WARNING: If I don't update for a while, I haven't necessarily forgotten about the storyline. I'm just busy with life or struggling somewhere.

Presently a college student, aspiring historian and college professor, and hobbyist writer/aspiring novelist. Very much a Kingdom Hearts fan, so expect to see some of that. I'm also a fan of MOTHY's Evillious Chronicles, and Vocaloid in general. But I like a lot of things, and you can expect to--eventually--find out what they are. I tend to draw inspiration from sources at hand and may use plot devices I find for my own work, but I'll never intentionally rip off someone else's hard work.

I'd very much appreciate reviews, and I'll do my best to keep a conversation from them. Like with others, feedback is very important. So if you've got the time please drop a review or a PM. If you have questions about an existing story, I'll be happy to answer them in the best way possible. That is, of course, provided the answer doesn't interfere with a surprise later in the plot.

Also note--I'll try to give reviews the best and most often I can. However, as stated above, I am a college student. If I don't respond immediately, it's because of that, or some kind of business came up that I couldn't get out of.

I can be found elsewhere on the internet, so you can just ask. Some of my original work can be found on https://www.fictionpress.com/wanderingsilverrose or on if you're looking for my art.

Other

Name- Cari, Rose, Cari-Rose, Lilith

Gender- I doth be female, thank you.

Age- 26

Hobbies- Character development, drawing, reading, thinking of new plot devices, thinking in general, coming up with awesome prank ideas that I only seem to ever try to use in stories, listening to music, staying up when I should be asleep, daydreaming, and learning new things. Oh, and most importantly, breathing.

Likes- Books, music, windy days (overcast is optional), cheese, food, watermelon (like a certain white-haired captain of the Gotei 13), garlic, listening to others tell interesting stories, swords and other assorted bladed weapons, vampires, magic, fire, random trivia that doesn't do much but collect dust, and interesting things.

Dislikes- Overly noisy people or places, listening to people go off on tangents or rants, Mary Sues (especially when I accidentally created one), people bashing something with no good reason, trolls, extreme temperatures and high humidity, when cold groceries are out of place in a store.

Genres- Primarily fantasy, action, adventure, and horror.

(This person is a nightmare fetishist, be warned. If she has or says anything that seems more than just a little creepy, that's just her other interests poking through. She's generally, legitimately, a nice person. She also tends to stalk articles on tvtropes.org, and can be caught quoting them, as well.)

While many original characters do show up in my fanfiction, I don’t generally think of them as author avatars. Instead, I tend to think of them as their own selves, even while representing certain facets of my own personality at times (largely the two named Cari Neil and Rose Janus-Gale). It should be noted that ages tend to swap around depending on what setting they happen to be placed in.

Organization XIII came and saw all of this at some point: Sephiroth held me at blade-point when we met--I may or may not have called him General Prissy. Pikachu woke me up once or twice--apparently, it's his method of getting people out of bed who don't like to. Banica Conchita stopped in for dinner a few times--I had to restrain her before she ate my cat. Haku Yowane poked around for sake--I don't have any of it. Rangiku Matsumoto came to hide from doing paperwork--that still failed. Ron Weasley fell asleep on the kitchen floor--I think he was also drooling. I kicked Hanabusa Aido out after he cleaned out the fridge--next time, I'm spiking a drink with laxatives. Percy Jackson nearly flooded my bathroom at least five times--not taking him up on his offer of cleaning the toilet again, or the pipes. Vash the Stampede tried and failed to hide under my bed once from an angry mob--whatever happened, I don't want to know. Train Heartnet has all but completely moved in on my tiny corner of the world--he apparently sleeps anywhere. I'm still trying to get Artemis Fowl II to ask Holly Short out on a date--for a logical guy, he's too stubborn to listen to reason. Albel Nox is presently trying to convince me to let him use the basement of the apartment building for training practice--it's not working. And I'm still trying to clean the drain pipe out from when America caused that last noodle incident--we agreed there will be no more playing with noodle implements in the kitchen. After this and many other incidents, they all must think I'm insane. Well, it's true.

(If you seriously believe any of those events stated above, we need to see a psychologist soon...)

I am that girl, the one who likes books more than boys. The one who pretends not to be sad, just to make others happy. The one who always wonders what she did wrong. The one who writes to escape. The one who just wants to help. The one that really wants to make a difference. The one that sticks to her values. The one that refuses to believe that this is it. The one that will do anything to make a better tomorrow.

I am the girl...that doesn't go to school dances, or games, and when I do go, I sit in a corner and read a book. I am the girl that people look through when I say something. I am the girl that spends most of her free time reading, writing, or doing other activities that most teenagers wouldn't call normal. I am the girl that people call weird, and a freak either behind my back or to my face. I am the girl that doesn't spend all her time on MySpace, or talking to a girlfriend on a cellphone or regular phone. I am the girl that hasn't been asked out in a year. I am the girl that has stopped to smell the flowers and jump and splash in the rain.

But I am also the girl who knows and is proud to be who she is, doesn't care if people call her weird (it's a compliment), who loves reading and writing and doing the things that no one seems to have the time to do any more, who loves and is obsessed with nerdy things that only she would like, who can express herself better with writing than talking, and knows the importance of the little things in life that most overlook! Copy and paste if you can relate!
