Feral Heart

Yo, call me Ash please, as it's what I prefer. Though I won't get fussy over nicknames.
 I know I can seem overly serious and held back at times, but it usually just takes me a while to warm up to people.
 I'd generally describe myself as caring, accepting, understanding and compassionate. But I also have my flaws, so you can decide how you think of me yourself.
 Just to clarify this a bit, I'm in fact female. I generally take on a male persona, so I know that my specific gender can be confusing to many people who don't know me. Don't ask me why I do this, because I honestly have no idea. In that case, I don't mind being referred to as male or female. Either way wouldn't phase me a bit.
