Day 11 - What Character Would You Say You Are Most Like?I don't believe that I am exactly like one character in particular, nobody is an exact clone of anyone else, even if they are fictional. The two characters that I have identified with most over the years are Nymphadora Tonks and Luna Lovegood. I also think that I have traits that belong to other characters as well. Like Remus Lupin, I have the tendency to underestimate myself. I'm often surprised that people actually want to associate with me, I don't believe myself to be very tolerable or likeable. So because of that, I think I cling to those who mean the most to me and I put up with their flaws because I'm just so grateful to have them around. I have a great dislike for people in general and socialising, much like Severus Snape. I find them to be insufferable and I find it a lot easier to be alone sometimes. I often hide behind my humour like Ron Weasley, I use it to diffuse situations and take away any tension. I despise awkward silences and my sarcasm and wit comes into play. Lastly, Hermione Granger and I share our logical minds. We both have the ability to look past minute detail and think about situations and problems from a logical point of view.
As soon as she was introduced I knew that I'd found a resemblance in Tonks. She was different, she liked to stand out from the crowd. Attending the high school that I did prevented me from expressing myself through my physical appearance, so I had to find other ways. I would often wear necklaces on long chains that could be hidden beneath my blouse, and anklets that could be tucked into my socks. I would also wear bracelets that could either be hidden under my jump and blazer in the winter months or could be easily missed when sitting next to my watch. I also took guilty pleasure in wearing brightly coloured and interesting underwear, knowing that I was the only one who would see it. I'm a strong believer that your mood affects your appearance, which is shown through Tonks and her Metamorphmagus abilities. My hair has been dyed so many different colours and has been countless lengths. I had a regrettable experience with a member of the opposite gender and in response I cut my hair, I took about 20cm of it myself late one night. When I feel like shit and just want to feel sorry for myself, my hair goes unwashed and remains flat. My jewellery all holds important meaning for me, I dislike wearing it for superficial purposes.
I consider myself an open minded and accepting person. I try not to judge people by their looks or by word of mouth. I like to think that that is a trait that Tonks and I have in common. We both give people a chance, we don't jump to conclusions and we form our own opinions, we don't let others do that for us. We both also wish that people would give us more credit and respect and not patronise us due to our age. We both have exquisite taste in men and prefer them to be older.
Luna is weird and artistic, much like me. She enjoys making her own creations and is often lost in her own world. She doesn't let the beliefs or interests of others change hers. She knows what she believes and what matters to her, and while she respects others for theirs, she knows what matters to her. She is also thought to be odd and different because of how she dresses, something that frequently happens to me. She is also smart and intellectual, but not traditionally. Luna and I have quite a lot in common.
Until next time fellow humans....
