Leader or Follower?: Leader
Strong or Weak? (physically and emotionally):
Would you sacrifice yourself for the greater good?: I would like to experience the "greater good" for myself, so I'm afraid I wouldn't want to.
Favorite Element and why?: Fire, because I'm passionate about things/people that I like
Favorite Type of Magical Girl and why?: Sailor senshi and card captors. I love the idea of being able to use magic to stop enemies from hurting other people. Plus, their costumes are adorable and their powers are cool. I'd love to be able to fly around, looking for enemies, and then send them to Kingdom Come with a well-aimed spell or attack.
Least Favorite and why?: Platinum Princess Candidate. From what I read in the clipping about them on the community info page, what kind of a crappy deal is that? "Here, you have a curse on you that means you can't grow anymore after you turn 10, so you have to strive to grow now and try to win a tiara to really do so! Oh, by the way, if you don't win the tiara, you die. Have a nice 'adolescence'!" It's the kind of weird, contrived plot only Gainax could really create.
Favorite Quote or motto: "Even after tears we will shine brighter" from the Seramyu song Everlasting Moonlight. I love it because it's so true. I've been through some sad experiences, but they've all helped me. My last--and to date, only--breakup resulted in my becoming interested in newspaper writing, and, well, I know for sure that I want to make a career out of that. So, sad times can yield glad times!
