Bonus Material: Birthdays and Zodiac Signs
Alright, so firstly, thank you for all the thoughts, prayers, vibes for my family, I greatly appreciate it. Mom is doing better, she has gotten to the point where she can get out of bed and move around, slowly, obviously, but she is no longer confined to bed. She still has a ways to go (I mean, you don't just bounce back from having an organ removed) but she is on the path towards healing and I think the worst is behind her. My brother got his new inhaler today. He got diagnosed with asthma a few years back, but he hadn't had an attack in years, until about a week ago when he stopped breathing. But, they figured out what was triggering it, they gave him a new prescription for an inhaler, and gave him some equipment for daily breathing treatments. It's going to take a little while to get used to the new routine, but we now know what caused it and what to do to make sure that doesn't happen again.
So, now that Mom has put the worst behind her and we know what to do to get my brother back in good health I've had a little more free time. But I'm still feeling a bit drained (which I guess is understandable) so I'm not in the best headspace to do a lot of writing. But I didn't want to leave y'all on another hiatus because, gurl! That last hiatus I took was MONSTROUS!
Anyways, I'm lounging on the couch, watching random youtube videos (as you do when you're exhausted and bored) and I stumbled across some zodiac sign videos and thought, "hey, that looks like fun." So, here I am, listing off the kiddos birthdates, zodiac signs, and seeing how well they fit or do not fit with their signs. Hopefully I'll get back to actual stories soon, but, here's at least a little bonus material to hopefully keep you guys satisfied until things settle down in my world.
DISCLAIMER: The only actual birth dates I had listed until this point were the Birthday Gang's, because I had them born on July 7th (because it was just too perfect to pass up, given all the canon history with that date). So, I went back and looked at when the other kids were born in respect to the Birthday Gang to figure out approximately when they were born (Bianca is two years younger than Storm, Nashi, and Cato, which means she would have been born sometime in the latter months, because she'd have to be born after July. Evergreen found out she was pregnant on Bianca's birthday, so Lorelle is approximately nine months younger than her. Lucy found out she was pregnant on Lorelle's birthday so Layla is approximately nine months younger than Lorelle, etc.) HOWEVER, I suck at math. I made C's in math my entire school career, and those were usually low C's. (And occasionally a D). So, my math may not be perfect. Go easy on me please!
(Dang, that was a long intro, Raven, get yourself together girl! On to the real material)

Kind (Even though his brother is not)
Hardworking (Yes)
Practical (Yes)

Farrah Rei Lee-Dreyar: July 31st, LEO
Strengths:
Creative (I mean...she can be. It's not one of her defining traits, but she can get creative if she wants to)
Passionate (...let's just say Benedict's a VERY lucky man)
Generous (Very much so. She'll bend over backwards for people)
Warm-Hearted (Yes)
Cheerful (Yeah, for the most part. She definitely has a more optimistic view of the world)
Humorous (Oh, definitely. She loves joking around and picking on people)
Weaknesses:
Arrogant (...yeah, a little bit…)
Stubborn (YUP!)
Self-Centered (...no...not really. She's confident, but I don't think I'd go as far as say she's self-centered. She's too much of a mothering or sisterly soul to be self-centered)
Lazy (Oh, heck no! The girl can work.)
Inflexible (Can be...it can sometimes be difficult to get her to change her mind, but not impossible. She will listen to reason, but it has to be a pretty solid argument to get her to change her mind. I guess it depends on the situation and her mood)
Likes:
Theatre (...maybe? She likes a good show but, as far as classic theatre, I don't know, I think that would be too long of a period of sitting still for her)
Taking Holidays (yeah, she likes her vacays)
Being Admired (YYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!)
Expensive Things (Eh, she's not obsessed with them, but she enjoys a little luxury every now and then)

Responsible (Oh, yeah! He's probably one of the most responsible of the whole bunch.)
Disciplined (Yeah, he's good at keeping a routine. He's not a neat freak per say, but he can keep a clean house)
Self-Control (Until Farrah's involved, LOL!)
Good Managers (Yup. As I said above, he's good a keeping a routine)
Weaknesses:
Know-it-all (Eh...not really)
Unforgiving (...yeah, he can be)
Condescending (Only when someone pisses him off)
Expecting the worst (Yeah, he can be a pessimistic fellow
Likes:
Family (Probably the most important thing for him)
Tradition (Nope! Poor guy got jerked around too much in his childhood to develop any kind of attachment to any traditions)
Music (His whole reason for choosing Sound Magic was because of how much he loves music, so, YEAH this one is accurate)
Understated Status (True. He wants to be respected and well-known, but he doesn't like to be the center of attention all the time.) (Which is why he's the perfect husband for a guild master, he can be helpful to her without ever getting jealous of her)
Quality Craftsmanship (I mean, he does get annoyed when something doesn't work the way it should, so I guess so)
Dislikes:
Almost everything at some point (TTTTRRRRRUUUUUTTTTTHHHHHHH! I about fell out of my chair laughing when I saw this one! THE ACCURACY! LOL!)
Jennabeth Claire Lovelace, (March 3rd) PISCES
Strengths:
Compassionate (Yeah, to a fault, it gets her hurt a lot)
Artistic (Yes)
Intuitive (I mean, it kinda goes with the ghost magic thing)

Wise (Yes and no, she has a strong moral code, but she is naive in believing that everyone else does)
Musical (Yes)
Weaknesses:
Fearful (Yes, poor little bean!)
Overly Trusting (YES!)
Sad (Poor baby)
Desire to escape reality (Yes, when things get difficult she just kinda shuts down)
Can be a victim or a martyr (She sacrifices a lot for her loved ones, especially her ghosts)
Likes:
Being alone (Kinda...)
Sleeping (I mean...who doesn't like sleep?)
Music (Yeah, but she has stage fright, so she doesn't like doing it in front of people
Romance (YES! She's a hopeless romantic.)
Visual Media (I...I guess?)
Swimming (Yeah, it helps her relax)
Spiritual themes (Uh...GHOST MAGIC!)
Dislikes:
Know-it-all (Yeah, she's not a fan of braggers or arrogant people)
Being criticized (She shuts down when this happens)
The past coming back to haunt them (Poor wittle thing...)
Cruelty of any kind (Again, shuts down...)
Sanjay Creed Blair, March 29th ARIES
Strengths:
Courageous (In a way...sometimes more closely resembles stupidity)
Determined (Misplaced, but yes)
Confident (More like arrogance)
Enthusiastic (Not really...)
Optimistic (LIES!)
Honest (LIES!)
Passionate (Misplaced, but yes)

Impatient (TRUTH!)
Moody(TRUTH!)

Inactivity (TRUTH!)
Delays (TRUTH!)
Work that does not use one's talents (TRUTH!)
Nashi Lucy Dragneel: July 7th, CANCER (everyone in the Birthday Gang is a Cancer….what have I done!?)
Strengths:
Tenacious (Y to the E to the S YES!)
Highly Imaginative (...I suppose. She's certainly not the most imaginative of the Birthday Gang which is why I don't often associate this with her, but she can be)
Loyal (Duh! She's Natsu's daughter, what do you expect)
Emotional (Yes. She wouldn't like to admit it, but yes)
Sympathetic (She can be. She'd much rather fix whatever is bothering a person than be a shoulder to cry on, but she can be sympathetic and comforting)
Persuasive (Eh...I mean...she could be. She would need a good reason to try and persuade someone to see things from her point of view, though. If she thinks arguing will be too time consuming than she won't bother, she'll either just move along or punch them in the face)
Weaknesses:
Moody (I mean...yeah...at times…)
Pessimistic (Nah. She has her moments, but she's usually an optimist)
Suspicious (Not really. She's acutely aware that not everyone has the best intentions because of her experiences, but she doesn't automatically expect the worst from people)
Manipulative (She could be if she wanted to be. But she's too much of a straight shooter for that)
Insecure (SHE'S WORKING ON IT, OKAY!)
Likes:
Art (Well, books and literature count as art, so I suppose so)
Home-based hobbies (She does like cooking!)
Relaxing in and near water (Is that water named Storm Fullbuster? If so, then yes!)
A good meal with friends (Anytime with friends is a good time for her, but especially with food!)
Dislikes:
Strangers (I guess, but people don't stay strangers for long around Nashi. Once she knows you aren't going to judge her based on her magic or hurt someone she cares about then you're cool as far as she's concerned)
Any criticism of Mom (INSTANT DEATH! And that goes for Dad, Brother, and Sisters)
Revealing of personal life (Not so much her personal life as her insecurities or fears. She doesn't like showing weakness)
Storm Gray Fullbuster: July 7th, CANCER
Strengths:
Tenacious (Eh, he can be. He's probably the least ambitious of the Birthday Gang, though that is not a high bar to climb.)
Highly Imaginative (True, though his imagination is a bit more practical. His two strongest spells, Cleanse and Freeze, he learned by basically asking himself "Hmm...I wonder if…" so, yeah, he's imaginative)
Loyal (Very much so)
Emotional (They don't call him "Mini Juvia" for no reason)
Sympathetic (See above)
Persuasive (Yes, actually. He just has the disadvantage of being on a team of stubborn people)
Weaknesses:
Moody (Can be)
Pessimistic (Eh...more like practical or pragmatic)
Suspicious (Again, can be. Especially when Nashi is concerned! That's a "touch or hurt my girl, and I kill you!" type of situation.)
Manipulative (Only when he's in a mischievous mood. He rarely behaves in a manipulative way to actually get something he wants. Usually just to pull a prank on someone)
Insecure (Kinda...the only time he gets super insecures is when he's around, oh, I don't know, 15 or 16 years old. Y'know, when he REALLY starts to have strong feelings for a certain fire wizard, but isn't sure if he's good enough for her…)
Likes:
Art (I guess he has an appreciation for art. He doesn't really try to partake in it, but he enjoys watching what other people can do)
Home-based hobbies (Board or card games, reading, journaling)
Relaxing in and near water (He's a water wizard! Of course he likes water!)
A good meal with friends (Yes. Even if they drive him crazy, yes)
Dislikes:
Strangers (To an extent. He doesn't like to be the first to talk to someone new. Once someone else has broken the ice then he'll step in)
Any criticism of Mom (INSTANT DEATH! The only button bigger than the Mommy button would be the Wifey button)
Revealing of personal life ("THERE'S A REASON IT SAYS 'DO NOT READ ON' MY JOURNAL'S COVER, GUYS!")
Cato Makarov Dreyar: July 7th, CANCER
Strengths:
Tenacious (Yeah. He doesn't go down without a fight)
Highly Imaginative (Kinda goes with the Memory-Make territory)
Loyal (Very much so)
Emotional (Definately! Of the boys he's probably the most emotional of the bunch. I think Von might be the only one who could give him a run for his money in that regard)
Sympathetic (Yup. That would be Mirajane coming out of him.) (Also one of the reasons Persephone loves him, he actually understands where she's coming from instead of just assuming she's a jerk)
Persuasive (Yes, and sneakily so too. Again, that's Mirajane coming out of him.)
Weaknesses:
Moody (Eh...I guess he can be, but he's probably the least moody of the Birthday Gang)
Pessimistic (Nope!)
Suspicious (Nope! He's not naive, don't get me wrong, but he is not super suspicious)
Manipulative (Yeah...he can be...once again, Mirajane coming out. Are you sensing a pattern?)
Insecure (Not anymore. He was when he was a little kid, but he's kinda outgrown it)
Likes:
Art (Yeah, he's a pretty artistic fellow)
Home-based hobbies (Yup. And I'm gonna say it again. He takes after his Mama).
Relaxing in and near water (He likes chilling anywhere, honestly, water or no water)
A good meal with friends (Yup. He loves it!)
Dislikes:
Strangers (That would require Cato to have actually met a stranger. Yeah, that person I was talking about breaking the ice for Storm? That's usually Cato.)
Any criticism of Mom (INSTANT DEATH!)
Revealing of personal life (...nah. Cato's kind of an open book, so, nah.)
Persephone Sterling Redfox: July 7th, CANCER
Strengths:
Tenacious (HECK, YES!)
Highly Imaginative (The girl uses broken screens as weapons! And makes cages out of whole ones! And basically cherry picks techniques from other magic types and applies them to her own. She's probably the most imaginative person in her generation!)
Loyal (To the death!)
Emotional (...she'll never admit it, but yes...)
Sympathetic (...see above…"You better not let anyone know I'm being nice")
Persuasive (I mean, if you count blackmail, threats, and fear tactics as persuasion...)
Weaknesses:
Moody (Yup.)
Pessimistic (YUP!)
Suspicious (YUP! YUP! YUP!) (Notice how so far her weaknesses are the exact opposite of Cato's...well, you know what they say about opposites!)
Manipulative (I mean, if you count blackmail, threats, and fear tactics as manipulation...)
Insecure (Sad to say this one is true. She's working on it, but she still feels pressure to be better or do more, and fears she won't be capable of achieving expectations of her)
Likes:
Art (Why, yes. Her favorite arts are the three S's. Sarcasm, sassiness, and snark)
Home-based hobbies (Research, reading, experimenting, reading, sewing, reading, make-up, reading)
Relaxing in and near water ("You know the best thing about swimming? If stupid people start bothering you, you can drown them." "Persephone, NO!")
A good meal with friends (Yes. She'll be snarky the whole time, but that's just her way of expressing happiness)
Dislikes:
Strangers ("Who are you? Why are you here? Don't talk to me or my idiot sister! Don't talk to him either. He's MINE!")
Any criticism of Mom (INSTANT DEATH!)
Revealing of personal life ("The day I want the world all in my business I'll write a tell all. But be prepared, because if I go down I'M TAKING EVERYONE WITH ME!")
Koree Mercury Redfox: July 7th, CANCER
Strengths:
Tenacious (Yes!)
Highly Imaginative (She could be, but she can never focus on anything long enough, LOL!)
Loyal (TO THE CORE! "You said what about my sister? ROMAN, HOLD MY LUNCH!")
Emotional (Yup. Just because she's usually happy doesn't mean she can't be emotional. She still wears her heart on her sleeve!)
Sympathetic (She can be. You have to be very blunt with her for her to fully grasp how you're feeling, but she'll sympathize with you once you've explained)
Persuasive (Ha. Ha. No. That would require Koree to actually focus and formulate a plan.)
Weaknesses:
Moody (Can be. She usually gets over her bad moods quickly, but she still can be)
Pessimistic (NOPE! The exact opposite, actually)
Suspicious (NOPE!)
Manipulative (NOPE!)
Insecure ("For what!?")
Likes:
Art (She does appreciate it, but she has too short of an attention span to create art)
Home-based hobbies (Yes, she just requires some supervision because, well, she's Koree)
Relaxing in and near water (If you spell relaxations as C-A-N-N-O-N-B-A-L-L)
A good meal with friends (Food and friends!? ABSOLUTELY!)
Dislikes:
Strangers (That would require Koree to have actually met a stranger)
Any criticism of Mom (INSTANT DEATH!)
Revealing of personal life (Nah! Koree doesn't care. Which is good, because she has no filter, she she usually ends up revealing herself)
Roman Robert Fernandez: July 7th, CANCER
Strengths:
Tenacious (Extremely, he's Erza's son, what do you expect)
Highly Imaginative (Yeah. He can be)
Loyal (Very much so. He's a ride or die friend)
Emotional (He would never admit it, but he is a bit emotional. He prefers to be the one listening to how other people feel, rather than being the one venting. Unless it's Bianca. He's super comfortable venting to her for some odd reason…)
Sympathetic (Yes. He's a sweetheart. As one of you lovely readers called him "the wholesome boy")
Persuasive (He lives with the triplets. If he wasn't persuasive they would have killed themselves in a fiery explosion by now. "How about we don't do that, guys…")
Weaknesses:
Moody (At times, yes, but he tries to keep it to himself)
Pessimistic (Not really. He's just practical)
Suspicious (Eh...I wouldn't say suspicious. He's protective so he want to make sure you don't have any ill intentions before he lets you around his loved ones, but he doesn't automatically assume the worst about people)
Manipulative (He can be if he wants to, but he prefers to be honest)
Insecure (Not exactly, he does feel a great deal of pressure to follow in his mother's footsteps, but I don't know if I'd call that insecure)
Likes:
Art (He does enjoy sketching a bit, though he doesn't like showing his sketches off)
Home-based hobbies (He likes reading comic books and maybe a bit of arts and crafts)
Relaxing in and near water (Yeah, he likes swimming and chilling)
A good meal with friends (Yup.)
Dislikes:
Strangers (Eh, I don't know about that. Of course he prefers sticking with people he knows, who doesn't, but he doesn't dislike meeting new people)
Any criticism of Mom (INSTANT DEATH! Though, let's face it, Erza would probably kill you before Roman could get to you)
Revealing of personal life (And yet he lives with the triplets. Poor guy! "Would it kill you three to NOT embarrass me? Just for one day?")
Bianca Ur Fullbuster: November 10th, SCORPIO
Strengths:
Resourceful (She can be. It's not one of her defining features, but she can be)
Brave (Absolutely! Bianca may get scared at times, but you would never know it by looking at her)
Passionate (Very much so! She never does anything halfway.) (Roman, you lucky, lucky fellow, you!)
A true friend (Ride. Or. Die. Bianca is a ride or die. Or kill. She goes hard for her friends.)
Weaknesses:
Distrusting (Eh...I don't know if I'd say distrusting. She's very independent and doesn't like being dependent on people. But that's more because she likes to handle things herself, not because she doesn't trust people).
Jealous (DON'T TOUCH ROMAN! Ladies, ladies, listen to me, DON'T TOUCH ROMAN! You will die)
Secretive (Not intentionally. Like I said, she's really independent, so she doesn't always keep people in the loop because she doesn't think they need to know, because she's got this)
Violent (Ladies, I'll say it again, DO *clap* NOT *clap* TOUCH *clap* ROMAN *clap*!)
Likes:
Truth (Yes)
Facts (Yes. She doesn't have time to go digging through superfluous half-truths. Just give her the facts so she can go on with her life)
Being right (And she hates being wrong. ABSOLUTELY!)
Longtime friends (Again, she's a ride or die)
Teasing (Oh, yes. She loves picking on her loved ones, especially her brothers)
A grand passion (Well, she doesn't do anything half-way, so she doesn't hanging out with people who do things half-way, so, yes)
Dislikes:
Dishonesty (Again, she doesn't have time to sort through baloney, give it to her straight, or don't give it to her at all)
Revealing Secrets (I mean, Bianca doesn't really have a lot of secrets, so it would have to be someone spilling a friend's secret. And she absolutely would flip out and go nuts! Again, ride or die)
Passive People (Again, she doesn't like people who do things half-way. In Bianca's world you are either in or you're out)
Portia Reina Orlando: Feb. 29th (Leap day), PISCES
Strengths:
Compassionate (Oh, yes, probably to a fault because she always puts others first, but yes)
Artistic (Yes)
Intuitive (Oh, very much so. She can always tell when someone's upset)
Gentle (Yes. She's such a sweetheart)
Wise (In her own way. She's not the traditional type of wise, but she always know what to say to a person who is down or in a low place in their life)
Musical (I mean, she does have the voice of an angel, so yes)
Weaknesses:
Fearful (Yes, but can you blame her given her past?)
Overly Trusting (No. If anything, it takes her a lot to fully trust anyone)
Sad (Again, can you blame her?)
Desire to escape reality (In a way, yes. She likes "distractions" so to speak, sewing, singing, dancing, exploring the outdoors, but she doesn't stick her head in the sand. She just likes to take a break every now and then)
Can be a victim or a martyr (Victim, not so much, but she does have a bit of a martyr complex, in which she puts others before herself even if it hurts her. She sometimes needs someone to knock some sense into her so she'll take care of herself. *cough* Igneel *cough*)
Likes:
Being alone (Yes and no. She likes being around people. But she doesn't like venting to others when she's sad because she doesn't want to "burden" them, so when she's upset she prefers to be alone.)
Sleeping (I mean...who doesn't like sleep?)
Music (Yes. Singing, dancing, she likes it)
Romance (YES! She loves romance.) (Good thing Igneel has four sisters to help him out, I guess)
Visual Media (I...I guess? I mean, she likes dancing and watching people dance. That counts, right?)
Swimming (...I guess? She likes the outdoors, so I guess swimming goes with that.)
Spiritual themes (I don't know about that. She's more attuned to emotions than most, but I wouldn't say that makes her super spiritual)
Dislikes:
Know-it-all (Yeah, she's not a fan of braggers or arrogant people)
Being criticized (Oh, she hates that! It makes her nervous and hurts her feelings and just tears her up!)
The past coming back to haunt them (CAN YOU BLAME HER!?)
Cruelty of any kind (Hates it! She's too much of an empath to stand cruelty towards anyone.)
Lorelle Evergreen Strauss: August 6th, LEO
Strengths:
Creative (Certainly. Especially when it comes to fashion)
Passionate (...that's one word for it)
Generous (NOPE! NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST! Okay, okay, she CAN be if she wants to, but those are rare occasions)
Warm-Hearted (On the inside...DEEP inside)
Cheerful (Yeah, just because she's a jerk, it doesn't mean she's not cheerful)
Humorous (Well...in her own way I suppose...her humor is usually at the expense of others, but, yeah…)
Weaknesses:
Arrogant (TO THE NTH DEGREE)
Stubborn (TO THE NTH DEGREE)
Self-Centered (TO THE NTH DEGREE)
Lazy (TO TH- Actually, no. Say what you will about Lorelle, but she knows how to work hard)
Inflexible (*sigh* TO THE NTH DEGREE)
Likes:
Theatre (As in theatrics? If so, you, girl is a drama queen!)
Taking Holidays (Of course! Going to fancy places, with glamorous hotels, and people to wait on her. Why wouldn't she love a holiday?)
Being Admired (IT'S HER DRUG!)
Expensive Things (Yes! And only expensive things)
Bright Colors (The brighter the better!)
Fun with Friends (She'd never admit that she has friends, but, yes, she enjoys spending time with them.
Dislikes:
Being ignored (HOW DARE YOU!?)
Facing difficult realities (YOU CAN'T MAKE HER DO IT!)
Not being treated like a king or queen (*cue the temper tantrum*)
Minette Erza Fernandez: February 9th, AQUARIUS
Strength:
Progressive (Yeah, I suppose. She'd definitely be of the mind set "why keep up a practice that is out of date?")
Original (That's one word for it!)
Independent (Yes! To a fault at times! She HATES asking for help)
Humanitarian (Yes. She sometimes goes a bit overboard and ends up taking charge rather than just helping, but still, yes)
Weaknesses:
Runs from emotional expression (Seeing as she stops computing whenever someone in her presence begins to cry, I'd say yes)
Temperamental (Yeah...Angry Minette is not a fun Minette to be around…)
Uncompromising (As in stubborn? If so, YES!)
Aloof (She doesn't mean to be...but she often comes off that way…)
Likes:
Fun with friends (Of course! Especially if she's the one calling the shots...Meeko might have something to say about that…)
Helping others (Again, sometimes she goes a bit overboard, but still, yes)
Fighting for causes (With every fiber of her being)
Intellectual conversations (Yes. They tend to be a bit one-sided at times, but still yes)
A good listener (Ha. Ha. Ha. That's funny! Yeah, no, Minette's not good at listening…)
Dislikes
Limitations (There are no such things in Minette's world. Meeko, stop your girl before she...and...you're right up there with her...competing with her...oh boy…)
Broken Promises (INSTANT DEATH!)
Being lonely (She'd never admit that she gets lonely, but...she does...)
Dull or boring situations ("CAN I JUST GO PLAY ALREADY!?")
People who disagree with them (It's either Minette's way or the highway)
Eva Simone Fernandez: February 9th, AQUARIUS
Strength:
Progressive (Yes, but in an unintentional way. She just does whatever works best given the situation and if it turns out to be a new-fangled way of doing things so be it)
Original (Very much so! She moves to the beat of her own drum!)
Independent (Again, unintentionally. If Eva's got something she's gotta do then she'll go do it. If you want to help, she'll let you tag along, but she's not gonna wait for you to make up your mind)
Humanitarian (Of course! Everyone deserves a helping hand, or a second chance….that includes you, Carmen!)
Weaknesses:
Runs from emotional expression (Nah, Eva's pretty good with emotions)
Temperamental (Her feelings do get hurt easily, so, yeah…*cue Minette freezing because Eva's crying and she doesn't know how to deal*)
Uncompromising (Yup. She is who she is and if you don't like it...well, she'll follow you and be nice and give you sparkly sticker until you like her)
Aloof (NOPE!)
Likes:
Fun with friends (THERE IS NOTHING BETTER!)
Helping others (Always. Every day.)
Fighting for causes (Once again, unintentionally, but if Eva sees something that needs support she'll give it that support)
Intellectual conversations (...I guess...Eva kinda likes 99% of conversations though. What can we say? She's a social butterfly)
A good listener (Very much so.) (Carmen: "I'm not making any sense am I?" Eva: "It's okay, keep talking. You'll feel better.")
Dislikes
Limitations (Eva: What are these 'limits' you speak of?)
Broken Promises (Cue the tears)
Being lonely (If she doesn't have someone to talk to for more than an hour she'll probably die)
Dull or boring situations (Cue the snores. At least dreams are fun, right?)
People who disagree with them (She'll chatter at you and throw stickers at you until you change your mind)
Von Jellal Fernandez: February 9th, AQUARIUS
Strength:
Progressive (In a sense. He doesn't like to look back, only forward)
Original (Well, he has to be. There hasn't been anyone in Fairy Tail with his struggles before, so he has to be original)
Independent (Yes. He knows he can't depend on others to protect and care for him forever, so he works hard to be independent)
Humanitarian (He knows how it feels to be weak and helpless. He doesn't want others to feel that way. So of course he tries to help them)
Weaknesses:
Runs from emotional expression (Only in regards to his own emotions. He's fine with dealing with other's emotional breakdowns, he just can't figure out how to show his own frustrations or heart breaks)
Temperamental (Eh...not really. He's been stuck with Minette and Eva since the womb. If he was temperamental he'd be dead)
Uncompromising (He knows what is right and what is wrong. And that's that.)
Aloof (Nope! Not at all)
Likes:
Fun with friends (Of course! He loves hanging out with friends)
Helping others (Yes, again, he doesn't want anyone to feel weak or helpless)
Fighting for causes (He's been fighting since he was born, so naturally he'd enjoy fighting for others)
Intellectual conversations (He'd certainly prefer them over pointless or shallow conversations...I'm starting to realize that Von might be the most like Jellal out of the four Fernandez kids)
A good listener (Absolutely. Von is the friend you can vent your deepest, darkest fears or thoughts to, because you can rest assured he won't tell a soul.) (And that's why, of the four boys who end up dating a Dragneel girl, Von is the only one Igneel didn't threaten to kill, because Igneel knows Von won't kiss and tell even if things turned out bad between him and Layla)
Dislikes
Limitations (He's had those put on him his whole life, and he hates it! He wants nothing more than to break those limits)
Broken Promises (He'll tell you it's fine, but it hurts.)
Being lonely (He's kinda felt this way his whole life, because no one fully understands what it's like starting off life behind everyone else.)
Dull or boring situations (He'll stomach them in a polite manner, but that doesn't mean he likes it)
People who disagree with them (Again, he'll be polite, but he won't like it)
Layla Anna Dragneel: April 27th, TAURUS
Strength:
Reliable (Yup. She's always there. Layla may not always be able to help you, but she will be there cheering you on come hell or high water)
Patient (Look at her siblings. Look at her parents. Layla has no choice but to be patient)
Practical (Yeah. Layla's a dreamer, true, but she knows how to make a plan so her dreams are actually attainable)
Devoted (Ride or die. Hell or highwater. Rain or shine. Layla has got your back 100%)
Responsible (Well, someone in the Dragneel house has to be responsible. And it's not going to be one of the other four kids. So…)
Stable (Again, look at Layla's family. She really doesn't have a choice, bless her.)
Weaknesses:
Stubborn (Yes. She'll be nice about it, but she's stubborn.)
Possessive (Eh...not really...except maybe for her gate keys)
Uncompromising (What's right is right, and what's wrong is wrong, and that's that...there's a reason she and Von get along so well…)
Likes:
Gardening (Huh. I never really thought about it, but I guess so. If any of the Dragneels would be into gardening I guess it would be Layla. She does have Fyllo's key, after all)
Cooking (Nah. That's more of Nashi's thing…)
Music (She does like singing...usually in the shower or while dancing in her room, but still)
Romance (Yup. She's a hopeless romantic.)
High quality clothes (I mean, yeah. She's not a brand name snob or anything like that, but she does enjoy the finer things when she can have them)
Working with hands (I suppose so...she does prefer to fight alongside her spirits rather than hide behind them, so…)
Dislikes:
Sudden changes (She does prefer a heads up, true)
Complications (*talking to her siblings* "Why can't you guys just do things the easy way...like normal people!")
Insecurity of any kind (More in others than herself, she doesn't like seeing people doubt themselves)
Synthetic fabrics (Nah, not really. She prefers the finer things, but she won't snub the cheap stuff)
Igneel Jude Dragneel: June 12th, GEMINI
Strengths:
Gentle (Strangely, yes. I mean, yeah, he's a bit of a rough and tumble who likes sparring, and wrestling, and fighting, but when it comes to people he genuinely loves he can be very gentle with them, especially his little sisters. And Portia. Extra emphasis on Portia.)
Affectionate (Oh, yeah. He has no trouble showing affection to those he cares about. That affection may come in the form of a wrestling match, but take what you can get)
Curious (Yeah. He always wants to know what's up...even if it usually goes over his head)
Adaptable (Any guy with four sisters has to be adaptable!)
Ability to learn quickly and exchange ideas (Uh...no...not even close...)
Weaknesses:
Nervous (Ha ha! No! Igneel's life might actually be easier if he was a little nervous every now and then. Or at the very least had a bit of shame)
Inconsistent (More like unpredictable. You never know what he'll do next)
Indecisive (No. He can make a decision. His decisions sometimes contradict each other, but he'll make a decision)
Likes:
Music (Uh...remember that scene of Natsu dancing on the table? Yeah, Igneel's definitely recreated it at some point)
Books (Um...audiobooks maybe...Igneel can't sit still long enough to read a whole book)
Magazines (Yeah, these might be a little more his speed. He can take breaks between articles)
Chats with nearly anyone (TRUTH!)
Short trips around town (Sure! Any adventure is a good adventure)
Dislikes:
Being alone (Yes! "Someone talk to me, I'm bored!)
Being confined (Yeah, that would never happen. I'd like to see someone try to confine Igneel)
Repetition or routine (Oh, definitely! He needs adventure!)
Meeko Silver Fullbuster: June 13th, GEMINI
Strengths:
Gentle (He can be when he wants to be...don't tell anyone though…)
Affectionate (Again, don't tell anyone…)
Curious (To a fault!)
Adaptable (Most definitely)
Ability to learn quickly and exchange ideas (Very much so, which is why Igneel drives him crazy. "WHY CAN'T YOU KEEP UP!?")
Weaknesses:
Nervous (He'd never admit it, but he is a bit of a nervous person)
Inconsistent (Not really, he's just always learning and adapting, but one could be forgiven for thinking he's inconsistent. He's not. He's just constantly updating his methods.)
Indecisive (Sort of...he prefers other make the decisions and then he follows...unless that person is Igneel...or Minette)(That's actually a lie, he loves it when Minette takes charge, but he's too proud *cough* nervous *cough* te let her know so her pretends to hate it)
Likes:
Music (Oh yeah, he can spit some lyrics)
Books (Yes, he likes to learn, remember)
Magazines (Again, love of learning)
Chats with nearly anyone (Except for Igneel)
Short trips around town (Sure, expect when he's in the middle of a good book)
Dislikes:
Being alone (Depends. Meeko needs to be alone to cool off a bit every now and then, but he doesn't like being alone for a long time)
Being confined ("Don't tell me what to do!")
Repetition or routine (Again, he loves to learn new things, can't do that if you do the same thing over and over again)
Vera Esperanza Orlando: January 29th, AQUARIUS
Strength:
Progressive (She doesn't like looking back, it distracts from now)
Original (Well, yes, she tires to be her own person as much as possible so people don't compare her to her father)
Independent (She kinda didn't have a choice, being from a single parent home her mother had to work a lot to make ends meet, so she was left to her own devices a bit more than other kids)
Humanitarian (She's had to struggle in her life, and therefore wants to help others in situations like her own)
Weaknesses:
Runs from emotional expression (In a way. She's afraid to show weakness because she doesn't want to be taken advantage of or exploited, largely due to her past)
Temperamental (Sort of. She doesn't like showing emotion so she just bottles it all up until it explodes)
Uncompromising (Yup. She's either gonna do it her way or not at all)
Aloof (Not really, but a lot of people think she is because she's kinda stand-offish when you first meet her)
Likes:
Fun with friends (Yeah, when she's not trying to be an emo, that is)
Helping others (Always. She has a very strong compassionate streak)
Fighting for causes (Yup. She will always stand for what she believes in)
Intellectual conversations (She does enjoy to be stimulated and challenged, so yes)
A good listener (Yes. She's great because she doesn't judge. She's got that "it be like that sometimes" energy) (I'm starting to realize she and Von actually have a lot in common. Maybe he can be a bit of a mentor for her when she's going through her Emo phase)
Dislikes
Limitations (She's one of those people who wants to work even harder when someone tells her she can't do something)
Broken Promises (Oh, yeah, this pisses her off)
Being lonely (Which is ironic, because she does go through a phase where she pushes people away before they can hurt her, but she really does hate loneliness)
Dull or boring situations (Yeah, and she gets bored easy, which is not a good combo)
People who disagree with them (Yup. That's a one way ticket to the silent treatment)
Isla Grandeeney Conbolt: September 16th, VIRGO
Strengths:
Loyal (Very much so. She's not the most assertive person, but she'll always be in your corner)
Analytical (In a way. She can read a room and understand people's motivations very quickly, so I guess that takes a certain degree of analytical skills)
Kind (I mean, she's Wendy's daughter, so, duh!)
Hardworking (Yes. She has a good work ethic)
Practical (Yes)
Weaknesses:
Shyness (Again, Wendy's daughter)
Worry (She does tend to worry about her loved ones)
Overly critical of self and others (Self? Yes. Others? No.)
All work no play (Not true! She knows how to have fun!)
Likes:
Animals ("Aw! Look at the wittle fluffies!"
Healthy foods (...or any food, honestly…)
Books (Yup. Probably borrows books from Persephone every now and then)
Nature (Oh, yeah! Big nature girl!)
Cleanliness (Yeah, she does like to keep things tidy)
Dislikes
Rudeness (Yeah, but she's too shy to call people out for it...Good thing she has July)
Asking for help (Yup. She likes to prove herself)
Taking center stage (She has a severe case of stage fright!)
July Laxus Dreyar: April 9th, ARIES
Strengths:
Courageous (YES!)
Determined (YES!)
Confident (To a fault at times...he's not always as hot as he thinks he is)
Enthusiastic (Very much so!)
Optimistic (Yup!)
Honest (Yeah, as much of a pain as he can be, he is honest)
Passionate (Yes. He always give 100%)
Weaknesses:
Impatient (Yeah, he doesn't like waiting...his impatience is what usually gets him in trouble)
Moody (Yeah...especially while he's waiting)
Short-Tempered (He can be...usually when he's stuck waiting on something)
Impulsive (A bit, yeah, he doesn't always think things through)
Aggressive (He can be, but it's not intentional. He's always firing on all cylinders and doesn't really know how to tone it down)
Likes:
Comfortable clothes (Yeah, he doesn't want clothes getting in his way)
Taking on leadership roles (Not intentionally. He just sort of goes for something and everyone follows his lead)
Physical challenges (Yes. Yes indeed.)
Individual sports (...or just any sport. He likes being active. What can I say? He's a jock. And he ends up with the flower child...)
Dislikes:
Inactivity (Drives him crazy)
Delays (Again, his biggest vice is his impatience)
Work that does not use one's talents (He likes to show off, so of course he wants to use his talents)
Kyri Summer Dragneel: October 20th, LIBRA
Strengths:
Cooperative (She can be. She won't just follow orders, though, she needs to know why we're doing what we're doing)
Diplomatic (In a way. She will look for a peaceful solution before charging in)
Gracious (Yes. She is a naturally kind person)
Fair-minded (Very much. Sometimes to a fault because she can't stand injustice)
Social (Yes, she's very much an extrovert)
Weaknesses:
Indecisive (Sort of. She's not always the best leader, and prefers when someone else takes charge. Left to her own devices she'll make a choice, but she may not like it)
Avoids Confrontation (Yeah...no...she's a Dragneel, she has no problem telling you like it is
Will carry a grudge (YUP!)
Self-pity (Eh, nah, not really. She's pretty happy in her own skin)
Likes:
Harmony (Truth. She does prefer for folks to get along)
Gentleness (Yeah, she doesn't respond well to aggression or violence. She can handle it, but she won't be happy)
Sharing with others (Yes, she's a generous soul)
The outdoors (More the freedom and lack of boundaries it offers than the outdoors itself, but, sure)
Dislikes:
Violence (Yup. But just because she doesn't like it doesn't mean she's not capable of it)
Injustice (Probably her biggest pet peeve)
Loudmouths (Yeah, given her three older siblings, she's kinda become immune to this)
Conformity (Yeah, no, she's gonna be herself, and if you don't like it, well, sucks to be you)
Luna Darcey Dragneel: October 20th, LIBRA
Strengths:
Cooperative (To an extent. Let's just say she's either cooperating with you, or pretending to cooperate so she can figure out how to take you down later)
Diplomatic (Scarily so. She is a master of the diplomacy game, and knows exactly how to get what she wants)
Gracious (Yes, she's a sweet and generous soul, but not one to be underestimated)
Fair-minded (Yup. And don't forget it. She will remember your unsavory games, and learn how to play them against you)
Social (Yes. She's quiet, true, but she does like being around people)
Weaknesses:
Indecisive (Ha. Ha. Ha. NO!)
Avoids Confrontation (Again, Dragneel, she has no qualms about coming to you)

Gentleness (Yes, and she will be as gentle to you as you are to her)
Sharing with others (Yes, she's very generous)
The outdoors (Yes, the outdoors give her peace)
Dislikes:
Violence (Sort of. Let's just say she prefers to keep her fights short, and she has the power to make sure they're quick)
Injustice (Yup. She will not hesitate to give justice to victims of unfair circumstances)
Loudmouths (Again, given her older siblings, she's kinda immune) (Which is good, seeing as she ends up with Vance)
Conformity (Nope. She will be who she is and if you don't like it, well, there's the door) (and if you say anything about Vance, here's a fist of fire)
Juven Makarov Dreyar: July 28th, LEO
Strengths:
Creative (Yeah, in a way. I mean, he's the only one in his family with his magic, so he had to teach himself, I guess he had to be creative for that)
Passionate (Yes, he feels deeply about...everything…)
Generous (He will give the shirt off his back for someone)
Warm-Hearted (Yes, he's very kind, approachable, and fun to be around)

Dislikes:
Being ignored ("...please like me…" He's just a goodest boy who wants friends, okay!)
Facing difficult realities (Yeah, he doesn't take harsh situations well)
Not being treated like a king or queen (Not exactly, he doesn't respond well to being mistreated, but he doesn't have to be spoiled)

Facing difficult realities ("LALALALALALALALA!")
Not being treated like a king or queen ("Vance, no!" "But I like the shinies!")
(AND SINCE THEY'LL BE JOINING THE FAIRY TAIL FAMILY SOON…)
Carmen: September 1st, VIRGO
Strengths:
Loyal (I mean, the boy was willing to die to make sure the sister he'd never even met stayed safe, so…)
Analytical (Yeah, he's super smart)
Kind (In his own way. He's afraid to get close to people, but he'll go out of his way to help them...so long as they don't find out it was him…)
Hardworking (He's never really had a choice given his past)
Practical (Again, he never really had a choice…)
Weaknesses:
Shyness (Sort of. I mean, he is shy, but instead of just being quiet, he usually comes off as rude because of his nervousness)
Worry (Always. Can you blame him?)
Overly critical of self and others (ESPECIALLY himself)

Taking center stage (Yeah, no, he doesn't like attention on him, it gives him the nervous sweats)

Strengths:
Generous (Yeah, he'll give you anything if it will help you)
Idealistic (No...Elena kinda ruined that for him)

Travel (New sights to see! )
Philosophy (Eh...not really…)
Being outdoors (Yes, all the exploration and new sights!)

Clingy people (They make him nervous. If you're holding onto me this tight it means you want something from me, right? What if I don't want to help you! What if you want me to do something bad?)
Being constrained (I mean, can you blame him?)
Off-the-wall theories (Yeah, no, he wants to understand. But he can't. And that makes him nervous)
Details (No, he wants the details, he wants to know what's going on)
So, yeah, let me know who you thought accurately reflected their signs, or not, who do you share a sign with? Or maybe even a birthdate? I'll try to get something else up soon. I don't promise it will be a story yet, because life is still crazy, but I'm going to try and not leave ya'll high and dry again.
