This is Me...

Um, Hello world.

Wow, this is scarier than I thought it would be. It's hard to type, my fingers are shaking so.

After being inspired by my hero Ruby, I decided to write a blog about what happens in my life. After all, if Ruby is brave enough to write about her exploits, then I can be too. Maybe it will help me to come to terms with all that has happened. Or, maybe Ruby will read my blog, and then maybe I could pretend that we were friends! And maybe I could even pretend to be friends with her roommate, Iris, whom I also admire for her bravery.  Because there's no way I could ever actually meet them. It would not be safe. (You can learn about Ruby and Iris at their blogs, http://rubyandivory.blogspot.com/ and http://www.irisclearwater.blogspot.com/, respectively)

I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Charlotte Kathrine Darling. I love to wear pretty clothes, especially lolita dresses. I live a quaintrelle life, meaning that I pattern my life and style after that of someone from the victorian era. I have way too many tea sets, and I love to bake french pastries and fancy cakes (as well as cupcakes!). I also love to sew and make things, especially stuffed animals. Most of my decorations in my apartment are made by me! I have two pet dormice, named Felicity and Benevolence. I have an obsession with all things sparkly and elegant, which means that of course I am addicted to magical girls anime!!!

I come from a small town in the middle of nowhere, USA, and it is your average stereotypical town. Or, at least it was. I...never mind. You don't need to know. I'm not ready to talk about it yet. I live in a secluded apartment all by myself, because that's the safest thing to do.  

Part of the reason that I admire Ruby is her willingness to share about her powers, and that she's not afraid to speak of what happens to her (I mean speak in the figurative sense. She can't actually speak without gems falling out of her mouth!) I feel a connection with her, because I don't speak much either, except I don't have the luxury of being cursed. I'm just painfully shy. And I'm scared of what I may say. But, then again, I'm scared of a lot of things...

I dream of being a super hero, of using my powers to help others, like Ruby and Iris! I have always wanted to be a magical girl, ever since I turned the page of my first magical girl manga. But, I know that it is an impossible dream, and that, for the safety of the world, I should never try to use my powers. Ever.

Because, you see, while Ruby and Iris are super heroes,(in my eyes at least, even if they don't realize it themselves)

I am the Villain of my story.
