Personality Questions:

1) List and expand upon your three best traits / strengths. (These should be personality-related, not physical.)

Friendly: I've always got something nice to say to everyone. Though I have a hard time opening up to people, everyone I meet deserves a smile from me. I try to be considerate and kind in hopes that it will be returned.

Creative: I have a unique way of looking at things, and a desire to express the thoughts that are in my head, and the way I see things.

Quiet: I tend to keep my opinions to myself, and I do consider this a positive thing about myself. I'm not loud or boisterous, I mostly try to stay out of the fray.

2) List and expand upon your three worst traits / weaknesses.

Shy/Meek: I have a hard time making my thoughts and feelings known to those around me. There are many times I feel myself on the losing end or choosing a more difficult route to avoid conflict.

Indecisive: I have a very hard time committing myself to decisions that are going to have great effect. I spend far too much time fretting over too many possibilities.

Disorganised: No, I don't know where it is. No, I don't know when I last saw it. No, I've got no idea when I used it last. If I knew these things, would I have asked for your help? :)

3) Rate yourself on the following traits by putting an 'X' in the box you think fits best. (E.g. if you are slightly more introverted than extroverted, put an 'X' in the second box.) Explain your choice as well.

Introverted [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Extroverted
Explain: I'm shy, and quiet, and would prefer a book by myself to drinks with friends.

Cheerful [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] Gloomy
Explain: I am very much a mood swing person, and on any given day can be an extreme in either direction.

Leader [ ] [ ] [ ] [x] [] Supportive
Explain: Most times, I do not trust my own instincts, and would never, ever encourage others to do so.

Confident [ ] [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] Modest
Explain: I do not like drawing attention to myself.

Reserved [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] Impulsive
Explain: I have a tendency to hang back and watch others. By the time I'm done thinking out probable outcomes, the opportunity has long passed me by!

Energetic [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] Calm
Explain: I prefer to be laid-back in most activities. Trying to rush stresses me out, as this is when I make mistakes, and I DO NOT like to make mistakes, especially if someone else is counting on me (or worse, waiting on me).

Feminine [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Masculine/Tomboyish
Explain: Girl. Girly girl. Lace and pink and pale and pretty and shiny and sweet.

4) Describe how you typically work in teams. Is it generally a good experience, or do you prefer working by yourself? Do you like to lead and make decisions or do you prefer to let others make decisions so that you can do the legwork? You may find it helpful to give an example of a team you worked on recently and how that went.

As I've stated before, I'm not much of a leader and I am not a fan of decisions, especially those which would effect others, as I'd hate to disappoint anyone, ever. I do enjoy working by myself, but I also like the sense of spirit there is in being a part of something larger, with people who are working toward the same thing you are.

5) What interests/hobbies do you have? How do you like to spend your free time?

I read. A lot. I play games when I should be reading. I spend many happy hours every day rolling around on the floor tickling little bellies, reading more stories, playing more games, and doing the best job I know how while I'm at it.

6) Describe one to three careers you would find ideal, with a little explanation of why it appeals to you.

Books and retail. Don't get me wrong, but I always found something satisfying in helping others find what they need, get what they want, do what they need to do. At the end of the day, you can be happy that you helped another person in their chaotic day to day life.

FF Questions:

7) List one to three favorite Final Fantasy games and why you like them. Sequels/spin-offs/non-numbered/KH/Dissidia games are okay.

Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy XIII. There is something about the worlds of those two games that have always drawn me in far deeper than most other games I've played (and I have to admit that my FF library has always been a little lacking). I loved everything about Spira, the myths and legends of the world, including the gigantic, fiend-shedding SEA MONSTER.

8) List one to three of your favorite Final Fantasy characters and why:

I find something intoxicating about Lulu, and the deep sense of sadness and mystery that permeates her cold, stoic exterior, letting you know there are depths to which you will never be invited. Lightning, and her steely focus on what needs to be done and what she thinks needs to be done, whether or not it may be right in the end or not, is also one of my favourites.

9) One to three characters you relate to (you may reuse answers from #8 if applicable) and why:

I've always been drawn to characters such as Yuna and Serah, quiet and thoughtful but with a strength of will that's always underestimated.

10) The FF game you liked playing least:

Final Fantasy VII (don't shoot me?)

11) One to three FF characters you dislike and why:

Vanille drives me nuts, I don't know why.

12) Favorite weapon in a Final Fantasy game (either the name if you liked the name, or a picture if you liked the look of it, or a description if it had awesome stats/abilities):

Yuna's Celestial Weapon, Nirvana is a pretty name for a pretty staff. What? I'm easy.

13) Your favorite Final Fantasy summon (e.g. Ifrit, Carbuncle, Bahamut, etc.):

Valefor, from Final Fantasy X. It's an emotional connection, as FFX was the first game of the series I'd played.

14) Your favorite spell/ability/technique that can be learned in a Final Fantasy game (e.g. Esuna, Steal, special finishes/overdrives such as Tifa's Final Heaven limit break, etc.):

I do love the white-lighted retribution of "Holy", although on the very opposite end of the spectrum, "Flare" in FFX has pretty animation.

15) A Final Fantasy mini-game/sidequest you invested entirely too much time into:

Everything up to and including searching for the Celestial Weapons in FFX. Dodging bolts and playing Blitzball saw days of my life melt away with nothing to show for it. ;)

16) Your favorite Cid:

Cid from FFX. He's so grouchy. ;)

17) Optional: Up to one class you think does not fit you, with reasoning why.
