[about you]
Describe your personality I'm a daydreamer with an overactive imagination; my head is always full of fairytales and silly things! ^^;; I'm super optimistic--I believe any situation can be a good situation if you have the right attitude about it! (Although I do have my 'moments of weakness', too, of course.) Unfortuately, I'm rather gullible and naive, and will usually believe just about anything I'm told. (Sarcasm is often wasted on me, unless it's really obvious. :D;;) But that also means that I usually trust people pretty easily! Sometimes I'm quiet and serious, like when I'm trying to study, and other times I'm super-duper silly and loud. Just depends on the situation! ^U^ I'm a bit of a klutz and a bit hemophobic, but I think I'm pretty responsible and I always try my best! Oh, and I really love cute stuff! ^^;;
What do you like the most about yourself? Uhhh...^^;; I guess my optimism? I'm pretty easy-going and I can pretty much always see the bright side of things. It helps me know that even when I mess up really big, I can always try to change and try to atone for what I did.
What would you rather change about your personality? Ohhhh...I'm sure there are lots of things, if I had enough time to think about it! Well, I guess I want to be more determined, because a lot of times I think, "It would be so fun to ____," But then I come up with some sort of excuse or just procrastinate until the opportunity goes away. D: Boo~
[meeting the parents]
Describe the relationship you have with your parents giving as many details as you feel comfortable with: My relationship with my dad is more like a friendship than a father-daughter relationship, I guess. :D I'm old enough to mostly take care of myself and make my own decisions, but I can still come to him with my problems. My dad's a very logical guy and he's really smart, plus he's usually really thoughtful of other people and he always tries to do what's right. I really value his opinion, and he's always happy to help me. He's usually pretty busy, but I make time to be with him because I love talking with him. I always learn something new! When he works in the yard or around the house, even if it's not something I can help with, I go sit nearby so I can talk to him. We always go to church together on Sundays, and we like to watch NCIS together in the evenings. ^U^ He's very supportive of me; I know that he loves me and wants me to be happy. He always tells me that if I really want something, I should go for it and not let anything stop me. He wants me to have fun and be adventurous while I'm young and don't have as many responsibilities. And he makes silly jokes too, which is super cute!
My relationship with my mom is a bit more complicated. She can be a bit stubborn and immature at times... She's a very emotional person and she gets offended easily. I guess I'm not sensitive enough, because sometimes we clash. But she loves me and she always does her best to take care of me. :D It just takes effort to get along with her sometimes. xD
I have a lot of responsibilites around the house. My dad and mom run their own business, plus, my mom's still homeschooling my two younger siblings. (My older brother and I have both graduated already. :D) Add in driving my siblings to work/sports/friend's houses, and all the other little things like shopping, cleaning, helping with our remodel, and things can get pretty hectic. My parents are like always busy! Family is really important to me, so I want to help out as much as I can. As a result, I'm usually the one who drives my siblings places, cleans up around the house, and I also keep tabs on where everyone is, who needs rides when, what groceries we need to buy, who hasn't done their homework yet, etc. Basically I'm some mix between a receptionist and a house-wife. xD It's OK though, because I like to help! And I also have plenty of time to myself, so it's cool. :D
Would you change anything of this relationship? Uhh...I don't know, I guess there are a few things, but over all I'm happy. I mean, no one's perfect, right? xD
Do you see yourself moving to a faraway place or do you like to be close to your family? Definitely staying close to my family. Family is very important to me! I'd like to travel and see the world, but I don't think I'll ever settle down far away from my family. ^0^
What qualities do you think make an ideal parent? Ohhh...I don't know, that's a tough question! :O I think a parent has to be able to put his family first; to think of them before himself. That way he won't do anything that hurts them. I'm not really sure what else... .__.;; As long as he loves loves his family and is responsible enough to take care of them, I think it will be OK! :D
What do you think a (good) parent should never do? Hmm..push their own wants/dreams onto their children. It puts the child in the awkward position of having to choose between following her own dreams and making their parent happy. I mean, I think it's OK for a parent to have their child try new things and to want them to do their best, because it helps the child see all these different paths they could follow. But in the end, they need to let the child decide what they want to do with their life and then help the child reach their goals. At least, that's what I think. :O
What do you think is worse: over-protectiveness or giving too much freedom to the kids? I think they're both dangerous, but I'd say over-protectiveness is worse. An over-protective parent can make a kid feel like the parent has no confidence in them, and the kid might not ever learn to think for themself.

Describe the childhood you’d like to have in this kind of world: I might like to be the daughter of a noble or something, because that sort of lifestyle sounds so romantic to me; but I don't think I'd like to be a princess...I want to help people in some way, but like Ephraim, I'd rather follow my own path than be forced to become queen. (I'd be responsible for the lives of so many people...what if I let them down?) I'd want to be very close to my parents and do a lot of things with them, like help around the house and study/train with them. I really like reading and learning new things, so it would be great if I had parents who could teach me lots of things, or at least afford to hire someone else teach me. Maybe I'd even study light magic or staves! :D I'd like to be able to play and explore with my friends/family and learn new things.
Do you see yourself following the family business or going your own path? That depends on what business my family is in, of course! If it's something that sounds fun, then yeah, I might follow in my parents' footsteps. But I'm not going to stick with the family business just because it's the family business. When it comes down to it, I'm going to follow my own dreams! ^0^
A war is about to start: your parent wants to support one of the countries, but you think that’s a mistake. What do you do? Well, I'd listen to their reasons; maybe they've thought about something that I haven't. It's very possible that I could be wrong. But if I talk to them, and it still feels wrong to me, then I'm going to support the country that I think is right. I'm not going to fight for a country just because my parents support them. I would try to talk to them about it, but I know that in the end it's ultimately their decision, no matter how hard it is on me...
Your best friend is in trouble and needs you! Your parent thinks you shouldn’t get involved, do you still go to help even if that means having a big argument with your parent? I'd listen to my parents reasons, and maybe alter my plans if they make a good point, but I'd definitely help my friend! The only thing that could make me stay is if my family needed my help more than my friend did.
Like it happens to every good hero, your parent is tragically killed. Do you search for revenge or try to move on? ....D: Uh, well, I think I'd at least want to know why it happened. Not that it would make any difference at that point, I suppose...but I'd just have to know. I'm not the type of person to go for revenge, but I think I'd at least want to find the murderer and have him put in jail or something, just so that I would know that he wouldn't kill anyone else. And if I could get him to talk, I would really want to know his reasons for killing my parent. If I could understand why they were murdered, perhaps it would be easier for me to move on...
Anything else you’d like to share? Sorry that I wrote so much...! x__x;;
