Hobbies: Guns – Her father a hunter, Anella grew up with guns as a common household effect. A daddy’s girl, from an early age she had eagerly aimed to pursue her father’s interests and enlisted his help to teach her. As she grew, found more interest in the mechanics than the use. She quickly became an aficionado, rifling through magazines and collector’s books. She attends gun shows as often as they come by and has more than indulged in her private collection. She does not necessarily appreciate the art of hunting as much as her father, though aims to take hunting trips as an excuse to show of her guns. She is known to go out of her way to attend shooting competitions, and tries to make it to the paintball field at least once a week.
Cooking – Anella loves being in the kitchen—and not just because she loves food. Fond memories of working with her mother in the kitchen in addition to a need to eat are what drove her to this pastime. She loves the careful preparation of the meal, the painstaking effort put into the presentation, the satisfaction of a well cooked meal. If only she could get it right. Anella has, in her life, never successfully cooked a meal without some disgusting consequence. It doesn’t matter how hard she tries, the fact of the matter is that she’s lucky she hasn’t poisoned herself and anyone daring enough to sample her meals. Be it overcooking, getting ahead of herself, misjudging a 'pinch', taking shortcuts, or just not putting enough love into each and every meal, Anella has yet to produce a single meal she has been totally happy with. Still, she is persistent and unwilling to give up, so she’s made cooking a large part of her life, including going out of her way to learn. Cookbooks, cooking shows, and even culinary classes—there’s nothing she’s not willing to try.
Rugby – Anella likes a game that gives her full privilege to get down and dirty. She's always liked things a little rough, and the competitor in her loves to be put on the spot. She's dabbled in some sports, but they've only caught her eye if they were full contact, risks involved. She's ready to hurt and get hurt, and get that damn ball in the goal. An avid fan, she as inclined to play as she is to watch a game. While she herself plays Union, she is not hesitant to watch Rugby League games either. She might disagree with a few of the rules, but why let that make you miss a good game?
Virtues: Passionate – Once Anella sets her eyes on something, she’s all in. Ruled by her emotions, it doesn’t matter if it’s a person or an interest, once it’s hooked her, she is completely enamored and willing to give it her all. She deeply invests herself in something in every way she can. She is eager to share what she loves with others and will go out of her way to do so. She puts her whole heart into something and is willing to spare no expense to pursue her passions.
Dependable – Anella doesn’t go back on her word. If she says she’s going to do something, it’s done. Anella doesn’t break promises, and while this does influence how many she’s willing to make, she’ll see it through to the end. If you need a friend, she’s there. If you need help, she’s there. Anella doesn’t flake out on people and, albeit being young and loving fun, she is reliable enough to stick to her word. Loyal to her friends, the concept of backstabbing and betrayal is foreign to her; she makes a commitment and sticks to it.
Independent – Anella has always strived to do things herself; she is a free-spirited individual and takes solace in the fact that she can take care of herself. Being self-sufficient and confident, Anella is able to make it through most situations by just relying on herself—be it through inner strength or willpower. She does not mind working by herself; she knows where her strengths lie and isn't afraid to take action.
Flaws: Arrogant – Anella’s ego could fill up a room. She is exceptionally prideful and makes no effort to hide it. She is cocky and fails to see her faults though; she easily pins the blame on others whenever she can. She is convinced that she can do no wrong and thinks very highly over herself. Her confidence is overwhelming and she has been known to overestimate her skills on many an occassion.
Hot-headed – If you say the wrong thing to Anella or rub her the wrong way, she’s more than willing to throw a fit. She’d much rather go off on you than listen to your explanation, and due to her rash nature she’s often picked a fair share of fights. She doesn’t always think things through and is quick to anger and slow to cool off. While her attacks are usually limited to words, if you push her too far in this state, there is only a very slight chance she will resort to violence; she is far more likely to simply storm away. Apologies do little while she’s raging, and while she’ll go off for a while, she usually calms down. Anella very begrudgingly offers apologies, and while she is aware that she is sometimes a little too aggressive and quick to anger, she fails to count it as a fault of her own since someone had the audacity to provoke her and set her off in the first place.
Competitive – Everything is a competition with Anella. She likes the drive of a competition—and she likes to win. She can turn anything into a competition and tends to get aggressive when the going gets tough. She won't stab someone in the back or maul them at the first chance she gets, though there is little else she won’t do to win. She is willing to bend the rules to suit her (or break them all together) if it gets her ahead. She likes the pride of winning and the emotional satisfaction of being able to gloat about it. Anyone willing to feed into her competitive nature risks her wrath; she’ll push hard to win and is an incredibly sore loser.
