DESCRIPTION:

1: What is your full name?
"It's Yamamoto Misaki."

2: Do you have a nickname, pseudonym, or alternate identity?
*Sighs.* "I've been called a lot though the years: Monster, freak, demon, soul stealer, cat monster, death incarnate and any variations or combinations of these are just a few of the not so nice ones. I'd rather hear shortened versions of my name or have an honorific added. I also respond to "kitten." *Blushes*

3: How tall are you?
"I'm about 5 feet 5 inches, which translates into about 165 cm."

4: How much do you weigh?
"Nahaha. *Raises indexfinger and waves it laughingly* You should know better than to ask a girl a question like that. My weight is for me and the bathroom weight to know, no one else."

5: What kind of build do you have (are you thin, fat, gangly, muscular, etc.)?
"I'd say I'm of normal or medium build. I have my feminine curves and bumps so I'm certainly not thin, but in my own opinion I'm not overweight nor muscular either. I believe in eating what you want and enjoy life, but unhealthy things should be eaten in moderate doses or confined to be eaten only in the weekends, while the weeks are "healthy days."

6: Describe your hair. What colour is it? What style do you keep it in?
"My hair is long, so long in fact that it stops a bit below my knees, halfway down on my calves, when I let it hang loose. I haven't exactly measured it though, so I can't tell its exact feet and inches or cm. It's also thick and smooth, so it's hard to curl it or anything because it just won't stick for a long time! It's really dark brown, almost borderline to black, but it has some lighter brown and even red-ish strands in it. I try to vary the style I keep it in, depending on the mood, how much time I have in the morning before getting out, or what I'm going to do that day. But either loose, in a ponytail of sorts or a braid is most common."

7: What colour are your eyes?
"My eyes are a golden yellow, and I think that must be quite rare because I haven't met anyone else with eyes of that colour yet."

8: What is your ethnicity?
"My father is a merchant from the Land of Thunder, and my mother is a kunoichi from the Land of Fire."

9: Do you have any unusual physical features?
"Well… Besides my golden eyes, I have some upper teeth that are so pointy that I call them fangs instead of teeth. Like Kiba's. Can that count as an unusual physical feature? Oh, and my ears are kinda pointy in the ends/tips, they're not the normal round shape. But other than that I think I'm pretty normal-looking." *Laughs.*

10: Are you considered to be attractive?
*Closes her eyes and thinks hard.* "Ehh… I guess I look… Exotic, if you can call it that, due to my long dark hair, golden yellow eyes, the pointy ears and fangs. And exotic are probably considered attractive, so I guess I do."

11: What does your voice sound like?
"My voice sounds like… err… my voice? *Sticks her tongue out.* Hehehe, nah, I dunno, it's hard to pin down a certain sound to describe my voice, I think it sounds normal, and not special at all. But others have said that it kinda reminds them of silver bells chiming when I talk or especially when I laugh. Don't ask me where they get that from, though." *Shakes head smiling.*

12: What kind of accent do you have?
"I've been told that I often have kinda… er… cat-like sounds in the end of my sentences. You know, like "nyan" or something along those lines. But other than that I don't think I have any kind of accent."

13: Do you have a favourite quote or commonly used saying?
"I have a few actually, so I won't list them. But one the ones I say from time to time is: "It all works out in the end for good girls and boys.""

14: Is there any particular facial expression that you are known to wear often (sour glare, cheeky grin, etc.)?
"I think I usually wear a normal smile on my lips, or a neutral or a kinda spaced out/thoughtful expression."

15: Are you known for having any particular mannerisms (gestures, habits, or ways of doing things)?
"I usually lift my hands with my palms up while shrugging if I'm asked something I don't know the answer to. And I'm prone to facepalming when hearing about something really stupid, or crossing my arms when leaning on something like a wall. I could probably go on, I use a lot of body language."

16: Do you have any allergies, diseases, debilitating injuries, or other physical weaknesses?
"I think I'm allergic to idiots and jerks. *Laughs* But you probably meant "real" allergies, didn't you? Nah, I don't have any allergies for certain foods, pets, dust, medicine or insects/snakes. At least, that's what the tests I've taken at the hospital have said.

When it comes to diseases, debilitating injuries, or other physical weaknesses, I think I should let Sakura-san or Tsunade-sama take a close inspection of me because I think there's something wrong with my lower back. Probably just some vertebras that's grown together more than they should or something, I'm a bit stiff there. And I've had a problem with tendonitis in my wrists, exhaustion, some headaches but other than that, not much."

17: Do you have any scars, tattoos or birthmarks?
"I have a few scars here and there from training and injuries and stuff, but they've healed so much that you can barely see them or feel them with your fingers. I'm not going to show you them though. I have no birthmarks, but I have a tattoo of a crescent moon on my forehead, to represent the village that I'm from."

18: How good is your personal hygiene?
"I consider it to be normal to very good. I take a shower or a bath at least every other day where I take a thorough cleaning, scrubbing and shaving of myself, if I can't do it every day. I change my underwear, socks and tops every day whereas pants/shorts gets changed every other day."

19: Do you wear perfume or cologne?
"I wear deodorant on a daily basis, but I use perfume when I remember it or feel like it and on special occasions. I prefer light and flowery scents like lily of the valley, vanilla or stuff like that."

20: What is your preferred style of dress?
"I usually sport shorts/capris/pants of some kind and a top/singlet and my ninja shoes/boots together with gloves. I have an opinion on which colours match and don't match or what looks good together and so on, but I'm not all that hung up in fashion. As long as I feel comfortable in it and I look decent in my eyes, I can and will wear almost anything."

21: Do you wear glasses or contact lenses? If so, are you near sighted or far sighted?
"I wear neither, my vision is 20/20."

22: Do you wear jewelry or other accessories?
"I have pierced ears, one in each lobe and one in each eartip. I also have a piercing in my right nostril. But other than that I just normally wear a simple necklace or something."

23: Are you left or right-handed?
"I fight with one sword in each hand so I'm almost ambidextrous, but with just one weapon or a pen or something, I'm right-handed."

VITAL STATISTICS:

24: How old are you exactly?
"I'm 22."

25: When is your birthday?
"I'm born on the 10.th of June."

26: Where were you born?
"In the Hidden Village of the Moon, which isn't actually a ninja-village at all, but a village that my mom and dad kinda established."

27: Where do you live now?
"I live in Konoha, in Kiba's apartment to be exact while waiting for the opportunity to get my own place. After all, the 4.th great ninja war didn't end too long ago and there are projects all over Konoha to erect enough houses for everyone. And the original inhabitants of Konoha is before me in the line, so I'll just have to wait."

28: What is your nationality?
"Seeing as mom and dad are from different countries, I'm a bit of both. But I've spent most of my life in the Land of Fire, so I guess that what's my nationality is."

29: What is your occupation?
*Laughs* "As of now I'm playing house-wife for Kiba and I've been doing so for a while, doing house-chores and so on in addition to helping out with the Inuzuka family's dogs so that I can stay in his apartment, because I have no income to pay for food or rent.

But I want to become a ninja, and I've recently gotten Tsunade-sama's reply on my application to join the Academy. I'm starting next Monday! *Grins* I'm probably gonna get a part-time job in addition, so that I don't have to be a burden anymore."

30: Do you belong to any exclusive groups (guilds, clubs, teams, religious sects, etc.)?
"No."

31: Do you hold any rank or special position within your occupation or group (team captain, chairman, chief engineer, head nurse, treasurer, etc.)?
"No."

32: What social class do you belong to?
"Well, my mom and dad established the village that I'm from, and they're the head of the village so that kinda makes me upper class. But if you compare it with other villages, it would probably be on the same level as either upper middle class, or middle class."

33: Do you hold any noble titles or estates?
"Nah… I wouldn't call it noble titles as such, but since my family is the head family in my village, and I'm their oldest child, that would probably make me an heir of some kind. And we have some estate, but not much compared to others."

34: Do you have a criminal record? </b>
*Shifts a little in the chair and clears her throat.* "Not criminal record per say… But I've done some things that can be considered un-lawful and been punished for it…"

FAMILY:

35: Who are/were your parents? Tell us about them.
"My dad, Yamamoto Kai, was a merchant from the Land of Thunder and travelled all over the world selling all kinds of stuff, but he specialized in ninja-weapons and ninja-accessories. My mom, Yamamoto Noriko (maiden name Suzuki Noriko) was a kunoichi from the Land of Fire or more correctly from Konoha. They bumped into each other when dad was in Konoha to re-stock his supplies before hitting the road again. Mom actually smacked him on the head for coming with a kinda crude remark about the size of her breasts, *snickers* but when he asked her out on a dinner as an apology, she didn't refuse. My mom then joined him on his travels for a good while, but when she became pregnant with me they decided to settle down near a busy road and after a while, friends and family of them both came to live with them and then the Village of the Moon was established."

36: Do you have any siblings? If so, tell us about them.
"I have a brother named Haoru, he's about 4 years younger than me. He's a blacksmith by trade and makes a lot of weapons that both civilians and ninja's can use. He's constantly designing new weapons or trying to improve already existing weapons. *Smiles warmly* He's a smart and hardworking guy."

37: Who are/were your grandparents?
"I only have vague memories of my grandparents on my mom's side, since they died before I turned 4. *Smiles sadly.* But I remember them as kind, warm and loving people, both of them and I talk to them every day, even if that might sound crazy to you. Grandma Maya on my dad's side makes some of the best dinners you can sink your teeth into! Though it's a bit annoying that she asks you like 5 times at each dinner if you're full or if you want more and so on, even if you've assured her that you're ready to burst… *Rolls eyes and laughs* Granddad Tohru can come out as a gruff loudmouth with a sharp tongue, but he's one of the kindest people you'll ever meet once you get to know him."

38: Do you have any aunts, uncles, or cousins?
"On my dad's side, I've only got one aunt which has two daughters. And my mom is one out of seven children, where two of them are my uncles and the rest are aunts. All of them have been or are married, and have had at least two children each so her side of the family tree is actually quite big!"

39: Do you have a notorious or celebrated ancestor? If so, tell us how their legacy affects you.
"Sorry to disappoint but I don't have any notorious or celebrated ancestor. I come from a plain lineage. *Laughs.*

40: How close are you to your family in general?
"I'm actually very close to my family, especially my mom, dad and little brother. I've been out travelling since I was 16 years old, but I'm back at the Village between two and four times a year or so. But I send them a message with regular intervals to keep them updated."

PERSONALITY:

41: Are you basically an optimist, a realist, or a pessimist?
"I see myself as a realist, but I always try to look on the bright side of things and believe that things will work out somehow."

42: Are you spontaneous or do you always need to have a plan?
"I'm actually a bit of both, depending on what it is. Like for example if I'm doing housework or going for a shopping trip, I like to have a list/plan to go by so that I'm sure I get everything I need and get it done right the first time. But if for example Hinata or Kiba asks me if I wanna eat out one evening, I'll just freshen up a bit and tag along with them."

43: Do you like to take risks or do you prefer to play it safe?
"I'm the kind of girl that wanna look before I leap, to put it that way, no matter what the situation is. I think a lot, and probably over-think a lot of things as well, but I like at least having a general idea of the different actions I can take and the consequences it will give for myself and potential others that are involved."

44: Are you generally laid back or are you inclined to worry?
"Heh, this one kinda reminds me of the ones above here but… I'm mostly laid-back I think, thinking that everything will sort itself out in the end somehow. But I do worry from time to time, like if people aren't back from a mission at the anticipated time or an animal is sick or something like that."

45: Do you like to make jokes or do you prefer to keep things serious?
"I think that everything has its time and place. I like to keep it serious when the situation that I'm in is serious, and I laugh with my acquaintances when I'm having fun. So I guess I'm somewhere in the middle."

46: How well do you work under pressure/to a deadline?
*Shrugs* "To tell you the truth, I haven't been in a situation where I'm under pressure or a deadline as of yet, so I honestly wouldn't know. I've been wandering the world at my own leisurely pace, doing what I want, when I want and how I want. But I guess I'll find out when and if I graduate from the Academy and are assigned to a genin-team, to start taking on missions."

47: Do you prefer to work with your head or your hands?
"I like to think that I'm somewhere in the middle on that one. I don't consider myself to be extremely intelligent, nor extremely practical with my hands, so a bit of both."

48: Would you call yourself a perfectionist?
"Hmmm… *Thinks hard.* To a degree, I'd call myself an perfectionist. I want to get it right and I do my best to learn things so that I can do them right on the first try, or at least as good as my abilities allow me at the time. But I'm not "OCD-perfectionist" where every picture frame has to hang just so and the potted plants are facing that way and so on. I'd imagine that would just be tiring and annoying."

49: What makes you happy, and why?
"When my family, acquaintances/friends and loved ones are safe, warm and happy, I'm happy. I'm also happy when I can enjoy a hot shower or preferably a bath at the end of a long day."

50: What makes you sad, and why?
"When I can't say or do anything for the people I care about to help them with their troubles, I feel so… So… Powerless, you know?"

51: What makes you angry, and why?
*Snickers* Oh, I have A LOT of things that make me angry, so if I were to list them all, you'd stop reading the list halfway through. But I can give three examples:
1) People who don't take properly care of their pet. If they aren't taking care of it properly due to lack of information and they truly love their pets and they ask for help, they should be educated to become better pet owners. But if they do something to harm an animal in any way intentionally… *Snarls.*
2) People who hurt or molest children and rapes people. What kind of pathetic person must you be when you vent your problems out on your children, or you have to rape someone to "get some"?! I mean, seriously! *Hisses* I'd rather not go into my "ideas" for dealing with such scumbags, kiddies might read this interview.
3) People who think they are better than others due to lineage, social class and stuff like that, and demands special treatment. They just deserve to have my hand connect with their jaw."

52: What gets you excited, and why?
"I like it when I can test myself, push my limits and grow as a person in some way. I love learning something new, no matter what it is."

53: What makes you stressed, and why?
"I get stressed when I'm late for something, or when it seems that everything is going downhill fast."

54: What makes you frustrated, and why?
"When I don't understand something, or have trouble grasping/leaning something that I REALLY wanna learn, I get frustrated."

55: Are you short tempered? How well do you keep your cool?
"I try my best to keep my temper on a leash, and USUALLY I have a fairly long fuse. But if you push the right buttons (or wrong buttons, however you wanna see it) I can blow up in just a short while."

56: How easily do you get depressed or discouraged?
"I get discouraged when I've been working really hard on something, and I fail time and again and again. But I'm stubborn too, so I eventually get back to trying again."

57: When was the last time you cried?
"The last time I really cried was when I found out that my cat through 13 years, Kou, had passed away after he had been sick for a while. He… He… *Clears throat* He just suddenly stopped eating and drank loads of water and threw it back up… And.. Eh… He lost weight and became really tired and slept a lot… I remember last time I was home, I saw he was sick and I spent as much time with him as I possibly could, feeling it in my soul that he'd be gone soon. I'd just have him in my lap and talk to him and pet him and… *Wipes away a tear on her cheek and rubs her eyes.* Ahem... I'm sorry, it's just… It's hard to talk about it still and it's been nearly a year now… He was my best friend through the good and the bad parts of my life, so it was kinda like getting stabbed and gutted when I got word from my family that he had passed on shortly after I left. *Sniffles* But he's in a better place now, where he is young and healthy again and well taken care of. I talk to him every day so I don't feel so lonely when I'm out travelling. He's waiting for me on the other side." *Smiles widely, eyes closed and wipes away another tear.*

58: Do you have any fears or phobias? What is your greatest fear?
*Sniffles into a napkin and shifts uncomfortably.* Yeah… uhm… I'm afraid of… Thunderstorms. It may sound crazy, but I hide under the covers, and preferably under a table or in a closet while it lasts. So one of my greatest fears is to be caught outside in a field or something in a thunderstorm."

59: What gives you a feeling of satisfaction or fulfillment?
"When I've accomplished or finished something I've worked really hard on/for and the results are good."

60: Do you adhere to a code of conduct which guides or restricts your actions?
"I would say that, yeah. I have my set of… you may call it standards, on what I will do and what I won't do."

61: Do you make promises or oaths? If so, do you keep them?
"When I make a promise, I do my very best to keep it. And if I screw up and breaks the promise, I'd do anything to set things right. But I wouldn't swear on my own or anyone's life that I'd keep it or whatever."

62: Do people consider you to be trustworthy?
"I hope so at least, because I consider myself to be trustworthy. If you tell me a secret, I'd take it to the grave."

63: Do you have any secrets? If so, does anybody know about them, and how did they find out?
*Fidgets and frowns* "Yes, I've got my secrets as we all do. But so far only my own village, I and Tsunade-sama knows about it. My Village knew from the moment I was born, I was told at the age of about 4 or something and Tsunade-sama found out when she had examined me after Kiba brought me to the hospital. I haven't told anyone else… yet."

64: List three of your quirks or other defining characteristics.
"Ohhhh… That's a tough one. Uhm… *Thinks.* I'd say I'm a good people-reader, and can easily read a person's personality and figure out if I can get along with him/her or not or their mood and so on. I also have a tendency to talk to myself or animals, out loud, because then you get such good answers, and the answers you want! *Laughs and sticks tongue out* That's two down, one to go… Hmmm... Oh! When I eat watermelons, I spit out the seeds, because my mother once told me when I was a kid that if I ate them I would grow a watermelon in my stomach. *Snickers* That one has been stuck ever since, and besides, I think the seeds taste weird."

65: Do you have any bad habits? If so, have you tried to kick them?
*Snickers* "Don't we all have bad habits? When I was a kid, I picked my nose but that's a gross habit I kicked before I turned 6. Bleh! I've also stopped biting my nails, saying that I don't like stuff without tasting it, chewing on my hair… That's just a few."

66: Do you have any good habits?
"Yep! I always check that the doors and windows are locked before going to bed. I turn of the lights in the rooms where I'm not. I always floss before brushing my teeth and use mouthwash afterwards." *Flashes a big white smile.*

67: Do you have any vices?
"Yeah, I'm VERY meat-hungry. So whenever I have a dinner where I get some kind of meat, I almost always overeat. *Sighs* And I simply LOVE ice cream and mint chocolates. So if you've been a jerk and you wanna set things right, start off with making a meat filled dinner followed with ice cream and chocolates, and you'll come a long way." *Laughs*

68: Describe what would be a typical day/week for you?
"As of right now, a typical day for me would be to get up and do some house chores. Then I help out at the Inuzuka's by feeding, bathing, grooming, walking, playing with their dogs and so on, so to kinda "earn" to stay with Kiba since I have no income as of yet. When I'm done it's back to Kiba's place to relax a little bit with a book or something before I finish the house chores and make dinner. Clean up after that, take a shower, go to bed and repeat the next day. *Sighs* I really hope I get accepted into the academy, to see if I have any skills being a ninja so maybe I can supplement the household a bit with a little income. If not, I guess I can get some work at a nearby shop or something."

ABILITIES AND TRAITS:

69: Do you have any special skills or abilities? If so, how did you acquire them?
"Other than my amazing talents when it comes to playing housewife? *Laughs.* I'd say that I'm pretty good at fighting with my two short swords, which my mom has taught me. I'd also say that I'm a decent fighter without my swords or any other weapons in my hands but I'm not of the strongest girls out there so I'm more of a "strike-and-evade" type, a defensive fighter."

70: Do you have any serious difficulties with certain skills or abilities?
*Chuckles* "I can't draw or paint to save my life. Which is, in fact kinda sad because I like drawing, but whatever I see in my mind's eye NEVER gets from my head, through my arm, down my fingers, into the pencil and down on the paper in a way that I'm satisfied with." *Sighs.*

71: Are you particularly athletic?
*Shrugs* Well, my fightingstyle, with or without weapons in hand, requires quite a bit of stamina and agility, so I'd say that I'm athletic in that way. But I'm not all that strong."

72: Do you participate in any kind of sports?
"Ah no, my village isn't all that big so there were few children there of my own age… And… I haven't been all that much with people my own age… I mostly spent time with my family or I kept to myself… or where kept out…" *Smiles sadly*


73: Can you ride an animal, or drive a vehicle of some kind?
"I can ride a horse and that's about it I think. I hope Kiba will let me ride Akamaru once, it would have been fun to try!"

74: Are you proficient in any martial or combative skills (martial arts, fencing, gunfighting, etc.)?
*Smiles* I'd say I am. I mean, I fight the best with my two short swords, but I know the basics of a few other weapons. And without weapons my fighting style is like a mix of gymnastics, dance and martials arts like capoeira and parkour. Since I'm not all that strong and my strong suits are stamina and agility, the "fighting" is more or less a series of irritating blows to tease a foe so that they'll make a mistake, to distract them so another can attack, to keep them on arms length or to get close enough to grab some limb into a lock of some kind."

75: Are you gifted when it comes to intellectual pursuits?
*Thinks* "Hmm... I consider myself normal or slightly above normally smart because when it comes most things I'm a fast learner, but I wouldn't say that I'm a genious with an IQ above 200, like Shikamaru or anything. I don't like are anything that has to do with math though. Bleh, numbers." *Shivers.*

76: Do you speak more than one language?
"Nah, I've only picked up a few words here and there while on my travels, but I dunno what language it is or what it means and I certainly can't make myself understood with the little I know."

77: Do you have a good memory, or do you tend to forget things?
"I'd say I have a good memory, for the most part. But don't ask me what I ate for breakfast two weeks back, because it's not THAT good! *Laughs*

78: How long is your attention span?
"Depends on what the subject or situation is. If it's about something that don't directly concern me or anyone I know and I'm not particularly interested in the topic, I'd probably zone out pretty fast. But if it is something I find interesting, I'm listening intently."

79: How good is your sense of direction? Do you get lost easily?
"I admit it, I have problems finding the right direction to go if I don't have a map and compass and some kind of landmark. Which is why I'm always interested in getting a newer map. Some guy once taught me a nifty way to find out which way was north, but I don't remember it…" *Smiles sheepishly.*

80: Are you particularly artistic?
*Snorts* "Like I said earlier, I can't draw or paint to save my life, so I guess not."

81: Do you have any talent for music?
"Not for playing instruments at far as I know, because I've never had any interest in it. And my singing voice isn't much to brag about either. It's OK enough to hum or sing for myself while working and taking a shower, or to lull babies or children to sleep. But I'd never sing in front of others or on a stage or something."

82: Can you dance?
*Laughs* Considering that I kinda summed up my non-weapons fighting style like a sort of dance in an earlier question, yes. But I've never DANCED danced, if you catch my drift, either choreographed or freestyle to music and such at… parties or anything. But I think it could have been fun to try it out if the occasion arises. I like to think that I have a lot of rhythm in me." *Winks*

83: Do you have any acting talent?
"I haven't tried it so I wouldn't know."

84: Can you cook?
*Nods* "My mother taught me from an early age to cook different stuff so I guess I'm an normally OK cook. But my grandmother is better than my mom, but that's because she's lived longer and therefore have more experience."

85: Do you have any knowledge of medicine?
*Shrugs* Nah, not much at least. I know stuff like applying pressure to a wound, CPR, splinting limbs to stabilize them, the recovery position, the symptoms for shock or dehydration and so on. The most basic stuff, which everyone should have been taught in case of an emergency, in other words."

86: Are you any good with machines or electronics?
*Waves hand up and down* "I'd say "so-so." I can do some basic things, but not much. I'm not particularly interested in machines and stuff."

RELATIONSHIPS:

87: Who is the most important person in your life and why?
"Ohh… That's a tough nut… *Thinks* I can't decide one over the others, so I'd have to say my closest family. Because they're my flesh and blood, and I love them."

88: Do you have a significant other? If so, tell us about them.
*Blushes* No, I don't at the moment, but I hope that I'll get one someday…

89: What do you look for in a potential romantic partner?
"Ahh… *Looks away dreamy eyed* Personalitywise, he should be a nice guy who love me for me and respects who and what I am. And off course, it would be great if he could get along with my family. That's the most important things, but I have loads of other qualities that I would like him to have but that would take time to list them all. And it also wouldn't hurt if he looked good! *Winks* Last time Sakura and I had a "girltalk", she summed up my dreamguy as "a good boy with the looks of a bad boy." *Snorts from laughing.* I'm not sure if she had anyone in mind when she said that, because she suddenly had this really sneaky look… Hmm…"

90: Who is the person you respect the most and why?
"It's gotta be my mom and dad, equally. They're just awesome in their own ways, that's why. *Snickers* I couldn't have asked for better parents."

91: Do you have a mentor or person to look up to? If so, tell us how they influenced you.
"Besides my mom and dad, I can't really say that I have any mentors or people I look up to. *Shrugs* I've had a bunch of different mentors growing up and they never stuck around long enough for me to really get to know them, other than some technique of some kind."

92: Who is the person you despise the most and why?
"There was a really old lady in my village that I couldn't stand the face of. Not that she was ugly or anything but when I was really small she… did something to me that my parents were against. *Shifts uncomfortably.* I was too small to actually remember what she did but when I got older I was told by my mom and then things just clicked into place, like why people preferred to keep a distance from me and some other stuff. But as I got older I've come to sorta understand why she did what she did, and that I'm a stronger person today as an result of her actions. And I don't despise her… as much. Just a little bit."

93: Do you have any rivals? If so, describe the nature of your rivalry.
"Nope, I don't think I have any rivals, at least not that I know of."

94: Do you have any enemies? If so, tell us about them and why they are your enemy.
"Nah, I don't think I have any enemies either. But, if I become a ninja, I'll probably get some then."

95: Do you tend to argue with people, or do you try to avoid conflict?
"I try my best to avoid a conflict if I can, but if people push the right/wrong buttons and I can't control my temper any longer, you'd better watch out!"

96: How quickly do you judge others?
"I try my best to not be judgmental before I've gotten to know the person a little but, I'm only human, so I occasionally judge people from the way they look, talk or from what I've heard from others or whatever. *Shrugs* Sometimes the "first impressions" are right, other times it's wrong."

97: How long do you usually have to know somebody before you are willing to trust them?
"That depends on how well I feel I connect or click with the person in question. Sometimes I feel I can trust someone after a week or a month if I spent a lot of time with them, and other times it can take several months before I trust someone."

98: Do you hold grudges?
"Sure, don't we all? *Snorts* I have some grudges towards some people from my village and I'll probably never get over them completely because they're set so deep. But those things usually just surface when I'm home for a visit and I happen to meet the persons involved, so it's not something I think about on a daily basis. I try my best to not hold grudges for a long time, no matter if the issue is small or big. That's because thinking of the issue gives me bad energy, which makes me irritable and drained."

99: Do you have a lot of friends?
*Shakes head* "From my own village, no. And I've only been in Konoha for such a short time, that I can't really call all the people I've met for friends yet, they're more like… acquaintances. But I feel that there are a few that I connect with better than others, and I would like to call them my friends one day." *Smiles*

100: Who is your best friend?
"I'd say my mom. *Smiles* I can talk to her about anything and get some really great advice and support. But I want some friends my age as well…"

101: Do you find it easy to make friends?
"Based on how it was at home, it wasn't/isn't easy and I never really succeeded, so I'll see how this goes now that I've come to a new place, and hope for the best."

102: How well do you get along with strangers?
"I'm usually very careful when it comes to strangers. But I think of myself as a good people reader or having a good intuition, so I usually go with my gut feeling on whether or not to trust a stranger I've recently met. Depends on how well I click with the person in question, like I've said earlier."

103: In social situations, do you tend to take the lead, or go with the flow?
*Thinks* "I'm the kind of person that just kinda goes with the flow, I guess, unless I'm asked for an opinion or idea of what to do or so on."

104: Do you like interacting with large groups of people, or do you prefer small groups?
"I don't have any problems with a big group, though I'd rather hang out in a smaller group. Less chattering and the need to be loud leads to less strain on my ears." *Snickers.*

105: Do you like spending time alone?
"Oh yes, definitely. Actually, I think I have a NEED to be alone or have some me-time every once in a while, if I've been around people a bit too much. I've been semi-alone most of my life, so I'm kinda used to be alone."

106: If you had to be stuck on a deserted island, who is the one person you would want to have with you, and why?
*Sucks in air though teeth* "That's a hard one… *Thinks.* Well, I could always bring either my mom, dad or little brother, because they all have their strong points that would help us either survive or get off the island. But I can't decide on which one, actually."

107: Who is the last person you would want to be stuck on a deserted island with?
*Scoffs* That's gotta be the old hag from my village, or some other people from the village that either hurt me or my family. Then I'd really quickly be alone on that island… And prefer it that way."

108: Are you a listener or a talker?
*Laughs* "I'd say both. At times I can be a real chatterbox, and other times I can sit for a long time and just listen to others talk. Depends on the topic."

109: Do you like to pull practical jokes, play pranks, or tease others?
"I'm not much of a practical joker nor a prankster, but I do love to tease someone every once in a while. It's all in good fun and I never mean any harm by it."

110: Do you like children?
"With the little experience I have with them, yes, but not as much when they're smelly or screaming. Their shrill screaming hurts my ears… But if I ever get one myself, I'd probably love her/him to bits, no matter the smell or screaming."

111: Do you like animals?
"Yes, very much so! Cats or any other feline is my top favourite, then wolves and dogs follow on a very close second place. I don't like fish, birds, snakes and creepy-crawlies like spiders and such." *Shivers.*

112: Do you have any pets or animal companions?
"My family is made up out of real animallovers, so I think we've had at least 3-4 cats and 1-2 dogs any given time while growing up. I've never had any pets or animal companions with me on the road, but here at Kiba's we have Akamaru and the others. Oh, and I've saved these adorable little kittens from death by drowning a while back! *Points to a cushion in a corner of the room, 4 small balls of fur sleeping soundly.* I haven't had the heart to give them away, they're not even properly potty-trained nor do they eat and drink on their own yet."

113: How do you relate to members of a different race?
"I personally think people are one race no matter if they're from the Land of Earth, Thunder, Fire or anywhere else. They're all people, even if we look, talk, think, behave etc differently, but that's just due to where we're born and raised."

114: How do you relate to members of the same gender as yours?
"Well… *Thinks* I think that I relate to other girls just fine, as long as they're not complete airheads. *Shakes head* I get really irritated by their stupidity, no matter if she's born that way or if it's an act."

115: How about members of the opposite gender?
"I think I relate to guys better than girls, but that may just be because I think I'm kinda tomboyish myself. And if guys have a problem with something or someone, they're usually upfront about it, whereas girls tends to cluster together and freeze you out and spread untrue rumours… *Grumbles.* I'd like to get the fight outta the way and be done with it rather than walking around for weeks or months and being treated like shit."

116: How do you relate to people from a different social class?
"Hey, as long they treat me with the respect I deserve, I'll treat them with the respect they deserve, no matter if they're lower, middle or upper social class. Talk condescending or badly about me or someone I know or love, and I won't tolerate it even if you're really high up on the social ladder."

117: How do you get along with people in general?
"In general, I'd say… I get along with people on an OK or normal level."

118: Are you inclined to act differently among certain people or groups?
"I try my best to be true to myself no matter who I'm around at the moment, but since I'm a person and we all have a wide array of sides or "masks" of ourselves, there's bound to be some differences depending on the person or group I'm around."
