Hobbies: World IssuesThere's so much going on in the world around us, and Jetta has to know what it is. She's spends a lot of her free time reading articles online about what is happening in other countries, and always keeps up with the current big issues the country and others are facing. Jetta tries to check her favorite news websites at least once a day to stay on top of what is happening. She also likes to discuss what's going on with others, though whether they actually know what she's talking about is an entirely different matter.
JournalismJetta's goal in life is to be a world renowned newspaper journalist, known for covering hard hitting, real stories, not celebrity gossip and hear-say. Jetta is undertaking a degree in Journalism at DCU, as well as being a member of the student newspaper committee and working a part-time internship at the local Destiny City Newspaper (though all she does at the moment is run errands and fetch peoples drinks and lunches. She's hoping this will change soon). As if this wasn't enough, she also maintains a blog where she talks about many different things from her own perspective. Writing is an important part of journalism, so Jetta likes to practice, mostly just writing short stories or articles on things that interest her. She doesn't publish these anywhere (unless she thinks the articles are good enough for her blog) but she does keep them in folder, stored away to catalog her improvement.
CoffeeIf there is one drink Jetta is addicted to it's coffee. She loves everything about coffee, from the taste, to the smell, the look and even the different coffee mugs you can get. She has to have at least 5 cups everyday. She has no one favorite drink, she loves them all, and tries as many different flavors and types as she can. A main part of the reason for her love of coffee is the atmosphere of little coffee shops. She loves seeking out small shops and hanging out for the day, watching people as the come and go, listening to the different types of music they play and analyzing the different interior style of each place. She's still not found her '
One' store though, and is constantly on the lookout.
PlantsJetta has a soft spot for plants that she picked up from the family gardener at a young age. She loves gardening, from sowing the seed to watching the flowers blossom, Jetta loves everything about it. It makes her feel calm and peaceful. In her room she has a shelf dedicated to small indoor plants that she tends, as well as a small selection of herbs sitting on the windowsill above her sink and on her balcony, Jetta also keeps a makeshift vegetable patch. She loves to grow her own foods and is always planting something new, though it doesn't always end well. She misses the large, expansive garden of her family home, but it was the price she had to pay for living on her own.
Virtues: SmartJetta is a smart girl. With a heart surgeon for a father, it's safe to say brains run in the family. She did well in school, being in the top group of all her classes, though not necessarily the top. What she does best is retain information and because of this she’s always keen to read, study, and learn about new things. She's also not afraid to show that she's smart. Jetta prefers to be herself rather than pretend to be someone she's not, so she doesn't hide the fact that she does have a brain and she can use it.
PracticalJetta is practical in every sense of the word. When making a decision, she takes her time to reason and work out the most practical answer. She wears comfortable and practical clothing, she'll happily take a pair of jeans and sneakers over a dress and high heels. She doesn't wear clothes to look good, and she rarely wears jewelery. If there's a fight or argument, she'll offer a practical solution is she thinks it will help. She'll only buy things if their useful, if she wants a watch she'll buy a solid watch that you can read the time on, not some flimsy little thing that has a face barely the size of a fingernail. If she's left with decision making, she'll reason and choose the most practical option, even if another might do more good. When she talks she gives practical, straightforward answers, she doesn't beat around the bush or sugarcoat things.
PassionateWhen something strikes a cord with Jetta, she can become really passionate about it. Her passion ranges from a variety of sources, from her passion for gardening, coffee, journalism and news, to other things like learning, her friendships, and writing. Her degree of passion varies, but nearly everything she partakes in she is passionate behind, and often has some sort of personal meaning behind it to be the driving force of the passion she holds. She gives one hundred percent to those things, striving to do her best or be the best, whatever the case may be. If it is something she is truly, madly passionate about, then she may forgo some of her beliefs and views to give it her all.
CautiousJetta is not cautious in the sense of not trusting and being scared of everyone around her, rather she is just aware that some people may not always be as they seem (thanks again to the way she was brought up) and so can take time to warm up to things. Sure, she will get along well with people, or go along with other plans and such, but until she truly trusts someone or understands the reasoning behind their course of action, Jetta will remain on guard, and will not devote herself completely.
Flaws: Always rightJetta knows that she's smart. And because of this, she almost always thinks she is right. It doesn't matter if someone has a different opinion or answer to something, hers is the right one. In class she would answer first when she knew something, and if someone answered wrongly she would be the first to correct them. Because of this she can also be seen as a bit of a know it all. People could often find this annoying, because Jetta usually stands by her decisions and answers and rarely backs down, and doesn't like it much if she has to. She also hates being wrong or being proven wrong, and would become quite sulky if it did occur.
BluntJetta says what she thinks, and she doesn't strip it back or disguise it with words. Because of this she can come across as very blunt, which some might not appreciate. She doesn't think this is a problem, and feels that its better if people didn't walk around things. It isn't that she always tells the truth, she definitely does her fair share of lying. It's just the way she words things may not be received very well.
ObsessiveBecause of her passion, Jetta can become obsessed with some things. When she is obsessed with something, she'll spend all her time thinking about it, she'll talk about it, if it's not being talked about she'll try and bring the conversation back to it. Her mind becomes one tracked, where she can't really focus on anything else. This could become frustrating for some, because if Jetta is fixated on something, it can be very hard to get her to pay attention to/concentrate on something else. The things she's most likely to get obsessed about are a piece of writing she's working on, a new place or piece of music, an problem she's having with someone, almost everything.
UntrustingJetta takes a long time to warm up to people, and to trust what they say. Mostly because she thinks that everyone has an ulterior motive for wanting to talk to her, befriend her, or ask her on a date. You can't possibly want to be friends just because, no you must know that I'm smart and that if you become friends with me then you can get my answers. She finds it hard to see the good and genuine natures in people, and instead tends to focus on what she thinks might be their bad or negative attributes. She can trust and become friends with others, it would just take a long time.
