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.

I believe you'd make quite the White Mage. All of your personality traits remind me so much of Yuna, honestly. She's quiet, reserved, calm, friendly (very!), and when you mentioned that you're laid back and you don't like making mistakes. .it reminded me of how Yuna was when it came to her devotion (defeating Sin.) I don't know, maybe it's just me, but the majority of traits fit well as a White Mage.

PS: I'm glad my comm helped you find your way to this lovely site! :D

[the-404-error.livejournal.com]

I really kept on thinking of a White Mage from the start to finish. Most of them are quite friendly and usually have something nice to say about everyone... except perhaps some of the villains, and even then there are characters like Yuna who even found kind things to say about Seymour. Most of them are quiet, some are shy, and they're easily one of the most supportive of the classes here. Modest, reserved, feminine... you even prefer holy!

[papercloud.livejournal.com]

Everything about your application really reminds me of a White Mage. The three traits you mentioned for both categories already made me think of that category, but everything else just confirmed this thought! Your overall tone and the words you chose to describe your thoughts/feelings underlined this as well (especially your Favorite FF-character-answer, somehow).

[lightofeilia.livejournal.com]

I think the fact that you're shy, reserved, supportive, and introverted makes you a White Mage!

Neutral

[chacusha]

Pretty much everything fits White Mage! Positive and negative traits, lack of confidence in the leader role, liking to help others, feminine, etc.

[hilian.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking White Mage as well. Your positive/negative traits and your "rate yourself" setion remind of many white mage characters. I think most of them are quiet and tent to keep their opinions for themselves, more introverted/shy than extroverted, modest and laidback, and you remind me a lot of characters like Yuna and Rosa.

[virago-queen.livejournal.com]

Jumping on the White Mage train. Girly, supportive, shy, and with a fairly obvious maternal streak, you make an excellent healer type. The characters you relate to support that, also.

[arivess.livejournal.com]

White Mage, for sure! You seem so sweet and cute and awwwwww. And you seem really gentle, supportive and caring.

[breyzyyin.livejournal.com]

Well, it is pretty much redundant at this point...but I really do like the White Mage votes for you. Quite a few of your positive and negative traits fit really well for characters in that job class to me. Many of them (Aria, Yuna, Hope, Ovelia) tend to be rather shy and introverted, quite a few of them are balanced between cheerful and gloomy depending on situations...along with calm and energetic too (Garnet, Aerith, Shirma, Sara Altney, Rosa), they tend to be supportive, more modest, and rather reserved (Alma, Minwu, Yuna, and Aria are examples of this as well). I could see quite a few White Mage characters agreeing with your viewpoints on leadership and group-work as well...and perhaps being quite interested in books and retail for the sake of being able to help someone else out during their day as well too. All in all, you just strike me as a very kind-hearted and thoughtful person which tends to be a staple-mark for White Mage characters in the FF series overall. :D

[breyzyyin.livejournal.com]

At the risk of sounding horribly unoriginal by this point, I have to agree with the White Mage votes! You're friendly, creative, and quiet...which are all traits I could associate with different White Mage characters. You're also introverted; can be either gloomy or cheerful; lean more towards supportive; don't like drawing attention to yourself; reserved; prefer to be laid-back in most situations; and are feminine...your application reminded me a lot of White Mage characters like Yuna and Rosa, honestly! Most of the White Mage characters fear disappointing others when it comes to working in teams...and, while some could probably work by themselves, they seem to like the spirit of working with others for something larger than themselves. I could picture a lot of White Mage characters enjoying reading too...and they'd probably like working in books and retail for the same reasons you would! :)

[stormloire.livejournal.com]

...hoping on with everyone else White Mage at this point. Very weak(at least how you portray yourself), timid, doesn't like to lead, and likes to help others(judging from the "Holy") is White Mage and very Aerith/Yuna...

and don't worry not everyone like FF VII...like me

[izumabakumatsu.livejournal.com]

In the beginning, there was the faint seeds of White mage and Dragoon... buat as soon as I finished the Personality Bar questions, you're a full White Mage, top to bottom. I can't say much why that is, just that you're pretty close to the typical White Mage characteristics. I'd say the old Yuna, and Rosa with a toned down attack power is a very close comparison.

RPG character-wise. You'd be the White Mage member using staves or rods, with robes or arcane clothes as armour. Your evasion might be higher than most, your spells probably filled with white and probably green spells. Certainly not an offensive member, you'd fit well being the support member of the team, concentrating on boosting and curing your allies, and weakening your enemies by statuts ailiments. In a way, a pretty well- balanced white mage character.

[glacialphoenix]

You're very White Mage! Shy, more supportive than leader, modest, and the 'quiet, thoughtful, but with strength of will' characters are usually the White Mage-esque ones as well.

[sai_salamander]

Oh dear, there's nothing I can add to the overall massive White Mage consensus, other than to say I AGREE.

[panda3035.livejournal.com]

I thought White Mage as well as everyone. You're just so supportive and friendly and caring

[panda3035.livejournal.com]

sorry, I'm an no class

[haryan.livejournal.com]

Definitely White Mage. You remind me a lot of characters like Rosa and Yuna, because you're girly, laidback, modest, shy and quiet, indecisive and friendly. And I really don't know what I can add yto my explanation, because mostly everything in your application remind me a lot of White mage!
