I realized that I spend an awful lot of time with you folks, but know very little about you as players. So here's a variant of Chris's post, where we can talk about what we do instead of what we don't.

Levi never studied Classical History, she can't read Ancient Greek, and she didn't move across the country to study Special Education policy and practice. In fact, I'm pretty sure Levi never went to school.
Although she has a knack for office supplies, Levi will never have to spend her days toiling in yhr Excel mines.
Levi doesn't want to teach small children.
Levi neither runs nor participates in tabletop games.
Levi probably wouldn't read all of Jane Austen's novels in two months.
Levi does not know most of the words to 10 Things I Hate About You and she's never seen the Vampire Diaries.
Levi didn't know Nolan well and she sure isn't dating his corpse.

So, even though it is a toss up as to which of us is more of an over-excitable spaz, Levi is not Whitney.

I like this

Hannah is not Wendy.
Hannah has never played midfield in a state soccer tournament, and she certainly never kickboxed.
Hannah has never sprained both her ankles during Varisty try outs and wrapped them up with duct tape and metal to compete (and we wonder why I have ankle issues!)
Hannah was never forced into figure skating or girl scouts by her mother in an attempt to make her more feminine
Hannah never competed in Junior Classical League events in high school or learned to read/write Latin
Hannah would never date a man who wrote, in pen, on his pants. She'd insist he at least embroider the equations.

Oooh, I like this version!

Doc Sophie never lived on sailboat as a child.
Neely was never a preschool teacher.
The Spider doesn't currently (or ever, really) work as Accounts Payable.
Molly isn't an ordained, legally recognized Reverend.
Grace never worked in every single aspect of theatre, from onstage to the box office and EVERY tech position in between and behind those two things.
Before her not-so-tragic death, Kay never did event planning.
Before her far-more-tragic death, Alis never dated/lived with Blazer, or Jeb, or Washington, or the entire Hive.

However, every character I play shares Amber's personal belief that being passionate about SOMETHING-ANYTHING is one of the most important things in life.

Let's give this a shot;

Mic is neither an artist nor a writer.
Mic probably wouldn't be too happy spending her entire day reading book after book.
Mic doesn't own cats, and has never had to fend said cat away from various foods (pizza, sandwiches, etc) before they get carried off.
Mic is not 25, nor is she engaged, nor is she happily polyamorous. In fact, she's never had a relationship.
Mic doesn't get stupidly-excited over new pieces of costuming and garb.
Mic doesn't have 3 younger sisters, nor is she the oldest sibling.
Mic doesn't knit, make jewelry, or have any interest in learning how to spin.
Nor does she have this weird fear of looking up into the night sky.
Mic has no interest in getting better self-esteem so she can sing publicly and not go weak-kneed.
Mic also has no ability to change accents mid-word.

However, Michelle is part of my middle name.
And anyone who's seen me before game-on knows how derptastic I can be.
(I'M SO BORING)
