What sort of profession in the wizarding world would you choose and why?

Perhaps this is well-used or overdone, but I can see myself as an Auror. There isn't a comparable job in the current world for it (I have bad stigma's against police and military so it's not conceivable, sad to say) but I know I'd enjoy it. When I was younger, I was often in the streets and learnt how to get around. Which meant I learnt how to fight, because if you're a 10 year old girl, you have to stand up for yourself against your bullies. So I got smart real quick about that. I can just as easily talk strategies as I can defend myself. Just as well, Auror's aren't just brawn - they're intelligent. I have always scored high on my tests even if my GPA doesn't accurately reflect it. I consider it noble and stimulating - you get to exercise both your mind and your body. I was actually accepted into several universities this last Spring (MIT, Columbia, Washington University, Imperial College London all stand out) so that definitely shows something. But I learnt two martial arts, too, and I was always running during the school year, too. In the end, I chose not to attend any because of finances, but I consider myself one of those "studious athletic" types. In addition, I'd feel like I was doing something important everyday to improve the world, which is important to me.

You have to venture deep into the Forbidden Forest one night. Pick one Harry Potter character other than Hagrid and one object (muggle or magical), besides your wand, that you'd want with you.

Dumbledore. I thought Hermoine would be a good choice as well, but if we're going for brave, intelligent and strong - we might as well go all the way so why not one of the biggest, baddest wizards in the books? I'd feel much more comfortable with Dumbledore around and I think he'd also open up a lot to talk about - I'd probably enjoy myself grilling him on any question I could think of, both appropriate and inappropriate. Additionally, I see him as quirky as well as humorous, so he's somebody I could easily get along with. He's brave and strong, as well - which is good because I definitely don't want to be burdened and certainly hope that I wouldn't be a burden! An Auror hopeful would surely know a few good tricks, right? So I think it'd be good to have him around in that I can hold my own but there is somebody who can support me right at my side if necessary. The fact that he makes good company is the added bonus. (Plus if we did get in trouble wouldn't it be the coolest thing to fight alongside Dumbledore?! That'd be amazing and so much fun. I'd probably secretly hope that we did get in trouble just so I could be amazed or try and impress him/learn new moves.)

As for the object: Cloak of Invisibility. I'd feel safer knowing that I had that advantage against anything in the Forbidden Forest that we're snooping around with. I wouldn't trust myself with a broom because I get panicked easily and might crash and make it worse. The invisibility means you have stealth to attack as well as to creep past if you need to, depending on what we're in there for. My adventurous streak would definitely get a hold of me in such a place, I'd probably go wandering about, poking my nose where it doesn't belong. Which would definitely get me in trouble, so I need to be invisible so I can do my snooping in peace.

If you had the opportunity to live forever, but your family and friends did not, what would you choose? And if you did choose to live forever, what would you do with eternity?

Normally, I would say absolutely not as the concept of immortality is frightening but I actually have to say, yes. I would choose to live forever. I love my family and friends and I don't think, personally, that I would ever become callous towards losing them since I don't gain them in an abundance. I'd still continue to love with all of my heart the people I gain and lose throughout the years. It's important to build you up from each one - to remember them to keep struggling, that if you weren't there, you'd never have met them, you know? I just think of it as if each month I have lived now were ten years and I realize that, hey. That wouldn't be so awful. When you take things slowly, in those small dosages I can see retaining your humanity whilst reaping the benefits of getting to live forever. But the way I see it: if I can help by offering my knowledge and helping others, why shouldn't I? I often worry about what'll happen when people like me are gone and I don't want to entertain the thought of it going down such a spiral. So why not be there to influence people just a bit more? To take all of the pain and horrors that you may see living for eternity and turning it into something important? I suppose I see it a lot like Doctor Who - I see it as a constant adventure and struggle to maintain something good in the world constantly, like an epic battle. It's a frightening concept, still, to imagine all of that pain, but I think I would be capable of accomplishing something good from it instead of something awful. Just to take in all that you've ever seen and go out day-to-day and try to show people that the world isn't so bad. That you deserve to be saved. To just prove to them that humanity is worth something after all the bad we do, that we're still important. In a way, I think I feel it'd be my duty. It'd be the right, responsible thing to do - to improve the world and it's people, especially if I'm living forever. To save a life; change a destiny; make dreams reality. You just... have to. It's right, important. Like, if you were to deny the chance and then later you see the world crashing down all around you, and you could've done something by saying yes? That's my fault. I need to take responsibility for that. So I'd say yes to eternity because it's a chance you've got to take. It's like a dare, you can't deny one of those.

If you could travel back in time to one point, when and where would you go? Why?

In the context of my life, I have to say I'd go back to July, 2008. Wherein I would convince myself promptly to not stay in Hawaii any longer. Things simply became too stressful at that time, it would've been infinitely healthier for me to have left and returned to Vienna or London for schooling. I would've been happier, because I'd be around family and friends instead of in a helpless situation. It sounds selfish, but since I was and probably always would've been incapable of changing what happened, it would be better off to eliminate the burden that I caused by being there too - since despite my working part-time, it wasn't as though OI had a significant impact in the payments for rent, you know?

Historically, however, I would choose to go back to the era of WWII. A great-grandmother of mine was a Soviet pilot and I always thought I grew up with that same ferocity and bravery that she encompassed for the family. I would go back to that time to help: probably to prevent it from happening. It was all a matter of bad decisions (such as both the Italian and German governments going, "Hey, yeah, you can rule our country... BUT ONLY FOR A YEAR!" Which, really, guys? REALLY? You think you can put a timecap on that? What is wrong with you?) so I think if you prevent one decision from happening, the rest would fall into place. Although, of course, WWII is a big event. It changed a lot for history, so it might just be more advisable for me to do littler deeds like getting more families out of Germany safely. Or fighting in the war itself... of course, as a Soviet pilot with my great-grandmother. Otherwise there wouldn't be much fun in it unless I could pull of a Jeanne d'Arc for France.

(Truthfully, I would be much more likely to go for the historical time-warp because... whilst family trouble was difficult, it wasn't unbearable. And I came out for the better for it, anyway. I'd much rather fight for something I know is right than do something that may or may not help anybody. Although it's nice to think it does.)

What HP character do you identify with most and why?

I identify with a lot of characters, Lily Evans sticks out for me and so do the Weasley twins (they're brilliant, march to their own beat, brave, stand-up for what they believe in... if there were two of me I definitely would've went with them)... but when it really comes down to it I'd say Sirius Black. The way I perceive him is that he was always very brave - always willing to fight for what he believed in; he was compassionate and loving towards those they loved; they was self-assured and never sought to prove themselves; but he was also humorous and clever. But what sticks out to me is that he was bold, vibrant and did things the way they wanted to do it, independent and self-confident, as well as true to himself. He was always intelligent, maybe even overly self-confident and played too many pranks, but I can relate to being flawed like that. That's important to me because whilst I can relate to Lily a lot, especially where she was more calm, level-headed and self-assured but humble than the twins; I can see myself doing the things Sirius did, or as how I interpret him as doing them. Being relaxed about things, mainly, but also being passionate about what he believed in. Maybe fighting against something too hard or passionately but really never meaning any true harm. That's what really sticks out for me - Sirius did make mistakes, he was too passionate, and dead-set in his ways and I can relate to that. I can understand that because I don't hear people out all the time or see all sides of the coin no matter how hard I try sometimes because I believe in it that much. Or I want to, anyway. He walked out on his family when he felt what they were doing wasn't right, though, and that has always stuck with me because I would as well if it were so awful. He was dedicated and loyal, as well. And definitely intelligent. So I would choose Sirius Black, and hopefully this doesn't bite me in the arse in the future.

What would you see if you looked into the Mirror of Erised?

This might be too specific, but I can picture myself in London living in a flat with a job as a journalist for something insane like National Geographic. I get to do what I want, write about what I want and travel... for work. But I definitely see myself with a lover or a friend, perhaps, a companion to be there with me and share some important moment.   ETA (I JUST KNEW IT): I definitely still see myself with the friends I have now. Because my closest friends are my family, plain and simple - family isn't just blood. We raised each other up and it was with them that I found a home and a place for myself in the world. Which is why Europe - I can't picture staying in the United States without them. My family is wonderful and beautiful and I love them so, but we don't need to be within arms reach constantly to support each other. With my friends, we ran away together for a month and were essentially homeless, so it really says something there, I think. We love too much, too deeply, it's true.

I see myself settling into a life that is a little bit wild but still innately stable. It'd be happy, and I'd be doing something that I love. I might not ever marry or have children, but I'd be happy with the company I keep and always keep in touch with the people I love. I might even still be studying something, maybe finishing up a degree in law so I can go and become a political figure when I get bored of writing. (Or perhaps I'd live above a bake shop that I open only on the weekends or something.) And maybe this isn't so much what I'd see in the Mirror as the movie I'd watch, oops. But, essentially, I want a happy future that doesn't mold me into something I'm not that's inspiring to other people.

Do you believe that moral actions should be judged by the intentions behind them, or by the consequences they create?

I believe it would be silly to judge based on either one without taking into consideration both. What I truly, honestly believe is that a Good does not negate a Bad nor does the Bad the Good. The end. If you have intentions to commit an act perceived as wrong (I'm making this distinction because we perceive actions as wrong through our emotions and thinking, which is unimportant amongst, say, a pack of lions) then they are still wrong, regardless if the outcome were good. Although, good job! The outcome was good. Not good, you're still going to be charged with Attempted Burglary if that's what you were up to. (I maintain, however, that one should always act on a good intention... and don't see how so many people can do otherwise, it's frustrating.)

That's too difficult, though, and ultimately you need to take responsibility for what your actions or your intentions caused, regardless. You should take in to consideration the circumstance, of course, although there are always exceptions. There is always loopholes and the systems set in place are never perfect, how could they ever be? But everything needs a balance. If you destroy a street, that street needs to be repaired and it doesn't matter that you needed to destroy the street to save everybody unless they were already aware of that and volunteer to pitch in. Otherwise it was your action, your choice and your responsibility. Ultimately, intentions don’t have any solid, concrete effect on the world. They’re all hypothetical. If somebody was harmed by you, that has to be fixed in spite of your intentions. It was still your fault and your good intention isn't going to help them. Therefore, actions should be judged on the consequences.

What was your ideal job as a kid? Has that changed? What is your ideal job now?

I went through phases! They were usually of the law/politics and medical variety, though. Veterinary Medicine was my first "ideal" job but I don't feel like it was because of the animals, as much as I wanted to help, though. It didn't matter if I was dreaming about medicine with people or animals, presidency, or lawyer/attorney, I just felt like some people (and animals) needed others. Somebody like me. It was important to me that it gave me satisfaction (but I also wanted stability and cash, so my choices weren't of the "I'm going to join the Peace Corps!" variety).

The job prospects have definitely changed since then, yes! I haven't firmly decided on a career choice, I haven't actually decided upon a major - I've been experimenting a lot. Doing a lot of writing online (fanfiction, I know, I know - but otherwise it's just essays and depressing poetry). But I also have an internship in physics and environmental science. I haven't decided on anything concrete yet, but I'm hoping for something that'll give me the freedom to travel, whilst putting to use my communication skills and science smarts. I've begun thinking Journalism or Politics, because I want to be heard. I want to make a difference and shake things up somehow, and I still want to help. Just not in the way "let's fix it up now" but in the "let's get down to the root of it and stop it before it happens." I want to be much more pro-active, instead of doing the repairs. Whether that means being a researcher and finding those things or being a journalist/political figure and communicating those things doesn't entirely matter to me, although if I can do both I don't see why not. I still can't entertain the thought of settling down completely, though!

I worked part-time for a bake shop, and I loved that; and I'm an excellent tutor... right now though, I'm working on a farm. It gives me a good sense of satisfaction. I always feel like I've worked for my keep, I deserve it - I get to help the local economy; I can help set up things like a homeless donation there for the foods that don't sell well. I get to play with the animals. It's all oddly idyllic in a way I didn't anticipate.

In the end, I'll probably end up with a multitude of qualifications in various fields and be a freelancer, which I always predicted would be my ultimate outcome (or university professor) anyway. I'm much too independent and strong-willed to be tied to one job... and a too reckless to consider stability in the overall equation. I don't think stability is necessary for me. It's definitely how much satisfaction I can glean from a job (how many people did I help today, smile today, laugh today, etc). I know I can get by with the best or worst paying job; I don't need to 100% know I'll have it forever; I just need to know that what I'm doing is important - if not to me, than to somebody else. If that's true, than I've always been happy to accept it.

If you were able to invent one spell, potion, or charm, what would it do, what would you use it for or how would you use it, and what would you call it?

I'm not sure if there's a potion like it, but something that would eliminate the need for food and sleep temporarily. Perhaps on the basis of how many drops = so many hours. I always have so much I want to do but never enough time, and I find myself completely disregarding sleep or hunger in favor of doing what I want, because I just become that involved in whatever I'm doing as I'm that dedicated - although it could be considered obsessive. I'd probably end up using it to study endlessly and practice new spells to make. I'd spend all of my time procrastinating on doing what I'm actually supposed to be doing, though, like going on tumblr or something. And I'd end up doing it last minute. But without the added effect of feeling a little bit drowsy or needing to take a bite of a snickers bar for energy. I'd just be a bundle of energy already and wouldn't need to eat or sleep.

Not to mention what you could do with all of that. If I still had the Invisibility Cloak at this point, too, I could just go around the castle at all times of the day maybe pulling pranks on people. (I'm actually a trickster... yeah...) I'd probably do inappropriate things like scare people snogging in the broom closets and sneak out of the castle (because you can't go to school and not break some rules, that's a damn waste). You'd have all this time and energy; and if you have invisibility you can just be wild with it. If I simply had the Marauders Map I could get wild with it. Magical pranks look like much more fun than Muggle ones.

As for what I would call it... I'd get somebody else to think that up. Or else I'll just get some Latin quote about living life up and adding Potion to the end of it. That's how it works, right?

If you were to face a boggart, what would it turn into? And what does it turn into when you throw the counter-spell, Riddikulus?

My boggart would probably take two of my fears and slap it together: Demons and the dark. It'd probably pop up out of an endless abyss of a hole to top it off. It's bad because when I was younger, I watched The Exorcist as my introduction to movies that weren't Disney or Grease. Not the best idea anybody should ever have and I've since been fairly traumatized by the idea of possession. I don't like the idea of something messing around with who I am and tarnishing my character. It's horrific. The dark and hole thing is mainly because I once fell down a hole in the house we lived in and got stuck there for two days. Just... that's incredibly lonely. You're helpless, it's dark. It'd be awful.

When I use Riddikulus, it'd probably turn into something like that Zebra in the rainbow colored afro. It'd be just ridiculous enough to pop into my head in a moment of panic, because it's all I've ever seen recently.

What do you look for in a friend?

I have never sought out a friend, honestly, so this is tricky. The friends I have accumulated by some miracle, however, share a lot of traits in common. (Although it takes a long, long while for me to designate "friend" wholly to somebody. It's a special status.)

- Intelligence: A lot of my friends are going into scientific fields - one is majoring in Medical Biophysics whilst another has ambitions in Underwater Archaeology. But still, yet, I need to be able to carry on an intelligent conversation: sitting in a coffee shop talking over the recent political campaigns or the most recently scientific breakthrough is easy and comforting to me. I want to be able to discuss philosophy and science.
- Humor: I consider humor a part of intelligence, as well. I love stupid jokes (and I'm quite a fan of puns, I'll admit it) but some of my best friends are absolute comedians. 
- Adventurous/Daring: I surround myself with people who have a good head on their shoulders but also a strong gut and heart. I love going out on a ghost-hunt on vacation or deep-sea diving. I'd have none of my oldest friends if it weren't for the fact that we'd get up to such trouble as children. (Although never caught for it - thus, intelligence! Street smarts.) And I'd be willing to break any number of rules - or, in some cases, laws - for their sake. Hang the rules; they're more like guidelines anyway and all that rot. You make stupid dares and you carry them through like "hey, go climb that tree. hey let's break into that house. hey, I hear noises - think it's haunted? let's go check it out!" It's never-ending adventure and I love it.
- Passion: I'm very easy-going, but I won't hesitate to fight for what I believe is right. I need friends who are capable of taking that and giving it back, regardless of arguments. Confrontation can be fun and educating, exhilarating. My friends are just as likely to chill at the beach as they are to protest.
- Trust: Absolute necessity and it must be mutual. We're all the types of people who would lay down anything on the behalf of the others. It's loyalty and devotion, 100%, forever and always. They're my equals, their lives are worth mine and I'd be happy to drop anything to help them.
- Empathy: Although I can be apathetic at times, and often am, it's why we're good friends. I like people who can relate (although I get along with others, so different interests aren't usually so bad) to me or can help. It's also part intelligence, I think - that ability to know by reading between the lines what's wrong. And then there's the ability to tell when each of us will get sick which is just plain creepy. When it comes down to it; I just as much need them to understand and fuss over me as I will for them. I derive a lot of my own self-value from how many people would put that out there, send those FB messages like, "Haven't heard from you in a while - you all right?" Or are just there in your text messages all the time. I like being a pillar of support for people; and I take equal satisfaction in its reciprocation. Ultimately, I put a lot of effort in for the people I love because I empathize with them.

But I also need support from people sometimes; I like to be fussed over and cared for, especially since I don't make the effort as much as they do. I get stubborn easily, but I'm also indecisive so you need to be reasonable and equally forceful. Just as well, I'm flexible, so I need people who either can keep me on track or can come with me easily. Unnecessary conflict will aggravate me quickly. You have to be yourself and so do I. Conformation makes me uncomfortable and will quickly annoy me as well. Big one? Communication. So basically - if you can intelligently converse with me, fight with me, make me feel important and I can do that for you too... if you're funny and fun, spontaneous but can also be easy-going; I'll probably get along with you. I'm a little bit flexible, a lot really, but the people closest to me are of the same type as I am. Which means that we're all natural-born leaders with loud-mouth's 75% of the time so you can imagine what it's like when we try to decide on lunch. (BURGER KING! TACO BELL! MCDONALDS! *Insert valid reasons and cuss words, generally*)

What trait most annoys you about other people?

Ignorance. I say ignorance because the people who encompass this trait usually encompass other traits I dislike: arrogance, insensitivity, superficial and negativity. Generally, I call these people "asses." They're childish and prideful, to the extent where it's simply offending. A joke is fine, I can laugh at jokes (I'm not big on Social Justice blogging, because wow, too serious), but being deliberately, harmfully offensive when people don't take it as humor is not acceptable. Not owning up to it is unacceptable as well. Be an adult and clean up your own mess, or at the very least own up to it. They stick to ideas that aren't ideas so much as thoughts fed to you by sources you never thought to look into. They don't support themselves, they merely feed off of what others give them and somehow that makes them that person. Then they have the gall to be arrogant about it - like it makes them better somehow. Like being White or Rich or something. It... makes me want to punch people in the face. Quickly. Hard. I can be naive, confident blunt (oh the adventures my mouth and temper have caused) and maybe I'm not an optimist but they take that to whole new levels. And generally they've got these mindsets that are just... so set in wrong ways. They don't see beyond what they were taught to see, beyond negativity and what they believe in and because of that they're ignorant. And it's awful because they're usually wrong.

What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities?

Flexible: I'm quick on my feet when it comes down to the wire or anything, really. Especially to accomplish my goals. I learn quickly and on the fly; if you show it to me once there is a high chance I'll pick it up soon after if I concentrate hard enough on what I need to do. I can work in various environments, generally with various people - or I try to, although I have been known to argue a lot in group projects. And I can definitely change it up to achieve my goals, like getting an A in the class. Although sometimes I'm unbearably disagreeable because whilst I am flexible, I am steadfast in my main ways and I definitely won't lie or cheat to get an A.

Bold/Courageous: I am definitely one of those types who steps up when somebody is in need of it. I am always telling off the bullies and I will continue to do so. Reasonably, of course, not with the same violence, etc... er, necessarily. Sometimes I see red, which, next section! I'm the first one to try anything new and although I may be afraid to say things, I won't back down from saying them regardless of how badly my voice may shake because I believe in it. Ironically, though, I have quite the loud mouth. I've been known to speak too frankly with adults, and to start up arguments or fights too often. It makes me outgoing and outspoken as well as confident in myself 90% of the time. (I think this goes hand-in-hand with being passionate, honestly, which I definitely am. I pursue subjects with utmost dedication in every aspect of my life be it academic or romantic and I'm fearless when it comes to it.)

Ingenuity: This is something I'm simply putting out there - but I'm fairly creative. It comes with being independent, I think, and I like to consider myself intelligent. I can put things together quickly and then execute them. I can usually do this even if it seems absurd. The closest example I can think of is I am an excellent billiards player - and from that I learnt that it's all angle's - you just need to push and use the right amount of physics to pull off things other people can't.

Open-Minded: I consider myself to be very open to things. Whatever it is, I will be there to help and listen. I do not turn people away and I will always make my best effort to help you, because it's what I would want in your shoes. Additionally, I'm not afraid to take on things. Like a job or running away from home to experience new adventure. I'll go ghost-hunting or deep-sea diving and I definitely don't back down from a challenge or a dare. I definitely consider the world my oyster and I don't intend to back down until I've gotten a taste of everything I could possibly get my hands on. (I think this translates to more personal aspects of my life, as well, like actively discussing sex openly or making statements in the streets. Although none of that sitting on the sidewalk stuff - more like standing up and being loud.)

Honorable: I will always stick to what I believe in and what I consider right. This is also a nice way of saying I'm stubborn, I've been told. Generally, I will not let anything get in the way of doing what I believe is right and true which can be a bit medieval, but it only means that I do not believe we should have to compromise doing what is just to achieve an end. Any opposition is likely to receive a verbal smack-down (physical ones are generally reserved for friends and beds or grass; although I don't know - anger me enough and I did flip a table (literally oh God) in elementary school once oops) because it's not something you can sway me from. I honor my commitments and decisions steadfast. (If any of you are Game of Thrones fans... Winter Is Coming if you catch my drift? And for that matter: Fire and Blood. Always.)

What do you think are your top five weaknesses or worst qualities?

Diplomacy: This seems odd to put here, but it gets to the point where I am passive-aggressive. I try to balance too much, and in the end, I might resort to lesser means. I'll do things in order to keep that order and balance that sometimes compromises my beliefs without realizing it in a panic. Although if I can take control of a situation, there is no doubt that I will take it over completely and direct it according to my whim. I'm also usually the one causing the unnecessary debates, so it's quite the contradiction at times. (A nice mix of stubborn and diplomatic with an extra dash of stubborn, I've been told.)

Self-Centered: I can charm people, I can lie, set things awry intentionally, and I'll use ambiguity as a shield in order to avoid consequences and get what I want. Although I try not to. This applies beyond me, though - if I want a friend to accomplish something, their goals, whatever, I'm willing to do it for them. I'm willing to bend the rules a little or manipulate somebody to make it more likely to happen. Usually, though, and I think this is where me being a Libra is important, it's because I can't imbalance. I get anxious and irate. Afterwards, though, I become pretty... apologetic. For forever. I have a wonderful conscious that will never let me live down any injustice I ever commit, especially for myself. (I just don't listen to it sometimes...)

Anxious: I get very anxious! Which makes me become forgetful or even indecisive although usually I can make up my mind. I worry about situations like when I get to a place early, if I got the wrong place or time, etc. If I'm missing something. I worry a lot about what if and what may sometimes to the point where it can be debilitating. Generally, though, I'm confident in myself in the sense that if things do go wrong, I'll be able to get myself out of it. I never approach anything unprepared, thank you anxiety. (My nerves also make me more open, I think - I get louder the more anxious I am at a speech and if I get too antsy, I just stand up and go on rants. It's pretty funny how productive I can be under pressure.)

Temper: Although I am laid-back and generally easy-going, once I do get annoyed I tend to become, simply put, mean. Sharply sarcastic to the point of being harmful and bitter to people. I usually get loud, and I toss around insults plainly without much regard for who's paying attention or what I'm saying or, even, if I'll regret it later. And if I get really angry I might even be convinced to resort to physical violence. Usually these phases last a while as well, so it requires a lot of patience to deal with. My temper is very volatile at times, as well.

Perfectionist: I want everything to be perfect to the point where it becomes an obsession. This means I become stubborn about things, or I procrastinate them for a long while and then refuse to turn it in sub-par because it's not worth it unless it's perfect. So I'm willing to sacrifice going to school if I can write the perfect essay. I can be very stubborn about this and even overly sensitive - I'll snap easily. I analyze too much, too, so I will always find something "wrong."

Define in your own words the following key traits:

• Courage: Courage is being beaten down before you've ever begun and scared, but still standing up and seeing it through anyway, no matter anybody else says or does because it's what you have faith in, it's what's right.
• Loyalty: Loyalty is loving something/body when you see them for everything that they are: every flaw, insecurity, sin or vice and still loving them, still standing by them even if the whole world turns their back on them.
• Intelligence: Intelligence is the ability to think critically, holistically; make connexions, draw conclusions from even the smallest details and the big picture. To think for yourself based on what you've seen, heard, read, etc, and use all of your resources to apply it to the world and reality.
• Ambition: Ambition is when you're motivated and determined to achieve the highest goal you've set, dedicating yourself to it endlessly, but maintaining your core aspects.

Where did you find out about us? I heard about it a while back, but cattiechaos joined and I thought, "Well, now I have an excuse!"

Do you plan on being active in the communities once you are sorted? Definitely, I am going to be a college freshman... with two internships and a job, although that only means I'll have lots of different IP's.
