About You
Describe your personality: I'm a rather guarded person, and I have difficulty trusting others. Consequently, I put on fronts to protect myself. To the public, I am a shy, sweet, polite young woman. I think most people who don't know me very well would be shocked to discover that I have a temper. However, I am not shy, and my personality is more dry than sweet. Sometimes, I feel I also come across as cold or withdrawn when, in reality, I’m just not sure how to react. Socializing is not my strong point. I think, in general, I’m a kind person, but I don’t let others close enough to see it. My true self comes out only in solitude or in the company of my immediate family. I don't make friends easily, and, to be frank, I have little interest in them. I have more important things to concern myself with. I’m not a people person, anyway. I'm very introverted, and I enjoy being alone. I'm rather quiet, even around family members. I'd rather listen and observe than talk, but I will contribute to discussions if I have something important to say. My family is very important to me, and I place them above everyone else.
I also have very strong beliefs, and I keep them close to heart. Once I support something, I become very passionate about it. I don't want to describe myself as 'moral' or 'ethical' because I feel that, sometimes, the people who do are just the opposite. So, I'll state that I take my moral beliefs very seriously, and I'm unwilling to change them for anyone. I have firm beliefs between right and wrong. Admittedly, my moral code is my own, and some aspects are more beneficial to myself and loved ones. When it comes down to it, morality is subjective and shaped by our environment. I don't consider my ethics as universal truths, but they are true to me. In the long run, that's all that matters.
For the psychology fans, I'm most like an

On a scale of one to ten, how evil do you consider yourself? Ummm . . . I guess I’m around a three or four. I’m not an evil person. I’m very flawed, and I can be mean-spirited - but I’m not evil.
What are some ~evil things you have done? Do you feel ashamed or bad when you do something mean? I haven’t done anything too terrible. I have lied to cover things up, and I take my temper out on people who don’t deserve it. Still, I rarely get into trouble. I probably sound like a goody-goody, but I’m not. I just like to avoid unnecessary trouble. For example, there are people who I’d love to punch in the face, but I could get sued. If I do something mean, I may feel ashamed. It depends on the person. If my behavior was undeserved, then I do feel guilty. If they are acting like assholes, then I will stand up to them.
Are you one to follow orders or do you like to do things your own way? I like to do things my own way. I prefer to be the one in control.
Do you feel drawn to the dark side of things or do you consider yourself a "good guy"? Intellectually, the Dark Arts are interesting. I wouldn’t mind reading books on them, but I would never put them to use. If someone harmed/threatened my family, then I may be lured to ‘the dark side’ to get revenge. I'm very protective of those I love, and I hold grudges. Still, all in all, I consider myself a ‘good guy.’
Would you be a Death Eater if given the chance? No way. For one, I am not a follower. I’d rather be on my own. Furthermore, the Death Eaters are slaves, and I love my freedom. It makes no sense that I’m filling out this application.
Anyone from the options you REALLY don't want? The Carrows, Yaxley, Bellatrix, Snape, and Pettigrew. I don't care if Bellatrix and Snape are among the few logical choices; I can't stand either of them.
