I WANT TO DANCE TOO [GENERAL CHARACTER]
Basics
Name: lostinabook
Nickname: see above
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Personality
Likes: writing, reading fantasy novels, anime, journalism, video editing, plushies
Dislikes: pointless activities, people who take advantage of/hurt others, liars, (and generally things that people do that aren't very nice)
Hobbies: writing, playing video games (does that count as a hobby?), drawing
Talents: Writing (again)
Ambitions/Goals: One day, I want to be a bestselling author. *heart*
Strong points: I'm a good listener, loyal friend, and keep the promises I make. I also think of myself as creative, since more than half of the time, my head is up in the clouds, thinking about new stories that I can write.
Weak points: I can be bitingly sarcastic if someone rubs me the wrong way. Particularly if said someone is messing with my friends. It's not something that I'm proud of, but I've got my temper under control so that I don't snap at my friends.
Your personality in 3 words: creative, loyal, happy
Mature/immature: Mature, since my mind works in a logical manner, and more often than not, I'm kinda the "adult" of the group (see Leader/follower).
Outgoing/shy: Outgoing; I used to be afraid of meeting new people or standing up in front of my classmates and performing and such, but nowadays, I don't mind it all. It's become part of my personality.
Graceful/clumsy: Not so sure on this one. I have better-than-average balance, but I've been known to trip over my own two feet if I'm surprised or upset.
Optimistic/pessimistic: Optimist! ^_^ I've always seen things from the "glass-half-full" perspective; I never see the worst in any situation.
Leader/follower: Leader, definetely, even though that part of my personality didn't hit me until about a year ago, when I took over as Editor-in-Chief of the school paper and my classmates started treating me like I was a teacher. @_@ Earning respect from a room full of high-school students (most of whom are younger than me, since I'm graduating) taught me some leadership skills.
Favorite
Color: Hmm... it's between blue and green.
Animal: Don't have a favorite
Food: Strawberries!
Scents/smells: No idea. ;^_^
Fairy tale: The Snow Queen. I'm a sucker for happy endings.
Princess Tutu character, explain: Fakir, because he's a writer like me!
Least Favorite
Color: Orange. It only looks good on Halloween
Animal: Snails. They creep me out.
Food: Asparagus.
Scents/smells: None
Fairy tale: The Steadfast Tin Soldier. T_T So sad... he didn't deserve an ending like that.
Princess Tutu character, explain: Probably Drosselmeyer, because he let himself get too obsessed with tragedy and couldn't see that the world was better off without his stories. I guess I don't like him since what he does in the show is in constrast to my own writing style; I just develop the characters and the situation, and then let the characters tell me what should happen. Although, without him, we wouldn't have Princess Tutu, though, would we?
Questions
Have you ever taken ballet lessons? How did you find the experience? I took lessons when I was around four... also about the same time I started writing stories, now that I think about it. Anyway, I really enjoyed it, and have taken other types of dance classes since, but ballet is the one that I really want to return to.
If you find out that the only way to save the one you love is to disappear into a flash of light, what would you do? Think about all the different possibilites, and if there really was no other way, then I'd do it.
If your life were a fairy tale, which would it be (and why?) Hmm... I have no idea. @_@ It would probably be some kind of modern retake, where the princess saves the prince, since, there is no way I'm waiting around for a guy to save me when I'm perfectly capable of saving myself.
Picture (optional -- feel free to just describe yourself if you don't have/don't want to post pictures): Medium height, long brown hair, slightly tanned skin, and blue-green eyes.
