Jaire @ lemonfingers.com

Jaire Tirianda is the moniker for Amanda Sieracki.

Jaire is an only child, who's mother was a hero, and her father is her second cousin's husband. Long story short, she's got a twisted family tree. Her hair is naturally red & black, and bright gold eyes, noting that there may be something more to her heritage, another cog that's un-noticeably out of place. She also enjoys dancing and living by herself in a comfy apartment, funded by her worried parents. She's now happily married to Nate, her sweetheart of the past 2 years.

Amanda, however, comes from a larger family, the oldest of 4 girls. Her mother's not a superhero, and her birth father has long since passed away. Instead, she has a step-father who's a fire-fighter. She can't dance to save her life (though she loves to), can barely cook, and wishes her hair was as cool as Jaire's. Instead, it's more of a mousy-brown which she dyes black, with odd hazel eyes and glasses that she adores. She lives with her fiance/boyfriend of over 3 years, and though he's a dork, loves his silly ass.

Both girls are punk-goth, slight pyromaniacs, 5'10" flat-foot, and like chains too much. They also share the same sort of personality, taste in books and music, sexuality, and inability to speak properly around guys they love. Both make friends easily, and will go out of their way to try and stir up some fun.

Date of Birth: 23rd of March, 1988 (22)

Member Since: 13th of November, 2008

If you hadn't noticed, I haven't posted anything up until today in a VERY long time. The reasoning? Art. I've been slowly getting better and better, and am FINALLY content with how my art looks, even if it's not HOMFGSUPAHAMAZING.

Another reason is Realms. This silly little LARP has literally eaten all my free time between work, moving, art, and Rikki. However, I've been to somewhere around the lines of 9 events in character, at least 2 OOC, and I'm still planning on more. While 11 doesn't sound like a lot, keep in mind that's roughly my previous 3 years in the game combined. It's nearly 6 times what I did last year alone! Plus, I know of at least 4 more events I want to go to before the end of the year. All of them in September. There's another one or three I want to go to, as well.

I've been a busy butt.

1. What is your full name?
Phoenix Rose Dawncry-Nosetti

2. Where and when were you born?
In the Sheshawnii Lands, about 450 years ago.

3. Who are/were your parents?
My parents are the current heads of the House Dawncry. They directly serve the Royal Family, so I'm not positive about them. All of the House Dawncry help each other, so I was raised in the community.

4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
My little sister, Freya Heavensent. She's a lot like me, I hear. I have yet to meet her, though.

5. Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
I live with my cousin Airivarri Nosetti, his children and wife; and the others who were adopted into House Nosetti, here in The Realms. There's a wide variety of us: Half-elves, vampires, Raksasha, Fae, Half-fae, Gnomes, Humans....we're a varied bunch.

6. What is your occupation?
I am the official Scribe and Historian of the House Nosetti. I also have talents in Healing, Shamanic magic, and blacksmithing.

7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
I'm about the same height as most humans. I'm thin, and rather long. I'm Sheshawnii, obviously, so I do have a bit of sparkle to me. I have an slight arch tattooed over the bridge of my nose, as well as a straight line from my bottom lip to the tip of my chin, marking my House and heritage. I have many faint scars, left from cold iron, mostly across my arms and legs. On each shoulder blade I have deep scars, marking the cutting of my wings...they can never fully grow back. My hair is normally long and red, but it's short and black right now. I have hazel eyes, and I dress plainly, compared to other Sheshawnii...but it's typical of my House.

8. To which social class do you belong?
I'm a Member of a Lesser Noble House.

9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
Not that I am aware of?

10. Are you right- or left-handed?
Predominately right.

11. What does your voice sound like?
Higher pitched, I'm rather loud. I can be incredibly quiet if I want to be.

12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
"Uh? Um? Huh? What? What was that?" I use a lot...mostly because people misspeak, or think I can hear them when I can't.

13. What do you have in your pockets?
In my belt pouch I carry my spellbook, coin, something to write on and with, oddities I find.

14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
I have many. Others generally find me annoying, because I ask so many questions, or don't grasp a fact the first time. I'm not quite as confident as I used to be, either.

Part 2: Growing Up

15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
Typical. Learning the ways of scribing and history.

16. What is your earliest memory?
Making my first journal.

17. How much schooling have you had?
Pretty average for a Dawncry, which is a lot.

18. Did you enjoy school?
It's our trade, and in our blood. Of course!

19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
History and writing is a communal thing: we all learn it. We tend to research and learn magics in our own time, though we stick with the same general things. Practicality.

20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
Not particularly.

21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
The House gets along well. We're quiet, and easy to get along with as a whole.

A scribe for a Noble House...which I am.

23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
Learning, magic specifically.

24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
Same as most.

25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
We didn't really have time to grow as human children do. We focus on studies.

26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
Not sure. Hundreds of years don't really matter, and romance is...foreign.

27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
Huh? What's that?

28. If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
I was born Fae....It's normal in the HomeLands to be such!

Part 3: Past Influences

29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
Losing my wings was a negative one, being elevated to Master status of my work was a positive!

I try not to let others influence me, but I need to obey those whom I serve.

31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Becoming Master level Historian & scribe.

Killed those who have attacked me. I need to defend myself.

Not that I am aware of.

35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
When I was lost originally, away from Home.

36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
Hmm. Not really sure...

37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
Not losing my wings...but that's merely because I always had them!

38. What is your best memory?
Being with Family.

39. What is your worst memory?
That torture with the cold iron.

Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions

40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?

Losing my family.

42. What are your religious views?
The same as that of any Sheshawnii: respect the elements, and equal exchange.

43. What are your political views?

44. What are your views on sex?
It's enjoyable?

45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
Um, yes? To defend myself. However, I try not to...

46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
Humans are evil to begin with. They hurt without thought, they invade and destroy...but there is also chances for brightness.

47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
Um...I don't get the whole romance thing.

48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
Being with family and being happy.

50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
No. *blinks*

51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
Hurt those who I'm close to. Heck, hurting without reason. It's not logical, and what comes around, goes around!

52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
Family, and to protect them.

Part 5: Relationships With Others

53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?
I try to keep polite, but I do tend to be a bit lax around those I know better.

54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
I don't have a single person who's more important than others...maybe Kerra? She's my first friend.

55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
Cousin Airivarri. He was alone in these Realms, and he did so much for himself.

62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
My family, of course. They'd help me out.

64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
I would hope my family would!

65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
I don't have anyone like that.

Oh, dear, no.

I'm not really an adventurer. I kinda follow the family.

93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
Not sure right now. I kinda already accomplished the biggest goal I wanted.

94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Probably still with the family.

95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?

Name 7 of Your Original Characters
1. Jaire Strongclaw
2. Kojiro Yamaine
3. Lillianna Dusksong
4. Phoenix Rose Dawncry-Nosetti
5. Spencer Sionnach
6. Suke Kawamoto
7. Nashoba

Jaire finds Kojiro’s secret stash of porn. On a scale of 1 to absolutely horrified, how do they react? Feel free to include why.
1. XD Jaire's bi, so gay porn? No big. She'd probably laugh and tease poor Koji!

Suke tells Lillianna something she likes about her. In counterpoint, Lillianna tells Suke something she dislikes about her. How does this play out?
Suke: Well....ARGH. FUCK YOU TOO. *goes mopey*
Lilli: *laughs*

Nashoba finds Jaire and Koji in bed together. What is her reaction?
*blink blink* Cuddling? (Since. Well. Gay boy with bi girl in bed? Nothing more than that! XDD)

Breakfast. [3]. [5]. The last bowl of cereal. Who gets it?
Spencer. Oh my god. She'd kick Lilli's ass if she attempted it. Then again, Lilli doesn't eat cereal.

[7] and [2] are in a room with their respective computers/ipods/boom boxes/whatever listening devices. There are no headphones (just speakers). What happens? (For the sake of argument, they can’t just go into separate rooms)
Nothing. Nashoba would be poking all the technology, having never seen it before. Koji would just be patient.

Survivor. Who gets voted off the island first? Who wins? Feel free to add any particular misadventures along the way.
Phee would be first gone, followed by Koji and Jaire. Spencer would quit, being bored, Lilli would cheat to get kicked off, and it'd be a tie between Nashoba and Suke.

[1] and [4] go out for a night on the town (this can be a date, a “girl’s night out,” or what-have-you). Where do they go?
To the club first, and then off to the woods to run about like crazies.

In a follow up to the previous question, at whatever the most awkward/compromising location on that list is, they run into [3]. What happens?
Lilli shrugs, and walks away.

[3] is kidnapped. What do [4] and [7] do about it (e.g. work together to rescue him/her, work separately and undermine each other’s efforts, ignore the situation completely)?
They'd try, and probably rescue her by accident, or Lilli would get out well before hand. XD

[2] confesses his/her undying love for [6]. What circumstances would be needed to bring this about, and how does [6] react?
Suke would be confused, and then Koji reveals that he thought that she was cross-dressing....and then runs like hell finding out she was a girl.

The police have just picked up [1] on suspicion of committing a crime. Who of the others is most likely to go to the police station and post bail?
Lilli and Spencer. They're punk too, so they understand that folks jump to conclusions (plus Jaire's a hero's daughter. Her mother would KILL her if she did a crime.) Phee would be too broke, Koji is nervous in public places, and Suke would be working on an escape plan.

--Optional follow up: What crime? Did they do it?
Probably robbery or defacing public property, which she wouldn't ever do.

[5], [1], and [7] stay at a hotel. Unfortunately, they get stuck with a room with only two beds and no couch. How do they resolve this?
Nashoba would sleep on the floor voluntarily, before the others could say a word.

[4] is granted the option to summon the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy gang to do their bit with any of the group (including him/herself). Who do they pick?
Koji. Because Phee would only understand the gay part of anything. XD She's not too bright otherwise. Book smart, not common sense.

All seven discover /b/. Reactions, plz.
OHDEARGODSWHY?!

Horror of horrors, the seven of them decide to order pizza. Who survives, who doesn’t, and what kind of pizza do they get? (Seven individual pizzas is considered cheating, yes)
They get a giant, party sized meatlovers. XD

[7] introduces [4] to his/her family. How does this go? (Ghosts are allowed for characters with deceased families)
Nashoba has no family (they abandoned her), soo....it wouldn't happen.

[2], [4], and [3] are in a play with a kissing scene. Who will have to kiss whom, and what do all three of them think of it?
Koji would fake ill the day of, Lilli doesn't care, and Phee doesn't understand gender differences. It'd probably be improved through.

Your story is being made into a movie, and the characters you’ve listed are allowed to pick who will be involved. Who do they choose? (This can be to play themselves or each other, to direct, compose, etc.)
It'd never happen. Everything would be covered in sparkles, too many brains working different ways. Something may blow up first.

[6] is pissed off over something. What do they do, and, more importantly, how do the others respond (you know, try to cheer them up, hide, etc.)?
Everyone would hide. Suke's a freakin' ninja. She'd kill them all until she calms down.

What's the worst thing someone could do to you?
Compare me to my mother.

What's the worst thing that could happen to you?
BECOME my mother.

What's the worst thing someone could say about a person?
There's a lot; it really depends on how the person reacts to different insults.

What's the best thing someone could say about a person?
Tell them they are perfect as who they are, and they should never think down on themselves.

Are men and women basically different?
Only physically. They're more the same than anything else.

Which is better, to be a woman or to be a man?
Neither. I've only ever been a girl, so I can't say otherwise.

Uh...nothing, really, other than determine gender of unborn children during pregnancy...YAY GENES!

What can women do that men can't do?
Menstruate? Give birth?

Is it possible to change genders?
Well, yeah.

How old is old enough to have sex?
When you're ready to accept everything that comes with it, not just the pleasure.

Is it wrong to have sex if you're unmarried?
I did it, so...I don't think so. It depends on what you believe.

Is it wrong to have sex with someone other than your spouse if you're married?
Yes. Unequivocally.

Is it wrong to have sex with a person of the same gender?
No...why would it be?

Is it wrong to have sex with a person of a different race (or a different intelligent non-human species)?
No. Again, why would it be?

Is it wrong to have more than one sexual partner at the same time?
If they don't know about each other, or if they aren't comfortable with that idea: yes. As long as everyone's cool with it, it's fine.

Seeing as I was such a child...I don't like it, but it does happen. I can't say it's right or wrong.

Is abortion wrong?
*sighs* It....it is and it isn't. It's wrong if it's for the wrong reasons. You can't physically or mentally handle the pregnancy or birth; rape victims; etc....then it's still more of an..."eeeehhhh..." with me, but more understandable.

Is contraception wrong?
No. It's smart.

Is there one true religion?
of course not! Everyone holds different values as important! You can't say someone's wrong because they don't agree with you!

Does a deity or deities exist?
I believe so, yes.

How important is it to believe in a deity or deities?
Depends on how you view it.

How important is it to actively practice your religion?
If you're going to say you follow a religion, follow it and practice, fer crying out loud, but don't be a fanatic.

Does magic exist?
Yes. Magic is part of a religion, just as miracles are parts of others. Same thing, in my book.

Is practicing magic wrong?
No. Same as with miracles: are miracles wrong?

Is killing always wrong?
...in self-defense, there's more leeway...but it's the moral damage it does. I hate death and killing.

Is war always wrong?
Has there ever been a good reason for war?

If you're old enough to understand what you're doing, and that those you face are the same as you...and you can handle the consequences...you're old enough.

Is rape always wrong?
Yes.

Is torture always wrong?
Yes.

Is theft always wrong?
Yes.

Is slavery wrong?
Yes! Everyone is equal!

Is lying wrong?
...this is iffy. Not too sure how I stand here.

Is swearing wrong?
No! Why the fuck would it be? They're just words!

Greetings, this is Cube.

Those stockings are freaking awesome and if Cube were not a dude, or perhaps were a dude who could make it look profoundly masculine, Cube would wear them. However, Cube's not being into the whole metro-sexual style makes that difficult. Cube speaks in third person, only because he genuinely thinks inexplicably highly of himself and is seriously considering doing this full time. Then again, he might piss someone off. Cube requests that Jaire do the same, but only in the event that Jaire feels compelled. Cube also requests that Jaire does not take offense, as Cube is actually doing this out of boredom and nothing else.

P.S. Cube would like to see Jaire's suggested poems.

p.s.s. Cube also wants to know the origin of the name Jaire.
