Does the gender of your BFF matter?: No, not at all!
If this is a restamp, please indicate who you were stamped with and why you are reapplying.:
You say up, I say down.
Define friendship in your own words.: It's a bond between two people.
Are you the type of person to have many friends who aren't quite as close, or very few but very close friends?: Few but very close friends.
As an extention of the previous question, do you make friends easily?: I can talk to people relatively easily, but friends... less so. I think it's my personality. Someone once told me that I'm very likeable and attractive - to the 'right sort of people'.
Tell us about some of your interests and beliefs. Is it important for you to have these in common with your friends?: I'm a very artistic-ish person - I like reading, roleplaying, writing, calligraphy, etc. In terms of interests, there's video games, solving puzzles... I don't need to have everything in common with my friends, because that would be boring, but I need a common ground. I used to feel very out of place in class because it was evident that most of my classmates were very, very sporty people who tended to regard books as something to study; I kind of viewed things the other way around. Beliefs wise - don't cross my pet peeves and respect the fact that my religion is not yours, and I'll be OK. My best friend's Christian, I'm not, and I think every so often I tell her how grateful I am that she doesn't try to convert me; she just asks my opinions. As a matter of fact, our opinions tend to converge... just for different reasons.
Describe the relationship you have with your current best friend.: Um... we've known each other since '02. She dresses up more than I do, but she shares a lot of my interests and we're more than willing to discuss ideas and silly notions. When we find something the other likes, we're liable to drop the person a message on MSN with a link and say "I BET YOU'LL LIKE THIS." Or if we're shopping. I trust her opinions, and she trusts mine. She's more level-headed and less temperamental than I am, so she gets me to calm down a fair bit when I'm upset; on the other hand, I've verbally ripped apart several people because I thought they were bullying her. She tends to take it more quietly than I would. We tend to go to each other for opinions (on everything) and when we need to complain. Oh, and I tease her a lot about being accident-prone, and she teases me a lot about being the resident White Mage.
And I ain't too proud to say...
Name five of your positive traits.: Intelligent, creative, loyal, compassionate, determined
Name five of your negative traits.: Sarcastic, over-emotional, temperamental, procrastinator, stubborn
Which of these traits, if any, do you like to have in common with your friends and which do you not?: Intelligence, compassion and loyalty. The ability to snark at everything, too. Actually, I'm OK with all of these traits in my friends.
Is rivalry acceptable in a friendship for you?: Well, yes, if it's friendly rivalry. I've often played a game with my friends and gone "Oh, no, you broke my high score! Wait 'til I beat yours!" There are people I don't mind losing to. I'm somewhat competitive, but not that much.
In your group of friends, what role (e.g. the leader, the prankster, the sweet one, etc.) do you tend to play?: Cranky healer? I mother people around. Apparently.
You've been a friend to me.
A great and terrible war has been waging for years, slowly taking towns one by one. Many have fleed, taking to lives of crime, revolution, opportunity... Others have picked sides, choosing to fight for their beliefs. The rest remain in their village, waiting to protect their homes with everything they've got. In the grand scheme of things, where do you see you and your friend?: We'd try to persuade the people left in the village to flee while they still can, taking as much as they can with them. We'd be finding ways for them to escape and survive the attack. I highly doubt many of them will want to leave, but we could, for example, at least get the children safely out.
It seems one of the armies have captured you for reasons they neglect to enlighten you with. You do happen to overhear them saying they're going to feed you and your friend to the antlion, which means - you guessed it! - escape sequence time. Tell us how you and your friend escape death's clutches. Be creative!: Let's see. The lovely thing about these armies is that they always have incompetent flunkies guarding the rather ill-built cells. I bet one of them will be snoozing soundly, with the keys hanging in an obvious position off his belt. My friend will probably pick the lock or find a way of getting the keys off said flunky, open the door, and we'll creep down the corridor and out just in time to be spotted by the somewhat more competent guards (who are higher up the flunky ladder, you see.) There will then be a chase sequence, in which we take a wrong turn because we're not familiar with the layout and end up in the antlion pit. Flunkies being flunkies, they'll assume that this means that we are doomed and leave. In the meantime, we'll kick antlion ass and get out of there dusty, scratched up, but still alive and kicking.
Bummer. Despite your efforts, the leader of said army has come and put a complete halt to your shenanigans. However, they're actually impressed with your skill and want to enlist you as high-ranking generals in their army. Your friend is worried that if you and them decline, you'll be killed on the spot; they seem more inclined towards accepting the deal. On the other hand, this army did just try to kill you because you happened to be standing nearby. What do you decide?: Accept, and then work against them subtly from the inside. Can't do anything when dead.
Well, whatever you decided is pretty much a moot point now. For some reason, the leader of that army decided they wanted your friend, not you. Through some charm and quite possibly some mind tricks, they turn your friend against you. What are you going to do now?: Oh. Oh-oh. I'd escape, being reluctant to hurt my friend and all.
And what about your friend? Is this some clever ruse to get on the inside? Are they possessed? Are they truly out to get on the "winning" side? Give us your thoughts on what might make your friend pull something like this.: Well, my friend is likely to be intelligent and loyal, so I'd figure it was either coercion via magic, or him/her fooling them to get on the inside and work against them while I hit hard from the outside.
After some drama and many hardships, you and your friend are eventually reunited just in time for the final boss fight. How does the reunion go? Is it bittersweet, pure joy, angry-- something else entirely?: That depends. If it was coercion via magic, I'd go "...quit apologizing and help me kick ass first, all right?"; if it was my friend working on the inside, it'd be more of a "took you long enough, glad you're fine!" reunion. Either way. I'd be very happy to see them safe and sound, because I'd have doubts that they'd willingly betray me all along.
Finally, the credits are rolling and giving some insight on the whereabouts of everyone after saving the world. Where are you and your friend?: Kicking back and relaxing, maybe backpacking around the world for fun and stopping by towns along the way. (Money wouldn't be so much of a problem - c'mon, if we saved the world, I bet inns will love to have us there so they can tell people that the saviours of the world stayed here.)
A godsend to me.
