dia duit

|| HALLO || HELLO || DIA DUIT ||

hi there! my name is claire reailtín christine and i look like this  -  my middle name reailtín means little star in irish, it was originally supposed to by my name, but my mother figured nobody would be able to spell it; she was right about that. i was born in ireland, dublin into a family of five including myself, i have two siblings - louise | 24 | female + seán | 23 | male. i am the youngest of my whole family right now, being 17 years old.

we have a load of animals, a lot who may look familiar since i use them for some of my warrior cats! my own cat is called "eevee" like the pokemon yes, she looks like this she is around 6 / 7 months old and i adopted her from the animal shelter i was working at over the summer after falling completely in love with her after 2 days in the cattery because i'm weak, on here you can see her portrayed as "spottedpaw". my sisters cat is called "roxy" she looks like this, she is about 4 years old and is portrayed as "longtail" on here. my third family cat is oscar and he looks like this, he is about 14/15 years old and is a big ginger baby i have known since i was a wee bab myself, he's the sweetest drooly mess in the world and i haven't yet made him a warrior.  i have one dog, a greyhound named hector and he looks like this, he's got a big long nose and it a yellow doof who i also adore very much.

i speak three languages, one fluently the others are not as good, these are english, irish and german. i study 6 subjects - english, maths, german, art, biology, and geography, i am not academic at all so i hold about a c average in everything except art. i hope to become an animator or an illustrator and plan to study either of these in college next year. i am heterosexual, probably, i don't really know but thats the way it's been for the past while so lets go with that. i am for equality for the lgbtq community and i am a feminist, pro-abortions and a fighter for animal rights though i don't have a vegan diet because i can't afford it right now since it's really expensive over here for that stuff. i'm not super political, i won't ever force my views onto anyone else and i won't discuss them with anyone who won't listen though this doesn't mean i won't be your friend! i believe someones views on things are only a single part of them that can develop and change over time.

 i am christian, raised in a christian home with one sibling who is an atheist, i am fascinated my all religions and adore pretty much all the stories and meanings they all have. i believe in love and marriage for everyone no matter the sexuality or gender, i'm incredibly open minded, like really open minded, i'll listen to anything you want to tell me even if i disagree. 

i'm a dancer, i practice ballet and i play the viola and ukulele and i can sing and draw. i play far to many video games [ assassins creed, anything nintendo, halo, cod, jak and daxter ], i watch way too much tv [ dragon ball/z/gt/super, once upon a time, supernatural, red vs blue, rwby, attack on titan, free! ], i listen to a wide variation of music literally anything though my favourite group is pentatonix right now. 

i suffer with severe anxiety with a fear of vomiting, i struggle with it daily. i have trichotillomania - when you pull out any hair from your body, it can be seen as a form of self harm though i have it under control. i have mild scoliosis from ballet though it's being treated and asthma since i was a child. i also have dyslexia which made me have to drop the subject of irish last year because i couldn't write it well enough. i am open about my faults and mental illness because i believe they are not something to hide - no living creature is perfect and our flaws are apart of us. i have struggled with anxiety since i was 7 and have been to therapy twice for it, going back for a third time soon. it is important to get help, and no matter what situation you're in with it, it gets better. as someone who has seen what it's like to be without anxiety for years and months at a time, i can tell you that life is worth living and that you can absolutely find a solution to your problem. stay strong!

i have been roleplaying since i was 8, beginning on an online game called impressive title, inspired by the lion king. i made most of my online friends there, kaya, baylee, katie, aaron and some many more who i love dearly. three of them, silverfang, torn and aaron led me to warrior cat roleplay through the website of fade away. at the time, i had never read any warrior cat books so i was just dancing around with whitestar pretending i knew what was going on - but i really didn't! i met shizuka and tygerz on that site which led me to these starry nights after fade away closed, and that soon led to here!

and thats me, thanks for reading!

if you can dream it, it can happen

I love your kitties!

I also have trichotillomania. I have had it since I was either 6 or 8 and I am 17 right now. I went to therapy a couple times for it but I am a really closed off person and they weren't getting anywhere with me so my mom stopped taking me. I have it under control for the most part but I still have trouble with it. It's not related to my stress or anything, I just do it sometimes. I feel like the psychiatrist and my mom were lying to me because they told me it was "just a bad habit" but a year or two ago I was in health class and found out that it is called a mental disease, so it made me put up another wall up because I hate people lying to me and it just feels like my mom was lying to me for all those years...

Anyway, sorry 'bout the rant, but I just had to get it out... =^.^=

I also started roleplaying when I was 8 and I started out on Neopets, came to the first TSN, went to Howrse, and have finally come back to TSN again. xD

Ah I have severe emetophobia (fear of vomiting) too!! ;o; I haven't found many people who share that anxiety.
Also fellow Christian <3 But you probably knew that already. XD

I started roleplaying in Feral Hearts which you probably know is the thing that happened as sort of a second version of Impressive Title <3 So many good memories there! :'3
From Feral Heart's forums, I found Fadeaway being advertised <33 I remember confusedly asking the staff in Fadeaway where the downloadable map was, because I thought it was another Feral Hearts based Warrior roleplay XDD

Ah it's so nice to see other people with trich and eme, it's oddly comforting to know you're not alone with it? And Mint I totally get that! My mom thought it was a habit and her solution was to "just stop", it's nice to know that it's not just a bad habit because you can approach it in a different way to solve it!

and Shizu, I do know FH! I was a mod ingame and on the forums for a while before I left, it never really grabbed my fancy like OIT sadly. :c FA was so much fun, I remember the chat box having some good chats.:'D

[Minteh Freshness]

Yeah, my mom used to tell me that is was just a bad habit like biting your fingernails. Just sit on your hands whenever you get the urge. It's really not that simple. At least not to me. And it is a bit nicer truly knowing I'm not the only one with it. I know I was told that others had it too, but since I never saw anyone else with it, I guess I never truly believed that, ya know?
