Are those your eyes on me?
So, it would be really great if people could give me reasons as to why they think I'm whatever character they vote me as. Thanks! ♥
Name: Arista
Nickname(s): Ari, Terra (former username/alias)
Age: 19
Gender: Female. I don't mind being voted as a guy, though, as this is about personality accuracy.
Interests: I adore reading and writing - particularly within the fantasy genre - as I have quite a vivid imagination. It's also my escape from reality, you could say. I also love working with plants and playing with animals, and am very interested in ancient history, particularly Greek and Celtic. I can't live without music, either, of any kind.
Pet Peeves: Being so fond of writing has made me prone to irritation where spelling and grammar are concerned. Seriously, if I see a mistake, I must correct it. I also get annoyed when people say that my spelling of certain words (ie. "organisation") is wrong; I use English/Australian, people, which is just as right!
Hobbies/Talents: Writing, horseriding, crafty stuff like scrapbooking...I'm a really artsy person. Shame I can't draw anything except stick figures! (I-I want to learn, though...)
Dreams/Ambitions: To publish at least one novel; be even better if it became a bestseller! Also to help solve a world problem, such as starvation, global warming etc.
Strengths: I'm a kind and considerate person, who usually sees the good in a person...or at least tries to. More often than not I'm the mediator of the group, who tries to keep the peace when things get rocky. Though shy at first, I'm pretty upbeat and fun to be around, and try to get everyone involved in whatever activity we're doing. I don't know if you could call curiosity a good thing...but I am a quick learner.
Weaknesses: While I do my best to be polite to everyone (and usually succeed), even I have moments where I just have to tell people off, and I can be very vocal about it, too. And when I dislike someone (hate is too strong a word to use lightly) I really dislike someone. Also, I have an unfortunate habit of saying something that nobody quite gets, and I grow frustrated when they get upset or confused about it, because it makes perfect sense to me. I eventually realise this, though, and often laugh about it with friends. Stubbornness is typical of me, too; it takes a lot to sway me from a choice, or get me to admit I'm wrong.
Optimistic or Pessimistic: I'm better described as realistic. While I'll do the whole "it's okay" thing if someone is on the verge of a panic attack, I won't necessarily believe it, and would prefer to tell the truth as it is. I usually do, actually, unless it won't help the situation.
Hyper, Calm, or Somewhere in Between? Usually I'm calm, but I often go hyperactive/playful when amongst friends, or if I'm enjoying myself that much.
Impulsive or Cautious: This is always difficult to explain. I'm impulsive in my choices, but cautious as to how I go about it, if that makes any sense. When meeting new people I am particularly alert, since I'm pretty shy.
Outgoing or Shy: As previously mentioned, I'm definitely the shy type. Or, at least, I am when first meeting someone. Once I warm up, though, I can be as outgoing as the next person.
Mature or Immature?: It all depends on circumstance. I'm mature when the situation calls for it, but the rest of the time I'm lively and pretty silly. Many people often call me "weird," since I'm prone to saying odd things that people don't get, but make perfect sense to me.
Leader or Follower?: Follower. While I will take the reins if I believe someone to be making a stupid decision that'll get us all killed, I don't particularly like the idea of holding the choices - and possibly lives - of other people in my hands. However, even though I'd play the follower, there are still some things I won't do, no matter how much they ask/demand. (And believe me, they'd be wise to ask. I don't take 'orders' well.)
What are the 3 top characteristics you look for in a friend?
Understanding: A friend who can read the signs, and know that sometimes I need my space and my secrets. Likewise, I will try to understand how they work, and when it would be best to leave them alone.
Loyal: Goes without saying. If I get so much of a whiff of them planning to stab me in the back, they're gone. I've had too much of that in my life.
Honest/True to Themselves: Who wants to be friends with a poser? I prefer people just as they are!
Are you more of a lover or a fighter? Definitely a lover. I wouldn't fight unless I had to.
What's your fighting style? In Final Fantasy-verse, I would be more of a magic user myself. Close-range combat would be difficult for me, since I lack physical prowess, so I'd prefer to be in the back healing/protecting the party and blasting my enemies with the appropriate spell.
Finally, if a situation isn't going the way you like, what do you do about it? Take it in stride. Attempt to change what I consider unacceptable, but accept and go along with that which is inevitable. (I won't be particularly happy about it, though). Who knows? Maybe things can be altered later.
Picture/Appearance: Short, layered brown hair which has been bleached with yellow streaks. Blue-grey eyes. Pale skin complexion, with the odd freckle here and there.
Anything else we should know?: Just one. I developed a funny phrase about myself: "If something falls, then you know I'm around." A testiment to my clumsiness and butterfingers. ;D
