ARIANELL BLODWEN_________ Unsorted First Year _____._____ ════════════════════════________
Arianell buzzed with excitement, her fingers tingled as she squeezed the hem of her sleeves. One by one, students were called to the stool and she made certain to keep track of the names being called when each first year took their seat. Soon, the Welsh girl was called and she had to stop herself from skipping up to the deputy headmistress and maintained a cool composure instead. It wasn't easy, she had to keep chanting the words over and over, 'Don't trip, don't trip, don't trip...'
Quote:
✹ HARDWORKING Arianell was taught to be diligent, studious, and persevere. Failure only makes her more determined to try and try again until it's perfect. ✹ ASSERTIVE She doesn't like to be ignored, shushed, or rolled over. Arianell is keen on making herself seen and heard whenever she has an opinion. Her mother taught her to stand up for herself, but also to be compliant when it serves a purpose in the long run. (Like not getting in trouble.) ✹ DECEITFUL Arianell has grown up with the thought that lying is the best thing a girl can learn to do. To smile when she's angry, to laugh when she'd rather cry, and to be nice when she'd rather claw someone's eyes out. ✹ SECRETIVE Arianell is not one to give too much of herself away. She prefers not to broadcast her opinions and feelings unless deemed necessary. It takes her a while to warm up to people before letting down her guard. ✹ OBSESSIVE Even as a baby, she has always had an addictive personality. First it was her pacifier, then sugary sweets and syrup-y juices. When she starts a game or project, she throws all of herself into it until she's burned out and moves on to the next obsession. ✹ GOSSIP Arianell lives for gossip. Just because she doesn't like to talk about herself doesn't mean she doesn't like to talk about other people. (And not always behind their backs.) She wants to know everything going on about everyone around her.

The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Ah, my dear, this will be simple enough Yes, for you it's most certainly Slytherin!

Slytherin Lord
Payton stood anxiously as she waited for her name to be called. Her fingers wiggled with the excitement she was feeling. It felt like forever but she finally heard her name. Payton walked up to the chair and sat in it. She didn't feel nervous at all, no matter the house, she thought of it as a new adventure. She looked around the great hall with a big smile on her face. She wondered what house she would be sorted into.
Quote:
People can describe me as someone who has no cares about the dangers of the world. I always can find a silver lining on even the darkest of days. I can be considered weak as I won't defend myself, but I am also outgoing and enjoy friendship. I can't stay in one place to long so I end up looking like I am distracted, but don't worry it is just myself thinking about things fun to do. I also can be quite energetic, especially when I get overly excited about stuff.
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Well now, let's see here... You shy away from confrontation But there's a seed of bravery hidden in your optimism So, let's see if we can't help that grow in Gryffindor!

spaceAmata lead the first years from the antechamber into the Great Hall, approaching the stool and the hat with the group lined up behind her. She unbound the scroll, and began reading off names to start the sorting so the evening could get underway.
I found a place so safe, not a single tear The first time in my life and now it's so clear Feel calm, I belong, I'm so happy here It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere I wouldn't change a thing about it This is the best feeling

Mal got up to the stool and took a seat. They were excited and nervous, considering that they knew that their family already had been through this numerous times, and they all seemed to either be Slytherins or Ravenclaws. Mal just wanted to be where they belonged, and where they wouldn't be looked at weirdly. They just weren't sure where they would fit.

◊ RESERVEDMalcolm is generally a kid that tends to keep to themself. They are slow to anger or get excited, but can and will speak their mind if necessary. While it might seem like they're unemotional, that is far from the truth as they just don't show their own easily. ◊ CONFIDENTMalcolm is also confident, showing an understanding of their own abilities and appreciation for what they can and can't do. While it might come off as egotistical, they rather prefer that they have excellent self-esteem and a good head for what they can and cannot do. ◊ QUIRKYMalcolm is a bit of an odd person, prone to peculiarities unique to themself. They do things their own way, and does them for reasons unfamiliar to others. They also don't think anything of how others act, only making judgements based on whether the other person has done harm to others. ◊ INTELLIGENTMalcolm is quite intelligent, and can pick up on new ideas quite easily. They also don't have an issue with applying said ideas in new ways, or with coming up with their own ideas. They also happen to have a keen eye for applying old ideas in new ways. ◊ ADAPTABLEMalcolm is highly adaptable, and can adjust to most any situation they come across. New experiences don't scare them, and they find it an adventure to discover situations they've never been in before. ◊ PROGRESSIVEAs Malcolm is adaptable, they also don't mind new ideas and applying them. They have little to no idea about conventional roles, and flaunt breaking stereotypes with little regard to what others think.

It's a state of bliss, you think you're dreaming It's the happiness inside that you're feeling It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry It's a state of bliss, you think you're dreaming It's the happiness inside that you're feeling It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
Felix entered with the rest of the first years. He was still a bit frazzled from the boat ride. He was glad no one rocked it though. Upon entering his unease was but back by the sense of awe. How did the ceiling do that! He didn't see any projectors and he could still see the structure of the roof so it wasn't an open ceiling. He lightly bumped the person in front of him when they stopped. Quietly apologizing he looked to see what this sorting hat was that Gertie had mentioned. It seemed to be a ratty old talking hat and based of what it said certain tables would cheer. There were enough people before him he was able to figure out what house sat where. The yellow table seemed fond of hugs and he spotted Gertie. Though the red table was the rowdiest.
He didn't have to wait too long for his name. ‘Felix Geary’ was called out making him a nervous. It just now hit him he would be having the whole school watching. He wasn't a fan of all the attention. Things usually did not go well for him when everyone was watching. He couldn't help but think what his family would be thinking about all this. His dad would like care less, he always did when it came to Felix. He had learned his dad's uninterested grunts and what they meant. His brother would like be teasing the names, Especially Hufflepuff as it was a kinda silly name to begin with. His mom would likely be the one interested. She had helped keep his new wand safe from his brother who seem to like stealing anything new and cool of Felix’s. She was the most interested in him going to Hogwarts. He hoped the hat that could put him in a house he would good with or maybe with Gertie if he didn’t fit anywhere else. At least he would have a friend then.

Ahorangi walked up to the Sorting hat after her name was called from the list on the piece of scroll where the names was kept on. As her name was said wrong but she will teach people on how to say her name right. She was saying the Maori prayer to calm her again as she was very nervous at this point of time of the sorting ceremony. "So we finally meet after all these years since my sister Waimea and my brother Tainui." She said to the hat as she sat down on the stool waiting to see where she gets put. In Ahorangi's mind she knew that the house she doesn't belong in was Slytherin. Which house would she be sorted into for the first time? Saying the same Maori prayer that helped her back the the station to calm down before coming to school. She calmed down and now she finally ready to be sorted as she awaited to be sorted into her new home.

Enid Lambert née Brewster Half-Blood★ Unsorted First Year★Adopted
Location : Great Hall
Enid didn’t mind the boat ride and the walk up to the great hall wasn’t bad. Waiting for when they would be sorted, the first year wondered to herself where she would end up. Would she be in Hufflepuff? The house her mother was in and most of her friends were placed. Would she be in Ravenclaw? Like her late aunt and uncle. She doubted she’d land in Gryffindor or Slytherin.
Entering the great hall Enid waited for her turn to go up. She went up before any of the classmates she knew of or at least recognized from their travels. Walking up she took a seat on the stool before the hat was placed on her head. 'Where are you placing me hat?’ She quietly asked the sorting hat in her head. It could read her mind after all right? It was definitely a curious thing indeed.
Status :Slightly Curious With :Other first years...
■ ODDI'm kind of an odd sort. I've been that way for as long as I know. Then again I'm not your typical kid. I don't play games and watching other kids play I just don't get it. Honestly running around chasing each other doesn't look much fun to me. Then again other kids find it entertaining. It's right up there with sports. Most of them I don't get... It's just me I get that. Though I suppose people get confused by me sometimes. ■ QUIETThat's probably why I'm usually quiet and I keep to myself. It's not that I'm a shy person, honestly. I just don't really like talking. I will if I have to, given certain situations. Truth is you miss out on things when you talk all the time. Plus I don't like hearing the sound of my own voice like some people. Those people don't even say anything with any real meaning, it's just pointless blabber. ■ WATCHFULSince I am so quiet I generally take to watching people and things. Watching the world around you, you learn quite a bit. I guess in many ways that also makes me alert to my surroundings. I mean I usually know when someone comes up behind me and it's not often that someone manages to sneak up on me. Needless to say I have a sharp eye and a good attention to detail for a kid my age. ■ SKEPTICAL I tend to be pessimistic, think the worst in everything. My pessimism is why I'm such a skeptic. I have a lot of doubts about a lot of things since my parents passed away. I'm also under the belief that people do thing to benefit themselves and everything is temporary. Just look at my parents they couldn't be around forever. Call me cynical but it's just the grim reality of how things are and have always been. ■ INDEPENDENTMy lack of trust and social skills have made me pretty self-reliant. I know I can't rely on others for everything. Someday I'll be on my own and I'll have no choice but to become an independent person. Sure kids don't generally worry about that kind of stuff but like I said I'm not like most kids. I may not know how to cook but I can clean. I'm also pretty sure I have a sense of style, dark and gothic maybe but a style none the less. ■ STORY TELLERNow I'm not a liar (I can't stand liars) and I won't say I'm dramatic. I just tend to tell stories. Half-truths I suppose. So their probably more like realistic stories with a twist to them. My life isn't all that interesting so if I can spice it up a bit I will. Keep people interested. Plus it pushes people away from my oddities. However, sometimes my stories can get me into trouble.
Edgar came first before Felix, but either way he was relieved that he was one of the early students to get sorted at. Still, it made him nervous because the sorting was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of deal. He sat down on the stool, feeling a real chill on his nerves as the hat was set down. Eddie was certain that this hat can read minds, he read about that but it didn't stop him from being restless if the houses were meant to put you in a path. He wanted to be in Ravenclaw, just like his dad before him. But it wasn't because he wanted to, it was because he wanted to see if he was really smart enough to be qualified as one. His stepmother always told him to still keep going and she didn't give him a congrats on any achievements he made, so that meant that he was missing something. So, if he didn't get Ravenclaw- he felt that it meant that he wasn't smart enough. But on the other hand, he just wanted to feel satisfied and content, not disappointed to what he does. Edgar really wanted to feel like he reached the expectations he and the people around him expected him to be. Because people kept on telling him that he's smart like his parents (no not Anika, his real late mother) and yet he was treated like he still needed to improve. 'I don't want to beg,' he talked to the hat with his mind, 'But just tell me what I am and what I'm capable of if you really can read people's minds.'
▶ WELL-READ — Edgar is a very knowledgeable child, taking after his parents. Usually occupying his time in books and observation, he doesn't find it hard to gather knowledge and learns very quickly. His most preferred knowledge, however, lies in diverse literature, mysteries, puzzles, and world-building; explaining Edgar's love of history and detective stories. Edgar actually has a good streak in academics and excels in maths, it just happens that he has a passion for history. As much as this was a blessing, this made Edgar hard to keep up with the children not in his level; thus being dubbed as someone who was a bit uptight and way mature for his age.
▶ DETAIL-ORIENTED — People call him out for being a perfectionist, but Edgar insists that he finds value in detail, pattern, and order. While never obsessed in detail, he likes to observe and scrutinize the things handed before him. With this, he is "blessed" with an observant eye, not the type to forget things and usually very adept in awareness. This leads him into questioning so many things, restless, and a bit picky as a result.
▶ ACTIVE — Contrary to popular belief, Edgar doesn't actually stand being stuck in the library for too long- claiming that there's a difference between being a bookworm and being bookish. This may also add to the fact that his father taught him that there's more in knowledge than just memorizing formulas, adding that being sociable always help. As a result, Edgar loves to partake in activities because it means that he'll have fun and knowledge along the way. On the other hand, this made him bite more than he could chew... and the fact that he wasn't always satisfied with that he does didn't help.
▶ QUIET — Edgar has a lot of opinion for many things, however he prefers keeping things to himself unless being asked. He doesn't like arguing with people unless being provoked to, as he usually finds it very tiring and is aware that sometimes there are people who won't listen to what he probably has to say. This keeps him in less arguments and less trouble, while also feeling resentful when it has something to do with him.
▶ UNSATISFIED — Edgar, while pragmatic and already proven to be a smart person, struggles in seeing if he really is what he and the people thought he is. He wants to prove and prove usually for people, but even so he puts high standards to himself that if left him disappointed. He is rarely satisfied with what he achieved and wanted to strive more and more, making him restless at best and self-destructive at worst.
▶ AFFECTIONATE — Edgar, once you established a bond with him, can be a very affectionate and loving person. He likes to give gifts and isn't afraid to show how he cared a lot to his friends. This makes him a very good friend to talk with, but to other people it makes him look either annoying or clingy. People can also take advantage of him due to him exposing his affectionate nature, but fortunately he is quick-witted enough to notice it.

devin gennaro bove halfblood │ unsorted │ first year
Devin was unsurprised that he was one of the first names called, given his surname. He just hoped he wasn't in for seven years of people saying 'Buhv' and not 'Bo-vay'. The again, he was mostly just bored in general as he approached the hat, since he really didn't care where he ended up. No one had ever left their house stop them from doing what they wanted with their life, after all. He sort of hoped he wasn't a Gryffindor like Cady, but at least Da would be happy if that happened. Either way, his sister would find some way to annoy him throughout the year. He took a seat and braced himself slightly. What was the worst that could happen, anyways? Besides the Hat taking forever to sort him and thus embarrassing him in front of the entire school, that is
OOC:
CAUTIOUS xxx»» Devin is an extremely careful, cautious person. He always makes sure his laces are tied and that doors are locked behind him. He doesn't like to be unprepared for any situation or event and gets very overwhelmed when things seem to be out of his direct control. He hates surprises and once crawled under a table during his eighth birthday party because someone invited a clown and it was terrible. He's working on it, but don't expect him to be all smiles when his long lost twin shows up.
QUICK-WITTED xxx»» Devin is a very quiet, stoic sort of person, and because of this is often assumed to be dumber than he actually is. He's far more observant than he lets on, he simply doesn't talk much, preferring to have actually have something important to say when he opens his mouth. In general, while he's not the sort of person to speak up unless absolutely necessary, he does enjoy surprising people with the occasional sarcastic bombshell.
HUMBLE xxx»» Devin is a very humble person, unlike the rest of his prideful, sometimes conceited family. He doesn't have a poor opinion of himself, but he's not one to talk himself up or brag either, and he can't stand people who never stop talking about themselves. He'd much rather let his actions speak, rather than his words, and would rather wait someone out and show them up later than go back and forth about who's better. Compared to his family, his modesty is both refreshing and occasionally exasperating.
PEACEFUL xxx»» Devin doesn't like to argue or fight. Hates it, in fact. He'll do anything to avoid a conflict, and watching two people get into a verbal or physical disagreement sets his teeth on edge. Growing up he was always the peacemaker of the family and the one to talk someone else down from saying something truly cruel. When someone insults him, he usually just ignores them or walks away, and it would take a lot to wear him down to the point where he'd be actually willing to throw a punch. Devin is also usually fairly calm, and has far less trouble keeping his temper in check than most.
PESSIMISTIC xxx»» Although Devin is rarely truly 'grouchy', despite what his siblings might say, he does tend to take on a 'glass half-empty' perspective in life. He'd rather brace for the worst than get his hopes up and be disappointed, and is usually the one cautioning others against assuming too much or getting too excited about a situation or person. He fully expects other people to disappoint him and let him down, which can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
TRUSTWORTHY xxx»» Devin is the sort of person whom, when in school, the teachers would often assign the role 'hall monitor' to, or trust him to watch the class while they stepped out. This never made him terribly popular, but it's hard to argue with the fact that Devin has always been a very mature, responsible sort of person. He would never lie to cover his own arse, or help someone else do something he disapproved of. He's a very moral person, sometimes rigidly so.
My father's father's blood is on the track A sweet refrain drifts in from the past I got my ticket and I'm going to go home The winding roads that led me here Burn like coal and dry like tears So here's my hope, my tired soul

W I L L I A M S I O R U S B R O W N unsorted │ first year │ halfblood
Bill could practically hear his sister mouth-breathing down his neck, even if she was sitting all the way over at the Hufflepuff table. What was it going to take for her to get a grip? Bad enough that she'd insisted they take the train together, like he was some little kid that might wander off and get lost. She probably would have escorted him to the castle herself if that'd been allowed. And now he was probably going to end up in the same house as her and his parents, and it was going to be a total drag for the next seven years because his sister thought he was her helpless baby brother who needed her looking out for him every three seconds. Great. He tried not to look dismal as he took his seat for the Hat.
OOC:
THOUGHTFUL xxx»» Bill is the type who will hold doors open for people, help someone pick up their books or papers, offer to help clear the table, and so on. He was raised to be very polite and considerate of others, given his Hufflepuff parents, but he's just also naturally a very caring person, who tries his best to put other people first, even if they don't necessarily deserve it. He always remembers to thank other people if they do something kind for him and he abides by the Golden Rule.
RELAXED xxx»» Bill is a very laid-back person. He prefers more solitary, relaxed activities and isn't one one for getting too worked up over things. He's very slow to irritation or anger and usually takes everything in stride, preferring not to argue about things, especially with his friends. However, this also means he's not one to raise much of a fuss on his behalf or others, and would rather work things out one-on-one than get heated in public.
OBJECTIVE xxx»» Bill is a pretty neutral person who likes to consider all the facts before coming to a conclusion about something. He doesn't like to assume things about others and prefers to wait things out and see rather than instantly take up one fight or another. Overall, he tries to be fair and reasonable in all his doings, and to give people the benefit of the doubt, while also not excuse their poor behavior.
TRUSTWORTHY xxx»» Bill is a very trustworthy person. He's not someone inclined to lie, cheat, or deceive others, and is generally very honest, even if he tells the occasional white lie to spare someone's feelings. He's certainly someone who others can rely on to be a good friend and confidant, and he doesn't like to gossip or speculate about other's peoples' personal lives (maybe because he just doesn't care that much).
DEPENDENT xxx»» Bill can be very dependent. He tends to lean on the people around him for support, and, maybe due to growing up with both a controlling mother and a controlling sister, isn't used to being the one in charge or deciding what to do. It's much easier for him to let other people take over, although sometimes he resents that he isn't more assertive or independent. Still, being a bit needy has its good points: he can always count on someone else.
ADVENTUROUS xxx»» Bill is always willing to try new things and meet new people, and dislikes doing the same exact thing day after day. He may dislike sports, but he enjoys being active, or just doing things to pass the time like baking or reading. While he isn't always very talkative, he's usually very open and doesn't really care what other people think about him. He's willing to take risks and doesn't always think before he leaps.
Will I see you again? We like to hope, but no promises Where were you when my mind was at bay? But my heart told me to leave today And as long as there's a road No rain or no snow can ever slow me down
And you're down for the count You are dancing with men, going 'round and around And you're scared, and you're sure That your spine will dissolve, you will fall to the floor You will take what you need And the headaches will come, but at least you can breathe
MAISIƐ HƐAƬHƐR ƬHORƁURƝ HALFBLOOD │ FIRST YEAR │ UNSORTED
Maisie tried to contain her excited grin when her name was called; it seemed like it'd taken forever to get to Thorburn, but there it was. She'd basically been waiting for this moment her entire life, although she supposed it didn't really matter where she went. Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, Dad or Mum. All she cared about was fitting in where she was sorted, and, of course, making friends. She'd always been pretty good at that so she wasn't overly worried, but it'd be nice to have some assurances. Maisie liked knowing what was coming. Surprises were rarely good. So she was the teensiest it anxious about her sorting. At least it'd be over quick... probably. Hopefully. Definitely.
OOC:
CREATIVE xxx»» Maisie is a very creative person. She loves to sketch, paint, play, and listen to music. She views art and creativity as very valuable, and enjoys places like museums and libraries. She was a very imaginative child who loved playing dress up and pretending to be different people. At her best, her creativity allows her to think outside of the box and to get around problems without confronting them directly.
IDEALISTIC xxx»» Maisie is an idealist who tries to see the best in every person and every situation. She often assumes everyone around her has good or positive intentions, even when it couldn't be further from the truth. Maisie tries very hard to be optimistic and hopeful, even when things aren't going her way, and believes that at heart, most people want to do good, even if they make mistakes or foolish choices.
RESOURCEFUL xxx»» Maisie is a very resourceful person. She's a quick thinker and quick talker, which as a child allowed her to get out of trouble and win over adults, even while her siblings and friends were being fiercely scolded. She's also a very good liar, and due to her somewhat innocent look, can be very convincing when she wants to get out of a situation or get something. Maisie is good with coming up with plans on the fly and is also very observant of her surroundings and the people around her, which tends to work out in her favor.
COMPOSED xxx»» Maisie has always been a very composed, controlled person, who is always polite. Even if she's internally furious or heartbroken, she's able to not show it in the heat of the moment, although privately she might throw a fit or cry. It's very hard to ruffle her feathers because she works so hard on keeping calm and not letting herself show whether or not she's upset, which came in handy as someone with three younger siblings.
QUICK-WITTED xxx»» Maisie can come across as a bit shallow or as an airhead, but she's actually quite bright, and she can be very dry and sarcastic when she wants to, although she rarely voices what she really thinks aloud. Maisie is also good at piecing things together and taking mental notes of a situation, and has a talent for reading the mood of a room and knowing when (and when not) to speak up. She enjoys sly humor and isn't above getting in a few verbal jabs at her family and friends from time to time.
COMPASSIONATE xxx»» Maisie is at heart a very compassionate and caring person. She has no desire to see anyone hurt, even people who have been less than kind to her, and generally wants to help those around her, even when it comes at a risk to herself. She has a big heart, which often clashes with her more cool, controlled side, but in the end she usually does what she thinks is best for not just herself but the people she cares about.
There's the smoke, fills your lungs We will wait for the day, we'll rejoice when it comes On your birthday, you woke up The snow was on the ground You opened books and peeked inside They kissed you on your crown

I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction 'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try- I can't get no, I can't get no When I'm drivin' in my car and that man comes on the radio And he's tellin' me more and more about some useless information Supposed to fire my imagination, I can't get no, oh no no no no

Xia was a bundle of restless energy by the time it was finally her turn for the Hat. Having a surname at the end of the alphabet was awful. Now everyone'd be watching her impatiently, since they wanted to eat. Whatever, at least they'd all know who she was. She hoped the Hat laid out some sick rhymes for her, anyways. She could even beat-box for it, she was really good at that. Grinning, she bounded up to the stool and swung her legs carelessly, more than ready to get this whole nonsense over with. Houses didn't even matter, everyone knew that much.
OOC:
■ PLUCKY Xia is incredibly determined and not easily dissuaded; when she knows what she wants she immediately goes about trying her very hardest to get it. She's also quite bold; Xia isn't one to be intimidated or pushed around, and even when things get hard she can usually be relied on to keep her chin up through it all. However, her persistence can annoy and exasperate those with more realistic perceptions around her, and when she is feeling downtrodden, she is absolutely crushed. ■ WARMHEARTED Taught to always be kind, even when it's difficult from a very young age, Xia is open and accepting of almost everyone, and genuinely cares about the people around her. She tends to be sympathetic to the extreme, always ready to hear the other side of the story, and she is typically very quick to forgive and forget. But when she loses trust for someone, they never gain back the same respect she had for them before. ■ INDUSTRIOUS Xia is extremely diligent and hardworking, and likes to take her time to make sure everything is done correctly. Rarely does she quit or give up. However, the nature of the work tends to affect just how industrious she is. If it's something she enjoys doing, she could happily spend hours at it. If it's something she finds boring or tiresome, she could spend hours dragging her feet. She also has a bad habit of waiting until the last minute to do things, even if she always gets them done. ■ SPOILED Despite her determination and work ethic, it's not unusual for Xia to expect things to just be handed to her. When not challenged to work for what she wants, she can be very lazy. As the baby of her family she received quite a bit of attention from everyone around her, and when not at the center of things she can act as if everyone hates her. Xia is used to, and enjoys the spotlight, and when it suddenly goes out she feels lost. ■ FLIPPANT Xia isn't a very serious or formal person; serious people baffle her. As a result, she rarely takes things as importantly as she should, and she can come off as borderline impudent or disrespectful because of her penchant for grinning and laughing almost all the time. Nearly everything amuses her to some degree, even when it shouldn't, which means she doesn't always make the best first impressions. ■ SELF-PITYING Xia has an unfortunate tendency to feel very sorry for herself, and it holds her back. She's not insecure or overly self conscious, per say, but she tends to focus too much on her own worries and troubles, despite her positive outlook and hopes for the future. Sometimes it's hard for her to drag herself out of this despondent state, but she always bounces back.
When I'm watchin' my TV And that man comes on to tell me How white my shirts can be, But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke The same cigarettes as me
