Yes. Hello! I'm Danielle. 20 years old. Student at the University of Calgary. Freshman.

Right now, my major is East Asian Studies. Soon, I'll change to International Relations.

I'm a foreigner. I'm half-British, half-Canadian. I love England, and I love Canada, too.

My Chinese zodiac is the Rabbit. My Western zodiac is the Archer (Sagittarius).

I live in Calgary.

Panda is a lazy, rotten bastard who often (but not always) refers to herself in third person. Her real first name is of no importance, since she prefers the psuedonym's of "D", Na-chan, or Panda, anyway.

She was born in England on a miserably cold day, in a town called Salisbury in the county of Wiltshire, England. She is legal, and loves both her British and Canadian roots. She claims to be Salisbury's (and Dover's) missing Village Idiot, though this statement has yet to be confirmed.

Her Chinese and Zodiac are the Rabbit, and the Archer, respectively. She enjoys the contrasting ideas presented between the idea that the archer shoots the rabbit, and sometimes the lion will eat it (especially since her best friend is a Leo).

She is currently located a mystery location. It's so mysterious, in fact, that even she doesn't know where it is. She is very short. She believes (occassionally) in herself, her friends, goals and ambitions, fairies, dragons, and unicorns. While she is essentially a "kid at heart", she can also be painfully rational and offensively serious.

The diet of this panda often, but not always, includes thick "Shanghai" noodles, yakisoba, package ramen and various other types of noodles, except for packaged udon; she hates packaged udon. She can often be seen drinking Pepsi, Talking Rain, and other carbonated beverages, but has also occassionally been seen drinking water.

She likes darker colours, especially black, and chocolate brown, but has been seen associating with lighter colours like yellow, blue, and very rarely, pink.

She is, in real life, as on the interweb, a very frank person, and isn't entirely afraid to tell it how it is. She is very jaded, and dislikes most of humanity. She is somewhat elitist when it comes to writing, hating netspeak and n00bspeak, and anything pertaining to what could be considered a "one-liner". Unless it's a witty, deadpan quote.

Although she is not over-confident of her own writing skill, she believes others should take extreme caution and care when writing, especially if its fanfiction, and insists on immaculate, exemplary execution of their first language, which in most cases is English.

Panda is a psychotic Grammar Nazi, and is rabid about respect for the English language. Completely rabid.

She is also fairly self-absorbed, and extremely self-destructive. Sometimes, she acts kindly and selflessly towards others, but mostly she's a selfish, crotchety witch who acts more like a fifty-year-old woman than a barely-legal fantard.

In closing...

Panda should be approached with extreme caution. She is quiet and solitary, and gets very hostile when her territory is invaded. Asexual, she dislikes annoying advances by either gender. If you are forced to approach her, it is advised that you do so only under direst of circumstances, and only with many gifts of panda stuffies, bamboo, and rice balls at hand. This is the only proven way to avoid her scathing tongue and acidic vocabulary. It is also advised that you don't ask her anything, as she is an endless fountain of useless information, and her trap rarely stops moving.

The anime that panda can most often be associated with are ジャングルはいつもハレのちグゥ (♥) (JUNGLE wa Itsumo Hare Nochi Guu, + DELUXE, +FINAL), 最遊記RELOAD (Saiyuki RELOAD), 最遊記RELOAD GUNLOCK (Saiyuki RELOAD GUNLOCK), ベルサイユのばら (Rose of Versailles), ゲットバッカーズ (GetBackers), ゴクドーくん漫遊記 (Gokudo-kun Manyuuki), Pet Shop of Horrors, トリニティ・ブラッド (Trinity Blood), センシチィブ•ポルノグラフ (Sensitive Pornograph), 犬夜叉 (InuYasha) (especially the OVA), 遙かなる時空の中で～八葉抄～ (Harukanaru Toki no Naka de ～Hachiyosho～), and サムライ・チャンプルー (♥) (Samurai Champloo), and so on.

She has no real preference, and will only continually watch something if she feels it is worth the internet bandwidth. She is currently on "anime hiatus", preferring to waste time and money on manga, and other aspects of the fandoms rather than DVD.

The manga that panda is mostly enamoured with are 神風怪盗ジャンヌ (♥) (Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne), 幻想魔伝•最遊記 (Gensomaden Saiyuki), 最遊記RELOAD (Saiyuki RELOAD), Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, ホット•ギミック (♥) (hot gimmick), メテオ•メトセラ (♥) (Immortal Rain), Alichino, Princess Ai, RE:Play and et cetera.

She reads several manga, but is very skeptical about trying new series, as she dislikes being disappointed.

She enjoys her fandoms, but shies away from the spotlight of the community, preferring to stay in the shadows as only the "Stalker" level of fangirl, which is three steps below "Psychotic" and four steps above "Non-fan". She is ocassionally rabid, but is usually too lazy to get so into something.

She likes going to cons, especially if there are Meet & Greets with her favourite voice actors. She would really like to cosplay but feels she is neither skilled enough, nor blessed with the proper physique to properly do so.

Teh Panda can often be found wasting her time on Japanophilia, sleeping, dolling, making LJ and website layouts, obsessing over fan characters and their stories, obsessing over the fandom, writing lamey-lame stories, and hating or at least strongly disliking 92% of the remaining population of the planet, and et cetera.

More than anything in the world, panda hates homophobia, rudeness, waking up early, stupid people, "otakus", j-tards, n00bs, the word "otaku", idiots!, ART THEFT!!,
people who don't think for themselves, shitheads, weiners, knobs, anyone else who makes her skin crawl, pain, mean teachers, losing sleep, and being annoyed.

People who are obtuse, bigoted, unintelligent, or otherwise intellectually uninteresting make panda cry for the future of the species.

It is advised that anyone approaching or engaging in discussion with panda never, ever call her stupid. She knows many things about many things, and while she does not claim to know everything, she is definitely not stupid.

She dislikes patriarchal society, and the idea that a female needs a male to adequately survive or support herself.

She cannot stand religious zealots, or "biblethumpers", and wishes that religious radicals would vanish from the face of the Earth. She dislikes most Western religions, including Cathlocism, Christianity, Anglicanism, Presbyterianism, and any other Western religion that suggests that any person who does not worship the "one and only" God is going straight to Hell for being a bigot. She also dislikes the religion of Islam. Religious hypocrisy (panda laughs at the oxymoron) is also something that panda cannot stand.

She hates capitalism because she believes it to be a grossly unfair economic system. She also hates fascism because of its mostly bigoted policies and concepts, but hates communism as well, because it is economically impossible.
