Hey everyone, I'm LapisScarab (I know, weird name. If you really want to know why I have that name, just ask.)! While I obviously love the Kingdom Hearts series, my intrests are as far apart as you can imagine. As such, you can find me on several other Wikias, like the Bleach, Naruto, Zelda, and Deltora Wikis to name a few. My favorite part of the series is Organization XIII, for their uniqueness and diversity (plus, I've always liked antagonists). Eventually I hope to become a fantasy-fiction author, and I've been working on an original story since the beginning of last year. To my eternal frustration, my keyboard often skips letters when I'm typing quickly. I have my learner's permit and would have my license by now if my parents weren't so lazy/and or busy (depends on which parent you're talking about) and would actually take me out driving. I have 3 siblings: an older sister (by 5 years), a younger sister (a little over 1 year), and a little brother (5 years).

Appearance
I'm very tall, with blue-grey eyes and brown (my parents swear that it's dirty blond, I have no idea why) hair, though I recently shaved it as part of a Cancer Reseach Drive. It's grown back and now. I wore it up for a while (as opposed to the bangs I normally and currently have), which had the disturbing side effect of making me look like Edward Cullen [facepalm]. I'm thin and stronger than I look (especially since I don't look very strong to begin with -.-), and have pale skin. I'm very near-sighted and wear contacts. My typical attire is some sort of T-shirt or long-sleeved shirt (I hate button-down shirts for whatever reason), usually a monochromatic color or a dark shade of other colors. I always wear pants, no matter what season it is. During winter I usually wear a hoodie or a black Nordstrom jacket. I don't wear a huge variety of clothes and don't really like to go shopping for more.

Personality
I'm rather introverted, meaning I will almost never start a conversation and will choose solitude if left to my own devices, but I genuinely enjoy it when people talk to me and usually end up having fun when I go out. I'd like to say that I'm a "go with the flow" type of person, but really it's more like "whatever". I don't often stress about anything because, to me, nothing is ever really big enough to worry over. When I'm surrounded by people I don't know, I'm usually pretty stoic and very quiet. I'm an excellent speaker according to my teachers and parents, but I'm more of a listener personality-wise, and I'm usually polite almost to a fault (for example, I cannot bring myself to interrupt someone speaking, even if it means I have to wait for a long time, or I will hold the door for basically everyone behind me, no matter how long the line is). I try to live by altruism and love helping people. I work very quickly and very hard when I feel like someone is depending on me. I don't always have a great deal of self-confidence, and I always give credit where credit is due. I'm smart and a quick learner, so I have literally never studied for a single test since first grade, but still have B(+)-ish average. Alas, I can no longer claim that record. I have studied for my midterms, and the world has lost one more great slacker! I am admittedly a bit of a slacker when it comes to homework. I'm not especially good at talking to people over the phone, and am in fact terrible at it, so even though I have a cell, I tend to forget it, keep it off, and/or only take it when I need it. I prefer e-mail or, better yet, talking to someone directly. I'm often bored by my surroundings and when I get depressed I tend to revert to a nihilistic way of thinking.

Recently I've gotten more outspoken and realized a few things about myself. I talk. A lot. Way too much in fact. I'm not the type of person who interrupts teachers to talk, but when I'm allowed to I'll talk your ear off and then keep talking until the ear buries itself underground to get away. I joke a lot and when I'm talking about something I "hate" it is virtually always in a joking tone; I never genuinely hate anything. I have a habit of memorizing things that aren't really useful at all, and am something of a local encyclopedia for Greek/Roman mythlology and astronomical trivia. I'm a good teacher and have successfully tutored the girl behind me in math to a 100 on one of our tests (I got a 90 or something, XD computation error). In fact, I intend to be a teacher (probably middle school or high school English) as my main career (my "dream" job is still to be an author, but I needs me some consistent income). I'm still trying to get an after school job.

Oh, and you all may have noticed by now that I completely and utterly suck at sticking to a schedule. Part of this is attributable to insomnia and a horribly out of wack sleeping schedule, and the other part can be chalked up to what very well may be ADD. That and my awareness of time is very poor. My life is very hectic; not usually in a bad way, but in a way that disrupts any attempt for me to plan things. Upside: I'm flexible. Downside: I can be unreliable.

Me and Cursing
People on the wiki may have noticed how I really discourage cursing. In real life, this is actually quite contrary to the way I talk; I curse a lot (usually for emphasis on things, not usually to insult someone). The reason I don't like it here is because this wiki is something between a job and a hobby to me, and thus I prefer to keep a fairly professional attitude. Cursing isn't professional, and it usually cheapens whatever you're trying to say. So yeah, watch the mouth when you talk to me here.

Hobbies
Like I mentioned above, I like to write, draw, and read. I'm a surprisingly good artist considering I've never taken a class, but I only practice drawing so I can draw the characters from my stories. I love doing brain teasers, word puzzles, and jigsaws. I also like to do origami, and I spend about half the time in most of my classes drawing or folding something, since I usually know what's going on already (I know when to pay attention though). I've played several sports in the past, like soccer, baseball, basketball, and tennis, though I only play basketball and tennis now, and even then I only play recreationally. I'm actually quite good at both of them. I am also a big fan of manga and anime, and I occasionally click the "surprise me" option on onemanga.com and read a new manga just for the heck of it. I read a lot of it with a rather critical eye, though I never really find myself disappointed with anything.

Character Appearance Sections
My forte is description, so my main goal is to get up an Appearance section for all of the characters that don't have them, as per the new character page improvement project. NinjaSheik got me started on this with Aqua, Ven, Terra, and Organization XIII, so I decided to roll with it.

Weapon Design Sections
I was given a side-project a while back by Xion4ever, which has now become my main project; to do the appearance sections for all of the series' weapons. I will not have a "to be done soon" list, since I just sort of pick which ones I do at random. Here is (what I hope is) a complete list (if I'm missing any, please let me know on my talk page):
