Personality
Describe yourself: Well, let's see. I'm a philosophy student who loves logic, learning languages, and mathematics (even though I dislike numbers!). I don't think of myself as being very altruistic, but I really enjoy teaching people and helping folks out with things... so I don't really know. I like reading fantasy and science fiction, joking around with friends, folding origami models, and looking at flowers. I'm kinda quiet but pretty smart, and a little silly.
What are your talents? I'm good at explaining things, thinking in unusual ways, singing, cooking, and combining different colors and images to create interesting artsy stuff (collages, origami, LJ icons...).
What are you not so good at? History. My capacity for random memorization is next to nothing. Also, I'm not good at eating spicy food. Or being put on the spot in class. I always get so nervous. ^^;
When do you feel most secure? When I'm out in nature. I love being around lots of trees, and maybe a couple of grassy meadows for good measure.
What makes you uncomfortable? When I'm around a lot of people in a big noisy place. I like people and sensory input in moderation, but when it gets to be too much I get really antsy. I don't like it.
Are you more...
Optimistic/Pessimistic? I try to be optimistic... and I guess that makes me optimistic, doesn't it?
Bold/Timid? Depends entirely on who I'm with at the time. I'm usually the most timid person in a very forward group, and the boldest person in a timid group. Overall I'd say I'm more bold than timid, but it can change radically depending on my surroundings.
Calm/hyper? Calm, no question. I can be kinda ...lively... but I'm definitely not hyper.
Cerebral/Emotional? Cerebral. Emotions are important to me and they play a big part of who I am, but I put more weight on my thoughts. And I think a lot, sometimes too much.

The Raven's blood amplifies a person's weaknesses and darknesses. If you became infused with Raven's blood, how would you change? I'd probably try to be in control of everything. My emotions would be completely wiped out, and I would mercilessly judge everything that came into my path to my standard of perfection.
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? Probably a benevolently omniscient being, a teacher and a guide.
If there's one thing you could change about Princess Tutu's plot, what would it be? That... is a really hard question. I love the fairytale qualities of Princess Tutu, and removing any of the negative plot aspects would detract from the mythology. I guess I would have liked Uzura to stay around with Fakir and everyone, for the possibilities that would open up for the future.
If there's one thing you could change about your favorite character, what would it be? It's hard for me to choose a favorite, but my favorite would probably be Fakir. I can't think of anything I would like to change about him, though. Maybe the hairstyle? ^_^
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 Edel, which I didn't anticipate but I think it's pretty perfect. People thought I was mysterious, philosophical, that sort of thing... a human Edel. I agree with the stamp, and I think that if I was in her situation I probably would have done what she did, sacrificing herself... and then hopefully I would be reborn just as adorably. Obviously, I have more emotions and human faults, and I'm a little sillier and enjoy having fun, but... yeah, I'm quite Edel-ish. Answer ends here.
