This assignment was for us to write a character biography with ourselves as the protagonist.
She is a relatively quiet girl who enjoys people watching more than being a part of "the crowd". She is, at her core, very shy, but she works hard every day to overcome the intense shyness that overtook most of her younger years. Because she is shy and quiet, though, some people think she is a bit snobby and perhaps feels like she is too good for everyone else. One of her deepest secrets, though, is that she usually doesn't feel good enough. She has always wanted to fit in and be a part of the crowd, but her shyness always pulls her away from that.
She has a deep faith that she doesn't flaunt, but she lives it in hopes that others will see it in her actions and demeanor. It's not always easy, though, because she has a biting, sarcastic wit that some think is hilarious, but others sometimes feel is hurtful. (She wishes this wasn't so, though, because she would rather cut off her own arm than hurt anyone ever.)
For those who see the humor in what she says at those moments, though, a lovely surprise awaits, because one of her secret dreams was to be a stand up comic. Perhaps she still will one day.
She often thinks too much and gets trapped in her own imaginings and thoughts, but when she has her "blonde moments", you would never guess she is as intelligent as she truly is. Rather than flaunt her smarts, she generally just stays quiet. When she finds a peer group on the same intellectual wavelength, though, she delights in it and basks in conversation, mild debate, and speculation.
Her biggest joy in life is to help others, whether it is to make them smile when they feel down or to aid in solving a problem that plagues them. She is a solution-finder, and while she is always willing to be a listening ear to those who need it, she has to reign herself in from giving advice for which she wasn't asked.
Her family and friends are her most cherished possessions in the world, though she does enjoy a good piece of cheesecake now and then, too.
