* SiblingYinYang: With the elder of my two younger sisters. I'm an atheist, mathematical, sciencey, kind to everyone and very idealistic. She's religious, literary, artsy, acerbically snarky and very much a cynic. As such, we either get along really well or not at all.

* {{Tomboy}}: Of the geeky, science and maths loving variety. I also live in jeans and unisex t-shirts because I really don't feel comfortable wearing feminine clothes.
* TomboyishBaseballCap: I have several, including one from LEGOland and two with daleks drawn on them (by yours truly).
* TomboyishPonytail: My default hair style for school and other situations where hair might get in the way, largely because it takes all of ten seconds to do. Sometimes, I ignore my hair to such a degree that even a ponytail is too time-consuming.

I've recently been thinking a lot about my favourite fictional characters, so I thought I'd added a bit about them on here too. So, here's my eleven favourite characters, and the reasons why I like them so much.
* [[HarryPotter Remus Lupin]]: Unfailingly kind and accepting, Remus is the sort of person I aspire to be. Despite being hugely discriminated against for practically his entire life, he is still one of the most admirable characters in fiction.
* [[StarWars Obi-Wan Kenobi]]: Wise, kind and hilariously snarky, Obi-Wan has been my hero since I was really small. Practically the galaxy's ChewToy, he puts up with his horrible life and remains an amazing person to the very end.
* [[StargatSG1 Sam Carter]]: A physics genius, as well as a woman in a largely male-dominated profession, Sam is an inspiration to this particular female physics geek, who's been in male-dominated classes for years.

* NerdsLoveToughSchoolwork: I will admit that I rather enjoyed the nasty questions in a recent maths exam and have often wished that schoolwork would be more challenging.
