Physical Markings: I have six fingers on my right hand...okay, actually just five, but one's kind of crooked ~~~ Special Power(s): Grammarian Special Equipment: volumes of dictionaries; my familiar, a pet thesaurus. Believe firmly in the saying, "well-read is well-armed." Other weapons include razor wit and the feared Red Pen of Death. Rank: grammar beta Previous Experience/Job: journalist, cashier, mortgage payoff processor, and college vagabond Languages Spoken: English, Spanish, French, and smatterings of Italian, German, Japanese, Russian and Klingon. Can read Middle English, some Latin, and extremely token Greek. ~~~ Father: yes Mother: obviously Other familial tidbits: two siblings, one of each gender Likes: books of all kinds, martial arts, travel, learning new languages, laughing, board games, Star Trek, Red Dwarf, anime, comic strips, ice cream and massage Dislikes: oppression, injustice, stupidity, incompetence, shallow materialism, wasteful consumerism, and bad writing Clothing choices: jeans and Engrish shirts Accessories: not really into jewellry, but usually wears a watch ~~~ Catch Phrases: "Deny, deny, deny." and "Welcome to Confused. Population: me." Also fond of quoting virtually anything, from Shakespeare to The Princess Bride. Personality Quirks: Ghetto Peach (who is now referring to herself in the third person) wants to believe that the world is fundamentally a good place, and that people are always kind, decent and intelligent. Her discoveries to the contrary have led her to develop a cynical, sarcastic bent. She is usually nice to real people, but mercilessly attacks institutions, impersonal forces, and politicians. |
