House: Ravenclaw Best Trait: The ability to be alone, yet still understand humans. I'm rather fond of the fact that I don't need very many friends to help me along in life. I have one very close friend (my sister), but other than the time I spend with her, I spend all of my time alone. Unless I'm at school, but I don't really talk to many people at school. Mostly, I just observe, so I understand a lot about people in general. This makes me rather empathetic, so I will help people who come to me, and need it, because I can understand them. But I mostly like to keep to myself, unless I'm starting some sort of trouble. However, I usually start the trouble by myself.
Worst Trait: My messiah complex. A lot of the time I think that I alone can save the world. I see so many things hideously wrong, and they hurt me so deeply because I am such an empath. Then, I get it into my head that I have to help all of these people, and that I can help all of these. When I discover that this really isn't the way things work, I get discouraged and depressed, because I'm in so much pain because these other people are in pain, but I can't do much at all to help. I can't fix everything, but I still think I should be able to. Sometimes my causes devour my entire mind for weeks at a time, causes like feminism, gay rights, AIDS, etc. I love my causes more than I love people, often more than I love myself. I know I would die for them, if push came to shove, and that scares me sometimes.
What would you want your animal form to be most capable of? Going unnoticed. I don't necessarily want it to be small, but it would be nice to be an animal that isn't very exotic, and that you can find in most places around the world. I don't like to attract attention all the time. I want to have the ability to blend in when I need to, so I don't want to be some gaudy exotic bird that sticks out everywhere but a rainforest. I also want my animal form to be capable of protecting itself, so something that could fend off offenders with some sort of weapon.
Choose one of the following -- Air, Water, Earth Water. Water represents life and death. Without it, you cannot live. With too much of it, you will die. I like the duality that water presents, and also the power. Water surges and pounds and weathers and drowns. Watching a swiftly flowing river in rapids, or a gigantic waterfall, or huge waves on an ocean always amazes me, because it's just water, but so much more. Water is amazing and refreshing. I never get tired of swimming because it makes me feel so new.
Warm or cool? Cool. When I'm too warm, I get all sleepy and it gives me headaches. That never happens when I'm cold. You can only take so many clothes off when you're warm, but you can keep layering on clothes after clothes when you're cold. Also, I'm mildly obsessed with the Arctic, because I love the way the animal life can survive in that incredible cold. And I just like how silent it always is in the snow. Silence makes me so happy. Cold is amazing.
Morning or evening? Evening. I absolutely despise mornings. I'm always too tired to get anything done, and grumpy to boot. Evening is so much more interesting with all the stars and the quiet. I can always do more work of any kind at night, when the house is quiet, and the neighborhood is quiet. Everything is just much clearer to me in the evening, when I finally wake up mentally.
Do you like to have people around you or are you more of a loner? Definitely a loner. I like people as an abstract idea, and I am rather fond of humanity, but introduce to real people and I will unfailingly find a reason to not like them. Something always bothers me about a person. I always end up driving people away because they annoy me too much, and it's really too much work for me to put up with people who annoy me when I really don't need friends to be happy. There is one person I always get along with. She is my only friend, and she is really all I need.
