Name: Beth
Nickname: Chikane, Arashi, Wynter, Hatsumi, Starry, Kaiserin.
Age: 15
Describe your personality: I'm sorta hard to get to know, and I can come across as intimidating. I have this automatic distrust of new people in my life, merely because I'm worried they might have intentions that would not be good for me. Once you've proved yourself to me, which is pretty easy to do just by how you talk...it's hard to explain, I'm really quite the go-to person. A lot of people know they can tell me anything because I never break trust. I also tend to stick up for my friends, but I make a point of hearing both sides of the arguement before I blindly rush in or anything. I' m also quiet and sort-of hard to hold a conversation with.

Likes: I love board games and card games - particularly chess, checkers, and solitarie. I like anime with a storyline and characters that I can easily relate to. Winter is my favorite season because, to me, it represents the end of all things, only to be reborn again (the snow is usually fully melted before spring officially starts, so I'll leave spring out of my phrase). I'm a really organized person and love knowing where every little thing is. It drives me crazy if one paper is out-of-order. My academic interests border on history, phychology, philosophy (specfically metaphysics), and chemistry. Hm, and I sing to make me feel better, so I suppose I'll put that here.
Dislikes: People that take a serious matter and treat it as a joke bugs me to no end. I dislike bossy people who are only interested in gaining followers, and violent gang actions that go on daily at my school. They're going to give us less time in the hallways because of the overly large number of fights. I don't really like it when people just list a bunch of stuff in surveys as an answer without any sorting of any kind, because it makes it rather hard to read. Discrimination (race, sexuality, gender) is another injustice there's way too much of at my school, and I hate it. No one can ever tell a racial slur from a joke these days. Oh, and anyone who even thinks to mess with my friends will get a major piece of my mind...
Hobbies: I sing soprano in the choir for my church; I think I'm not that great, but it's okay because we're just supposed to have fun. I play tennis every chance I get. Card and board games are easy for me to play almost every day because even the teachers at school let us play around if we finish our work early enough. I'm also a bit of horseback rider, though I've had to quit because of some problem with my back. I write stuff once in a while. Eh... I don't do much of anything anymore.
Strengths: I have a photographic memory, and barely need to study for school. I also know what learning styles work for me and which don't, so that cuts my study time even more. I'm very empathic and pick up on a lot of things most other people overlook when they talk to someone. If I'm really interested in something, I can hold a debate that'll challenge the leaders of the debate club at my school. Um... I hate this section; it feels egotistical to type all this. e.e
Weaknesses: I have low self-esteem so I can sometimes go into depression for a good bit of time, just because what people think matters a lot to me. I don't have all that great a health system, so I catch colds, flu, anything really easily, and once I get it, it drags with me for months. While I do work really well, I also put it off really well. Like, I'll wait until the day before it's due to write a huge paper. I don't know why I do that, it just happens...

Follower or leader?: I can be either pretty well. If there's a person who knows a lot more than me in charge, I'll gladly follow orders from them and such. However, I tend to prefer being leader because students goof off when telling people what to do, and I want things done.
Independent or dependent?: Independent.
Would you prefer to work alone, or with a group?: I like to work alone better. With a group, you have to keep up with them, and that doesn't work if they move too fast or too slow. I just get bored waiting for everyone to catch up, agree, and stuff.

Pick a quote/song lyric that suits your personality and explain why.
"Sayonara to sasayaku minikuki sekai ni // I whisper "Farewell" to this ugly world
Akaku akai sono hane de subete wo kazatte // And adorn everything with wings of a brilliant red...

Yogosareru hodo itoshiku omoeru // The more they are soiled, the lovelier they seem;
Kono chikyuu de iki wo shiteru mono yo // Those that breathe on this earth.
Nikundeiru hodo dakishimetaku naru // The more I hate them, the more I want to embrace them.
Kagami no mae betsu no jibun jitto mitsumeteru // In front of the mirror, I am staring at my other self.

Soshite hito wa yowasa kakusu tame ni // Then, to hide their frailty,
Yasashii dareka wo kidzuzuketa // They hurt those that are kind.
Sayonara to sasayaku minikuki sekai ni // I whisper "Farewell" to this ugly world"

The world is such a horrible corrupt place, both morally and literally. I often just want to get away from it, and fly away to a better place. We're only going to become a better people if we continue fighting for what we believe in, hence the wings being crimson red. The more people are different, the better they are, and the more I disagree with their ideals, the more I want to help them see how wrong what they do is. I have a side that acts like the people there, and is just as wrong. In order to hide my weakness of being like them, I push away everyone.

...I generally just mean the people at my school when I use 'world', by the way.

What would you do if:
Someone yells at you without a reason?: Ignore them. They were either looking for attention, which I will not give, or just mistook me for someone else. Hey, it always works when it happens at school...
Your best friend confides a secret in you that is self-threatening to them?: It depends on the individual... I think I'd generally try to explain to them why they should stop, and suggest them getting help. I'd keep bugging them until it worked, I suppose. Or until I could tell they were at a low point and just tell their parent? That'd be the last resort though.
If you were stranded on an island, what three things would you bring and why?: Three really, really thick books. It wouldn't make sense to bring a cell phone or computer because those wouldn't get any power out there. However, I could get food from around the island...and firewood. Not only would the paper from the books work well for starting a fire, but it could help pass time. This is assuming that someone from a plane or whatever will come by and see the fire though, and with it only taking...oh, five? sheets of paper per fire, and assuming there were enough food, I'd at least live for a good while.

Post one clear picture of yourself.



Eh, I hate my pictures. I always look mad or blank because it's a pain to use the digital camera on myself. D:
