Finally, an interestingish surveythingamy!
How to spot the Chessypig in a crowd:
The first clue is the hair. 'bout waist-length at the moment, probably in a ponytail. In fact, that's probably the only clue, except for the terminally scared expression on her face from being in the middle of a crowd. (You can't even watch for the purple any more - I have a range of pink and blue stuff which I'm equally likely to be wearing, and if you accost everyone with pink, purple or blue on you're going to find a lot of people other than the Chessypig...) Then again, you can probably spot her by what's absent - i.e. makeup (well, sensibly applied makeup - see Squiggles for Chessypig-style makeup :-) ) and holes where there should not be holes (i.e. in ears etc.).
The apparent nature of the Chessypig:
Uhm... you tell me. I've never been able to work out what image I'm projecting.
The actual nature of the Chessypig:
Random. Although you can probably make a fairly good guess at the current moodset if you know which point on the Dreaded Monthly Cycle it is at. Has a general belief that she's utterly worthless and boring at certain times, then goes all hyper-singing-dancing and skipping-through-the-fields, then gets horribly frustrated at everything in general and nothing in particular and makes growling noises that irritate her parents. Gets very respectable marks in tests (in the 80-90% region mostly) and beats herself up about not getting 100%. Also beats herself up about not being sociable enough, spending too much time on the computer, not spending enough time on the computer, and other circular arguments. Loves God and sings too much.
Common reactions to the Chessypig:
'Aww, isn't it sweet...'
'We tried to talk to her, but she's, like, so impossible, you know? Comes out with, like, all these long words, and, like, she does all that maths! *shudder*'
What not to say to the Chessypig:
'Wouldja like to come clubbing? We can have a few drinks, get a bit merry, y'know...' (yes, actual quote.)
'C'mon, it'll be a laugh!'
'Just lighten up, will you?'
Everything she says back at her in a stupid voice - this will probably make her cry
