This is the real presentation: Random facts about me

I think I should introduce my real self this time.

This entry will be some random facts about me.

  1. My real name is Laura but most of my friends call me Lau.
  2. I am nineteen years old (my birthday is in August)
  3. I live in Cartagena
  4. When I was a child I was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, so it became very difficult for me to make friends, but now I can easily talk to new people. Also, it's one of the reasons why I get obsessed with anything I start to like.
  5. I decided to study English at university because I used to get very good grades at high school without studying anything. I never study the language, I always go to the exams only trusting my knowledge. I got a 10 in a PAU-type exam.
  6. I'm looking forward to November 16th, because that day I'll probably meet one of my best Internet friends (Sam, I know you'll read this because I told you so, hehe).
  7. Music is a very important part of me. I couldn't live without it. My favorite genres are rock and metal, but I also like electronic music.
  8. I started to watch anime a year ago, because a friend recommended me one series and I liked it. I've watched like twenty animes since then. My favorite genre is fantasy.
  9. Some places I'd like to visit: Finland, England, Japan and Germany. I love their cultures.
  10. I don't read only manga, I have a lot of Mortadelo and Filemón comics.
  11. I have a lot of favorite characters
  12. I highly respect Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden's iconic vocalist). He's my hero, because he's the prime example of someone who can do anything he wants if he works for it.
  13. Junk food is another big part of my life. I wouldn't be a person without chocolate, pizza, microwaved food, Coca-Cola...my mother always tries to make saludable food. I'm very special with food.
  14. I like to learn new things, mostly useless trivia.
  15. One of my favorite videogame series is Pokémon. I have been playing Pokémon since I was 5 years old, and I still keep playing the games from time to time.
  16. I can't stand horror movies, but I have watched some gore/horror animes like Higurashi no naku koro ni (in English: When they cry, which is about a series of incidents that happened in a little town called Hinamizawa) and Another, which is about a class who is haunted. Each month someone dies, and there's always an extra student, so they'll have to find him/her.
  17. One of my favorite music genres is Vocaloid. Vocaloid is a voice synthesizer. That means that you buy a "voice" and you can make any song with that library. They're not real people, but a lot of people like me love them. They have anime designs, and most authors use them in their videoclips (called Picture Videos). Some songs are amazing. An example:

And I think I wrote enough facts.
I want to publish an entry about my life on campus, so see you soon!

Introducing Mary Kozakura and my world in general

Oh, well I guess it was about time I would start writing here. Should I introduce myself? Yes? Okay, let's go. Also, I'm going to introduce one of my favorite series: Kagerou Project.

My name is Mary Kozakura and I'm a student of English Philology at the University of Murcia. 'Where do you live?' You may ask. That is top secret information.

My hobbies? I really love watching anime (I love the fantasy genre), reading manga, listening to music (rock, metal and a lot of japanese music) and playing some videogames. Also, suring the web. I've learnt a lot of English just doing these things.

Mary Kozakura
Now, about my nickname...it comes from Kagerou Project, an anime series which I am very fond of. Mary Kozakura is a 1/4 medusa girl who has been living alone in the forest for like 100 years. One day, she meets a boy named Kousuke Seto who becomes her first real friend. Later, they leave the forest, and she joins his gang.

I'm going to describe her design. She has very long, white hair which is decorated with pink bows in the manga; she wears a long blue dress under a white apron. Also, she has pink eyes. In the manga and other sources she goes barefeet, but in the anime she wears brown shoes.
She's very shy when meeting new people and she is not very careful.



The name of the gang is "Mekakushi Dan" (Mekakushi means Blindfold in Japanese, so they'd be called in English "The Blinfold Gang") which is composed of nine members (although there's a zero member).

From left to right: Tsubomi Kido, Kozakura Mary, Kisaragi Shintaro, Kisaragi Momo, Kokonose Haruka, Kousuke Seto, Amamiya Hibiya, Takane Enomoto, Shuuya Kano and Tateyama Ayano.
The only condition to join the gang is to have an eye power. The only way to get an eye power is dying in pairs. So, all members are dead. In this case, Mary's eye power is petrifyng eyes, which works like the mytological medusas' powers. Although she only can petrify someone for a brief time.


Every character has a song, and in this case, Mary's song is "Imagination Forest".


It's about her past. A hundred years ago, she lived with her mother in the forest. One day, she went outside disobeying her mother advices, and then she was attacked by some violent boys. Her mother tried to saved her but finally died after pretrifying them. She lived in the house alone for like a century until a boy who got lost in the forest found her. He showed her that she wasn't alone (at least, that is my interpretation) and brought her to the city.

Well, it's time to finish this entry. I hope you liked it. I tried my best. See you soon!
