I think you look rather like an assassin, scoping her mark. You have the severe Nordic focus, the cigarette, which signals, "I don't GAF, or confirms the adage, "if she smokes, she pokes" Plus, you have the nice fingernails to accent a fancy cover for a formal ball, say in a castle, where you live. But, the casual observer might miss that fact that your trigger finger is kept short. You can't risk getting that caught in the mechanism when you need the kill shot. and the pinky finger is short so that it slips into the loop on the dagger handle you keep strapped to your inner thigh. You want to be careful when you unsheathe that bad girl.

But, I could be wrong...
