Anime and manga meme

[rachelmanija]

There is a meme going around where if you post to some thread somewhere, other people will tell you what anime or manga character you remind them of. Unfortunately, it has now gotten so long that my computer has a fit if I try to go there. So...

1. Post here and tell me what anime or manga (or literary or TV, whatever) character I resemble!

(I am assuming this is all about the personality, not looks (or gender, humanity, etc) or it would be tough. I recently learned, for instance, that Heero "I will now self-destruct" Yuy's hair is not, as it appears onscreen, dark brown, but is officially "moss green.")

2. Upon request, I will do the same for you! (But please don't request unless I actually do know you fairly well, or else I will be stumped.)

Comments

Ah. That probably explains why nobody's replied to my comment there. XD

...I'm going to take that as a "do me."

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

For you, intellect and analysis go hand in hand with creativity and instinct. You have a scientific background and a research-oriented job; a dry and sometimes snarky sense of humor; and you are good company but are basically self-sufficient.

You are Ginko from Mushishi!

Re: ...I'm going to take that as a "do me." (In *what way*, exactly? XD)

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Eeeeee! XD

Now this means I have to come up with you. I shall ponder...

Re: ...I'm going to take that as a "do me." (In *what way*, exactly? XD)

I know! I know! While you are indeed short and dark-haired like the character, you also are intelligent and snarky and athletic, and also sensible and caring, and have managed to turn out incredibly well-adjusted in the face of extreme familial insanity.

You are Kurosaki Karin from Bleach!

"do me." (In *what way*, exactly? XD) That's for me to know and you to wonder about!

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

I love Karin.

[rushthatspeaks.livejournal.com]

Steph: You are analytic and intellectual, but also focused on art; self-sufficient but devoted to your friends; interested in enjoying life but always able to point out its stupidities. And you love information, handling it, organizing it, finding out more of it.

You are Kokone from Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou.

[coffeeandink.livejournal.com]

Do me!

[yhlee.livejournal.com]

Do you know how hard it is to stare at your icon and not think, But you are obviously Stitch!?

But I do not speak for rachelmanija, of course. *beatific smile*

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

You are intelligent, intellectual, and a bit shy; you are more courageous and compassionate than even you realize; and you never stop trying to understand the world better, and to be a better person.

You are Mine from Eternal Sabbath!

[oyceter]

You have a burrow of books. You are smart and know millions of things, you fight evil and ignorance, you are a little shy until drawn out, and like Rachel says, you are more courageous and compassionate than you realize.

You are Yomiko from Read or Die!

[rushthatspeaks.livejournal.com]

I agree with this completely, and it's the one I was going to say.

[yhlee.livejournal.com]

Me! Me!

I am trying to think of a character for you, but none of them are well-adjusted enough!

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Oh, give it a shot anyway! You can always factor in how freaking insane and self-destructive I used to be.

You are extremely intelligent, and have an unusually wide range of talents; you can translate ancient writings (do math) and rappel off a building (compose music) with equal ease. Your parents are difficult, your moods are a rollercoaster, and you accomplish more, and are thought about more, than you ever realize. I think you would look good in black leather.

You are Wesley Wyndam-Pryce from Angel!

[yhlee.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHA! I will have to tell my husband. (It is, um, household canon that he is Lilah.) Also, I am now sad that I don't own any black leather except for a braided belt in a box somewhere. (Which is not helpful, because none of my current pants have belt loops.) Sometime I need to unearth the Angel roleplaying game and show it to you! It is hysterical.

You have a dark past from a dysfunctional family, are good at commanding people (in the kitchen or otherwise!), have a compassionate heart, are hot (I say this platonically, of course!), are smart, do good damage control...you are Katsuragi Misato from Evangelion! Except less doomed. *g*

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Hee! Misato was by far my favorite character. My soapdish is Misato taking a bath with a beer can in one hand.

[oyceter]

Oooo, that's a good one too!

[vom-marlowe.livejournal.com]

I think Watari, from the anime, because: brilliant, competent, friendly, and oddly well-adjusted yet hangs out in a crack-filled universe.

Also: Do me!

[oyceter]

You are cute, funny, upbeat, and dedicated to your mission (art). Also, you enjoy life and make sure to take care of yourself, and on top of that, you have a secret strength inside you, and a canine protector.

You are Yuzuriha Nekoi from X.

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

You are a practical and grounded person; you have a fine appreciation for the sensual and quotidian pleasures of life; everyone has issues, but you've basically got your head together; and when you believe in something, you pursue it or defend it with a steely determination that might surprise people.

You are Kareen Koudelka from Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan saga!

[kate_nepveu]

I totally suck at this, because I can't get past "but, you're _Rachel_!"

But I promise to think about it, and if anything jumps to mind for me, that would be nice.

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

You are focused, perceptive, and a voice of reason when everyone around you is going completely insane.

You are Kate Somerville from the Lymond Chronicles!

[kate_nepveu]

Gosh. Thanks.

I will keep thinking, but I really suck at this. The only person I've come up with hasn't even asked. =>

[oyceter]

Ooo, this is hard. I think telophase's is dead on, but I will try to think of someone else as well!

You are kickass, smart, unafraid to say what you think, and insanely funny. Also, you are remarkably sane given your surroundings. Through all of this, you manage to do what you think is right, to have fun, and to protect those you love.

You are Kenren from Saiyuki Gaiden!

Do me, do me!

[rilina.livejournal.com]

You are smart. You like to have fun even though you can also be sane when others around you are crazy. You are a foodie. You like small rodents.

You are clearly Fuu from Samurai Champloo!

[oyceter]

Eeee! Fuu and Momo!

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

I have to agree: Fun-loving, food-loving, determined, a good friend but not one to take too much guff from anyone, appreciative of life's small and large pleasures, with your spirit unquenched by past traumas or present hardships, accompanied by a rodent companion.

You are still Fuu!

[oyceter]

Yay Fuu! I should name one of my next rats Momo/

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Kenren! Wow, I am flattered.

[rushthatspeaks.livejournal.com]

Oyce: Your bounciness and sense of play go hand-in-hand with intelligence, tactfulness, loyalty, and a willingness to try new experiences no matter how bizarre. You love food and animals and crafts, but you can fight very hard for a cause you believe in, and you don't shy away from intellectual and moral dilemmas.

You are Orihime from Bleach.

Please note that Orihime is my favorite character from this series.

[oyceter]

Eeee! I love Orihime!

[rilina.livejournal.com]

Me! Me! Me!

I think another possible Bleach character match for you would be Tatsuki; both of you kick ass and care deeply about your friends.

[oyceter]

(I thought of Tatsuki too!)

Oh, I was going to do yours except the page freezes my computer.

You are sane in the midst of crazy, don't take emo-ness seriously, wish people would be less stupid, but still enjoy the crack. You also work hard, are smart, practical, and care a lot about your friends.

You are Haruhi from Ouran High School Host Club!

[rilina.livejournal.com]

Hee! And I also drink commoner coffee!

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

You are really funny, and appreciate the comic absurdity of life and art; you're very competent and have technical skills; you're a fun and loyal friend; and you fight hard and well and seriously for what you believe in.

You are Mickle from Lloyd Alexander's Westmark trilogy, circa The Beggar Queen!

[yhlee.livejournal.com]

Dude, this is an awesome match!

[rushthatspeaks.livejournal.com]

Do me?

Rachel: you are stable and sane despite having spent a great deal of time around people who are completely barking mad; you are intelligent but still compassionate, and drop an occasional word of extremely good advice; and you look good in a corset.

You are Karen from X/1999.

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

I was hoping someoneone would say Karen!

I will contemplate you and get back to you.

[rilina.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about Karen for you too!

[oyceter]

Karen was on my shortlist for you too!

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

You can be very down-to-earth, but there's something a bit otherworldly about you, too, a fascinating mystery; out of everyone I know, you're the person who I'd most like to be for a while, just to experience what it's like to be you. You have an affinity for the profound questions about love and death and what it all means. You have a rich and unusual interior life. Also, you're smart and kind and a good friend.

Okay, I swear I'm not saying this just to please you-- look at the description above and see how well it fits-- You are Kaworu from Neon Genesis Evangelion!

[rushthatspeaks.livejournal.com]

eee that is one of the nicest things anybody has said to me ever eeee!

Thanks! That's really sweet! I have angst on occasion, which is foreign to his system, but it's quite a compliment.

[larryhammer]

Yo.

I'm trying to come up with a reason to claim you are like Uo-chan from Fruits Basket, but haven't managed a coherent explanation.

---L.

[cofax7]

Hmm. Can you do me? Or do we have to have met in meat-space?

As for you, you're funny and tough and sexy and kind of intimidating -- you're like a well-adjusted Faith! *g*

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

You are confident, competent, and athletic; your're good at analysis and seeing the broad picture of things. You love your family and friends, but you're not one to get tied down in some stifling ideal of romance or domesticity. I'd want you on my side in the event of guerilla warfare or zombie apocalypse.

You are Jane Roland from the Temeraire series!

PS. Eeee! I love Faith!

But since I have you in a position to ask, why intimidating? I'm not insulted, just curious. I've had people say that before, but I think it usually had to do with education and vocabulary, which wouldn't apply here...

[sartorias.livejournal.com]

You're Goku from Saiyuki--just when everyone thinks, oh, funny cute little guy, he busts out as a powerhouse in two or three levels of the universe.
