45}} This troper himself can qualify; as a male example, of course. I am very talented at baking, cooking, cleaning, and love doing all kinds of housework. I'm quite intelligent, I love to read and I LOVE learning, but a little bit "ditzy" in the "pure" sense. I'm kind, sweet, and love meeting new people and tries very hard to be a likeable person. I'm honest and compassionate, friendly to animals, and love stories, but I'm also not afraid to dispense sharp advice to those I care for. I have dark hair and eyes, and I love to dress classy and wear plenty of black. I'm also quite humble, and I never like to show off. I love music, and even though I don't play an instrument, I would really love to learn one day, preferably the harp or the piano.

Can I date you!?

My mom qualifies. She rules the home and can be strict but fair, and she is always gracious in mixed company (when just around us, however, she can be just as crazy as all five of us kids put together). She appears to be an "ideal" housewife: she keeps a clean house and clean kids, has soft blonde PowerHair, and makes food so delicious it will make you cry. But do NOT mess with her. She gets up a five in the morning to do Cross Fit, has done a triathlon and a half-marathon, and could probably kick your sorry ass in minutes. And she has a degree in Speech Communications, so she knows how to talk so that people will listen.

This troper's grandmother was a perfect example of the old-fashioned '50s housewife. She could make all her own clothes and curtains, cook from scratch with no pre-prepared ingredients, repair furniture and much more, yet ran the household with a fist of iron ... which is probably why at her funeral, no one except Troper herself remembered her for anything other than cooking, cleaning or running around after them. It broke Troper's heart.

A (male) character in this troper's RP-verse is YamatoNadeshiko, big time. He's soft-spoken, patient and polite by nature, very nurturing (and boy howdy, do people need it), protective of children, and always dresses in neat, somewhat old-fashioned clothes. He even looks like a classic Yamato Nadeshiko... sort of. He's generally quite timid, but he can be downright deadly if he's pushed too far. Although he has a lot of issues (he's a reformed Yangire, for one thing. Long story.), they only motivate him to try harder to be "good" in general.

This troper plays this trope straight in some ways, but not so much in others. She's quite girly, soft-spoken, and well-mannered, loves cute things, enjoys taking care of people and making them happy and is something of a FriendToAllLivingThings ''and'' children, not to mention enjoys cooking, and can do just about any kind of household chore, including ironing and sewing. But she's also got various insecurities, pride issues, and a fairly bad temper when things don't go her way, which she tries to suppress as much as possible, with mixed results (and she's not of Japanese heritage either; the closest thing she has to a heritage is Eastern-European Jew, and she looks the part).

This troper could be considered a subversion- quiet, determined, polite, good at cooking, good with children and animals, intelligent, with strong MamaBear tendancis, and pale with long brown hair. However, I'm also a snarky, spacey, klutzy DitzyGenius who weilds a FryingPanOfDoom.
