Hobbies:Reading - Books of autobiographies, books of fiction, books with pictures, books without pictures, tell Elysha about them, and she might end up adding them to the list of books she has read over the years. In addition to having watched Anastasia and Cinderella as animated movies, Elysha has also read the book releases of them as a child after seeing them. Elysha is inclined to turn to books as both a means of entertainment and stress relief. Her favorite part of reading books is the experiences of adventure she seeks out inside the pages in different shapes and forms. But of course, having grown up with tales that include a fair share along similar types as those about Disney princesses, journeys of good versus evil, discoveries of magical worlds, Winnie the Pooh and his friends, Sojourner Truth's bravery, and romantic comedies, she'd be willing to admit that this ratio depicting the trend of her story choices continues on. At present, she is following the Farm Fresh Series and other works of Valerie Comer and Nakamura Yoshiki-sensei's manga Skip Beat! while also taking to reading any more titles that also catch her interest. From time to time she also rereads feel good storylines when seeking a cheerful lift in her mood or a relaxing reenergizer.
Dancing - Elysha loves to dance ballet as well as dabble in other dance types that inspire her to attempt them. She grew up taking ballet lessons at a studio that also offered classes in jazz, tap, hiphop, and tumbling. Being that the owners of the studio were also ballet instructors there, she occasionally tried out other forms of dance though only enrolled in ballet since from time to time there would be some incorporations into dance pieces to mix different types, for instance a concert piece including elements of ballet and jazz. From beginning to intermediate then to advanced level ballet, dancing since she was three years old is a huge part of the reason for her graceful bearing on and off the dance floor. Ask her what her favorite pair of high heels are and she'll happily answer pointe shoes without a moment's hesitation. Though she has been decidedly drawn to pursue her career in health care rather than in dance since she was a teen, throughout the years she consistently kept taking her dance lessons and danced in a notable number of studio performances as well as danced for school and church events and occasions. Also, but not as frequently, she has experienced dancing competitively with instances as examples that include participating in a school talent show and accepting the offered chance to audition for a specific position in a particular dance. She is still fairly new in Destiny City, but among the places she has come to frequent fortunately almost from the start is an affiliate studio of the one she grew up attending and started by friends and senior dancers she learned dancing with.
Virtues:[+] Courteous: Elysha is of the mind that she is able to communicate best by being alert of staying calm and also endeavoring to relay her thoughts politely. By reminding herself to gather her thoughts while continuing to speak respectfully, she better prevents jumbling delivery of her thoughts and words despite any insecure feelings. Also in line with this trait of hers is that she is one to try hard for anything bothering her not to show in her bearing to inappropriate or excessive extents and affect her tasks and interactions so as to try to avoid giving unnecessary awkwardness and discomfort to others. Furthermore, she is careful with her words and actions with the purpose of aiming to shield herself as well as others from the worst that she might prompt if careless. She has come to realize that striving to stay civil is what she finds best for her in conscience and effectiveness even in confrontations after trials and errors that included feeling she expressed thoughts poorly in the end while also lashing out with all the cruelty she could muster. Thus, it seldom escapes her consideration that past experience has enlightened her to how she prefers staying away from deliberately throwing destructive insults when arguing.
[+] Fair: Fairness is certainly a virtue Elysha strives to stay true to. She believes the less confusion that comes from proceeding fairly, the better. It sits well with her when she is proceeding intently with making decisions and opinions that are considerate and take into account different angles of any circumstance. She not only examines matters where others are concerned but also matters where she is concerned. Her mindset with regards to this comprises of how she reminds herself to not forget possible differences and to be open to compromises that may be reached, viewpoints presented, constructive criticisms dealt, as well as comfort levels maintained by all parties so as she may not lose focus on her wishes to be reasonable and informed in the manner of her choices reflected in her thoughts, words, and actions.
Flaws:[-] Scattered: Elysha is able to do fairly well at keeping track of herself, and this includes where her thoughts and belongings are concerned. However, her orderliness is not her strong point. For example, she much more often than not, knows where she put something and where she usually puts that something for that matter, she even knows where she moved it to and when she makes a location the new spot for it, but people don't live in her head. Thus, despite being rather methodical at arranging herself and her things, her methods may very well confuse others to various degrees. Some may recognize her as neat enough while at another place of the spectrum, others may think of her as messy. Therefore, her track record of baffling and perhaps amusing a marked share of observers of how she is inclined to arranging anything at the opportunity to go by her own accord can make her a challenge to share a space with as a roommate or a colleague. Moreover, a portion of experiences in this trait being one she has in common with her mother and in years of their sharing a room serve as examples of this exasperation being two sided.
[-] Insecure: Having a constant recollection of criticisms she has received growing up, Elysha feels she often comes up short of either the expectations of others or her own. By the time she transitioned from her adolescent years to the beginning of adulthood, the expectations she has for herself were solidly meant to be tough on her. And though, she maintains awareness of the need not to be too hard on herself, it is quite a challenge for her not to pinpoint in her spoken and thought evaluations of herself how worried she is about her lack in her capabilities and whether or not she can improve. When she feels swamped by her insecurities, her tasks become harder for her to execute normally and well. Her insecure nature also takes part in accounting for her having the likelihood in situations to not fully express herself, such as her happiness and preferences, and as well as her being distant at times, keeping a great deal to herself.
