Name: Meghan
Nickname: Meg, Oishi-mun (from the roleplay
rizumikaru_yomi, as he's my most active character), Ahli's girl (Ahli's the name of the horse I've been riding in my lessons for the past few years. I spoil him). There's more than those, but can you honestly expect me to remember them all?
Age: 19
Likes: anime, manga, video games, reading, photography, horses, shopping, cats, food, music, tennis, dragons, my friends, emotionally stable people, laughter, psychology, fashion design, anything related to TeniPuri, shonen-ai/yaoi
Dislikes: animal cruelty, emotionally unstable people, alcoholic beverages, cigarette smoke, coffee, storms, getting wet, insects, spiders, large snakes, heights, large crowds in small spaces, math, science, most sports, Microsoft, most small children, most people in general, cooking, cleaning, sleeping in, going to bed early, studying, Naruto, shojo-ai/yuri
Hobbies: horseback riding, hanging out with friends, shopping, playing video games, watching anime, playing tennis, shooting baskets (otherwise known as a solo version of basketball played on my driveway), reading, cosplaying, sewing, collecting things, photography, roleplaying, watching movies
Talents: writing (mostly fanfiction. I fail epically at essays), sewing, acting, photography (I have a good eye for decent shots), tennis (I caught on very quickly), handling horses, singing, playing musical instruments, drawing (it's only a talent because no one related to me by blood can draw), dog walking, handling cats... I have a lot of talents but not enough opportunities to use them.
Goals: I'd love to get involved with an equine-facilitated therapy program for people (particularly teens/young adults) who suffered through emotional/psychological abuse. I'm walking proof that horses have a strong influence in recovering from it, having been abused in such a manner by my own mother.
What do you feel is your best quality? Why?: I'd have to say my kindness and way with animals. Despite how I grew up, I somehow ended up being a genuinely nice person. I'm distrustful of most people, but I love working with/being around animals - horses in particular - and that's where I tend to focus my energy.
Your worst? Why?: my impacience, bad temper, low tolerance... (this is all with humans and myself) I have a rather long list of personality traits in myself that I think are my "worst", but most of this has to do with how I was raised. I don't really feel like talking about it.
What's your favorite quote? Why?: "You don't have to do it perfectly, you just have to try." My riding instructor told me this during a lesson when I was having a tough time with my riding, and I didn't feel like staying on. But we talked and waited it out, and this little bit of advice has stuck with me ever since. (I used to be a perfectionist)
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Why?: It would have to be my weight or height. Being 5'3" and on the chubby side means virtually nothing looks good on me.
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? Why?: It would have to be the increasing hay and land shortages for horses. It needs to stop. D: It's unfortunate that the situation isn't well-known, but it's there, and it's big. Horses may be large and dangerous, but they're beautiful and magnificent, domesticated horses can be large teddy bears. I've seen a situation like it myself near my hometown: there used to be a stable on the outer edge of a neighboring town that we'd always pass by on our way through. Now, the barn and fencing are demoed, and there are construction machines tearing it apart. It's horrible.
Why do you like the anime/manga Prince of Tennis?: I like it because it's not really your typical shonen series. There's a whole lot more focus on the characters and the relationships between them.
Who is your favorite character? Why? (You won't be judged on this): It's reached a tie between Kikumaru and Oishi. Kikumaru reminds me of one of my friends: he's cute with lots of spunk and energy.
As for Oishi, he may not be as attractive as most of his teammates, but his heart is in the right place. He's genuinely kind and caring, which are traits I absolutely adore. I also find him to be the most lovable character for me, as there's nothing about him I don't really have any complaints about.
Who is your least favorite character? Why?: I don't like most of the characters outside of the Seigaku regulars, and I dislike most of the rival schools (save for Fudomine, St. Rudolf, and Yamabuki) as a whole. But I certainly don't like Atobe at all - he's too full of himself.
What's your favorite pairing? Why?: Golden Pair! I just love Oishi and Kikumaru's relationship. And it's one of those couples that can be cute and fluffy and totally serious at the same time. <3
What's your least favorite pairing? Why?: I am very biased towards Golden Pair and MomoRyo, so those four with anyone else (like MomoKai, Pillar Pair, Thrill Pair, TezuOishi... and especially characters from other schools) I tend not to like. I generally don't read fics and doujinshi that don't involve Seigaku, so I don't really know what to say.
If you got to choose a character in the show to be for 24 hours, who would it be? Why?: Oishi, mostly because I would love to have the opportunity to play alongside Kikumaru just once, and also because it's incredibly easy for me to "act" as Oishi.
How did you find this community?: I think I came across it in an interest search for "tenipuri"
Anything else?:
