Personality
Describe yourself: Ah, vague command ahoy. I am a determined person, who is solitude for the most part. I am independent, and am someone who cannot accept defeat easily. I spend most of my days either behind a computer screen, or with my nose in a book. I'm constantly dreaming, for my life is the same routine over and over again, so my only spice in life is the adventures I go on in my mind (and speeding on the highway..). I am intelligent, and appear to be aloof to some. I will readily smile at you, start a small conversation, but then I would enjoy to be alone once again. The few loved ones I have, I care deeply for, and refuse to let any harm come their way. I give advice often, and can be almost motherly. I'm quite eccentric, and have been an oxymoron of myself on more than one occasion. I have a weakness for stuffed animals, and one of my firm dreams is to never grow up (mature, yes, but not grow up). I am particular with placement of objects to the point of OCD, and have a large porcelain doll collection. I try to face my fears, for I believe it may help me overcome them. I do have a short fuse, but it recedes as quickly as it comes. I often question people, words, policies, etc., though it doesn't always mean I want an answer. I am somewhat paranoid, though I try to not let it affect my daily life (although it normally does..). I hate the cold weather, unless there is snow involved. I cannot stand to show any weakness, and I despise crying. I am a bit possessive of my possessions, but I can share when needed. Overall, I guess you could call me a boring person, who has her head in the clouds, but her feet nailed to the ground.
What are your talents? Various people have told me I have a gift for writing, thus I often sharped and improve this area. I can comprehend material very well, and can look at ideas/places/etc. from many different angles. I am quite creative, and am apparently very funny at times. I've also mastered the art of staring at my feet when surrounded by strangers.
What are you not so good at? I have no perception on such ideas as "fashion" or "style". I fail at a social life, and I have become more hesitant to forgive those who have harmed/used me. I find trouble filling up awkward silences between myself and others, and apparently have a very low voice. I am not very confident in myself, and I have slipped into the traits of a procrastinator.
When do you feel most secure? I feel most secure when I am in a small, quiet place alone. Being around nature also makes me feel very relaxed, and in the company of domestic animals.
What makes you uncomfortable? I feel terribly uncomfortable around large groups of people. I can handle a few, but when the crowd becomes twenty or more, I'm wishing desperately to get somewhere else. Being around my mother is also unpleasant, for she desperately tries to dominate me so she can have an excuse to be a lazy female dog who drinks like a fish.
Are you more...
Optimistic/Pessimistic? I would say more pessimistic. I can tell someone they're going to do well, but the logical person inside of me repeats how foolish it is to believe in something that has little or no chance on happening. However, I am very optimistic in my dreams coming true, no matter how odd and unbelievable they may be (I distract my logic with a candy bar in these situations).
Bold/Timid? As you can probably already guess, I'm a rather timid person. I can strike up a conversation randomly with a stranger, but I prefer to be by myself. I don't have an opinion on many issues, but the few I do, I am rather passionate about, and won't be afraid to stand up in the face of opposition.
Calm/hyper? I am normally calm to the point of being dead. My emotions are rather static, unless you hit a nerve with me, or I'm on a severe lack of sleep, then I can be giddy as a "school boy".
Cerebral/Emotional? I'm almost always cerebral, but I have been known to cave in to emotional desires when I find something cute (as in stuffed animals, not a pair of shoes, or something girly like that).
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 think my short fuse would burst. I believe I would often get into fights (verbal and physical), and may even go to the point of murder. I would have trust in no one, and would make someone's life hell if they crossed me. I would often carry around a weapon, and most likely develop an awesome evil laughter. Yet, after my initial rebellion, I would probably fall into a deep despair, and end up taking my own life, believing there would be no way for me to be saved.
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? Well, my low self-esteem would be gone, and I would gain some sort of confidence in myself. I would care deeply for the people around me, and would fight for the rights of everyone. I would be a very compassionate person, and would never give up on my goals.
If there's one thing you could change about Princess Tutu's plot, what would it be? As various people have stated, I would have liked a little more history on the town and much more background on Mytho's prince form. Ahiru remaining a girl would have made me quite happy, and who in the world did Neko-sensei end up with in the end!? You just see him strolling along, and all of the sudden, there's little Neko-sensei(s), and their mother! He chased after girls for that long, and bam, he's already a father in the course of a few minutes/hours/days!? In all seriousness, I would have also liked to see what happened to Drosselmeyer. Where in the world would he go? Could he manipulate other stories he had written during his life time? Oh, and why did Edel have to come back as something so annoying, yet deadly cute?
If there's one thing you could change about your favorite character, what would it be? Honestly, I enjoyed both Mytho and Rue's characters. To change something about them would only hurt their development, so I'll let them remain the same (although, Mytho? Could you have let down Ahiru a little easier? I did not appreciate nearly crying with 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 Fakir, although I did get a few Ahiru votes, and a decent amount of people found a bit of Autor in me too. I was at first surprised, then when I looked at Fakir's personality, it did hit me a lot of the qualities I possess are similar to his. We both are determined, loyal, have short fuses, etc. Ahiru surprised me even more, because I felt I couldn't compare to the pure heart Ahiru had. She fought so hard for someone she knew she could never have. I really admired her, and honestly wished I could be more like her. I can also see some similarities with Autor, and I like to believe I look just as menacing with my glasses. Answer ends here.
Links to 3 apps you voted on (update as you go on): One little application, Two little application, and three little application.
Note: The last one is for the new Love Match theme, since there's no other Antithesis applications to vote on.
Anything else? Since I just realized people can't see my comments after I screen them, let me say here that I thank you for taking the time to vote on my application.
