Hobbies:
- Cello: Matti has been playing the cello since she was a small girl around the age of eight years old. Of course it was too big for her then, but her mother used to play and she absolutely adored the sound. She used to sit next to her mother with her own smaller cello and her mom taught her how to play. When her mother died, Matti continued playing the cello in her honor. She plays it every night before she sleeps.
Yoga: When she's not playing the cello or on her computer, Matti is doing yoga. It helps keep her focused as well as fit. She does a lot more yoga when she's stressed out. Usually she'll do this in her own house, but she does go to classes sporadically depending on how her mindset is. Yoga for her is close to a religious experience.
Baking: Matti loves to bake. She mostly makes cookies, and will give them out to her friends and her students. While she enjoys relaxing with her electronics and her music, Matti doesn't believe in sitting still for too long. If she doesn't have things to do around the house (and she usually doesn't, she keeps her place meticulously put together) she'll bake. She loves trying new recipes, too.
Virtues:
- Fun loving: Up for a good time any time. She's a social butterfly. She doesn't have to bet the center of attention, but she always wants to have fun. Games are a good way to do that, talking, joking around. She's the kind of girl who will jump on her friend's back for a laugh. Of course this doesn't mean she doesn't know when to be serious, she'd just rather not be.
Positive: Dark clouds always, always have a silver lining, even if it's hard to see. There's no point in thinking negatively. It just brings everyone down. She'll do what she can to make sure she's having a good day, and tends to ignore the bad things that happen to her, or just take everything in stride. Even in the darkest situations, like death, she'll remember the good times and realize that she should be celebrating the person's life.
Curious: She needs to know everything. She hates surprises, and only being given surface information. She needs to know who, what, when, where, how and why and she'll ask as many questions as she needs to until she's satisfied. If someone tells her she's getting nosy, she'll try to back off. Keyword being try. She's terrible at leaving things alone, especially if it's something she's extra curious about. She's willing to ask pretty much anything of anyone, and doesn't have a problem walking right up to someone to do it.
Flaws:
- Bit of a temper: While she tries to maintain her sunny disposition and the fact that everything is good and wonderful in the world, things do bug her. When people are constantly negative and doing nothing to change their outlook on life, she tends to... explode. It's not violently, but it involves foot stomping, speeches about all the things they're not looking at. She goes red in the face during these bursts of anger. After these kinds of outbursts, she apologies profusely, but holds firm to what she says. She'll go back to insisting that it's not as bad as you think it is. It also happens when she's just had a bad day and is stressed about something. It's more of an 'in the moment' deal with her. Again, it's short lived and she apologizes, but she can't seem to control when it happens.
Forgetful: It's not like she means to forget, but things just literally get away from her. It's the small things, where she put her keys, someone's birthday. Sometimes it gets to be so bad she'll walk into a room with the intention of doing something and then completely forget what it was. This is one of the reasons she has alarms set on her cell phone for food, she would forget to eat some days, otherwise.
Cynical: She wants to trust people, but she knows that not everyone is trustworthy. Usually this means she keeps her secrets and her bigger emotions to herself unless she can find someone she can trust. It doesn't take much to become her friend, but she usually requires a little more time before she feels she can trust fully. And once her trust is broken, it can almost never be fixed. She's not really big on second chances with things like that.
