Down the rabbit hole, to Soul Society....
Name/Nickname: Maki.
Age: 21.
Likes: Books, music, movies, sleeping, writing, RPing, being with my friends, eating, spending money (especially on books), driving, watching anime, singing, history, mythology, astrology/numerology, magic, close people being affectionate with me, and playing video/computer games .
Dislikes: People who are rude to others, intolerance of any kind, clutter and disorganization, my job (sometimes), being ignored when I need something, feeling left out, being treated like an idiot, and being in a lot of social situations.
Strong points: I’m very loyal to those I care about, I like to comfort others and give them advice, I’m very generous (especially with money), I can be very approachable, am usually hard-working, and I have a creative and intelligent mind.
Weaker points: Fragility, insecure in my emotions, very shy, I’m lazy sometimes, I can be jealous and vengeful, moody, and I feel like I can be annoying at times.
Hobbies &/or Talents: Singing, collecting books, writing stories, watching anime, talking with my friends, playing games, driving… basically, a lot of my likes.
Favorite color: Dark blue. I am usually drawn to dark colors, and I tend to wear a lot of black and blue. However, if I usually need to pick out something color wise, it’s almost always blue.
Favorite animal: Cat; more specifically tiger. I love their independence, grace and beauty. They can be fierce, as well as affectionate.
Favorite season: Autumn! I love seeing how the leaves change color, and how it’s not too hot or too cold. It also means that it’s time for school to start again after the summer, and close to my birthday.
Mature or Immature: Very mature in general, but it often depends on the company. I often feel like the outcast in my group of friends, as I feel like I don’t know how to cut loose and have the kind of fun my friends do. But when I’m with really close friends or others that I care about, I feel like I can relax my guard a bit and be myself.
Leader or Follower: It depends on the situation and the person. A lot of times I will go along with what someone else says, even if I have my own opinion on things. There are many times, however, when I feel like I need to take a leadership role.
Outgoing or Shy: Again, it depends on the company. If I’m with very close friends, I can be incredibly loud and outgoing. However, most of the time I’m reserved and very shy, and you’ll be hard-pressed to get two words out of me.
Confident or Modest: I’m very modest. Even if I have confident thoughts about myself, I almost never say them out loud. I really don’t like talking about myself very much, and so I try to avoid it whenever I can.
Optimistic, Pessimistic, or Realist: I’d say realist. There are some days when I feel very optimistic about things, and others when I feel incredibly pessimistic. Most days, however, I tend to feel neither and just get on with the day-to-day stuff. Whatever happens, happens.
Low, medium, or high energy level: Medium, for the most part. It really depends on how much sleep I’ve had, and what exactly is going on. However, I don’t feel like I have high or low energy most days.
Goals in life: Travel, learn at least three languages, find something that I love doing and make it my career, be extremely content with my life, own a huge library, join a band and record a CD, write a novel, and possibly get married.
Favorite quote & why: You know, I’ve never really thought about this. I don’t have a motto or anything like that that I live my life by, but if I had to choose, I think it’d be this: “A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy.” I love reading, and I like the idea of being able to explore any possible idea through the written word.
Describe your personality in three words or more: My personality is very quiet and shy, in the beginning. I have a hard time trusting people and letting them in, so I think that’s one way of protecting myself. I am very kind and willing to listen to anyone, and I try to be as generous as I can (whether it be giving my time, money, etc). Once I have let a person into my life, I can be very loud and crazy, depending on the person. I also have a very sarcastic sense of humor, which I let out on occasion. I’m the kind of person who would rather stay at home and read a book than go out on the town. I love one-on-one interactions with people, but when I’m in a group, I tend to get lost in the crowd.
Favorite character & why: Nanao. I think that I relate to her the most, and it’s comforting to see someone with a personality similar to mine in such an action-oriented show like “Bleach.” I also think she’s a very fascinating character, as we haven’t really learned all that much about her.
Least favorite character & why: Mayuri. He’s really too much of a freak for my liking, especially since he’s willing to beat his own daughter and claim that he has a valid reason to do so. It saddens me how much he doesn’t appreciate his own family.
Anything else: You’ll have to forgive my limited (so far) knowledge of the series. I have really only seen up to episode 21 and other random episodes, but I do read a lot about it. I’ll get to finishing it, eventually!
