Pet peeves: Too many to list to be completely honest but, I'll give a few up for fodder. People who try and buy others' affection rather than trying to earn it is probably one of my biggest pet peeves. I don't like it when people flirt too much and think of themselves as someone who can get anyone they want.
Strong personality traits: My ability to empathize and even be emotionally contagitive if the emotion is strong enough, with other people. I'm able to be a strong friend and a rock for those who need me. I can also be fairly willful when I know something is wrong and no one is taking care of it. Usually I wind up being the voice for other people.
Weaker personality traits: I'm very withdrawn and introverted. I don't like expressing how I'm feeling because I don't want to worry people or really bother them. I'm also horrible when it comes to people hitting on me, I've been told I'm very difficult to flatter and hit on because I completely go on with whatever subject it is or I act like it's a joke. I don't like to open up to people, I tend to keep a part of me distanced no matter who they are.
Describe yourself in three sentences: I am the girl who you'd find in the back of the library with her headphones on, her nose buried in a book or scribbling something down in one of many notebooks. I'm the girl staring out the window in the front of the bus/train with a distant look in her eyes that people can't tell if I'm daydreaming, spacing out or if there's something puzzling on my mind. Finally, I'm the girl singing softly to herself as she types a story or something of the like on online journal while having a piece of plain cheesecake in a coffeehouse.
Favorite Old Kingdom character? Why? That's hard for me. XD I adored most of the cast. My special favorites would have to be in the below order and with my reasons why:
Lirael: I found myself so easily relating to her and loving her character that it was almost a little startling. I related to the way she was so frustrated that she was unable to attain what she so clearly wanted (to be like her sisters). Her struggles, disappointments and her entire sacrifice is just amazing to me and that she felt the most human out of them all.
Mogget: XD How could a girl NOT love the Mogget? He's sarcastic, cranky, smug and arrogantly irritating; everything that suits his cat-persona. X3 I adore him to death with all his attitude and frustration, and the sinister at times motives he has. I cheered when he decided he was going to go on the side of the "good guys" rather than risk getting sealed or being killed/killing someone else. I'd love a Mogget!
Kibeth/Disreputable Dog: I can't tell you how sad I was when she died! I cried my eyes out at that scene every single time I read it at the end of Abhorsen. She cracked me up no matter what the situation was and I found myself smiling at how she would act just like a saucy woman when she wanted to and could be completely serious at other times.
Least favorite Old Kingdom character? Why? Oi... that's not too hard sadly. I didn't care much for Touchstone sadly. Sabriel felt like she was a little too... Sueish to me for a long time. She became much better developed in the final volume in my opinon. Sadly, I can't stand her kids. XD Sameth needs to get kicked badly and learn to deal with his fears, the bloody wimp. Ellimeire is a pain in the ass and needs to be sent out to learn some humility. She's entirely too arrogant and bossy in my opinion.

Introverted or extroverted?

Magically speaking...
Would you use weapons? If so, what kind? Err, really depends. My own preference would probably be with a longbow or with a pair of short-swords/long daggers.
If you could have any magical powers, what would you have? Honestly? I'd probably have to say I'd be the Healer of the group. I prefer helping people than killing things. But, if there's an element... most likely Wood or Water would be my element. Healing or Defensive magic would be my specialty.
If you could be any animal, what would you be? Why? Cat, doesn't matter what kind, preferrably a house cat or a white siberian tiger. I'm just a cat person and I'm told my personality is often that of a cats when it comes to people.
If stranded alone on an island, what three things would you need with you? My friends/family, unlimited water and food supply and some sort of shelter to keep us all safe.
Would you risk your own life to save someone? Of course, if you could make a difference in someone's life, wouldn't you?
Do you fancy any particular bell? Why? I'm fond of Saraneth and Astarael for some reason. Binder and Weeper; not too sure why I find them so appealing but.. if I had to pick one to wield? I'd most likely select Weeper because, well, the bell would cry in my stead rather than my own weeping.

Appearances..
I wear wigs so... I have a picture of me in a wig. It's not cancer, it's a disorder.
