Name: Mariam
Nickname: Maki
Age: 18
Birthdate: 8 - 7 - 87
Likes: Candy, sweets or any other baked goods (I keep secret stashes of candy all over the place), all forms of art, martial arts, meditation, clear skies, learning new things, animals, a good joke every now and then, nature, and... anything, really. I'm always up for something new.
Dislikes: Poor weather (rain, snow or strong winds), sour or tasteless food, ignorant or mean-spirited people, failure, seeing animals or people in pain, dishonesty, deadlines, being kept inside or otherwise restrained.
Strengths: Well, my patience when dealing with people, for one. I can get along with all different kinds of people and I'm generally friendly and openminded. I'm very meticulous and hard-working when it comes to projects, but I'm not a workaholic. I can hold my own in a debate, but I'm not too opinionated. Even if I can get kind of stubborn, I can always change my point of view when I realize that someone else is right and I'm wrong.
Weaknesses: I'm secretly a sore loser, a perfectionist, and never satisfied with myself. I'm often taken for a fool just because I act cheerful and absent minded (and then I say something smart and shock everyone). I'm a little on the reserved side, too. I'll make small talk and carry on a nice, light-hearted conversation, but even if I seem social and friendly, I'm still detached... you know?
Pet Peeves: Screeching or squealing, and my dislikes.
Hobbies: Martial arts, meditation, reading, writing, drawing, sculpting, playing the piano, listening to music (don't tell anyone, but... *cough* I listen to enka music..), learning... well, I guess it sort-of ties in with my likes. ^^; Haha.
Talents: I speak two languages (not fluently quite yet, but I'm getting there), I'm a brown belt in Kung Fu (we learn many different forms, but the main concentration is Shaolin), and I guess art's sort of a talent?
Favorite Color: Green and gold. Especially green and gold together. (But not orange. God, what a heinous color...)
Favorite Food: Anything that includes unagi, mochi (preferably wrapped in nori and then dipped in soy sauce), and thai food.
Mature or Immature? Mature, but I still know how to have fun. There's a difference between being immature and knowing when to lighten up.
Leader or Follower? If I was a leader, I'd have no followers... Leader.
Favorite Gensomaden Saiyuki Character [why?]: Hm... Nataku, Hakkai or Koumyou. I don't know why, I'm just drawn to them.
Least Gensomaden Saiyuki Character [why?]: Gyokumen. Every story needs a good villain, but she was just too much of your typical, cookie-cutter villain. (Nii Jyeni, though... he makes her look like the Diet Coke of evil. Just one calorie -- not evil enough!)
Favorite Gensomaden Saiyuki pairing [why?]: Ukoku/Koumyou, just because. I mean... really, just because. Pssh, you and your reasons. Just, the way their characters are. Putting them together would be interesting, wouldn't it? (They are, after all, the night and the moon.)
Least favorite Gensomaden Saiyuki pairing [why?]: Sanzo/Goku. I mean, I know he's over 500 years old, but he's still just a kid at heart. That just seems so... creepy.
