Applications

PLEASE USE THE NEW APPLICATION POST!

Please be aware that apps are only open from the 1st (12:00 AM Eastern Standard Time) to the 7th (11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time) of any given month. This means that as of 12:01 AM, the 1st, apps are open and that as of 11:59 PM the 7th, they are closed. If you post an application after that time, it will be deleted and ignored. Please pay attention to the application times and the status at the top of this page!

PLEASE READ THE RULES BEFORE APPLYING! Especially the last few, as they establish what characters can or cannot be accepted.

If you want to canon-update your character, you must re-apply for said character with the relevant changes (history, personality, strengths and weaknesses, etc). For re-apps and canon updates, samples must be rewritten; we do not accept recycled samples.

The old application posts can be found on Livejournal, using the Applications tag.

Here's the application. Copy and paste the text box info into a comment and fill it out. You must apply with the following format, otherwise your application will not be accepted.

You may link to threads on the

trainingwings community for your first person samples, as long as the thread in question is no older than three months. The thread or post must still have at least ten lines of dialog from your character to be considered.

HERE is a word-counting tool to check your 3rd person samples.

If a mod does not accept your app right away, please be patient. We all have our own personal and busy lives to attend to, and there might be a period of time when it might take us days to get to the applications. There is also the possibility that we do not know the canon you are applying for, and we need time to study it. So please be patient and we will work as fast as we can to get you an answer. If it has been a week with no word, please feel free to message Akai (guynophobic), Masamune (masamune3x), or Emily (spark memories) on AIM, or email them at their respective email addresses found in the

luceti profile page.

Note: Applications are not always processed in the order they are received, due to the way they are divvied up between the moderators. If your application has been skipped, do not fret. Another mod will be getting to it soon enough. Additionally, you now have ONE WEEK to complete revision requests and Q&A's. You will be reminded of this deadline three days before it's up. After that week has passed, your application will no longer be considered for the current round. We apologize, but please be patient with us!

A note for applying here on Dreamwidth: Due to the character count limit being higher on DW, it might be tempting to toss the whole thing in one comment and leave it. However, we ask that you split the application up into at least two comments- the first containing your player information and (if you want) basic character info, the rest in another comment (or more, if you wish). This is to avoid having entire applications spanning the page and making it huge.

Splitting them up will make it easier for mods to process the applications. Thank you!

Character
Name: Cheyenne

Wing Color: Ash Grey
Physical Appearance: Cheyenne has blonde hair with large bouncy curls that hang to a little over shoulder length. Her eyes are always covered by a white cloth due to her abilities (explained below).

Current Characters at Luceti: Portgas D. Ace | apping Zeff and Trisha Elric

Character

Name: Portgas D. Ace
Fandom: One Piece
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Time Period: Chapter 574 (post-death)
Wing Color: Orange with red tips
History: Wiki page
Personality: Ace's personality was greatly influenced by his two foster brothers, Luffy and Sabo. Before he met them, Ace wondered if he should have been born, since he had the blood of Gol D. Roger in him. That man was considered a demon, and Ace asked people what they would do if Roger had a son. The replies were usually "he should just die" or "apologize for being alive". Due to comments like these, Ace gathered a great dislike for Roger. Since he thought Roger did nothing for him, he took his mother's name, Portgas, since she gave her life to let Ace live.

As a child, Ace was incredibly mean and cold toward people. The only person he was kind to was Sabo. The two both had great dreams of becoming pirates, and had been stealing money and treasures for five years. When Luffy came into his life, Ace was cold and rude to him, and even spat in his face. He would just leave him in dangerous situations, and not care at all what happened to him. But when Luffy discovered the stash of money Ace and Sabo had been hiding, Ace thought Luffy should be killed so no one would find out. But shortly after, a pirate Ace and Sabo stole from came to get revenge. Ace abandoned Luffy without a second thought, and Luffy was kidnapped and beaten into telling where the money was. After Ace moved the money (he thought Luffy would talk), Sabo told Ace that Luffy had kept his mouth shut. Ace, angered, went to go get Luffy back. He fought against pirates twice his size and they had weapons, but refused to back down. His determination and courage are that strong and unwavering. After the fight, Ace angrily asked why Luffy didn't talk. Luffy said it was because he wanted to be Ace's friend since he didn't want to be alone, that Ace was the only person he could rely on. Ace then asked him if he (Luffy) wanted Ace to live, and Luffy said yes. That was the first time someone had ever told Ace they wanted him to live, when everyone else had said it would be better if Roger's son was dead. This gave Ace a purpose to live, not just to be a pirate, but for Luffy. As time progressed, Ace and Sabo became closer to Luffy, the bond between the three growing even stronger. They even drank sake together to become brothers. But when Sabo's father came to take Sabo back home, in the city of nobles, Ace was very saddened by this. And when the trash heap near the city where Sabo now lived was going to be burned down, Ace did everything he could to make sure that Luffy would stay safe. When a pirate injured Luffy, Ace screamed as loud as he could for them not to touch Luffy, and that was where he first showed signs of haki. Dadan. their foster mother, soon came to help them, but Ace wouldn't leave the fight. He couldn't stand the thought of his little brother being hurt like that, and he wanted to prevent the enemmy from hurting his dear ones. He said the thought of losing his loved ones was scary to him. After the fire, Sabo left his home to live as a pirate. But on that day, the tenryuubito were stopping at the island. Sabo's boat got in the way of their's, so they fired at it with a cannon. This was the death of Ace's dear brother, and was extremely angered, screaming that he was going to kill the bastard who murdered Sabo. He had to be tied down so he wouldn't go crazy. When he got a letter from Sabo that was mailed before he set out, it told Ace why he was leaving, and to look after Luffy. That was the first time Ace had ever cried, and he then vowed to Luffy that he wouldn't die. Then who would take care of his weak little brother? His brothers were that important to him, they took up a majority of his life.

When Ace grew up, he got a tattoo on his left arm, of his name with an "S" crossed out, as a tribute to his deceased brother. He always wears his loyalties on his sleeves to show how much he cares for and respects people. He later does the same thing with Whitebeard's tattoo, and never wears a shirt to show just how much pride he takes in it. When he set out at seventeen to be a pirate, he was setting out to be the best. Ace was the kind who would always show off, and really let his power be known. He eventually gained a crew who completely trusted him, and would follow him anywhere, even after he joined the Whitebeard pirates, they were still with him then. But if his crew was somehow put in danger, like when Whitebeard showed up, Ace will give his crew a chance to escape. Ace would stay behind and fight to make sure he wouldn't go after them. He doesn't want to see his crew harmed, and he'll fight to the death to make sure that no one gets hurt.

Ace wanted to be the best, and that even meant doing crazy things like trying to kill Whitebeard. To him, this seemed like the best way to prove his strength to the world, by killing the most powerful man alive. But to do so, he had to get past Jinbei, a good friend of Whitebeard's. Ace fought Jinbei for five days straight, with no breaks. This shows his strong determination to see a fight all the way through, and that he's not one to give up easily at all. Though it ended in a tie, he still managed to pick himself up to try and fight Whitebeard so his crew wouldn't be harmed. Ace has incredible care for his nakama, strong determination to keep them safe, and the courage to stand up to anything he feels is threatening. Even after he was put on their ship, he never stopped trying to kill Whitebeard. He attempted (and failed so badly) more than one hundred times, which shows his great dedication to a task. He was extremely cold to everyone on the ship until Marco and Thatch tried warming up to him. It was because of them that Ace decided to stop trying to kill Whitebeard, and become one of his "sons". This is when he realized that he didn't want fame or power or anything like that. Ace just wanted a place where people would accept him for who he is, and not judge him based on who his father is. Ace began taking pride in being a son of Whitebeard, and would beat up anyone who talked bad about Whitebeard. He had that much respect and love for his father.

Ace was immediately accepted by the Whitebeard pirates, and formed a deep trust with them all, especially Thatch and Marco. They were true brothers like Sabo and Luffy, which is why Ace became extremely angered when Blackbeard murdered his dear friend Thatch. Ace was so readily accepted, that crew members even wanted him to become the Second Commander. He was surprised since everyone said no one would have any complaints against it. he eventually took the position, and was an outstanding Commander, respected by all crew members, and he equally respected them back for thinking he was a good choice for the position. It's very easy for Ace to be liked by people, and respected. Mostly because he'll try to treat them as well as they treat him.

Current Characters at Luceti: Portgas D. Ace | apping Trisha Elric

Character

Name: Zeff
Fandom: One Piece
Gender: Male
Age: Mid-forties
Time Period: Post timeskip
Wing Color: Dark red
History: http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Zeff
Personality: Take Sanji, add about 20-30 years to him, take away the love of women, and you’ve got Zeff. No, seriously. He’s like an older, grumpier version of Sanji. He’s got an extremely foul mouth, he’s violent to people around him, and he is one HELL of a cook. But he’s also an extremely serious guy who hardly ever smiles, and usually looks like he’s glaring. In fact, the emotions he shows most are his incredibly top temper, which usually results in a bit of violence, and his serious and authoritative, firm hold over the Baratie. That restaurant means a lot to him, as it was his dream to make one if he ever got off the rock he was stuck on with Sanji when they were starving. He, like Sanji, finds food and cooking extremely important, and they share the ideal of feeding anyone who’s hunger, be it pirate or marine. In fact, when he was stealing from a ship in his younger pirate days, he kicked a member of his crew for trying to steal a bag of food.

Though Zeff may appear rough and unkind, he actually cares about people. He just has a hard time of showing it. Though, in his restaurant, everyone greatly respects him as a cook, and are glad to work under him. The most important one being Sanji. Zeff is the closest thing to a father Sanji has, though they hardly ever act like a family. They argue and fight physically on a regular basis, often getting other chefs involved. But deep down, he truly does care for Sanji, he just has a weird way of showing it. Rather than saying “I think you should leave the Baratie to go fulfill your dream of finding All Blue”, he says “You’re an annoyance and you ruin the service here, get out!” or something along those lines. He treated all of the chefs on the Baratie as his crew, even if he wasn’t a pirate anymore. They all cared about food and cooking enough to want to join a strict restaurant like his, and that meant a lot to him. But Zeff often had to step in and play the parent to separate the fights between the chefs. Which were mostly between Sanji and another chef. This annoyed him that Sanji was always getting in fights with the chefs and customers, not to mention flirting with the ladies. He often used those reasons for why Sanji should just leave, but they never quite worked.

Character

Name: Trisha Elric
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Time Period: post-death
Wing Color: Lavender
History: http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Trisha_Elric
Personality: *Please note that Trisha died before we could really get to know her, so there isn't a large amount of information on her personality.

~~The cutest fucking moeblob anyone has ever seen in that series, except for Elicia.~~ Trisha is an extremely kind person, and a very loving mother and wife. She loved Hohenhiem, even though he was a Philosopher's Stone, and took great pride in their children. Although she was a very kind person, she also was a bit feisty, often making light quips at Hohenhiem when he didn't feel he had the right to be near his children, as well as keeping up with her rowdy kids, and Hohenhiem, a bit of a recluse. Trisha also likes to do things as surprises, as when she called a photographer over and didn't even tell Hohenhiem. She also gives no shits about him being the Philosopher's Stone, and loved him for the person he was. She always tried to be honest with people around her, especially with Hohenhiem, to make sure he knew that she loved him. She remained loyal to him, as well, even though there was never a guarantee he would ever come home, or if she could even see him again. Even after death, she waited.

This girl knows when she needs to be a mother, put her foot down and give her family some good discipline. She scolds her boys for messing up their dad's study and drawing on the floor, even though he wasn't even home. Trisha also had to be a bit bossy in order to get her kids to listen, and to get Hohenhiem to stop being such a recluse. Again, back to the photographer. Getting him out of his study for family bonding stuff. To her, family was everything. She cared about all of them so much, and didn't like seeing them hurt or in pain. This is why she constantly tried to tell Hohenhiem that even how he was, it was okay for him to be around Ed and Al. Trisha is one of the most earnest people you will ever meet. Kinda that "wear your heart on your sleeve" person. She always let her feelings be known, especially around her family. She was proud of her sons, greatly in love with her husband, and loved to brag about how great her sons were. They could do alchemy at the young ages of four and three, and always praised them about how good they were becoming.

Character

Name: Daniel ‘Oz’ Osbourne

Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Gender: Male

Age: 19/20

Time Period: Ep. 4x14, after he’s been traveling for about 3 months.

Wing Color: Midnight blue with silver tips

History: Character Wiki Entry

Personality:

Oz is the stalwart, steady Scooby. In the midst of Sunnydale’s willfully ignorant population, Oz is the quiet, unexpected observer who sees a great deal more than anyone realizes. It’s not that he avoids the limelight. As the lead guitarist for The Dingoes Ate My Baby, he has no trouble directing himself in front of an audience. But with his quiet, taciturn nature, Oz manages to field the attention without ever being the center of it. Incredibly hard to phase, he responds to the weird and the wacky (and the not-so-occasionally horrific) with a laconic calm that is nearly unshakeable.

Or, at least, that’s how it seems.

Oz is shot in the arm, witnesses the dusting of a vampire, discovers the existence of magic and all the many creatures that go bump in the night, and then finds out that he, himself, is one of them after his teething cousin bites him…and turns him into a werewolf. He faces the end of the world (multiple times), and any number of threats to himself and his friends, and he does so with an extraordinary level of calm. In fact, he rarely even raises an eyebrow as events unfold around him. Yet as his relationships with Willow and the other Scoobies grow, the depth of those still waters slowly becomes clear. Terrified of his own incredibly dangerous transformation and madly in love with Willow, Oz is in a constant state of conflict with himself. He masks it well, preferring to let the attention stay elsewhere, instead channeling it into careful, quiet self-control. He weighs every word before he speaks. He looks before he acts. And he locks himself up with every full moon in order to protect the people around him.

For Oz, it’s the people in his life that take the highest priority. Demons may come and apocalypse might loom, but he can be the stalwart stone if the people he cherishes are safe. Usually, any turbulence in his peace is demonstrated by quiet “dramatic gestures,” such as standing up from the couch in surprise when Willow tells him she wants to sleep with him, or starting to walk out of the room when the team worries that his wolfy self might be responsible for maulings going on in town. His protests or outbursts are generally as controlled as the rest of him. However, there are a few points where that laconic cool collapses, and it always involves Willow. When she’s captured by the mayor, he sends a table of supplies crashing to the floor when Wesley tries to argue that saving her is less important than keeping information that could be traded for her release. When Veruca threatens Willow’s life, Oz keeps enough of himself present to fight her even when he transforms into a wolf, ripping her throat out to keep Willow safe. And, once he’s learned to control his wolf form, it’s finding out that Willow is with someone else that breaks his willpower and ends up transforming him even without the full moon.

Whatever else she is to him, Willow is his anchor. Their relationship is far from perfect, but there’s a light in her that he cherishes. Chronically unambitious, it’s Willow who gives him the will and determination to be more. For her, he will strive to study, to learn, to protect, and to control, forcing his wolfish side into submission. For her, he would give up the world itself.

Strengths:

Physical - As a werewolf he has supernatural strength, speed and stamina. He also has heightened senses in both forms, which allows him to notice scents that a normal human would miss (like smelling Willow’s fearful scent from the highway when she was kidnapped by Spike, or smelling her on Tara after she and Tara were together).

Mental - Oz is a genius. During a high school career day, Willow is specially selected as a potential recruit for a highly secret and highly selective software company. Unlike the other Sunnydale students who were all sorted by the career day test, the recruiters explain that they’ve been watching her and her progress for some time. When she steps into the small room to wait for the company’s executive, she finds Oz snacking on hor dourves…the only other Sunnydale student who was qualified.

When his lack of ambition causes him to fail his senior year, he rejoins the rest of the scoobies for a second try. Once Willow comes to terms with this, she proudly declares that he’s, “…the highest-scoring person ever to fail to graduate!”

Emotional - Oz’s calm demeanor is almost completely unflappable. Despite the many strange things he experiences, he meets almost every one with ironic detachment. When shot in the arm, he is in shock, but he still manages to laugh it off with a kind of disbelieving calm. The first time he sees a vampire dusted, Willow starts to empathize, stating that she knows it’s hard to believe, but he only responds that “Actually, it explains a lot.” Even finding out that he’s a werewolf is met with quiet and measured changes to his lifestyle in order to protect those around him. When faced with the end of the world, Willow actually begs him to panic with her instead of being “ironic detachment guy.”

Weaknesses:

Physical - Unless it’s a night with a full moon, he’s your standard, fragile human. He can throw a punch, and he’s been known to cooperatively slay vampires with the team when Buffy is otherwise occupied, but he’s not much use against super-powered foes.

Mental - Oz is lazy. Or, well, not lazy so much as unambitious. Perfectly capable of succeeding in academic and mental endeavors, he has no desire to actually do so. With the recruiters, he explains that he tests well, but that he has no desire to get a job… at least, not unless it has something to do with his music. Later, when facing incompletes during his senior year, he skips the makeup classes he should have taken over the summer in order to graduate, landing him back in high school for another year.

Emotional - Despite his epic self-control over his emotions and (later) his wolfish transformations, his greatest motivator is also his main weakness. Willow gives him a reason to maintain control over himself, but it’s jealousy over her that can completely unwind him. When she cheats on him with Xander and, later, when he comes back from traveling for six months to find her romantically involved with Tara, he completely falls apart. He loves her completely, and this gives her the ability to both build him up and send him spiraling out of control.

It felt strange to have his own place again. Strange to call one, singular space home after three months of traveling. It wasn’t comforting, really…not when he hadn’t achieved what he’d set out to do…but at least he wasn’t scrambling for a place to wait out the full moon. The cage had been ready and waiting when he’d arrived, already set up in Cordelia’s apartment. For Angel, but it worked well enough for him. One size fits all monsters.

His hand closed around one of the door’s bars, tightening until knuckles whitened. He hadn’t been sure if his body would obey the moon in this strange place, but he didn’t doubt it now. He could feel it thrumming under his skin as sunset approached. It felt like fire, ready to consume him from the inside out, and his heart raced with the excitement and apprehension it created. He would change, and this time there wasn’t any place he could run to to get away from it.

“…Oz?” Buffy’s voice sounded distant, pulling him back from his thoughts. “You okay there?”

“Hmm?” It was a hum, quietly voiced as he turned his distracted gaze back at the slayer. She was different, but the same, arms crossed as she watched him from the doorway. There was a delay as the question registered. “Just…thinking.”

“You gonna be okay with the whole lone wolf thing? The Malnosso have kindly provided us with the finest selection of Bollywood films for your movie-night-in pleasure.”

He gave her the briefest of lopsided smiles. “Not the Bollywood, Buffy. No one deserves that.”

“Laugh all you want. I’ll have you know Wi-“ her eyes widened just slightly as she caught herself and dodged the name. “-w…we killed many a night of boredom with those movies.”

His smile faded a little, but he kept it in his voice. “I don’t doubt that.”

“Fine.” She threw up her hands in mock resignation. “Movie free it is. But consider it an open invitation.”

“Thanks.”

She left him alone, then, with a backward glance over her shoulder before she closed the door behind her, and he turned his attention back to the cage. Close now. The heat of it was washing over his skin, overwhelming all of his senses and battling for control even as he tried to force it back.

They’d said there was a cure in Tibet. If only he could have gotten there-
But there was no point in if onlys.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped inside the cage and let it clang shut behind him, the lock clicking into place with cold finality. Leaning against the door, he pressed his forehead to the bars, the cool steel feeling icy against his skin. So, so close…

A few minutes later, the lonely, frustrated howl of a wolf would echo through the halls of Apartment Six and up to the full moon waiting overhead.

http://eyesofpity.livejournal.com/5730.html

Personality:

Estelle is very strong willed and adventurous. Since she was raised mostly by her father for more than half of her life, she has learned to be independent and take on responsibilities that might have fallen to her mother before. She is far from what you might call girly, however, always being quite a tomboy since she was little. Some of her favorite things to do are exploring, picking up strange bugs, fishing, collecting sneakers, and getting dirty enough that her father stopped bringing her jewelry and dresses. That isn't to say that she has anything against it. It's just rather cumbersome to climb trees in a long skirt. She can also cook, though haphazardly and with mixed results, although her omlettes are said to be good. It doesn't bother her in the slightest to be helpful. In fact, she enjoys bringing a smile to other people's faces. She gets excited about little things and big things alike, and likes sharing her enthusiasm with others.

Her father has had a great influence on Estelle, too. Though she remains oblivious of his history for most of the first game, his work as a bracer has instilled many morals in her, and a sense of what is right. She wants to be as brave as her mother was when she died shielding her in the clock tower, too. Estelle dreams of becoming a bracer like her father, even though she is quick to complain about how much it takes him away from home. That is because family and friendship is very important to her. Even though she was iffy about it at first, she wouldn't accept not having Joshua in the family, and has gone as far as to adopt Tita as a sibling down the line as well when she learned the girl lived with her grandfather and was lonely. She is pretty sharp at picking up the nuances in people's behavior, and because of this she is very empathetic. Though sometimes her temper can get the better of her, given the time to think about it she is pretty good at seeing where someone is coming from. She tries to take things into account so that she can see where someone is coming from, and does her best to be understanding of other people's feelings.

Estelle is also lazy. It comes down to what she is able to focus on, usually what she finds interesting or important. Sleeping through Sunday School is quite normal for her, and a lot of the things that she had to learn about for being a Bracer may have taken a while to sink in, but it's mostly the act of repetition that bores her. She remembers things pretty well when put into practice, and that is when they tend to stick, so she does much better with trial by fire than actual study. She can be kind of a ditz when things come up that she might should have paid attention to but just didn't catch, when if she would just try and put her mind to it, she would catch on. Because she is so optimistic, she is easily tricked, as well, and just won't catch onto the things that other people might.

Estelle is actually pretty smart despite that. Not in the technical sense, as she has trouble understanding even the most basic of orbal inventions, but she is clever and attentive in her job and of her friends. As a Bracer, she and Joshua take notes on all of their quests and jobs, and a lot of times she has been shown to catch clues that other people missed, or that Joshua thought she wouldn't have noticed. She just doesn't always speak up on them, showing that despite her impulsiveness, when she tries, she can understand when or not something needs to be said. This also ties into her understanding of others. Estelle knows that Joshua has a past that he is not entirely comfortable speaking about or even remembering, and she has expressed many times that she intends to keep her promise to let him bring it up on his own terms. She has a lot of patience, though it can still be tried.

When Estelle gets mad, she tends to do her best to try and reign it in, but sometimes she snaps. She's thrown someone through the door of a bar before realizing she went a little over the top, and she has no problems picking a fight with bullies. But she doesn't just want to stand up to them, she'll tell them why what they're doing is wrong and what a much better solution would be. She's optimistic and opinionated, preferring to opt for the 'Well that's stupid, you should have just done this instead and everything will be fine!' route, instead of expecting the worst out of people and situations. For her, there is no point in dwelling in gloom and doom and letting that get in the way of getting things done. Whether for herself or for others, when a bad situation looms, she looks for the simplest way of resolving it in everyone's favor.

It's because she cares so much for others that she takes on a lot of worry for them, and tends to do her best at cheering them up or rooting out the source of the problem so she can fix it. Sometimes this is even bad because she can be nosy about what is going on, whether or not it's proper for her to stick her nose into things. Half of it is genuine caring, but a lot of the times, she just hates being left out of the loop. When her father kept things from her, every time that she found out about something, she would have a mini little fit. When she overhears things, she has to ask what's going on. She can also have a tendency to tease others about things that she learns, though generally this is playfully and with friends.

Estelle can get sad, though. She tries not to let it show in the instance it happens, but makes sure to give herself time to figure out why it is she is feeling the way that she is when she has the time to do it. Estelle is very practical about her feelings. Sad, mad, happy, scared... They are real emotions she wants to acknowledge and then grow from that. She is actually quite likely to talk it out with someone she feels close with, so long as she feels comfortable doing so. It is quite frustrating to her that she sees almost the opposite happening with Joshua, when he bottles his feelings up.

There is only one emotion that has taken her a while to get a handle on, and that is the embarrassment and slowly dawning realization that she has feelings for Joshua. Estelle let herself stew in denial for quite some time over it, showing that she can easily become flustered if she feels put on the spot and her thoughts exposed. Despite this, the more that she realized that she cared for him, the more that she came to terms with it, and even decided to tell him when their battle to save the Queen is over. It's partially because Joshua himself resolves to tell her about his past that she feels she will be able to tell him so honestly. Regardless of the outcome, Estelle is able to find conviction in her decisions once she makes up her mind about them.

And that brings us to how stubborn she can be. It would be easier to move a mountain sometimes than it is to get Estelle to change her mind. She's very reasonable about average every day things, but if she wants to tag along with someone to a dangerous place to be sure that they're okay, the only way to keep her from going is to stay home as well. It's all well-intentioned, but her hard-headedness can get her into trouble as well. She has the potential to take on things that might be over her ability to do, but in her mind she just has to do her best and that will be enough. When Joshua tells her at the end of the game about his past and the sins he has committed, she absolutely refuses to let him shut her out of his life, even if he thinks it's for her own safety. When faced with a moment that the things she says may make or break the situation, she pushes aside her hesitation and says exactly what's on her mind. This is why she was able to admit to him in the end that she loves him.
