[about you]
Describe your personality I'm kind of both ends of the extremes. I can go from quiet and angry to loud and cheerful in a matter of minutes, depending on the issue. I like to be around people, but I like my alone time just as much. I reclusive and kind of a loner, but still outgoing. I'm honest, though some would call it blunt, and I expect other people to be honest with me. If I find out I've been lied to, chances are you won't be forgiven for quite awhile.
What do you like the most about yourself? I like that people feel like they can come to me with their problems and they expect me to give them my honest opinion rather than tell them what they want to hear.
What would you rather change about your personality? I'd like to be less temperamental.
[meeting the parents]
Describe the relation you have with your parents giving as many details as you feel comfortable with: My parents are divorced and both are remarried, so I basically have four parents. I'm really close with my mom, and I tell her a lot of what's going on in my life (though I tend to leave out the more personal details). My dad, on the other hand, knows next to nothing about me. We haven't really gotten along in years. He's (in my personal opinion) a spineless jellyfish who has never really been a dad to me unless it's on his terms. My stepmother treats me more like a sister than a daughter, which is cool sometimes, but sometimes I have to tell her that I'm not going to tell her everything because my life is my life. My stepdad is pretty much the father that my dad never was. We get along pretty well most of the time (though we both have explosive tempers, so if either of us is angry, we know to stay away from each other). We joke around with each other a lot and are constantly picking on each other.
Would you change anything of this relation? Honestly? No, I don't think I would. My family is my family, no matter how dysfunctional we really are.
Do you see yourself moving to a faraway place or do you like to be close to your family? I can see myself doing either - staying close or moving away. I like to do my own thing rather than rely on them and be around them constantly, but I want to be close enough that if there's an emergency I won't have far to go.
What qualities do you think make an ideal parent? Loving and generous, but still able to discipline their children when they need to. They need to give their children space enough to grow but not push them away entirely.
What do you think a (good) parent should never do? A good parent should never turn their back on their child. They don't have to baby the child (especially if the "child" is an adult), but they should always be there to support them emotionally.
What do you think is worse: over-protectiveness or giving too much freedom to the kids? Neither are good parenting strategies, but too much freedom is worse. If the kid grows up thinking they can get away with anything, they're going to be that much worse off when real life catches up with them. Plus, boundaries show you care, as long as they aren't too unreasonable.
[the world of Fire Emblem]
Describe the childhood you’ll like to have in this kind of world: I'd like to be the child of mercenaries. I could learn to fight from them and defend myself in case the need ever arose, I wouldn't have that sheltered lifestyle of a royal, and I'd have the freedom to enjoy life without being somebody the country relies on.
Do you see yourself following the family business or going your own path? Depends on what the family business is, though odds are I'd go my own way. Family is important, but you shouldn't sacrifice your own dreams to please your parents.
A war is about to start: your parent wants to support one of the countries, but you think that’s a mistake. What do you do? I tell them they're making a mistake and try to get them to see the bigger picture, but ultimately, it's their decision who they want to support, and I can't change their mind.
Your best friend is in trouble and needs you! Your parent thinks you shouldn’t get involved, do you still go to help even if that means having a big argument with your parent? I'd go help anyway, as fast as possible, and possibly apologize for not listening to the parent later. If I end up regretting helping my friend, oh well; I knew I was doing the right thing when I set out, and I'd try to get over it.
Like it happens to every good hero, your parent is tragically killed. Do you search for revenge or try to move on? Revenge, definitely. I'm pretty viscious when it comes to protecting the people I care about, and I would feel like I failed my parent by not being there to protect them, whether I could've saved them or not, and probably the only way I'd move on is if I could kill the person that killed them.
Anything else you’d like to share? Think that's everything! :D
