History Tropers / Dragonessa

Hey people!
My name around here is Dragonessa. I won't share my real name...because sharing information over the internets can lead to bad things sometimes am I right?
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to come by my page and look around! There's not much, but it will give you an idea of what I am like in the real world I think.

My Bio:
I was born in Chicago, aka the Windy City on June 21, 1990. Calculate my age if you wish, but a lady never reveals her age personally. I am on the short side of the height spectrum, but I don't let that get me down. My voice is naturally soft and whispery, so it does make it a pain if I have to talk to people and they don't get a word I say. Still, it is fun to use my voice to be creepy or act like a favorite fantasy novel character. Can you guess who that is? He has a soft voice too! As far as a career goes, I have a little job writing articles for Yahoo Contributors. Whether that will pay off or not, I have no idea but I do hope to get a job that provides a monthly paycheck. I am currently in college, taking classes at WCC.

My Hobbies:
As far as hobbies go, I ''love'' to write. It is the most fun I have these days, coming up with worlds and characters, or adapting favorite characters to my own imagination. As you might expect, I do write fan fiction and I hope one of my fanfics possibly ends up on TVtropes as a Recommended Fic. My name on FF.net is DragonGirl007 for those who wish to read my work. I also like to play video games...a lot. Most of my games are for Playstation 2, but I recently got a Nintendo Wii and I am building up my collection for that as well. I also have a DS for when I want to take games on the go. My other hobbies include watching science fiction or fantasy movies and reading lots and lots of books.

My Interests:
My interests are Anime, Manga. Dragons (hence the dragon part of my username. It borderlines on obsession), Video Games, TV, Computers, and Cosplay

So, that is really all you need to know about me! If you ever want to talk, slip me a PM and I will be sure to respond.

My Other Sites:
I also use a lot of other sites besides TVtropes. Here's a list.
Deviantart: Dragonessa007 (Used frequently for photos, not so much for art or stories)
FF.net: DragonGirl007 (My most active site, I post stories there often and add to my current ones)
Livejournal: Dragonessa007 (I don't use it much, but I do promote my fanfiction there)

The name is Dragonessa...or you can refer to me as Nessa for short. (''No'' Nessa is not my real name...but you get the point). Anyway, I freaking love this site and have added my two cents on various subjects, and even started what I think may have been a war over on the review page for my review of the Inheritance Cycle. Which happens to be dead honesty for those who ''still'' don't believe me. I pretty much found this site completely by chance on a random Google search and was hooked ever since. Take a look below to see what Tropes found around here apply to moi as well as everything I like.

!!Applicable Tropes:
* BadassBookworm
* BerserkButton: Call me ''short'', ''shrimp'', ''tiny'', or any variation thereof and you '''''DIE'''''
* LiteralMinded
* {{Moe}}: A lot of people consider me to be ''very'' cute, including the one guy i have the ''biggest'' crush on
* WaifFu: I happen to know a good deal of Tae-Kwon Do
* CuteBruiser: I can be pretty gnarly sometimes...
* PintsizedPowerhouse: 4'10 and as stated above, knows enough Tae-Kwon Do to kick someone's ass
* FightingForSurvival: Not in the sense of actual fighting, but I was born ''23 weeks'' premature and survived that

!!Anime
These are the Anime that have a place on my absolute favorites list:
* {{Kuroshitsuji}}
* {{Hellsing}}
* {{Blood Plus}}
* {{Fullmetal Alchemist}}
* {{Vampire Knight}}
* {{Ouran High School Host Club}}
* YuGiOh!
* {{Naruto}}

There are probably a lot more on that list, but I have either forgotten them or can't recall them...XD

!!Music
These are the composers I absolutely adore. I have lots of bands/singers I like too, but there are just too many of those to list!
* {{John Williams}}
* {{Danny Elfman}}
* Howard Shore
* Harry Gregson-Williams
* {{Clint Mansell}}
* {{Yoko Shimomura}}
* {{Nobuo Uematsu}}

!!Books
As I am an avid reader, I have many book series/novels that I adore beyond reason. Here they are.
* {{Dragonlance}}
* {{Forgotten Realms}}: Specifically the Legend of Drizzt series
* {{Harry Potter}} novels
* {{Artemis Fowl}} series
* {{The Supernaturalist}}
* {{Jurassic Park}} and {[The Lost World}}.: The books that hooked me onto sci-fi and dinosaurs ''forever''.
* {{Next}}: Another Chrichton novel, about animals and genetics, and what happens when things go wrong...just without the dinosaurs. Still awesome though.
* {{The Da Vinci Code}}: I would be ''lying'' if I didn't say I ''love'' this book.
* {{Angels and Demons}}: Again, Dan Brown. Awesome Book. Nothing more need be said. The ending is especially mindblowing.

I've probably got a million other favorites that haven't made this list yet too...

!!Manga
My favorite manga series are here (I finally got into manga when I finally figured out how to read it the correct way XD)
* {{Kuroshitsuji}}
* {{Fullmetal Alchemist}}
* {{Vampire Knight}}
* {{Vampire Hunter D}}: Good '''''god''''', I was ''swooning'' when I saw how D was designed for the manga...much sexier than his movie versions by ''far''.
* {{Ouran High School Host Club}}
* {{Chobits}}
* {{Rozen Maiden}}
* {{Trigun}}
* {{Pokemon}}: I'm talking the original comic book series, which I happen own copies of...not the Pokemon Adventures and everything else that came after it.

!!Movies
Needless to say, being an Anime and Manga buff, automatically throws the Movie Lover trope to me as well. Here's my list of my favorite films.
* {{Jurassic Park}}: Has been, and always will be my ultimate favorite movie '''''EVER'''''.
* {{Avatar}}
* {{Alien}} series: Especially the second film, {{Aliens}}.
* {{Nightmare on Elm Street}}: The ''2010'' remake version. Don't shoot me. I happen to think Jackie Earle Hayley made an ''amazing'' Freddy Krueger, and managed to make the clawed, burned man creepy as all '''''hell''''' and strangely ''sexy'' at the same time.
* {{Lord of the Rings}} trilogy: ''Hands down'' best set of fantasy movies '''''EVER MADE'''''. Don't agree with me? Be prepared to get pounded by legions of fans who say otherwise.
* {{Memoirs of a Geisha}}: Combine beautiful visuals with exotic characters and one of the most ''gorgeous'' scores ever, and you've got a winner right here.
* {{Harry Potter}} series: Needs no explanation. At all.
* {{Star Wars}}. I have to say Qui-Gon Jinn is more like Qui-''yum''-Jinn. The lightsaber battles are pretty epic too.
* {{Star Trek IV}}: This is one of my fave sci-fi films, just for Spock nerve pinching the punk on the bus, and swimming in the whale tank combined with the ''epic'' {{Oh Crap}} face that William Shatner sported.
* {{Star Trek 2009}}: Amazing movie + '''''sexiest''''' vulcan ever = AWESOME
* Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children: It's Final Fantasy, do I need to explain?
* Final Fantasy: The Spritis Within: Also amazing and same as above. Nothing more need be said.
* {{Sweeney Todd}}: Johnny Depp. Crazy Barber with gorgeous singing voice. Enough said.
* {{Alice in Wonderland}}: Johnny Depp. Mad Hatter. Again, enough said.
* {{X-Men}} series : Nightcrawler. Enough said. "You've never lived until you've loved a guy with a tail!" Truer words could not be spoken. Oh, and of course, Wolverine...and Angel.

!!Video Games
I am a gamer, and damn proud of it. My favorites are listed here.
* {{Pokemon}}: I still own my copies of Red, Blue, and Yellow. I also have Silver, Sapphire, and Soul Silver, as well as Pokemon Stadium 2, Pokemon Snap, and Pokemon Colloseum.
* {{Kingdom Hearts}} series
* {{Final Fantasy VII}}
* {{Final Fantasy X}} and {{Final Fantasy X-2}}
* Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
* {{Dead Space}}: Scared me absolutely '''''shitless''''' but it was ''so'' worth it.
* {{Silent Hill}} series: Same as above, but worth it all the same. Also, '''''PYRAMID HEAD!'''''
* {{Spyro the Dragon}}: I have my original copies of the first three playstation games, a few of the gameboy games and all of the PS2 games. Sense the obsession here? I do to. But it is ''so'' justified.
* {{Sly Cooper}} series: Sparked an interest in furries, and happens to be badass. Can't wait for Sly 4 which is ''confirmed'' and the news of which brought me to squeeling fits of fangirling.
* Soul Calibur IV: Admit it, you've made a fighter that looks like you, just to see how sexy you can look in all those skimpy outfits. Same goes for boys, but with more badassery thrown in.
* {{Bioshock}} and Bioshock 2: '''''Amazing''''' graphics, fluid gameplay and downright freaky enemies, this game has it ''all''.
* Super Smash Bros. Brawl
* Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: The ''swooning'' commenced as soon as I saw Link. Even moreso in his infamous green clothes, riding Epona and looking badass. Further cemented my love of pointy-eared guys.
* YuGiOh: Duelists of the Roses: The one and only YuGiOh game I own, that I ever obsessed over and still love to play. I heard rumors you can get the God Cards in that game, and am on a quest to prove if it is true or not.


Well, that is pretty much all I can say as far as my favorite things. If you people out there however, feel I fit into any other trope, then by all means tell me! :D I love to talk to people.


If you ever want to talk to me, by all means send me a message!

* BeserkButton: Call me ''short'', ''shrimp'', ''tiny'', or any variation thereof and you '''''DIE'''''

* {{Final Fantasy: The Spritis Within}}: Also amazing and same as above. Nothing more need be said.

* {{X2}}: Nightcrawler. Enough said. "You've never lived until you've loved a guy with a tail!" Truer words could not be spoken.

Anyway, I freaking love this site and have added my two cents on various subjects, and even started what I think may have been a war over on the review page for my review of the Inheritance Cycle. Which happens to be dead honesty for those who ''still'' don't believe me.
