"A ninja waits until the dead of night, when the enemy sleeps and drops his guard, when his weapons lie forgotten in the stillness of the night, that is the moment for a ninja to strike."

Name: Ari. Or Mari, depending on which one of me is in control. (It varies.) Indeed.

Age: Old soul, or so I've been told.

I am a girl, with Dominican blood. I'm from the D, so FEAR ME!

(Not really, come on. Do people really still think that? Just because I carry a switchblade to school...)

Not religious, at all. Deal with it, and don't try to change it, and we'll be just fine.

Music wise, if it sounds good, I'll listen to it.

I'm pissed that I'm not totally fluent in Spanish, but I'm learning every day courtesy of my awesome Tia y Carlos Mencia Pandora.

I AM THE Marvel Turtle, Kunoichi in training, Foot Clan Elite rank; expert Katana wielder, novice Bo twirler, intermediate nunchuck slinger, beginner Sai spinner.

I attend Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters, and I'm a card carrying Avenger who's adopted father is Nick J. Fury. Steve Rogers and Leonardo Hamato fight for my attention ;-) But I'm seeing Dick Grayson and Aqualad on the side. It's very scandalous. Someone might die- I'm counting on it.

Loki tutors me in magic on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Nightcrawler and Wally West are my adopted brothers. I'm three quarters Vulcan and I'm part of the wizard exchange program at Hogwarts, and I rotate between Ravenclaw and Slytherin because I'm an evil genius. I learned archery from Legolas and Hawkeye, and I chill with Spiderman and the Joker on the weekends. I am the new Batgirl. I ate Thanksgiving dinner with the TMNT. Gabriel Grey lives in the apartment across the street and we have dinner on Sundays.

I'm a ninja, a super hero slash villain, with a best friend that lives in my head as a devious, crazy voice. Her name is Marianna and she's a sassy, thieving liar. I don't know what I'd do without her.

(Aw, you really mean it?) Oh stop showing off. Give me my fingers back.

Angst and blood is the new romance, the more disturbing the better. Heroes are most awesome when they snap and go bad. Gotham is my dream vacation. Insanity is beautiful year round there, I hear.

In my perfect world, Robin was raised by Slade. Kovu fulfilled Scar's legacy and ripped Kiara's throat out. Leonardo joins the Shredder and BREAKS RAPHAEL'S SPINE IN A BATTLE TO THE DEATH. Danny Phantom turns evil and rules the Ghost Zone. Nightcrawler embraces his demonic heritage. Jack accepted Pitch's offer. Harry and Voldemort's ghost party it up in Slytherin. Kaldur becomes Black Manta's devilishly handsome protege. Loki wins, just for a little while. Scarlett Witch gets burned at the stake after M day. Elsa is the villain she was ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO BE and Arendelle stays a frozen wasteland. :-)

I spend 95% of my time in my fandoms and the other five in the real world to breathe and eat. I don't sleep. I don't do homework- I WRITE.

I'm a notoriously horrible updater, but if you can stick with it you won't be disappointed LOLZ. OC's all over the place, cause what's the point of writing about a fandom if you can't put yourself there? I'll try not to make them Mary Sue ish.

In my X Men fics, Kurt is NOT FUZZY! I don't know where the hell that concept came from and why everybody seems to be okay with it, but I'm SO not. That's one of my biggest pet peeves with that series. I mean, what the hell.

HarMione, Leorai, Decembralix, Legolauriel, Romanogers, Syelle, Jelsa, and others.

Ron WeaselyX THIS BRICK, April O'NeilX THIS SLEDGE HAMMER, RaphaelX THIS BUTCHER KNIFE, Casey JonesX THIS UZI :-)

Blanket disclaimer: I own nothing but a generation two kindle, an android phone with a tmnt wallpaper, and ten fingers with minds of their own. My fics might be offensive and graphic, but that's how I like them -

I slash occasionally. Because come on, what's hotter than two sexy dudes getting it on? I CHALLENGE you to dispute that image.

If you ever come to Michigan and see an angry looking light skinned girl with glasses, headphones, fingerless gloves, wearing a Marvel sweatshirt and a TMNT belt with a tablet in her lap and talking to herself, just shout "VENUS!" And you'll get a free hug, because that's me.

I've planned how to extensively kill nearly everybody in my school, but lucky for them my meds even...me...the hell...out...

I FINALLY KNOW WHY A RAVEN IS LIKE A WRITING DESK. LIFE MAKES SENSE.

AS OF 12/27!!!!

Complete account overhaul! Everything that sucks is being trashed, and everything that's gotten old is getting the dust blown off. I've grown as a writer, and I want to show that.
