THE PERSONAL
Likes:
- Music: Most popular music except Country (Rock, Christian Rap, Heavy Metal, Techno, some Pop), Orchestral music, background music for movies or video games, World Music, anything that sounds interesting (not necessarily 'good', just 'different'.) I love writing music (orchestra pieces, stuff for ensembles, songs on the guitar, or piano, or cello, or vocal).
- Art: Sketchy drawings done in pen, watercolor where the colors blend together on accident, dipping your hands in a vat of paint and running your fingers across a blank canvas.
- Drama: Watching people dance, the human body in general, the male body in general, good acting, bad acting, messing up on stage and winging it.
- Other: Forgetting to eat, sleeping late, feeling cold and bundling up in a comforter, winter, dead trees, ice, the embers of a fire, fire, burning things, the ocean, the beach, sand, clear things, a good book, good romance novels, the point of conflict right before a relationship begins, two people who hate each other falling in love, being lazy, being late to something and getting away with it, puns, sarcasm, dry humor, making fun of other people, making fun of yourself, to lie convincingly, dreams that feel real.
I like a lot of things~
Dislikes: Unfounded mistrust, lying when it hurts you or others, talking without end, even when your point has already been given, other people who rant and don’t listen, people who listen and don’t hear, talking about others behind their back, blaming people for your mistakes, hypocrisy, hating someone for who they are, judging someone without getting to know them, bad grammar, poor characterization, movies with no plot (or plot holes the size of the abyss).
What do you feel is your best quality?: Compassion. I try to make people feel at ease around me and my friends, even if I don’t know them, or don’t particularly like them.
Your worst?: My want for change. It drives me to break off friendships and relationships simply because they’ve gotten mundane, or I’ve fallen into a routine.
Pet Peeves: Ranting, people who play their instrument out of tune, getting ‘their’, ‘there’, and ‘they’re’ mixed up.
Dreams & Ambitions: To become a film scorer for major motion films, or video games, to write a novel (or two, or five~) and get it published, and to find my soul mate~
Personality in 5 words or less: Accepting, schizophrenic, inwardly guarded, selfless

FAVORITES
Favorite Season: Winter. I love seeing the gnarled, jagged branches of dead trees.
Favorite Element: Wind (or Sky). It makes me think of agility, and stealth, and freedom.
Favorite Naruto character & why: Gaara. There are so many hidden facets to his character - bloodlust, ferocity, vulnerability, brokenness -, that are infinitely fascinating; I’m the kind of person who would want to delve into his reasoning, fix it, if he’s willing, but mostly to just understand. Plus, I’ve always had a thing for the clinically insane~

THIS OR THAT
Mature or Immature: Mature. Overly so. A lot of things that interest me don’t interest people my age.
Leader or Follower: Follower. I have the ability to lead, and I will if the situation calls for it, but I’m content to let other people take charge, if I feel they’re worthy enough.
Optimistic or Pessimistic: Optimistic. I’m definitely a mix of both (I’m very sarcastic, and I have a dry sense of humor, so a lot of what I say sounds pessimistic), but even my pessimism has an underlying tone of optimism. “Oh, so the world’s gone to hell? Anyone want to do something stupid to see if they can freeze it over~?”
Impulsive or Cautious: Mm… This one is hard, but I’d have to say, for the most part, I’m cautious. I always think about what I’m going to say, before I say it, and weigh my actions against possible repercussions. That’s not to say I’ve never taken a spur-of-the-moment road trip, or driven a good hundred or so miles in a day, just for the heck of it~
Outgoing or Shy: Outgoing. I used to be very shy, but now I find it easy to talk to strangers when I’m alone, no matter their age or appearance.
Hardworking or Laid-back: Laid-back. To the point of lazy (Past it, maybe?). I’m a horrible procrastinator, I’m late to most everything I’m asked to attend, and things just don’t… move me, like they do other people. It’s hard to scare me, or get me riled up, and it takes a lot to annoy me or wear my patience thin.
Hyper, Calm, or somewhere in-between: Calm. Very, very calm. The world could be crashing down around me, and I’ll force myself to take a step back and quell any kind of nervousness I feel. Logic reigns~
Modest or Bold: Modest. I hate the thought of coming off as arrogant, or self-righteous. I’m more of a, “I’ll compliment you,” kind of person, and, “Oh, if you happen to notice something I’ve accomplished myself, well thank you very much~”
Lover or Fighter: Lover. Conflict just isn’t worth it - I’ll go to extremes to avoid it -, and I pretty much adore people in general. I look towards the good in everyone, because I want other people to give me the same courtesy.

SITUATIONS
You really don't like someone and find them in a heap of trouble. Would you ignore their pleas for help or give a helping hand?: Give them a helping hand, definitely. I would feel horribly guilty otherwise.
When the going gets tough, do you stay your ground by yourself, call for help, or run away?: No man is an island, but I try to be. When things get hard, I steel myself for the worst, and endure it on my own. I’m used to bottling up my emotions, and have pretty much trained my mind into a ‘fend-for-yourself’ mode.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting 10 minutes. What do you do?: “Hey, excuse me, but I was here first. You can cut in behind me, but you might want to ask the people back there first. Okay? Thank you very much.”
I can be firm when I want to be~
NARUTO VERSE; Naruto has been following you around all day, trying to get you to teach him a new secret move he saw you do that he thought was cool. What do you do?: Teach him, of course. If he’s been annoying me, the quickest way to resolve that type of conflict is to concede to his request. I’ll give a quick lesson, tell him he owes me, and high-tail it outta there~
NARUTO VERSE; Would you rather be attacking up close and personal, hiding far off using a type of long range attacks, or not on the battle field at all? Long range attacks, by far~ If battle is imminent, I’d rather be at a distance, keeping an eye on everything going on, so I can protect my friends from afar, in case they don’t see something coming at them in time.
NARUTO VERSE; Your friend has joined the "dark side" and wants you to join them. More power and money, they say. Would you join them?
If I really wanted to, yeah. I wouldn’t compromise my own morals just because they say it’s “cool” to do so. If I thought they were in danger, I’d turn the tables and try to persuade them onto my side.

INSPIRATIONAL
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?: My self-esteem. I want more of it. <3
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?: I’d teach people manners (Mind if we chemically alter their bodies so they get a little shock every time they’re rude~?). Chivalry is dead, and I really, really miss it.
If you could become any character from the series for one day - 24 hours - who would it be?: Future!Sakura. I love her strength, and would jump at the chance to interact with those people close to her.
If you were given the chance to permanently become part of the Naruto-verse (as "yourself"), would you take it?: YES. Oh yes, please! I adore change, remember? The Naru-verse is constantly shifting - there’s always something new going on, someone new to meet. Can I go now? <3

Is there any character that you strongly would disagree with being voted as?: Uhh... Danzou? XD
