Pure Romance; I've read the rules, yeah.
BASICS
Name/Nickname: Risu
Age: 20
Likes/Hobbies: reading; foreign languages; linguistics; intellectual games; anime; shonen-ai; hats and neckties; all sorts of dictionaries; good beer; heated discussions (esp. about literature or just general worldly matters); a bit of hand-made: some sewing, some crocheting (don't look at me like that, I just can't find clothes of the right size, since I'm too short for my age); used to play piano and go in for swimming.
Talents: translating; learning languages; getting into heated discussions.
Dislikes: being not the best one; being under pressure; being called 'cute'; people being not serious about literature (seriously, I can throw a hell of a tantrum if I hear that "Gargantua and Pantagruel" is a mere collection of scatological jokes).
THE PERSONALITY PART
Strong points: a perfectionist; serious about my work; caring; understanding; creative; spontaneous; industrious; passionate when it comes to the things I like. I'm also easily carried away with things and people, although I can lose interest just as quickly. Or maintain it for a lifetime, though this happens rarer.
Weak points: impulsive; shout at people easily (can throw things even, although not heavy ones); overdepressive at times; moody; indecisive; shy; stubborn; reserve; extremely lazy when it comes to the things I don't like. I'm also trying to be all cool and composed, yet I do slip a foolish grin or smth like that at times, and that embarasses me pretty much.
What do other people see you/describe you as?: grumpy, cynical, talanted, insecure. inconsistent. not friendly. clever. a kind of overachiever. sometimes too modest, sometimes too cocky.
EITHER OR
Add "why?" if at all possible.
Mature or Immature?: Mature. Hell, I'm not 15 anymore, you know.
Leader or Follower?: Leader. I just need to be ahead.
Outgoing or Shy?: Shy. I'm simply not very good with people. And I often don't know how to show my emotions properly. Since I'm afraid to do something dead wrong, I prefer to refrain from doing anything at all.
Confident or Modest?: Modest. Confidence is what I lack sometimes. Maybe, even too often.
Safe or Risky?: Better safe. Risk can get you in all sorts of trouble, and I don't like troubles, you know.
Optimistic or Pessimistic?: Pessimistic. It's better when life surprises you with good things than with the bad ones. And, well, I generally don't believe in happy-ends.
Realist or Idealist?: Realist. Living in illusions can be attractive, but illusions crush inevitably.
Low, medium, or high energy level?: Medium. Actually, I prefer everything medium. Maybe, because I can't really keep medium in anything. But I try to.
Listener or Speaker?: Depends. When it comes to literature or anime - I like to be the speaker. When it comes to life and problems - I prefer to listen.
Serious or Playful?: Serious. Mostly, I've got no time for playing around.
Impulsive or Cautious?: Impulsive. I'd like to be cautious, but it's just not my character. Even if I think I've got everything carefully planned, when it comes to the point - I still act on impulse.
ETCETERA
Share a quote that relates to you: "I always forget that other people have limitations" (c) Sheldon Cooper.
Check out your Astrological Sign. Does it fit you? Why or why not? Aquarius. Well, they say, Aquarius is the impulsive and controversial one, so... it kind of fits.
How do you interact with family? Not much. We might talk about some issues like 'breakfast-is-ready' or 'buy-some-bread-would-you', and that pretty much sums it up. I've got a brother, but last time he ever spoke to me was 5 years ago. My parents can be pretty supportive, though, but only if I turn to them first. Most often, asking for their help is just too much for my pride.
How do you interact with friends? Rarely. And I can't say that I've got much friends. They say I'm too cynical and demanding and don't communicate with me more than it's necessary. And I myself prefer a good book to a friendly chat, really.
How do you interact with strangers? I usually frighten them off with the expression of mine. People often say that I always look like I hate the whole world around me.
Explain how you verbalize. (Is it casual, formal, polite, blunt, etc...?) I enjoy using archaisms and speaking in complete and complex syntactical structures. I use either a lot of obscene language (if the surroundings allow that, of course) or a lot of terms and internationalisms. Synonyms, bookish phrases, comlpicated words - these are my favourites, perhaps.
Which character do you dislike the most from Junjou Romantica and why? Dislike? It's hard to dislike someone there, actually. It's one of those animes that doesn't have any negative characters. They are all people, with their strong points and weak points, and I can pretty understand them all. None of them is evil, at least, so I can't see any reason to go so far as disliking someone there.
How would you react to all of the main Junjou boys randomly showing up at your door? I guess I'll go find myself a psychiatrist. Well, seriously, it depends on what they would want from me. I think, I could get each of them a cup of tea/a can of beer with some chat, why not?
Anything else?:
English is not my native language, so feel free to ask what I meant if something is unclear and point out any mistakes I've made.
