Personality Questions:
1) List and expand upon your three best traits / strengths. (These should be personality-related, not physical.)
My determination. I don't just give up. I keep pushing through, even if I'm uncomfortable, even if I'm tired and sad. I follow through.
My intuition. I am hypersensitive to other people's emotions. I can almost always tell how the people around me are feeling, what to say that will make them feel better, how to tactfully make suggestions.
My tolerance. I don't care what people do, as long as it doesn't damage someone else and they don't try to force their beliefs on other people. I can accept almost anyone I meet for who they are, and I don't assume I know anything about their situation, which is nice.
2) List and expand upon your three worst traits / weaknesses.
My forgetfulness. I forget lots of things and it makes me come across as flaky or uncaring, when that's not the case at all. I'd just forget my own head if it wasn't screwed on.
My sensitivity. I can take a lot more abuse than I used to. I mean, I used to start crying anytime someone was angry with me. But I'm still so sensitive--I hate when others are upset, I hate when people are angry, and I can't let those feelings go, it really affects me.
My anxiety. I worry about things constantly. Stupid things, things that honestly don't matter. It's something I'm improving on, but I'm not perfect.
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 seem very extroverted, like I wear my heart on my sleeve, but I really like to keep my thoughts and feelings to myself. I don't like to parade them around, I like to hide when I'm upset or sad or angry, and I tend to keep unpleasant emotions bottled up.
Cheerful [ ] [X ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Gloomy
Explain: Most of the time, I'm really perky and excited and happy about life, running around, singing the Muppet song.
Reserved [ ] [ ] [ ] [ X] [ ] Impulsive
Explain: I really just go with the flow, follow my feelings, my dreams, my perceptions, my 'I really want coffee now' impulses. Sometimes, it gets me into trouble. Sometimes, it leads me into grand adventures.
Energetic [X ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Calm
Explain: I am so much energy all the time. All the time. People think I'm nuts half the time because I'm just so excited about life.
Feminine [ ] [ ] [X ] [ ] [ ] Masculine/Tomboyish
Explain: I wear what's comfortable. I do simple things with my hair and wear jeans and a t-shirt.
Grudge-holding [ ] [ ] [X ] [ ] [ ] Forgiving
Explain: It depends. I'm very forgiving to a point. However, if I'm let down enough times, I hold the grudge and don't let go of it.
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 like to do things efficiently. Sometimes, that means working alone. Sometimes, that means working in a group. Sometimes, I lead. Sometimes, I follow. Mostly, I end up leading. But however I can get the job done best is how I'm going to get it done. Recently, in ASL, I chose to work alone because no one in class that was a hard worker signed as well as I do and had the same work ethic, so I decided it would be best for me to do it alone. However, in history, I gravitated to hard-working people, and we divided and conquered to do research. It just depends. I strive to work smarter, not harder.
5) Spider-Man Decision: If you had to choose between saving two dozen innocent children and saving your best friend/significant other/person closest to you, which would you pick and why?
The two dozen innocent children. I'm very much someone who tries to follow the path of the greatest good. True, I'll miss my person closest to me more than I'll miss those children, but there are two dozen on them, and one of my person. It wouldn't be fair to rescue my person, it wouldn't be right. So I'd save the children.
6) Your friend has had their feelings hurt and comes to you for consolation. What do you do? Let's say, two days later they come to you again still upset over the same issue. What would you do in that case?
I sit down and talk with them. I walk them through how they're feeling and give them advice on what I think they should do. I give them a hug if they need it. :)
7) What interests/hobbies do you have? How do you like to spend your free time?
I write. I read. I run. I really enjoy spending time with my friends. I play video games.
8) Describe one to three careers you would find ideal, with a little explanation of why it appeals to you.
I'd love to teach English. I adore the English language and I think that teenagers don't have an appreciation for how beautiful it is.
I'd love to write. I love figuring out how to make things sound good and creating stories and characters and sentences that work.
I'd love to interpret. I love sign language and I love English and finding ways to communicate well in both languages makes me happy.
FF Questions:
9) List one to three favorite Final Fantasy games and why you like them. Sequels/spin-offs/non-numbered/KH/Dissid
Final Fantasy Tactics. Because it's so much fun to play, I can control everything, the characters and story is amazing and it is just so awesome.
Final Fantasy XII. Because the world is so rich and the story is so twisted and convoluted and the characters are fantastic.
Final Fantasy XIII. Because I really connected to the characters and their relationships with each other.
10) List one to three of your favorite Final Fantasy characters and why:
Lightning Farron. Because I can relate to her and she's beast and she'd do anything for her sister.
Vaan. Because I found his growth to be really effective and I thought that the way he dealt with anything was poignant and real.
Fran. Because she is badass, without being a total jerk or hard.
11) One to three characters you relate to (you may reuse answers from #8 if applicable) and why:
Lightning Farron. Because I understand the desire to go alone and protect your family by yourself. I understand the anger and the desire to hide the vulnerability.
Yuffie Kisaragi. Because I understand what it feels like to have people not trust you and to always be underestimated and to smile anyone, and try to keep everyone together.
Ramza. Because I understand what loss feels like. I understand what it feels like to question your entire past and to discover that all of it was wrong.
12) The FF game you liked playing least:
Final Fantasy X. It just wasn't for me.
13) One to three FF characters you dislike and why:
I am really not a fan of Jecht. He really annoyed me. I kinda wanted to punch him
Algus. He was such a jerk in Tactics. Killing him is one of the highlights of the game for me.
14) 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):
Save the Queen. I loved the XII incarnation of it, because I always gave it to Ashe. She could take care of herself, dammit. She didn't need anyone to save her.
15) Your favorite Final Fantasy summon (e.g. Ifrit, Carbuncle, Bahamut, etc.):
Quetzalcoatl. Totally. I always gave him to Selphie and watched him wreak havoc.
16) 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.):
Lightning's Army of One. I spammed it just so I could watch Lightning kick ass. On a similar note... I also I adore Yuffie's Doom of the Living. I'd stick a mime materia on her and go whoop up on monsters.
17) A Final Fantasy mini-game/sidequest you invested entirely too much time into:
Chocobo breeding and racing. (I actually really liked doing it. It was fun).
18) Your favorite Cid:
Oh, tough one. Probably Dr. Cid from FFXII. Because he was crazy and awesome and he had Venat and fathered Balthier.
19) Optional: Up to one class you think does not fit you, with reasoning why.

WHEW~!) you're determined, tolerant, and have good intuition. Some of them can also be slightly forgetful, sensitive, or anxious as well. Quite a few of the White Mage characters like Aria, Aerith, Prishe, Vanille, and Eiko can be either energetic and/or pretty extroverted and seem to wear their hearts on their sleeves...but they're often keeping their inner thoughts and feeling to themselves. Most of the White Mage characters tend to fall into the more cheerful category most of the time and many are more likely to want to "go with the flow" and be somewhat impulsive (such as Aerith and Vanille...or Yuna in FFX-2!). They can be forgiving to a point, but aren't necessarily against holding grudges either...it took Hope a pretty long time to let go of his grudge. Your style even strikes me as being very fitting for a White Mage since many of the tend to just wear what is comfortable too!Your answer to the team question strikes me as fitting for both a Soldier and a White Mage! Both job classes are more likely to want to work efficiently (be that by themselves, with others, as the leader, as a follower, etc.). I think the strive to work smarter, not harder mentality you have fits well for many White Mage characters! Your Spider-Man decision seems like something most of the White Mage characters would do as well...many of them I could easily picture saying that they'd pick saving the two dozen children because that would be ultimately what would be the greatest good as the White Mages are generally a class of characters that would understand *and* make that type of sacrifice. Your answer to the consoling your friend question strikes me as very White Mage-fitting too! I could even picture the White Mages in your ideal job answers...and your reasoning behind picking the characters you relate to made me think of quite a few White Mages as well (even though most of them were Soldier characters, lolz!
One day, my brain will make sense). :)~Yay! A fellow Tactics and FFXII fan (oh, and FFXIII as well! XD)! ♥
