November
[MENTION=19719]Forever[/MENTION] [MENTION=27495]Punderstorm[/MENTION] I'm trying to get this thread to trend again because it's so much fun.
Appearance: November likes simple, understated fashion. Her favorite outfits consist of large, comfy sweaters, like her older sister, March. November doesn’t put much effort into her appearance. It just isn’t important to her. November appears cozy and unconcerned with high fashion.
Personality: November is an anxious girl. When negative events happen, she tends to freak out and become irrational with what-if questions. It is as though she needs to hear “it’s okay†dozens of times until she feels better. Her doubts often annoy her friends and family, who get tired of repeating themselves. November’s vivid imagination, which is capable of coming up with worst case scenarios, is also used to her advantage. She frequently surprises people with her creative talents. Friends truly appreciate her interesting way of life; November can be quite entertaining with her quirkiness and somewhat crazy antics. November is very sensitive and easily hurt. In order to process her emotions, November needs to talk to her friends and family to receive feedback or sympathy. She just has a copious amount of feelings. Around acquaintances or strangers, November is reserved and restrained. She would rather be alone than with new people. This can upset November, because she feels like she has several different identities--the one she has around friends, the one around strangers, and the one by herself. She knows that she isn’t fake, that all of her identities are true, like a many-sided die, but she still has doubts. Friends would describe her as gregarious and curious, while others would say she’s a quiet loner. She can be around close friends for a day or two without becoming very tired, but she drains very quirkly around anyone else. This causes November a lot of internal conflict. She’s an optimist and a pessimist. She’s a good girl and a rebel. She’s an extrovert and an introvert. She’s terribly unsure of herself.
Wants: November wants her friends and family to love her. When she senses even the tiniest bit of affection from them, she glows. She loves approval, and will start to wilt and become irrational if she does not receive it for a while. November wants to make a difference in the world, and she does. She has become known for being an inspiring person, using her creativity for good. Although undemanding and usually content in the background, she becomes unforgettable when she’s brave enough to put herself out there. November is unlike any other, and that fact makes her shine inside. She wants to be her own unique person, and loves being called weird or abnormal. November wants people to trust her. She’s so loyal to her close group that it hurts. If she got a desperate call at 4 in the morning, she’d walk 5 miles barefoot to get to her loved one.
Likes: November enjoys reading and writing. She has always had a peculiar gift for words. One day, she hopes to become a writer. November likes to take walks and listen to music while she digs deep into her imagination. She has at least a dozen journals lying around. She refuses to throw away of them, hoarding them as items of nostalgia. November takes great joy in thinking about her past, both negative and positive. She has spent hours looking through her old stories, journals, social media, and emails. Sometimes she becomes stuck in her past, and needs reminding that she can’t live in the old times. November likes fantasy. She spends quite a bit of time imagining being rescued by loved ones, finding true love, and admittedly, getting into tumultuous situations. She’s a deep thinker and enjoys theoretical situations, although too much just makes her head spin.
Fears: November is afraid of being abandoned by the people she loves most. She’s terrified to lose them, so she does everything possible to keep them, even if it means hiding some of her frustration. Her desire to be cared about conflicts with her desire to not be a burden to people. When faced with the threat of abandonment, November becomes so frazzled that she has to withdraw from the situation and be alone to calm herself down. Then she comes back, trying to pretend that nothing is wrong. People see right through her; she is a very bad liar. At her worst, November becomes obsessed and dependent on her close circle. She does not trust herself. She is indecisive, and automatically assumes that she will not make the right decision. Thus, she lets her friends and family make decisions--after all, she is easygoing and okay with almost everything, especially if she’s surrounded by good people. Even on her own, she feels like people are watching her do things the wrong way, and she has to remind herself that she is, in fact, alone. November is uncomfortable with stressful or fast-paced situations; she likes when things are quiet and leisurely. November is terrified of change (unless she’s in control of it), because she’s afraid it will cause her to lose the people she loves. Ever since a child, November was a worrisome and conflict-avoidant girl who didn’t want to rock the boat. Then at times, she was a revolutionary. She’s afraid when she’s in a position of authority, and she’d rather just watch and let other people make decisions.
Lessons she needs to learn: Nobody is going to abandon you. You need to learn to be independent and make your own decisions. You need to trust yourself. It’s important to find balance. Don’t take your negative thinking to extremes. Everything is going to be okay. Your mind always exaggerates things, and it’s not as bad as it seems.
