okay so! hello! it’s been a while!
this paragraph is a ramble but gives backstory, you don't have to read it
i am going by pip irl for about 50% of what i do (school + friends, but not home, choir, or climbing) and i’m still a teenager so i feel like pip is okay for me at the moment, but i want a more full version of it that’s still gender neutral for more formal things when i’m older. pip was originally what i picked because it was bestowed upon me by the teenberries and all of my friends when i first told them said that pip suited me so well, so this is pretty much set in stone. my given name also starts with p but is a bit feminine for me and just doesn’t feel right which is why i’m changing it.
gender neutral names that can be long for pip is kind of a hard ask, and a name i’ve already vetoed is peregrine, it’s so not me that i thought i’d clear that first. i also was considering pipaluk but i’m not greenlandic and also it’s not the same i sound which doesn’t really matter i suppose, but mostly the origins was the conflict for this. i also was worried it would read as feminine.
aside from that, i don’t really have any ideas but i’d like to keep the p first initial because i love my initials.
physical + personality description, very rambly
i’m a white teenager from the usa. i’m about 5’3", with short curly dark brown hair, shoulder length if i stretch the curls but it’s a lot shorter curly - think 3a when styled. i have broad shoulders for my size. i also have green eyes with a brown ring (i promise they’re not hazel, it’s straight up different colors). the only piercings i have are normal ear piercings. i’m generally wearing something more feminine, but i love masc outfits too, i just don’t have much in terms of that. i love bright colors and sometimes i’ll wear my own handmade garments, at the moment always crochet, the dress my mom and i made when i was six doesn’t fit anymore.
i’m generally described as bubbly and energetic until i’m not. i consider myself more introverted (i can’t go out with friends more than one day in a row without feeling exhausted) however people who don’t know me well will see me as more extroverted because i tend to be loud (once i’m comfortable) and i know lots of people. my favorite color is purple. i sing in a choir, play guitar, and i am learning viola at school. i played alto sax last year at school and i’m taking it again next year. i consider myself to be a music nerd, as does my strings teacher (highest compliment, she loves me). music theory is an interest of mine, and i am also a climber, not competitive, just for fun (v4-5 bouldering, 5.11a top rope). i have two dogs named jellybean and burger, and i named jellybean when we got her when i was seven. i’m also borderline a part of stage crew at school, i don’t really work shows (busy schedule) but i do lighting hangs and i’ll usher for shows when i have time.
@wishmay said to say i have a good sense of humor but this is debatable.
i am so sorry for forcing you to read all of that
and just a heads up, i am not great about responding to each message (it scares me) but i will read them all for sure!
