-Personality Stuff-
Likes:
Music - Curtain Call has always had a passion for music. She enjoys the bright, upbeat pop music, as well as the light, soft, sometimes sad music she has sung in classes. Fairly skilled with the saxophone and ukulele, she enjoys plinking along on the piano as well.
Acting - aspiring for this greatly, she enjoys the feeling of performing as another character, or even an inspiration of herself. Her forte is interaction with others, while monologing is a bit tougher, and improv certainly not her strong suit. Overall, though, she enjoys this very much.
Art and Reading/Writing - drawing and painting and sculpting, oh my! CC enjoys all types of art, as well as reading (don't forget the comics!) and writing of all sorts (except research papers!). Often times, she will be reading three or four novels at the same time—and still somehow keep track of them.
Interaction - though at times she is a bit introverted, often times she craves friends to be around, laughs to be shared, and inside jokes to tease. She thrives in near any situation, from a large group to alone time, mainly depending on her mood.
Dislikes:
Pressure - CC often procrastinates, but hates the feeling of pressure. Such a feeling makes her feel rushed—even moreso if she is truly rushed—and frazzled, often affecting the quality of her work. The effects of pressure often prolong to a few days after the pressure is relieved, and she'll be left tired and irritated, somewhat cranky in this state.
Awkward moments and confrontation - she's just not one for random conversation with random people, unless there is some similarity or real quality she can relate to with the other. She's also not best with confrontation, and is often much better off being left to herself.
Disagreements - when she very strongly feels for something, it really bothers her when people disagree with her—or rather, when they won't give up bashing her own idea. It really ruffles her feathers when a close friend is so stubbornly against something harmless that they revert to insulting her own side, mainly because it hurts when they insult it.
Motivation: CC finds motivation in her passions, and works hard to do her best on such occasions. She also finds motivation in her family and friends, and often finds she can do better when anyone she cares about is cheering her on. Finally, she finds that aspiring for the future motivates her a lot, even though it's all undecided, she finds it something to look forward to and work towards.
Strengths: Given her liking towards the Arts, CC has found herself a strong mare in such areas. She has a talent for singing and dancing, is always working on strengthening her acting skills, has a knack for poetry, and is fairly capable of retaining information read in her favorite books. She also enjoys writing stories, though she has a tendency to leave them half-written for long periods of time.
This mare is also quite studious, and finds her classes a right challenge—not too tricky so to always stress her out, but not too easy that she gets bored (usually)—giving her a knack for scholary activities. She is a fair mathematician in terms of teens, understands enough of the history to get by, and is a fairly good student when studying (flash cards can really help!)
Finally, CC finds ways to keep her and other ponies' spirits up, often able to look on the bright side of things. She's not the strongest physically, but has fair emotional strength. Using her talents, she keeps her mood happy for the most part, and tries her best to keep it that way.
Weaknesses/Flaws: CC isn't physically very strong, both because of her lightweight pegasus stature and lack of any sports activities—she's lean, not muscled. She's no speedster when it comes to flying, but can make short sprints as she flies. She tires somewhat easily, not as capable of long distance flying or trotting. She also has asthma, really only brought along with strenuous physical activity, but she blames it on physical education classes.
She also tends to dwell on things long after they've happened, whether they turned out alright or not. It bothers her when she makes big mistakes, and so she can often be bothered by these things at random times, even years after the occasion had ended. She works to fix this, though as of now it is still a big weakness.
Finally, CC often doesn't realize how loud she is being, how excited she seems, or how jumpy she's being, until her friends point it out. She is very passionate about what she loves, so even if it is pointed out, she often doesn't care, and just laughs as she continues. But if it does get quite loud, she will eventually stop. Eventually.
Fears: CC has a big fear of what waits in large, dark spaces. She hates to be alone in a room when it's dark, along with walking down long halls with no lights. It just makes her paranoid, even when she knows nothing is there. She also tends to fear rejection, and gets very anxious when she is awaiting an answer to something she cares about deeply, often to the point of worrying herself into a frazzled mood. Finally, she often overthinks things, making her fear the slightest things when they're only trivial—often it only happens once, maybe twice with one thing.
Personality: CC is a usually bright pony who can show a colorful array of emotions. Depending on her mood, things can be very...different. She tries to stay cheery, and often uses her talents to keep herself that way, by singing, playing her instruments, drawing, writing, etc...until whatever bad mood she was in passes; but other times, she just prefers to let herself get disappointed—she feels it helps her vent. On those days, she's quite sarcastic, and just a little irritable.
She doesn't always like to admit her flaws, or even her talents, which can make her vary from seriously headstrong to seriously humble, depending on how she felt on her performance. Often, if she finds an outcome unfair, she will continue to talk about the outcome for much longer than really needed. It can get on others' nerves, depending on how persistent she's being. She can often still bring up that occasion even weeks afterwards—sometimes months, maybe even years—depending on how she felt about it.
Finally, CC is a true, true friend, through and through. Her friends make her stronger, and much brighter. She may be a bit too huggy, a bit too loud, and a bit too passionate, but really, she's just happy to have the friends she does. She always tries her hardest to be there for her friends, to help them along the way in any way possible, and to make sure any disagreements are passed quickly—she hates it when her friends fight.
Overall, CC is a friendly young mare with an inclination to being a little "over the top" when it comes to her emotions, but really, she can usually keep them in check.
