Name: Laura
Previously stamped as: Kuja [regular]; Cloud of Darkness [mirror]; Brotherhood [weapon]; Buster Sword [weapon mirror]; Celes [cameo]; Rydia and Setzer [cameo mirror]; Firion [matchmaker]; Sephy [matchmaker mirror]; Leviathan [summon]; Odin [summonmirror]; Cloud's Advent Children Outfit [outfit theme]; The Darkness of Eternity [song];
10 adjectives to describe yourself: honest/blunt at times, understanding, sarcastic, responsible, thoughtful, logical, Introverted/private/reserved, mischievous, straight-forward and secretive at the same time, calm with a berserk button.
Is there a personality trait you would like to change/work on?: Hmm, I wonder. I have a lot of negative traits but i wouldn't want to change most of them even if people hate those traits as well... Okay, I know what I would like to change. I would love to be more motivated! The lack of motivation, especially in stuff i don't like, is the worst thing in me in my opinion. Instead of going forward etc I am stuck in same place because i don't have motivation. So yes, it doesn't help me with a lot of things.
What traits do you admire in others?: Hmm, optimism&enthusiasm going overboard and true kindness. Not only people that claim themselves to be kind but they're not or the ones that force themselves to be kind only to be seen that way for whatever reason. I mean people who are truly kind but also know when to say "no". People who are afraid to say no and are "kind" strike me more as cowards instead of truly kind people, if that make any sense but that may be just me. I also love people who are enthusiastic and optimistic without being too much. Watching people or characters like that always makes me feel much better. I like how people like that go forward without breaking up and do stuff instead of giving up.
What type of people you tend to get along with?: Different types of people, to be honest. Some of my friends are calmer and give more thoughts into stuff and some of them are more impulsive, energetic, talkative. All of them are more talkative than me but other than that, they are pretty different from me and from each other.
...and what type of people you tend NOT to get along with?: selfish people, lairs, egoistic and rude without a reason people. Overly pessimistic and overly naive people as well. I want to be there for a friend but when they're being pessimistic all the time then i just lose my patience and i feel more depressed. However, when someone is way too naive and don't realize what they do/others do is wrong then I loose my patience again. I have one naive friend whom i like a lot but sometimes I just get tired of repeating same things about same stuff because she's a bit too naive to realize it herself.
Do you mind getting "Lone Fighter" stamp?: Hmm no, i don't mind, although I would appreciate not getting Onion Knight&Terra team. I know it's picky of me to ask for this but the storyline with this group isn't something I picture myself in & I don't think i would get along with neither of them. I am sorry, if you really see it then vote for it, I just thought i could ask...
[ What are your views on... ]
Teamwork? Teamwork is very important, in my opinion. However, I know how hard it is to have a good teamwork when you work in a big group. When teamwork is not good then work takes longer and it's not as good as it could be, imo.
Friendly rivalry? I am not really a fan of these. As long as someone know the limit it's okay but i still prefer not to have those. I know some people that used to prove themselves they're better than me in "friendly rivalry" to make themselves feel better and then they were only getting pissed or making stupid excuses why i won and they lost. I don't care about stuff like that but it is very annoying and i am not up to deal with that.
Playing dirty? Not really my thing, I would appreciate a fair fight but if the enemy would start playing dirty, I wouldn't hesitate that much if i thought it's a good thing to do.
Humanity as a whole? I am pretty disappointed in humanity and i keep getting more and more disappointed. Not that I am perfect of course.
[ Your own adventure... ]
Imagine this is your own story, tell us what is it that you're fighting for, your goals and what is your story about?: My story would be most likely about learning more about myself, others and the world. Helping/saving a friend and becoming even stronger and/or helping a friend. Can we mix it all? rofl.
In your story, Is there something that motivates you in moving forward and not giving up? It would be most likely someone important to me. I don't have many people like that which would motivate me even more, I guess.
[ Teamwork time! ]
Even when in a group, do you often want to do things on your own? Yes, definitely. Once, I got a description of me working in groups that definitely fit me and answers that question: "The development of their ideas and visions is important to them; they love being as flexible as possible and, ideally, of being able to work alone because they often find it a strain having to make their complex trains of thought understandable to other people" but I like to try and work with others (unless i dislike them or don't care about them) but i also love working by myself so in case someone wouldn't understand my idea well, i could do it right without worry if others have done what they had to, if that makes any sense.
Is it alright if others in your group have different goals from you? Of course! It would be rather boring if we would be all the same, wouldn't it? It would be awesome to discuss and learn about the goals of others and understand why they're doing it. It would most likely make me know them a bit better as well.
Regardless of the previous answer, are there any traits or goals that could cause you to refuse to even considering joining up with them? Those who want to destroy everything or those who want to take over the world and such for no good reasons, only to feel like gods or whatever. Doing everything for their selfish needs, also someone who would only use me as a tool (that sounds like i am excluding one of the options so don't mind it too much, i don't mind getting that one team too XD).
Do you want to have fun on the way or to only focus on the next task? Task is the main priority. The sooner we end the sooner we can actually have fun (or not). It would be all cool for me to mix work and fun if the other team members would like it though, not a biggie.
If one of your group members was in danger, would you want to try to help them? Obviously. I wouldn't leave a comrade to a chance/in danger. I would try to do anything to help them in hopes i will be able to actually help them.
After it's all over, do you hope to keep in touch and meet them again? I think it would be cool if the other members would like to keep in touch with me as well but if they wouldn't then i really don't care. I would be all fine without keeping in touch with them too.
