Joanna Jorissen

Mirror wrote:Name: Joanna Jorissen
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Birthday: 10/31
Sexuality: Bisexual
Special Characteristics: Cat ears, tail, and slit pupils. Additionally, her hair changes colour depending if it’s day or night; yellow and green at the day, and white and purple at night.

Personality: Joanna is an individual mainly characterized by her pragmatic, hard-headed intelligence. She tends to prioritize objectives and personal growth that would help her reach those aspirations, to the benefit of the organization she is part of, over her own personal life. Her perspective regarding “what she needs to do” and “what she has to do” is very black and white. Anything that she wants at the time is put on the farthest backburner over what she feels she must do, and this makes her extremely pragmatic to a fault, although it is a boon for her choice of profession. Consequentially, she can be described as diligent, albeit a bit hollow.

Moreover, anything she deems useful for the current cause she tries to incorporate to her advantage, and this has made her resourceful. Whether it be items, people, or the environment, she tries to employ everything to her advantage if it helps with her current goal. While she might not be charismatic enough to be a leader, she is still adroit and intelligent enough to still serve in advisory roles, providing ideas to those who can communicate with others better than her—a thing that she is, frankly, terrible at. Reclusive by nature, she is curt, to the point, and brutally honest.

As implied, she is a loyal girl. Once she has made up her mind with who she intends to align with, she will commit to that until external factors otherwise expel her from it. It’s hard for her to get close to others on a personal level, however, and this makes others consider her aloof from an outside look, and they’re not wrong. She is one who holds grudges others may forget about, but she burns into her mind for reference until she can capitalize on it. Satire is her preferred means of humour; when incapable of providing comfort, she prefers jokes as a means of smoothing over tension. She acknowledges that while she might thrive under pressure, comrades might not, and that is detrimental to her goals.

Joanna is not entirely without conscience, however, trained in the department of suppressing emotions she may be. The things that tend to spurn on those everlasting grudges is when harm comes to her allies, or in rarer cases people she’s grown attached to. Despite most people comparing her to a bitter vial of acid, she has the backs of those who share a common goal with her. It doesn’t help her case too much. Aside from inappropriate snarky jokes at the most inopportune moments, Joanna is one of the least animated people around, and she doesn’t have a large supply of patience, either; in plain words, she’s ruthless, and her lack of mercy can result in rather disproportional retribution for transgressions.

Likes:
+ Reading: Joanna thoroughly enjoys reading, and has a large collection of books. When she talks to people, it is usually one of the things that can get her talking a little. She tends to prefer mysteries, horror, and other darker themes when it comes to literature. Additionally, it gives her time to sit down with a book an appreciate it generally alone.

+ Exercise: It may not seem it from her personality, but Joanna enjoys strict exercise regiments. Running at certain times of day, going through calisthenics and bodyweight exercises, weights, obstacle courses she personally sets it up—if it’s arduous, she enjoys it. For pragmatic reasons and just personal preference, she prefers to monitor what she puts in her body and how she maintains it.

+ Rain: When it’s raining, Joanna has an odd characteristic where, if she doesn’t have anything urgent to do, she will stop whatever other pastime she’s doing and watch the rain. There’s an almost hypnotic, tranquil effects watching the droplets has that she enjoys, and the heavier the rain, she more she enjoys it, where others may deem it bad weather.

Dislikes:

- The Sun: Whether it be daytime, the sun in general, and hot weather, she dislikes it all. One could chalk it up to her being a gloomy person, and while that is true, she also just hates the heat, and the bugs, and the fact it being day literally having physical detriment to her based on her abilities. It’s not fun for her at all, she and prefers to sleep through most of it.

- Socialization: Not being adept in social graces makes her into a bit of a recluse. It isn’t that she fears social interaction, it’s just something she doesn’t understand well and can’t do with the efficiency that other people can, and thus she tries to stay away from it not only to not make a fool of herself, but to not waste of the time of others, too.

- Vanity: Despite being able to come off as condescending herself sometimes, she isn’t vanity’s biggest fan. People with excessive amounts of pride she keeps at an even greater distance than others, namely because it’s one of the things she’s capable of stomaching less. If it’s a colleague, she tries to at least reason that they’re capable of backing it up.

Motivations:

+ Finding Herself: The reason that she was born, the purpose she has in life, why she has survived the ordeals she’s been through—these are the things she seeks to find out in continuing to live her life. It may be way her tactics are more cautious than not, for she chooses not to be reckless until she can at the very least answer this question earnestly.

+ Training: Going together with her Spartan exercise regiments is her desire to attain what she considers to be strength. Despite this, she’s not the most competitive individual in the world, it is more of a goal she aspires to in order to be better at her job, and thus more useful to whatever cause is at hand.

+ Weaponization: Admittedly, she’s at odds with her emotions; she’s uncertain if possessing any of them is a good thing, as it can invite weakness in her eyes, and she seeks out means to deliberate subjugate what remains of her own.

Fears:

- Bugs: If she sees one of these, she’ll probably kill it immediately. It’s an irrational fear; she doesn’t know why she gets itchy when these things are around, but she does, and these things are often victims to her disproportional punishments.

- Sleeping: When sleeping almost always leaves one subject to unpleasant dreams, it’s only natural for one to not be a fan of it; this is the case for Joanna. Waking up with cold sweat and writhing in her slumber are just some of the symptoms.

- Incompetence: Joanna is afraid of her own incompetence, as she perceives her competence on the job to be one of her few areas of expertise. Without that, she doubts she’d contribute much to anything, and that feeling of worthlessness is something she is gravely afraid of.
