graffitimoon tagged me to do this meme for Clara. Like almost two weeks ago.

1. Do you like this character?
No. "Like" is too weak a word. I do believe I understand the way parents love their children because I adore her with a passion that is kind of disturbing considering she's not actually real. I love her lots and want her to have all of the most wonderful things in the world, and rather feel the urge to mangle anyone who hurts her. Including myself. I'M SUCH A BAD MUN! ;_;

2.What name/s do you call this character?
Um. Clara. Her family calls her Clare, but I don't. Sometimes "my baby". Her full name is Clara Mary Smith.

3.What image/color do you associate with this character?
Colors: blues and purples. Images... uh, I dunno. Flowers in the springtime? Puppies? Teacups? Pretty dresses and sunhats? Warm smiles? Sunshine? ...Ye gods, how saccharine.

4.What image-song do you associate with this character?
See, I didn't know the term "image-song" so my brain just skipped over the "image" half, and so

shichahn's meme post confused the hell out of me and I had to go look it up. Um. Clara's a semi-original character, so she doesn't have an image-song. Psiren's too minor a character to rate one, and even if she did, it would match up horribly with Clara.

...So I'm just going to go with my original plan and LIST ALL OF MY CLARA SONGS OH GOD YOU'LL BE SORRY YOU ASKED.

-Pretty much the entirety of Nana Mouskouri's album Couleur Gospel, but most especially "Are You Sure", "Balm in Gilead", "Nobody Knows the Troubles I've Seen", "Oh Happy Day", "Slow Train", "I Got Shoes", "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" (sob!), "All My Trials", and "Amazing Grace". Yep, me and Clara loves us some gospel while we're washing dishes~! :D
-Significant chunks of Jewel's Pieces of You and Spirit: "Near You Always" (wishful-thinking song from Colin era, sob!), "I'm Sensitive", "Hands", and "Barcelona". I imagine Clara's singing-voice to sound like some combination of Jewel and Vienna Teng.
-Speaking of Vienna Teng: "Soon Love Soon", "Lullaby For A Stormy Night" (I'm thinking of her sibs here, aww), "Anna Rose" (these would by my feelings about my baby here), "The Atheist Christmas Carol" (ironically), and, for some reason, "Green Island Serenade" (I blame her friendship with Mr. Li).
-Assorted songs by The Beatles: "Love Me Do", "With Love From Me To You", "I Want To Hold Your Hand" (all of these are from the Colin era), "All You Need Is Love", and "Let It Be".
-"Walk On By" by Aretha Franklin (from the Colin-is-not-Colin-but-instead-a-murderous-evil-inhuman-sin-against-God era, sob!).
-"What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong.
-"I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend" by Lush (Colin era; also, sorry Winry, this is totally Clara's song, not yours).
-"If I Had A Hammer" by Peter, Paul & Mary (we sing this one a lot while washing dishes too ;D ).
-"Seasons of Love" from Rent (if you asked Clara, this would be the OMG Fullmetal Alchemist theme song, not "It's A Disaster").
-"My Eyes Are Dry" by Scooter (yes, a Scooter song, laugh it up... but this is very much her I Am In Denial song for Colin-is-a-sin-against-God era).
-"Most Of The Time" by Sophie Zelmani (another Denial song from ColinisasinagainstGod).
-"She's So High" by Tal Bachman (I would like to think this is Darren POV about Clara, but maybe that's just me).

5.What blood-type do you think this character is?
I'm with Lauren, the blood-type-as-personality-indicator kind of pisses me off, although I don't know why this more than, say, the zodiac. ...However, a quick glance at the Wikipedia page for "Blood types in Japanese culture" leads me to say she'd be type A, or maybe type O.

6.Of all of the titles that this character appears in, what character do you like to put this character with?
...LOL. Um. Darren Hohenheim would be the obvious, even if Fate didn't work out as planned (*SIGH*). Other candidates include Colin Renfield if he had been a real person, Mykel Terrigan (that whole thing was freaking adorable), Maes Hughes if he'd never met Gracia (which doesn't bear thinking about, but, honestly, he is exactly her type and she had this Sekrit Krush on him, so sekrit even she didn't realized she had it), Jean Havoc if we'd had one around for more than two seconds EVER... uhhhhh lol Roy-chan if he wasn't so very very gay (seriously they are so much alike, the cute and awkward would reach explosive levels) and LOL Alfons Heiderich if he were older and Not Gay (Catholic Nice People, unite!). ...This is unrelated because she would sooo never go there, but was Vengeance/Amicus/Socrates totally developing a crush on her or was I just on glue? HE WAS SO ADORABLE.

7.What would you want to say to this character?
OhmygodwherewouldIstart, we would talk for HOURS. Just, about... stuff. EVERYTHING. Uh. I would almost want to tell her to ditch Ren sooner, for her own mental and emotional health, but... I can't imagine that part of the story going differently.

8.What do you want to do with this character:
I dunno, just hang out. Spend all day together. Do the stuff I've already imagined us doing in my head, washing dishes and singing, cooking together, going on walks, sitting in the parlor and drinking cups of tea, just sitting and talking, or gossiping about who likes who and which boys are cute.

Please choose 5 friends with your choice of character.
Okay well several of my friends already got tagged, so....

boko: Nuriko, how's that for a blast from the past... also hey look a character that doesn't actually belong to the memer, which is probably how this is supposed to work...

slob_child: Uh, pick a random Metanoia character to throw at you... Milo! Sure, why not.

potatoe1988: And your random Metanoia character is... Lexi!

...We'll see if any of those people actually SEE this, much less follow through. ...COME ON GUYS. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.
