Hobbies:
Photography- Castille loves to take pictures, and pursues a career in photojournalism. Since she has yet to obtain this job, she occupies herself by taking discounted senior pictures for the high school, and has even taken pictures for a wedding or two. Her favorite subjects are not ones that stand and pose for the camera however. She enjoys taking candid shots, moments when a person's true feelings and happiness come through for all to see. Castille also enjoys taking pictures in black and white, using programs to add a splash of color to one object in the picture.
Castille Says: "I love adding one piece of color to an otherwise black and white object. In an otherwise dull, monotonous day ritual, there can always be that one moment, or person that adds a bit of spice to your life.
Finding New Music:- Castille has one addiction, and that’s music. She loves almost any genre, and her IPod library is always filled to the brim with country, rock, metal, techno and much more. She loves to spend a little time on the computer each day, browsing through new artists and downloading songs to create various playlists out of. Her IPod is always with her, and she typically can be seen with one ear bud in, the other dangling down while she has a conversation while simultaneously checking out some new electronic pop band from Wisconsin. Everywhere she goes, that IPod is blaring, and when she can't listen to it, she's humming or singing one of the songs she just listened to. After only a day without her music, she starts to get grumpy and fidgety.
Castille Says: "I'd rather be addicted to music than something that could really harm me!
Summer Camp Counselor - Castille's favorite people are children. For the last two summers she has helped out at the Happy Campers Day Camp, assisting with meals, arts and crafts and taking groups out on nature walks. She loves kids most because they have such big imaginations. She feels like she can relate to children more than kids of her own age.
Castille Says:"They find such wonder in everything around them. Simple things like Trees and birds become magical in their own way through a child's eyes. Teenagers seem to have lost the ability to see all of this magic around them..."
Volleyball:- Castille loves sports, but volleyball is by far her favorite. As a young girl she played for a youth team, and her position of choice was a libero, or digger position. She would spend hours diving to the ground to save a ball that was too low for some of the taller girls to get, and her knees were constantly bruised from hitting the ground. Now she is part of the school team, in the same position that she played as a child.
Castille Says: "Being on the volleyball team is the best! The feeling of being on a team, the whole group striving for something together. And I love when my muscles are sore! I feel like I have actually done something."
Virtues
Open-minded: Castille doesn't like to judge, and welcomes people openly into her conversations. Because of this, she has a vast circle of friends that she keeps close to her, and she hates to leave anyone out of the loop. She believes that everyone has some good in them, it just takes the right person to bring it out. That person being her.
She also likes to try new things, especially if it involves helping someone else out. It may be as simple as trying a new recipe that one of her teachers raves about, or taking salsa dancing lessons because one of her friends was too embarrassed to do it alone. Most of the time she takes it a step farther than the person originally intended, making enough of the recipe to share with the entire class, or dancing with her friend in the school Talent Show.
Castille Says: "Those lessons were fun! And that Basil Chicken recipe turned out to be harder than I thought...."
It's all about the Balance!: Castille has a knack for multitasking. As a student, this means she can do multiple classes' homework at the same time. She can also take notes while finishing up her homework from her next class that’s due in twenty minutes. At home, she is able to cook dinner while chatting with her friends online and watching her younger brother. She can also hold multiple conversations at once, which helps if four friends are talking to her at once. As a senshi, it wouldn't be hard for her to keep up with her normal life as well as saving the town from youma and the Negaverse.
Castille Says: "Who can be bored when you have volleyball practice, cooking lessons, and a sleepover with friends that night?"
Oh yeah? And then what happened?: Because of her friendly and warm nature, people often come to Castille with their problems, and she is always willing to sit with them on the couch, sharing a gallon of ice-cream and listening to them rant about how their boyfriend doesn't appreciate them, or how a sibling is always treated better than them. She is always willing to give them her point of view, but will ask if they want it or not...she doesn't want to rile the person up and cause conflict. In her mind, if the worried person can smile, and maybe laugh a little at the end of it, then she has done her job well.
Castille Says: "I feel bad when someone is having a bad day. Even if it's not my fault! Since I am happy, why can't I share it with others and make them happy too?"
Only 100%? I can give 110%! When Castille finds something that really sparks her interest, she devotes herself completely to it. That’s not to say that she does it with everything however. But for certain things, like volleyball and photography, she will keep working at it for hours until the results come out the way she wants.
Castille Says: "I can't just leave the gym with my sets going too far right! then I'll play like that in the game tomorrow!"
Flaws
Enough Pride for all the Lions in the Zoo: She would rather destroy herself mentally than get advice from someone else. Since her family divorced, she took on the idea at a young age that she can do it all by herself, and this is a hard thing for her to shake, even now. As a student, this means she occasionally falls behind in class because she can't grasp the concept before being forced to move on to the next one. As an athlete, Castille will tire herself out and try a multitude of different things to fix whatever problem she is having, be it a missing serve or a crooked pass, until she finally gets it right. As a new Senshi, Castille will likely get beaten in her first one or two solo battles. She will get frustrated and stress herself out over how to be better. When asked by a comrade if she needs help, even if she is clearly losing, Castille will still say no and, if the other person helps anyway, she will thank them and be polite until she gets home, where she will likely burst into tears and stress even more. Given enough of this, she might decide to quit being a Senshi entirely.
Castille Says: "The person I ask for help from isn't going to be around forever, giving me a hand when I need it. Better to just learn it on my own, then I won't need them at all! Why rely on someone else?"
Jack of all trades, Master of none: Castille has a problem of spreading herself too thin. She likes to have multiple things going on at once, and in a way this is good because she can multitask. On the surface, she looks like she is juggling it all very well, but her friends and family know better. She can't devote herself 100% to anything for too long before getting bored. So her homework remains half finished (sometimes not done at all), her drawings are not colored, and that book she was going to read lays by her bedside gathering dust. While being a Senshi may be exciting at first, the conflict, defeat, and time consuming patrols that come with it would eventually wear her out, causing her to want to quit being a senshi entirely. This multitasking also takes a toll on her health, as she doesn't sleep as much as she should because of all the activities she undertakes. The lack of sleep catches up to her, and her mind slows as well as her reaction time, and humor. However, she is always ready with an excuse to explain the lack of commitment.
Castille Says: "Sometimes I get a little stressed, so I have to skip over some things....But I always come back to them! ....most of the time...."
Tick...tick...tick...BOOM: Castille hates causing conflict, and will avoid an argument almost at any cost. This means all of her nasty thoughts and feelings build inside her, where she goes over them over and over again, analyzing and emphasizing the feelings in her mind until they are so huge to her, that she explodes. This leads to shouting, nasty comments, lots of swearing, and usually tears. She tends to hold grudges, even if she doesn't show it. Castille will continue to be pleasant and friendly to the person, but she will be cursing them in her mind. Her lack of assertiveness when it comes to being stepped on leaves her doubting herself and her abilities a lot of the time, and the whirlwind of emotions spins again.
Castille Says: "I'm fine, I really am! It's not like it hurt my feelings or anything....... *stupid b***h*"
There must be another way.... Castille doesn't like to fight. She can't stand the sight of blood, and she doesn't throw punches, even as a joke. As a regular person, this means people often try to pick on her. She would rather calmly talk out the situation than become physically involved. With the elementary children, she is able to diffuse any of their arguments with a few kind words and suggestions. With the kids of her age, she finds it a little harder to connect with them, though it's not for lack of trying. If her pacifist ways go unnoticed or are not well received, Castille will walk away from the decision depressed, or turn to her childish side. As a senshi, this means if a fight were to break out, she would let others fight first and take care of it.
Castille Says: "Physical violence is never an option! There's always better ways to solve a conflict!"
