Age: 16
Gender: Femme
Personality
Describe yourself: I am an energetic, happy, upbeat person. I'm also quite honest--- sometimes to the point of bluntness. But during a serious matter, I'm usually one of the first to be realistic. In general, I like to follow the beat of my own rhythm and I could care less about others' opinion about me. I acknowledge the fact that I am my own person and I like being my odd self. :3 I have a creative side and I enjoy exploring the arts... like poetry or painting even if I'm not the best at it. xD Sometimes I can be pessimistic, indecisive, and even shy depending on the circumstance. I can also be a bossy, especially when I'm working in a group. (Although even when I really don't want to be a leader, people look to me for some reason. D:) I also have a bad habit of taking a different, sometimes harder path than others. A lite example would be, when picking a topic for a project in school, I usually go after the one that is the most unpopular or hardest to do. (I think that happened once back in 9th grade during a Lord of the Flies character project. Out of the whatever hundred kids in my teacher's LA classes, I was the only one to pick Simon while everyone else picked Jack or Piggy.)
What are your talents? graphic design, figure ice skating, poetry, and I can play the oboe and piano (not the greatest but good enough for me! ♥). I want to say photography also. :3
What are you not so good at? mathematics, most sports, taking care of children, approaching most adults (especially if they have some authority), keeping in contact with people, etc.
When do you feel most secure? When I have at least one friend or some person I know with me incase I need some back up. :P
What makes you uncomfortable? Speaking Spanish, approaching certain adults, and I have to speak in front of people and I'm totally unprepared.
Are you more...
Optimistic/Pessimistic? Pessimistic... but apparantly other people think I'm optimistic.
Bold/Timid? Depends on the situation. I'm usually timid when I meet someone I don't like or don't know... and I sometimes need to drag a friend along with me to give me an extra push. But I can be bold if I want to.
Calm/hyper? Calm most of the time. I'm hyper when I'm having fun or being silly... but then who doesn't?
Cerebral/Emotional? Emotion usually comes first and then my brains acts right after. I usually try my hardest to use both my head and heart. But the heart will usually be my initial reaction.

The Raven's blood amplifies a person's weaknesses and darknesses. If you became infused with Raven's blood, how would you change? I think I would be bursting with anger, almost like a burning explosion... maybe even a little violent. I've even been told by my friends that I'm the one most likely to start an argument. I have a bad short temper that I got from my mom. XD I think I can be intimidating when I'm really angry and I know...unfortunate things will happen. o_o That sounds kinda scary right there.
On the flip side...
The Hope shard, as the pendant that transforms Ahiru into Princess Tutu, could be in one sense a manifestation of the strongest parts of herself. If you were transformed similarly with the shard, what kind of a being would you become? I think my enthusiasm will be the strongest trait that will show through with the shard. I can be very enthusiastic about things and it's usually that enthusiasm that has helped me and my friends follow through with our goals. I'm not great at giving advice nor am I a deep thinker, but whenever someone feels like they are nothing special or useless, I would be the one to say "No... you are a remarkable person in so many ways and let me tell you why." If you need a hand to help support you, I'll be there and let you'll know that I'm at your side all the way. As for an actual being, I think I would be a fairy or a pixie ♥. Fairies like to have fun with art, dancing, and music... they are also very spirited beings... and I'm pretty much free-spirited and carefree myself~ :'D
If there's one thing you could change about Princess Tutu's plot, what would it be? I don't think I would change the plot, but I would like more background information... especially on Drosselmeyer, the town, etc.
If there's one thing you could change about your favorite character, what would it be? My favorite character is Princess Kraehe... I don't think I would change her at all since it was her given personality which made me like her.
Note to voters: The next question involves knowing what character this member was stamped as. If you'd rather not know this so as not to affect how your vote will go, don't highlight. :P
Reflect on your regular stamped character(s). Why did people vote you as that character? What characteristics do you personally think you share in common with the character, and what do you think differs? Highlight for answer: I was voted as Rue for my normal stamped. I can see a lot of Rue in me--- we are both pessimistic and even a little conflicted... especially at the time when I sent in my application. But now I don't see her fully in me... but she is definitely there. Answer ends here.

Anything else? The questions this time around was really fun. :3
Oh! I'm addicted to this song... it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL ♥ (in my opinion). I'm gonna post the lyrics. :3
Cold Light of Day by Queen Adreena
i arch my back to touch the stars
as they fall from my hand
for tommorrow the sun will rise again
a pearl a grain of sand
i let the clothes slip from my bones
i step into the stream
for tommorrow the sun will rise again
i'm washing my hands clean
my darling child was lost at sea today
and in the cold light she fades
show me how to break the waves
collision of the soul
for tommorrow the sun will rise again
she's taking me back home
my darling child was lost at sea today
and in the cold light she fades
my darling child was lost at sea today
and in the cold light she fades
she fades
she fades
she fades
she fades
