All of these comments are screened right now, but I assure you that they are there.
Basics
¤ 1) Name Sephy (Persephone)
¤ 2) Age 20
¤ 3) Country Australia
Personality
¤ 4) From a first impression, what kind of person do you appear to be? Quiet and soft-spoken, but with a polite and pleasant demeanour. Somebody people would either love to befriend or love to try and walk all over.
¤ 5) How does that differ from the person you are? While it is true that I am somewhat shy and reserved amongst strangers (but still act friendly toward them), I'm hardly anyone's doormat. In fact, those who try to make me so are often liable to be treated to the sharp edge of my tongue.
¤ 6) What kind of person do you want to become, then? A strong individual people can approach as a friend without fear, but also know better than to mess with. Basically, someone who can stand her ground in any situation, but not lack empathy.
¤ 7) What, or who, is your inspiration in life? I don't really have one. I think it's a waste of time trying to compare yourself with other people. Though, I do admire the sort of amazing people in history who made a difference while maintaining their humanity and standing for all they believe in. That's true strength, I think.
¤ 8) What are your major strong points? Kindness and compassion are what I'm primarily known for, as well as my ability to keep a secret. Though I'm usually quiet, when I do speak I manage to be both blunt and yet considerate at the same time. Within group situations, I'm very cheerful and get involved in everything, and my vivid imagination allows me to come up with many ideas that I can throw into the mix to help us all have a good time! Also, I don't know whether to list this as positive or negative, but since I think it's a good thing, I'll also mention that I'm pretty curious...much like my cat. ;D
¤ 9) What are your major weak points? Because I'm so stubborn, it can often be an effort for me to openly admit when I'm wrong, even when I know I am inside. It's also a challenge to sway me from a decision once I've made it. There are times when I also say very strange things or don't phrase myself correctly - particularly when overexcited - and I get frustrated when people tell me to repeat myself or get upset with me because I don't make sense. Because, to me, it does.
¤ 10) What makes you (^__^) =D? reading, writing, exploring/learning about new places, flora and fauna, photography, crafty activities, video games, fantasy and/or supernatural novels, swimming, horseriding, ice-skating (purely recreational), mythology, seeing people happy, hanging with friends, listening to music
¤ 11) What makes you (¤>__<) >:(? racism/sexism/religious intolerance, smoking, drugs, alcoholics, cruelty of any kind, stuck-ups/cheaters/liars, incorrect spelling and grammar, people leaving their chewing gum all over the place, rudeness
¤ 12) What makes you (;__;) ;(? sad/extremely romantic movies, moving speeches, fighting with friends and family, intense pain
¤ 13) What is your general mood? Usually just calm and quiet; sometimes I seem almost apathetic, even though I don't really mean to, and am far from it.
Thoughts
¤ 14) Do you think taking a human's life can be justified? What human being really has the right to decide if taking someone's life is justified? I think if it were death as the result of self-defence or the protection of others, then that's okay; it was unavoidable, and perhaps in some ways necessary. But there's no excuse for murder, in my mind.
¤ 15) What do you think of love? I think that it's true what they say, about it being one of the most beautiful things in the world. In that sense, I'm sorry that I'm yet to experience such an intense emotion. But, at the same time, it can hurt, especially when it's not returned.
¤ 16) How do you view your life? Right now, pretty damn bland and boring. But that'll change fast, if I have any say in it!
¤ 17) Do you “live” in the past, present or future? The present! Why dwell on what happened a long time ago? It's done; you can't take it back, and brooding is useless. And similarly, why wonder on what's to come? Whatever happens, happens!
Situations
¤ 18) Could you risk your life on a 15% chance of dying under unknown conditions if you would get really rich if you succeed? Maybe. I don't know. There's a certain risk of death in every second of your life, but...well...hm.
¤ 19) There’s war. Some people fight for their lives, some try to flee the field, some protect their family, some hide, some nurse the sick, some organize people, some steal, some try to stop the fights… Where are you? I think I'd be wherever I'm needed. I'm not a fighter (nor am physically capable of it) so I wouldn't be, say, right on the front lines, or anything. But I'd be supporting by helping the wounded, maybe protecting my family and friends if absolutely necessary...sheesh, I could be anywhere and everywhere in that sort of situation!
¤ 20) If you had Mukuro's power to possess people, how would you use it? I'd possess the leaders of the world, make them declare peace and unity between nations, and have them actually do something that benefits their people. (Allowing gay marriages, better health care, more direct action toward environmental affairs...stuff like that)
¤ 21) A smiling, white-haired man comes to your house, eats all of your marshmallows, and says he needs your powers in the Mafia to overthrow other Mafias. (You’re getting nicely paid and free ice-cream for a year!) Free ice-cream and money is very appealing. But unless it directly affects me or anyone I care about, I would see no reason to get involved in a criminal organisation just for material objects and...uh...fatty foods. X3
¤ 22) You find a wallet on the street. It contains a lot of money, a drivers license, and two condoms. I'd return it. Feel too guilty taking money I didn't earn. But I'd have to tease whoever it was about the condoms. XD
¤ 23) Your house is burning. A lot. You have no idea where the other occupants of the house are. I'd try to find them amongst the blaze, if I could. If not, I'd have no choice but to evacuate without them.
Random
¤ 24) How do you eat your hotdogs? Just with plain old tomato sauce. Don't really need much else!
¤ 25) What’s your theme song? Ugh, as if this doesn't change daily as I'm exposed to more music. >.<¤ But for now, I'll settle with "Story of a Girl" by Nine Days.
¤ 26) Tell us a character from another fandom that you identify yourself with? Probably Rinoa Heartilly of Final Fantasy VIII. We were both raised in similar socioeconomic backgrounds, and as a result we're admittedly spoiled. Though we both feel we can change the world at times, when we actually get out there we realise how powerless we are, but this doesn't stop us from trying. While I'm far more shy, I can be nonetheless just as straightforward when the mood strikes me, and am quick to voice my disapproval in similar fashion to Miss Heartilly.
¤ 27) Give us a picture of, or describe your room Fairly small; usually extremely tidy. Looks a bit girly, I confess, with the vases of flowers are small ornaments littering the place. Bookshelf is just in front of my bed, which usually has purple, patterned sheets on it, and just next to my bookshelf is my little "entertainment centre" (three shelves with my television, PS2, video/dvd player & iPod jack). Also have my cupboard of clothes and storage space next to my bed, and my chest of drawers at the other end of the room. Walls are creamy in colour, with yellow curtains and blue, floral trimming up the top. (I hate my curtains...)
