Basics
Name: Louise.
Nicknames: Elle, Lulu, Lu. (My dad has taken to calling me 'Leelu' from the Fifth Element. Tch.)
Gender? Female.
Age? Seventeen.
Likes: Acting. Writing. Reading. Dressing up. Oscar Wilde. Acting (♥). Shakespeare. Jack Kerouac. Chocolate. Tea and scones. Strawberry jam. Cats and dogs. Firefly/Serenity. Jack Davenport. Polaroids. Rugged men. Top hats. History. Having favourite characters who tend to be less popular at first until people realise how awesome they are (aka Norrington.) - until said favourite character dies, then it becomes a dislike. (All my favourites tend to die. Hm.)
Dislikes: People who are rude without reason. Disrespect. Cruelty. Idiots. Closed-minded people. Backstabbing. Being ignored/rejected. Mashed potato.
Hobbies/Interests: Acting/Writing again. Film, theatre, photography. I enjoy anything creative or where I get to be the center of attention (:3).
Special talents: Um. I take pride in being fairly creative. (Though my ideas tend to be a little too epic...) I'm a good actor and writer; but there is still lots of room to grow and mature and learn new things.
Pet peeves: Dripping taps. They drive me insane. 'Accidentally' flipping through a book and reading something horrible and spoilery (Harry Potter book #5 anyone? Erk.)
Strong personality traits: Um, hm. I can't not be nice to people, unless they irritate me beyond comprehension, and then I tend to be very sarcastic. (So perhaps that leans to more of a weak personality trait.) Um, I'm fairly confident, and calm - I don't stress out visibly, so other people tend to rely on me in tough situations. I try to be the voice of reason - keyword try, haha.
Weaker personality traits: I tend to feel guilty even when I'm not in the wrong; like, if I yell at someone for hurting me somehow I feel guilty, too. Sometimes I say or do things without thinking and regret them later, but I definitely want to be a bit more of a stronger person - so I don't feel like I'm easily shoved aside, or 'rejected'. I can be a very sensitive person and so this ends up hurting me a lot - or irritating other people who aren't as sensitive and don't get it. (Of course, being sensitive isn't always a weak personality trait - but still.)
Describe yourself in three sentences:
"No great artist ever sees things as they really are." - Oscar Wilde, 'The Decay of Lying'.
"Every woman is a rebel, and usually in wild revolt against herself." - O.W, 'A Woman of No Importance.'
"I dislike arguments of any kind - they are always vulgar, and often convincing." - O.W, 'The Importance of Being Earnest.'
Favorite Old Kingdom character? Why? Nicholas! Oh, Nick. I love the rather tragic, sacrificed hero-types - and I just really liked him as a character. Close in line are Mogget and Sabriel - Mogget for his wit and Sabriel for her courage; she's the type of person I'd want to be. :)
Least favorite Old Kingdom character? Why? I didn't really have a least favourite. To begin, I didn't particularly like Lirael - but I think that was because I was such a hardcore Sabriel fan that I couldn't see anyone taking her place. If I had to pick a least favourite, it would be Sam, because he tends to be a coward and cowards aren't the type of people I like. :) Then again, he redeems himself at parts, so really I don't have a least favourite.

One or the other
Famous or rich? Truthfully? Neither - although rich would probably come in handy.
Friends or family? I'm not close to a lot of my extended family, so I suppose this would border on 'both' as well.
Night or day? Night; though it scares the hell out of me sometimes, I find it much more appealing.
Optimist or pessimist? Optimist. I've gotta try and find the bright side of things, or just think positive. Thinking negative won't get you anywhere, in my opinion.
Leader or follower? I lean towards being both - I'll follow when needed, and lead, too.
Introverted or extroverted? Both? I'm usually pretty introverted around strangers, and then become more extroverted as I become more comfortable.

Magically speaking...
Would you use weapons? If so, what kind? Weapons? Sure. I'm very fond of swordfights - so a sword would be wonderful. Or protective/defensive spells.
If you could have any magical powers, what would you have? Perhaps some sort of healing power? I'm not terribly sure.
If you could be any animal, what would you be? Why? A cat, definitely. They're so agile and really have a certain presence about them.
If stranded alone on an island, what three things would you need with you? James Norrington, a laptop with amazing wireless internet connection, and a trained pigeon in case the laptop fails. (Norrington is just there to look pretty.)
Would you risk your own life to save someone? That would all depend on the situation, I think. And at the risk of sounding like a self-centered loser, I most probably would.
Do you fancy any particular bell? Why? Astarael, definitely. It takes guts to use that bell.
