Username: SeaCrest
Name: Eithne
Gender: Female
Orientation: Demi bisexual
Personality:Eithne is a little odd in that with close friends, she is actually much quieter than she is with strangers. For someone who doesn't truly know her, she is outgoing, friendly, rambunctious - the life of the party. But among her true friends, she is calm, quiet, and reserved. This behavior stems from being bullied as a child for being shy; in order to combat this, she developed a public persona that was bright and cheerful. It is absolutely exhausting for her to maintain, and after long periods of this, she will essentially shut down, sequestering herself alone to recuperate. A select few, trusted friends are allowed to come and find her no matter what state she is in, and these are the ones that field questions and redirect those who are looking for her when she's had enough. They understand that she is actually much more introverted than most people could imagine, and respect that; if they don't, she would never have let them into her inner circle.
This isn't to say that Eithne hates socializing. She loves it, in small doses, with friends she knows and trusts. She will always be the first to suggest a celebration for a success - or a commisery party if something's gone wrong. This is what makes her persona so absolute; she will go far, far out of her comfort zone to accommodate her friends, and if that means throwing an enormous party and socializing with scores of complete strangers to make a friend feel better, she will. It might take her days to recover, but she will do it, and smile while she's at it. It's the greatest gift one can receive from her; the sacrifice of her own comfort for yours.
