Basics
Name:Nicole
Nicknames:Ela
Gender?female
Age?15
Likes:My saxophone. My piano. band. books. writing. friends. stories (though that's a little redundant since i already said books and writing.) webcomics. nature. ummmm, that's about it.
Dislikes: being alone and having no friends nearby is abig one. and there's also baseball, boring weekends (i need to be busy. my band has an insanely busy rehearsal schedule, and now i can't not be busy), the "popular" crowd, and people who don't recycle or waste fossil fules just because they're too lazy to do otherwise.
Hobbies/Interests: music, writing, karate, reading, i like acting but i never had time to join a drama club, and being with friends.
Special talents: well, i'm starting to notice that i can get a friend to tell me what's wrong all the time, so that's kind of a special talent. and i can make almost any little kid love me. and i'm practically a genius in history. other than that, i can play saxophone and piano, i taught myself to play recorder, i can write fairly well, and that's all i can think of.
Pet peeves: i'm kind of ocd about a lot of things . . . like i can't stand it when the shower curtain is closed. other than that, people who leave cars running when they're not in them. is it REALLY that hard to just turn it off? YOU'RE CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING!!
Strong personality traits: well, i'm really nice and sensitive, i'll never lash out at someone no matter how angry I get, i work really well, and I can almost always be happy.
Weaker personality traits: I don't like myself, and I'm not confident enough to trust that someone will like me. As a result, I'm typically silent, and I don't have quite as many friends as I could have. Actually, I'm really not confident when it comes to a lot of things. there's more, but i can't think of anything right now. Except that i'm forgetful and a little irresponsible because of that forgetfulness.
Describe yourself in three sentences:
Favorite Old Kingdom character? Why? that's hard. I love Lirael and I can relate to her sometimes. I love Sabriel. I love the Disreputable Dog but it always bugged me that the Dog did so much more for Lirael than Lirael did for the Dog. And I could never imagine the Dog as a her.
Least favorite Old Kingdom character? Why? that's also hard. i'll say Sanar and Ryelle because perfect people bug me, and they're the perfect clayr.

One or the other
Famous or rich? well, i'm not someone who really wants either, but there isn't anything wrong with being rich. being famous would be annoying because everyone would be in your business.
Friends or family? friends. outside of my own house, i've never really been close to my family. and my family bugs me very often, anyway.
Night or day? i like both
Optimist or pessimist? optimist, definitely
Leader or follower? i never really knew. I think that my ideas are often good, and I can think of organized ways to get things done, but I'm not good at being in front of people and bossing them around. On the other hand, I don't like blindly following anyone.
Introverted or extroverted? introverted

Magically speaking...
Would you use weapons? If so, what kind? Yeah, sure, I'd use weapons. I take karate and love it, and I'm sure other fighting arts are fairly similar. And I've done archery acouple times before and liked it. I guess I really don't have a preference on what kind of weapon.
If you could have any magical powers, what would you have? Um, I don't think I want any specific area of magic. It'd be better to be a regular charter mage, because they can do things in pretty much every area of magic.
If you could be any animal, what would you be? Why? Eagle. They can fly. And I don't want a normal, little bird. I'd rather be something majestic looking that can soar. And being a predator rather than prey would be nice too, even though I really don't like killing.
If stranded alone on an island, what three things would you need with you? something to read, something to write on, and some sort of musical instrument.
Would you risk your own life to save someone? Yeah, probably.
Do you fancy any particular bell? Why? Not really. Though there has always been something interesting about Astarael. I really don't know what it is. Maybe I just think the name is pretty.

Appearances..
If you want, feel free to post pictures of yourself, but please limit them to TWO (2). If you don't want to post images, feel free to write a simple description of yourself, so we can get a feel for who you are!
I'm 5' 6 3/4''. Dark, messy, longish hair Brown eyes. Rather large nose. Thin. My face shape is kind of long and thin. And I'm Italien. I know a lot of Italien people, so that kind of helps me place what someone looks. It might not help you.

Miscellaneous
Which character do you think you'll be stamped as? I don't know. I've always related to Lirael, because we both grew up feeling like we didn't belong. But I don't know what everyone else will think.
Where did you hear about us? I was bored, so I searched Garth Nix under interest.
Questions, comments, suggestions? Nope.
