GENERAL INFORMATION
Name: Maria
Age: Sixteen
1./ If you could have one job, what would it be?
Graphics designer for video games or movies. Ever since I watched a making-of video of Age of Mythology and they showed the art process, I've wanted to do it. Either that, acting or singing.
2./ What are your four worst qualities?
Aggressive, vindictive, selfish and lazy.
3./ What are your four best qualities?
Loyal, honest, loving and dependable.
4./ Describe yourself in five words or fewer.
Extremely strange individual.
5./ Describe your leadership style.
I can't lead very well. Mostly because the people I'm supposed to lead tend to ignore what I say, haha! But that's okay, I don't mind following. I actually like having orders to follow. Makes me feel like the responsibility isn't as great. Responsibility isn't my thing.
6./ How do you think others would describe you?
Intelligent, rude, creative, imaginative.
7./ When under a lot of pressure, how do you manage it?
At first, I don't. I freak out because of stress, so I binge-eat or drown my sorrows in alcohol. When that's done, the logical side of my brain finally kicks in and I actually start to try and solve my problems out.
8./ Pick one that describes you the best.
a./ Introvert or Extrovert (self-motivated or action/people-motivated): Introvert.
b./ Logical or Intuitive (go with concrete fact or trust your gut): Intuitive.
c./ Thinking or Feeling (follow your head or follow your heart): Feeling.
d./ Shy or Outgoing: Shy.
e./ Optimistic or Pessimistic: Pessimistic.
9./ How do you show that you care about others?
Strangely enough, I treat them badly. Though when I'm actually trying to show them I care, I flat out tell them and ask them if there's anything I can do to prove it. But usually an "I love you" suffices.
10./ Give us a quote.
"When the rich wage war it's the poor who die." - Jean-Paul Sartre
11./ Who is your hero and why? (Does not have to be anyone famous.)
My mom, because even though I'm such a horrible daughter and sometimes refuse to admit it, she's done everything and more for me.
QUESTIONS RELATED TO BAND OF BROTHERS
1./ Favourite soldier in Easy Company. Why?
Lipton. He's adorable and a very good leader. He cares a lot about the other soldiers. It makes me happy that he's so caring even in war.
2./ Favourite episode or favourite chapter in the book. Why?
(I've yet to read the book. It's in my shelf, but I still gotta read it) Probably Currahee. It's that time when they're still fresh and haven't experienced war yet. It makes me happy to see them start fraternizing with each other, I guess.
3./ If you had been alive in World War Two and eligible for military service, what branch would you have joined? What job would you have wanted (infantry, artillery, medic, pilot, at all.)? Why?
Infantry. 2nd Ranger Battalion. Just because I think I'd love to climb stuff and do all that hard work, even though my body doesn't really allow me to. I'd probably have a different body if I were alive in World War Two, anyway, so... yeah!
4./ Okay, so now you're in the military. What is the one thing you want to send or bring home from Europe?
A luger and a nazi flag, for sure. And maybe one of those iron crosses, if I could find one.
5./ The war in Europe is over. Would you be willing to go fight in the Pacific? Why or why not?
No. I'm done with war.
6./ What are your plans for when you return home?
I'll go with what Winters said. Find a nice, peaceful spot of land and spend the rest of my days there. And hopefully get a horse and a dog. I like animals.
