[The Basics:]
[Name:] Dal
[Age:] 22
[Gender:] Female
[Gender of your partner:] For the sake of this? No preference.
[Link to your regular stamp:] Mei Karuma/Franziska von Karma -
here[Links to four open applications you have voted on:] I know we're required to do four, but I thought I'd help a bit more with the unstamped ones -
You're looking for these, I assume? [You:]
[Favourite Character:] Miles Edgeworth. Manfred and Franziska von Karma. Elise Deauxnim. Several of the more 'minor' characters that cracked me up way more than they should have.
[Favourite Case:] Overall, probably Bridge to the Turnabout. There are no words for how choked-up it made me, and having a huge reunion of practically the entire cast inspired some pretty interesting emotions.
[What Role would you play?] In relationships, I tend to alternate between sulky and frigid; I don't like getting too terribly attached to people, but at the same time, if they were to want to leave I get upset and clingy. It's terrible, but I don't show a lot of happiness in relationships until the relationship is threatened - even if I'm in complete bliss, I have a hard time showing it.
[Likes:] Debating and arguing points. Confusing idiots. Doing research and studying. Reading and writing. Playing with cats. Other people brushing my hair. Buying shoes. Walking and playing in the rain. Windy days. Foreign languages.
[Dislikes:] Closed-mindedness. Stupidity and intentional ignorance. Bad grammar and chatspeak. Losing. People with truly terrible senses of humor. Smoking. Wasps. People who take themselves too seriously. People who don't take themselves seriously at all.
[Hobbies/Interests:] Cosplay. Dancing (badly). Mocking terrible movies.
[Strengths:] Intelligence. A good memory for facts/trivia. Being able to write and not sound like an idiot more than 80% of the time. Approachability.
[Weaknesses:] No common sense. Overanalyzing everything. Perfectionism. Vindictiveness and manipulative tendencies. Crying inconsolably when afraid.
[Outgoing or Shy:] I'm incredibly shy, but play outgoing rather well.
[Dominant or Submissive:] In general, I'm more of a bossy submissive - the obnoxious brown-noser of a coworker who does nothing but kiss the boss's behind and is incredibly willing to order people around on behalf of the establishment, and no one ever really wants to work with them, but at least a lot of work gets done. In relationships, I tend to be more submissive to my partner, but I do flare up once in a while - primarily if I'm displeased.
[Them:]
[Most important thing about them in a relationship:] Understanding. A lot of understanding...
[What role would they play?] They would have to be the one that reaches out and shows their feelings; I respond well to affection, but have difficulty giving it out, so I need someone who's going to be patient enough to deal with that. I also want a lover, not a friend - someone who treats me differently than everyone else, and makes me feel special.
[Outgoing or Shy:] I don't want someone who's going to flirt with everyone, but at the same time I want someone who's more outgoing than me. I need someone who's able to draw me out of my shell without being too demanding about it.
[Dominant or Submissive:] I don't want someone who would dictate my life, but I want someone who will be dominant in the sense that they'll be firm with me in the event that I do something they don't like or is generally considered to be unacceptable. I tend to be too overbearing and controlling with a submissive partner, and I admit that common sense is not my strong point; what I tend to need is someone who is generally easygoing and will tolerate my faults, but is still willing to grab me by the wrists and go "You know what? No. I'm not going to tolerate that, it's not going to work, and you need to stop doing that" if I get too paranoid or out of hand.
[The both of you:]
[What would you relationship be like?] Something that's intimate, but without a lot of public displays of affection - those tend to embarrass me more than anything else. We'd have the type of relationship where we could just sit in the same room, seated in separate chairs and reading our own books, and we would be perfectly content doing it; constantly having to sit in each other's laps and say "I love you" every thirty seconds wouldn't be required because we could tell without having to hear the words. It would generally be mellow; we wouldn't need to go on grand adventures or go out every night because we're content just cuddling on the bed and watching a movie. And I probably sound like a horrid sap by now, too...
[If you were convicted of a crime, how would your partner react?] If I were to actually be convicted and not just accused, I would expect them to pursue justice if the conviction was wrongful and be as supportive as they could. If the conviction was rightfully obtained, however, I would want them to be able to move on with their lives and not be stupid and try to avenge my death or something because I brought it all down on myself.
[If your partner was convicted of a crime, how would you react?] I would probably feel betrayed and second-guess our relationship, honestly...that would last for a grand total of about half an hour before I started throwing myself into looking for a flaw, a loophole, a technicality - just about anything to get them out of it. I'd work myself like crazy.
[Who would defend them?] The person I select after feverishly interviewing half the world and nixing most of them, because I would want the best.
[Anything else?] ...um. Not that I can think of.
