L likes pudding...
Name: Margaret
Age: Seventeen
Height: 5’11”
Personality: My personality tends to be really fluid, I think. I have the ability to be many different things in all different situations without having to fake or pretend anything; it’s not that I put on a mask; I just turn my face to a new facet of my self. I tend to be quiet in the physical world, but I am driven. I am introverted yet outspoken when I need to be. I’m loyal and honest, but it takes a while to earn my trust. When I’m pissed off, I’m sarcastic and cold, or otherwise fiery and stubborn. I’m articulate and competitive, yet usually calm despite all this. I am sometimes fundamentally uncertain and emotionally sensitive, but I don’t let it show except for on select occasions. I generally have the confidence that, in theory, I can achieve whatever I want. So far, this has been the case. Once someone earns my respect and trust, I am a trustworthy person. I know what I want, but I’m sometimes hesitant to make major sacrifices to get it. Mostly I just try to worm my way there without losing anything I already had.
Strengths: I’m intelligent and motivated. I am mature, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. I get things done on time (amazingly), whether or not I actually procrastinate. I’m very ambitious. I can be diplomatic when I need to be. I’m analytical, perceptive, flexible, open-minded, tactful, graceful, meticulous, and creative. I have good intuition, as well as logic skills. I’m able to see things from other people’s viewpoints while still maintaining the integrity of my own thoughts and opinions. I can be friendly if I’m in the right mood. I have a strong will and don’t let people belittle or manipulate me. I am independent. I question everything. I am subtle. I’m also very polite unless someone gives me a reason not to be.
Weaknesses: I have horrible insomnia, and I always have. I don’t function well in big social situations: they suffocate me. I don’t like public speaking, unless it’s within the context of theatre. I obsess over things. I am a perfectionist, which is sometimes helpful and sometimes…not. I can be sardonic and avoidant. I am self-critical to a fault and obsessive over many things. I am prone to depression. I love luxury but sometimes can’t enjoy it. I’m self-absorbed but acutely aware of it, yet my self-absorbed tendencies are totally unconscious, so that makes me even more frustrated. I’m kind of paranoid and suspicious of other people, even when I don’t have any concrete reason to be so. I’m impatient, both with other people and sometimes with myself. Sometimes I think I read too much into people/things. I can be ambiguous and cryptic. Sometimes I feel that I am an unsympathetic person, though it’s difficult to prove this because it’s kind of hard to see right away.
Bad Habits: Being nocturnal, disregarding other people, eating too many sweets, becoming obsessed with schoolwork, taking on too many projects, forgetting to eat, drinking too much caffeinated tea, withdrawing into myself, hiding in my room for hours on end, disregarding my already non-existent social life, not sleeping, over-analyzing things, being sarcastic, coming off as cold and aloof, pushing people away when I don’t mean to, worrying too much, over-criticizing myself, nitpicking.
Likes: Linguistics, foreign languages, writing, reading, clothing, art, silversmithing, shiny things, classical music, singing, good conversation, nature, dark chocolate, theatre, getting sleep, thunderstorms, succeeding at my goals.
Dislikes: Bright lights, noise, bad music, hot weather, lots of sunlight, most children, crowds, mean people, stupid people, disrespect, homophobia, men who equate masculinity with superiority, stupid laws, abuse, religion, most politicians, people who try to manipulate me, not meeting my own standards, being around lots of other people at once, obnoxiousness.
Hobbies: Writing, reading, studying foreign languages/linguistics, silversmithing, singing, messing around with my computers, watching people, theatre.
Talents: I’ve studied classical voice for three or so years, so that’s probably one of my more visible (or audible?) talents. I’m good at acquiring and studying languages. I am studying/have studied French, Italian, Latin, and Welsh. I’m academically successful in all areas, especially language arts, history, linguistics, and foreign languages. I’m good in metalsmithing, especially in silver casting. I was a good archer when I still had time to shoot regularly. I’m a good actor/performer. People say I have good stage presence. I’m good with words most of the time. I also have an amazingly good memory, both long- and short-term, especially with numbers and words.
Interests: See hobbies. Besides those, I really like studying Byzantine history, especially the place of gender in that society.
Favourite character: L. His entire character is fascinating to me. The coupling of his genius intelligence and quirky mannerisms is totally amusing and interesting. Just...pure love. I also really like Mello, for different reasons. His impulsiveness was strangely attractive.
Least favourite character: Misa kind of annoyed me. Just her personality, but I can see how her character works with the story, even if she really is just a plot device. She seemed kind of 2-D to me. Her only driving force was her unconditional, undying love for Light and/or her thankfulness that he killed her parents’ murderer.
Would you use the Death Note?: No. Do I even need to give a reason why not? Why would I want to get myself embroiled in that? I wouldn’t want the responsibility, mostly. Or the guilt, because knowing me, I would feel morally responsible whether I thought these people “deserved” to die to not. “Deserve” is just such a subjective concept. I wouldn’t trust myself to choose what it is, especially when human life is involved. In fact, I would not trust anyone to do this.
Who would you use it on, and why?: N/A
Do you support Kira?: No. One person should not get to “play god” over all of humanity. How can you count on one single human to arbitrarily decide who “deserves” to die or not? Such judgment is necessarily arbitrary and therefore totally unreliable, unethical, and absurd.
Anything else you'd like to add?: That’s it! :O Sorry about the length of this whole app.
