to deflate their ego, while all I am trying to do is tell them how I feel. If someone asks my opinion on something, I often give them what I think, straight up with no bullshit. Though, it can get me into trouble, it's a strong re-accuring quality of mine.
-I have loads of emotional strength. Though I'm quite young, I've been through a lot. I've watched a close friend and many family members die, been back stabbed, played the backstabber more than once, got manipulated and I've grown from it all. I don't trust as easily as I once did and I often question things.
-I'd like to say that I'm rather creative and clever. I'm not as naive as I used to be, so I'm rather jaded and bitter when it comes to things now. I'm not a genius, but I can say I'm rather intelligent in some fields.
-Though, I often come off slightly cold through first impressions, I'm rather caring and defensive of the ones close to me. I guess it's a bit of a strength and weakness depending on who's looking at it and what the situation is.
-I have a lot of common sense and tend to make decisions better than most of my peers. I know what I want most of the time out of situations and know how to make the right decision.
-Surprisingly, through all of that I have a sense of humor and know how to laugh. Who knew?
Weaknesses:
-I'm usually quite reserved and keep to myself. It takes a long time for me to fully open up to someone due to my terrible trust issues and paranoia. I don't like giving too much information about my past or mistakes to people I've just met. I'm rather secretive.
-I cling to the past, almost like a security blanket. I surround myself with memories and often think and analyze things that happened to me in the past and whether I could have made the deciding factor or have changed it somehow. I could easily get over it, but I'm afraid that I'll forget it or become a totally different person in essence.
-In conversation, I'm not very strong. I often come off as stoic or uncaring when people tell me things. I'm also awkward when it comes to physical contact. It usually leads in me turning away from what I should do, which often ruins the mood or pisses someone off.
-I can be quite selfish. I usually look out for number one and in some situations a select few. It's a big downfall of my personality, actually.
-I over analyze. It's terrible. Someone could give me a compliment, and I run it through my head so many times so that it's not a compliment anymore, it's a personal attack. Which usually ends in me accidentally insulting someone again. Go me.
Optimistic or Pessimistic: I've come to realize I'm more pessimistic than anything. I have moments when I think optimistic, but I end up shooting those thoughts down because they always seem unrealistic or too good to be true.
Hyper, Calm, or Somewhere in Between? Calm. Do I really seem hyper to you? I didn't think so.
Impulsive or Cautious: Cautious. Though you can catch me being impulsive when I'm more than sure somethings going to turn out in my favor.
Outgoing or Shy: I'm neither. I'm just not a people person. I can respect people that I come in contact with, though that respect only goes so far. I'd never say "shy", just socially awkward or antisocial.
Mature or Immature?: Mature, though I'm capable of a laugh.
Leader or Follower?: I usually end up leading...somehow. Mainly because my friends are all lazy and never want to take the lead. I can follow though, if needed. I can also follow orders given. So I'm rather versatile.
What are the 3 top characteristics you look for in a friend? I never get my way when it comes to ideal friends because all of my friends have grown on me through time. Though, they all have certain qualities when it all comes down to it and that's probably why I keep them as friends. I'd say that I look for loyalty and trust, first off. I have to trust someone before I can even call them a friend. Intelligence is another. I'm not asking for super-geniuses, just people that are able to make proper decisions and do the right thing. My friends are also more talkative than me, so that always helps get me out of my shell.
Are you more of a lover or a fighter? A mix of both. If there's something I truly love, I'm most likely going to fight for it.
What's your fighting style (FF or RL-verse)? Long ranged, preferably. Maybe even mid-ranged if I'm feeling a bit more confident. I usually go into things with my overall safety in mind, so I really don't want to rush in and get myself in trouble. I'm a fan of magic as well.
Finally, if a situation isn't going the way you like, what do you do about it? Suck it up. It's obviously not turning out as planned, so I might as well deal with it wether I like it or not.
Pictures (optional):
Anything else we should know?: Actually, yes. I'd like to know why you're voting me a certain character. I'd at least like a sentence along the lines of "You remind me of so and so because..." or something like that...thanks.
