Genis: Did you get bullied often?

If I ever got bullied as a child, I’ve mentally blocked it out and/or did not realize it was bullying. I was fairly obtuse in the face of such matters. Among my siblings I was indisputably in charge, and I didn’t start public school until 5th grade, so maybe I skipped the part where the worst bullying happens?

I had a good support group of friends all through school, so perhaps they protected me without me noticing. (It’s actually very likely, because my brother once asked my mother why people do things for me and her answer was “why do you do things for her?” He said “Oh.” And never asked again.)

Raine: What’s something you have an (unhealthy) obsession for?

Zelos Wilder /laughs

I go through phases of obsession I think. In middle school it was Tolkein’s elves. I was trying to teach myself Sindarin, but I had no one to practice with (I’ve always loved languages though). These days most of my attention is focused on Tales of Symphonia, and mostly on Zelos. Tumblr is probably to blame, since I started roleplaying him here and pretty much have been thinking about him ever since.

Sheena: Do you have a pet? What’s that pet’s name and what is it like?

I don’t personally own pets right now, because they require time, money, and attention that I am unwilling to divert from my own life. My roommate has pets though, so I just play with them if I’m in the mood for an animal companion. There is a corgi named Isabelle who is dumber than a box of rocks, but actually smart about some things. She loves the hell out of me, but I’m not a dog person so I mostly just pat her head and tell her to go away.

There are also two cats named Natalia and Hawkeye. Natalia is a priss, but loves to sit with me sometimes and rub her face on mine. Hawkeye has a knack for sitting on me right when I need to get up and leave. He only wants attention when he’s hungry.

Presea: Do people underestimate you due to a certain trait? If so, what?

I don’t really think so. Maybe my intelligence? I fit most of the blonde stereotypes, but I do have a brain in there somewhere according to standardized test scores. My best friend calls me the ‘dumbest smart person’ she knows, and my father calls me his ‘brain-dead gifted child.’

Regal: Do you like to cook? What do you enjoy cooking the most?

I do in fact like cooking, and I also collect cookbooks. I just don’t do it very often because it requires getting off the internet and I also hate cleaning up afterward. It’s a hassle to cook for just me, so I usually stick to microwave and instant food. My favorite thing to cook is probably pastries and baked goods though. The thing I cook most often is pasta, for sure.

Yuan: How would you fare in a battle of the wits?

I have a sarcastic streak, but more often than not I’m cursed with staircase wit. In an actual verbal match, I back down quickly because I dislike confrontation.

Martel: Have you ever been seriously injured before?

I’ve broken two fingers and my collarbone, and I had a concussion once, but other than that, no. The concussion/collarbone were from falling out of a tree onto my head, and I broke my fingers tripping on my band pants during a competition. I literally did a barrel roll.

Dirk: Do you have a catchphrase? Does this catchphrase get on people’s nerves?

I’m a catchphrase thief, but not really intentionally. If I hang out with someone or talk to them a lot, I wind up using the same phrases they do. Something I do say a lot that I’m not sure where I picked up is ‘derp.’ That’s probably just from too much internet.

Noishe: If you could transform into any animal, what would you be?

Any animal at all? Do mythical animals count, because I’d be a dragon or a phoenix. Otherwise I’d probably say an otter or a swallowtail hawk.

Seles: Do you spend a lot of time shut up in your room?

When I’m not at work or at the gym, I’m usually in my room, so…yes?

Origin: Do you have faith in the world?

This is a loaded question. In people as a whole? Maybe not. In a higher power? Sure.

Kvar: Have you ever truly hated someone?

Hate is such a strong word. I don’t think I’d really apply it to anyone I’ve known, but man do I get irritated with shoplifters. This is what happens when you work in retail, hm?

Botta: What’s your opinion on facial hair?

I don’t want any. /shot

It works for some people (like Chris Hemsworth as Thor) and not for others (like my friend JT who looked like a hobo when he grew a beard).

Remiel: What’s the biggest lie you ever told?
