Personality
How do you perceive yourself? I see myself as capable of seeing all sides of a situation, and I pride myself in doing so (since I find that most people only see the world through their own eyes). I'm also somewhat insecure when it comes to giving others the wrong impression of me. When people need an ear to be lended or a shoulder to be leaned on, I'm the one to go to - if they can find me, anyway, we usually share different schedules. Though, while I'm affectionate and flexible (occasionally even clairvoyant - which gets really creepy), I don't actually have fun with many of my peers. I feel like I'm always a mile ahead of my age group.
How do you think other people perceive you? There are two sides to that. On the good side, people may see me as understanding and giving, and while very smart, not exactly willing to work (or stick with anything) unless the work interests me - that goes for schoolwork and even relationships. On the bad side, they say I'm terribly unrealistic (maybe even insane) and am going to end up on the side of the road if I don't comply with society's rules.
What do you do in your spare time (hobbies, if any)? Read, write, draw, though those last two only when I'm particularly inspired. I love to belt out showtunes and my favorite songs while alone.
Stuff you love: My family, my friends, chocolate, cola, long walks on the beach, kayaking, candlelit dinners, being away from conflict
Stuff you dislike flat-out hate: My ex: the true Narcissus boy (The song, not the video) , the people who claim to be my friends and apparently aren't due to the fact they've recently lost all my trust, the stubborn and the close-minded
Are you more...
Idealistic/realistic? I'm realistic in most areas, idealistic in others. Actually, I'm realistic (by the world's standards) in just about everything aside from my career choice.
Introverted/extroverted? Introverted. However, I'm perfectly capable of conversing with people - it's just a matter of whether I want to or not.
Calm/hyper? Calm. My 'friends' often have to ask me if I've ever been hyper. I haven't.
Mature/immature? Mature. I base this off the fact that, while I occasionally have some immature thoughts, I keep them to myself instead of randomly blurting them out at the expense of a cheap joke and the innocence of five children.

What are some (2-4) scenes that are your favorites in the show? First one would have to be in Episode 12, the whole time Fakir and Ahiru are down in that waterhole place. The second would be their dance in the Lake of Despair. Third, when Rue finds out she isn't actually the Raven's daughter (and is promptly met by Literally Raven Mytho) - the way her hair falls down upon seeing the abandoned baby struck a chord with me. Same with my fourth choice, which is when Mytho discovers Tutu is really a duck. The music as he bows down to her makes it all really touching.
Who's your favorite major character (i.e. from the regular stamps) and why? Fakir. Now, all fangirling aside from my last app, what makes me like his character so much is the fact that his personality actually does a complete 180 in terms of development. In most series, the development is always small or one-sided, like.. THE BAD-ASS PRETTY BOY CHANGED BY AN INNOCENT LOVE, or THE STUBBORN FEMALE WORKAHOLIC WHO FINDS PASSION IN SOME SELFLESS GUY WHO IS HER TOTAL OPPOSITE (I'm lookin' at you, Kare Kano) - Tutu is unique in the fact that all it's characters change with the story. I like Fakir in particular because his changes stuck with me the most.
Who's your favorite minor character (i.e. Malen, Femio, Mr. Penguin) and why? Femio. I suppose I like him because, the entire time I was watching his episode, I could only be reminded of Hiro-kun from Bust-A-Move/Groove and his theme "The Natural Playboy". Which is surprisingly, so fitting, somebody actually made an AMV tribute for him using said song.
Who's the character you like least (can be major/minor) and why? Mytho. While I don't hate total helplessness or anything, his seizures and distant attitude got a bit much. I realize you can't have much of a personality without a heart, but still.

Have you been naughty or nice this year? I've been both. I'd like to think it was more nice than naughty, though. I just tend to have naughty thoughts. (Get your heads outta the gutter. >_> )
Did you believe in Santa Claus? I did, as a child. Really, though, whether or not he did exist at one point, I think his presence is the greatest in our hearts.
Would you rather give or receive? Give, actually. I don't have much I want and, though sometimes my mother claims I'm selfish like my dad, I think that's more due to a lack of communication than being selfish. When I'm given things, I can't exactly say "Thank you", because I feel there's no way for me to make it sound sincere, so I come off as selfish to her.
But I do love to give people things, whether it be affection, money, what they want to hear, what they don't want to hear but need to hear anyway. Don't mistake me for being a pushover, though.
If you don't mind saying so, what are some of the actual things on your holiday wishlist? .. Nothing, really. o_o I already have most of what I want. If I ask for anything they'll probably be outdated games I haven't played in a long time.
What style of gifts do you like receiving? It depends, my tastes are far and wide. I guess, for me, it's really the thought that counts these days.
If you could have one thing from the Tutu item list, what would it be and why? Femio's rose petals. Just so I could have somebody fan them behind me everywhere I make an entrance.

Anything else? Tomoyo: I don't mean to make a scene or be excessive, but I really am sorry for how I've acted towards you these past few days. >_o I haven't been having the best week, and I made the mistake of having that impact my word choice. I just wanted to clear that up, I don't like giving people the wrong impression. This goes for everybody else, too. Nope. n_n
