Jasmine Reinier:

What is a Jasmine, you ask? It is not a flower, nor is it a scent. A Jasmine is a dragon. A female dragon, to be exact. She lives in a remote cave and only comes out during the nighttime. She is usually a solitary creature who enjoys all forms of sugary snacks. And bishies. She loves her some bishies. Her friends mean the world to her, and she adores each and every one of them. Slow to anger, she is fairly laid-back, but when ticked off, she likes to inflict pain. Mass amounts of pain. And blood. She enjoys making people bleed when they get on her bad side.

Ramen is her weakness. Feed her ramen, and she'll love you forever. Or draw her things. Jazzy likes it when you draw her things.

Rurouni Kenshin is her favorite manga, but Yu Yu Hakusho and Trigun hold special places in her heart, as well. Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Wolf's Rain, and Full Metal Alchemist are all well-loved, as are Tenchi Muyo, Cyborg 009, Dot Hack Sign, and Witch Hunter Robin. Bleach is an amazing manga, and Jazzy is sad that she has yet to see the anime. Naruto kicks much ass, too. And one must not forget Ceres, Fushigi Yuugi, Samurai Deeper Kyo, and Peacemaker Kurogane.

Her favorite games include many of the Final Fantasy games. 7, 8, 9, 10, and Tactics all make her very happy. Zelda games are a must, for she adores a certain King of Evil. Jazzy believes that Spyro the Dragon is the cutest thing since moogles. Sonic games are a source of much enjoyment for her. She loves to play Super Smash Brothers games, and she can't wait for Brawl to come out. Kirby is almost as adorable as chicobos. And being an airpirate in Skies of Arcadia Legends is one of the best things since being the half-human-half-vampire-semi-hero-Dracula's-son Alucard from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Lament of Innocence and Circle of the Moon are a must -- Jazzy has a thing for vampires.

Jazzy is a Tae-Kwon-Do blackbelt. She loves writing and draws during her tiny amount of free time. She owns two katanas and a shinai and is known as a "Katana-gari" amongst her friends. Her nickname is Ryuu-chan. She loves the Shinsengumi and samurai. Vampires are adored by her. Horror movies make her squeal happily. The number three is an amazing number, as is the number eight. Good grammar makes her happy. Reviews and reviewers do, as well. Sharp objects must be kept away from her or else they shall be picked up and waved about. Blood, to her, is a pretty color. Awesome quotes and death threats will be immediately acknowledged and written down. Fire is both fun and warm. Really Good Angst is one of her favorite things to read, and not many people can write Really Good Angst. But when they can, oh boy, they'd better watch out for a squealing fangirl.

Jazzy doesn't like it when people take constructive criticism as a flame, nor does she like it when people flame back for constructive criticism. She feels that it is both childish and annoying. Grammar is a must, and she gets irritated when people don't use spell-check. People may have a creative liscense, but that does not give them permission to mess with a character's true personality. Jazzy adores many unusual pairings, and she dislikes it when people don't give a strange pairing a chance and flame the story because of it. Character bashing in non-humor fics is not fun to read. Nor is out-of-character-ness. Bad summaries make her brain explode. Chat-speak makes her eyes bleed. Spiders make her scream. Heights make her scream. Spiders on a cliff makes her die.

If someone throws a spider at Jazzy, she will kill you. End of story.
