Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Agatha K. Brookshire

Nickname: Well, how about no.

Age: 23

Birthday: 1/15

Sign: Capricorn.

Gemstone: Garnet.

Blood Type: O+

Fav. Food: Soft serve ice cream. Red meat, still moving (steaks, burgers, etc.)

Hated Food: Fake bacon. Chewy candy.

School: DCU, fine arts major.

Hobbies:
Fine Arts: Music. Painting. Song. Poetry. To a lesser extent, dance. She's kind of a savant when it comes to all aspects of this particular skillset; she does not accept mere mediocrity in any of the fields, either. Agatha enjoys the physicality of dance, the introspection of poetry and song, the fluidity of painting and music. It is difficult for her to express herself in other ways; for her, it is simpler to take this route.

Running: Agatha enjoys testing her own endurance, and this is why she runs. Very nearly every morning she takes to the city streets in solitude. There's just something about the sound of her own heart thudding in her ears that appeals to Agatha. She has, on occasion, taken part in various marathons that take place. These are done more out of fun as opposed to competition; Agatha prefers solitude over company when she runs.

Virtues:
Dedicated: It isn't that she's dedicated to the people she cares about; those are few and far between as it is - it's that she's dedicated to the things she wants to accomplish, the things she wants to acquire. Agatha is dedicated to her studies, her beliefs, the reasons she does the things she does. She does not ever feel that she needs to explain her absolutely unwavering loyalties, either. Don't get her wrong: there are people that have earned her resolute dedication - but even they are expendable when the big picture comes into play.

Ambitious: Agatha very much wants to be at the top of the food chain. Sometimes she can be a little cut-throat when her back is against the wall, and this plays into the more ruthless side of her. Agatha does not cut corners; she does not believe in doing anything lazily because it will mean that she has not earned her way in life. She can visualize herself at the top, and she wants to know deep down that she has earned it. Success is important to Agatha; she holds herself to high (almost at times impossible) standards. She refuses to be a roadblock to herself, and with that thought always at the forefront of her mind, there are times that she finds herself sacrificing things (dating, movies, dinners out) in order to succeed in the end.

Independent: Agatha's greatest ally is herself, and she has no problem with that. She is a solitary creature by nature and will only come together with others if there is a task too large for her to carry out on her own (or if it will benefit her in some other way). Usually she simply does not want to be held accountable for the failures of others - if she is going to fail, Agatha would prefer to shoulder the blame completely on her own. She does not consider herself a weak link and loathes the mere thought of being associated with those who she interprets as being utterly without worth. She cannot stand group projects - but she succeeds at tasks that require only one person. This virtue teeters on the precipice of 'does not play well with others' but it's strong enough that for Agatha, it is one of her stronger virtues.


Flaws:

Unsympathetic: It can be easy for Agatha to feign sympathy, but more often than not she is a bootstraps kind of young woman and simply cannot be assed with butt-patting and false projections of emotion that she simply doesn't feel. She is oftentimes probably considered to be a b***h or even unfeeling - and perhaps she is, but it's because she has worked very hard to get where she is in her life and whenever she failed there was very little sympathy directed her way. Even if she's hurt someone's feelings, Agatha has a hard time being properly apologetic about it.

Cunning: Agatha will do what she must in order to secure her own success and survival. If this means being a little more wily than most, she has no problem with being a little unscrupulous if she has to. One might even say she's Machiavellian in how she problem-solves - but being honest doesn't always get you where you want to be, and Agatha has always and will always put herself first when she's faced with that sort of decision. She can be almost ruthless when it comes down to it; Agatha has no issue with being 'the bad guy' - in her mind it is merely a game of survival, and only the fittest will carry on.

Critical: If you've done something wrong, Agatha has no issue with pointing it out. If you're doing something and it isn't the way that Agatha would do it, she will point it out. If she thinks you're going to fail, Agatha will point it out - simply because she doesn't want to listen to the whining that will undoubtedly follow. If she feels a plan will go awry, she will be the first to speak her mind. Even if a plan goes off without a hitch, Agatha will find something to point out - and sometimes she can be downright scathing about it.
