1 She can read more than one language, but is not confidant on her pronunciation. (She translated Martel’s journal once and can read angelic.)
2 She plays both piano and harp.
Italics are things she has read about in books but never tried for herself. She knows how to do them in theory, but in practice she might make a mess of things.
Azura blinked, bewildered and still trying to process the blur of events that led her to being shoved into this small, enclosed space with the redhead. Well, it looked like they were going to be stuck a while, so she shrugged and broke the awkward silence with, "You smell nice.."
It was hard not to laugh when that was her choice of words. No ‘Hi, it’s been a while,’ or ‘what are you up to these days.’ To be fair, this was probably the closest she’d ever been to him, and with a face full of his hair that might have been the first thing on her mind.
“Nice to see you again too” he chuckled. “Also it’s a custom blend, this shampoo.” He twirled a lock of red hair between his finger as he spoke. “This one’s new actually. So you like it?”
Technically speaking, the closet was not his first choice of reunion spaces, but apparently he and Azura were not fit to be seen by whoever had come into the room. If he had to guess, it was probably someone a little too loyal to the old Pope, someone his informant didn’t want drawing any conclusions about why the Chosen was in the room. Azura had been a surprise in general, he hadn’t seen her in months, maybe over a year.
“I can hazard a guess why my company is undesired at the moment, but what did you do to deserve being stuffed in here with me?”
Once you get this, you must share five facts about yourself. Then pass it on to your ten favorite followers. ( ✿) (You don't have to if you're burnt out on these by now, but just letting you know you're one of my favorites! ;u;)
I’ve been holding on to this for a while, because I was really surprised to receive one on my personal blog. It made me happy though, so thank you^^ I enjoy your posts on my dash also, both in character and out. I’m glad we met.
1. When I was younger, I was always a princess for Halloween. As I got older, I branched out a bit. One year I was a geisha, another I was an angel, another I was a gypsy. Then my mother told me I was too old to trick or treat, so I didn’t dress up again til college. I was a gypsy again in college because it’s what I could throw together from my closet. Then I was an elf, also thrown together from my closet. I wore it to Ren Faire too xD
2. I adore accents. Oh my goodness, they’re the best thing ever. It makes me so happy to hear people talking in an accent.
3. I’m not really fond of any bugs, but spiders freak me the hell out. I can’t watch the scenes with Aragog or Shelob (or in the new Hobbit movie) without freaking out. I saw a spider on a box at work and dropped the box in panic. I wrote “spider in box, sorry not opening” and left the box on the floor.
4. I don’t have a college degree, though I spent six years in college.I switched majors almost yearly, either my major or my minor, and was double majoring at more than one point, but I didn’t like any of them enough to complete them. Eventually I realized I was just racking up debt and dropped out to pay it off. I can experiment online without the huge student debts tagged onto my learning time. While I wish I didn’t have the debt, I don’t regret the time spent down there because I made great friends and had fun.
5. I like children in principle, but do not want any of my own. If I ever do end up with any, they would be adopted, so I can skip the ‘crying all night’ stage and the actual being pregnant bit.
[[ Oh goody guys nbjasuasdfjsd I'm like screaming wow I'm really one of your favorite followers??amksjniakmas aah ;w; precious people I love youuu-- and lemme tell you you're some of my favorite people and blogs ever ok? ('cept maybe for the anon, because I'm not sure who it is? But still I love you anon thanks ;w;)
Although, this all counts like 25 facts and it's a looot, and I'm not really that interesting D8 and Sheena won't let me tell that much about her oops
so I guess I'll divide it on half, and the left will maybe be a common fact between her and me? idk--]]
"I guess I'm good with that. I go first, then?"
[[If you cooould~]]
"Alright. jeez, this is going to be a long post. Read mores will be used."
About Sheena:
She never holds grudges for much time , although she never forgets what would cause them, either. She won't seek for revenge, but she will be wary around the person, even hostile, depending on the severity of what they did. There could be exceptions though. (probably a reason why she acts like that around Zelos)
She's totally a morning person. It's a habit for her to wake up very early and train.
She prefers tea over coffee, but she's not much of a picky person, so she could drink any of then and wouldn't complain.
Her very damaged self-esteem, in a more physical sense (her body), doesn't have anything to do with her weight, as it is usual with people of her age. She does have insecurities about her body and appearance in a lot of other aspects, though. (things like, she doesn't consider herself attractive, or pretty, etc.)
She still holds her self-loath from the past, only reduced a bit since she met her friends from the regeneration journey.
She's a horrible liar, and that's why she hardly lies to anyone.
She does hide stuff though, and it's mostly because she'd been taught to always keep a limit on her trust to say certain things to certain people.
Her trust is highly dependent to the level of closeness she's got to someone, but not completely defined by it. Certain things, like her emotions and feelings, are things she'd rather keep for herself, or tell only to certain people.
Orochi, Kuchinawa and Zelos are, probably, the people that knows her the most and the best. (I would add Igaguri, if not because he'd been in a coma for half and a bit more of her life, basically.) Corrine was, probably, too.
Contrary to popular belief, Sheena does trust Zelos. In certain things though, and probably not in the most conventional way to trust someone at all. But to be certain, she would trust stuff on him she wouldn't even consider telling someone that had known her for more time (say, Orochi). The only exception with this could be granted to Corrine/Verius.
She feels uncomfortable and awkward over sexual topics, innuendos, and stuff related to it. Remember, she grew in a very traditionally strict ninja village where there's secrecy in everything.
Despite the fact that her failed attempt at killing Colette brought her a lot of issues and disappointment with her village, the King, Kuchinawa, and Tethe'alla in general, she doesn't regret failing at it, period. After all, she won something much more important, her first female best friend, and other really great friends that helped her go through a lot of stuff.
About Nani:
I love cold weather. I'm literally a penguin, I love freezing. Although I do love wrapping myself in covers like a worm when it's freezing too much.
I also love both Halloween (even if we don't celebrate it here) and Christmas (even if I dislike sharing with my family), for no apparent reason. Really, I just feel so much joy in these days? And writing holiday stuff is pretty awesome teehee--
I don't-- uh, "hate" my family. But I certainly dislike them. I mean, I've shared awesome moments in my childhood with them, but... I hate how it started to fall apart, get much more conflictive, judgmental, how they started to be such bullies, and hypocrites over all, right when my parents divorced and I grew up.
On a happier note, I love Orcas! They are my favorite mammals ever, and after birds and reptiles, my favorite animals ever, too.
I have too much pride for my own good. I mean, I'm not proud of me, but I'm certainly proud of some of my ways to think. If I'm wrong, I'll probably accept it while growling undertone because I'm immature as heck. Don't mind me, I won't hate you if you correct me <3 I just beat myself for being wrong.
I don't like femininity. I mean, I support others being proud of their femininity and stuff, but I'm don't like it on me. Am I the only one that is proud when called tomboy tho???
I probably have some level of Attention (& Hyperactive) Disorder. I get distracted so easily about doing literally EVERYTHING, can't stay still for much long, can't concentrate for a long time, etc. That not counting another lot of side-effects (like anxiety and difficult-to-sleep-but-pass-out-easily, etc).
For the reason above, I can't finish a drawing or a long writing (several pages) in short time (rare cases have happened). Can take at least half a week to draw/write something nearly decent.
Oh dear I'm such an angst sucker. Give me some angst and I'll love you forever, if it makes me cry, I'll be attached to you for an eternity hAHA. Oh, and I'll probably give you angst in return, if I make you cry, it'll be my joy <33 (That's how I bond???)
Did I mention that I'm a horrible morning person? I mean, staying awake until morning is lovely, but waking up in mornings is like nnnhh no.
I usually don't enjoy talking about how I did in my everyday life, to be honest. I prefer topics that doesn't have to do anything with irl stuff, specially if it's of me.
I almost never finish any game. This is because I usually play several games in a same timeline. (example, I'm currently playing Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2 [almost tempted to play the 3 too], Mother 3, Pokemon Emerald and OFF, and I haven't finished any orz.)
One characteristic we share? (out of a handful yeah)
-> Our impulsive behavior. We tend to say and do rude/violent things we don't mean to, and it's like a real bad habit, say, automatic response. We tend to hurt others for that, physically or emotionally, but that's totally and completely unintentional.
"Trick or Treat!" chirped the smaller of the two enthusiastically, holding out a jack-o'-lantern pail while her very real and fluffy wolf tail wagged behind her. The other, feeling too old for this, was more standing behind her and watching on like a parent, with slight embarrassment apparent on his face.
Another knock. This time, Kratos was prepared with the chocolates and answered the door with the jar under his arm. Upon seeing who was at his door, his eyebrows lifted slightly, a small smile twitching at the corners of his lips.
"Azura, Zaul," he greeted, nodding to each, his smile widening very slightly as he noted how enthusiastic Azura was about the holiday. It reminded him of times past and it was all he could do not to chuckle as the tail wagged and he removed the lid on the chocolates.
"I trust dark chocolate is appropriate as a Halloween treat?" he enquired, poised to tip a selection of them into the jack-o’-lantern pail.
"Azura, it don' even look like--" Zaul was promptly cut off by the door opening before them, much to his surprise. Not missing a beat, his lady friend cheerfully exclaimed "Trick or Treat!" holding up her jack-o'-lantern pail.
Yuan had been ready. The plus side to heightened hearing was that feet outside the door tended to reach your ears a lot sooner - and when there was likely to be a deranged 14-for-4000-years year old in a dress leaping into his office at any given moment with a trick he most definitely wouldn’t enjoy, that hearing was important.
And so was being ready.
He answered the door with a large butterfly net in his hands and immediately paused on seeing the blue-haired man and blue-skinned lady on his doorstep. After a moment of staring (and waiting for said crazy boy named Mimi to pop up behind them), Yuan established two things. One, no he did not know these people. And two, in the spirit of the holiday, he probably shouldn’t turn them away. There was a very large part of him that wanted to know what their trick would be. A little thing called common courtesy that he didn’t often listen to, insisted that he shouldn’t ask.With a sigh he said, “I supposed I should give you a treat.” For coming all this way to ask at a place certainly didn’t look like a candy-giving-grandmother lived there.
With a slight smile, he moved to the side to pick of the bowl of sweets he had abandoned to answer the door and tipped some of them into the Jack-O’-Lantern pail, taking a moment to look over the pair of them again.Even if he wasn’t participating, Halloween was such an interesting holiday."Make it a good one," he said as he went to close the door. "Happy Halloween."
Do I RP with them: Yes, and it’s quite fun.Do I want to RP with them: As usual, question is invalid.Do I follow them: On this account? No, I don’t think so. But on my personal I do.My opinion on them: I enjoy the things you write, and I’m glad to have a way to keep in touch outside Gaia since I’m a lazy bum who never visits the guild. (In fact, you may have even taken me out of it for inactivity, as I only ever visit SA) Also, Azura’s cat fascination cracks me up.
Natalia has a certain measure of difficulty with understanding how friendship works, given how isolated she was as a child, how swiftly she was betrayed by the entirety of the Kimlascan nobility (whom she previously trusted), and because of how blurred the notion of ‘friendship’ became with both Luke and Asch. It’s because of this that she generally doesn’t think very much about what she considers others to be in regards to friendship (i.e. “best friend”), and focuses instead on establishing general rapport with those around her.
It’s also because of this that she tends to be merciful, as she can at times fail to recognize an ‘enemy’ as being more than just another person (who perhaps requires aid).
