I'm Cait, an English major/French minor with legal aspirations. I like a variety of things, [=TVtropes=] is a site ran by people who also like a lot of things, ergo, I spend quite a bit of time on here.

Besides reading and editing this wiki, my other hobbies include reading, writing, gaming, cooking, and [[SelfDeprecation really making fun of myself relentlessly]].

I [[SelfDeprecation really like making fun of myself]]. Just putting that out there.

I am, in my own words, a very geeky and slightly asocial, if hopefully nice enough young woman, currently majoring in English Literature and minoring in French. I like a variety of things, [=TVtropes=] is a site ran by people who also like a lot of things, ergo, I spend quite a bit of time on here.

I also [[SelfDeprecation kind of like making fun of myself]]. Just putting that out there.

!! This Troper Provides Examples Of...

* AmbiguouslyGay: I sometimes come off as this. My blatant YuriFangirl tendencies ''do not help''.
* TheAntiNihilist: Because atheism doesn't have to mean a bleak outlook on life.
* ApologizesALot: I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll ever cure this habit.
* {{Asexuality}}
* AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: Damn you, {{TVtropes}}, you really don't make this any easier. Also, I kind of have college to deal with, and that's more important than anything else.
* AuthorAppeal: [[GirlsLove Take a wild guess]].
* AuthorVocabularyCalendar
* BewareTheNiceOnes: I am usually mild-mannered and non-confrontational, if only because I dislike losing my temper at people. When I do actually snap on someone, it's always because I've been pushed way too hard for far too long.
* {{Bifauxnen}}
* BigEater <----> ForgetsToEat: I ping-pong between the two, depending on my mood. Sometimes, I'm the former ''because'' of the latter.
* BoyishShortHair
* BrilliantButLazy: ''[[{{Dismotivation}} Very]]'' lazy, unfortunately.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: There's a reason other people call me a "space cadet". I also have a propensity for [[WikiWalk rambling conversations that go all over the damn place]], as numerous people in real life (and on IRC) could attest to.
* {{Dandere}}: Justified: I have social anxiety problems, so I'll be more withdrawn and avoidant with people (on a social level) until I'm absolutely sure they won't reject me, then I start showing my more talkative and playful side.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Inverted. I'm actually quite good at it, even if I make some strange ingredient choices.
* GratuitousFrench: De temps en temps. I'm a French minor: c'est un bon raison, non?
* NightmareFetishist
* NotAMorningPerson: I might get up at about 7:30 every morning, but I am never "up" until about 11:00 or so. I tend to pull all-nighters, so I'm not helping my own cause at all.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Some people assume that I'm sixteen or so when I'm actually in my early twenties. I predict that I will probably be carded until I'm about forty.
* [[PinkGirlBlueBoy Pink]] [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl Girly Girl]], [[PinkGirlBlueBoy Blue]] [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl Tomboy]]: My little sister and I, with respect to our favorite colors (and occasionally, wardrobes).
* RealWomenDontWearDresses: Averted,attitude-wise. I might not want to dress or act femininely, but I refuse to believe that makes me "better" than the women who do want to do these things. Really, ''I hate this trope'' - If you believe that being girly or wanting to doll up makes someone (real or fictional) weaker, we're not going to be friends.
** Unfortunately, I ''did'' have this attitude when I was younger, until about high school. No wonder I hate hearing it so much now.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: To paraphrase a friend, you can tell I'm an English major because of my predilection for verbosity in both my speech and my writing.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: I like to ''pretend'' it does, anyway.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Officially, it's "Allyson", but a lot of people write it as "Allison"/"Alison" (and sometimes, "Alycen" or "Alicen"(!)). I'm fairly forgiving about this mistake in real life but significantly less so online.
* SpotOfTea: I think I might be addicted to the stuff, judging by how many boxes of it I go through every semester.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: ''Eggplant''. I've made fun of and exaggerated my taste for it to CargoShip levels.
* YuriFangirl
----

* BewareTheNiceOnes: I am usually very polite, mild-mannered, and non-confrontational; I have admitted that I hate getting angry at people. When I do actually snap on someone, it's always because I've been pushed way too hard for far too long.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Eggplant, tofu, crabmeat... oh, and anything with garlic.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: I am usually very polite, mild-mannered, and non-confrontational and have admitted that I hate getting angry at people. When I do snap on someone, it's always because I've been pushed way too hard for far too long.

* BrainyBrunette: Albeit one who suffers from {{Dismotivation}}.

* {{Dandere}}: Justified, though: I have social anxiety problems, so I'll be more withdrawn and avoidant with people (on a social level) until I'm absolutely sure they won't reject me, then I start showing my more talkative and playful side.

* FeminineWomenCanCook: Inverted, really. I'm quite good at it, even if I make some strange ingredient choices.
* ForgetsToEat: And then [[BigEater I kind of remember]].

* NotAMorningPerson: I might get up at about 7:30 every morning, but I am never "up" until about 11:00 or so.

* AmbiguouslyGay: I sometimes come off as this, and my blatant YuriFangirl tendencies ''do not help''.

* AuthorAppeal: [[GirlsLove Take a]] [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship wild guess]].

* BewareTheNiceOnes: I am usually very polite, mild-mannered, and non-confrontational. ''Usually''.

* {{Dandere}}: Justified, though: I have social anxiety problems, so I'll be more withdrawn and avoidant with people (on a social level) until I'm absolutely sure they won't reject me-- then I start showing my more talkative and playful side.

* RealWomenDontWearDresses: Averted,attitude-wise. I might not want to dress or act femininely, but I refuse to believe that makes me "better" than the women who do want to do these things. Really, ''I hate this trope''-- If you believe that being girly or wanting to doll up makes someone (real or fictional) weaker, we're not going to be friends.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Eggplant, though tofu, imitation crabmeat, and veggieburgers are also contenders. Turnips are also making it onto the list.

* AmbiguouslyGay: I sometimes come off as this, and my blatant YuriFangirl tendencies ''do not help''. In reality, I'm an (admittedly perverted) aromantic {{asexual}}.

* FeminineWomenCanCook: Inverted, really. And then maybe played straight a bit when you realize that my girlier little sister tends to make fewer ridiculous errors than I do, despite cooking far less often.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Officially, it's "Allyson", but a lot of people write it as "Allison"/"Alison" (and sometimes, "Alycen" or "Alicen"(!)). I've given up on correcting them at this point; it's pronounced the same way after all.

* FeminineWomenCanCook: Inverted, really. And then maybe played straight when you realize that my girlier little sister, who cooks less frequently than I do, tends to make fewer ridiculous errors than me.

* GratuitousFrench: De temps en temps. I'm a French minor; c'est un bon raison, non?

* NotAMorningPerson: I might get up at about 7:30 every morning, but I am never "up" until about 12:00 or so.

* RealWomenDontWearDresses: Averted, viewpoint-wise. I might not like dressing or acting femininely, but I refuse to believe that makes me "better" than women who do want to do these things. If you believe that femininity makes someone (real or fictional) weaker, we're not going to be friends.

* TheAntiNihilist

* PrecisionFStrike or ClusterFBomb: They're both in my verbal arsenal, the former more in most online settings, where I (usually) go to pains not to swear, the latter more in casual situations in real life.

* AmbiguouslyGay: I sometimes come off as this, and my blatant YuriFangirl tendencies ''do not help''. In reality, I'm an (rather perverted) aromantic {{asexual}}.

I am, in my own words, a very geeky and slightly asocial, if hopefully nice enough young woman, currently majoring in English Literature and minoring in French. I like a variety of things, TVtropes is a site ran by people who also like a lot of things, ergo, I spend quite a bit of time on here.

I am, in my own words, a very geeky and slightly asocial -- if hopefully nice enough -- young woman, currently majoring in English Literature and minoring in French. I am an avid reader, play way too many {{JRPG}}s for my own good, and am quite fond of both tokusatsu (especially ''SuperSentai'' and its American derivative, ''PowerRangers'') and magical girl shows, particularly ''PrettyCure'' in all its continuities. I (attempt to) write fanfic, although this is admittedly more out of a desire to improve myself than to create anything amazing.

* AmbiguouslyGay: I sometimes come off as this, and my blatant YuriFangirl tendencies ''do not help''. In reality, I'm an (admittedly perverted) aromantic {{asexual}}.
* TheAntiNihilist: This about sums my worldview up. Yes, I'm an atheist, yes, I believe that life is unfair and ultimately without meaning... but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to enjoy it to the fullest and be kind to our fellow person while we're still here.

* BerserkButton: I have a few, although with my personality, they're more "Seethe Quietly" Buttons. Censoring/banning literature seems to be my top one, but numerous forms of bigotry also grind my gears. And despite my aforementioned lack of religion, I ''really'' don't think mocking people just for being religious is endearing or witty -- I have personal reasons for that.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: I purposefully go for this look, primarily for comfort reasons -- I keep my hair short, tend to favor more masculine/unisex attire, shying away from skirts or anything that shows off my body too much, and do bind once in a while. I'm actually pretty flattered when people assume I'm a boy, for some reason.

* {{Dandere}}: I've tried to be {{Kuudere}}. I failed.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Some people assume that I'm sixteen or so when I'm actually in my early twenties. I predict that I will probably be carded until I am about forty.

* PrecisionFStrike or ClusterFBomb: They're both in my verbal arsenal, the former more in most online settings, where I (usually) go to pains not to swear, the latter more in casual situations in real life -- I am not always that clean-mouthed, especially when I'm put out. One of my former roommates believes that "shit" (or derivatives thereof) is my favorite word, and I think she might be right.

* ShorterMeansSmarter: I like to ''pretend'' it does, anyway.

* TheAntiNihilist: This about sums my worldview up. Yes, I'm an atheist, yes, I'm pretty sure that life is unfair and ultimately without meaning... but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to enjoy it to the fullest and be kind to our fellow person while we're still here.

* AuthorAppeal: Why does my writing inevitably contain [[GirlsLove girls being affectionate with each other]]? Now you know. I also kind of have a thing for suits.

* {{Bifauxnen}}: I keep my hair short and shy away from wearing skirts or any attire that shows off my feminine attributes; apparently, this makes me one of these, per others' comments. I'm really not miffed if people want to assume I'm a boy and actually find it kind of amusing. That hardly happens these days, though -- actually, much to my annoyance.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Not ''overly'' so, but I have been called a "space cadet" for a reason. There's also my propensity for [[WikiWalk rambling conversations that go all over the damn place]], as numerous people in real life (and on IRC) could attest to.

* GratuitousFrench: Sometimes, usually without thinking. (I'm a French minor, so it isn't as if I'm incapable of actually speaking the language.) It probably sounds right stupid to actual French speakers.
* NotAMorningPerson

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Not ''overly'' so, but I have been called a "space cadet" for a reason.

* WikiWalk: I'm especially prone to these in conversations with friends and probably worse about it on IRC.

* GratuitousFrench: Sometimes. Well, I am minoring in it, so ...

* {{Asexuality}}: I'm an aromantic asexual, to be precise. Despite this, I am not a prude and can even be kind of perverted at times.

* AuthorAppeal: Girls being affectionate with each other, [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship platonic]] or [[GirlsLove not]], although I think this is mostly because I write female-centric stories anyway. Other appeals include androgyny (writing what I know?) and fancy suits. I love suits.
