"Nostalgia"
Nostalgia is a time-traveler. She loved the idea of traveling, moving from one place to another and seeing different things, people, the works. She was a cultured, adventurous individual. But she's seen what she needed to see and decided to explore time periods. People say she is constantly in denial, leaving the present to explore the past.
She constantly traveled through time and explored the many time periods she went to. She met people, tried their cuisine, read their books, and said goodbye before she got too carried away she'd rather stay than go back to the present.
She was intelligent. A nice person. The kind that you could easily be friends with and talk for hours on end about things that interested and annoyed her. It was so easy to have a conversation with this person because she could carry the discussion regardless of which topic it would be about. And the way she explained things. Look at her gestures, look at that gleam in her eye and the composed manner with which she would talk. She never seemed to shout but you know that with that look in her eye and that eloquent voice and those gestures that speak volumes, she could persuade, motivate, inspire, and entertain.
But despite her charming features and the vibrant way with which she carried herself, she was ever reserved. Was it that head of hers that seemed to big for her body, probably because of all the ideas she carried? Or maybe it was those legs that were a bit scrawny because of walking a lot and travelling. She knew her physical attributes were un-likeable but she compensated for these physically inadequate traits by her intelligent and charming demeanor.
Before you could catch her, she'll be gone and back in time.

This tiny write-up was inspired by the movie I'm currently watching, "Midnight in Paris". It's not very good, I know. It isn't fine writing hence there's a huge, track-and-field sized area for improvement. Feel free to critique! Although when you do, I sincerely hope you know your stuff.
"No subject is terrible if the story is true, if the prose is clean and honest and if it affirms courage and grace under pressure." Ernest Hemingway
