rule ten attempted to summon his persona. unfortunately, it wasn't an evoker he reached for.
Name/Nickname: Laura
Age: Nineteen
Gender: Female
Likes: Psychology, history, good music, teasing people, sleeping, cats, reading, video games, the beach, summer.
Dislikes: Loud noises, bright lights, sudden movements...I get really jumpy when it comes to those things. I also don't like being nagged, when people are really rude, being ignored, liars, and people who are dishonest about themselves.
Pet Peeves/Fears: Pet Peeves: Boredom. I hate being bored above anything else. Also, being ignored, rudeness--you know what, just copy that last sentence in my dislikes into my "pet peeves", too. It's only natural to dislike your pet peeves, right? Oh, but I also hate excessive negativity. Don't sit around moping, get up and do something about it.
Fears: Being abandoned, really. I don't really want to get into it, but I have abandonment issues. And heights, I guess, but not heights in general--shaky heights. If I feel like I'm gonna be thrown off something, I'll panic. But if I'm on something even higher and it doesn't shake, I'm fine.
Hobbies/Talents Graphics, I guess? Oh, and test-taking. How much I study depends on the subject, but it rarely exceeds an hour--I have a good memory. I think some people would also say that I am pretty good at teasing them.
In high school, I had a talent for sleeping through class and maintaining a 4.0+ at the same time. I've found I can't really do that in college, but I felt it was worth mentioning. Oh, and I've also taken naps before on the theater catwalk, 40 feet up in the air. Really, it takes skill.
Strong points: People tell me I'm intelligent, calm, and laid back--though speak with me in a chat, and maybe you won't be so sure on the first point, since I'm rarely serious and often say really dumb things. I almost always keep my promises, and I've been told I'm pretty reliable. I also have a pretty good sense of humor.
Weak points: don't let people get too close to me; it takes a while to really gain my trust. I'm also pretty blunt, and sometimes pretty sarcastic, and I admit to being a bit calculating, secretive, manipulative, and I'm not too proud to resort to backhanded tactics--my morals are what they call "questionable", I guess. But despite how "mean" and confident and strong I seem...I'm not really as strong as people think. I'm actually really weak, and I depend on people more than I let on. I'm also a terribly jealous person, especially when it comes to those I care about. I'm also not good at expressing or explaining my emotions.
::This or that
Mature or Immature?: Immature. Only a truly immature person would admit to being completely mature. But anyway, I'm only mature when I have to be. I'd rather joke around and not be serious, and I still get excited about things like legos and stuffed animals. Also, I think my jealousy and stuff is pretty childish. But at the same time, I can buckle down and get serious.
Leader or Follower?: I definitely don't follow. Sometimes I like to sit back and just watch how things go without anyone leading, or with someone else leading, but if I'm unsatisfied, I'll take over.
Outgoing or Shy?: More outgoing than shy. I'm not the most outgoing person you'll ever meet, but I'm not shy--just introverted. But I'm getting better; I'm more extroverted than I was.
Confident or Modest?: It depends, really. Sometimes I have the world's hugest ego, and sometimes I'm surprisingly modest about things. But if I know I'm skilled in an area, I won't be modest about it--I hate it when people do that. When they're turning out Mona Lisas and going "OH I SUCK AT PAINTING..."
Optimistic, Pessimistic, and/or Realist?: Optimistic realist. I'm not all sunshine and rainbows, but I do like to look on the brighter side of things.
Low, medium, or high energy level?: Medium? I sleep a lot...
Listener or Speaker?: Listener, unless I feel really passionate about something. Then I'll talk your ear off.
Impulsive or Cautious?: Impulsive. I'm a risk-taker, I'll admit it.
Playful or Serious?: Playful, definitely. Unless the situation calls for it, I'm never serious.
:: Inside SEES
You were leading a very normal life until, all of a sudden, you find out about Shadows, Personas, the Dark Hour and the evokers! What is your reaction?: I'd probably think it sounded pretty fun! But I'd also want to know what it was all about--why are shadows showing up in the first place, what does it mean, how will my sleeping time be compromised, etc. I'd also hope my teammates weren't total idiots, because it seems kinda dangerous, and I'd want competent people to back me up.
SEES explain to you how to evoke a Persona. How do you react?: I'd probably think about the symbolic nature of the action, and then I'd think of all the great ways I could freak people out with it.
Would you join SEES? If so, what made you join them?: Sure. It seems like fun, after all. I hate being bored, so it'd be a good distraction from the ordinary.
::Overall
Goals in life: I'm currently working towards getting Ph.D's in Psychology and History and becoming a historian that focuses on the psychology behind historical events. I used to want to the a coroner, but there was too much math involved in that. I'd also like to live in Greece with a bunch of cats.
Favorite quote & why: "In matters of utmost importance, style, not sincerity, is the vital thing."
Anything else you'd like to add?: Nope!
