final fantasy xiii-2 theme
Name: Laura
Age: 20
Gender (would you be comfortable with being stamped as an opposite gender?): Female and yes, any gender is fine.
Describe your personality in as much detail as possible (links to personality types are very welcome, too):
Describing myself always makes me feel uncomfortable but... Well, as far as personality types go I am an INTJ, a mix of The Analytical & The Independent Thinker, Type 1, and a Scorpio. I am someone very distant, secretive, serious and introverted. A quiet loner but I have also heard people saying I have strong opinions, however I voice my opinions usually only when it's needed or I discuss something. I am also not the type who will force my own opinions onto you because even if i don't agree with you, i most of them time will respect your opinion, especially if you're my friend even if i know i am right. I am rather anti-social and i dislike talking about myself most of the time, so yes, i keep to myself most of the time. I am quite cynical and I don't trust people, expect a very few i hold dear. Thanks to being a cynic, i have a cold outlook on a lot of things which makes people describe me as such but there are also those who say i have a somewhat strong sense of justice. As for myself, I think my views are simply very rational and i myself aren't as cold as people think, just not too emotional and someone who follows her brains rather than her heart. I'm also pretty critical, logical, easily annoyed, honest, stubborn, rational, loyal, practical, firm, reliable. I am someone who is quite collected and calm most of the time but my friends often like to remind me of my berserk button. It's easy to annoy me, but it's hard to make me angry (unless you really annoy me by default, lol) but once you do... Even though, i am not reckless nor impulsive. I am cautious about most of the things. What I say, what I do, how I do it etc. I almost always think twice before saying anything to make sure I don't make someone feel uncomfortable or not to hurt them/make them upset, unless that's my intention which it often is if you anger or bash me. I am bad with words when it comes to certain matters (especially feelings) so i often tend to say harsh and unfortunately it's not on impusle. I have been told I am good with arguments if i want to, not to be bold (though that's nothing to be proud about anyways) but it's also pretty easy for me to manipulate others... I guess you could describe me as a bit manipulative. Lastly, I am somewhat apathetic about most thing things but I can be quite passionate if i really care about something. I don't get too attached to people usually but if i really care about someone, they become very important to me and I'd always put them before myself, even if i don't show it.
List some of your positive traits: Helpful to friends, loyal, strong-willed, honest, understanding, logical, thoughtful, determined (when I want to or when I something matters to me), patient, reliable, rational, realistic, collected, mature, good listener, observant
List some of your negative traits: Analytical, introverted, private, sarcastic, curious but not overly so, cautious, easily annoyed, rather stubborn but not overly so, serious, short-tempered, anti-social, calm with a berserk button.
List some of your neutral traits: Independent, cunning, somewhat mischievous, smartass when annoyed, perfectionist.
What are you good at?: Hmm, I am always able to come up with more stuff to make everything seem more reasonable and rational even if it isn't, coming up with good reasons/plans/advices, bottling everything inside, keeping secrets, being so cynical to the point people close to me think I don't trust them? I don't know, it's a weird question for me to answer. I am confident but i don't think i am good in a lot of stuff.
What are you not so good at?: talking about emotions or how i feel, being nice if I really want to be nice irl, explaining things (the moment when I always feel people should exactly know what I mean the moment I start talking about it. As much as I think of myself as understanding, this frustrates me to no end), being patient when I know i can get something done this right moment (i am a patient person but i hate waiting when I know i can get something done the very minute i sit here being told to be patient)... and tons of other stuff I'd rather not mention.
Hobbies, interests, likes: Mostly vgames, stuff on the net, technology, different kinds of traits and people? and many more.
Pet peeves, dislikes: Mostly I dislike overly selfish, stupid, idiotic, fake, ignorant, shallow, annoying, clingy, way too talkative people. Also posers... and those who accuse others of something while they should look at themselves first. Well, pretty much all the nonsense people can come up with. Don't get me wrong, i am a pretty understanding person but when it comes to people acting different just to be seen as cooler or whatever, my understanding drops to 0. I also tend get very easily irritated when someone is far too impulsive and doesn't think before doing pretty much everything. I also dislike insects quite a lot, heights, not tasty food, when you push me into doing something I don't want to do, talk down on me, attack me for no reason etc.
How do others usually describe you? Can be strangers, friends, family, etc.: Most people see me as a distant and quiet individual who doesn't like to get involved with them too much. Aside from what i wrote above: intimidating, sarcastic, somewhat snarky, too distant, cautious, smartass when annoyed, intelligent, "always in a bad mood", proud, intense in a subtle, non in-your-face, way. "Modest to the point where i hate people complimenting me".
Favorite...
Animal: Any types of wild cats, dogs. Also bunnies and dragons, reptiles like lizards and snakes.
Book: I don't have one -- I might not read much but i find each and every book I have read interesting in a way. Though I must admit I am rather attached to "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
Color: Different shades of blue and grey.
Food: Vegetables.
Movies: I like too many movies to have a favourite one but I usually prefer thrillers and drama.
Music: I am pretty flexible with that, mostly rock, classical and instrumental music though.
Game: I have lots.
Final Fantasy character outside of Fabula Nova Crystallis: Zack Fair from Final Fantasy VII and Tidus from Final Fantasy X, hands down.
Favorite personality trait?: Hmm that would be kindness. I think kidness is a really great but rare trait. I like it when people can be really kind, not only talking about how kind are they and not showing any kindness at all. I also appreciate maturity. I don't exactly mean people who are very mature and don't know how to have fun, or that I dislike people who are immature, i don't mean that at all -- it's just that dislike those who don't respect another person, feel superior towards everyone or act like a jerk/troll/whatever just to be one and that kind of immature people.
Favorite feeling?: Indifference, probably. I just like when I am balanced emotionally...if that makes any sense.
Favorite word?: The word "no".
Favorite quote?: Quotes don't play a big part in my life so I don't have one.
Favorite song lyrics? Can you relate to them?: That's too personal for me.
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: A pessimistic realist
Trusting or Cynical: Cynical
Emotional or Stoic: Stoic
Introverted or Extroverted: Introverted
Independent or Dependent: Independent
Organized or Chaotic: I would say I am rather organized most of the time
Cheerful or not: Not
Collected or Clumsy: Collected
Imagine you've been branded by Pulse, what would you do? Would you be scared and pessimistic, like Hope and Sazh? Optimistic and perhaps a little naive, like Snow and Vanille?: Hmm, It's hard to say but knowing myself, I would be kind of frustrated but I'd try not to get worked up over it since it's already done. I don't really panic so uh, I think i'd be able to take care of it rationally. I can't promise i wouldn't be angry but hey, anger can change into determination, right? Determination to prove they can't mess with me. I don't think i'd be pessimistic about it, per se, but confused and unsure maybe because there is no way to logically explain what is it and what can you do to ~fulfil~ your focus. It would be just bothersome because I'd probably question it way too much than its needed.
One of your loved ones died/disappeared and you have a chance to save them by accepting an offer from a stranger to travel in time, would you accept it?: That's another tough question. It depends how much I know why they died and disappeared. Who knows if I will even need a time machine to find them, who knows if this is even a real time machine, not some kind of killer machine, heh. I wouldn't trust the stranger but if there was really no other way for me to take care of it, I guess I'd have to give it a try and just try to carry it all out by myself and watch my back while doing so, to make sure I don't get in troubles myself so i can get another chance to save that dear person.
Answer honestly, would you sacrifice yourself in order to stop a raging war?: Nope, not really. It's not my style to just give up my life and think everything will be alright. There is absolutely no guarantee my life wouldn't go to waste since people are selfish and they'd probably start the war anyways. In such situation, I wouldn't be able to do anything in that war to prevent bad stuff from happening.
"Nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." Do you believe in this saying? If not, do you consider yourself a good or bad person? Have you ever judged somebody, thinking they're completely bad with nothing to like about them?: I very much agree with that saying and it's something i often try to tell those who are so judgemental. It all depends on whatever a person is thinking and their experience in life. Different people think differently, different people act differently and you can't just say someone is a bad person just because they don't agree with you or just because they might do something you consider bad. I mean of course, you can but think if that will make you a good person. Everyone has their own reasons, for them things you believe in might be bad and vice versa. People just tend to be too close-minded, judgemental and self-centred to even think others might have their own reasons too. While I do think people have the right to consider something bad or good, but they need more than that to actually call someone a bad person. Meh, I can go on and on about that. I'd say I am neither a good or a bad person, I am myself and if someone considers me a good or a bad person, that's up to them. Answering your last question, no, I never judged someone like that. I might be cynical and anti-social but everyone has some good things about them you could like. It's up to you whether you try to like them or not, I guess. I will shut up now.
