I'm a hero~ ...Again?
I was stamped before (as China), but I wanted to see what my restamp would be. *shrug*
It's All About YOU
Name or Nickname: My real name is Elisa. You can call me Beldarius, Raiden, Beldi, Bel, Rai or Rai-Rai.
Gender: Female.
What do you LOVE?: Anime, manga, reading (mostly fantasy), writing, history, mythology (Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Japanese, Celtic), animals (wolves~), music (anything goes - classical, too. Beethoven FTW!), astrology, astronomy (sometimes I go out on winter nights and search for constellations), divination (I have a pack of tarot cards right here next to me), cars (due to Initial D), learning Japanese, Finnish-English translating (poems and stuff), looking up stuff and searching information, my cat, peace (= not getting disturbed), finding names and their meanings from different countries (especially Celtic), autumn (= my favorite season because of the pretty colors, cool air and the rain/hail/snow storms. I love the sound of rain, it's soothing. The headache that precedes a rainstorm isn't as nice, though. .____.).
And what do you HATE?: Writer's blocks, people who bully others, getting disturbed while I'm doing something, my parents ordering me around ("Clean that, do this, get off the computer now"), exercising (...as in sports), summer and winter (too hot and too cold!). Oh, and spring, too - allergies, see.
Strengths: I have an exceptionally good memory; my IQ is 135 and I know a lot of stuff; my general knowledge is better than that of the adults in my neighborhood; I'm calm and collected; I'm also quiet in real life but talkative online - and if I get to know somebody in real life, I can ramble quite a bit (= weakness? XD); my sense of humor varies and I can laugh at just about anything; I try my hardest not to offend anyone (can be a bad thing); and my imagination is VERY vivid.
I can also predict things sometimes. I swear I can. I'm also a very fast reader (I can read Hamlet in one day and understand everything. XD); plus I'm very good at finding information (if you need something looked up in English or Finnish, you know who to turn to); a fast learner (I learned to use the computer and Internet on my own, and I only have to look at a handbook once to learn how to do something and actually remember it); and I have linguistic skills (if I've never heard of a language before and see a word from that language, I can instinctively pronounce it right the first time); and I think I'm a bit helpful, too...
I've also been called "a Walking Wiki" and "a person with an information overload" on multiple occasions. But really, only a fraction of it is from my memory... the other part is just me being exceptionally fast at digging up the information I need.
Also, every time I notice someone being depressed around me, I try to say something along the lines of "Hey, everything's gonna be all right, just you wait.". A couple of years ago I even acted as a shrink for an online friend who was feeling totally in the dumps. He got better after talking with me for a couple of days.
Weaknesses: I'm lazy - but the funny thing is, at the same time I get bored/depressed really easily if I don't have something to do; I procrastinate (A LOT); I can't draw for the life of me... or sing (I want to be able to do both! ;___; ); my tendency to ramble (if I do find something to talk about); I'm also quite shy (mostly in real life); I can't really give critique about anything (it's bad, I swear - I'm afraid I might offend someone if I did. ...Really, there is something as being "too polite"); I'm rather antisocial, in the sense that I'd rather be alone than get into town with my friends; and as I said before, I get really annoyed if my peace is disturbed (tending to snap "What now?" at my Mom if she opens the door of my room)... I guess my temper is a bit short at home. XD; I nearly always underestimate myself and my abilities - negative version of modesty, anyone?; I lack ambition so much it isn't even funny, my self-confidence isn't one of my strong points... and I don't really take care of myself well enough (my Mom tells me to go out more. XD).
...I haven't had any self-destructive thoughts, even with my confidence level - and no, it's got nothing to do with being scared of dying... death doesn't bother me. In fact, my emotions are a bit... not there. My sister died nearly two years ago, but right now I don't (and even then I didn't) feel sad or shocked at the news. Honestly, my lack of emotion scares me sometimes...
Hobbies: See section "What do you LOVE?".
Favorite Color: Black, white, silver, blue, green and purple.
What is your favorite food?: ...Anything goes, but so far my favorite foods have been borsch soup and kalamari (fried squid). Oh, and anything my Dad makes - he's really good at cooking.
Favorite Country (without taking Hetalia into consideration): Japan and New Zealand. I've always wanted to visit both. And it seems I'll be going to New Zealand and Australia before my Mom turns 60. At least I hope so. 8D
Mature or Childish?: More mature - but my Mom tells me I'm more childish. ...Being obsessed with anime and manga doesn't make you childish, does it? -___-
Would you prefer to lead or follow?: Neither. I hate telling people what to do (has to do with that "not offending people" -thing) and I don't really like to take orders, either. So I guess I'm more of an outsider/loner.
Let's Talk HETALIA
Favorite Character and WHY: I can't decide between Prussia, Spain and Denmark. XD Prussia... well... what's there not to love about a batshit insane jerk with a superiority complex? Spain is so bouncy, adorable and thickheaded that I just love him. And my love for Denmark is recent - and I think it was Vinny's comics that caused it. XD
Is there a certain strip that really sticks out for you?: Um... I think it's the Boss Spain one where Turkey declares war on him. XD
Hamburgers or Tea OR MAPLE SYRUP?: Still tea. I haven't eaten fast food for years and I've never tried maple syrup. :/
Who dresses the best in the series? ♥: Gotta say Austria. He's just so refined. =3 And the violet still looks good on him. XD
America/Alfred wants to watch a scary movie! Which one would you pick?: "Bats". I hate horror and it always causes me insomnia... Bats, on the other hand, was so bad that it made me laugh.
How about a favorite ship/couple?: Spain/Romano. They're so damn ADORABLE. XD Spain trying cheer-up charms and Romano just being in denial all the damn time.
AND A LITTLE MORE~
Do you believe in spirits or ghosts?: Noooot really. :/ I have no idea why, I just never have.
You're at war! Do you take the enemy head-on with full force or lay back and take time to tactically move your forces?: Tactics ftw. When I write a story and add a battle scene, I mostly end up making the heroes strategic. The moment everything seems lost, I would just send a signal and cause most of my army to surround the enemy and then begin a slaughter (the part of my army I was using was really only a fraction of my true force. >=D Breaking your enemy's will to fight and disheartening them is a good way to win a battle~ *IS A (NOT SO) CLOSET SADIST*).
You have to be transported to a deserted island! Oh no! You're allowed to take three items; what are these items?: A friend with a survival kit, a survival kit of my own and a book on eatable plants/mushrooms/animals/etc. ;P
Please describe how you look or share a picture if you have one: There. And... >=D.
Any final words?: My favorite animals would be wolves, dogs, cats, foxes, deer and several mythical critters. I'm more shy than outgoing (I hate talking on the phone, talking to strangers and partying), I guess I'm modest (my self-confidence is nearly minus-marked), my energy level is moderate/high (I can stay up for a whole day, a night and another day before I start to feel sleepy and go to bed, so about 36 hours), I'm a night owl (means I feel most energetic at night. XD) and I want to become a library assistant.
...When I joined a forum called "SaintSeiyaFan", I also noticed things about myself I hadn't thought of before. ...I'm a (not-so) closet sadist as I said before, I have a slightly (...slightly!?) dirty mindset/imagination and a twisted and perverted sense of humor. XD
Alone or With a Group?: Alone. Definitely alone. I get uncomfortable if there are too many people around me. And crowds? I hate all the pushing! D:
Listener or Speaker?: ...Both. If I don't know somebody and if I don't have anything to say, I will listen. Though if I have a subject to talk about and I know the person, I can rant for quite a while.
Persistent or Weak-willed?: Persistent. Seriously. My Mom and I have clashes of wills several times per year. XD And if I find something nice I'd want to get in a shop, I won't buy it if I don't have money. And even if I do, I sometimes buy it, sometimes don't. It depends.
Pessimistic or Optimistic?: Um... my Mom calls me pessimistic, but I see myself as a realist. XD
Fun or Business?: :/ Dunno really. Maybe fun? XD I don't like to do school assignments and would much prefer to spend my day on the Internet instead. ...But when it comes to stuff I like (like English, astrology, Japanese, etc.), I can study/work very hard.

Oh, can I see your vital regions?: Oh, I'm not showing you mine... but if you want to know where I live, look at Tino's crotch.
