Physically, she's a lot like me. Skinny to the point of having higher-than-normal muscle definition (but she's bulkier than me, for very obvious reasons). Same skin tone, hair color, and eye color. Some SEA features, especially her eyes. She is quite a bit shorter than I am, however. Also more feminine (but still genderqueer), though that's more a limitation of the character creator than anything else (yes, that goes for RL too - oh, how I would love to be able to create my own body...)
Mentally, however, she's the opposite in many ways. She's FAR more social, despite being about as introverted as I am. She has considerably more confidence, possesses great martial skill where I have none, has very little shame where my own embarrassment tends to be crippling, and is far more likely to provoke people intentionally, often for the fun of it. To be honest... she's a lot of what I would like to be, though naturally there are some qualities that I would leave given the option.
Oh, she's also a lot less empathetic than I am. I'm a regular bleeding heart. She's more (much more) likely to turn the other cheek than aid someone in need. Part of it is undoubtedly due to exposure - she sees a lot more terrible shit on a regular basis up-close-and-personal than I do, after all, and so much exposure to that sort of thing inevitably produces desensitization unless you have unlimited resources and the ability to fix problems at the root (which she does not).
Qualities we share? Well... our views on sex, and our views on property are pretty much the same. That's probably not a good thing to admit given the kinds of things she gets up to, but that's how it is. There's not much beyond that that I can really think of. Quite a wide gulf between our personalities, I would say.
