About
OPENNESS : HIGH Kasey likes trying new things when they can shove past their anxiety about stuff. They love trying new foods and stuff because...... food is Good and low-risk and there's so MUCH of it... it's All Tastey. They love exploring, in the real world and the digital, and want to learn as much as they can (though they're a bit on the lazy side, so the enthusiasm for knowledge is often tempered). They get really nervous about being "good enough" at new things when pressure is involved, and so tend to avoid things where their performance will be judged. They're relatively creative and like doing art and writing projects.
CONSCIENTIOUSNESS : LOW Though Kasey loves starting projects, they do have a hard time completing all of them. They're more of an ideas person, throwing out plan after plan to be taken up or scrapped later. If something doesn't hold their interest, they have no qualms about dropping it. They tend to be distracted somewhat easily, and have a preference for winging things. This often translates into flexibility as well. They will not hesitate to jump onto something that's already started, or pick something up where it was left a year ago, or alter plans as needed.
Some part of their fickleness is due to a lack of confidence; they tend to get overwhelmed by tasks and people (or more specifically, by their perceived inability to handle said tasks and people). They have a tendency to try to come back to things once they feel more confident.
EXTROVERSION : MEDIUM Kasey is very firmly ambiverted; they need time with friends, and need time to recharge after a lot of socialization. They tend to get bored and restless when left alone for too long. They very much enjoy being the center of attention when they're feeling up to it, but they need to feel pretty comfortable with their position in a group to be able to do so. They tend to be friendly and open towards strangers, generally trusting, and all-around pretty kind. They sometimes have a hard time maintaining relationships, though, as they have a handful of self-confidence issues and have a VERY hard time setting boundaries with anyone (including people they're very comfortable with otherwise). They Know, Conceptually, That Doing This Is Bad. AND YET,
AGREEABLENESS : HIGH They're generally VERY interested in other people. They like learning about them, they like talking to them, they like getting the full picture of others' lives. They can be very empathetic when it's called for, and love helping others when they have the energy for it. They do tend to retreat without warning when they feel overwhelmed, though. Their lack of boundaries usually means this happens Frequently. they're doing their best.
NEUROTICISM : HIGH "HRHHRHGHG DO PEOPLE LIKE ME? EVIDENCE POINTS STRONGLY TO YES, AND YET, HERE I AM, WORRYING ABOUT THIS 24/7, ALSO IT'S NOT LIKE IT EVEN MATTERS? AND YET IT DOES!! WE'RE SOCIAL CREATURES!! WE NEED HUMAN INTERACTION!! HOW DO I TALK TO PEOPLE WITHOUT BEING AWKWARD I DON'T KNOOOOW..... HRGHHGHGHGHGHG anyways im gay and have a complex about dudes specifically bye." also they have PTSD so it's like an extra lil layer of frosting on the anxiety cake
Fun facts
She hates cucumbers.
She also regularly forgets glaringly obvious facts about herself, instead remembering about once every year or so and acting like it's a big discovery. Examples include: that she doesn't like most people, that she's pretty judgmental internally, that she's smart, that people find her likeable, etc.
Background
very blatant self-insert. like. this is just me. everything here is basically autobiographical with some tweaks. koro is just an amalgamation of people i've been close to through my life with a HEALTHY dash of projection and wish-fulfillment.
