Personality
How do you perceive yourself? I like to think I'm a nice person. I mean, really that's not for me to decide, so I can't really say, and there are many times when I agonize over how selfish I've been, but...for the most part, I see myself as a nice person. I like to think I'm smart too, as long as you haven't shoved anything math or science related at me. I like to think I'm funny too, and good with writing. But perspective is relative, so...it's just my opinion on these things.
How do you think other people perceive you? It seems other people think I'm nice too, nicer than I perceive myself to be, and it always feels really surprising when people call me on it. Friends have scolded me for being too hard on myself before, and really I think they're right. I guess it's a bad habit at this point. I think people also think I'm weird. Not always in a bad way but...I don't know. I have an interesting way of looking at things. But I guess that's good because people come to me for advice a lot. I'm also too...optimistic. I recently lost a large amount of Christmas presents for other people through a hole in my bag. they were gone when I went to look for them. But what I said to people was that "someone picked up my presents!" which made my friends say "Oh no! Someone stole your presents?" I actually hadn't seen it that way myself. At all. I guess I have a lot of faith in people.
What do you do in your spare time (hobbies, if any?)? Writing is one of my favorite things in the world. I also love to read, and I roleplay. I like anime and manga, and I love traveling and exploring new places. I'm going to school out-of-state now, in an unfamiliar place, and every weekend I go out and get lost, so I can know the place a little better.
Stuff you love: Writing, Japanese culture, Boston, vanilla scented things, snow, making my friends happy, having money
Stuff you dislike: Idiots, irritating people on campus, breaking things (which I tend to do by accident more than I would like to admit...), uninteresting stories, Physics
Are you more...
Idealistic/realistic? Idealistic. But I'm almost too realistic when it comes to money. As far as everything else though, I'm very idealistic and optimistic, but I'm not stupid either, so I guess you could really say I'm both...but idealistic comes to mind first. I'm a dreamer.
Introverted/extroverted? I have shades of both. I really do like people and making friends...but there are things I really hate doing with other people, which tend to make me look introverted when you see me out on the street I guess. I like to shop alone and I like to eat alone and unless it's a couple of people in particular, I really dislike doing those things with others. But I'm not afraid to speak my mind when I do to, even if I have to psyche myself up for it.
Calm/hyper? Calm. I'm very hyper with my friends, but I also think I'm one of the most level-headed people I know.
Mature/immature? Mature, unless I'm with m friends.

What are some (2-4) scenes that are your favorites in the show? Oh man. Um...
1) Fakir's battle from episode 13: All the way through until the end, when he falls in a second time and everyone thinks he's dead. That was really Fakir's shining moment as a knight, and everything that went on during that fight showed just how much he had changed. The most obvious of this was when he broke the Prince's sword, when just five episodes ago he was going to rip apart his heart.
2) Ahiru telling Fakir about being able to write stories: And Fakir consequently having a small meltdown. I might have a little thing for character torment. ♥ But it really was an important development in his character. And best of all, I think it was done just right, because it never really felt random to me.
3) Anything with Charon and Fakir: I love the dynamic between them. We meet Charon during their fight in episode 10, but after he loses that regret to Tutu we see him for how he usually is, and honestly? If I could have wished for more scenes, it would have been more scenes with Fakir and his family. Because he's not the tragic hero, even if his parents are gone. He's always had someone there beside him whether it's Charon or Raetsel or Uzura or even Ahiru or Mythos. ...I think I'm babbling now. XD;;
Who's your favorite major character (i.e. from the regular stamps) and why? Ah...Fakir. I think I actually covered most of my reasons in the last question. XD;; He's a really admirable character, and I like him a lot for that reason.
Who's your favorite minor character (i.e. Malen, Femio, Mr. Penguin) and why? Hermia, hands down. Even though I was voted as someone else and Hermia's not a stampable character, she's always been the Tutu character that reminds me of myself. Infact, she's actually one of the few anime characters that really does that. I mean, I'm not tall like her, and my hair's long, but...she has a really good intuition, and she cares a lot about others, even before herself sometimes, and I admire that. And she tends to blurt out things. XD; Ah~ Now if only I could find my Lysander.
Who's the character you like least (can be major/minor) and why? Anteaterina creeped me out beyond all reason. o_o I still really don't know what it is exactly, but there was something very frightening about her.
Gift Related
Have you been naughty or nice this year? Nice? I'd like to think so...
Did you believe in Santa Claus? Yes, for a long time. Until I was 11 when I heard my mom talking about things I knew Santa had given me. When I called her on it she said "Oh, you know Santa isn't real." Apparently she thought she had told me the previous year, so she felt really bad about it. She's been really careful with my little sister for this reason. :D;;
Would you rather give or receive? (Be honest. XD) Honestly? ...Give. I want to make my friends and family smile. And I spend a lot of time every year picking out or making things for people, and I stress out over whether they're right or not, but I really do like giving better I think. I like receiving though too! Knowing someone cares enough to get me something is always nice. X3;
If you don't mind saying so, what are some of the actual things on your holiday wishlist? I actually hadn't made a real list this year, due to complications with my family. (My parents told me they didn't make lists after age 18 and then I came home from Christmas and they were all "Why didn't we get a list from you? D:" Talk about mixed signals...:D; Ehehe.) Um. I really wanted gloves though. I put a hole in my last pair and I'm going to school in a snowy place. X3; A paid account would have been nice too. I'm an icon whore. +_+
What style of gifts do you like receiving? Things that tell me the gift-giver has been paying attention. Things that are given when I didn't ask for them, and yet they're wonderful because the person knows who I am and what I like. But I really like receiving anything really!
If you could have one thing from the Tutu item list, what would it be and why? Fakir's quill. I really do love writing. ♥
