EXTENDED PROFILE
» APPEARANCE: Patchouli appears in the teenager/young adult range physically. She is fairly short and has long lavender hair that is described by others as immaculately cared for. She is very pale and her eyes a bit heavy looking due to her health and aversion to the outdoors. The way she dresses makes her figure impossible to know, but a popular theory is that her lack of activity and poor eating habits make her a bit chubby under it all.
» PERSONALITY: Patchouli is a shut-in bookworm first and foremost. It's a key part of her character, for the most part. Because of this, her social mannerisms are a bit odd. She talks down to most people, even if only subtly, but not in a manner that's meant to insult them. It's typical of people with stunted social growth, after all, to speak incredulously in situations and not see anything at all wrong with what they're saying. Therefore, she often finds herself insulting people without realizing it. Or caring.

Beyond that, Patchouli actually is not a bad person. She only attacks people who attack her first, with the exception of those who interfere in her library. And, at times, she expresses an honest interest in forming friendships with others. However, her unwillingness to leave her comfort zone, the library, hinders this greatly. Outwardly, she acts as if this isn't something that bothers her, and even expresses surprise when people like Marisa Kirisame refer to her as a "friend", but in all likelihood it probably does get to her that she has so few people she considers close. The only friend she's managed to consistently be around is Remilia Scarlet, but Patchouli also serves as her tutor, so even that is a bit strained at best.

All in all, Patchouli is much like any nerdy shut-in type. She is interested in the things outside her comfort zone, but doesn't seem to have the chutzpah to actually pursue any of those interests.

Emotionally, her strength probably lies in her ability to keep a level head in tense situations. She rarely gets worked up over anything. at least outwardly. People in Scarlet Mansion often come to her with their problems, hoping her immense knowledge and ability to look at things objectively will help them. However, her social awkwardness is a big factor. She has a bad habit of offending people without even trying. She will often say things completely not meant as insulting. This makes it rather difficult for her to make friends, unfortunately.

Mentally, she has very few weaknesses. However, when she IS outwitted, she often finds herself too focused on finding a means to place herself back on top and will forget what it is she's supposed to be doing. This sort of single-minded determination is another thing that can lead her to make mistakes she never would have otherwise. It's not emotionally worked up, so much as she takes her mind off of things she shouldn't.

In rare cases, she CAN become outwardly emotionally bothered to the point of looking a bit crazy. This often is due in fact to her lack of ability in expressing herself emotionally in a manner that is clear to others. Canonly, in Subeterranean Animism, Marisa Kirisame has trouble telling what Patchouli is really thinking as she tries to aid the other, given her emotional responses to some situations seem awkward or just wrong.
