Gender: Female
Personality
Describe yourself:
When I think of myself, the first thing that comes to mind is my determination. I'm a very goal-oriented person. I like starting projects and I love finishing them even more. I thrive on being busy and I feed on stress (well, okay, I get overstressed a lot and I lose weight easily XD;). I can get so absorbed in doing something that I forget everything else. I'm also pessimistic and easily worried. I worry too much, in fact, to the point that I can't fall asleep worrying about bills, the inevitability of death, a current project...anything, really.
I'm often described as quiet, reliable, and intuitive. But people tell me I'm pretty cheerful and happy, as well (as if I have no problems they say 0_0). I'm not afraid to speak out if I know it's needed. I'm loyal and trustworthy.
What are your talents? I'd like to believe I write fairly well especially since I'm planning to be a journalist when I graduate college next year. :P I'm into graphics design, drawing, watercolor, singing (but it's more of I like to sing rather than it being a talent). I'm dedicated to my work...is that a talent? XD
What are you not so good at? Physical activity. Sports. Dancing. Stuff like that. ^^; Basically, I suck at being athletic. I also don't know how to cook dishes, just simple frying.
When do you feel most secure? When I'm surrounded by things that are familiar or when I'm with people I love and trust.
What makes you uncomfortable? I get nervous when I'm with people I don't know or I just went somewhere for the first time. The feeling usually wears off when I get warmed up.
Are you more...
Optimistic/Pessimistic? Inwardly pessimistic, outwardly optimistic. I usually comfort others and listen to their problems but I try to keep mine to myself.
Bold/Timid? In my line of work (or soon-to-be-work, anyway), it's hard to be timid. XD Personality-wise, I'm still pretty much a timid person but I'm pretty bold work-wise.
Calm/hyper? Calm to the point of appearing unemotional, really. But when I talk to people, I often smile a lot, giving off an energetic, hyper-ish vibe.
Cerebral/Emotional? I think too much. But I can't say I'm not ruled by my emotions. I'm just very successful at hiding them and appearing calm and happy.
Princess Tutu Related
The Raven's blood amplifies a person's weaknesses and darknesses. If you became infused with Raven's blood, how would you change?
I would become an extreme workaholic who gets so engrossed that she forgets her family and friends. I would also become paranoid and worry myself to death about even the littlest things. My emotions would explode all over the place because I wouldn't be able to keep them in. I would become manic-depressive.
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 would strike the perfect balance between work and play. I'd be blissfully content with what I've achieved with my life and I'd find my niche in the world. I would be selfless and help those I can whenever I can while taking care of myself and realizing I need love and affection, too. I would be at peace with myself.
If there's one thing you could change about Princess Tutu's plot, what would it be? I wish it could have been longer. <.<; That's all there is, really. There are still some unresolved things and although imagination (and fanfics XD) can fill in the gaps, I'm still left wanting more.
If there's one thing you could change about your favorite character, what would it be? Fakir? Mm, I like him the way he is. I was irritated at him at first but I grew to love him and that's the way his character should be revealed. If he weren't the way he was, we wouldn't love him this much, won't we?
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 stamped as Ahiru although I got a few Fakir votes. Voters said I was cheerful, clumsy, determined, sensitive, and a daydreamer like Ahiru. :P Haley said I was like a gentler version of Fakir. Personally, I think I agree with the Fakir vote. I can't be as selfless as Ahiru and I think my clumsiness got overemphasized. XD But I agree that we're both sensitive and determined. Answer ends here.
