Dance like no one is watching
The Basics
Name: Veronica
Nickname: Ronnii, though I go by Reki and MobiusWolf online
Age: 26
Gender: female
Personality
Likes: spending time alone or alone-in-a-crowd, video games (especially RPGs), hot weather, sunsets, being near open water
Dislikes: being the center of attention, being cold, children, other people touching/going through/rearranging my things, mornings
Hobbies: kendo & iaido (sword based martial arts), reading, playing video games, watching anime
Talents: cooking & singing
Ambitions/Goals: To be successful without becoming well known or important
Strong points: intelligent, I'm very organized, though you wouldn't guess that from looking at my apartment. I'm very loyal to my friends. I'm determined to keep my promises, if I agree to do something I'll go out of my way to make sure I do.
Weak points: I take little things more personally than I should and tend to dwell on minor slights for a long time. I'm easily frustrated, especially by people who immediately ask for help instead of at least trying to follow the instructions they've been given. While I won't outright lie, I'm very comfortable with conveniently 'forgetting' to mention things. I get very insecure sometimes and frequently hide behid my sarcasm.
Your personality in 3 words: determined, insecure, sarcastic
Mature/immature: Immature. I work at maintaining an image of being mature and on top of things, but I usually think of myself as a child.
Outgoing/shy: Shy. I don't like being around groups of people I don't know and generally don't initiate conversations with people I don't know well.
Graceful/clumsy: yes. I have very good balance, but I seem to run into things a lot.
Optimistic/pessimistic: Pessimist. 'Expect the worst and sometimes you'll be pleasantly surprised.' (paraphrased from a David Eddings novel)
Leader/follower: definitely a follower
Favorite
Color: Black. It's warm and dark and cozy.
Animal: Wolf. They're really beautiful. I also really like the positive parts of the pack structure with every member having a clearly defined role in maintaining the group's survival.
Food: Salmon. So many different ways to prepare it.
Scents/smells: Coffee.
Fairy tale: The Snow Queen. Because, in the end, friendship means more than anything else.
Princess Tutu character, explain: Fakir. Even though he come across as a jerk at the outset, he turns out to be a caring individual who will risk himself to help the people who are important to him.
Least Favorite
Color: Yellow - so often it's too bright and garish
Animal: Most insects and arachnids seriously creep me out.
Food: Onions - I don't care for the flavor or consistency and they're mixed into so much American cooking.
Scents/smells: Roadkill that's been sitting in the heat for a few days.
Fairy tale: Peter Pan. I don't like that it portrays only two roles for women - either jealous and vindictive (Tink) or damsels in distress (Wendy, Tiger Lily). Why aren't there any lost girls?!?!?!
Princess Tutu character, explain: Drosselmeyer. I don't like how he manipulates the 'player characters' for his own amusement/entertainment
Questions
Have you ever taken ballet lessons? How did you find the experience? I took ballet for about 15 years. I enjoyed the dancing, but I didn't like the competitive atmosphere and feeling like I was being compared to the other students to see who was better.
If you find out that the only way to save the one you love is to disappear into a flash of light, what would you do? Yes. Even though it's selfish of me to make that decision for them, I would rather they were alive (if sad) than to live without them.
If your life were a fairy tale, which would it be (and why?) I think this is the hardest question on here. >_< On good days I'm the elves in The Elves and The Shoemaker - people don't notice me doing my thing, they just notice that my part of the work is done and done well. On bad days I feel like the girl from The Red Shoes - my life took off at a run and is dragging me along with it and I have no idea how to get things back under control.
Picture (optional -- feel free to just describe yourself if you don't have/don't want to post pictures): 5 feet 5 inches tall, of average build with fine/small bones in arms, wrists, hands, and feet. Dark brown wavy hair to the bottom of my shoulder blades, center parted, with chin-length bangs I'm trying to grow out. Dark brown eyes that look black more often than brown. Naturally tan skin, but very light due to not spending enough time outside the past few years.

Anything else? :3 My cut text (Dance me a story) is the title of a book I loved in middle school that had the stories of five or six classic ballets accompanied by beautiful illustrations.
