Gunblades may as well be the best of both worlds...
Name: Stephanie
Nicknames: Steph, Norkia, Voltage, bucue plush/quilava plush
Age: 20
Gender: female
Likes: Animals, especially birds, felines (servals!), and some mythical beasts. Animation. Daydreaming and dreaming in general. The satisfaction of finally completing something very long and/or difficult. For a little Final Fantasy-specific addition, I adore the Chocobos and Moombas, and I'm fond of many of the summons/GFs (Quetzalcoatl!).
Dislikes: Extremists and elitists of any group; condescending bugs me. People who are constantly cruel for the "fun" of it. Bullies. High-pitched whirring noises (dentist drills!). Stereotypes.
Hobbies: Drawing, going to zoos and places with lots of wildlife, daydreaming, watching cartoons and animation of all kinds, collecting anime and Disney/Dreamworks animated movie DVDs, collecting stuffed animals, building model kits of (mostly) mecha... I'm a packrat. ^^;;
Talents: I have some artistic talent.
Strong Points: I'd like to think I'm supportive to others, although I don't feel I have much to offer. I'm observant and full of thought (how deep said thoughts can be can vary). I'm imaginative and I like to think I'm creative.
Weak Points: I'm very quiet and introverted, and I'm not a very good communicator. Sometimes I give up too easily, and I tend to blame myself for a lot of things, whether or not they were really my fault. I'm also a bit naive and take things literally a lot of times. >_> I'm not much one for humor; I'm not really witty, and I tend to return blank glances towards things that slay others with laughter.
Favorite Color: Blue-grey
Number One Goal: Just to live life to its fullest.
Optimistic or Pessimistic: In-between. I used to waver between the two (or rather, I was really cynical with some hope that things would get better), but now I just believe that what will happen, no matter good or bad, will happen.
Hyper or Calm or Normal Energy: It really depends. I'm calm most of the time, though certain things that get me excited can send me flying.
Impulsive or Cautious: I try to be cautious most of the time, but it's not uncommon for me to lose patience and jump right in with little thought.
Outgoing or Shy: Very withdrawn overall, and shy when I have to talk to others (and I never talk unless I have to).
Mature or Immature?: A little bit of both. If I'm surrounded by, say, fifteen year-olds acting like twelve year-olds when it comes to 'immature' humor, I want to tear my hair out, but I have my moments where I can be childish without realizing it.
Leader or Follower?: I'm a loner, but if I had to choose? Follower, please. I don't feel capable of leadership.
Assume the following each have "and why" at the end.
Who is your favorite Final Fantasy VIII character? Tough question, since I like a lot of them; I'll narrow it down to Ellone, though. I just liked how she accepted the way things were after realizing that she didn't have to change the past to be truly happy.
Who is your least favorite Final Fantasy VIII character? None, because they all have their own attributes that make them intriguing in some way.
You find 1 million dollars on the street. Would you keep it or turn it in? Turn it in; I didn't do anything to earn it, and I'd rather it have a chance to go back to the original owner.
What are the 3 top characteristics you look for in a friend? Understanding, encouragment (because my self-esteem is fragile), and dedication to their own interests. I don't have any close friends as is, but I hate feeling like I tie down people out of my best interests and would rather them to be off doing their own thing. If that makes sense. >_>;
What is your fighting style? Assuming this is based on an in-game 'what-if', and if I can't just mow everything down in a giant robot, I'm rather fond of projectile weapons such as guns and crossbows. Although in the end, I'd probably be better suited to summoning GFs. I like the beasties. :D
