Hello! I'm... A Phoenix Tear, who lives inside Gaara's gourd. You may call me Shia. Shia-chan, I suppose, works as well, right? No? Huh.

I need to update this madness of a profile. It is very wordy. Please don't read it. I put a more mature version of me (21) comments next to some of the stuff I wrote when I was 16 in italics. xD Also, I don't plan on writing any time soon, but I use this to read and write reviews of others.

A wee bit about me:

Age: 21, still hates driving I actually have my license, but I don't use it at all. I even renewed it once!

Favorite Color: red

Favorite Book(s): Harry Potter series, Howl's Moving Castle, Castle in the Air, House of Many Ways, Graceling, The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices, The Lunar Chronicles, The Parasol Protectorate, Leviathan Trilogy This had been edited some to suit my older self preferences as well. =)

Favorite Character: GAARA-SAMA!! Yeah I need to keep this.

Honorable Mention favorite charaters, though NOT (AT ALL) NEARLY AS AMAZING as my favorite (in no particular order): Death the Kid, Zero Kiryu, Toushirou Hitsugaya, Byakuya Kuchiki, Ichigo Kurosaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, Kyo Sohma (Kyonkichi!), Naruto Uzumaki, Black Star, Soul Eater, Tobi because he annoys the heck out of Deidara This are all anime for some reason, I should edit this.

Least Favorite Character who must blow up into a million pieces, although he already did and he quite enjoyed it, even if he died, so he needs to burn and his ashes fed to a shark and then he can drown and be eaten or something really bad, I don't know, I'll work on the most horrible death ever and give it to him: Deidara (NO DEIDARA ALLOWED) OOOOO! I got it. He can be eaten by a shark with a sharingan that does not appreciate his art. Then when he is spit out because he tastes so bad, he can drown. Then burned to ashes by a fireball jutsu made by Itachi, Sasuke, and Kakashi all with their sharingans activated. Then his ashes blow away and attempt to get into Itachi's, Sasuke's, and Kakashi's eyes, but then a tornado comes and screws it up (while Kakashi, Itachi, and Sasuke remain unharmed by this sudden natural disaster); therefore Deidara's goal of getting the sharingan to appreciate his art failed even after his death and it will never come to be. BEAT THAT. HA! Oh my goodness my 16 year old self was quite creative. o.0

Favorite Manga/Anime: That's funny. I'm not choosing. But I can list a few that I have read/watched:

Naruto, Bleach, Vampire Knight, Fruits Basket, Spiral, Fullmetal Alchemist, Special A, The Gentleman's Alliance Cross, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Rurouni Kenshin, Prince of Tennis, Mugen Spiral, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, Soul Eater, Deathnote, Inuyasha, Ouran High School Host Club, Fushugi Yuugi, DN Angel, now I don't feel like typing anymore. ;P I probably don't remember a lot about a lot of these. xD

Favorite Video Game: Tales of Symphonia-- I love the characters and storyline. I also played its sequel, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. I love all the new characters that appeared in that one, too. It was so much shorter than the first one though. Only took me 30 hours to complete, which in actual life time would be a week for me. x) SheenaXZelos, PreseaXGenis, EmilXMarta, and LloydXCollete are my pairings there, do not disturb them. ;) I think I might pick Zelda games as my favorite now. League of Legends is a computer game, so I am counting it separate, but boy I play that lot now. xD

AGH! I now have a tie for favorite video game! Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and it's sequel Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. I love all of these characters here, because I HAVE to start over if they die. ;D Geoffrey, Oscar, Soren, Ike, Boyd, Stefan, Rhys, Lucia, Bastian, Elinica, Tibarn, Naesala, Kieran, Haar, Ranulf, Edward (of course, Ranulf killed him in a chapter and he died and I didn't want to start over... heh... so we cry for Edward), Leonardo, Sothe, Reyson, Leanne, Rafiel, Voulg, Mia, Titania, and that's it... I think. ;o GeoffreyXElincia is my only pairing there. Well, SotheXMicaiah, but I'm not a big Micaiah fan. She always dies on me, and she has to live--main character. Her theme song is "Light On" by David Cook because she uses light magic, and the lyric goes "Try to leave a light on when I'm gone..." and shes usually gone. xD Oscar's theme song is "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" because he is, and Boyd is "Can't Touch This" because every time I use Boyd, he's really good with a hammer and he doesn't get hit a lot by an enemy. Rhys's song is "This Little Light of Mine" because he also uses light magic, but he's a priest/bishop/saint, and that's a religious song, and I usually let him use shine to match it. ;D I'm working on other theme songs-- not that good at them. OH! But when the enemy armor people move, I sing "We were chugging along on Moonlight Bay" (yes, I use chug there) because they move SOOOO slowly. You may think I'm crazy but the characters and story are why I love the game, and this only makes it more fun for me. :DD In the most recent Fire Emblem, I still play favorites, but I don't sing songs. How sad. Clearly this was more fun.

Every time Geoffrey or Oscar is close to dying in battle, I scream "GEOFFREY!!" or "OSCAR!!" and cry. (They are my absolute favorites) I'm a very dramatic video game player. If Ike, Boyd, Rhys, Stefan, or Soren is close to dying, I scream "NOOOOOOO!!" and wave my hands. (They are my favorites) And if anyone else is (on this list), I just pray. Sometimes mumble to myself. (They are the ones I love) I don't really care about the others. I know, kinda mean...SOME sacrifices must be made in the game; kinda the point of it... like Meg...or Fiona... -no comment- I am still pretty dramatic if someone is close to dying, in all honesty. The 3DS version of the game will allow you to play with permanent death off, but I can't do it as an old fashioned FE fan.

I also like The Legend of Zelda series, Windwaker, Twilight Princess, andare the only ones I played though. I quit on Orcania of Time. I know it's supposed to be the best one, but that one just really annoys me. Sorry Zelda fans. ;) I did play up until you have to go get the sages or whatever at the first Earth/Forest temple, so you can't say I never gave it a chance. Super Smash Bros. & Brawl is good too, for a muti-player game. As you can tell, I only have the Nintendo systems, and RPG are kind of limited there, and RPG mostly are the games I like. Blame my brother. He didn't invest in a PS2. =.= I have now played Ocarina of Time 3DS and Skyward Sword as well. I would say SS is my favorite.

Favorite Movies: I love Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy. The first movie is still my favorite, though. I also love The Nightmare Before Christmas, Sweeny Todd, Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbor Totoro (public transportation in the shape of a cat is amazing!!), Lord of the Rings (I have yet to read the books; I'll read them when I have more time, probably), Tangled, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Hercules, Up (and most other Disney/Pixar, but theses are my fav favs. ;D) and probably a few more. Not your biggest movie watcher, but yeah. ;D Yeah I still like these movies. Uh... I think I edited this to add Tangled. I also like The Hobbit now which fits under LOTR.

Favorite T.V. Show: DOCTOR WHO!!!! David Tennant is my favorite Doctor, but Amy and Rory are my favorite companions. They are also one of my favorite couples ever. I prefer Rose as companion to Tennant. Yeah, these notes were added later.

Top 3 Couples Ever: Amy and Rory (Doctor Who), Ron and Hermione (Harry Potter), and Tohru and Kyo (Fruits Basket). They are all so adorable together. Same as above.
