Fighting evil by moonlight!

Name: Jaenelle Yukina
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Horoscope: Aquarius sun/moon, Libra rising
Does your sign fit your personality? Yes and no; most Aquarians are very exuberant and can be extremely lively. While I can be very eclectic, I think my Libra rising makes more sense (as does my Venus being in the sign of Pisces, hence my username!)
Likes: East Asian philosophy and literature, music (I study voice as a lyric soprano), divination/occultism, reading, fashion/cosmetics, swimming, playing video games, cooking, drawing/painting, eating in general :P
Dislikes: Mathematics and science, insects, being caught in the rain, studying (but not learning! Learning is beautiful ♥ ), pushy/rude people, lies, corruption
Describe your strengths: I'm very compassionate; my friends have always described me as the most compassionate person they know and depending on the situation this can be very good or very bad. I have a talent for both languages and music, but music is my first love and out of my group of friends I am the one they associate the most with music. I'm very goal-oriented and whenever my sights are set on something, I work towards it. I'm caring to the point of fault, usually bending over backwards for others. I also have a keen eye for beauty and look for beauty in all things, both in art and in aesthetics. I'm very good at analysing situations and reading them; not in a scientific sense but I'm very intuitive and good at reading people/problems. I've also been told I can be quite serene and elegant, though I have a good sense of humour that seems to counter this at time. :P
Describe your weaknesses: Very aloof; as caring as I am, I am very aloof and can come off as cold. I tend to be reserved one moment, emotional the next. It's VERY easy for me to cry or feel frustrated (I also cry whenever I'm angry, and I despise that). My temper can be pretty bad when riled and I get quite snarky. Also, I can switch from being absolutely frigid to the perfect damsel-in-distress in minutes as I'm quite fragile beneath all the temper. Finally, I procrastinate like there's no tomorrow, tend to run late more often than not, and have a weakness for food. I adore food a little too much (like... I once SQUEALED on the bus when I saw an add for KFC that had two pieces of chicken on it. It scared all the people around me.). ^^;;
Five words to describe you: Altruistic, intelligent, musical, analytical, emotional

Movie: ...I hate this question. There are too many movies I like! Um, Serenity (Firefly), Red Cliff, Unleashed/Danny the Dog, the original Star Wars trilogy, Labyrinth, Stardust... I prefer drama/angst/romance. I don't go for comedy much or horror.
Color: Red, pink, and teal
Band: I don't like many bands, but I do like artists: Anna Netrebko, Emma Shapplin, Renee Fleming, Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Paul van Dyk... I listen to mainly classical and trance/electronica.
Book: These days with my studies I read a lot of non-fiction, especially in philosophy and East Asian-related philosophy/self-cultivation topics. Fiction-wise? The Phantom of the Opera (Gaston Leroux), Kushiel's Legacy (Jacqueline Carey), The Black Jewels Trilogy (Anne Bishop), Harry Potter (J. K. Rowling), the Mists of Avalon (Marion Zimmer Bradley) + more
Food: Yakisoba, gyoza, Thai green curry, ceasar salad, sushi, dim sum, cake, ice cream
Animal: Dolphin :)
Holiday: Christmas! I love the lights, the spirit of giving...
Drink: Mango juice, pineapple juice, coffee, tea

Introverted or extroverted? Introverted, definitely. I am friendly when approached, but not overly so. I don't go out of my way to talk to people usually. On the other hand, when I'm with my friends I can be more perky/excitable and very enthusiastic.
Hugs or handshakes? Handshakes. I only hug my closest friends. Someone has to earn the right to get more than that from me.
Confident or shy? Shy, definitely. I'm working on my confidence.
Mature or playful? Mature, though again, when I'm with my friends I can be more playful/relaxed.
Impulsive or cautious? A mixture of both. I'm not impulsive to an extreme and I'm constantly observing, but I enjoy taking risks. :P
Video games or read a book? ...both. Equally.

It's Halloween and your school is throwing an awesome party there at night. You're completely stoked, are meeting your friends there, and already have your costume picked out. On your way there, you run into a scary Youma, attempting to ruin your plans. What is your strategy? If I am alone, I'll transform and fight (should I have that power in this scenario), definitely. If I'm not, I'll get everyone to safety and lose them along the way deliberately so I can go back and fight, should I, again, have the ability to transform. Ill-regardless, I wouldn't allow the youma to hurt any of my friends. I'd rather I get hurt first.
You're at school and a handsome boy walks past you and smiles. Then next day he's in one of your classes and he's having trouble concentrating, glancing at you every other moment. The bell rings and he starts walking towards you. How do you react? I'd probably be blushing myself though otherwise I'd be outwardly fine. I'd try my best not to babble, however. I tend to do that when I'm nervous.
A new ride opened at a nearby amusement park. You want to go, but start hearing rumors that the ride is terrifying and some people are still having jitters three days after their experience. What do you decide to do? Go anyway. :P Again, I kind of enjoy taking risks.
You're heading to your destination when you see a shy girl being bullied by three older girls. They push her and she looks like she's about to break down in tears. What is your reaction to this? DEFINITELY go over there and stand up for her. Definitely. Sadly, I'd probably be so angry I myself would start to cry, but I'd definitely stand up for her!
You've just met your idol/role-model/favorite celebrity, and magically are able to spend a whole day with them. Who are they and what do you guys plan to do? It would probably be opera singer Anna Netrebko and I would ask her for a singing lesson and to watch her perform!
If you could change one thing about the world what would that be? More compassion, more honesty.
What are your goals and aspirations for the future? I wish to get my Ph.D in some form of East Asian studies, very likely in East Asian Philosophy though time could tell for that one. I also wish very much to study music and maybe get an M.A. in vocal performance, provided I audition well at whatever school I am lucky enough to get into!
What is your general clothing style? Casual feminine with a slight hint of class; I don't like looking plain but I've yet the funds to completely dress up.
This is your chance to show what you like in video form. Go on YouTube and find one of your favorite videos. Post the link here and describe why you like it. If it's a song, you may post the lyrics, too. Um... I live in China and YouTube is blocked here. So, go on YouTube and find Anna Netrebko singing at the Proms. Any video will do. :) She's my favourite still-living soprano.
