Part 1: The Basics
1. What is your full name? Florence Jenavive Gibbon.
2. Where and when were you born? I was born on April 1st, 1960 in Manchester.
3. Who are/were your parents? My father is Francis Gibbon and my mother is Jenavive Gibbon.
4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like? I'm the youngest of three. Tobias, is the oldest and can be a bit of a pain. He's over-protective. Estella, who's the middle child is almost like my best friend. I tell her absolutely everything.
5. Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people. In a flat in London that I had before I moved to Rome that I was smart enough to keep and keep up on (revolving around rent.) I currently live alone and I think I kind of like the solitude. After being with someone for so long it feels nice. It's as modern as I can make it. Random paintings/murals hang around and everything is art deco. Blues and blacks are everywhere and I have a beautiful cherry four poster bed.
6. What is your occupation? I'm a hair stylist and I fiddle around with arrangements of flowers on the side. I like to think I'm pretty good at both.
7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks. I'm about 5'4" with light brown hair and icy blue-green eyes. I'm caucasian and I generally wear black slacks with a silk blouse. When I'm around the house it's a t-shirt and sweats. I'm always wearing make-up. I don't have any tattoos. I have a small scar on my left ankle from shaving.
8. To which social class do you belong? My family is upper middle-class but I think I'm classified as lower middle-class. I don't really care as long as I'm content with my life why should I?
9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses? I'm allergic to cherries. My weakness is probably crying men. It's not really physical but it's a horrible thing.
10. Are you right- or left-handed? I'm left-handed to the extent where it's hard to function otherwise.
11. What does your voice sound like? My voice? I don't know, feminine? I don't really listen to myself talk.
12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently? Probably, oh my God and what the hell? I can't really think of anything else that pops into my head.
13. What do you have in your pockets? My wand, a pair of scissors in my breast pocket and a piece of chocolate.
14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? Probably the fact that I can sing any song that comes on the radio. Muggle or not. It can be annoying. A quirk that I have? I don't like going out of the house not dressed up. Most of my money goes to my clothing and make up.
Part 2: Growing Up
15. How would you describe your childhood in general? Sometimes I miss the simplicity of it. Playing in the backyard with Smeth and eating dinner every night. I was always jealous that Susie and Tobias were so much older than I was. In general though? It was a good childhood.
16. What is your earliest memory? I have a horrible memory but the thing that sticks out in my mind is when I first realized I had a crush on someone. We were playing outside the backyard in the sandbox and it just kind of hit me.
17. How much schooling have you had? I'm finished with Hogwarts and I finished my beautician license shortly after I left Hogwarts. It wasn't that hard -- I don't really have any intention of getting anything else.
18. Did you enjoy school? To a point I enjoyed Hogwarts. It was tough, some of the stuff I just struggled with. I'm horrible at Transfiguration. I don't use it on a day to day basis anyway. I absolutely loved Beautician's School. It was like I had finally found something that I was meant for -- my life's calling.
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities? Hogwarts and Beautician's school. I'm still learning my "street smarts". I'm only nineteen, I have a long way to go.
20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them. Estella. I wanted to be exactly like her. She was so cool to me. She embodied everything I wanted to be. Cool, smart and honest. I still look to her as a role model.
21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family? In my earlier years, swimmingly. As I started dating I began to hate Tobias. He scared almost all the boys away, except for the ones that counted.
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I was honestly, never totally sure. At one point I thought I wanted to be a healer but the work was too hard. I didn't realize that I was meant to be a hair-stylist until I started doing hairdos for other girls in my year.
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities? Playing house, running around the backyard looking like a fool with Smeth and our other playmates. I liked flying as long as Quidditch wasn't involved. I'd prefer to fly somewhere if I'm given the choice.
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display? Loyal. I used to take the blame for some of the things Stell did that would've gotten her in trouble. I was always outspoken and didn't have a problem with telling someone else that I didn't like them. It still gets me in trouble.
25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like? The only one I can remember right now off the top of my head is Smeth. I don't know if I was popular. It's not something I ever worried about, just having fun was my main priority.
26. When and with whom was your first kiss? Sirius Black. That was an interesting first kiss, let me tell you. Getting caught was something that was even more interesting on top of that.
27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity? I lost my virginity in my sixth year when Smeth and I dated for about six months. A late bloomer, I suppose, compared to others.
28. If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
Part 3: Past Influences
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far? Realizing how much of a moron I was after Ron Johnny dumped me. It was a serious wake up call to how naive I was being about the entire relationship. I realized that I was still in love with Smeth. I realized that London was my home and always would be.
30. Who has had the most influence on you? Influence? I don't know probably my life experiences and Stell. I want to make my own mistakes and not let someone else tell me what's right and wrong.
31. What do you consider your greatest achievement? Getting home from Rome with very little money.
32. What is your greatest regret? Leaving for Rome the way I did. Leaving for Rome period. Having little contact with my family and friends during that year period. Not talking to Marlene enough.
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done? The goodbye note I left for Smeth while he was working.
34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind? Nope...wait. Yeah, I got arrested in Rome for being rowdy one night at a party Johnny was having.
35. When was the time you were the most frightened? When I was on the steps at the Vatican trying to figure out my life and how in the hell I was going to get home. I spoke very little Italian and it was broken. I had about 3 Lira in my pocket and no Galleons. I was absolutely screwed.
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you? When whoever the hell walked in on Sirius and I and caught us kissing. My first kiss and someone caught me! That's what I get for making out with someone in a broom closet.
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why? Do I really have to get into this? I really don't want to. If you're reading this you can probably figure it out.
38. What is your best memory? Getting on the Hogwarts train for the first time. I was so scared and so excited. All I can remember thinking is that i didn't want to be in Slytherin. I didn't like Tobias' friends and I still don't.
39. What is your worst memory? Falling off a broom when we were being taught how to fly that first year. I knew how to fly and I was just nervous and klutzy. The entire class laughed at me and I ended up running off and out of the class.
Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic? I like to think I'm neutral but in all reality I'm generally pessimistic. I think of the worst possible outcome and then expect it.
41. What is your greatest fear? Living the rest of my life alone. Not being able to grow old with someone and watch my children have children and hopefully my children's children have children.
42. What are your religious views? I believe in God but I don't attend any type of religous sect's mass/sermon or whatever. God knows who I am and knows what I do. Why should I have to worship him at an altar to tell him so?
43. What are your political views? I hate killing. I hate anything that has the word "You-Know-Who" in it.
44. What are your views on sex? Enjoyable but should be enjoyed with someone you care about. Meaningless sex leaves you empty and wanting more.
45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable? No, I'd never be able to kill. Under no circumstances is killing an answer. There are worse ways of seeing someone shrivel and decay than killing them. Take Azkaban for example. Even thinking of that place gives me the shivers.
46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do? Kill someone because of their opinons, beliefs, blood line, etc.
47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love? Absolutely. There's one person who's your soul mate. That doesn't mean you can't find love but it won't ever be the same.
48. What do you believe makes a successful life? Being happy and being loved. Money isn't important.
49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)? I hide myself from no one. If I did I'd feel empty. if I hide myself how will someone get to know who I am? I don't change myself for anyone. If they don't like me then it's not the end of the world.
50. Do you have any biases or prejudices? I suppose I have a prejudice against You-Know-Who and the evilness that surronds him and his followers.
51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it? Two things actually. I absolutely refuse to give anyone a mullet as a haircut. It's the most disgusting haircut known to man and no man or woman should be allowed to wear that atrocious hairstyle. Two, anal sex. Exit only. 'Nuff said.
52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)? My loved ones. I won't exclude this to my family because there are certain people outside of my family that I would die for or go to an extreme for.
Part 5: Relationships With Others 53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how? I like to think I treat all human beings the same. I don't base judgement on blood like some do but if I don't like you I'm generally pretty rude to you. Hell, sometimes I'm rude to you if I do know you. I'm polite to my elders because they're my elders and deserve my respect but otherwise I'm just me. 54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why? Hard to say. There are a lot of important people for several different reasons. 55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why? Estella. She tries so hard not to judge and loves you no matter what you do. She's raising Jacob on her own and is slowly getting her life together. She holds my highest respect. 56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people. Um, that'd take way too long. I'm not doing this. I don't want to. You can't make me, ha. 57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person. At the moment? No one techinally, though I have someone in mind. He's the sweetest person I've ever known. Why was I stupid enough to hurt him?58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened. I've been in love since I was like six. So it's kind of hard to explain. I don't really remember the reaction it's just always kind of been there crawling. 59. What do you look for in a potential lover? Kindness, a sense of humor, the ability to accept me for who I am. 60. How close are you to your family? Stell and I are close. Tobias I'm semi-close with. I really don't talk to my parents anymore and they don't talk to me. So it's about 50/50. 61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not? No and I'd like to but I know I have some time to do that. I'm only nineteen I have my entire life in front of me. Hopefully.62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help? Stell or Smeth but even when that happened I was too stubborn to. 63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? Tobias because he always has. 64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you? Hopefully my friends from school but the people I know for a fact would be Stell, Jacob, Tobias hopefully, Caleigh and I think that's about it. 65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why? You-Know-Who, for obvious reasons. 66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? I argue and then I talk it out. I don't stay angry long but I won't avoid the confrontation. I rather talk out my feelings that let it sit and fester. 67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? Not really. Never have, never will. Not my cuppa. 68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? I'd rather be an intimate conversation with someone, getting to know them better. In big groups things tend to get overlooked and you don't a real taste for the people you're with. 69. Do you care what others think of you? Only the people I care about. Otherwise everyone can go suck a toe. Part 6: Likes And Dislikes
