mysterious play!
Name: (real name if possible) Caitlin.
Nicknames: I'm the Satanic Lilac, because it's an anagram of my name, and because lilac is my favorite color. (It's an attempt at me being clever).
Age: sixteen. not so sweet, but there you go.
Gender: Female!
Likes: I like cookies. Also, I like books, pretty clothes, going window shopping, cooking, Doctor Who, the feeling you get after you've just done something brilliant, being needed, being relied upon, running around outside during thunderstorms, the way the world smells before it rains, watching the moon, hair salons, being able to tell repugnant people exactly what I think of them, dressing up, running around in dirty clothes, flowers, building something important, wood floors, miso soup, rain boots, and pretty umbrellas. Also, those shower curtains with ducks on them. I know that's not helpful at all, I'm sorry.
Dislikes: I hate spiders, I absolutely CANNOT stand them - I don't mind them dead, it's just that when they're moving...ugh. I also hate to eat octopi, because they're gross-looking. I don't like arguing with people, I don't like feeling useless, being ignored, or feeling like I'm the ugliest person in the room. I also don't like being mocked, losing a fencing match, messing up during a recital, grape nuts, bran cereal, or grits (ew).
Hobbies: Reading, writing, watching TV, running around with my family and friends, learning to juggle, brushing up on my cello repertoire for recitals, learning to tapdance, playing the kazoo (it's actually a heck of a lot harder than it looks).
Talents: I've won medals for my fencing and for my swimming (breaststroke only, though). People also tend to avoid sparring with me at my tae kwon do class. I'm going to be the first-chair cellist at my college in the fall. And I'm going to college in the fall. I'm also very good at talking to people and making them think I'm interested, even when I'm not. I can also scream very, very loudly - I surprise people with how loud I can be, because I'm fairly little.
Strong Points: I don't back down. I'm handy in a fight not for any physical reasons (most of the people I know can just pick me up and fling me around at will) but because I can destroy someone emotionally with a sentence or two. I can hoard information very well, and I'm good at figuring things out and putting things together. I'm protective of my friends, and even more so of my family.
Weak Points: I don't stand up for myself. I rely on others to fight my battles for me, so even if I look or pretend to be strong, I'm weak. I internalize emotion, so no one ever knows what I'm really feeling. I'll do horrible things for other people if it means that I won't be hurt, or it'll help me. Once you get me angry, though, I'll do terrible things by myself. I thrive on the attention of others. Also, I'm arrogant.
Favorite Color: Lilac, as I've already said. Raspberry is another.
Optimistic or Pessimistic: I'm a pessimist, because I find it's harder to disappoint a pessimist than it is an optimist. This way, when someone betrays me I can say that I saw it coming, and when someone does something nice for me, I'm pleasantly surprised.
Hyper or Calm or Normal Energy: I'm kind of frenetic. My conversation and my moods swing extremely rapidly, so I can go from screaming to crying to dancing around in a couple minutes. So, hyper.
Impulsive or Think Things Through: I'm pretty impulsive if I'm not keeping myself in check. I make a lot of stupid mistakes that way.
Outgoing or Shy: I'm shy, really. I'm not outgoing, and I'm not particularly friendly. I tend to be hostile towards people I don't know that well.
Mature or Immature?: I think I'm more mature than I actually am. Does that make sense?
Leader or Follower?: I lead because no one else will.
If you had the 3 wishes, what would they be?: Okay, first wish would be to get me far away from my family. I have problems with them, and I'm just glad that I'll finally have the chance to get out of my house when school starts. Second wish would be to help me fit in at my new school, because I can be a little socially awkward. Third wish? That I had a significant amount of money to give to every person in the world that needed it.
Favorite Character? Why?: Okay, I'm about to get mauled. Hopefully no one's a huge Nuriko fan, because Ashitare's always been my favorite character. He has not had the best life ever, I'm sure, and I just wish we saw more of him in the series than we did. It's sad that he gets used as a punching bag for the little bit of time we see him, because he seems to me a more redeemable character than, say, Miboshi, who's just effing crazy. "Ever since I was young they told me I looked like a little girl..." Poor, poor, Ashitare. My second-favorite character is Chiriko, because he's just an absolute sweetheart...and my third favorite is Mitsukake because, come ON, he's effing hot. And plus he loves cats. And fish.
So I guess I go for the underdeveloped picked-on ones.
Anything else?: I don't hate Miaka. I don't hate Yui. I actually don't hate anyone in Fushigi Yuugi, which is why I've stuck with it for so long. Normally, you can identify a good guy, and a bad guy, and leave it at that. It's a bit harder in this series than it is in normal shojo, which was nice.
Also, thank you very much for taking the time to read and rate me. It means a lot. :)
Pictures (optional): Um, haha...I don't really have any. Honest. My computer just blew up. I can describe myself, if that helps...I'm 5'6'', with dark brown, kind of wavy hair that falls mid-back, brown eyes, and glasses (my poor eyesight, she is gone). Since I swim and I fence, I've got pretty powerful leg muscles and a fairly athletic frame (read: no breasts or hips) and..um..I'm kind of tan. A little. That's all.
