the girl's got soul
Name/Nickname: Hannah
Age: 20
Likes: I love writing - almost more than anything else. I adore stories. My favorite animals are cats - I love their quirkiness and independence. It feels really special when a cat loves you. I love food - I'm lucky I have a high metabolism, because there are so many gastronomical joys out there. I love Italian food, especially. Music is also a big part of my life. I love pretty much all types of music, though I'm less fond of country, really, really heavy metal and hardcore rap. I adore books, also; reading is a huge passion of mine. My favorite books are The Secret of Chimneys, Fight Club, Pride and Prejudice, and Good Omens. I love swimming, too.
Dislikes: I don't like the cold. If given a choice, I will always pick warmth. For some reason I'm not very fond of birds. I don't like people who are condescending or pretensious - I tend to get underestimated a lot, so it gives me great pleasure to prove such people wrong. Oh, and I really don't like people who won't admit when they're wrong.
Talents/hobbies: I'm a skilled writer, I'm a good swimmer, I'm very good at untying and untangling knots. I love music, and I can play the oboe - I'm currently trying to learn guitar. I'm also a great listener (does that count as a talent?). My hobbies include singing, scrapbooking (I love most types of paper crafting, actually), writing, swimming, reading, watching TV, hanging out with my friends, playing video games (even though I'm usually pretty bad at them), and writing - though that's more of a life's passion than a hobby. XD
Strong points: I'm intelligent - very, actually. I'm creative and I have a big imagination. I'm rather funny. I'm unfailingly loyal - and I have no trouble keepng promises and secrets. I'm logical - almost to a fault, actually. I honestly care about people and I want to help them; if someone needs someone to be there for them, I always try to make sure I'm there. It's not to make myself feel good, either; I really can't stand seeing someone in pain.
Weaker points: Well, being shy is a huge hindrance to me. I also have low self-esteem, which is no fun at all. I can get a little envious, sometimes - I think because I don't value my own talents/possessions/that sort of thing, I tend to wish I had qualities or things that people I admire and respect do. I'm also very resistent to change; I tend to be rather set in my ways.
Mature or Immature: I've always been very mature. I get along with people older than me just as well as I get along with people my own age. I'm very level-headed
Leader or Follower: A leader - but I like to operate from the sidelines. I'm very sneaky so I can usually get my way, but sometimes I don't want to be in the spotlight.
Outgoing or Shy: I have severe social anxiety, so... yeah, going to have to go with shy. I'm very talkative and outgoing amongst my friends, and I'm very social, I just have a problem with big groups of people.
Confident or Modest: Both. I'm confident internally - I know what I can and cannot do and I have faith in myself to do what I know I can, but I tend to be fairly modest, especially around others. Praise makes me feel uncomfortable a lot of the time.
Optimistic, Pessimistic, or Realist: Pessimistic. Good grief I'm pessimistic and cynical. I hide it very, very well but I usually assume the worst. I think, actually, that those are just paranoid worries and that when it comes down to it my outlook on the world is fairly realistic.
Goals in life: I want to be a psychologist and I'm in school to do that. If not that, then I'd absolutely love to be an editor at a publishing house. I'd also like to have a family. Oh, and of course publish at least one novel over the course of my life.
Favorite quote & why: "I only want to be free; the butterflies are free." -Charles Dickens
This quote is sort of surreal, which is one reason I like it. Also butterflies - very awesome. And I like the idea of freedom. I don't want to be chained to anything; I don't smoke because I'm scared I'll get addicted. I don't want to be dependent on anything. I want to be free. Hee - like the butterflies!
Describe your personality in three words or more: Eccentric, adorable, and caring. I base this on what my friends have been telling me about myself my whole life.
Favorite character & why: My favorite character is, without doubt, Isshin. I just absolutely adore him! First I liked him because he was hilarious and such a good foil to Ichigo. But then, when we found out his big secret - I was floored! I mean, I'd suspected something of the sort might come up later, but I was so shocked and excited when I read that chapter. He's so clever - hiding who he really is so well. I can't wait for him to come back so we can learn more. I absolutely love backstory and I think his history is going to be really interesting.
Least favorite character & why: Gosh, this is hard! I guess... I don't know, maybe Kurotsuchi. I'm not crazy about Gin, but he's got more depth. Most of the characters have some function in the story; there's no one that I just despise or anything.
Name one character you absolutely don't want to be stamped as and why: If you really think I'm like someone, then go ahead and stamp me. I'd like honest opinions; if I really, really disagree, I will just reapply.
Anything else: Can't think of anything!
