[hider=first impressions for Wendy]

[b]Jacques[/b]

I do not know what to make of this man. He seems like...what is the word for it in English? A donkey, or an ass? I do feel bad for saying that about him, but it is the truth. He is very angry most of the time, for what I feel is almost no reason. I am sure there is a good side to everyone though, and that includes Jacques.

[b]Ruben[/b]

Ruben is a really nice person. I do not know him all too well, but from what I can see he is much more considerate of people than his twin brother. I can tell Jacques and him both love each other very much. He is calmer than Jacques by quite a lot, and I have never seen Ruben lose his temper before.

[b]Mahmud[/b]

Mahmud seems to be a very thoughtful man. He is very kind, and helpful as well. I really cannot say too much about him though, because I have not gotten a chance to know him. I can relate with him easily, more so than Jacques and Ruben because they are much younger than I am. All four of us came to this country from another nation, and I feel there is an unspoken connection between immigrants. 

[b]Piper[/b]

Piper talks very often, but I do not mind that. She seems-to put it bluntly-a tad self absorbed. Piper's version of self absorbed is not a bad thing though, it is more of a confidence in herself from what I can see. She is quite pretty, something I would have been just a little bit jealous of in the past.

[b]Naomi[/b]

Naomi reminds me of us Chinese in that she is proud of her heritage, her family, and her culture. She does not talk as much, certainly not as much as Piper, but I think she is loyal and dedicated. Her power is the most interesting one that I have encountered thus far. I believe that if we ever put together a plan to defeat the Technopath, Naomi will most definitely play a part in it.

[b]Jeff[/b]

Jeff is friendly if a bit quiet sometimes. He is very optimistic, and as the English saying goes, he "looks on the bright side". He definitely cares about others, as he is always coming to me after getting into some sort of fight above ground. I do not know him too well, but we have conversed before.

[b]Katerina[/b]

I can tell that Katerina is very intelligent, even from our limited interaction. She is...people smart? Is that what English-speakers call it? She seems to share the same aversion to violence and conflict that I do, which I feel is a good quality. One should not hurt someone because they disagree with them.

[b]Phoebe[/b]

Phoebe is extremely outgoing, and smiles a lot. I like that about her, even though she is much younger than I am. Sometimes she is sad or upset about things that I find are trivial, but I am sure I was like that as well when I was her age. Phoebe is curious and enthusiastic, from what I can see. She is agitated easily, although I do not blame her for this. 

[b]Kayin[/b]

Kayin...like Jacques, I am not too sure what to make of her. She has a troubled past, that much is clear to me. We have not spoken much, as she is more on the reserved side. Her power definitely is useful, and I feel that in a combative situation she would fare far better than I would. I get mixed signals from her, and I respect that she does not seem to desire to socialize with me-or with anyone else, for that matter.
