Name: Karma
Age: 22
Gender: Female

Briefly describe your personality (links to personality types are acceptable):
Words other people have used to describe me: Creative is the first word they often choose. Creative, and artistic. Other things they have said are snarky, funny, intelligent, intimidating, mean, kind (LOL), strong-willed, arrogant, a good listener, supportive… I think the most interesting description I received was “gracious and with a certain kind of inner serenity”. I suppose it’s true at times, but I would never describe myself that way. While unsure of what personality type I was before, overall I would describe myself as an ESTP/ENTP mix, though I prefer not to define myself by any set "type" (which is apparently, a trait of my type lol). I mentioned both because it really depends on the situation.

Basically, I’m a focused and incredibly stubborn, passionate free spirit. I have as much fun as I can, but I don't halfass my goals and I have my priorities. When it comes to how I present myself to others, I’m outgoing, cheerful, and laid-back to the point of being flippant. Despite those traits, when it comes to goals I’m a perfectionist and very hard on myself. I’m very rarely satisfied (and probably never will be), but I act confident anyway because I hate false modesty and I work to go past my limits. My friendliness is kind of an act to keep people at arms-length while enjoying being around them. I can be pretty detached from others, bottling my emotions up, and I prefer to deal with my conflicts internally. I’m a closet nerd and a lot more intelligent than I let on, traits I hide it for a variety of reasons. Though, I am working myself out of that and I do put full effort into academics because I enjoy the challenge. I’m pretty idealistic, but I'm good at seeing all sides of the story too and just because I have ideals doesn't mean I'm overly naive. In fact, I can be surprisingly cynical at times. I’m kind of loud and crazy around people I like, but I tend to be more quiet and I find other ways to entertain myself if the people around me don’t interest me. Which happens quite often. I’m bored easily. I’m accepting of everyone but I don’t tolerate drama. That doesn’t mean I like everyone, but I am capable of finding likeable qualities and it’s rare I hate anybody. I’m observant and I think quickly, so I act quickly.
List some of your positive traits: Friendly, cheerful, quick, hyper, adaptable, intellectual, focused, driven, determined, ambitious, intelligent, a good actress.
List some of your negative traits: Hard to read, overly observant, inwardly emotional, occasionally reckless, all or nothing, perfectionist, can appear cold, vulgar, easily bored, a good actress.
List some of your neutral traits: Outspoken, detached, blunt, social loner, rebellious, adventurous, thick-skinned, snarky.
What are you good at?: I’m a quick learner, and overall I do well in academics. I think I’m strongest in Science and English. I’m good at acting and I’m also good at changing my voice. People say I’m good at drawing. I’m pretty good at action games and first person shooters, as well as public speaking. Provided I'm prepared, I'm not one to get nervous.
What are you not so good at?: Expressing my emotions, dedicating myself to things I find uninteresting/I don't really benefit from, being tactful, getting close, sharing my intelligence (I have to be really comfortable around someone to do that, but I am working on that). Strategy games. I lose patience and I JUST WANT TO BEAT THINGS UP.
What is your life like right now, do you feel happy?: It's okay, and I'm pretty apathetic at the moment.
Hobbies, interests, likes: Acting, dancing, running, sports, singing, drawing, the ocean, the beach, fashion, makeup, hairstyling, exploring, ideas, dark chocolate, astronomy, archaeology, anthropology, swords, outer space, video games, laser tag, fun, stupid stunts, theater, public speaking, tea, coffee, spring rain, good horror flicks, science fiction (except syfy), glow sticks, dressing up, sunshine, plant life, body art, daydreaming, learning, colorful things, reading in general, motorcycles.
Pet peeves, dislikes: those who don’t use correct hygiene when sick, people who ask stupid questions without even trying to figure it out on their own, drama, cruelty, apathy, Katy Perry, SYFY, ignorance, bigotry, people who do nothing but whine about everyone else, two faces, spiders, winter, no sunshine, most condescending attitudes, being clinged to, the mundane, alcohol, cigarettes, people who don’t think for themselves, the misuse of vocabulary.

Book: I’m fond of the Dune series and I also like some of the spin-offs for the Star Trek and Star Wars series. Sometimes I could argue about the quality of a few of them, but they’re good for an entertaining read. I’m a Michael Crichton fangirl and my current favorite would be Sphere.
Color: I like bright, richly pigmented colors in general. My favorites would have to be yellow, aqua, pink.

Favorite character trait?: In others: Self-awareness, sense of fun, strength in all its forms when it comes to others. When it comes to myself, it would have to be my intelligence and determination.
Favorite feeling?: Passion, adrenaline
Favorite word?: Disasteriffic
Favorite quote?: "Right and wrong are not what separate us and our enemies. It's our different standpoints, our perspectives that separate us."

"I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying."

"Funny how you can say something in your head and it sounds fine."
Favorite song lyrics?: I have too many that speak to me in some way.

A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: Idealistic and optimistic. Not one who is shocked by all the bad things, in fact I tend to react with a cynical sense of humor. I just prefer focusing on the good things.
Trusting or Cynical: In the middle.
Emotional or Stoic: The thing is, the more stoic and cold I am at the time, the more emotional I’m probably feeling at that moment. I’m not really stoic in the quiet, serious sense, but I keep most of my emotions to myself. My emotions are reserved but when I feel them they're very strong. They fuel me, and then I act out on them with a cool head…usually.
Introverted or Extroverted: Guarded extrovert.
Independent or Dependent: Independent.
Normal or Weird: Too weird to be normal, too normal to be weird.
Organized or Chaotic: Kinda… organized chaos. Yeah let's go with that.
Cheerful or not: Cheerful~ Even if it’s only to annoy people at times. The best way to get to people who want to upset you is to act like the world is sunshine and butterflies!

Have you seen/read this series?: Yep.
If not, why?:
If yes, did you like it?: I like Nana, but Kimi ni Todoke has quickly become possibly my favorite shojo manga. The awkwardness of their interactions and endearing personalities the characters have won me over.
Which of the characters is nothing like you in your opinion?: Kurumi. I like her, but she’s far too fake and cutesy to be like me. Other than being friendly, we have nothing in common. For Nana, Hachi. I was previously stamped as Hachi, and thinking about it while we have some traits in common, there’s a lot that makes us different. Hachi is emotionally dependent, clings to her friends, and she lacks any real set ambition. On the other hand, I’m not very emotionally dependent, I'm more intellectual, I detach myself often, and my goals are different. Also, I don't believe I've ever "fallen in love" as quickly as her. A lot of her goals are influenced by the people she cares about because she wants to be around them, rather than wanting success, etc. Which isn't a bad thing, she has a lot of good qualities and I admire how she can be so openly kind. But, other than a spontaneous/silly nature, I can’t relate to her very much anymore and I don’t think she’s the best fit.

You must vote on every unstamped application before you post your own!: Done!
