Songs- I Will Remember You and Angel, both by Sarah Mclachlan. Also things by artists like Colbie Caillat, Sara Bareilles, Lady Antebellum, and yes, sometimes, Taylor Swift.
Movies- Forrest Gump/The Blind Side/Any overcoming obstacles movie with pretty happy endings. And naturally the princess movies, "inaccurate" as they may be, sometimes.
Food- Hamburgers.
People- All the GHP people evaaaaar, but especially her King, The Tailor, Beast and Red. Non-GHP related: her late mother. Even though she may not've believed they were related by blood, she still views her as a mother-figure.
LEAST FAVORITE
Colors- Red. It triggers too many memories.
Songs- Anything rap or similar.
Movies- Anything without a relatively happy ending, or without a story/message.
Food- Fish, especially sushi. Thinks it's nasty stuff.
People- GHP related: Rumplestilskin. Non-GHP related: Her father, although she can't decide if she actually hates him or not.
INTERESTS: Fairytales, spinning, antiques, reading, theater.
HOBBIES: Spinning, researching fairytales, acting in the occasional play, hanging out with her friends
STRENGTHS: She is both emotionally and physically capable of handling intense pressure, the former due to her previous experiences and the latter mainly due to her training. When her power is working full throttle her gifts only know the bounds of her imagination-- and that is a vast, vast thing.
WEAKNESSES: She will attempt to refuse help even and sometimes especially from her dearest friends, mainly because she fears she worries them too much too often and she doesn't like to do that. She is also more haunted by her past than she cares to let on, and the nightmares she has on a near-nightly basis have left her in an almost constant state of sleep-deprivation.
ABILITIES: Veritable immortality characterized by accelerated healing at a cellular level. Also the ability to convert straw, hay and similar substances into whatever material item she desires-- including but most certainly not limited to gold.
SECRETS: She believes she is The Miller's Daughter from the story, but at the same time has begun to have her doubts. She was in an accident three years back that almost cost her the loss of her legs and left her in the hospital for six months and killed two of her closest non-GHP friends. She has PTSD stemming from this event.
SOCIAL
HOME LIFE: Has moved in with her King in a two story condo. The home is very grand, with lots of shiny surfaces, glass and duplicates of famous paintings hung about. White and gold are common color themes. It's nice, but it's not very homey. It is likely that there is straw stuffed away in different parts of the home, for her sake, as well as hidden weapons for the King's. There is a spinning wheel, a spindle and a distaff in the study (which she considers hers) as well as a piano in the main living room (which the King considers his.
Formerly lived with the Tailor for a few weeks in his apartment to help deal with nightmares, and before that lived with Wendy in Unit 207 in the apartment complex on the corner of 21st Street and 75th Avenue in whichever city the majority of the GHPers are in.
EDUCATION: High school diploma achieved. She would have gone to college but her accident prevented her from making it to the first six months of her freshman year, and after she was released from the hospital she had neither the ability nor the desire to go.
CURRENT OCCUPATION: A clerk in an antique shop.
PREVIOUS OCCUPATIONS: The rare babysitting job, waitressing in a cafe when she was in high school.
