She is not keen to have someone prying into her life, nor is she the type to be particularly open about her personal affairs unless she is very close to someone. Even then, however, she is a tough shell to crack. Maria prefers to listen to the problems of others, but she is not the queen of empathy, and her attempts at comfort often come off as aloof as opposed to warm and fuzzy. It's not that she doesn't care, it's just that she doesn't know how to handle overwhelming emotion. That isn't to say that Maria is unfriendly, though. She enjoys a good laugh from time to time, and she has a sense of adventure. She's very passionate about whatever she does, and she needs people to share this enthusiasm with. Chances are her friends would be fellow university students, but other people that live around her are fair game as well. She probably won't have many extremely close friends, but at least one or two. The rest would probably be acquaintances. • wanted, wanted, wanted, wanted, wanted [/style]

Her more quiet, serious nature can be a turn-off to some people. Her sharp tongue also doesn't help matters. If she is annoyed by someone, chances are she'll tell them flat out, her polite patience only lasting to a point. That said, chances are Maria may not consider them enemies, but they could very well consider her such. As far as she knows, she hasn't done anything to really bother anyone other than do her work and be sometimes (perhaps blatantly) honest. Once again, all are fair game. It would be interesting and fun to plot out particular events that would've lead to this enemy-ship. Possible frienemies? I want to know! • wanted, wanted, wanted, wanted, wanted[/style]

If you connect with her on a deep level and support her passions, you are on the right track. She needs someone who can be as honest with her as she is with others, even if it is criticism she doesn't want to hear. Maria doesn't really need a nurturer or protector, but more so an equal partner. With these types of relationships, I like the crumbs to fall where they may. Plotting everything out gets rid of the mystique and excitement that comes with romantic relationships. Therefore, if you are interested, just thread with Maria and see how the characters truly interact! Maria could also have had past relationships, as she has been here for over a year now studying. If you're interested in that, I'd like to plot out the back story. • wanted, wanted, wanted, wanted, wanted[/style]

She is a type of character who, while she feels open-minded, has really closed herself in socially. She needs people on both sides -- those who appreciate her more private nature and those who will want to try and coax her out of her shell. If someone doesn't appreciate or is skeptical of her interest in the supernatural, that would also be an interesting exchange! If you have any ideas, please, please, PLEASE post them up. Or PM me if you'd be more comfortable discussing privately.[/style]

I'd probably say these two would be more acquaintances. I could see them maybe as friends if they ever really got to know each other, possibly even Matt taking on the role of sort of a protective big sis type figure, but not sure if they'd ever get to that point...

UHM SO I THINK THEY COULD BE BFFS >>. Autumn is also a university student and has troubles dealing with emotions, especially other people's. I think they would get along really well.

[REAGAN TAYLOR]

REAGAN & MARIA ;; RESPECT, FRIENDSHIP/CONVERSATIONALISTS

Reagan would see a lot of her personality traits in Maria since they're both Scorpio, but that would also annoy her because she likes believing that she's different x). But even though Maria would annoy her in that regard, Reagan would definitely respect her and not look down upon her. Besides occasional snapping from Reagan's side at frustration and annoyance, I think these two could be good friends. They'd probably have some good conversations too since they think alike. Reagan might tease her about being nice to everyone though, especially when she exercises the dark side of Scorpio all the time XD. But I imagine the two would never have to be fake with each other, and it'd be a nice (albeit dynamic) friendship!

You don't have to worry about Reagan being attracted to Maria either; she senses that Maria is a strong independent woman and that's not her type XD. Tell me if you have any other ideas about the friendship; I'm open to anything ^^

[MATILDA MONTEFUSCO]

Matt only arrived in town recently so she doesn't really know anyone/would be known by anyone much yet. We'll definitely have to get a thread going with them and see where things lead!

REAGAN & MARIA

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking about annoyances and how they would interact with each other! And the mutual respect thing is perfect. As soon as I read Maria's profile I was like...must...play...out...friendship XDD.

I dunno if you want them to be close friends? I feel like they could kinda understand each other and I know their interactions would be really fun to play out. Especially, like you said, the contrast between the extremes of control and anger.
Of course I don't think they would ever admit that they were close friends (at least Reagan wouldn't), but I feel like their friendship would be real and they could find comfort in each other knowing that they're so similar XD

But yes, we should thread soon! :D

they should know each other because I hate meeting threads. >>

[MATILDA MONTEFUSCO]

Oh, take your time. I'll have a busy few days coming up so there's no rush!

[MARIA KIHARA]

@reagan -- Awesomesauce! I'll try to get up a thread for you ASAP (this is midterms week so blah), but I'll send you a PM with the link whenever I get one up. <3

@autumn -- Agreed! I'll say they could have known each other for awhile, and then we can really determine their relationship from there. If you want, I can start a thread soon and send you the link to it once it's ready. ^.^

@matilda -- Thanks! I'll still try and get a thread up. Really need to actually roleplay. XD

Oh take your time!! I'm in college too so I totally understand XD. Thank you so much for starting the thread though when you do <3
