Journey starts in Konoha? Then why is there a "Welcome to Suna" sign next to us?

THE BASICS
Name: Red, Tomato--whatever you can come up with.
Age: Above the age of 13.
Gender: Female.
...................
THE PERSONAL
Likes: Let's see... my sparse-looking interests list has this so far--doodling, drawing, napping, playing, reading, roleplaying, singing, sleeping, writing. That seems about accurate, but to be safe, I'll add some more. Iconing's quickly becoming another interest of mine. Graphics experimenting in general. Being with friends and family. Seeing that things are going well with my loved ones, and others too. Having the capabilities to help someone, be of use to them. Browsing the Internet. Listening to music. Laughing. Romantic comedies. Romance genre in general--tragedy, unrequited, dramatic included. Might as well add anime, manga, and books to the list. Or does that all go under reading? The human body. Have something of a small fascination when I learn about it, as it's more complex than what people take it for at times. Sweets, as I have something of a sweet tooth, and a good number of different fruits. Tomatoes too, which may or may not be part of the fruits list. A little lost in the controversy there. Certain Japanese dishes, like sushi, tempura, udon, and ramen. Instant ramen in a cup's pretty good. Though I'm fond of fettuccine alfredo too. Hmm. Cute things, like kittens and puppies, flowers and etc. Shades of red, including the pink.
Dislikes: Getting sick. Low grades. Double-crossers. Especially when they act like they've done nothing wrong even though the opposite is true, and try to turn the situation around and make you feel like the bad guy. Seeing loved ones and others hurt and dejected. Letting down/being let down. Kicked puppies. Arrogance without good reason. Belittlement. Failing when I feel I could have done better. Crying when I absolutely shouldn't be doing so (i.e. over something stupid, for lack of a better term). Bullying with bad intentions--there's a different between a friendly tease and a malicious comment. Getting taken advantaged of. Being a disappointment. Feeling helpless.
What do you feel is your best quality?: ...Mind if I just list qualities that's on the positive side of what I see/people have told me and you can decide from there? Sweet. Self-less. Polite. Smart. Good listener. Attentive. Hard-working. Creative. Bright. Funny. Engaged. On-task. Friendly. Thoughtful. Optimistic. Kind. Eager. Helpful. Soft.
Your worst?: Doing the same as above, except negative. Stubborn. Worry-wart/stressed. Short-tempered. Competitive. Self-doubting. Annoying. Sensitive. Irritable. Perfectionist. Emotional. Busy. Serious. Indecisive. Rambler. Slow.
Pet Peeves: ...Hmm, good question. Old, leftover chewed up gum left out in public everywhere except the trash can, where it belongs, and then you come along and something happens where you end up accidentally touching it? I don't know if that counts.
Dreams & Ambitions: I'd like to get into the medical field someday. Either as a doctor, a nurse, or somewhere in between. Make a name for myself, and have stability in the long run of things. Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll even fall in love with someone. Although in my free time, I wouldn't mind indulging a bit into some of my side hobbies--join a singing contest or two for kicks and so on. However, I want to be able to look back on everything someday and say, "you did okay." Find that satisfaction, and be an impact to others in a good way.
Personality in 5 words or less: A hard one to describe.

FAVORITES
Favorite Season: A close break between spring and summer, with summer just barely making it past spring. Summer is a time of freedom. From obligations, a time to relax or at least lighten the load. The hot weather can easily get a bit too high for comfort though. Spring is one of those transitions between the extremities, and things start growing anew again. Winter and fall are also up there, note, as all the seasons are within a point of surpassing the other.
Favorite Element: Fire. It stands for warmth, passion, and etc., but at the same time has the potential to hurt, to harm, leaving behind burns and scars that may fade with time, but can never really leave without that faint trace left. There's that delicate balance to it, where one step can fling it into a completely new direction. Although the accompaniment of water and wind would be suitable.
Favorite Naruto character & why: Another close call answer. Umm... Sakura and Hinata. They're still tied in my books. As I recall stating in a friending meme some time ago--"These two, they're not perfect. They have their flaws and own obstacles to overcome, mistakes, fears, and doubts galore even, but they do what they can with what they have and they grow from their experiences."
...................
THIS OR THAT
Mature or Immature: For the most part, mature. I have my turn on and turn off times.
Leader or Follower: Depends on the case. I'll be assertive and take charge of the situation when it calls me to do so, but I don't mind following along if the person in charge has a better grasp of the situation than I do--in other words, more qualified.
Optimistic or Pessimistic: Optimistic with a dab of pessimism every once in awhile. Like, it's fine to think of the positive, but there are times where you're going to have to think realistically, not idealistically. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst, you know?
Impulsive or Cautious: Suppose you could say I'm cautious with some impulsive tendencies.
Outgoing or Shy: At first, somewhat shy, but as I get comfortable and/or time goes on, I let myself out there a little more.
Hardworking or Laid-back: First option, hardworking. I want effort in what I do, to earn what I get on the basis that whatever happens, I know I did my best.
Hyper, Calm, or somewhere in-between: Somewhere in-between. When something excites me, and in particular cases, I'd let myself go for some.
Modest or Bold: Modest, sometimes bold here and there.
Lover or Fighter: I'd rather be a lover if I can help it, although I will fight when necessary/ the situation demands it.

SITUATIONS
You really don't like someone and find them in a heap of trouble. Would you ignore their pleas for help or give a helping hand?: I will be just a tad bit sour, but hey, they need help and I'm the only one who can do it. So helping hand I will give. Simple as that.
When the going gets tough, do you stay your ground by yourself, call for help, or run away?: For the most part, I'll be sticking it out as long as I can. Guess you can say I'm too stubborn to give in so easily. If there's no other option though, in the end, I'd go and call for help.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting 10 minutes. What do you do?: Mmm... it's a case by case deal. If, for example, the person comes in frazzled, in a hurry to catch an appointment or something, while I've got time to spare, I'd gladly oblige. Should it be an opposite case, where there are many individuals in line, people are getting antsy, and in turn, the act's causing more trouble than it's worth--I'd poke/tap the person on the shoulder, and ask them politely to please wait in line like the rest of us. (In either case, I'd be slightly irked/annoyed on the inside that they just barge in without asking first.)
NARUTO VERSE; Naruto has been following you around all day, trying to get you to teach him a new secret move he saw you do that he thought was cool. What do you do?: I'd thank him for thinking it cool, but ask him to come back later when I've got a better hold on the technique. If it's a new secret move, I'd most likely be still working the kinks out, and would find it hard to teach since even I'm not completely sure how it works out yet either. Hopefully he wouldn't mind the wait.
NARUTO VERSE; Would you rather be attacking up close and personal, hiding far off using a type of long range attacks, or not on the battle field at all? Ideally, up close and personal. That way, I know who I'm facing and where that person is at all times. Long range would be a smart way to go about it, having an advantage over your opponent if s/he can't see you, but I'd probably be a bit paranoid constantly looking around me, hoping no one's caught sight of me yet.
NARUTO VERSE; Your friend has joined the "dark side" and wants you to join them. More power and money, they say. Would you join them? Why would you do this? Why? I'd try really hard to get him/her to reconsider, throw out a few alternatives to think about instead, talk him/her out of it. Start out a bit light, like: "You're not trying to pull a Sasuke-fiasco, are you?" And then, get serious. I mean, money? Maybe we could work some extra missions, start a business on the side. Power? There are people who've gotten there through less shady means, like the hokages. S/he can't just leave for something like that, unless there were little to no other options left. For very few, extreme reasons and circumstances would I even consider joining, but this? It'd hurt on so many levels, considering s/he is my friend and everything that "dark side" has done in the past, and to have to face him/her in the future on opposing sides, someone who I hold dear--I don't think I'd be able to go through with it. My duty to my village, and to protect my loved ones there would be enough for me to start off, but when it comes face to face, I'd start to fall apart all over again from the inside out.

INSPIRATIONAL
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?: The speed in which I get things done. I really want to get better at this, finishing not only efficiently, but quickly. It's been a problem/ a cause for problems on more than one occasion. Confidence in what I do is there, but never really at 100%. Even when I reach a point of certain satisfaction, in the back of my mind I'm still thinking of how to improve it/is it even right as it is/etc. and etc. That is, if you're talking about something abstract. Should you be going for something tangible, either my physique or to gain the ability to run smoothly on no sleep.
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?: Something for the better. A little more respect for one another, perhaps? I mean, think about it. Would you like someone to kill you just because you're a certain ethnicity? Treat others the way you want to be treated--even if you don't agree, at least have a little tolerance. ...But then, even that might backfire. Hmm.
If you could become any character from the series for one day - 24 hours - who would it be?: Either someone from Team 7, Team 8, Team Gai, or Tsunade/Temari. Can't decide on just one--each person's perspective is so different, it'd be interesting to try just about anyone really.
If you were given the chance to permanently become part of the Naruto-verse (as "yourself"), would you take it?: Well, would I be able come back to where I am now as I please? The idea is tempting, and sounds like it would be a lot of fun, but I have friends and family, obligations to think of back home. Disappearing just like that without a moment's notice, I wouldn't want to worry anyone if I can help it. So, if yes, we're allow to go back and forth, then you know I'd take it. If not, then with some regret, I'd have to decline the offer.

Is there any character that you strongly would disagree with being voted as?: ...Please don't give me Orochimaru.
