Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Abigail Lee Doyle

Nickname: Abby, Gail, Abbylee

Age: 19

Birthday: June 3rd

Sign: Gemini

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (Senshi)

School: DCU

Blood Type: O+

Fav. Food: Corn dogs & funnel cake with -lots- of powdered sugar and strawberries.

Hated Food: Green bean casserole.

Hobbies: 

Yoga - Often split between ideas and torn between this and that, Abigail tried to find the best way to ground herself during high school and, of all things, this seemed to work. For all that her mind runs a mile a minute, Abby finds that her thoughts come a lot clearer when she's holding one of her favorite positions. This has head to awkwardness during 'ah ha!' moments which have, depending on the pose, lead her to topple over onto a heap on the floor.

Dance - Abigail loves to move; moving to music is just an added incentive and has been for as long as she could remember. While her mother would have preferred she stick to the classics, her father and her step-mother both encouraged her to press on and keep active in any way she wanted so jazz hands and modern dance it was! Abby really enjoys the feeling of burning off energy to music she loves. It's also an added bonus that she picks up some kickass moves in the process...

Reading - Take a look, it's in a book... Abby's appreciation of literature came from watching Reading Rainbow as a child. For all that you generally have to sit in one place and be rather still to read them (or have them read to you), books can take you on adventures that you just can't take on your own and this has always interested her... Although she doesn't always make as much time for the actual book as often as she'd like. Every now and then she'll just go see the movie... Or download a recording onto her iPod. The world stops for no one!

Virtues:

"Let's roll with it!" Adaptable – From her parent's divorce to her father's remarriage and even through her first meeting with her new sister, Abby has a talent for just rolling with things. Nothing seems to phase her outwardly and she's more than willing to make the most of what she's got, adapting to situations as they're thrown at her, even if she has little to work with. Life gives lemons? Time for some lemonade!

"Wait.. Hold on... I see it!" Imaginative – Abby dreams big. She sees pictures of a bigger, brighter tomorrow that's so real she can taste it, touch it, feel it... Well, you get the picture? Wait, you don't? That's okay! Her imagination is so vast that she will share it with you, painting a picture of something so wonderful that you'll be drawn right into her world with her. Great for gaming!

"It goes on and on, my friend..." Energetic – While she might not be much for early mornings, once she's up she's up and she just keeps going until everything is done. Packed with enough energy to fuel five cups of coffee, Abby throws a good bit of this energy into enthusiasm and support, putting her best foot forward as she throws herself into everything with great leaps and bounds.

Flaws:

"There's something beneath the surface?" Superficial – Abigail judges books by their covers. If what's on the front isn't interesting she expresses little, if any, interest in it and, sadly, the same goes for people. She has a horrible habit of taking things for face value, making snap judgments about people and things without giving them much of a chance at redemption. Better act fast to impress because if you don't, that's it.

"And on and on and on..." Restless – For all that it's nice to enjoy a quiet day at home every now and then, it's just not something that Abby is interested in all the time. There's a spot deep in her soul that yearns for something more, leading to endless hours spent awake wandering, and sometimes pondering. How can she settle down and sleep when there's something out there just waiting?

"This way... Or that way?" Indecisive – Abby is nearly incapable of making up her mind when decisions are put before her. The more complicated the decision the harder it is and she just... Can't choose. It isn't that she doesn't want to, or that she wants someone to make all of her decisions for her she just can't pick, much to the general frustration of others. Note: This is generally during moments of great stress. While Abigail usually has great practice and patience when it comes to dealing with things, she does have her limits and once she cracks she just can't do it anymore. How can she tell you what to do when she doesn't know what to do anymore herself?

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Sea green; bright, wide and curious.

Hair: White blonde; short and choppy, no longer than chin-length at the longest. Pixie-esque.

Face: Slender; young, cherubic. She looks a good bit younger than she is; most are pretty sure she can’t be over 16, at the most.

Clothes: Creative type of look; usually spontaneous and fun.

Quest is open for constructive critting on the civi side. Still working on the senshi aspect, but didn't want to hold back people from commenting while she's a wip.

Abby and Thisbe are both good to go for critting! CRIT AWAY.

I'm going to disagree on the adaptable vs. being indecisive bit, although I do certainly see where you're coming, just as I also understood the apparent contradiction when a friend brought it up in the first comb-over of the quest.

She could very well be indecisive because it doesn't matter to her which of things, A or B, that she winds up doing. She could easily adapt to doing either, and both sound fun, so instead of making up the decision on her own it would be much easier to leave it to whichever member of the party not doing A or B is going to matter the most to.

In the end, it comes down to serious under pressure; when you get to the point that there's only so much adapting that you can do before you just want to plop down and go "I can't do it anymore. I can't." which I did try to point out in my explanation of that flaw.

I do get where you're coming from with the book reading as well, but as someone who generally likes to be on the move or be doing -something- as opposed to nothing myself, I can also say that there are times, whether they be few and far between or not, that I -still- enjoy sitting down to read a book, even if it's just after I've done all of my running around or while I'm trying to wind down for the day. I do still consider it a hobby of mine, even if it isn't something I do every moment that I have free time, which is why I considered it for her as well.

I -will- consider the books on tape, though, because I -can- see her as being someone who'd probably retain things a bit better that way.

Thank you for the input!
