Pick a character of mine (I am also opening the floor to characters I haven't apped yet), then go here to generate 5 random numbers between 1 & 100. Comment with the character name and the five numbers, and I'll answer the five corresponding questions from this list.

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
Neither; I take things as they come, planning for all possibilities. Optimism and pessimism are for those who are too lazy to plan for all outcomes.

49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?
I am very rarely open about my thoughts or feelings, really. I've been that way since I was very young; I was raised to be a good leader of a company, which necessarily means that I have to be difficult to read and understand. Besides, opening up to people means that I have become vulnerable to them, and I would rather die than give anyone else power like that over me.

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
No, I've been very careful not to get caught and to cover my own tracks.

81. How do you deal with stress?
I compartmentalize; I generally take the stress that is useful for me in some way and apply it and deal with the stress that just causes problems at a later time. When everything is straightened out, I generally go out to dinner, or go on a run. Sometimes talking to Simca-san helps, but she often just creates more issues for me to have to fix. When I was with Behemoth it was less pressure, as I never felt like Akira-san expected as much out of me as Simca-san and Spitfire do. I used to talk to Mimisaka when I was stressed, but obviously that isn't an option anymore.

18. Did you enjoy school?
No. I learned a lot and was good at it, but I was constantly being watched and judged. It wasn't until I found AT that I was able to be truly happy.
