Fears: The main one is crowds. I’m claustrophobic as it is, and being around strangers triggers my panic attacks, so me surrounded by people I don’t know can never end well.
Dreams and aspirations: I’d like to someday have a novel published. I’d also love to be a stage actress.
Favorite animal: Tigers and snakes - beautiful, elegant, and deadly.
Your favorite book or movie, and why: I’m not much of a movie person. It’s hard to choose a favorite book because I have always loved reading. Right now I’d say my favorites are Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, and The Taking by Dean Koontz. I’ll always have a soft spot for The Hobbit as well, even though I’ve read better books, because it was my first novel (I was 5 when I read it).
A favorite quote or song lyric: It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. - Emiliano Zapata
What you want to do for a living: I want to be a psychologist.
Favorite Clamp Character? Why?: It’s hard to choose because one of the best things about Clamp works is the characterization. I guess I’ll say Fai. I like his playful nature and perpetual smile, but I love when that façade slips and you see how broken he really is.
Least favorite Clamp character? Why?: CCS Sakura gets really annoying, and Fei Wong Reed is just boring as a villain.
Favorite Clamp pairing and why? Fai/Kurogane, because of the way each has shaped who the other has become, and the sacrifices they are willing to make for each other. It’s simply beautiful.
You find the journal of one of your friends that was left at your house. What do you do?: I’d return it unopened. If they’re a very close friend I wouldn’t betray their trust; if not I’d leave it alone out of a simple lack of interest.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?: Pyrokinesis, because I simply adore fire. I can stare into flames for hours and tune out everything else to the point where I don’t realize any time has passed.
If you were stuck on a desert island and could pick five things to bring, what would they be?: A notebook and pencil so I could work on my story, a knife because they’re just handy in survival situations, water purification tablets, and a metal bowl which could hold food or water as well as signal passing vehicles (when I finally got bored and decided to leave).
Likewise, if you could have one Clamp character with you on the desert island, who would it be?: One of the Mokonas, because the two of them could conspire to send me everything - and everyone - I want.
Anything else?: I am a study in contrast. Arrogant and insecure, shy and combative, cynical and romantic. I also seem to have a different face for every situation, and even I can't always tell which ones - if any - are fake.
Clamp series you know: Card Captor Sakura, Tokyo Babylon, Tsubasa, X, and XXXHolic. Most of the others are on my huge list of series I need to get around to watching/reading.
Because the mods are curious, where did you hear about us?: I don’t really remember… probably an affiliated community.
Pictures and/or Describe Yourself: I'm short, with a fairly slim build. I have pale skin that flushes easily, dark blue eyes, and dark hair which almost reaches the small of my back. Blonde patches 3 inches wide frame my face. I wear glasses as my eyes are weak. I have small hands and long nails which make good weapons on occasion. I also have a tendency to stare at people without blinking when I'm lost in thought. Apparently I'm creepy.
