Hakuouki Matchmaker Theme
Name: Yin
Would you like to be matched with a male, a female, or do you even care?: I'd probably prefer a male, but since this is fictional and for fun if you happen to think a female character is a better fit overall please don't hesitate to vote them! :)
Who were you originally stamped as for this game? If they fit into your gender preference would you mind having them as a match? I was originally stamped as Chizuru...and it would probably be a good idea to NOT include her for this theme only because I know myself and given how introverted I am in regards to relationships, I imagine giving me any character remotely similar to myself might not be the best match option. XD
Describe your personality: I try to see the good in everyone and live by the policy of "forgive and forget," I hardly ever get jealous of other people, I’m understanding, and I try to avoid conflict if at all possible. I’m incredibly shy and withdrawn around other people, and I don’t really have a lot of confidence in my own abilities. I tend to worry about things that I have no control over, and I can be a bit immature and childish at times. I’d probably much rather run away from problems than simply deal with them head-on, and I can be really naïve (my family and friends will often tell me that I don’t act with common sense). But at the same time, I can ALSO be insanely stubborn and determined when I feel very strongly about something so it really just depends on the situation at hand. I can ramble on and on when it comes to topics that catch my interest too. I tend to probably be way more polite than is necessary in most social situations as well, for some reason.
I recently took this test...and I pretty much was tied with Lawful Good and Neutral Good (seriously...I took the test four times just to be sure, and literally had only about a point of difference between both options in my individual results depending on how I answered one or two questions XD). I could see both options fitting for me within reason at times and I've actually gotten both results before on similar online tests in the past as well, so I shall mention them here in case they could be helpful for stamping purposes! :D Thank you very much to cassandrablue for the test link! ♥ Horoscope-wise, I'm a Libra (some personality traits that are associated with that Zodiac Sign DO work rather well for me at times, though there are also quite a few that don't...I just thought I'd mention it here in case someone felt it would be helpful for voting purposes). According to another personality test online...I fit into The Generous Thinker personality type, which is fairly accurate from how The Generous Thinker is described. I also apparently fall into the ISFP personality type. I don't really have too much to say on that given how detailed the link is, and for the most part...I do feel like the ISFP personality type is fairly accurate too. :)
I took the Enneagram Personality Test, and I got Type 6: The Loyalist...which seems fairly accurate for the most part. In brief, the Type 6 is described as The Committed, Security-Oriented Type: Engaging, Responsible, Anxious, and Suspicious. Sixes are reliable, hard-working, responsible, and trustworthy. Excellent "troubleshooters," they foresee problems and foster cooperation, but can also become defensive, evasive, and anxious-running on stress while complaining about it. They can be cautious and indecisive, but also reactive, defiant and rebellious. They typically have problems with self-doubt and suspicion. At their Best: internally stable and self-reliant, courageously championing themselves and others. They have a basic fear of being without support and guidance, and their basic desire is to have security and support. The key motivations for a Type 6 are that they want to have security, to feel supported by others, to have certitude and reassurance, to test the attitudes of others toward them, to fight against anxiety and insecurity. ...And the link itself does an even more detailed/lengthier description of that personality type if you need it! I think it fits rather well, all things considered.
...And I followed someone's example and also took this test. It was fairly accurate, I thought! So feel free to read this one too if you still need more personality reference:
You are shy and a little reclusive. Big crowds and new social situations make you feel uncomfortable and nervous. You prefer to stick with your close friends and family. You have a large personal space and you hate to feel crowded or overwhelmed. If you have been dragged out to a party, or have had a stressful day at work, you need to retreat to your own private place for a while afterwards to recharge.
You are very sensitive, and easily hurt. You tend to worry about what other people are thinking about you. Often, the offhand comments that people make hurt your feelings. You tend to hide your feelings from people whom you are not comfortable with, like strangers, acquaintances or coworkers. You may brush things off with a joke or hide your pain behind a toss of the head. You try not to overreact to things, and you avoid conflict, especially with strangers. However, if you are pushed too far, you can defend yourself with a vengeance.
With your loved ones you are quite different. You trust them with your feelings and with them you tend to be more open and sincere. You are loyal and clannish, and while you hide yourself from strangers and acquaintances, you come out of hiding when your close friends and family are around. Or at least, you do for a while, before you need to retreat back into your private place to re-charge.
Positive Traits: Caring, observant, creative, playful, polite, and understanding.
Negative Traits: Shy, anxious, daydreamer (from the stance that I sometimes have to be reminded to keep myself grounded when I let my mind wander), naïve, lazy, and indecisive.
Hobbies and interests: I love to read (fantasy is my favorite genre, though any well-written book from other fiction genres or non-fiction is also welcome! ♥), and I enjoy writing. I love creative writing and have been trying to get more into that again after a pretty long bout of writer's block...and I also like to write reviews (haha, one of my biggest career goals is actually to be a journalist who specializes in electronic entertainment...still is, actually ♥) or just writing down my thoughts on things randomly too. I like interacting with and taking care of animals too. Watching TV/movies, hanging out with friends or family, and playing video games (RPGs and fighting games especially!) are also some of my favorite hobbies too.
Dislikes: Character/couple bashing (even if I disagree with someone's point of view, I like remaining open minded and respectful of their opinions), unnecessary fights, and people who are intentionally cruel to others.
What are some traits that peek your interest in a match? (Please stick to personality traits.): Well, I tend to like a lot of different traits and many of my crushes in the past have been on very different people in terms of their personalities...so this is kind of a hard question to answer. 0_0; Being able to be kind at times when they feel it is necessary is probably something I would love to see in a partner--even if they come off as cold or uncaring at certain situations, if they show the capacity to be understanding of when someone might need a nice gesture or a comforting word...well, I think that would help to get me to warm up to them more. I wouldn't even consider dating a total jerk, after all. I admire courage in people and appreciate the many differing forms that particular trait can come in; if someone has determination to see their goals reached; if they are capable of being loyal to both myself and others; and if they are able to ultimately be honest with at least themselves when it comes to their feelings or desires (and hopefully to others as well later on).
Now name some traits that are turn-offs to you!: Cruelty. Making fun of someone, or just being really mean and/or underhanded in general is really not going to win you any brownie points in my book.
How important is someone's looks to you?: I think that physical attraction is important in a relationship (and I'd be lying if I said that appearance didn't really matter all that much to me when I'm first meeting someone), but it isn't what a relationship should be based on alone. Some really great-looking people can be real jerks, after all. I would hope that, once I was able to really connect with someone on a deeper, emotional level...their physical appearance wouldn't be as big of an issue to me anymore.
Do you want your match to be more...
Introverted or extroverted? More extroverted. As I've stated before, I'm pretty shy when it comes to most things and I'm really softspoken because of that. Having someone who is more outspoken than me would probably be a blessing as they could hopefully maybe start up conversations and such. :D
Optimistic, pessimistic, idealistic, or realistic? A realist with some optmistic leanings? I can't really imagine myself with someone who was too pessimistic just because I don't tend to think that way and I imagine we both might get frustrated with one another after awhile, but they don't have to be insanely optimistic either.
A leader or a follower? ...I'm not really sure I have much of a preference, truthfully. As long as they're someone who is able to make decisions for themselves and stand by them when they feel they need to, I wouldn't really care if they were in a leadership position all the time or not.
Cynical or trusting? ...Slightly more cynical than me maybe, but probably more trusting overall. I would imagine being in a relationship with someone who was just constantly cynical about everything you do (like questioning where you're going every ten minutes or something) would get really old quick.
Independent or dependent? More independent. I'm working on it myself, but I can pretty dependent sometimes still...so I think being in a relationship with someone who was independent could only probably benefit me in the end and help there to be a balance between the two of us.
Cool or dorky? Honestly? I never really thought of it before. XD Considering that I'm not exactly the coolest person in the world (dorky ftw! ♥), I don't think I can say I have a preference either way. :D
Careful or carefree? I wouldn't want my partner to be carefree to the point where they leap into EVERY situation without thinking things through at least slightly, but I wouldn't want them to be extremely cautious when it comes to some matters either (since being too cautious could mean that they wouldn't do anything). I guess I'd probably want my partner to be someone who is "somewhat" more carefree than cautious though, simply because I'm more on the cautious side of things myself and we might not end up really going anywhere or doing much if both of us were that way. Sorry if that doesn't make all that much sense!
High, medium, or low energy? Hmm...I don't really have much of a preference either way on this one either. :)
Confident or modest? Confident, but with a little modesty at times. I'm pretty modest myself and don't really have the best self-esteem, so I think it would be a good balance in a way if my partner was someone who was fairly confident in their abilities...I just would probably prefer them to not be so cocky about it that they put others down or wouldn't listen to advice.
Describe your ideal date: Nothing really too fancy. Maybe we'd have a nice meal somewhere and do something fun, followed by a peaceful walk and a quiet conversation between just the two of us.
So, who takes the first step? Your significant other or you?: They would probably have to make the first move. I'm a really shy person when it comes to most social situations, especially if I'm actually fond of someone (I've even avoided crushes in the past because I was afraid of embarrassing myself in front of them). They'd also have to be a bit more clear in their intentions, because otherwise I'd probably just misinterept their actions as them just being nice and/or friendly instead of them trying to say that they liked me in that way. XD
How hurt would you be if your match had to cancel a date because of work or school or some other important engagement?: Well, I'd be disappointed...but those things happen and it's no use getting too upset over. I'd try to be understanding about the whole thing, and we'll see if we can't reschedule for later then! :)
What is the most important part of a relationship?: Understanding is probably one of the most important aspects of a relationship to me. How can you even be in a relationship with someone if you can't see or understand where it is they're coming from? I wouldn't think a relationship would last long if you were constantly trying to figure out your partner's reasonings or felt you couldn't necessarily trust them because you aren't sure of their intentions or goals. I think being sincere in a relationship is also important. With both people being open about their feelings, there isn’t much room for doubt. And even if you don’t share the same viewpoints, so long as you feel that you can trust the actions of the other there’s always room for the relationship to grow and evolve.
It’s your significant other's birthday. What do you do to celebrate? What sort of present do you give? I think it would probably depend on them. I'd try to figure out a gift that would match their own personal tastes or something that I think they'd really cherish if they got. I imagine we'd celebrate the day in any way they'd really want to since it would be their special day, after all. I might bake a cake or buy one too, but only if they have a sweet tooth and would like that sort of thing.
How much time for yourself do you need? Would you want to be with that person as often as possible or do you need your space? I don't need that much time to myself...but I would need some private time/breathing room every once in awhile for my own thoughts. Otherwise, they might just start annoying me and that wouldn't be good. :)
Are there any characters you absolutely do not want to be matched with? (Try to limit the amount of characters you add here to two!) Whoever you feel is the best fit is fine by me! :D
Anything else you'd like to add? I'm actually kind of amazed that I love this game as much as I do...but the characters and story are really quite memorable and well-written! :) Thank you in advance for taking the time to vote on me! ♥
