Describe your personality:
I took some tests and got…Quiet Loner Soul, Lawful Neutral and ISTP. If I had to sort myself into a stereotype, I would pick Dandere although -to be more accurate- with “shy” being replaced by reserved, and “cute and sweet” by cheerful.

For the most part, I have a quite passive and quiet personality; I usually don’t take the initiative unless I’m pressured by myself or have one of my impulsive moments. I’m not a doormat, though, and very well able to say no; if I don’t want to do something, I can be very persistent. Often, many things go through my head but I end up saying and doing nothing because I’m not really great at talking and translating thoughts into words or I mumble them over too long and miss the chance. Although I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve, I don’t think I am hard to read. If you look closely. It’s just that sometimes my expression doesn’t match what I’m actually thinking/feeling at the moment - when I’m enthusiastic, for example, I possibly still wear my default expression which, according to some people, resembles a sad/serious one.

In public settings and around mere acquaintances, I tend to be more soft-spoken, private and reserved. I don’t go out actively seeking conversation but I try to be nice whenever someone talks to me. Among people I have known for years and around friends I’m less cautious with my words/actions, louder and more animated in general. Still, I keep many things to myself and don’t always disclose my true opinion on matters if I think it could offend someone/doesn’t concern you at all…but in contrast, I’m very honest about other matters. I bottle things up, shrugh stupid remarks off or ignore them while in reality I’m offended or angry, but in more private settings it’s likelier that I snap and become extremely emotional/temperamental. And I can be very unforgiving but it’s not like I’ll let you know “Hey, every time we meet I’ll think of that stupid remark you made about me and I’ll never ever forget about it.”

Hm, what else? I rarely break rules. I’m a follow-the-book person. I’m not exactly the ideal friend as I’m prone to neglect people. I can be somewhat bossy but only around certain people and…yeah.

What kind of person would you project yourself to be for the games? I wouldn’t even try projecting myself as a different person unless my mentor came up with a good idea which persona I should display for the games. How I usually come across, namely unfriendly/shy/grumpy/quiet/inconspicuous, wouldn’t earn me a lot of sponsors although the other tributes would probably underestimate me and not take me very seriously at first which is just fine with me but- hm, I don’t know, maybe I would do it like Katniss and not really be anything during the interviews and before the games.

Positive traits: I have a sense of humour. I can be cheerful and teasing when I’m among certain people. I’m conscientious and responsible when I’m interested in something. I can be very persistent despite my usual passive attitude and I can resist peer pressure. Does that count? |D I have a sense of justice and I try to treat everyone fairly. I’m more empathetic than I would like to think but- I rarely show it.

Negative traits: I’m overly untalkative and a bit socially awkward, thus coming across as either shy or unfriendly. I forget to smile, I get nervous during public speaking, most of the time I have no idea what to talk about with strangers etc. Things like that. But I’m trying to improve. I’m insecure and self-conscious in many situations and I’m easily discouraged by failure. I take almost every glare and off-hand joke personally + hold grudges for a long time which is a great combination. I’m irritable and have quite a temper that sometimes shows. Other negative traits are: being partly avoidant, hesitancy, indecision, and worrying a lot about worst-case scenarios.

Likes: Cats, almost all kinds of music, anime, bicycling, crafting, reading a book in the garden, playing piano, taking walks.
Dislikes: Gender roles, stereotyping, discos, failure, being ignorant, being pressured into doing something, unreasonable arguments, being contradicted, when people talk about me.

Best quality: I don’t think I have one. And no, I’m not modest.
Worst quality: My introverted and quiet nature. It would benefit me more if I could at least act outgoing and sociable.
What do you value most?: Money? Independence, fairness and equality in a certain sense are also things I value.

THIS OR THAT
Optimistic or Pessimistic: A mix? I honestly don’t know anymore. Generally, I try to view things realistically but depending my mood I can lean towards optimistic or pessimistic.
Reserved or Outgoing: Reserved. But. I like company (once in a while) even if I don’t interact much with them.
Trusting or Cynical: In-between. I’m mostly mistrustful.
Impulsive or Cautious: Cautious. I usually think before I act but that doesn’t mean that the result is always well thought-out and logical.
Adventurous or Homey: Homey.
Stoic or Openly Emotional: In-between. I tend to be openly emotional around people I have known for years but in public etc. I’m able to put up a sort of stoic façade.
Selfish or Selfless: In-between, probably more selfish. I can make compromises but I don’t like doing things that don’t bring me any advantages.
Leader or Follower: Follower if I have to be but otherwise “loner” because- less responsibility and stress.
Calm or Temperamental: Outwardly calm but I have quite a temper that sometimes shows.

SITUATIONAL
A close friend/relative of yours has been selected for the Hunger Games! How would you react?
Shocked and incredulous. Uh, I can’t think of anything else. But I would also feel relieved because I wasn’t drawn in the reaping…

You find a fugitive from another District on your territory. What would you do?
I would end up doing nothing and just ignore them. I’m quite hesitant about dangerous situations -because you could get caught by Peacemakers helping a fugitive- so after contemplating to indirectly help them by leaving some food or useful tools behind, I would probably end up doing nothing.

How willing would you be to kill if you were in the Games? What if it was your best friend? I think these kind of questions are very hard to answer when I’m sitting comfortably in front of my computer and typing happily away.

It’s your first day in The Hunger Games and everyone is gathered at the Cornucopia. You spot your weapon of choice right out in the open, but you know there’s going to be a bloodbath. What do you do?
Run away, not grab the weapon. I would have to make do with something else that I pick up along my way. Wouldn’t want to die on the first day.

What would your weapon of choice be?
A magic staff? Haha, I don’t know. Maybe I was already trained with a weapon if I were in the books.

A fellow tribute has approached you asking for friendship, what would be your first reaction?
Um, no? Unless I can know with a likeliness of 99% that I can trust them not to suddenly turn on me, I would not become allies with them, let alone friends. I would just hope refusing them doesn’t result in an unfavourable situation for me - “Oh my god, you don’t want to be allies. Imma kill you!!”

You’re hiding up a tree when you spot the Career Pack coming and they’re below you, although they seem to not notice you yet. What would you do?
Hold my breath and lie low, wait until they are gone and nervously make up a plan on how to best escape in case they saw me. Ideally, I would possess some sort of weapon or could make use of my surroundings to overcome and eliminate them. I mean, it’s the Career Pack. Everyone would thank for me for taking them out. (And I realize I’m playing exactly according to the Capitol’s rules here…)

You’re starting to get thirsty and you suspect that there won’t be another water source up ahead. You have no choice but to head back to the first lake you’re spotted. Would you risk being spotted by other tributes to go back?
If I felt that I would certainly die if I trudged along any longer, I would risk being seen by other tributes and head back to the lake.

Your stomach has been empty for quite some time now and you’re starting to feel tired from the lack of food. You spot some berries nearby but they look foreign to you. What do you do?
Not eat them. It would be really lame if I died because a handful of berries and I don’t think they could satisfy my, uh, hunger anyway.

You’ve won the games! What do you think led you to your victory?
Everyone totally underestimated me, I had tons of luck and/or some useful skills.

What’s the most important thing for you when you’re in the Games?
Survive to win food packages and other goods for my district. :'D

THE BOOKS
Have you read The Hunger Games? If so, did you enjoy it? Yes and… yes? I didn’t like some parts in Mockingjay but I enjoyed it nevertheless.
What was your favorite part? I like the scenes between Rue and Katniss, the part where Katniss sings “The Hanging Tree” and the two scenes where the people do the District 12 respect sign.
Who was your LEAST favorite character? Romulus Thread. At least I found President Snow and President Coin somewhat amusing in various instances.
Anyone you prefer not to get? (Please limit this to 2 characters and give valid reasons why you’re not like them) Gale Hawthorne? He is such a harsh person in many respects and a lot more serious than I am.
Anything else? I would really appreciate if you included explanations as to why you think I’m like a character. And please don’t sheep. |D Thanks!
