About Me
"I'm gonna start now, 'kay? Maybe you should write all of this down or something."Name: "Um, my name is Kyo Foínika Emmerich. Please don't ask, even I'm not completely sure. One time, I looked up my names; it said Kyo was Japanese for imaginary, Foínika was Greek for phoenix, and Emmerich was German for royalty."
Nickname: "Well, you can't really pull any nicknames out of Kyo, can you? I have been called "freak", "loser", and "psychopath" Don't tell anyone, but I secretly call myself Phoenix."
Age: "I'm sixteen. I hate driving though."
Birthday: "My birthday is April 15th 1996. Day of taxes and Da Vinci's birth."
Birthplace:"I don't know. Sorry."Getting to Know Me
"I'm not very interesting..."Personality:"Hm, that's a toughie."
Awkward: Kyo definitely knows how to kill a conversation. It's not that she tries to, but she says the awkwardest things that make people say "Oh, look at the time! Gotta go!". She likes friendships and all, but for her, they're pretty hard to make. Keeping a conversation alive is quite difficult, and when she attempts talking, she stutters and acts like an idiot. She hates huge crowds without a friend by her side; they make her extremely jumpy and nervous.
A Bit Broken: Kyo has had a bit of a rough life, but she tries to make sure that doesn't get in her way. Every once in a while, it does. When that happens, she closes up and oftentimes tries to separate herself from others; she doesn't want them to have to deal with her.
Bittersweet: She can be a sweetheart if she opens up to you. Once she knows you, she can be fun-loving and odd, but in a good way. She loves giving hugs and receiving them aren't half-bad either. Anything past that though, and she might freak out. Be it love issues, emotional or physical trauma, or you just want to talk, she'll try her hardest to be there. She likes to randomly compliment people. If she doesn't know you, however, she can be a bit harsh.
Kid-at-Heart: Spongebob or Scrubs? Kyo would pick a kid's show over an "adult" show any day. She loves cartoons and toys and play-pretending. She knows how to act mature, but she'd rather be over at the bouncy house than talking with adults. She doesn't get many sexual innuendos, but when she does, she turns a bright cherry red and becomes almost completely quiet. She's oblivious to flirts and often tries to make an excuse before they start to throw themselves at her. Academically, she's pretty smart; romantically though, she's more dimwitted than a goldfish.
Nerdy: She's the kind of girl who you would find analyzing a fossil than getting her hair done. She loves science to no end, especially Biology and Chemistry. She's not very nerdy in the sense of tv-show fandoms, however. If Doctor Who comes up in a conversation, she'll most likely go "Who? You don't know your own doctor's name?". Kyo's pretty open to new things though. Math is probably her hardest subject, but the lowest grade she's ever gotten in that class was a B-. She's a bit too ditzy to help out a lot with homework, but she tries to help people whenever she can. Even though she's quite smart, her common sense is lacking. She often forgets to put things up, and does things without thinking them through.
Likes: "Oh! This'll be easy!"
- Chocolate. Just give her a little bar and she'll be pleased with you for the rest of the day.
- Animals. She thinks they're adorable, and loves stroking their fur.
- Sunshine. She loves the warmth of the sun, and will be outside as long as she possibly can.
- Japanese culture. Everything from the food to the music.
- Bright colors. They attract her attention very well, and cheer her up.
- The color heliotrope. It's an odd, not very known color. It varies from person to person, and that's why she loves it. One day, she wishes to get heliotrope streaks in her hair.
Dislikes: "Ack."
- Driving.
- Storms. She's not exactly scared of thunder and lightning, but she wants them gone as soon as possible.
- Extremely cold days.
- The fact that she puts in lots of fillers in her sentences.
- Being considered a freak or a weaboo.
- Blood. It sometimes can be a reminder of the past.
Fears: "Um, if I tell you, you won't try to scare me?"
- Moths.
- Natural disasters.
- Dying without ever being liked or loved.
- The dark.
- Planes.
Dreams: "I wish to be a chemist or biologist when I grow up. Those jobs seem so cool! Being a musician would be really cool too."
Hobbies:"Well, I like painting, practicing piano, and learning new languages. I'm currently attempting to learn German. People say I'm good at singing, but I hate singing in front of others, and I'll only do it when I'm by myself." Background
"You just had to make this whole ordeal that much more awkward, didn't you?"
History: "Um. Well, first off, I'm an orphan. I'm not sure where I was born but the first thing my mom did was drop me off at the orphanage. Haha, guess I wasn't the face a mother could love, huh? Yeah. When I was nine, I got adopted into a military family. June 26th, 2005. We moved to Japan only six months afterwards. I loved it in Japan. The cherry blossoms were so pretty, I finally fit in amongst my peers, everything was perfect. I even learned a new language. You're probably thinking right now "And then you moved back to America! Happy ending!"
Sorry, but no. After about six years, we got on the plane back to America. I was so excited. It was good the first few hours, but then the engines failed. The plane was falling out of the sky so fast, I honestly thought we were going to burn up in the atmosphere. It crashed somewhere on the East coast; my parents were going to visit family. Everyone except for about seven others died. That seven didn't include my parents. I was soon whisked off to the hospital, and then the orphanage. My grandparents decided that they were too old to take care of me. There was no one else in my family. I was alone. The caretakers didn't really care much about the older kids; neither did the people who came in. I got to wander around town. I got lost in the forests quite a lot, but God help me if it wasn't fun. No one really wanted to hang around me anymore. I-I got used to it. There, I-I'm done. Happy now?"
Family: "No one."
Pets: "They don't allow pets in the orphanage. But, I do go visit the rescue center whenever possible."
Significant Memories:"The plane crash. No memory becomes truly significant after that."
