I did it about myself. I made all the questions feminine, and wrote about myself in the third person. (I'm weird like that.)
For anybody with the attention span... here it is.

Past failures she would be embarrassed to have people know about: Backing out of a spelling bee in 5th grade.

Other accessories: Tends to wear at least one video game-themed wristband on her left wrist and a watch on her right. Has a mood ring that occasionally is worn on her left thumb. Sometimes wears a necklace which consists of a silver key on a rusty-looking chain. She considers this necklace the key to who she is, and is very careful with it.
Mannerisms: She's either acting spontaneous and the center of attention, or she's off to herself observing silently. She's been referred to as "eccentric" and "crazy" in the past.
Health: She has weak lungs and has to carry an inhaler around in case of flare-ups. She also has nasty anxiety problems, which subject her to random panic attacks and night terrors. Her immune system is weaker than most, but she's otherwise rather healthy.
Speech Patterns: She's prone to using larger words in her general conversation than others, and occasionally throws out a term that needs defining. She's very prone to jump subjects in mid-sentence, as well as sprinkling in cartoon-reference quotes for fun.
Voice: She has a naturally loud voice. She thinks it's not all that feminine.
Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): She really has no one set "style," and classes herself as Undecided.
Intelligence Level: She is highly witty and intelligent, although she tends to dumb herself down as to fit in with others.
Known Languages: English and a tiny bit of Spanish
Long-term goals/desires in life: To do something that inspires others to realize that just because they're "different" doesn't make them outcasts or "weird."

How self-confident is she? Not very. She's very quick to down herself for little things, and is very hard on herself.

How does she believe she is perceived by others? Eccentric, anti-social, weird.
How does she express herself? She expresses herself through her poetry. If she's sad or angry, a poem describing her feelings usually follows. Otherwise, she will bottle it up until it boils over and erupts.

Ill at ease when: If things are silent and still around her; when there is tension between any two people around her; when people are yelling or loud.
Describe her sense of humor: She has a strong sense of humor. Her humor is often witty, quite perverse at times, and very prone to be full of quotes and references from things she's seen on television or the internet. ("Great! I'll grab my stuff!")
Her Personality/Mental/Social Strengths: She is extremely quick-witted and sharp, with a sharper tongue. She is very caring and selfless, and loves to make people happy. She seems to have an atmosphere about her that makes people willing to trust her.
Her Personality/Mental/Social Flaws: She's quick to bash herself for little mistakes and things she can't control. She thinks of herself as a "stair case" and lets people walk all over her. She is quick to appease people to make them happy, even if she has to insult or trash herself and her beliefs.
Biggest Vulnerability (non physical): Her inability to comprehend social behaviors. Even trying to explain the situation makes her feel upset/angry/anxious/depressed.
Optimist or Pessimist: 35% Optimist, 65% pessimist.
Introvert or extrovert: 80& Introvert, 20% extrovert.
Greatest Fear: Being buried alive. The fear developed after three solid weeks of night terrors involving the concept.
Other Fears/Insecurities/Phobias: She fears tight spaces and will not stay in one; silence and darkness together will cause her to become paralyzed and panic; she's terribly afraid of bugs, rodents, and lizards and will nearly become paralyzed at the sight of one.
Peculiarities: A repetitive sound, such as the ticking of a clock, can drive her into panic. She can pick up on someone's emotions without needing to see them or be near them. She can predict how bad a thunderstorm will be with 90% accuracy. She can sing long notes and not much else. She takes her dreams VERY seriously, as most of them are predictions of things that will happen in the future. She cannot sit still and has to bounce her knee, otherwise she'll squirm uncontrollably. She has a natural talent for almost any type of video game related to the Mario brothers.
Biggest regret: Moving away from her old middle school. One of her closest friends hung herself after she moved. If she complains of hallucinating the image of somebody hanging in a corner, she's often on the verge of an emotional collapse.
Biggest accomplishment: Saving four people from suicide when she was twelve years old.
Minor accomplishments: Publishing all 140+ poems of hers to a website. Beating many of her video games with 100% accuracy. Getting into college.

Secret desires: She secretly aspires to become a macabre poet, and hopes that her unconventional methods of poetry will inspire others to not be afraid to show their artistic edges.
Her darkest secret: An incident from childhood she refuses to confide to anybody except her closest acquaintances.
Minor Secrets: She struggled with an awful addiction to sleeping pills. She also struggled with anti-depressants, forcing herself off them after they nearly caused her to kill herself. She's actually more excitable and easier to scare than she likes to give off.
Relationship Skills: She really thinks she doesn't have any, and finds new relationships to sometimes be overwhelming. She desires someone who is smart, witty, loves to be playful and funny, and someone who isn't afraid to be open about himself. Occasionally she can be a bit overbearing and smothering.

Strangers? Probably eccentric and strange.
Friends? Crazy, rebellious, a bit of a loose cannon.

Movie: Ghost Ship, although it gives her nightmares.

Most prized possession: Her mind.
Why? No one can take it from her, and it's the best thing she has to offer.
Describe her sense of morals: In the criminal sense, her morals are black and white. However, when it comes to innocent mischief, her morals leave a lot to be desired.
Describe her etiquette: She doesn't tend to think before she speaks, and sometimes says the wrong thing at the wrong time. She's a bit loud at times. Her etiquette could use improvement, but she tries the best she can.
How does she act in public? Depending on the location. In school she tries to stay quiet and out of the way. With friends, however, she often is the instigator of trouble.
How does she act at home? However she likes, whenever she likes.
How has she most changed from childhood? She used to be quite selfish and mean in her childhood.
How has she remained the same? She's always marched to the beat of her own drum, and probably will until her death. She prides herself on her individuality.
How does this character deal with or react to:
Anger: Tries to store it up, but often takes it out on the wrong person by mistake. Her anger usually boils out in a single, explosive, violent outburst. Long gaps in her conversation can be a sign that she's angry.
Sadness: She also tries very hard to make sure nobody notices her sadness, but usually fails. She'll deny it until it becomes undeniable, and then proceed to abuse herself for her sorrows. If she talks with a lot of periods or seems short in response, it's a red flag that she's depressed or bothered.
Conflict/Danger: Depending on the situation, she will either panic or take charge of the scenario. If someone close to her is more afraid than she is, she oftens gains the missing courage from her friend. She has stood up to her paralyzing fear of rodents in the past to calm down her mother.
Fear: Usually handles it by freezing up or shuddering, though occasionally she can channel it into something more productive. More often than not, though, she'll become paralyzed.
Change: She is very habitual and doesn't like change that much.
Loss: She takes losses very hard, especially if they are her family or loved ones. She has a great deal of difficulty overcoming these losses. For instance, after 6 years since her grandmother's passing, she still cannot look into the jewelry box left behind.
Homosexuality: So long as it's not forced upon her, she is very tolerant of it.
Pain: She has a high tolerance for pain. What most people would consider a 10 on a 1-10 scale, she'd consider a 2. She'll hide her pain or sickness until it's almost too late. Wincing or silence is a sign of soreness.
Stress/Pressure: Stress easily takes its toll on her, making her irritable or anti-social. Again, she tends not to tell anybody that she's under pressure.
Guilt: Guilt devastates her and can send her spiraling into prolonged episodes of depression. She'll down herself and bash herself until there's nothing left.
Being wrong: While she doesn't seem to like being wrong, she'll accept that it's probably true.
Being criticized: Occasionally takes it the wrong way and gets very snippy in response.
Praise: Often nitpicks it and looks for a loophole, due to her self-confidence issues.
Love: She finds no greater joy in life than giving and receiving love and affection.
Being hated: She seems to find some strange joy in being hated, and will do anything to reinforce the reason someone hates her.
Public Humiliation: She always points out where she does something stupid in public, and doesn't believe public humiliation could really happen to her.
What does she want out of life? To be appreciated and respected for who she is and what she decides to do with herself. She also wants to pass along the feelings to anyone else who may be in her situation.
What would she like to change in her life? Where she lives, as it's nowhere near close enough.
What motivates her? Having someone behind her to support her.
Why? She wants to make people happy and proud of her.
What discourages her? Criticism.
Why? She takes it harder than she should.
What most describes her personality? An emotional loose cannon. A quiet rebel.
Religion: Christianity, baptist.
Does she believe in a god or goddess? Yes.
What are her spiritual beliefs? If you are good and believe in God, then you will go to heaven upon your death.
Is religion or spirituality a part of her life? Slightly.
If so, what role does it play? She tries to treat everybody as they should be treated... provided they do the same in return.
Superstitions: She's a firm believer that ghosts exist, due to having many encounters over the course of her life. She doesn't really believe much in luck.
