godreamAfter yesterday's entry, I figured it might be a good idea to go through who exactly my siblings are, since my Imaginary Readers will likely be seeing a lot of them. Ages are on the day this entry's dated and are (duh) subject to change. :P From oldest to youngest, and with entirely fictional Final Fantasy inspired aliases, we have:
[Edited 6-13-04: This journal interfaces a lot more with Real Life these days, and I've grown up a bit, so the aliases aren't really used anymore. But in case anyone wants to read the descriptions anyways, I've put real names down at the end so this still makes some vague sort of sense with respect to the more current entries -- though I haven't altered blurbs so they're still really with respect to two years ago, and there's no time when people change faster than where we all are now, so caveat emptor or whatever. :P]
Rinoa: Four months older than I am, Rinoa is part of my family at my father and stepmother's house. Like her namesake for the purposes of this diary, she's brunette, popular, and cheerful. She's also athletic, sixteen years old at the moment with a birthday coming in October, and funny. [Jordan]
Squall: This isn't an entirely accurate name for my only older stepsibling at my mom/stepfather's house. Sure, half the time or more he's introverted and sometimes downright sullen. The other half, though, he's generous, helpful, and his quirky sense of humor never fails to crack me up. If Square ever made a character this schizophrenic, the reviews would shoot them down for being unrealistic and inconsistent. He'll be seventeen come November. [Derek]
Lulu: She's named for her love of dark clothing and for her relationship with Rikku. Lulu is extremely fashion-conscious and is the family hairdresser of the mom's house crew for fancy occasions. She's also very social and very cool, and possibly my opposite in even more ways than those. She is, though, near my age: seven months younger. [Denise]
Seifer: *sigh* Fourteen and... difficult, he's the one I get along with least. Like his namesake, he seems to enjoy mocking people. Squall is best able of all of us to deal with him (by ignoring him, like their namesakes), partially because Seifer seems to admire him and picks on him less, but even Squall has occasionally lost control and snapped. Seifer is quite athletic. On very rare and very random occasions, he is for a few minutes a really nice person. [Tyler]
Selphie: How did I forget her? Loud and hyper, the real life Selphie sometimes has a meaner side than FFVIII's character, but she's far easier to deal with than Seifer. She's a socialite and a bit of an abercrombie girl, if you know what I mean. (I'm not sure I do, but oh well.) Laughs a lot, yells a lot, hangs out with friends a lot. Thirteen, dad's house, eighth grade. [Jessica]
Zidane: I'm not sure this is a perfect name for him... but I couldn't think of anything better. Zidane is generally a nice guy, and for some reason tends to recieve more calls from girls at his school than the rest of the males at the house combined. (Thus the name.) He's thirteen, lives at my mom/stepdad's house, and is an artist, generally of tough guys to be potential Dungeons & Dragons characters. [Dan]
Rikku: Eleven, hyper, blonde, and cute. Longest eyelashes I've ever seen. She's my full-sibling, and when we're at our mom's house, inseparable from Lulu. FFX players will remember (***minor spoiler***) the scene where Rikku asks Tidus if he thinks she could grow up and be just like Lulu -- that's one of the main thoughts that went into their names here. They'll also recall Rikku's breakdown in the Thunder Plains, and that's my Rikku as well: when she's cheerful (most of the time) she's very very cheerful; when she's upset she's sobbing and clinging and... well. Yeah. But that's not too often; she's usually really sweet. [Roxanne]
Eiko: She's eight, lives at my mom/stepdad's house. Like her namesake, she's always searching for attention, and usually in vain. She's most often reproached by Lulu for intruding and general annoyance. Eiko is easily upset and a little spoiled. Cute, though. [Nika]
Cid: At nearly a year old, he hasn't really had a chance to develop enough of a personality to develop a similarity so I can name him after a specific character. So for now, we'll call the cutest baby in the world Cid and you can think of it as representing his possibility of growing into any of the various characters by this name in Final Fantasies. (I would hope, though, for my dad and stepmom's sake, that he doesn't end up like VII's Cid. O_o) He seems to be turning out to be a Tidus -- blonde, cute, and happy. But, well, we'll see. :) [Noah]
