THE BASICS
Name: Rachel
Age: Pff.
Gender: Female
...................
THE PERSONAL
[ Likes: ] Having free time, sleeping, drawing, reading, music, shopping, coffee, tea, photography, mythology, creating things, interesting details, seeing the results of hard work, hanging out with friends, shocking people, spicy and/or sour food, making people laugh, looking at art, tattoos, dark humor, watching TV+movies, spacing out
[ Dislikes: ] Rejection, being made fun of, dirty looks, silverfish, balloons, shallow people, arrogance, moochers, nosy people, people knowing too much about me, ignorance, hypocrisy, narrow-mindedness, envy, jealousy, being considered weak/unintelligent, losing or forgetting something, hurting other people's feelings (unless I'm doing it on purpose, obviously), getting lost
What do you feel is your best quality?: My best? ... I guess an ability to stay somewhat independent. I don't just follow the opinion of "everyone else" and I don't let emotions muck things up too much, I hope.
I guess I have an ability to calm people down... that's what others say anyway. I think it's because I put myself in their shoes and understand (or try to) where they're coming from.
Your worst?: I'm extremely hard on myself, so sometimes I have high expectations for everyone else and get irritated when that person can't meet it.
Er, and when I get really angry (which is rare) something usually ends up broken or someone gets hurt. Someone ends up psychologically scarred XD;
What I think is my "best quality" might also be my worst though... people seem to think I don't care and/or I'm cold because I value logic and fairness over a purely emotional response. And I find that frustrating coming from someone I do care about.
Pet Peeves: Loud chewing, grinding teeth, too much perfume or any strong scent, being obnoxious for attention, neediness, suck-ups, spelling errors, getting followed or rudely gawked at.
Dreams & Ambitions: Improving my drawing skills and time management, improving as a person. Getting a successful job that I'm happy with.
Personality in 5 words or less: Stubborn, reserved, patient, loyal, weird... eccentric? creative?

FAVORITES
Favorite Season: Spring or fall, in terms of weather.
Favorite Element: Water
Favorite Naruto character & why: ... Probably Gaara. At first, there was something about him that I just found interesting. When I read the backstory chapter(s), I felt so sad and it kind of fleshed out an understanding for his character. And then after he fought Naruto, he decided to change himself and did. :]
...................
THIS OR THAT
Mature or Immature: Mostly mature, but still immature enough to embarrass myself.
Leader or Follower: I won't volunteer to lead, but I'll take over if the assigned leader isn't doing their job. I usually get my way in a group somehow. As leader, I listen to everyone's input; I'm human, I can't know everything... someone else may have the best solution. Or let them try doing it their way, and they can realize on their own that's not really a good idea. Otherwise... I just do my own thing and don't care whether anyone's following or whatever.
Optimistic or Pessimistic: Overall optimist. I expect the worst and laugh at my bad luck.
Impulsive or Cautious: Really cautious... sometimes I take too long thinking of all the possibilities. My impulsive reactions usually end very badly.
Outgoing or Shy: Shy with random sparks of outgoing.
Hardworking or Laid-back: Uh... hardworking if I see a reason for it.
Hyper, Calm, or somewhere in-between: Calm -> somewhere in-between
Modest or Bold: Pretty modest.
Lover or Fighter: Lover, I don't like conflict as a whole. Although when I decide to fight and I lose... I'll take the other person down with me or damage them somehow; it's very rare that it's a complete loss for me.

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?:
What did they do to make me dislike them? In general, if their life is in danger, I'll help them. If it's nothing serious, I'm really not going to try and help.
When the going gets tough, do you stay your ground by yourself, call for help, or run away?:
Stay my ground by myself until I see that it really is impossible (pride+stubborn), then I'll call for help.
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting 10 minutes. What do you do?:
Try and let it go while mentally wishing bad things to happen to them, like hospitalization. If they're that inconsiderate, they're probably unhappy all on their own. Bachi, man. Although if I reallyreally need to be somewhere and/or I'm in a real bad mood, I'll politely let them know there has been a line and, you know, the back of the line is over there. And if they don't move it, then I'm going to kill them give them a Glare-That-Makes-People-Almost-Shit-Their-Pants. :|
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?:
If it's not serious, I'll teach it to him. If it is, I'd explain to him I can't teach it to him... if he keeps trying, ignore him. If he really pisses me off, I'll show him the secret move all right... by using it on him.
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?
Hm... long range first, then up close and personal.
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?
How dark is this "dark side?" I'd probably laugh o_O;; I would ask them why they joined; if it was just because of "more power and money," I would be very disappointed and give them a physical and verbal beatdown.

INSPIRATIONAL
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?:
Have more confidence and faith in myself.
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?:
Maybe if people felt more secure with themselves and the world around them.
If you could become any character from the series for one day - 24 hours - who would it be?:
I wouldn't want to become any of the characters...
If you were given the chance to permanently become part of the Naruto-verse (as "yourself"), would you take it?:
Don't think so. As I am, I would suck at being a ninja! And the Naruto-verse has its own set of issues and drawbacks.

Is there any character that you strongly would disagree with being voted as?: Nope, I just want to see what people think.
