Personality Questions:

1) List and expand upon your three best traits / strengths. (These should be personality-related, not physical.)
1. Honesty and Justic. I always treat people honestly, and speak honestly. Some people don't particularly like that about me, but I pride myself on it. I guess its because I would like people to be honest to me, and I've always been raised "honesty is the best policy". I also have a really strong sense of justice. If I don't think something is right, I will speak my mind about it.

2. Loyalty and loving. I always stand up for those I love and speak my mind if anyone crosses them. I really don't let anyone mess with anyone I care about. I care too much at times though so much I will get physically sick if I am worrying about someone. I am also a really friendly person once I get to know people. I love people, and can't stand to NOT be around them. (Could say I get lonely very easily)

3. Open minded. I am an open minded person. I always do my research before forming an opinion on something, but the downside is once I have that opinion it will never change.

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

1. Shyness. I am a shy person, despite how much I may talk or ramble or seem really friendly. I will talk, go on and ramble because I am so nervous around new people. Kind of a contradiction to my friendless. But despite it I am a friendly person. Get that?

2. No self confidence. I have never been a confident person. What more can I say D: I don't believe in my art work regardless of how talented people say I am. I more often then not think people are saying things just to make me feel good.

3. Kind of vain. Not as in I have to look at myself ever 5seconds, or I think I look better than everyone. I just am really concerned with my appearance. I always think I am ugly, and am worrying about how my skin, my hair, or my outfit looks to other people. I care too much what other people thing. I will change the way I look, or think or act around people. I am constantly trying to be how I think they want me to be, rather than how I am on the inside. I am a camelion depending on who I am around. I feel the only place I can be myself (a lolita/victorian/rococo fashion loving, sewing, drawing, singing, anime nut, cosplayer, game freak) is online.

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: It all depends on who I am around, how well I know them.

Cheerful [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Gloomy
Explain: I am always happy on the outside, but I do have my down days. Don't we all. BUt I would say I am 80% of the time cheerful and happy :3.

Reserved [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] Impulsive
Explain: AH it really depends! When it comes to Lolita fashion I am impulsive. Art I am more reserved.

Energetic [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] Calm
Explain: I am always go go go. I have to be doing something at all times. I can not just sit around and do nothing xD

Feminine [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Masculine/Tomboyish
Explain: I wear dresses and skirts. I wear makeup and do my hair. I do feminine activities. Yeah I am feminine!

Grudge-holding [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] Forgiving
Explain: It really depends on the situation and what happened. You'd have to REALLY cross me for me to hold a grudge.

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 working in teams, because I hate to be alone D: I normally let others make decisions but give me opinion if asked for. I'll be in the background helping out.

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?
Okay this sounds horrible and mean, but I would save my best friend/significant other/person closest to me because....because...well I don't like kids! D: I really really do not like them. Besides are there not too many as it is?

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 will always listen and give them my thoughts if asked for. I try to put myself in their shoes, and then whoever else is involved shoes. It helps to see things from both sides. If they are still upset, I will listen to them again, but reassure them things will change and be okay and for them to be strong.

7) What interests/hobbies do you have? How do you like to spend your free time?
Well I am an artist so I love to create art. I love to be online looking up things related to beauty, victorian stuff, art, Lolita. I love to be with friends, and go hang out with them. I love to sew as well. I LOVE to shop as well!

8) Describe one to three careers you would find ideal, with a little explanation of why it appeals to you.
A video game character designer. I love video games and I love character design. My idols are of course Yoshitaka Amano and Tetsuya Nomura. I just love creating interesting and over the top detailed characters.


FF Questions:

9) 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 VII is my all time favorite. The storyline, the characters and their depth. It all speaks greatly to me.
Final Fantasy XIII is my second favorite even though I have yet to beat it! *stuck on disk 2* I really enjoy the art, the graphics, the storyline, and of course the characters.

10) List one to three of your favorite Final Fantasy characters and why:
Tifa Lockhart. I really admired her growing up. All that she went through and her devotedness to others.
Lightning is my second. Shes so strong and cold, but yet there is so much to her and as she begins to open up we see a whole other side of her.
Cloud. What can I say, I like the emo boy. Hes a deep character fighting a lot of inner demons and over coming them.
I know it says 3 but I have to through Genisis on there :3 Not just because he's modeled after Gackt and hes damn sexy.

11) One to three characters you relate to (you may reuse answers from #8 if applicable) and why:
Tifa. I've been through a lot of hardships in my life, some which I am still facing. Yet I somehow keep moving forward. I am also super loyal and care deeply for others.

12) The FF game you liked playing least:
VIII D:

13) One to three FF characters you dislike and why:
Aerith Gainsborough D: I always found her super annoying and useless! I don't feel she was a really strong/important character. Plus she confused the crap out of Cloud. CloudxTifa <3

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):
Genisis Rapier
http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100717030938/finalfantasy/images/2/25/CC_Genesis_Sword_Artwork.jpg

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

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.):
Omnislash

17) A Final Fantasy mini-game/sidequest you invested entirely too much time into:
None actually xD

18) Your favorite Cid:
VII Cid :3

19) Optional: Up to one class you think does not fit you, with reasoning why.
I really can't say :3

Yay! You're here! ♥ Welcome~ XD

At first I was pretty certain it'd be easy to put you in White Mage, as my impression of you was helpful, kind and shy. After reading through this, however, I'm more inclined to think you're a Monk. Straight off the bat you begin with honesty, justice, speaking your mind about things and standing up for those you love. Later, you write that you 'are always happy on the outside, but do have your down days' (this makes me think of Tifa and Snow), that 'go go go' attitude makes me think Monk, and you also write that you relate to Tifa :) With regards to the Spider-Man decision, I can't see a White Mage not want to go for the children...

Yay, FFXIII! I know it gets hated on because it just railroads you everywhere, but I love the characters and the story. I haven't played much of VII yet, alas. (I know... :c) I never knew Genesis was modelled after Gackt! *__*

Last but not least, have faith in your art! ♥

I kind of contemplated several different classes for you - I see streaks of White Mage and Thief, but overall, I think I'm going to go with Monk as well. "If I don't think something is right, I will speak my mind about it." - this sounds very monk to me: they tend to be straightforward and blunt about their opinions, especially if they mean well - combined with how you said you need to be doing something at all times? I see a very energetic, helpful monk. I feel White Mage and Thief could both fit you, as I said, but I feel they tend to come across as more restful than you.

There's also the being a chameleon around people thing... some monks are quite headstrong and confident, but I think some of them are more than a little worried about what others think of them. I'm thinking of FF8's Zell here - in my head, at least, he wouldn't be so flustered by insults if he didn't care what people thought of him. The loyalty and loving I also see in monks like Tifa, who's incredibly supportive throughout FF7, if I remember correctly.

In any case. Welcome, and I hope you have fun here!

Hmm... Monk or Thief? I'm not so sure. Monk and Thief are very similar, but I would have to say Thief. You are happy and filled with justice, but I can't see the maternal side of the monks on you.

I see you as more of a Yuffie or a Rikku. You are happy go lucky, even if you have your problems, and unlike the monks you don't let it consume you. (Tifa's emo over Cloud anyone? Snow's emo over Sarah all the time?)

You also seem a little more aggressive with your opinion's even if you do have a tendency to be shy and have little self confidence. Personally? Monks always struck me as confident in their abilities while you see thieves struggle with that (Zidane is an exception). Sure they look fine, but they aren't you see it in how Yuffie runs away and Rikku sits in the background nawing on her lip when it comes to the topic of the Al Bhed. Monk is close, but it's not quite what I see.

Opps... Black Mage

I'm honestly torn between Thief and Monk for you! I think I could picture you fitting into either one of those classes easily...but, I think I'm leaning slightly more towards Monk overall. I think both your best traits and worst traits could fit for many of the Monk characters in the series (such as Tifa, Zell, Snow, Prishe, and Lisa) as they can all be described with those at certain points in their stories: honest with a strong sense of justice, loyal/loving, open-minded (actually...all of them fit your strengths! ♥), shy (Tifa or Lisa, at least!), not self confident (Lisa at certain points), and most of them seem to want to be what they think other people want them to be like sometimes as well. I think the Monks as an overall group are in-between introverted/extroverted (some are more introverted, others are extroverted, and others it just depends on their surroundings!) and they can be in-between impulsive/reserved too depending on the situation. Many of them are cheerful characters for the most part and are pretty energetic...and they are generally forgiving unless someone has *really* angered them enough to get them to hold a grudge as well.

I think quite a few of the Monk characters like to work on teams for the most part and are willing to help out in the background while giving their opinion when asked for it. Lolz, even though I think they might like kids and would probably try saving them, I also see many of the Monk characters saving their best friend/significant other/person closest to them first! Your consoling a friend answer also seems like something I could picture many of the Monk characters doing as well. Your relation to Tifa made me think of the Monk class as well. XD

~Hehe, Omnislash is awesome! ♥

Hmm...I could see a combination of Thief, Monk, and White Mage at times in your application--but overall I think I'm leaning more towards a Monk vote as well. Your strengths in particular remind me quite a bit of many different Monk characters in the FF series: valuing honesty and having a strong sense of justice, being loyal and loving, and being very open-minded is something characters such as Lisa Pacifist, Josef, Yang, Ursula, Sabin, Tifa, Zell, Cornelia of the Mythril Musketeers, Prishe, and Snow all have in common. Your weaknesses also brought to mind certain weaknesses that some of the characters have from to time with themselves as well (such as shyness and nervousness around others, having lower self-confidence, and being concerned about your appearance). Hehe, although the strengths were definitely what had me thinking more of Monk! :)

Monks can often vary on their extroversion and introversion levels depending on who they're around and how comfortable they are with them, and many of them (Zell, Prishe, Snow, Tifa, and Lisa for instance) tend to be quite cheerful for the most part. They can also range from being impulsive in certain instances to being reserved in others (Tifa, Yang, and Ursula are great examples of this). And they are often focused on wanting to do something and be on the move as well. Their capacity for grudge-holding really does depend on circumstances, as they tend to be pretty forgiving of most things but if someone REALLY does something that crosses a line they may not forgive them so readily (Cornelia of the Mythril Musketeers is a great example of this, as is Tifa with her views on Sephiroth).

Generally speaking, Monks tend to be supportive figures who like to help out others in a group and give their opinion when asked. I could see many Monk characters (especially ones such as Tifa, Lisa, and Cornelia) handling the situation with comforting a friend in the same manner and looking at things from everyone's perspective...all while listening and reassuring their friend. You're very passionate in your goals and interests, and I think that is something that is often reflected in the mindsets of many of the Monk characters in the FF series as well. ♥

Hehe, Omnislash is awesome! :)

Monk. Being like Tifa had me most of the time. Your loyalty and that you didn't like kids, cross you out for white mage for me. lol. Where there is no really feminine monks, you can start a new trend in this, just like how facebook has the knight of crystals with the female monks in qipao, i think you can totally pull it off. lol.

because i haven't been doing this for a while, black mage

[identity profile] the-404-error.livejournal.com 2011-07-23 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
I can see a ton of White Mage, but I'm also leaning the most towards Monk as that's what your reasoning reflects more. Almost everything has been covered by this point, but you remind of the more reserved and noble monks, like Josef, Yang, Urusla, and Tifa. I'd explain more, but as implied, I'd just be repeating what was mentioned above. :]

I see a mix of Thief and Monk for you, but like what everyone has said so far, I'm leaning more towards Monk for you.
Your loyalty and propensity to getting flustered is fairly reminiscent of Zell, and your thoughtfulness and care towards others reminds me greatly of Tifa. Haha I can't really add much beyond what has already been said!

Welcome to the comm~! Hope you have fun here! ♥

I can see a bit of thief in your application and some of your traits reminded me of white mage ( shy, open minded, loyal ), but in the end I'm leaning more towars Monk.Your "rate yourself" section in particular pointed me towards monk. Monk characters are usually cheerful, energetic, open minded, loyal and like working in teams

You're hard to sort! While reading your positive and negatives, I was seriously thinking Dragoon (loyalty, sense of justice, but at the same time being shy and unconfident makes me think of the more withdrawn Dragoon characters). But then I got to your dichotomies and that pretty much crosses Dragoon off the list. After that point I started thinking a White Mage/Thief/Monk combination seems to describe your personality the best. I think I'm leaning most toward Thief, though. Leaning cheerful, energetic and very feminine fits very well with Thief. Thieves may not be entirely honest, but most of them have a strong sense of justice (since a lot of Thieves like Vaan, Locke, and I think Zidane? can't just stand by when they see a girl in trouble). Open-minded is something I also associate with Thieves.

Your working in teams answer lends itself well to White Mage/Thief/Monk and your femininity, and lack of confidence seems best suited to White Mage so I think it's very close for me between White Mage and Thief, but I'll go with Thief.

And LMAO at your Spider-man Decision answer. XD

[identity profile] haryan.livejournal.com 2011-07-24 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I can see a lot of monk and thief in your answers but I'm leaning a bit more towards Thief. I think this class fits your positive traits nicely (honest, loyal, loving, open minded) besides you mentioned you're cheerful and you're not tomboyish at all so I think that thief is a better fit for you
