!As of July 2014 or so, this account is no longer used by me. I have moved on to a new handle.

-->--''Henry Ward Beecher''

''[[Main/{{GermanLanguage}} Guten Tag, freundlich Tropers!]]'' I am an aspiring, semi-realistic {{Anime}}/{{Manga}} artist from the [[TheOtherRainforest US]] who ''might'' be a [[{{Understatement}} little]] [[Main/{{SlashFic}} slash-crazed]]. Writing is my occasional hobby (at least when I [[Main/{{WritersBlock}} get in the mood to do it]]), along with photography and [[UsefulNotes/{{Roleplaying}} RPing]] (especially for interesting ScienceFantasy plots). I also seem to enjoy making up [[{{OriginalCharacter}} original characters]], especially ones that, at least for my favorite female ones, tend to have [[{{BlueEyes}} blue]] or [[{{GreyEyes}} grey eyes]] and/or the HimeCut 75% of the time. ([[{{ThereAreNoCoincidences}} Probably just a huge coincidence, though]].)

And... maybe you'll see more info here in the future.

''Auf Wiedersehen!''

- Naomi Hansen

!!General Info
[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: Tropes associated with me]]
* AloneInACrowd: More like alone in a fandom, but real life often counts too. I always feel like I'll inevitably end up saying or doing something that accidentally pisses off the majority of the fans or I just get ignored by them.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Story of my life, basically.
* ArtifactTitle: Naomi Hansen, outside of TV Tropes (and sites which will not be named here), is not a name normally used by me anymore since around November 2012. I commonly go by either "The Self-Deprecator" or "Noir" now.
* AuthorAppeal: Anyone that's seen me in the RP scene enough have probably noticed that I love to play characters that (mostly) identify as female, are mixed race[[note]]almost always with some east/southeast Asian descent[[/note]], and are somewhere under the LGBTQIA banner[[note]][[SingleTargetSexuality Demisexuality]] and [[BiTheWay bisexuality]] ''do'' tend to hold my favor, though[[/note]].
* BerserkButton: I'm usually a calm person. But I have my triggers. Examples:
** Meeting me in real life and ''not'' pronouncing my name as NAH-oh-me. [[SeriousBusiness Seriously]]. I'll be nice about it on the first try, but if don't learn by the [[UpToEleven eleventh time]], we'll have problems.
*** Also, my real name. (Although if you somehow know it, I'd probably get too terrified of you to really get angry.)
** Being around children under the age of 7. I can't exactly have an intelligent conversation with them, can I?
** Just flat-out flirting with me. It really makes me uncomfortable, especially since the guys that do/did that with me were always the insanely creepy [[CasanovaWannabe Cassanova Wannabes]].
* BigOlEyebrows: …Well, they could be worse, but I ''do'' have to repeatedly pluck them just to make sure I don't get a unibrow.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: I... ''might'' be this on occasion.
* {{Dandere}}: In some cases, I'm quiet simply because I'm just being a bit shy.
* DarkIsNotEvil: A philosophy I tend to love seeing in anything I read.
* DeadpanSnarker: Or at least I try to be.
* DontLikeDontRead: Another major mindset of mine. Seriously, why can't you [[spoiler:(trolls)]] understand that simple bit of logic? [[spoiler: Oh, wait…]]
* DoYouThinkICantFeel: Newsflash--I ''do'' have emotions.
* EatingLunchAlone: I'm pretty sure I'm lacking in some social skills if I still feel really alone, even when I'm with supposed friends in real life.
* FanGirl: Usually averted, but I ''do'' have my occasional moments of obsession, although in those instances, I still try to keep as much of a level head as possible.
* FollowTheLeader: But only if I think you're competent. If not, I'll just go off into my own little world and do my own thing.
** I ''did'', however, have an interesting case of being the leader myself when I was the one that started posting for the {{Wizard101}} fandom on [[FanfictionDotNet Fanfiction.Net]]. I was the first one there that created a (crappy) fanfic for it, and I'm pretty sure that I'm one of the reasons that the people on there focus so much on more complex/darker storylines. (Just let me have that little bit of pride, okay?) :3
* GenreSavvy: One of my major goals to achieve in life.
* HetIsEw: Being a [[{{Slash}} slash fan]] since I was 14, I seem to, in general, get a little bored with the idea of having het ships.[[note]]Exceptions to this "rule" mostly include Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia, Series/WhiteCollar, and--so far--anything made by [[Creator/QuentinTarantino Tarantino]].[[/note]]
* HotChickWithASword: …Okay, maybe [[PlainJane not the "hot" part]], but I've got four swords stashed in my room, three of them being real.
* OldShame: It seems like ''HarryPotter'' (or sometimes {{Naruto}}) is the stereotypical starting point for the majority of fanfiction writers, and I'm no exception. Although my first fic was at least a little better than the ones out on the first website I ever joined, it… Well, I just hope nobody finds it.
* TheOtherRainforest: I've lived the majority of my life in Oregon. Yes, it ''does'' rain that much here.
* TheQuietOne
* RapunzelHair: About hip length. Had it all my life.
* RidiculousProcrastinator: [nervous chuckle] I'm getting better. [[BlatantLies Sort of]]…
* SarcasmMode: Yeah, like I'm ''not'' a fan of this.
* SelfDeprecation: Kind of [[PlayedForLaughs played for laughs]] half the time. Sort of.
** It's now becoming a bit of a nickname for myself - the Self-Deprecator.
* SophisticatedAsHell: At least I ''try'' to be adroit on occasion, unlike the immature brats I have to deal with in school (who fail miserably at trying to be "humorous" towards anybody) and in my (extended) family.
* SpeechImpediment: I spent the majority of my elementary school years in speech therapy in order to fix my pronunciation skills with "th" sounds. Unfortunately, that was ''all'' they focused on, since I still suffer from occasional stuttering, and I have a tendency to mix up my words when I'm talking. (You have no idea how many times I've accidentally called my dad "Mom" and vice versa over the years.) Of course, these problems aren't exactly obvious here on the web - the reason why I love using the internet for communication is because it gives me the chance to actually ''think through'' what I want to say and enable me to edit my posts, which allows me to sound (somewhat) more eloquent that I would in RealLife.
* TheStoic: People in [[{{RealLife}} real life]] tend to categorize me as such.
** StoicWoobie, on the other hand… Yeah, I can relate.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]] like you wouldn't believe. So don't bore me or otherwise make me despise you right off the bat, okay? :3
* TeasingCreator[=/=]TrollingCreator: I'm a troll to my viewers-! [bricked]
** What? [[ItAmusedMe It amuses me]]. [dodges another brick]
* TooDumbToLive: I'm an idiot most of the time, and I don't exactly see myself living to be 20.
* UnableToCry: I feel that I've become inured to depressing topics. Probably the closest thing to getting me to cry in a long time was reading the ''{{Sherlock}}'' fanfic, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6914974/1/Alone_On_the_Water Alone On the Water]]''.
** Finally averted after watching the end of [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater MGS3]]--my eyes were pretty blurry by the time the credits rolled.
* WaistcoatOfStyle: I've been loving them since 2010. (I blame you for this, [[{{JosephGordon-Levitt}} JGL]]--not that I'm really complaining, though.)
* YouAreNotAlone: Oh my god, I don't give a fuck that I'm sounding like the whiny bitch I really am, just somebody ''please'' [[TheWoobie give me a hu--!]] [bricked again]
