Lily, Quiddity et les autres moi

Multiple selves :
Nothing to do with psychology... I'm just a culture thief. In Japanese culture, someone could have several names related to his or her capacities and skills. A craftsman would have first and last names (like everybody esle) but also a craftman's name. And if he plays Shamisen too, he would have another one.
Lily is my name as a figurines maker ; Quiddity is my internet identity (or avatar) ; my last name was given me by my parents.

To play "Portrait chinois" with me and ask a question, write me!
The Portrait chinois by Himène :
If I were a character from a manga? I'd be Shinobu from "Love Hina" (terrific cook, a bit akward, far too nice, and absolutely hopeless with boys)
