Name/Nicknames: Ashley (nickname: Ashe)
Age: 21
Birthdate: October 29, 1986 (makes me a Scorpio & a Fire Tiger)
Height: 5’4”
Likes: Fruit, close friends, cooking, video games, books, writing, CLAMP pairings, cherry blossoms, RPing, epic schemes, medievalism, cats, reading almost anything.
Dislikes: Homophobia, people who can't see beyond surface values, people who play piano loudly in the common room, being disturbed generally, having things sprung on me.
Hobbies & Talents: RP, writing, reading, photoshop, making MVs, music, the study of history (especially the medieval period & the ancient world), religious studies, video games, late night guitar hero battles with my friends.
Strong Points: Good listener, very observant, intuitive, learns quickly, works quickly and efficiently, works well alone, good leadership abilities, very protective of friends, doesn't care what others think except when it actually matters, reads quickly, intelligent, caring, motherly (to a degree), mature, musically inclined (though untrained in it), a concise writer (can be a weakness when papers need to be a certain page number), interested in a slew of academic pursuits, dedicated to my beliefs, good at managing people, cooking/cleaning/other domestic skills.
Weak Points: Quiet to a fault, a loner by nature, confidence issues, jumps to conclusions, never asks for help, can be sarcastic or hateful, lacks sense of humor, can be naive about some things, can be flighty, lacks organizational skills, bad about getting things started, can be shy, doesn't take criticism well, doesn't take compliments well, confrontational, sharp temper.
Fears: Losing someone close to me, being the reason someone close to me gets hurt, being labeled “insane”.
Dreams & aspirations: Have a family, attend grad school, have own place, get a decent job.
Favorite animal: Tiger
Your favorite book or movie, and why: "Black Jewels Trilogy" by Anne Bishop. It's a rich dark sensual fantasy full of drama and power struggles. And it's just lovely.
A favorite quote or song lyric:
"Gotta badge for my scars just the other day
Wore it proud for the sake of my sanity
I could see the flames burn bright from the windin road
Like a haunting page from our history
Watched a young girl cry and her mother scream
Its the saddest thing when angels fly away "
"When Angels Fly Away" by Cold. <3
The lyrics are just very image heavy and pretty, but at the same time have a gritty realism to them.
What you want to do for a living: Be a medievalist
Favorite Clamp Character? Why?: It’s a toss up between Subaru and Fai, actually. Subaru because I love his youth in combination with his work ethic and the something in him that makes it impossible for him to really hurt someone he cares about. Fai because of his utter lack of self preservation instinct (much like Subaru’s actually) and at the same time, Fai manages not to be a pushover or fatalistic.
Least favorite Clamp character? Why?: Kotori drives me absolutely batty. She’s whiny and weak and generally not worth my time.
Favorite Clamp pairing and why? Subaru/Seishirou. It’s not a fluffy bunny pairing, by any means, but there’s a lot of realistic heartache and hurt in the midst of a very fantastical story of the two of them. I love it.
You find the journal of one of your friends that was left at your house. What do you do?: Set it aside, and try to remember to give it to them when they come by next time. Reading it isn’t worth my time, and it’s a terrible betrayal of trust. Honestly, I don’t care what they have to say that much at all.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?: Can I count the abilities of an onmyouji as a single superpower? Probably not. Then I’ll go with the ability to manipulate shadows that Raven from Teen Titans has. I would want a power I can both defend myself with and at the same time use offensively. Also, it looks cool.
If you were stuck on a desert island and could pick five things to bring, what would they be?:
- a source of music (mp3 player + headphones)
- notebook
- pack of pens
- my computer? I really love it, but it’s a desktop and I doubt they have outlet power
- food to tide me over until I could find a food source on the island
Likewise, if you could have one Clamp character with you on the desert island, who would it be?: This is quite hard. I’d want someone who could help me survive, and yet would be a good conversationalist. Someone who could carry their own weight, but without being so stoic that I’d want to beat them until they said something. My third instinct (after Kurogane who would drive me batty with his stoicism and Karen who just wouldn’t suit) was Sorata. I suppose Sorata would do, though he might drive me a little insane.
Anything else?: Nope
Clamp series you know: X, Tsubasa, Tokyo Babylon, RG Veda (but feel free to give me anyone from any series)
