Gender: Female
Personality
How do you perceive yourself?Well, first off, I do not think of myself as a horrible or “unworthy of life” person. It took me awhile to realize that I should be proud and love the person that I am now. I know I can be energetic, honest, open, and there is even a creative side to me. I have flaws, such as my temper, but… being imperfect and is perfect, I think. XD There is still so much more to me that I’m still discovering--- and I’m enjoying the journey. :D
How do you think other people perceive you? My school friends see me as happy-go-lucky, loud, and creative. Although they think I have a fiery, dominant, and bossy side to me… which is mostly accurate. Other than that, I noticed that most people see me generally as a sweet, bright, and smart person. I would describe more, but for this application I’ll keep it short and sweet.
What do you do in your spare time (hobbies, if any?)? I love web and graphic designing. I also like to write poetry, play with paints, read, and dancing alone in my room… hehe. I even create little stories in my head. ♥ XD
Stuff you love: figure ice skating, skies, fairytales, books, playing the park at night, poetry, being creative, music, animals, stars, dreaming, making cell phone charms and other pretties, shopping, being with friends, having fun, Pullips, video gamess, my oboe, and… mermaids.
Stuff you dislike: animal cruelty, practicing piano, grasshoppers, swimming, genocides, cigarettes, volleyball, annoying people, too literal people, politcs, mathematics, and etc.
Are you more...
Idealistic/realistic? I am an idealist when I am by myself.
Introverted/extroverted? Extrovert… with a couple introvert qualities.
Calm/hyper? I only get hyper when I’m having fun with friends, so most of the time I’m calm.
Mature/immature? Mature. I don’t consider being silly and childish as being “immature”.
Princess Tutu Related
What are some (2-4) scenes that are your favorites in the show? My most favorite favorite favorite scene is when Princess Tutu dances the pas de deux by herself. (It is also my favorite scene to icon… heehee. ) It showcases the beauty and language of dance~ I also think it’s one of the more “magical” moments in the series too.
Who's your favorite major character (i.e. from the regular stamps) and why? Princess Kraehe---the side of Rue that represents her anger and her inner struggle. She is not evil, just conflicted and confused. Other than that, I think that she is beautiful and I like the fact that she dances with a certain awkwardness.
Who's your favorite minor character (i.e. Malen, Femio, Mr. Penguin) and why? Freya! I loved her instantly when I first saw her. She is beautiful and pure~ a true fairytale maiden.
Who's the character you like least (can be major/minor) and why? Ummm… I don’t know… perhaps Ebine and that guy who tried to kill Fakir… since they look… dysfunctional.
Gift Related
Have you been naughty or nice this year?I think I was alright this year.
Did you believe in Santa Claus? Yeah. I found out when I noticed that Santa’s handwriting looked exactly like my mom’s. And in her usual blue pen too.
Would you rather give or receive? I’ve always been more of a giver. Actually, I give out things year round. Christmas, Asian New Year, Valentines, you name it. I’ll be there with some sort of sweet treat.
If you don't mind saying so, what are some of the actual things on your holiday wishlist? A new domain name/web host and a digital camera. Maybe another Pullip doll. ♥ Hee hee.
What style of gifts do you like receiving? I’m not sure. Perhaps creative surprising gifts? I think just the thought of the person giving me a gift is good enough for me.
If you could have one thing from the Tutu item list, what would it be and why? Oomf. That’s really hard. I would have said Princess Tutu’s dress, but unfortunately that’s not on the list! I guess I will say her crown instead because that is the closest thing to it. (But I also really like Kraehe’s black shoes too.)

How about some Vienna Teng lyrics?
The Atheist Christmas Carol by Vienna Teng
it's the season of grace coming out of the void
where a man is saved by a voice in the distance
it's the season of possible miracle cures
where hope is currency and death is not the last unknown
where time begins to fade
and age is welcome home
it's the season of eyes meeting over the noise
and holding fast with sharp realization
it's the season of cold making warmth a divine intervention
you are safe here you know now
don't forget
don't forget I love
I love
I love you
it's the season of scars and of wounds in the heart
of feeling the full weight of our burdens
it's the season of bowing our heads in the wind
and knowing we are not alone in fear
not alone in the dark
