Personality Questions:

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

-Warm? I basically love everyone I meet, and I take pleasure in making people feel special and that I've paid attention to them; even people I barely know, I think of them as special individuals. It's something I feel all the way through, to the point I usually completely miss anything less than what is fantastic about a person. Basically I idealize everyone, but someone has to do it, lol!

-I think I see the humor in everything. XD And sometimes make my own.

-Creative, I guess. I'm not sure if I can really claim that one, being surrounded by so many exceptionally creative people all the time, but I don't know what else to put there. XD

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

-Impulsive. I wouldn't call it spontaneous; it just goes along with being easily confused by what I'm feeling at the second and letting that direct my actions. I never really think anything through.

-Noncommittal...or I guess you could call that indecisive (lol, an answer that speaks for itself). I give up on people, feelings, and ideas, pretty fast, with pretty minimal reasoning.

-I have lots of trouble with disagreements or conflicts, to the point I can get downright avoidant. If something gets resolved, you can bet it wasn't by my initiative. I'm easily hurt and confused by these things when they happen and lose any stable perception of how to resolve anything.

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 like to mainly spend time by myself or just watch other people interact. That said, I like meeting new people all the time and I'm not necessarily shy about it, if more of a listener.

Cheerful [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] Gloomy
Explain: i would say zactly in the middle, as I swoop from one extreme to the other, but it's only in times of extreme stress that i get "gloomy"....most of the time i'm upbeat!

Leader [ ] [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] Supportive
Explain: It depends...but as I despise making decisions and usually think the best of anyone i'm with, i'm more inclined to want to follow/support.

Confident [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] Modest
Explain: Dehhh.... I have tons of confidence issues but I do like my measly contributions to things usually...

Reserved [ ] [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] Impulsive
Explain: Impulsive, but not in every given scenario. Only when i'm forced to make a decision, at which time I'll just do whatever without thinking - but in general I do have some restraint, lol.

Energetic [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] Calm
Explain: I can be downright insufferable when it comes to something I really get excited about XD but otherwise I would more likely calmly support other people's energy and not get right into it myself.

Feminine [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] Masculine/Tomboyish
Explain: I dunno. I'd like to say masculine/tomboyish, but that's because I have a huge appreciation for the masculine/tomboyish. XD Though I'm not really sure what qualifies one as feminine, I guess you could generally say that....I am more of that.

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.

I prefer working by myself, although I would choose to be in a team to have more reason to be around people, since I like to watch their interactions. In a team setting I like for someone else to make decisions, as I usually feel they know what to do better than I would - I think my best contribution to a team would be in that I do tend to direct things if nobody is offering leadership first, and I would want to know everyone's thoughts on dealing with a topic.

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

I like to draw, write, watch television, and lay around in weird places. I'm sorry if that's not detailed enough, but it's honestly not something I find that interesting to talk about, lol.

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

Doing something to help the less fortunate! I'm not sure what exactly, but I always find the most happiness bringing happiness to others.

Maybe something like counseling, because I do like to help people realize how awesome they are :) Maybe that's better suited to motivational speaking, but I'm more of a listener/carer than a motivator.

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.

FF5...because I just really liked the cast, and the jokes <3 Older and therefore a little less developed in the character aspect than later FF games, but I also can appreciate a script that leaves room for expansion in the imagination, which is what I of course would go on to do with it :D the light-hearted almost goofiness to the script too won me; I like stories where the characters can be hilarious at the same time as they are epic XD Also Bartz was just one of my favorites, not really a fancy kinda guy but he could play the piano and is open to getting AND giving lap dances, what's not to love?

FF8 I just really was won by the gameplay and actually enjoyed junctioning lol. I liked all the cast characters, especially because some of them could seem so unlikable at times that you just had to love em (is this bias?). Also it had a solid sense of humor within itself/constant hilarity despite being fairly serious in theory. I was also just charmed by the more militant feel of the whole thing, oddly. Out of all the FFs, barring perhaps FF9, the environments and cities were the most interesting and memorable for me.

FF9; imho the very best FF, if not my personal top favorite for reasons of nostalgia. The cast was so tight to me, and I adored the subtleties of the relationships everywhere and the weight the narrative gave to every cast member, the consideration and kindness the writers obviously felt for each character -- so that even by the end, I wanted to give Kuja a big hug, too, lol. Besides that, the gameplay was just the most fun, as with the technical stuff, with the abilities-through-armor thing - I liked, too, the more traditionally fantasy-type world we were given after 7 and 8.

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

Marcus (FFIX) He's not that exceptionally developed or even important, but he appeals to me in that he's pretty down to earth and not up to anything epic amidst a cast of otherwise massive drama; just on his humble quest across the world to restore his best bro, he's always had my heart.

Laguna...I loved him for being so silly! At any rate he was just a genuine nice guy, and I do like those characters <3

Butts, see above-- fun without being overly energetic, just a nice guy too? I think I see a theme here.

9) One to three characters you relate to (you may reuse answers from #8 if applicable) and why: Lenna, because I always walk straight into dangerous situations like a derp. Quina, because HELL YEAH I eat all the time. Seifer, because I have a romantic dream. ;D

10) The FF game you liked playing least:
FFX, probably just because I really didn't like the battle system and I didn't exceptionally enjoy the cast either.

11) One to three FF characters you dislike and why:
...Fratley for breaking my heart. :\ And also Freya was too good for him.
idk, I dont usually Dislike dislike characters. I kind of disliked original Cloud for being too much of a DIY character, though that's not his fault, it's the game itself's.

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):
Lol, I loved the troll Impartisan and Excalipoor from VI.

13) Your favorite Final Fantasy summon (e.g. Ifrit, Carbuncle, Bahamut, etc.):
I really loved summons in FF8 in general, just compared to their other game incarnations too; I think out of all in any game it's still a tie three from FF8--Quezacotl, Brothers, and Diablos. A good indication of where my prefs are geared; to the unique, to the hilarious, and [Wildcard]

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'm gonna come outta left field here and say Cecil's short-lived Dark Wave. Stuff's sexy.

15) A Final Fantasy mini-game/sidequest you invested entirely too much time into:
Mognet >_> and I usually avoid minigames but Chocobo Hot n Cold/treasure hunting on the world map/all the sidequests in ff9 ate my life, along with the Selkie jumping game in the original Crystal Chronicles (HOURS on that)

16) Your favorite Cid:
FF9; He's hilarious and endearingly flawed! Cid from Chocobo Racing would be a close runner up though for feeling it was acceptable to give a chocobo a pair of jet shoes. Also FF2, for talkin' smack about other people's airships.

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