Description I don't know if it's because I come off gender neutral online, but I have been mistaken for a guy many times. While I love me some mens, I'm not one of them   So, for those who don't know, this is me, Bea!

I'm a pleasantly plump, though a bit plumper in real life, black girl with freckles and glasses... and yes, I am a bit of a nerd according to my friends, and PROUD OF IT!

My hair is a big bundle of sisterlocks, that on a bad day looks like a lion's mane, and I try to never leave the house without wearing the two bracelets my sister made for me. They're like my good luck charms!

I'm am introvert-- though I try to be more outgoing, I sometimes I fail >_< tragically, but I'm an optimist.  I pick myself up, learn from my mistakes and try again in hopes of a better outcome.  I'm also stubborn, as several friends have mentioned, and I agree   I know who I am, what I believe, and I'm full opinions, but I don't let pride get in the way of seeing other points of view. For that reason, my friend also mentioned that I am reasonable, when I'm stubborn. Like every human though, I do have my flaws, and I don't shy away from admitting them.

Overall, I'm simple girl, and I find joy in simple things. Best things in life are free, kinda person, which in my opinion can be summed up in good company. And that's me!

This drawing actually came about because I was asked to draw myself in the uniform of the House I would attend if I were in Harry Potter. Because I only saw the first film (simply because my attention span is so short, sitting through 3 hours can be agony for me) I did not know what I was doing... The first draft , I showed my friend Zygona, and was like "Look, it's me in Harry Potta's uniform!"  and her response was " You just made up colors didn't you..?"

I replied with a very shameful "......yeeeees"

So, the ever resourceful Zygona, pulled up a quiz, so that I could know what house i would belong in based on my personality. I got House Hufflepuff

For those of you who care to read-- this is my test result

"You are nice, aren't you? The kind of nice that takes an active role in civic affairs. The kind of nice that picks up litter off the sidewalk and puts it in the trash. You and your fellow housemates are the sort of reliable, trustworthy people who would spend their own birthdays manning a soup kitchen and joining a protest march, before settling down to a communal meal in which everyone has brought a lovingly-prepared dish.
In short, you're the best friend anyone could ever hope for, and sometimes—in your quieter moments—that leads you to feel a little let down by other people who don't meet those same lofty standards. It's not nice to think poorly of your friends, of course, and you do understand their points of view, but a little more consideration would sometimes be nice. "

So with Zygona's help, I re-drew my uniform and fixed my colors, and there you have it. Bea, of Hufflepuff! I now must honor Zygona by binge watching all the Harry Potter films.

Anywho, it's a pleasure sharing this with you! til next time, Enjoy!

This is really great, the drawing and your story. I took a Harry Potter quiz once and got slitherin, but I tell people who ask I got hufflepuff after my older brother told me they were the bad guys( I hadn't seen any of the movies at the time lol). Keep up the good work. Love your style

I love your story, and I love your self-portrait just as much! Your drawing has such appeal to it. It's just adorable! :3

It's great that you opened up about your gender in this creative way. I'm still not sure why gender is such a touchy issue in terms of how people identify themselves (i.e. a boy wanting to be a girl, vice versa), but honesty is always appreciated! Nice to meet you, Bea.

Did you say you are a girl because you look like a girl (or something like this)? Didn't really get this part, 'cause, you know, you're gender neutral and all... Anyways, lovely drawing. And you look like a really cool person to be friend with!

I'm not bothered by my neutrality online, but i am amused by it when I'm mistaken for a guy, especially when I've said things to indicate otherwise, like refer to myself as a her, or a she. Another thing is, There have been instances where articles have been written about me, referring to me as a man. When it comes to things like that, facts are important. kind of like having a bio written about you, but your name is spelled wrong. Naturally you'd want your name spelled right, because it makes it easier for people to find or identify you. So I made the statement to clear up any confusion.

Wait a second: why does it matter if you are confused for another sex?

You'll still be you.

That's amazing. You sound like someone I would be friends with. I totally get the introvert pretending to be extrovert and sometimes ending up buried under a blanket wanting to be alone.

Have you read the Harry Potter books?

BeaGifted In reply to artofMilica [2015-03-10 04:08:09 +0000 UTC]

I wish I read them! My attention span is too short though. I like, try and fail at reading books sooo bad. ;_;  I usually tell my friends to read stuff and tell me about it, because it's easier than trying to sit myself down. I do read tho, just in short bursts x_x

I'm the opposite there. I get sucked into books so much that they are like portals to those other worlds. I'm not just reading, I'm experiencing everything! It takes me a minute to get back to reality in that state. :-D These days I mostly listen to books while I clean-up and paint.

That must be awesome . the times I've tried to get into reading novels more, I did get wrapped up in them. its just hell trying to get myself to sit down lol. like a doggie circling it's bed, but refusing to lay down kinda thing!  I kind of make up for it in my love of movies and games. I'm a really big fan of things that have a ton of lore in it, and Harry Potter is deff one of those.

Oooooo... If you like games you should check out Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban.  I have the PC version. The graphics are not that great, but it is one of my favourite games.  Saying that, I'm not much of a gamer. :-D Sometimes, I think I watch too much TV.
