Personality Questions:

1) List and expand upon your three best traits / strengths. (These should be personality-related, not physical.) I'm friendly or at least always try to be. People tend to come to me when they need someone to hear them out as I'm always a good listener. I'm open-minded and very maternal, which I guess can actually be a good and bad thing depending on the person lol.

2) List and expand upon your three worst traits / weaknesses. I'm a bit to shy. I don't go out of my way to talk to people unless they talk to me first. I'm stubborn, even if I'm wrong I'll fight my point unless either the other person or I give up. I am very insecure. I put myself down alot...but I have been getting a little better at that.

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: Though I'm friendly, and like I said above. I am very shy. I get nervous really easily and I'm not a fan of being around too many people at the same time unless I know them. This is why I don't like going to parties or clubs.

Cheerful [ ] [X] [ ] [ ] [ ] Gloomy
Explain: lol Depends on the mood I'm in. For the most part I'm cheerful but I can just as easily be gloomy.

Leader [ ] [ ] [ ] [X] [ ] Supportive
Explain: Yeah no...I don't like the idea of being a Leader. I much prefer being supporting as it's much more comfortable for me and I'd rather not deal with all the responsibilities that come with being Leader.

Confident [ ] [ ] [ ] [X] [ ] Modest
Explain: Because of my insecure issues I'm not very confident in myself. I try to be and it's gotten better but still not.

Reserved [ ] [ ] [X] [ ] [ ] Impulsive
Explain: For the most part, I am very reserved. I don't share many things with people about me unless I trust them. And I'd much rather be in the background while everyone is acting crazy as it kind of makes me giggle. But I am a curious person and have done some things impulsively.

Energetic [ ] [ ] [ ] [X] [ ] Calm
Explain: Yeah all my friends are the energetic ones. I'm more laid-back and calm. But I do get energetic where fandom is concerned XD.

Feminine [ ] [ ] [ ] [X] [ ] Masculine/Tomboyish
Explain: Ahah...yeah I'm more on the tomboyish side. I don't like shopping too much unless it's for Book, Games or Movies. I dread clothing shopping unless I'm in the mood for it. I hate wearing skirts/dresses even when the situation calls for. I don't really wear make-up unless it's eyeliner. But I still love all things cute. I collect dolls and have stuffed animals. And I'm very Maternal.

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.
When it calls for it, I don't mind working in teams. It helps when I respect the person whose taking charge of the project. But than again I also prefer to work alone since I have methods of doing things and my OCDness kicks in if it's not done that way when I'm in a group. I prefer groups where I can provide input of the project and it's not so much the leaders grand idea.

5) What interests/hobbies do you have? How do you like to spend your free time?
Video Gaming for sure. I love RPGs and games like Street Figher/Mortal Kombat/Soul Caliber etc. I love to read whenever I get the chance. And I absolutely love to write fanfiction and such. I draw whenever it strikes me. And I'm a full out movie whore lol.

6) Describe one to three careers you would find ideal, with a little explanation of why it appeals to you.
Despite my shyness, I love to help people so that why I want to be an Occupational Therapist, so that I can help people reform and live life a little better.


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 VII(and the sequals/spin-offs) owns my heart. It was the first game I seriously got into back in 1997. So it will forever own a special place in my heart.
Final Fantasy XII. I loved the battle system and free roaming it provided. It was something new in the FF world and I loved it.
Kingdom Heart series. I absolutely fell in love with it since it brought together my two favorite things. Final Fantasy and Disney. Plus it introduced me to some new favorite characters.

8) List one to three of your favorite Final Fantasy characters and why:
Aerith(s) Gainsbourgh. She's the reason I got into FF in the first place. My cousin was playing FF7 and while I watch she was at the point where Sephiroth killed her. I was curious so I bought the game to understand why she needed to die. And since playing I've loved her ever since especially learning more about her character.
Balthier. I have a thing with pirates and just his whole mannerism just made me fall in love with him. Of course he's in it for the money but there's that side of him that actually cared for everyone.
Snow. I love his dedication to Serah and wanting to bring her back, even taking all the blame Lightning put on him.


9) One to three characters you relate to (you may reuse answers from #8 if applicable) and why:
Hmm...Aerith for her maternal tendencies and forgiving nature. Fran for that need for freedom away from my home.

10) The FF game you liked playing least:
I'd have to say II simply because I'm having difficulties beating it >.>

11) One to three FF characters you dislike and why:
I'm not a big fan of Rinoa. I really didn't like her personality at all. Yuffie annoys me death.

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):
Oh! I loved Lulu's dolls. They were too adorable. The Zodiac Spear...I liked the things you had to do in order to get it.

13) Your favorite Final Fantasy summon (e.g. Ifrit, Carbuncle, Bahamut, etc.):
Oh this is tough. It's a toss up between Shiva(all her incarnations) and Zalera from XII.

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.):
Because I seriously can't just pick one. I love the Quickening in Final Fantasy XII. I loved the challenge it took in order to make the chain keep lasting. And they were just downright beautiful.

15) A Final Fantasy mini-game/sidequest you invested entirely too much time into:
Oh Chocobo breeding in Final Fantasy VII...I spent way way too much time with that.

16) Your favorite Cid:
Cid Highwind and Dr. Cid from Final Fantasy XII...unless Al-Cid counts, which I know he doesn't cause he'd bump them both out of this spot lol.

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