Nguyễn Huỳnh Trà My
Hello, please allow me to send everyone reading these lines my best wishes. Please allow me to briefly introduce myself. My name is Nguyen Huynh Tra My, my English name is Warlis. I come from Vietnam, live in the central area of Ho Chi Minh City. This year I just turned 18, I am an active, adaptable and sociable Pisces girl. When I have free time, besides playing games, I also like reading books and listening to music. I have an endless passion for horror, detective, fantasy novels and books about psychology. Being a water sign person with the symbol of two fish facing each other shows a somewhat opposite personality depending on the situation. Warlis is a serious person, a perfectionist in important matters, but at the same time, I am also an easy-going, friendly person who is easy to socialize with.
Ballad music or music with melodious folk elements like classical music is what heals my soul during anger.
And that's all about me. I'm glad you took the time to read everything I wrote.
