✦ Personality ✦
Type: ISFJ 9w1
Greatest Strength: Loyalty, I guess. You can rely on me, I'll always be there for you, and I'm pretty fiercely protective. I'm also pretty reasonable, and forgiving too. No matter what people do, they always deserve a second-chance if they're trying for it.
Greatest Weakness: I can be kinda biased, and maybe even a little judgy sometimes. I'm probably gonna put my friends first before anybody else.
Greatest Source of Annoyance: Just...somebody who walks around acting like a complete dick, and then, who turns around and acts like they don't. Also, I'm not a big fan of the whole neurotic, shallow thing. Or jealousy. I'm gonna be real, and I know plenty of others who are, so you don't really have an excuse not to be, too.
Most Admirable Trait in Others: Selflessness. I mean...it just doesn't get any better than that. Stepping outside of yourself, taking a look at everybody else, seeing what they want, or need, and denying things of yourself for them. It's legit.
Habits: Working out, going for jogs, hanging with my friends sometimes, used to like working on my truck, hunting, playing football and swimming. Now, I work at that piano bar in the Quarter. Not playing, but bar-tending. It's cool, make pretty good tips.
Ambitions: I guess, just...make sure everybody makes it through this alright. Keep the peace, keep anybody from getting hurt. Also, I still really want that future I've always wanted...a wife, a family, that whole white picket fence thing. I don't know if it's really possible anymore, but if there's someway to get it, I'd really like to.
Fears: Losing anybody, losing my humanity, watching someone I care about get hurt or hit rock-bottom.
Secrets: I really like being human, but I do kinda hate serving as a blood bag all the time to these vampires. Even so, I guess it's a small price to pay for the protection we get here—we're kind of an endangered species at this point, so that's kinda weird but kinda cool at the same time. It also isn't anything I wouldn't readily be willing to give to my friends, anyway, to keep them alive. I don't like being forced into it, though, but...I dunno, I guess I don't so much mind the city as much as some people do. We're all alot better off than we could be, out there in the wild, facing armageddon or whatever is going on. I really miss Jeremy, though. And Tyler. Oh yeah, one more secret: I've got a rifle in my closet.
Interesting Facts/Quirks: My sister Vicki and I didn't have the same dad, our mom was kinda that type. We've kinda taken care of ourselves as long as I can remember, had to watch out for ourselves because our parents were kind of a no-show: neither of us remember our dads, and our mom just wasn't around very much. She'd come and go all the time. Vik got turned into vampire a few years back, right before all this craziness hit, but then Stefan killed her or something, not really sure about the details. But, with what happened to the Other Side, I think she might be back now? I don't really know. I also told my mom to just leave for good and not come back before all this hit, because I was better off without her. I hope she's alright out there, wherever she is.
