How did you find out about this community? I saw a link to it in one of chacusha's posts.

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

- Assertive! I don’t let myself get pushed around and find myself leader most of the time, hehe.

- Blunt, although, this could be a weakness too. I’ll voice my feelings when needed, and tell you the flat out truth, which people appreciate, LOL.

- Loyal. I’m so loyal, it’s kinda sad. Once I know I can trust you, I’ll protect you and defend you until my death.

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

- Hate to say it, but I’m very apathetic. I find it hard to have pity/feelings for people most of the time, even for close/loved ones. I hate this trait about myself, to be honest.

- Pessimistic. I tend to think the worst of situations, and often they will happen since I bring it upon myself, l-lol.

- Procrastinator. I tend to put A LOT of things at the last minute, which then proceeds to bite me in the butt later on L-LOL.

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 my alone time. I’m constantly out and about all day, so it’s nice to just stay inside and relax. However, I get cabin fever if I’m inside for TOO long (ex., two days in a row, etc.).

Cheerful [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [x] Gloomy
Explain: I try to be happy, but it’s very difficult. However, I’m not gloomy ALL the time. Truth be told, I’m actually a lot of fun to talk to when I’m not in a bad mood.

Leader [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Supportive
Explain: I can easily be supportive, but I prefer to take initiative. Being a leader is what comes best to me.

Confident [ ] [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] Modest
Explain: I’m have enough confidence to get by, I suppose. I won’t go out anf flaunt how great I am, though LOL.

Reserved [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] Impulsive
Explain: I always need to have a plan. Although, sometimes I’ll go off and do whatever.

Energetic [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Calm
Explain: I’m generally very calm. I serve as a foil to many people’s energetic/hyper personalities, l-lol.

Feminine [ ] [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] Masculine/Tomboyish
Explain: I tend to act like a boy most of the time, contrary to my looks. But, I’ll never find burping hilarious.

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.

To be honest, I’m pretty easy-going. If the situation needs it, I’ll be a supporter, and do a damn good job of it. However, I’ve always been more of a leader. I’m good at putting people in the right direction, getting work done and helping others along the way.

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

I LOVE to draw. I draw everyday, that’s how much I love it LOL. I also love to write short stories in my spare time. I’m actually working on a comic right now, which is pretty much the ‘best of both worlds’ (ughmileycyrusihateyou).

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

Graphic Novel Illustrator/Mangaka/whatever you wanna call it: Ohmygods, I LOVE DRAWING. I love making characters, I love to make stories with them. I love to draw action scenes, love scenes, dramatic scenes, just ugh. Everything about comics make me hnnnng.

Novelist: I would LOVE to write an entire book. I have so many ideas in my head, and they just can’t stay there forever!

Voice actress: Hehe, I love to do fandubs in my spare time. I can act well enough and I can always find an appropriate voice for a particular character.

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.

First off, Final Fantasy VI is my most favourite game of ALL TIME HNNNNG-. I just love everything about it; the characters, the story, the world, the gameplay, just EVERYTHING. It was so well put together and every character had a back story as well as being important to the overall plot. Plus, Kefka is possibly one of the greatest villains of all time.

Final Fantasy V follows quickly after, for a lot of the same reasons. Come on; a villain who’s a tree that wants to banish EVERYTHING into NOTHING? That’s pretty badass. It was also a pretty light-hearted Final Fantasy; it had so much funny dialogue, especially with Gilgamesh.

Next would probably be Final Fantasy VIII. I don’t care what people say, I think the plot and gameplay was excellent. It was very different *gameplay wise* from my beloved VI&V, but that’s what made it so memorable. Plus, I’m such a sucker for a good love story.

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

Terra Branford would be the first, definitely. She’s very confused about herself and scared; what is she? Why is she here? I think there’s a little Terra in all of us; a hesitant, scared girl that knows almost nothing of the world outside of our home. But, Terra grows so much throughout the FFVI plot. She gains confidence and answers; she finds love in the most unlikely of places. She believes in herself and her powers to protect the ones she loves.

Rinoa Heartilly. Yes, she can be annoying, but hey, EVERY character can get annoying at one point or another. Rinoa was so cute and playful, I couldn’t help but like her. She grew up so much from Disc one to the end of Disc three. At first she seems naive and stubborn, but she’s also optimistic and kind. She gives everyone a chance, even the anti-social Squall.

Eiko Carol is so cute! Agh, I’m such a sucker for the cute ones... But, I do love Eiko. She seems bratty, but she knows a lot more than she lets off. She even teaches Garnet a thing or two, hehe.

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

Probably most like Celes Chere. She’s a powerful, confident woman, but inside there’s so much doubt in herself. She’s been used by people for her powers, but takes the blows and stands up for what’s right. Even the serious general Celes can have a sense of humour, hehe.

10) The FF game you liked playing least:

Final Fantasy III, purely because leveling up was annoying and even if you leveled up enough, the bosses would still own you LOL.

11) One to three FF characters you dislike and why:
Probably Cloud. I didn’t like him.

At all.

I just couldn’t relate to him as a character; then again, I didn’t like/relate to A LOT of the cast from FFVII. Actually, I didn’t like Yuffie very much, either. She just got on my nerves most of the time.

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):

This is a tough one... I pretty much liked all of Cyan’s swords, because they had such great stats. I also liked Morning Star, purely because it did the same damage from the back-row, lol.

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

Ohgodz, I really loved Giant Cactuar in VIII LOL. His 1000 needles attack always saved my butt. I also loved Tonberry, not just for his attack, but also for his LVL-UP and LVL-DOWN abilities that helped me get rare items. :’D

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.):

Ultima. Its spell sequences look cool in every game, plus it deals a hell of a lot of damage lol.

Quistis’s Laser Eyes always makes me laugh... In a good way.

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

Making Gau all pretty to meet his dad. So sad, sobsob.

16) Your favorite Cid:

Maybe VIII? He was so... I don’t even know, but that was my favourite version LOL. Banana Cid from VI was weird, too.

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

Definitely NOT White Mage material, LOL. I’m a bit too cynical and aggressive to be one.
