Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Rosalind Naaktgeboren

Age: 90+

Species: Angelic (ofanim)

Occupation: Health teacher and school counsellor

Personality: A buoyant bottle of shaken-up soda if ever there was one, Lindy's main phaser setting is Hooray!, a very thick shield of sparkly cheerfulness and enormous energy that makes watching her work tend to give people a headache. Her mood is very hard to shake out of Hooray!; thankfully, she does not expect other people to be in Hooray!, or to actually keep up with her as she mows through life leaving small fires in her wake. Sure, you will come along, but you can have a sit-down once in a while and it is important you are enjoying yourself. Lindy's complaints and frustrations are either expressed in one-minute sighs or one-minute spates of anger (generally directed at amorphous objects) before clicking back into Hooray!.

Her enthusiasm and love of life is generally catching, though some individuals will inevitably want to hit her with a bat over and over and over until she stops talking. For Lindy is a talker; her mouth and jaw muscles are exquisitely worked into power machine that does not need to take a breath, and she can in fact turn her brain almost solely to doing something else constructive with her hands as she natters on and on and on and on. Then she will eagerly listen to what you have to say, but if you do not have anything to say, she can go on and on and on and on for you.

Lindy is saved from being a kitten who just smoked a sugar crack pipe by a number of qualities; she is completely frank, open and upfront, with a sense of humour bordering on rueful about herself; sure, she takes her stance on anti-Japanese dolphin fishing very seriously, but that doesn't mean she can't also look at her lifestyle as being one of the most hilarious things in the world, especially when she is chained to a government building and singing Kumbayah. She likes enjoying life on deep, primal, easily understood levels; she has been a wife and is a mother four times over, has been through some terrible stress and traumatic times, and life is too short to waste on stupid things you don't need. She has been born more than a handful of times over and this has matured her greatly: there is a definite person under the candy-coated veneer. She is emotionally generous, caring and insightful. She is just a person constantly in motion. Pink motion.

Other: Lindy is mother to four children, one from a previous reincarnation: Briah, Shaktiel, Zi'iel and Repha'im (or in mortal terms, Melly, Mia, Sabrina and... well, Repha'im). Sabrina is happily married with a number of her own children, Mia single and wafting in and out of her mother's house, Briah recovering from long stints of being Miss America and Repha'im currently 'indisposed.'
