1 | Hello there! |
2 | |
3 | I'm not going write a lengthy description of myself, since labeling myself is so much more fun: hence the sort-of-lengthy trope list below. But I will mention that I'm a young adult (which means somewhere between 17 and 27), I'm a dedicated writer (troping my WIP was pure heaven), I'm a Christian (but please don't label me with any stereotypes, especially if they start with "evangelical" or "fundamentalist"), and I'm a woman (which should be rather obvious from my handle). My handle also happens to hold several other clues to my personality, but I won't go on about them here. Tropes await! |

5 | '''Jewel Maiden's life provides examples of:''' |
6 | * {{Afraid of Needles}}: Not to a debilitating extent, but enough. |
7 | * {{Brainy Brunette}}: Er -- yes. Humble, too. Quite. |
8 | * {{Bad Dreams}}: I get these quite a lot, though I don't see how they can possibly signify an intriguing {{Back Story}}. I haven't been around that long, and I don't believe in reincarnation. Deja vu? Snort. |
9 | * {{Beware The Nice Ones}}: People tend to think I'm sweet and cute ... until they push a button. |
10 | * {{Bookworm}}: Like you wouldn't believe. |
11 | * {{Born In The Wrong Century}}: Though if I ever time-travel, I'm taking my chapstick with me. |
12 | * {{Clingy Jealous Girl}}: On occasion. |
13 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: It's debatable whether I've ever been described so well by a single trope page. Except that...well...you live in the world, and you learn things. But you forget them as often as possible. |
14 | * {{Genius Book Club}}: Not on purpose. I can't help it that I regularly read {{War and Peace}} and {{Middlemarch}} for fun. |
15 | * {{Girl Next Door}}: Preeeety much. Certainly I look like the classic example, but other tropes may disprove this. |
16 | * {{Grammar Nazi}}: For lack of a better term. I'm more of a Punctuation Rights Activist than anything; as a matter of fact, I champion split infinitives. |
17 | * {{Mood Swinger}}: Oh, goodness. |
18 | * {{My Eyes Are Up Here}}: I've had to use this line a few times--but, being shy, I mostly glare out of the corner of my eye. Believe me, [[BuxomIsBetter buxom ISN'T better]]. |
19 | * {{NaNoWriMo}}: I would not miss it for ''anything''. |
20 | * {{Not A Morning Person}}: Could anyone be less so? (Though technically speaking -- cue the hate! -- right after midnight is my best time. In ... the morning.) |
21 | * {{Not Helping Your Case}}: This is true for me much more often than I like to admit. |
22 | * {{Shorter Means Smarter}}: Well, I like to think so. |
23 | * {{Tsundere}}: Type B (though I've delivered several undeserved [[ArmorPiercingSlap Armor Piercing Slaps]] before). I am being brutally honest, by the way. [[SincerityMode This is a Brutally Honest page]]. |
24 | * {{Write Who You Know}}: I've done this more than once. And ''nobody's ever guessed it''. |
25 | |
26 | '''Jewel Maiden's main work-in-progress provides examples of:''' |
27 | * {{All Girls Want Bad Boys}}: Played straight with [[FieryRedhead Rhoyna]], averted with [[YamatoNadeshiko Glynnis]]. |
28 | * {{Bad Dreams}}: Evan and Glynnis. |
29 | * {{Big Brother Instinct}}: Evan to Rhoyna. |
30 | * {{Bittersweet Ending}}: Due in part to {{Maybe Ever After}}. |
31 | * {{Break The Cutie}}: Selwin and Rhoyna. The verdict's still out on whether Margery counts. |
32 | * {{The Charmer}}: Selwin. Oh so much. |
33 | * {{Cruel and Unusual Death}}: Subverted. Thank God. |
34 | * {{Death Seeker}}: Evan, which overlaps with {{Glory Seeker}}. |
35 | * {{The Determinator}}: If you happen to be an ordinary useful person on the side Which-Is-Not-Evan's, you may as well give up. No really. Give up. |
36 | * {{Died In Your Arms Tonight}} |
37 | * {{Even The Guys Want Him}}: Selwin. This has been confirmed by ... others. |
38 | * {{Fire Forged Friends}}: Evan + Selwin is the most obvious example, but there are others, including Rhys, Dafydd, Gwilym, and Malcolm. (By the bye, I love my [[LandofMyFathersandTheirSheep Welsh names]].) |
39 | * {{Glory Hound}}: The {{Big Bad}}, who is also somewhat of a [[TheCharmer Charmer]] until you get to know him. |
40 | * {{Hair of Gold}}: Oh, Selwin. |
41 | * {{Heart Broken Badass}} |
42 | * {{Heroic BSOD}}: Evan experiences a particularly debilitating example. |
43 | * {{Heroic Sacrifice}} |
44 | * {{Heterosexual Life Partners}}: Evan and Selwin. If you try to slash them, I will be very very angry with you. But I've rather resigned myself to it happening, all the same. |
45 | * {{In Harms Way}} |
46 | * {{Iron Woobie}}: Both Evan and Glynnis, though Evan may be more of the [[StoicWoobie stoic variety]]. |
47 | * {{I Want My Beloved To Be Happy}}: One of four reasons for the main {{Heroic Sacrifice}}. |
48 | * {{Long Lost Relative}} |
49 | * {{Love Hurts}}: Good ''Lord''. |
50 | * {{Sensitive Guy and Manly Man}}: Selwin and Evan, though Evan isn't above having horrible nightmares and Selwin has drawn blood on occasion. |
51 | * {{Sins Of Our Fathers}} |
52 | * {{Suicide Mission}} |
53 | * {{Tall Dark and Snarky}}: Evan and Lord Iorweth. |
54 | * {{Tear Jerker}}: This has also been confirmed by plenty of people other than myself. |
55 | * {{True Art Is Angsty}} |
56 | * {{Unlucky Childhood Friend}}: He did choose to be unlucky, but hey. |
57 | * {{Villain with Good Publicity}} |
