L likes his pudding...
Name: Melanie/Mella
Age: 17
Height: 5'4"
Personality: Think of me as that quiet, shy girl in your math class that knows the answer to every question. She sits there as if bored of the material yet she loves every minute of doing those long complicated problems and when she finishes them, she squeals with pleasure. Although no one notices her and no one talks to her, she has a few very close friends, friends who know her better than she knows herself and friends who she will sacrifice her very soul for. The ones that don’t know her ignore her and think she’s nothing special. The ones that do know her think of her as the “smart one” in the group though she knows her intelligence doesn’t move beyond her love for math. But then again, this girl also has a knack for writing - creating fun-filled fantasies where her dreams become reality. The worlds she keeps inside her mind are the ones she wants to live within and the only place where she can truly be herself. The girl who I speak of is trapped within her spinning imagination, but she wouldn’t feel safe anywhere else.
Strengths: I’m incredibly intelligent - but only in math-related fields. I have nowhere near the mind power of Light or L. On a happier note, I’m the most optimistic person you’ll ever meet; I believe everyone in the world has at least some god in them - whether they show it or not is their choice. I also tend to be extremely generous; I help out even the meanest of people when they need it.
Weaknesses: I’m incredibly shy. I despise starting up conversations. When a person asks me something, I will respond readily and easily, but starting something takes concentration and a long time to prepare for. I’m also incredibly stubborn with some things and easily led on others. Like favorite characters - they will stay forever in my mind; no one can change them. But say, whether a character is evil or not...that fact may change. I sit on the fence too much. One other thing is my obsessions. I get obsessions easily and tend to go after them for an extremely long time, talking about them constantly. When you get to my favorite character, you’ll see what I mean.
Bad Habits: I talk extremely loudly (when I do talk). I have a tendency to bite my nails. And I’ve been known to eat too much junk food for my own good. No, I’m not trying to say that so I’ll look like L. One of the reasons I like him a lot is BECAUSE of that aspect. I have to have a bowl of ice cream everyday - and candy in my house is gone within a few days as are the cookies mum bakes. But Mella is skinny as a rake...but it will catch up to me. And when it does, ooooh.... I won’t think about that.
Likes: Anime, Manga, Harry Potter, Twilight, Books, Obsessions.
Dislikes: Spiders, Rude people, Ignorance, Bragging Know-It-Alls, the Dark.
Hobbies: Writing, Reading, Internet, Computer Stuff, Fangirlling.
Talents: I’m awesome at anything math-related or puzzle-related. Word searches...I’m the best at them, seriously. My Physics class last year - we had a word search. Everyone found around 10 words or so...Mella...she found 23. :D I’m good.
Interests: Isn’t that the same as Hobbies, Likes, and Talents?
Favourite character: Light Yagami. Or as I told my friend who got me into Death Note, “Liiiiiighto!” She shook me fiercely and asked in a loud voice, “What is wrong with you!?” I replied, “Nothing! I just like Light. And no, that does NOT mean I support Kira. I like Light, not Kira; there’s a difference. I just love Light before he went all insane on us.” The reasons...well, I just adore his brilliance. It astounds me and I will never get over how amazed I was after I first watched the Live Action Movies - after the busjacking...and then after the Shiori incident. And now that I’m watching the anime, I’m even more enthralled. Too much, I dare say. But Light is now an obsession.
Least favourite character: Misa. *sweatdrops* Yes, I know, I’m acting like a Light fangirl and even better, I hate Misa. But two things about that fact are wrong: 1. I’m not a Light fangirl. I’m nowhere near the level of being that would be needed to become Light’s fangirl. Because he deserves much better fangirls than I. 2. I don’t hate Misa. I just dislike her. And I haven’t yet met her in the anime - I might actually learn to like her.
Would you use the Death Note?: Only if the situation was horrid enough. Before I started Death Note, my friend gave me a situation...where the ONLY way I could stop a criminal from killing someone was to use the Death Note. Thus, I had to use it. I can’t just NOT help someone who needs me. She also said that if I were to charge in and try to save the girl, most likely, we’d both die. Thus, there would be no point. And besides, the man might go off and kill MORE people. How would I feel about that?
Now, this is only in that situation. I would NOT do what Kira did with the Death Note - killing criminals. I despise the death penalty so why should I want to kill people like that? If I was really saving someone, then I would use it. But using it on people just to kill them. Yes, they’ve done wrong, but you can’t save anyone by killing that person after the deed is done!!
Who would you use it on, and why?: Gah, I just explained this above. Just look above please. Thank you.
Do you support Kira?: No. And anyone who says I should because Light is my favorite character needs to see that it IS possible for someone to like Light and NOT support Kira. I explained above about why I don’t support Kira. And I’m too optimistic a person to believe that those criminals should die like that. I believe in them spending their whole lives in jail - thinking about what they’ve done - knowing they did that to themselves. Killing them won’t solve anything. Kill to save others - not for the joy of killing.
Anything else you'd like to add?: I’m sorry for my long rants and exceptionally long talks of Light. I have a tendency to do that often. Please forgive me. Oh, and also, I’m only on episode 5 of the anime; I’ve watched the Live Action Movies though and know most of the ending anyway from spoilers from my friend. She told me...everything. XD
Pictures!: No pictures. I hate my pictures. How about a description? I have thick shoulder-length dark brown hair with short side bangs. My eyes are dark brown as well set under thick eyebrows. I usually wear contacts or glasses. My lips are full and almost always smiling. I’m extremely skinny but my hips are huge. ((I have to get pant sizes huge and then mum takes the waist in like 2 inches.)) I’m short for my age but I like being short. And I guess that’s it. :)
My five votes!: ((Only three I could vote on...))
