Book 1: Starting Out

Introduction " The mind is everything. What you think you become" -Buddha

Your complete anime persona takes account of your unique personality and appearance, and develops and accentuates those traits which have a natural place in an anime life. Your individual characteristics, aside from being developed in alignment with your "ideal" anime life, are also contrasted with a group of friends, each also committed to developing an anime lifestyle and persona. Together, individual similarities and differences help create a dynamic and fun group environment. And since no anime lifestyle is complete without some exciting plot-line, the group is put into action going on adventures, working on projects, and achieving goals together. In chapter 1 , you will take an extensive quiz to help you determine what anime personality traits you have. This will help you find your niche among the friends who will take the anime dream to the next level, providing a context for your individual character to be fully realized. In chapter 2 , you will lay the foundation for bringing the anime dream to it's ultimate manifestation by structuring your group around a Group Focus. The Group Focus serves as a kind of plot-line within which talents will be realized and adventures will be had. In chapter 3 , you'll learn how to plan exciting adventures. From fun afternoons to overnight trips adventures of all sorts are discussed in detail, as well as how to make them affordable and safe.

Chapter 4 discusses ways to add anime magic to holidays. In addition to traditional Western holidays that are also celebrated in Japan, common Japanese holidays, celebrated in Japan and in anime, will be discussed. We will review ways to incorporate those holidays in your life through small celebrations with your friends.

Chapter 5 discusses group projects - activities that you and your friends can work on together such as making a group photo book, sewing costumes, and making anime style accessories. External resources and how-tos are also provided.

Starting Out " Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover." –Mark Twain

Aiming to live your life to the fullest in the way of an anime hero or heroine may seem like a daunting task. More than that however, it should be incredibly motivating, fun, and exciting. You are creating your life. You can make it an adventure, but it helps to have guidance. In the first book of this series, we will start you off on your way to creating the anime life of your dreams. First, you will take a host of personality assessments designed to determine what kind of anime hero or heroine you are meant to be. The results should inspire you to develop yourself and your story in accordance with the power and magic you already possess. Next, we will discuss the focus. The focus is where you apply to time and talents as you become the best you can be. The foci discussed will naturally involve adventures and parallels to the anime world. Finally, we will discuss projects, adventures, and holidays that you and your friends can add fun and memories to build deeper friendships and hence, a deeper personal story.

Guidelines: Before you begin your journey through this book series, take note of a few guidelines that you should follow when reading: 1. This book series does not condone or in any way support harmful actions to yourself or others. Taking roleplay to the level of everyday life can be empowering, motivating, and ultimately deeply rewarding. However, roleplay or anime role models should NEVER be used to justify harmful, cruel, or malicious actions towards anyone, including yourself. 2. This book series does not condone or in any way support putting your safety or the safety of others at risk. Going on adventures, having fun with friends, and working hard to accomplish great things should never compromise your safety or the safety of others. Be smart about the projects and adventures you choose and always think things through. 3. Other than rules 1 and 2, there are no rules. All of the suggestions in this book series are just that - suggestions. Remember that it's your life, your anime life, and you ultimately decide how to put it together. Hopefully, the contents of this book series will help you on your journey! 4. This is your book - revisions are welcome! If you have any suggestions for subsequent editions of this book, email [email protected] with your revision request. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Complete Anime Personality Assessment

"Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it." - Bruce Lee

When you and your friends go out together, who is usually compared to the goofball main character with the big appetite? Who shares most in common with the studious academic character? What about the character who is constantly fighting with, or making fun of, the main protagonist, even though both are good friends? Who is the elegant one? Who is the tomboy and who is ultra feminine? Who is the most childish of the group? Who is the biggest flirt? Acknowledging that the possibilities for character types are expansive, in the beginning of this book, we will take you through an in-depth survey to see what character traits match you best, allowing you to carve out your anime personality. By letting friends take the quiz, they will likewise be able to design the character they are best suited to in an anime lifestyle. Short descriptions of each trait and ways of enhancing that trait are suggested. Before beginning the assessments, get a clean sheet of paper to mark the question numbers and your answers.

Assessment 3: Your Element Scoring for assessment 3 is as follows: always = 2 points often = 1 point sometimes = 0 points rarely = -1 point never = -2 points Each element has 39 questions and can receive a maximum score of 78 points. Add your score for questions 1-39. This should be a number between -78 and 78. This is your tree element score. Add your score for questions 40 - 78. This should be a number between -78 and 78.

Since each element is equally weighted in the exam, you can take a ratio of your score for each element over your total score to determine your elemental makeup. That is, To determine your elemental makeup: 1. Add up the total score from all questions. This is your total score. 2. Add up your score for each element. These are your element scores. 3. For each element take your element score, divide it by your total score and multiply by 100. This is your percentage score. 4. For example, if I receive a total score of 200 and an fire element score of 40, that means I'm 40/200 x 100 = 20 % fire element. You can have a negative percentage score. This means you are particularly lacking in that element. You don't need to be strong in every element, but you do want healthy balance. A negative percentage may indicate an unhealthy imbalance of elemental energy.

Anti-Hero - An anti-hero is a person with traits that are the opposite of those associated with a traditional hero, but nevertheless seeks to make the world a better place or do some good. There are several types of anti-hero. On the good end of the spectrum, an anti-hero can be a person usually aligned with good but lacking all of the qualities of a hero. They may work to improve themselves and become a more classic hero, or they maintain their anti-hero traits. Somewhere in the middle of the spectrum of anti-hero types are those who side with good, and

perhaps have positive goals they are working on, but they are generally mean, rude, or cold to others. They definitely have pessimistic and cynical perspectives and may even be humorless. At the evil end of the spectrum, an anti-hero may have some grand goals in mind, but their goals tend to be selfish and morally questionable. They may limit good actions and intentions their close friends and family, or they may not be interested in doing good for others at all. This version is hardly distinguishable from a villain personality. There are also anti-heroes who have most of the qualities of a classic hero, but lack the motivation to be a hero. They are usually cynical or pessimistic. They may become more of a classic hero as they establish positive goals to work on and as these goals become increasingly important to them.

The most common examples refer to violent activity, such as fighting, but in the real world, many examples of badass have little to do with physical violence. There are numerous badass types including, but not limited to: Badass Adorable - Someone that is both cute and badass. Badass Angster - Someone who is badass but prone to brooding or crying. Badass Bookworm - Someone who is badass because of some intellectual ability or genius. Badass Damsel - A badass who is also a woman. Badass Pacifist - A peaceful person who is badass due to, or in spite of, their unwillingness to bad down or use force to get their way. Badass Princess - A badass who is also a princess (or ojou type.) Beware the Nice Ones - Someone who is generally kind and unassuming, but can become a complete badass when provoked. Beware the Silly Ones - Someone who is generally funny and care-free, but can become a complete badass when provoked. Crazy Awesome - A person who is a badass because of their craziness. Or at least, their craziness supports their ability to be badass.

Big Eater - You love food and have the appetite to support your love. You may eat giant portions of food in one sitting, you may be always hungry, or you be always talking and thinking about food. A healthy appetite is nothing to be ashamed of, but make sure you aren't overdoing it. If your well-being is being negatively affected by poor food choices, try not to identify too strongly with this trait. Instead, focus on making healthy lifestyle changes.

Bishonen - In Japanese, the word "bishonen" literally means "beautiful man." You have delicate features that others regard as feminine. You may even be mistaken for a woman. You may be frustrated that you aren't more masculine but remember that there are plenty of women (and men) who are very attracted to bishonen.

Chick Magnet - Females find you attractive. You may be handsome, funny, and intelligent, or you may be awkward, shy, and clumsy. Either way, something about you is charming to the female sex.

Cloudcuckoolander - You keep your head in the clouds. You may come across as naive, serene, or distracted. Whether your mind is actually blank or you are deep in thought (you may oscillate between these two) you manage to keep your thoughts far from the preoccupations of those around you. Examples May Chang, Van Hohenheim Misa, Matsuda Haruhi, Tsuruya, Kuyou Suou Mari Haruko, Mamimi Orihime, Mayuri Mao, Milly Ashford, Lloyd Asplund, Anya Alstreim Millie Thompson Mr. Gates Tohru Sumomo Nia Osaka, Ayumu, Sakaki, Mr. Kimura Tsukasa Mutsumi Otohime Dita Shinobu Morita Ed Gedatsu, Kizaru, Vice Admiral Vergo, Monkey D.

Chivalrous Pervert - You find females beautiful and fascinating. You may spend all day thinking about them, you may constantly flirt with them, and you'll probably feel the need to protect or defend them in certain scenarios. If you have this character trait, make sure you emphasize the chivalrous side and make sure you aren't engaging in sexist behavior. Your antics may be funny to some, but if you are hurting or offending anyone, consider apologizing and keeping your behavior in check. Examples Shunsui Kyoraku Milly Ashford, Clovis Jiraiya

Computer Charmer or Computer Nerd - The wrench wizard enjoys working with hammers, nails, wrenches, and screws. The computer charmer, on the other hand, enjoys working with computers. You may be good at building and fixing computer hardware or software, or you may just spend enough time on the computer to really know your way around. Your friends may seek you out when their computer programs are misbehaving. Your computer skills may come in handy when your group chooses its focus or embarks on some of the projects and adventures in later chapters.

Cordon Bleugh Chef - Despite your efforts, your cooking is assessed by others as inedible. You may have incredibly strange tastes that only you find appealing, or you agree with your friends that you shouldn't be let within 10 feet of a kitchen. This trait is both a curse and an opportunity for humor. Laugh at yourself as you learn. You may eventually go from crummy to champion.

Cosplay Otaku - You love to dress up in costumes. It may seem strange, but plenty of anime characters have an affinity for cosplay. Cosplay is a colorful and fun addition to an anime group. If you don't already cosplay, you may be inclined to start after reading this book's chapter on group projects. Examples Haruhi, Mikuru, and Yuki Milly Ashford Megumi Chihaya Kyouko Akechi Tamamin Yayoi Lucy and Erza Chisame, Evangeline Amasawa Ruby Kiko Isaac and Miria Sawako-sensei Serizawa Akane Haruka Nogizaka Sakura "Penguin" Nankyoku Lots of characters Chikaru

Cross Dresser - You enjoy dressing like the opposite gender. Don't feel guilty or ashamed of this trait - it is common in anime and in life. You may meet with difficulty from those around you, but as you lead an increasingly independent life, you can surround yourself with people who support your interest. Examples Ranka, Haruhi, and others Hibiki-sensei Nuriko, Hotohori Naoto Shirogane Mizuho Alice Ciel Jun Tsubasa Kurenai, Konatsu, Ranma (sort of) Utena Tenjou Randoh/Yuna Seki Kino Nadeshiko Makoto/"Mako-chan" Yellow Belmont Azami Momiji, Ritsu, Ayame

Cute Little Fangs - Your canine teeth stand out when you smile, or possibly even during normal conversation. You may get teased that you are a vampire or part animal. Hopefully those that do the teasing realize what a cute feature your "little fangs" are. In fact, they are frequently used in anime for cuteness. Examples Rem Tsuruya Haruko Nia Seras Ouka

Deadpan Snarker - You are observant, especially of faults in people and plans. This characteristic implies a cynical nature that you express to the amusement or annoyance of friends. You may express yourself with sarcasm, or you may come across as a shrewd strategist, leader, or consultant. In some cases, the Deadpan Snarker resorts to sarcasm so often he/she finds it hard to express genuine feelings.

Determinator - You are the personification of perseverance. If something is important to you, and you're determined to get it, you'll persist despite all odds, no matter the cost. You may become this determined only when an especially noble goal presents itself, or tireless determination may be the way you handle every goal and dream in your life. Examples Edward, Mustang, Lan Fan, Kimbley Light, L, Mello Ashitaka Asuka, Shinji, Rei, Kaworu Bando, Nana, Lucy Ichigo, Chad, Kenpachi, Renji, Rukia, Byakuya, Grimmjow, Nnoitra, Yumichika, Baraggan, SuiFeng Kallen, Jeremiah Gottwald, Lelouch, Suzaku, and others Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, Kiba, Jiraiya, Choji Akimichi, Rock Lee, and others Mugen, Jin Kenshin, Sanosuke, Yahiko Simon, Kamina, Viral, Kittan Son Goku, Vegeta, Son Gohan, the Z Senshi, Freeza, Tenshinhan, Krillin, Videl Hannyabal, Usopp, Luffy, Zoro, Sakazuki, and others Lind Sakamoto Julietta Eren Yeager Guts Sousuke

Elegant Gothic Lolita - You dress in the elegant gothic lolita style of Japan. You combine a gothic style featuring lots of black color and horror elements like bats and vampires with the ultra feminine lolita style of frilly dresses, ribbons, bows, and lace. If you only possess the gothic elements, you're simply a goth while those with only the lolita elements are sometimes referred to as sweet lolitas. Examples Misa Anya Alstreim Isuzu, Saki Chi, Freya Alice, Nanami Hildagarde, Lucifer Natalia/Belarus Nagisa Everyone and everything Evangeline A.K.

Emotionless Girl/Guy - You stand out due to your lack of emotional reaction to the events and people around you. Unlike the Stoic, who makes an effort to be cool and collected in times of trouble or planning (when everyone else is arguing, anxious, or scared), the Emotionless Girl/Guy simply does not have strong feelings or does not understand her/his true emotions.

Evil Laugh - In anime, an evil laugh is usually reserved for super villains, mad scientists, psychos, and Large Hams. It is characterized as a laugh that erupts when contemplating some misfortune or devious scheme. It is often unusually loud or manic, making others question your sanity. Examples Light, Ryuk, Higuchi Lelouch, Emperor Charles, Suzaku Sao, Gauron Yukari, Mr. Kimura Alucard, Anderson Tomo, Mayo Sakaki, Nakago Heero Yuy, Delaz Fleet's Cima Garahau, Hallelujah, Char Aznable, Azrael, Le Creuset, Shani, Auel, and others Evangeline Lord Dearche

Fiery Redhead - You are the stereotypical passionate, outspoken redhead. You may be a fun person to hang out with and a great addition to parties, but if someone or something makes you angry, watch out. You keep things exciting because you are constantly fluctuating between passionate drive, outspoken humor and observation, heated debate, and downright aggression. Examples Asuka Renji Abarai, Jinta Kallen, Shinichiro Tamaki Kyo Natsu, Erza Scarlet, Knightwalker Shayla-Shayla Lucy Kei Satella Koume Sawaguchi Nami Tasuki Vita, Teana, Agito, and Nove Koizumi Risa, Otani Atsushi Matilda Ajan Kushina, Tayuya of the Sound Five, Karin, Sakura, Karui Nami Misty, Flannery, Jessie, Zoey Himeno Yoko Lina Inverse

Genki Girl/Keet - You are the personification of energy and enthusiasm. For some people, your energy is a welcome motivator and source of amusement and humor. For others, your endless enthusiasm can grate on the nerves or be exhausting. Either way, you are often a catalyst in

starting new projects, going on adventures, or getting into trouble. You may speak and act without thinking, which may have humorous, embarrassing, or in rare cases, hurtful results. Examples Misa Haruhi, Tsuruya Haruko Asano Keigo, Orihime, Yachiru Kusajishi, Mashiro, Senna, Nel, Mizuho Kaguya Sumeragi, Shirley Fenette, Milly Ashford, Euphemia Anko Mitarashi, Naruto Misao Kyoko Tohru, Kagura, Satsuki, Komaki, Momiji Sumomo Yuffie Tomo, Yukari-sensei Ryuk Gino Weinberg, Kaguya Sumeragi, Milly Ashford South Korea, Taiwan, Seychelles Tamaki and Honey Miria Harvent, Isaac Dian Radical Edward Mio Hio and Towa-chan

Genius Ditz/Ditzy Genius - Although you are ditzy or absent-minded, you excel in one or more skills, forcing others to expand their perception of intelligence. You may err on the side of being ditzy, with only one or two specific skills to challenge that label. In this case you are a Genius Ditz. Alternatively, you may be intelligent and skilled in many areas while being completely absent-minded or lacking common sense. In this case, you are a Ditzy Genius.

Heavy Sleeper - Once asleep, you can sleep through anything. You can't find an alarm clock loud enough to wake you. As with the klutz, being a deep sleeper can be frustrating but also funny. Don't take yourself too seriously and when you are late to school or work due to oversleeping, remember that many an anime character has shared this situation. Examples Yuki and Kyou Sohma Tsukasa Hiiragi

Hot-Blooded - You throw yourself head first into situations. This may get you into trouble sometimes, when you act before thinking. You may also have a temper that puts a strain on

your relationships with others. Overall, however, your passion is a welcome addition to any group. You excitement often rubs off on others. Your enthusiasm is so over-the-top you make everyone grin and laugh. Unlike the Genki Girl/Keet, who is generally positive and enthusiastic, you may become passionate only at times and it may not be positive. Unlike the Determinator, who is passionate and persistant, you may become passionate for a time and then lose interest. Your passionate reactions to life may also make you a Large Ham.

Idiot Hero - Some may consider you a fool, but your childlike innocence, determination, idealistic goals make you an inspiration to your friends, who may also turn to you for leadership. You may frequently make mistakes and get into messy situations, which friends may find humorous, irritating, or both. However, if many cases you emerge triumphant, often due to some underappreciated skills, through sheer determination, or due to a naively positive interpretation of outcomes.

Jerkass Facade - While you are actually a caring, considerate person, you have reasons for behaving like a jerk around other people. Perhaps you want to avoid getting close to others, perhaps you want to appear more confident, perhaps you think that acting like a jerk makes you more attractive. Whatever the reason, you have made a conscious decision to step away from your innate considerate nature and behaving as though you are uncaring and/or arrogant.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold - Unlike the Jerkass Facade, you tend to behave like a jerk without trying or making a conscious decision. However, beneath the arrogant, inconsiderate, or hurtful emotional reactions, you are a caring, loving person. Don't beat yourself up if you have this trait. In fact, most people have this trait to some degree because most people have protective mechanisms they use to prevent being hurt.

Kawaiiko - Your behavior mimics that of a small child. The difference is, you are largely aware of your cute behavior. The kawaiiko walks a dangerous line between appearing irresistible and creepy. You should do what makes you happy, but be aware of how you appear to others. In general, the older you are, the more subtle you should express your cute behavior to remain on everyone's cute side.

Klutz - Maybe you drop things, maybe you trip over your own feet. People may curse your clumsy behavior (you included) but your curse is also the gift of golden comedic moments. Relax and laugh at yourself, maybe you'll appreciate the humor off your ways. Examples Ayumu, Osaka, Chiyo Misuzu Akane Tendo Naruto, Tobi Louie Amelia Mai's mother Taiga Aisaka Dino Daisuke Roberta Nyu, Kisaragi Tohru Honda, Tohru's mom, Kyoko, and Kisa Sohma Kiara the Amaranthine Kotetsu T.

Kuudere - "Kuudere" means "hot-cold." You have a warm, loving side and a cold, pragmatic side that compete for expression. While in "cold mode" you may use silent treatment, non-verbal

cues suggesting disgust or superiority, cynical comments, or emotionless or overly logical behavior. There are three basic types of Kuudere: You may be a Kuudere because you have such good control over your emotions, you stay calm and rational in all situations (in that case you may also be a Stoic or Emotionless Girl/Guy). Or, you may be a Kuudere who is cold only to those you don't trust, but warm to those you know and trust. Finally, you may be a Kuudere because you alternate between your cold side and your warm side, often reacting to certain triggers that put you in one or the other mode. Examples Riza Hawkeye, Sloth Kyon, Yuki Nagato Rei, Ritsuko Lucy Byakuya Kuchiki, Ryuuken C.C., Lloyd Asplund, Anya Alstreim Sai, Shikamaru Nara, Itachi, Neji Sakaki Lain Karuta Yue Ayase, Setsuna, Princess Arika Sakaki Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, Iceland, Japan Boa Hancock, Nico Robin Setsuna Meiou, Michiru Kaiou, Rei Hino

Large Ham - You have a knack for stealing the show with your over-the-top theatrics. You may or may not intentionally garner attention, but you certainly don't mind it. You act in ways that others see as outlandish, inappropriate, hilarious, or arrogant, or larger-than-life. While people generally enjoy your attention grabbing theatrics, you may overlook others when they are trying to express themselves and be heard. A Large Ham is appreciated most when he/she respects the presence and voice of others. Examples Light, Misa, Mello, Mikami Teru, Ryuk Alex Armstrong, Olivier Mira Armstrong, Major Alex Louis Armstrong, Christopher Sabat, Barry the Chopper Haruhi Uryu Ishida, Barragan, Yammy Rialgo, Szayel Aporro, Zommari, Grimmjow, Charlotte Cuulhorne, Isshin, Don Kanonji, Ikkaku, Arrancar Grand Fisher, Uryuu Ishida, and

Manic Pixie Dream Girl/Guy - Although not necessarily female, this personality feature is usually reserved for attractive, quirky, eccentric females who are saturated with life to the brink of chaos. A Manic Pixie Dream Girl/Guy is a romantic about all things, lives freely and may even be considered crazy by some. You are probably also a Strange Girl/Guy.

Meganekko/Megane - "Meganekko" means "glasses girl", although those satisfying the criteria for this personality feature may not wear glasses. The Meganekko/Megane is pleasant and sweet, while also being smart and clever. She/he is approachable, humble, and probably introverted, yet confident and reliable. And, at least in anime, characters with this personality are often found wearing glasses. Examples Sheska, Riza Mari, Makoto Arakawa Nina Einstein, Euphemia Shiho Naota's cat Nanao Ise Kyoko Mine Kinon Koyomi Yumiko, Rip Van Winkle Anthy Jin Yomiko Readman, Nenene Sumiregawa Mizuno Ami Mitsuki Harumi Fujiyoshi Tsuzuri, Mi, and Hyouka Carly Nagisa, ZEXAL Cathy Haruhi Fujioka

Moe - A character possessing "Moe" is a character that people want to protect, hug, and comfort. They are almost always cute, and usually young.

Ojou/Princely Young Man - An Ojou-san or Ojou-sama is someone with high-class female characteristics. Often, this person is wealthy, but not necessarily. The key to this personality is

that people treat her like royalty or at least, respect her formal attitude by reciprocating. She is often found in a powerful role, such as the president of a club or council. The Princely Young Man is the closest male counterpart to the Ojou. Like the ojou, this is someone who is treated as an aristocrat and who assumes mannerisms and behavior to match. This person need not be wealthy or be heir to a noble lineage, although they often are. Often, this person has gained their status through a position of authority they acquired themselves or through their popularity or charm. Examples Kiyomi Tsuruya Cornelia, Kallen, Kaguya Sumeragi, Milly Ashford, and others Hinata Hyuga Ren Chiyo Integra Prince Schneizel, Gino Weinberg, Li Xingke Tamaki and the others Yuki Maito Senpuuji Tokiya Gouiche Austria Nozomu Kanou Keigo Atobe Light Yagami Sasuke Uchiha

The Quiet One - The quiet is very simply, a person who rarely speaks. This person can be male or female. They are not necessarily loners, although they may come across that way. Because they rarely speak, their words carry an extra weight. This is usually justified as the quiet one tends to be thoughtful, speaking with care and consideration for what's being said.

Slasher Smile - A slasher smile is a smile that conveys no warmth. Instead, aggression, mischief, or madness are typically implied by this exaggerated grin. This characteristic often accompanies wild and crazy personalities. However, it is sometimes seen in otherwise sane personalities, where it is brought on by some trigger or periodic mischievous thought.

Stoic - This personality is calm and collected, regardless of the circumstances. When everyone else is jumping with joy or trembling with fear, this person seems unaffected. This person tends to be brutally honest and can thereby offend others. The polar opposite of the Stoic is the HotBlooded personality. There may be a select few instances where this person displays emotion, but their default reactions range from mild interest to detachment to outright disdain. While the Stoic's outward calm is more intentional or due to a calculating mind, the Emotionless Guy/Girl just lacks emotion or is confused about their feelings. Examples

Tall, Dark/Light, and Bishoujo/Bishonen - This feature is a combination of appearance and personality. In appearance, this person combines several (not necessarily all) of the following characteristics: taller than her peers, voluptuous body, long hair, strong contrast between hair color and skin color, regarded as beautiful by her peers. In personality, this person tends to be mature. Often their maturity makes them somewhat aloof or distant. They are often regarded with admiration. Examples Olivier, Lust Naomi Misora, Takada Haruhi

Tall, Dark/Light, and Snarky - Like the Tall, Dark, and Bishoujo/Bishonen, this feature is a combination of appearance and personality. In appearance, they are often tall and regarded as handsome or beautiful by their peers. In personality they usually come across as arrogant or constantly annoyed. They often view the people around them as idiots, and match that view with snarky comments. Despite their critical eye (or perhaps because of it), they are often mentors whose advice carries considerable weight with their friends and admirers.

Tomboy/Bokukko - Your behavior, appearance, dress, or sentiments may resemble those of a male. You may be tougher than most of your female friends, or you may be as athletic as your male friends. You may not like "girly" things, or you may have an interest in typically male activities. The tomboy comes in many forms. You can embrace what makes your a tomboy without identifying with all tomboy traits. The tomboy is often a welcome contrast to otherwise overly feminine characters in many anime.

Tsundere - This is a person who tends to oscillate between two extremes of mood, usually towards one person or group. At times, they are sweet, kind, and generous. Other times, they are harsh, irritable, and annoyed. This behavior often stems from an inner struggle between feelings of love for a person or group and the insecurity or disappointment that arises as a response to those feelings. Typically, the "Tsun" or cold side is just a facade while the "dere" or sweet side is the true personality. The Tsundere tends to apply to females, while Jerk with a Heart of Gold is very similar but tends to apply to males. This feature is very similar to Kuudere, except that a Kuudere's negative side is more cold or withdrawn while a Tsundere's negative side is more irritated or angry.

Trickster - A person who plays tricks on others or who enjoys disobeying conventional rules is a trickster. This person is not necessarily malevolent, they may just get a kick out of foiling expectations. Although often they are simple in it for the laughs, at times this person can use tricks to cheat or manipulate others. If this person is political, they may be disobeying societal norms as a means of protesting an aspect of society they disagree with. They may also be an Anti-Hero. Examples Haruhi Kaworu C.C.

Wrench Wizard/Gadgeteer Genius - You are talented with tools, good at fixing and building things. You may be the first person your friends and family turn to when one of their possessions is broken.

Yamato Nadeshiko - This is a very Japanese personality feature. "Yamato" is a term for Japan usually reserved for poetry. "Nadeshiko" is a term for a wildflower found in Japanese highlands. These words together refer to a woman who reflects a traditional ideal for a Japanese woman. She is fiercely loyal to her family, friends, and respected authorities. Like a wildflower, she is both delicate and strong. She typically possesses domestic skills alongside wisdom and maturity. Physically, this person is often delicate with pale skin and long straight dark hair.

Yandere - Like the Tsundere and the Kuudere, the Yandere oscillates between two moods. As opposed to the former features, the sweet or "dere" side is often a facade, while the "Yan" or crazy side is the hidden or true personality. The crazy side of this person ranges from being obsessive, controlling, jealous, or actually crazy.

Assessment 3: Your Element Everyone has all the elements within themselves, but not in equal measure. Some people may be fairly balanced between several elements, while others will have a single element that is much stronger than the others. Celebrate your dominant element and feed it, but don't neglect other elements in your life. Individuals have the power to balance their dominant element with a supporting element, and this is actually recommended. Resonating strongly with only one element can lead to imbalances in personal and public life. More information about Chinese five-element theory as it applies to personality can be found in the book Mastering 5-Elements by Tanya Storch.

Staying Balanced According to Chinese five-element theory, it's best not to have one element in excess. In order to balance your dominant element consider building the energy of your next strongest element or building the energy of the element that naturally supports your dominant element. In five-element theory, each element is supported by another element. Water supports tree, tree supports fire, fire supports earth, earth supports metal, and metal supports water. You need not focus on only one or two elements. Be supportive of as many elements in your life as you feel like embracing.

Fire Element Based on this assessment, you are a fire element. According to Chinese five-element theory, fire people are the most energetic of all the elements. They are passionate, enchanting, and romantic, but must guard against becoming too impatient or hot-blooded. The fire element is naturally enhanced in everyone during the teens and early twenties. Fire elements cultivate their energy by using the colors orange, red, and yellow in their dress, decoration, and interior design. Hot foods like coffee, tea, soup, and hot meals are good for fire people. Spicy foods like peppers, cinnamon, and curry are also good. As a fire, trying new things, including new foods, is important to build your fire energy. Fire power is boosted in summer, the fire person's most powerful season. When in the privacy of their own space, fires enjoy wearing little or no clothing. Because fires are powered by the sun, noon is the most powerful time of day for a fire. It is the time of day when they have the most energy for exercise and work, and when their appetite peaks. Fires enjoy rooms with wide open sunny windows. Fires are best suited for living in the southern United States (although the southeast may be a bit too wet/watery for them) and may not tolerate northern climates well.

Fire energy is centered in the heart. For this reason, fire people must take special care of their heart and are more prone to problems there.

Water Element Based on this assessment, you are a water element. According to Chinese five-element theory, water people are withdrawn and philosophically inclined and must guard against becoming too passive or stagnant. Although the water element is misunderstood in modern Western culture, it is the most valued element in Asian cultures, where water types are chosen as leaders and heroes. The water element is naturally enhanced in everyone during old age between ages 48-60 (after this the elements cycle again, beginning with tree). Water elements cultivate their energy by using shades of blue in their dress, decoration, and interior design. Each water element usually has one special shade of blue that resonates with them more than other shades. Water people are often picky eaters, but should make sure to include salty and bitter foods in their diet as these support their energy. Waters should avoid food and drink at hot temperatures. Water power is boosted in the winter, the water person's most powerful season. Winter also provides the water person with a chance to hide - cloaked in layers of clothing or withdrawn indoors the water person maintains their energy best. Night hours are the most powerful time for a water person when they may shift from shy to talkative. Water people should pay close attention to their insights and dreams during the night hours. Waters are best suited for living in the Northern United States. Water energy is centered in the kidney. For this reason, water people must take special care of their kidneys and are more prone to problems there.

Tree Element Based on this assessment, you are a tree element. According to Chinese five-element theory, tree people are the sweetest and kindest of the elements, but trees can sacrifice themselves and are often taken advantage of. Their strength lies in their creativity and nurturing, healing nature. The tree element is naturally enhanced during early childhood - from 1-12 years old. A tree person may feel like a child at heart. Tree elements cultivate their energy by using shades of green in their dress, decoration, and interior design.
