Name/Nickname: Loki
Age: 23
Gender: Female (transgender; i.e. I identify more with male traits than female, but I don't take hormones or anything.)
Likes: my girlfriend, parties where you can dress however you want and don't get criticized for being gay, walks on cold but sunny autumn afternoons, swimming, driving, singing, untouched nature, shopping, makeup, theatre, dreams, the supernatural, the energy you feel when you go into an old abandoned house and you think "God, someone used to live here...", theme parks & fun fairs, chocolate, sweet coffee, LUSH products, history, travelling, different sorts of fashion & culture, unconditional love, friends who actually hold together and don't judge you or bitch about you whenever they're given the chance, the feeling of being at home.
Dislikes: politics, politicians, heirarchies between various groups of people, racism, backstabbing, prejudices, intolerance, people who are so sure of themselves that it makes them stuck up and impossible to talk to, the passing of time, the capitalistic order of the world, tidying up
Hobbies/Talents: painting, drawing, photography, singing, writing, makeup artistry, acting/roleplay
Fears: any of the newest media-driven hypes (terrorism, swine flu, etc.), being alone, having an accident, me or one of my beloved people getting incurably ill, not ever achieving my dreams, having to "grow up"; that is, being forced to become someone without individuality
Goal/Dream(s): to become a famous fashion photographer and be rich enough to life comfortably with my girlfriend, travel, support my parents in their old age and donate to charities.

:: This or That
Optimistic or Pessimistic: Pessimist trying to be an optimist when it affects other people
Outgoing or Shy: Painfully shy but covering it up for the sake of having a good time
Mature or Immature: Depends on the situation ... sometimes maturity is overrated, and the more mature person is the one who's not afraid to do immature things!
Leader or Follower: I tend to lead because I don't trust other people to do things right, but I really do wish someone else would take control when I can't handle things.
Impulsive or Cautious: Too much of both :(
:: Related Questions
Who is your favorite character and why? That's a difficult one. I like Caius, but I hardly know anything about him, he's a bit of a blank page to be done something with. I don't think I'd like Edward if I knew him, but I like him as a character because he seems too disagreeable to be the main love interest! I like Jacob as a character, but then if I consider him as a person, the way he's allowing his group of friends to change his personality would really, really bug me. And I like Bella because she's quite an unusual heroine - the Anti-Mary-Sue who's crap at everything. I don't know. I'll pick Carlisle because he reminds me of Marius de Romanus. :)
Would you rather be a Vampire, a Werewolf or Human? Why? A vampire, naturally! I generally don't like werewolves as much - their gift is a bit messy for me. And "vampires are, by dint of being vampires, cool." - Bill Nighy.
Put yourself in Bella's place. If you had the chance of changing into a Vampire or remaining Human what would you do? Well, I'd actually written this to the above question, but I'll put it down here as it fits quite well. Nevermind Bella's position; if I had a chance to become a vampire it would give me a way of not having to bother with the trudging on of everyday life, that pressure from governments and the order of society to get a job and get on with it, like everybody else. That, apart from becoming extremely rich, seems the only way to be free. Pity it's only fictional.
What do your friends and family mean to you? I'm protective of my family, though I don't suppose they know that. I love my mum, but she's complicated. I'm never sure if my dad believes I love him. My girlfriend means the world to me <3 (This really sounds like I'm rooting for Bella lol But I don't think all the answers do, so...)
