Hobbies:
DIY - Alodie loves crafting. All of it. She will happily make her own wall decorations out of curled paper towel tubes, paint and hot glue. You need a handy little container? Give her two water bottles, a zipper and some glue. Paint is optional. Not matter what the project or level of expertise, Alodie is there giving it a try. She's even figured out how to make a bustle for her band costume out of wire hangers and duct tape. Come on bro. Give her a challenge.

Aliens. Never Not. - The interest in aliens, UFOs and the like has been one Alodie has had since early childhood. Blame her parents for letting her watch E.T. and Close Encounters back to back. She will happily devour every bit of information she can get. Giorgio Tsoukalos is her God and Savior. Bit of advice though. Never ever try to create a drinking game with Ancient Aliens. You will die of alcohol poisoning.

LARPer/Re-enactor - There is something hugely fun about doing live action roleplay. Being able to become a character and play without having to deal with dice and silly dungeon masters is quite a free-ing experience. Being able to play at various war re-enactments is even more fun. Sure, Alodie's done the Civil and Revolutionary war stuff. But where she truly shines are the future war re-anactments. Those are like a huge game of Calvinball and she loves it. The Great Plasmoid Battle of 3012 is still her favorite.

Guitar - For those days when Alodie is not out frightening the populace, she plays her guitar. Sure, it's old and kind of beat up, but she's had it and been using it since she was four and at this point it and her music are old, comfortable friends. And it's thanks to her skills at the guitar that she got into a fun little band called Alien Jazz Hands with a couple of friends.

Virtues:
Enthusiastic - Alodie is nothing if not brimming full of enthusiasm. She throws herself whole-heartedly into whatever she does and damn the consequences! Life is short and you never know when it's going to suddenly stop, so why not tackle each day like you're a bear who just wants to hug the whole world?

Let Me Love You - Alodie is super friendly and affectionate. Like... almost scarily so. It doesn't matter if you're a stranger or not, Alodie is able and more than willing to show you love and care. You'll just be spared the full body bear hugs if you're a stranger is all.

Open Mind - Hey, you'd be pretty open minded too if you believed in aliens. Aliens, gay marriage, magic, Alodie will happily believe in and advocate for them all. It's a huge world. Don't try to force it to conform and fit in with your tiny, shriveled little mind. To her way of thinking everything and everyone is awesome. And she won't be able to fully experience that sheer amazeballs if she sits at home and keeps to a narrow little path.

Flaws:
Overly Impulsive - Alodie has a bad habit of not stopping to think or plan out what she's going to be doing. Sure, a little impulsiveness can be charming, but Alodie is constantly flying by the seat of her pants. And frankly, those pants are beginning to get a bit threadbare. It's official fact that the last time Alodie actually sat down and planned anything was when she was laying a trap for Santa Claus. When she was 5.

Cling-on - While affectionate can be a good thing, Alodie tends to go way overboard in her loving ways and turn rather... clingy. Almost inappropriately so. While never falling into the realm of Pr0n style friendliness (she's never propositioned the pizza boy, okay), she has caused at least two break ups that she is aware of, simply by being too clingy and physically affectionate at the really wrong time.

Tunnel Vision - Alodie frequently gets caught up in her projects and loved ones and pretty much forgets that the rest of the world is out there waiting. It's not that she intends this to happen. It's just that whatever she's doing at the moment has the potential to completely devour her attention until she either finishes or someone knocks her out of her reverie.

Hey darlin~ Time to get my crit onnnn 8D

Civilian Side:

Hobbies: Look great! I originally thought that it may be a lot (4 things) for one person to have so much time to do on top of being in school, but I feel like it's pretty clear that she has a balance in her life between all of the things.

Virtues:
Enthusiastic - Looks good~

Easy Grace - I think this needs to be elaborated upon a little bit. Right now it basically just reads to me that she's exceptionally not clumsy. How exactly does her grace affect her and other people in her every day life?

Open Mind - I think this one is fine. Maybe expand just a tad on it? Like, does she see the best qualities in everyone because of her open mind? I'm not super particular about what I'm looking for here, I think that as long as something is written about how she preceives people because of this virtue it'd be good!

Flaws:
Holding Grudges - Flaws should be something that affect your character on a daily/constant basis. If this doesn't happen often, how is it really a character flaw? I also wonder how it would clash with her Open Mind virtue; if she is so open minded why is it so easy for her to hold a grudge (if you were to say that it wasn't on a very rare basis)?

My Way or the Highway - I know you touch on the fact that she is open minded and yet very stubborn. Is it just that she expects other people to be open minded but she is very stuck in her ways? I'm a little bit confused on how the two mesh together without being super conflicting.

Bull-Headed - I think that this flaw could be combined with the previous one, because that one essentially reads as she is very stubborn in her ideals and this one reads that she is stubborn in her actions.

I think with a little bit of expansion on some things and clarification on others, she'll be good to go. Your post in the Stamping Thread notes that you're only looking for her civ side to be stamped so I'm not gonna crit your powered side unless you want me to! Quote me when you've made some changes and let me know at that point if you'd like me to do her powered side as well! heart

Looks great darlin~ I think her Virtues/Flaws mesh together much better now and her Negaverse side looks good to me! I love the bladed shoes wink
