c'est l'heure du duel!
1. What's your name or/and nickname (either RL or Internet, or both)? Sarah
2. Yourself in 3 words? brilliant but lazy
3. Personality? introverted but really very fond of people, just fond of being alone too. Logical and rational, but laidback and funny. Definitely too verbose. Self-deprecating, reserved, a bit incompetent.
4. Strengths? I'm intelligent and find it easy to grasp most concepts. Not understanding something is one of the few things that will get me motivated, and I'll puzzle over it and do my own research until I understand. I have an instinctual grasp of words and language. I'm very good at putting myself in someone else's place, and understanding why they feel the way they do, and seeing how events might unfold. I'm gentle and nurturing, but I have to know you very well to feel able show you that. I'm witty, and I'm very easygoing.
5. Weaknesses? I'm very passive - I won't make the first move in, well, anything. I have absolutely no sense of urgency, which makes me come across as lazy, when really I just don't think things need to be done right at this minute. I'm a little clumsy; I definitely can't dance. I'm far too self-analytical and have a massive martyr complex, not to mention an overriding need to be right about everything. In my need for accuracy, I end up waiting til I have all possible data before making a decision, which means I generally act too late. I'm pretty disconnected from my own feelings most of the time.
More about YOU
6. Likes? the seaside, Pokémon, being scared, folklore, reading books, talking about books, choral music, seasons changing, dreams, psychology, rain, birds, hot chocolate, writing poetry
7. Dislikes? tea despite being British, hypocrisy, being patronised, loud arguments happening anywhere in my vicinity
8. Hobbies? I sing in about four choirs, I like to take photos, I play Pokémon an awful lot (and Professor Layton!!), I spend far too much time on the internet. I love rock climbing but don't get to do it nearly enough.
9. Talents? I'm good with words, and I'm good at singing. I'm good with people too but I rarely have the initiative to use that. Sadly, card games are not one of my talents because I don't have the attention span to strategise properly. Though it's probably more a question of not caring about the stakes enough.
10. Goals? Just... travel and have a good time and be the best me I can be.
This or that?
11. Mature or immature? Mature
12. Leader or follower? Follower, but only because I don't have the charisma to lead. Ideally, I'd be the leader's advisor because I think my ideas are the best but can't easily convince others of that.
13. Calm, normal, or hyper? Calm, though I can be hyper, much to the chagrin of my best friends.
14. Optimistic or pessimistic? Realistic! Optimistic if you classify "it'll be all right" as optimism rather than just not worrying.
15. Social or shy? Quiet, not shy.
16. Speaker or listener? Listener, unless it's something I really care about.
17. Business or fun? FUUUUUUN.
Yu-Gi-Oh!
1. Favorite character(s)? I've been a bit in love with Yami Yugi since I was about ten. On rewatching, I also have much love for Bakura (chiefly Yami Bakura) because UNF. I also really like Mokuba and Mako Tsunami.
2. Least favorite character(s)? I like them all really. Even Rex and Weevil have won me over with their double act.
3. Favorite pairing(s)? Yami Yugi/Kaiba, puzzleshipping, Joey/Mai, Pegasus/Kaiba (it cracks me up okay), umm thiefshipping I suppose, and darkshipping (Yami Yugi/Yami Bakura) for largely shallow reasons.
Misc
4. Are you re-applying? nope
5. Do you have a preference as to what gender of character you want to be rated as? not really
6. Are there any characters, for whatever reason, that you do NOT want to be rated as? well I'd prefer not to be rated as Weevil for convoluted inside joke reasons.
