Sorting is done quite easy here at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. We know that most school have this special item that sings or you put something on that decides. Here, we don't have anything like that. Instead before your arrival you should have filled out a tiny little application, which would have allowed us to now a little more about you, other then that you are a witch/wizard. Once you get here, you will put that application into our flaming goblet and within seconds it turns the color of your house. Bontecou has orange flames, Molyneux has purple flames, and Swithin has red flames.
You should have read everything on the site, it is very important that you do so. If you have not, click the links above they will send you directly to them.
**Appearance can either be a picture of your character, as long as it is not HUGE, or you can write up a description. Personality and History is were I'm looking for at least a paragraph for each. Bloodline, not EVERYONE can be pureblood or a veela. **

Full Name Ann Marie Clarissa Belmont
Bloodline Half-Veela
Appearance
Personality Ann Marie is a bold girl. She's not afraid to speak her mind and a lot of times that gets her into trouble. She's snarky and sarcastic and really witty. She's pretty crazy too. She's usually the one who's throwing the most snowballs in a snowball fight and the one laughing the most. She's random and at one moment she could be talking about clouds and the next moment kittens. She has a temper as well. She flares up really easily and when you cross her when she's in a bad mood you're definitely in for it.
History Ann Marie Clarissa Belmont was born on October 30th 1992. She was a miracle child for the couple. Her mother, a full veela, was in her late 30's when she had her and she was told she wasn't able to have children. The couple was heartbroken until they recieved news that Catalina Belmont was prenant. She was born later on that year and her parents couldn't have been happier.
When Ann Marie was 5 years old her father got a muggle disease called cancer. It was brain cancer and there was no cure. He died 6 months after he was diagnosed and the family was heartbroken. Her mother fell into a depression for a few months which caused Ann Marie to have to fend for herself, and at 5 years old that was nearly impossible. She almost died of malnutrition and she had to be put into foster care for awhile.
When she was 9 years old her mother got better and she was able to live with her again. In the beginning it was a rocky relationship but soon Ann Marie grew to trust her mother again. They became good friends as well as close family. Ann Marie and her mother do almost everything they possibly can together when they can because they are both so busy.
Roleplay Sample Ann Marie glanced around the crowd, she wasn't familiar with anyone there. She picked her trunk up and dragged it to the big doors. She tucked a stray piece of brown hair behind her ear smiled, she knew she was going to like it here. She readjusted her skirt a straitened her hair down with her hand. She was nervous, there was no doubt about that but she was more excited than she was nervous. She couldn't wait to get started on everything. She knew that this year was going to be great. She looked at the huge castle and sighed, it was beautiful.
Ann Marie waited patiently for the administration to call her name. When they finally did, she couldn't have been any more nervous. What will happen if they don't sort me? What if I'm not magical like I thought? What if I'm not good enough? Ann Maire shook the thoughts from her head and thought, well here goes...

Full Name ;; Isabelle Hoffman
Bloodline ;; Pure-blood
Appearance ;; Standing at a height of 5’6”, Isabelle is a very agile girl. The only thing that Isabelle is unsure about is the fact that she's a mix between short and tall. Her mother is shorter than her, standing at 5'2" while her father stands at 5'3".
Isabelle has dark brown hair that trails down her back to about the middle, ending off in small curls. She loves her hair since it shows off her heritage just like her soft, pale skin does. Isabelle is part Irish which gives her that soft, pale skin that she simply adores. Set into her face and contrasting only slightly with her dark brown hair is her bright brown eyes which she got from her father. Her eyes are one of the few things she got from her father even though that’s only what her mother told her.
Going down from her eyes, Isabelle has full on pinkish-red lips that she hardly ever applies lipstick to. She loves the natural pink-like color that they have and only applies red lipstick when she’s dressing up. The red works better with her appearance unlike any other kind of color.
Heading down from there, Isabelle has a sort of hour glass figure meaning she has a large chest but not too large along with some nice, curvaceous curves. Heading down from her waist, Isabelle has long legs that go on for miles as the saying goes. Her legs are more muscles than anything which she’s glad about. She has hardly any fat on her legs or arms, only muscles which she really likes. She doesn’t want to be a heavy set girl like some of the girls she’s seen.
Personality ;; Isabelle is a very interesting girl once you get to know her. At first she may come off as quiet and not very outspoken towards things but that changes once you get to know her. She tries not to let others hurt her since she’s been hurt in the past. Not only by children her own age but also by her father, who left when she was a young girl. Isabelle has learned from what her father did to her and she’s promised herself that she won’t subject her children to that kind of situation.
As mentioned before, Isabelle is certainly not the quiet girl when you finally get to know her though that can take a while, depending on how you act towards her. Isabelle begins to open slowly towards others and lets them into her life, though only a few can make it all the way into her life. Her best friend being one of those. Isabelle does however care for the friends she does make and tries to do whatever she can for them. She hates to see her friends upset and she never, ever wants to be the person that goes and makes them upset. That would send her over the edge and into the depression she suffered when she was younger. Although not many knew she was in a depressing state until it was over.
Isabelle can either be your best friend or your worst nightmare. If you get her fired up, Isabelle can go on for hours, yelling at whoever has made her angry. She's a very stubborn girl once she's put into her anger mode as some would say and its hard to get her out of it. The best way to make her happy again or at least close to it is by making her laugh. Isabelle loves to laugh and loves anyone that can make her laugh. It makes her feel normal which is what some activities can't do for her.
History ;; It was a bright, spring-winter like morning when Moria Hoffman gave birth to her daughter Isabelle. The only person she had by her side that day was her sister. Her husband, Derek, was off at a Death Eater's meeting where he was getting his dark mark placed on his arm. Neither Moria or Isabelle knew about that until years later.
Growing up for Isabelle was hard due to the fact that she didn't have much of a father figure. Derek was always out and it was his fault that he didn't come around much. He only came around on her second and tenth birthdays. It was on the tenth one that he really made a difference in her life. He had been giving her a present when he decided to give her something that she never wanted to see in her entire life well on him at least. She had seen the dark mark on his arm but at her age she didn't understand what it meant. So she told her mother who in turn sent her father away and made sure that he couldn't return to their house unless he by-passed a spell that she had put up.
When Isabelle was old enough, she received her acceptance letter from Beauxbatons. Now unlike other children, Isabelle wasn't all that excited to go. She was worried about leaving her mother in the chance that her father might come back and do something to her but her mother insisted. So off she went to Beauxbatons, scared during the day until she was put into her house. The students she met in that house were nice to her and she was glad to have made friends so quickly. One of those friends being John Dekker. He had introduced her to others and even showed her around school. It was his house that she would be living at for the years to come.
The living at his house part though didn't happen until she was in her second year. It was during the summer before that year that her mother sent her there with all of her things and a note attached to her chest telling his parents that she wasn't sure when Isabelle could return home. Isabelle moved into their house and soon grew accustomed to living in the room right next to John's. Though during the first few nights she had spent the night in his room, sleeping in his bed with him while she tried to keep herself from crying over the situation she had been thrown into.
Now, years later, Isabelle is still living in John's house. She's starting to really hate living there only because she doesn't always feel like she belongs there. She's hoping to find some way to move out and stop living off of them but she hasn't found a way yet. Plus there's the fact that she might just be developing feelings for her best friend. Isabelle is a very confused and emotionally beaten girl this year and there isn't much anyone can do about it.
Roleplay Sample ;; A gentle breeze swept across the grounds as Isabelle made her way along the stone path, heading towards the lake. She was eager to join a group of her friends for a nice relaxing break from studying by the lake water. The hours she had spent studying was still fresh in her mind and she wasn't really in the mood to spend anymore hours studying. That wouldn't be very fun but being outside was. Maybe they would even get a chance to go swimming which is why Isabelle was wearing a nice bikini underneath her tank top and shorts. Even if they wouldn't, Isabelle could still get a good tan in before the end of the day.
As she neared the lake, Isabelle noticed she was the only one there so far. She didn't really mind though. She knew the others would be coming along soon since they said they were all eager for a day where they could just relax instead of worrying about the next exam coming up. Isabelle laid her towel down on the soft grass and sat down next to it, wanting to feel the soft green grass underneath her. She slid off her sandals and wiggled her toes in the grass, sighing softly. Ever since she was little, Isabelle loved the feeling of grass under her feet. Occasionally she would get a ladybug crawling over her feet but she never cared much. She loved all those types of bugs, other ones though she didn't really like but she didn't worry about them crawling over her feet as she sat there.
Not caring that she would be sitting there for hours, Isabelle sighed again and looked up at the sky. There were few clouds out but enough that she could do what anyone that looked at the clouds would do. She wanted to pick out pictures formed by the clouds. She laid back on her back and laid her arms behind her head, letting her gaze slowly move from one cloud to the next, picking out pictures while she wanted for her friends to join her on this relaxing day.

Full Name ;; Samantha Jane Channing Bloodline ;; Half-Blood Appearance ;; Personality ;; Samantha is a very strange witch, and when I say strange I mean she's well..different. Samantha prefers to do things manually when she can and not by magic. She thinks it is rather unfair for muggles to have to do things by hand, but Samantha enjoys the labor. However, Samantha does use magic when she is swamped with school work. Sam is a strong girl physically. She gets work done quickly and most of the time she stays on task. She can get sidetracked by even the pettiest of things, but she tends to make up for it by her speed and accuracy.
She is pretty courageous and sometimes brave, but a lot of times, she's pretty insecure and will bite back when you comment about her rudely. Sami is a smart girl, loving to read and write even if she's not that great with numbers. Sam tries her hardest even though she doesn't really care about school. She has a strong passion for any creatures and she especially loves spending time at the barn with the school's winged horses. She is rather thankful for them and treats each one of them as if they were a person. Sam is a compassionate girl towards housemates, but pretty much no one else.
Sam is a great friend and very loyal to her friends. She can't deny that she sometimes can be a prick, but she won't be rude to people she dislikes. She's a civil girl, but in a "discreet" way.. Sam can sometimes be a know-it-all even if she doesn't know it. She tends never stop and think about what she's about to say and when it's too late to take it back, Sam never truly regrets it. Sam has a pretty good memory and when it comes to remembering dates and such things, she's good about it. Sam can be pretty snappy and she likes to scoff at people, but it's in her nature. Sam is good at picking fights, but when she tries hard, she'll stay out of them.
When angry, the younger girl can become rather snappy and is very smart with her wand and hexes. Samantha is a very hardworker and has high hopes for herself, including trying out for the Holyhead Harpies team when she becomes old enough. She's pretty sly and rather amazing at lying. She loves getting innocent kids in trouble and she doesn't mind getting into trouble herself. She's sharp and quite mean to younger kids, but she doesn't care. Sam isn't shy and she'll argue and talk back if she feels it's necessary. The only thing she's shy around is boys.
History ;; Born on May 10, Sam was born on a hot, humid day in the busy city of Paris. Her family lived in a large neighborhood, though happy Sam was not. A year after Sam was born, her mother left her family, leaving the baby to fend for herself. She had three brothers that were already attending Beauxbatons. Her eldest brother, James was in his fifth year and the oldest. He was a sly boy and one of the more popular students. Her second brother, Donovan is James' twin and the two of them both caused lots of trouble at school. Her last brother is Terrence. Terrence was the youngest and in his third year. Sam's father was happy with the three boys being in the school. James and Donnie were both on the quidditch team as beater and chaser. Terrence however wasn't interested in quidditch. Samspent most of her one and two year old life in the house, playing with brooms and trying on robes.
At three years old, Sam was always ridiculed by her family because of her lack of talent. She couldn't exactly fly a broom or summon a frog. Sam was just like any ordinary muggle baby; or so her parents thought. At the young age of six, Sam had already learned to summon frogs, stupefy anything she could, and bully her little cousins around. She had managed to turn her littlest cousin into a teapot. Sam's father was of course proud of their only daughter. At eleven, Sam was accepted into Beauxbatons, seeing as the headmistress knew her three brothers.
Roleplay Sample ;;
Kati felt terrible for letting little Oliver go crazy around Nate. He obviously wasn't in the mood, seeing as he seemed a bit annoyed when Oliver got near to him. She sighed and cradelled the puppy, her eyes were soft, but she kept them on Nate. He seemed really terrible at the moment and Kati felt sorry for him. After everything that happened at the Valentine's Day Party, she felt horrible about everything Chuck and Blair had done. Then again, Kati was the one that was in love with Chuck. What was wrong with her? She wanted to sympathize, but Nate seemed to involved with something else. He seemed like he was in a trance and Kati didn't want to be the one to bother him about it. Instead, he smiled and exclaimed her name. She smiled and nodded, watching him. It seemed interesting to her that he could look so sad, but sound so different about it. Kati truly wondered about Nate sometimes. He worried her, but she knew she wasn't his so she had no control over it all.
She waited for his answer, but all he responded with was a shrug and a stare up at the sky. She had turned her head for a moment to plop little Oliver down. When she turned back to him, the light of the moon danced upon his features causing him to look amazing in Kati's eyes. She sighed to herself, knowing that this "God" would never be able to belong to her for now. He was too caught up in the love triangle. Blair, Chuck, and Nate. They didn't need a square, the other side equaling Kati. Her brown eyes circled the park, wondering if anyone else was noticing the HUGE electric charge between the two. She felt so different around Nate lately, no matter how many times she told herself that she loved Chuck. Perhaps Kati was the one that was wrong this whole time. Maybe, she loved Nate more than she loved Chuck. But to many, it seemed impossible. The girl had loved Chuck since birth.
Then again, that's what Blair and Nate thought about each other and look where those two were now. He lowered his head to meet Kati's eyes with his own and she felt as though he was seeing through every bad thing that happened in her life and that any fears she kept hidden were flashing through his mind like little video tapes. The emotion that she felt between them both was strong and she wasn't sure if he felt it too, but she kept it to herself. "Nate." she started off. Her brown eyes were sympathetic and kind, but her words were firm and soft. "In all honesty, what you and Blair had was simply amazing, but if she couldn't appreciate that then surely she doesn't deserve someone as amazing as you are. You're an amazing person and it wasn't your fault that she left you for your best friend. It was hers. Maybe she felt like she needed another guy in her life, but you were the one that any girl would want to be lucky enough to have. You need to let it go if that's how she's going to treat you and Chuck shouldn't have given in, but you know how Chuck is with girls," she sighed softly.
Kati wasn't saying that he should leave Blair out forever and date her, but she didn't think he deserved what Blair did to him. It made her sad to think about and to see his face when he found out really hit Kati hard in the heart. "You used to be the one thing in her life, but I feel like she always just had you to show off to other girls at school that she was the one dating the most amazing boy at school. Honestly? She put me down a while back when I couldn't get anyone, and I still can't. But, you know. It's your decision. If it was me, I wouldn't go after someone that is going to use me and then dump me for my best friend," she replied honestly. She looked down at her fingers. She was twisting the ring on her finger around in circles. She loved that ring and she wore it everyday. It was plain, silver metal with black gold letters that read peace.love.Juicy. She bought it from Juicy Coutures and Kati had never taken it off, except when she showered or cleaned it.
She felt rather warm sitting next to Nate, even though it was pretty cool tonight. She looked up at the stars for a moment, letting her face soak up the light. "The stars are gorgeous tonight, huh?" she said softly.
Personality ;; Char is a very soft-spoken young person. She's usually the girl that you'd see sitting in the Library reading all the time. That wouldn't be far from the truth though...Char rarely walks about without a book. She isn't the smartest person in the world, but she has some pretty good with the witty/sarcastic comments. She's the kind of person who can take a lot of crap from people, but if you push her over the edge I've got two words for you---watch out! She will hex you into the next century if you hurt/mess with any of her family or friends. Despite her shyness, Char can be quite the prankster if you get her into a certain mood.
History ;; Char's story is not a happy one. In the beginning, Matthew Lewis was a picture perfect pure-blood boy. When he attended Hogwarts, he was placed in Slytherin as all his family before him had been. In his 6th year he met Muggleborn Ravenclaw Cassandra Belmont and they soon began dating. Everything between them, they tried to hide because they didn't what the whole Lewis family in an uproar. This didn't last for long because Matthew's younger brother found out and ratted to his parents. Afterward forbidden to see Cass, Matthew was at a loss. Should he obey his parents? Or follow what he felt was true love? He broke up with Cass while he decided. At the end of his 7th year, he couldn't stand it anymore. Defying his parents he proposed to Cass who answered yes without a second thought. They were soon married and had two children. Malachi Benji was the first born and was excepted at Hogwarts. Charlotte Staples was born three years later. Ten years afterwards, however, Cass's adoptive father passed away. Matthew had a cousin with whom Malachi stayed(so he could continue to attend Hogwarts) and Char and her parents moved to France to be closer to Cass's adoptive family. The next year, Char got her Beauxbatons letter and her parents where very happy for her.
Cass::Cassandra was adopted by the Belmont's at a young age. She resembled Mrs. Belmont so no one ever questioned it. Cass had orginally been a Muggle, but was trilled to find that she had magical abilities. Matthew::Matthew came from a Pureblood family. Being the eldest a lot was expected of him, but he kept a level head about it. Meeting Cass, as he often says, was the best thing that ever happened to him.
Roleplay Sample ;; Charlotte Lewis stepped out onto the platform. People where running back and forth and it all appeared to be chaos to the young girl. Sighing, she began walking in the direction that the crowd was headed. Her leg were stiff from the long ride during which she had sat alone. She continued walking until someone bumped into her trunk, which she had been dragging behind her, causing her to fall over. "Dang," she said in pain as someone else stepped on her fingers. Picking herself up she jerked her trunk up and walked quickly the rest of the way to the Lake.
Upon entering the big, beautiful oak doors Char just continued following the crowd. When she got to a large hall, she waited with several other students. Shifting uncomfortably Char eagerly waited for her name to called....

Full Name ;; Edward Tristen Jones Alias ;; Ed - Eddie Bloodline ;; Halfblood Birthday ;; March 29 Personality ;;
Flirting, Pranks, what more could someone like himself be expected of? Surely nothing less, but more would be the better term for it. Occasionally skipping class once or twice, or just being approximately thirty minutes late as the others have already seated themselves and have already started the day's assignment, he doesn't exactly give a care as to what happens, unless getting expelled of course.
Growing up, he had no trouble getting anything and everything he craved for, even if it was just for that moment. He was one of the kids that were known as 'spoiled', but how could he help it? His parents were filthy rich with plenty of money to spare. None the less, he did know the rights and wrongs to the extremely large amounts of money he spent on a daily basis. However, it didn't stop him from becoming somewhat arrogant and over confident.
Essentially, one could immediately assume that he's one of those type of male teenagers who parents would fear to have to go out with their daughter, which does have it's truth, but to a certain degree. He may be known as someone who has urges to cause trouble, but apparently he does have his good points.
First of all, Edward isn't a player. There would be a better chance of hell freezing over than him going out with more than one girl at a time, or even dating one of the girls that desire attention from all the guys that are considered attractive in their eyes. Also, the injustice of all the lies that make up a large percentage of the gossip that spread from one end of the school to another is a bit a waste of time. Surely he does listen to what all is said, but it isn't as if he actually believes in it. What his parents had always taught him as a child: honestly is the best policy, no matter the situation.
History ;;
As a child, he had always been told that he was always loved by his parents, which of course he believed with all of his ability and of course out of pure knowledge. The smiling boy that wanders the halls and can be seen messing around with his friends from one glance would hardly ever believe there was anything wrong with him, that nothing could have possibly been out of the ordinary from his past.
Typically, there wasn't. He had two loving people that raised him since he was a child, a younger sister that was sent to a private academy, and an older brother he had already graduated from the school he was currently attending. Their family wasn't in the least out of contact since one of their sons had moved out and married, and everything was officially fine.
The only flaw that could really be made out was the fact he wasn't a pure blood. His father was a full blooded wizard with all the magical power he could have ever wanted, and his mother was only a half blood like himself. It wasn't as if it was a great issue however, despite what his peers thought or considered him as. Besides, who would? David, his father, was the head of a large company that produced wands that sold all over the wizardry realm, and his mother was one of the many orthodontists that made at least twenty thousand dollars per month.
What more could he have possibly wanted that he couldn't get without a simple asking of his guardians? Virtually, nothing. Edward lived in a four story house, not including the basement, located in partly detached area in the heart of London, England. He had also attended a large private academy that allowed entry to those from the age of eighteen months to age eighteen, but had only gone there until he had eleven years of his life achieved.
Up until that point, he had already learned and mastered the basics of what he was supposed to know about the magical world that was separated from the muggles. These lessons included common word usage, how to ride a broom properly, how to hold a wand, and etc. So to say, once he had received his acceptance letter from Beauxbaton's Academy of Magic, there wasn't exactly much for him to learn in those areas of learning.
Roleplay Sample ;;
Waking up to the sound of a ringing bell tower somewhere on the outside of the dorm building, the teen released a large yawn as he lay blinking his eyes open to face the white painted ceiling above him. It was another day, another boring day that would drag on until lunch, or finally when classes were actually over. Finally shifting his body position to be sitting and leaning against the headboard of his bed, he grasped the blanket lightly and pulled it up to the chest of his half-naked form.
It was already past the winter season, but somehow it still managed to stay somewhat cold, especially now. It seemed as if sleeping only in his boxers wouldn't exactly be a good idea if this temperature kept up. He'd probably freeze himself just by staying in those sheets after he just climbed in the night before, but he hadn't expected it to remain that way since the heater should've been turned on.
Dammit. Should've at least given me another blanket fags. Looking around, he spotted his two roommates still sprawled over in their beds asleep. They seemed to be look comfortable, especially not the slightest bit cold. Shaking his head lightly and heaving a silent sigh, Edward pulled himself out of his bed and walked over to his black leather trunk that he had brought with him that contained his robes, and leaned down to grab one that were newly washed.
It was a new day, the sun was rising up into a beautiful sunrise that filled the skies with the perfect shade of an orange and light baby blue mix and fading into the dark navy color of last night. As far as he knew from what he saw as he stood at his doorway staring out the window. Well, good start so far, but classes.. He made a face as the thought came to mind. Having to sit through a lecture that would probably take up most of the class would be a pain in the ass for him. Especially if it was going to happen more than once.
Finally turning to open the door, he gripped the handle and pushed it to enter into the hallway, heading off toward the showers. It would probably get his mind somewhere away from that topic until actually becoming a reality when the lessons began. "Let's get this show on the road," he murmured as he walked down the dorm hallway with robes hanging in his arms and heading to a private bathroom that included a bath.

Jamie...i didnt feel like editing anything sue me =] Full Name ;; Summer Marie Johson Bloodline ;; Half. Appearance ;;
Standing at 5'5 and weighing at around 125 lbs is where Summer is at. She knows she's short for her age, but it tends to run in her family. Her body type is athletic due to when she was younger she played sports. She likes to keep her body in shape by secretly going out at night, or early in the morning and doing some laps around the Qudditch Pitch. Otherwise, Summer looks like an ordinary girl.
Summer's hair is reaches just past her shoulders. It's straight most times, but you don't normally see it like that. Usually, Summer feels lazy, or wakes up late, and just sticks her hair in a messy ponytail. Her eyes aren't very unique the least to say. She wished she had eyes like her brother, one hazel, and one blue. A color from their mother, and a color from their father. But no, Summer got stuck with plain, blue eyes.
Her clothing style varies on how she is feeling. When Summer's in a bad mood, she won't bother to look nice, well she will, but she'll just throw on a pair of sweats, or pajama's and lounge around the common room. When she's in a happy mood, well, thats when she looks like any other person around the campus. But, most times you'll find Summer in a black hoodie, and a pair of jean's, or her robes.
Season's also affect what Summer wear's. When school is just starting, and it's hot out, she likes to roam about in shorts, or a skirt, a t-shirt, and every so often her house robe. During fall, when it's a mixture of hottness, and chillyness, you can either spot Summer wearing skirts,shots, pants, and of course long sleeve t-shirts. And of course, around Winter time when the air is freezing and snow is falling, Summer is wearing pants, long sleeve t-shits, a black hoodie or her house robes.
Personality ;;
Summer is the type that is very shy, uncomfortable around most people, and doesn't trust those who aren't her brother. She's the quiet type that keeps to herself. She has a really hard time trusting those she doesn't know. Ever since she was younger, the only person she knows she can trust for sure is her older brother. Whenever she is around him, she's very active, talkative, all the works. Around those she hardly knows, Summer goes quiet, shuts everyone out.Unlike most siblings, Summer gets along best with her brother, they hardly fight and have learned to deal with eachother through out the years. When she was younger, she wasn't like all the kids around where she lived. They all went out and played, did there thing. But Summer stayed in the house due to hershyness and uncomfortableness around those she hardly knew. It has really taken a toll on her life. This makes it hard for her to make new friends, meet new people, and become a friendlier person.
Working on her personality is something Summer tries terribly hard to do. She know's she can be a friendly, talkative,nice, and a more outgoing person. It's actually quite hard for her to work on really. Summer's just always been that shy, quiet , nervous girl that just didn't like people. It's not that she didn't like them, Summer just finds it hard to trust and talk to people. It's a habit she sort of wishes she could break, like breaking out of her shell. Like most people, Summer likes to be alone, it may seem like it's most days she's like this, but it's not.
Because of her personality, no one really knows the true Summer, which is what she is working hard on. If people really knew the true Summer that was deep down in there somwhere. They would know she could actually be quite fun to be around, unlike how she is now. Really, the only time she really shows what she can be is around her brother sadly. Which since she doesn't see him, doesn't happen often. But she is hoping, and trying her best to get out there more.
Since Summer is often quiet, her frustration, and anger never get expressed. She likes to hold these feelings in, and she knows it's not good, because of the stress it can cause, but she continues to do it anyway. Normally, if you were to ask Summer what was wrong, or if anything was wrong at all, she would shake her head and say no, or just plain ignore you. At times, this can get people pissed at her because she doesn't communicate well (not speaking wise), but she tries her hardest to not hold back on things, and express how she truly feels. History ;; JAMIE I DO NOT FEEL LIKE REPLACING HOGWARTS WITH BEAUXBATONS. sue me. Summer had spent most of her childhood in the US. It hadn't been until she discovered something when she was about 8 or 9 that her parents told her about the wizzarding world . At one point in her life, she heard her parents arguing about her brother getting a letter. Summer wasn't that old to understand what was going on, so she was happy for her brother. But her father wasn't. See, her father was a muggle, and her mom, well she was a witch. Summer's father always thought her and her brother would never get letter from Hogwarts, that they would live what he called 'normal' lives, but he was wrong. A week later Summer was told her brother was being sent to boarding school.
When Summer turned 9, and her brother was home for the holidays from Hogwarts. She was always curious to what he had done at school, so one evening while everyone was downstairs watching a movie and she was suppose to be playing barbies, Summer wondered up to her brother room. It was then, she had found out about magic. While Summer snooped through her brothers things, she found a wand and one of his school books.
Finally, her mother and father explained to her that her brother wasn't at just a normal boarding school, but one that taught you great things. At first, Summer just thought her family was crazy, so she didn't know what to say.
When Summer didn't believe what her parents were telling her, they decided to show her for herself, or well, her mother did. For a week, Summer was at her grandmothers house (mum's side), located in the wizzarding world. After about a week, Summer didn't want to leave. She was only 9, and her father wasn't really excited about this idea, but her mother had thought it would be a good start from her.
It took about a couple months for Summer to realize that what her family had explained to her before was true. That there was a place that could teach you great things. When she was 11, she had gotten her letter like all other 11 year old witches and wizards, and was soon off to Diagon Alley.

Code:
As Summer leaned against the wall, she had a million things running through her mind. Oh boy how tonight was getting more and more interesting. Was it really that hard for her to answer with a simple 'yes', and run out of the room like she did? Serge had obviously got enough nerve to ask Summer to the ball, and she couldn't even spit out a damn single word. No, she had to say nonsense. Why was Summer stuck as being the shy one in the family? Was it a curse she was suppose to get? Did it really have to be this bad that she had to possibly scare off a guy who was like her.
Letting out a sigh, Summer slid down bringing her knees to her chest. " A yes, that was all it took, one word, yes." she thought to herself. But of course, Summer couldn't even do that, she had to go off and run away. 'Oh imagine how I'll be when I get proposed to.' The thought had made Summer laugh a bit on the inside. If she couldn't give someone a little, one word answer to the dance, she probably end up leaving the country when she got, if she got propose to. It was that bad.
Biting her lower lip, Summer could hear her words echoing in her head like a muggle's broken record player. I-I-I..Y--N--I-Wha--May--Ye--N--. .....I-I-I..Y--N--I-Wha--May--Ye--N--. ....I-I-I..Y--N--I-Wha--May--Ye--N--." .. Oh how she knew she sounded like an idiot. Not one word in that sentence was a full, finished word. Well, unless you counted 'I', but still. There Serge was, possibly still down in the Common Room, a nice, shy boy like her, had the nerve to ask her to the ball. And there Summer was, a coward, shy, nervous wreck, most likely getting hated by Serge. Would she be able to face him again? Face that she couldn't even get out a word that gave him an answer.
Just as she was about to give up, and go back to her dorm, tired of arguing with herself, Summer heard footsteps coming up the stairs. It was probably just another girl coming back from getting asked to the ball herself, or from doing homework, something like that. For a minute, Summer didn't even bother to look. Her words still wchoing in her mind. But the sound of a males voice, not a female, caused Summer's face to grow a little more red, as she turned to see who it was.
Listen, Summer. I know... I know that may have been very sudden, and I'm sorry. It was a little forward, and, I don't know. I'm stupid, or nervous, or... something. Stupidity comes with the gender, I guess.
Alls she could do was sit there, stare at him, utterly in shock. Apparently he didn't hate her. He came, followed her to apologize. Why he was apologize, Summer didn't understand why, it should have been her that was apologizing. Running off like that, not even giving him an answer. So why was it him doing this? Why couldn't Summer just get the nerve to walk back to the common room, approach Serge, and say she was sorry and she'd love to go with him. But here he was, doing what she should be doing. And the only thing Summer could do, was stare, stare at Serge like a complete fool. Her legs telling her to just get up, and run into her room, hide from embarrassment, that Serge will just hate her forever.
"I-It's-Ye-N-Pos-Can-I'd.." Once again, Summer couldn't talk. It was coming out like nonsense. Why couldn't she just say yes damn it? It was there, hanging off the edge of her tongue still, waiting to escape her mouth in a soft low whisper. Oh how she really wanted to go with the boy, how going with someone who was shy, and wouldn't make her talk if she didn't want to would be nice. But Summer had to be shy, and nervous. "Serge..." she said in a soft quiet whisper. Well, that was a start, one word came out right. Maybe the fact that it wasn't an answer, but she had still succesfully got a word out. Then Summer realized, she could just nod the damn answer! No words were required. Yes, thats what she would do, nod a yes.
I know... I know it may be hard... Trust me, it was hard for me too. But I'm asking you to please, please, take this step with me. Take a chance on me. Please. I'm prepared to beg.
So, nodding was what she had decided to do. Biting her lip, Summer went to nod, but found, that she couldn't even do that. The only thing she could do was stare at Serge, wanting, dying, to give him an answer, but couldn't. And what Serge had said, well it was making Summer sad that she did this. Running away from her problems wasn't something she was happy with it. The boy was ready to beg. Without thinking, she began to bite her lip more, and a bit harder, almost to the point where it would bleed.
Boy did she feel like a nervous wreck right now. "Serge..I..Y..Hard..this..I'd L.." The word s wouldn't leave her mouth. Not the yes, or the I'd love to she was looking for. The words just wouldn't budge. Summer was about to just give up all together with trying to get her answer out. Give up with trying to over come her shyness at one point, give up with everything. The only word that she could get out right was his name 'Serge'. Why couldn't it be a yes? Why couldn't that be the word that came out. Summer's hea didn't even want to give him an answer. Was it that bad? Really, her shyness had never done this to her. Never did she say total nonsense like she was.
Finally, peeling her eyes off of Serge, Summer glanced down at the ground, still sitting against the wall. She let out a sigh, still trying to get the words to come out of her mouth. Hurting Serge was something she didn't want to do. He seemed like a good a guy, someone who Summer could get to know better, and who is like her, would understand her. But it was hard. And he knew it. Did Serge really know it was that hard? The words came out of his mouth so clearly, without hesitation it seemed. And here she was, the words coming out of her mouth all choppy, stupid, not even full words. Letting out another sigh, her eyes found Serge once more.
"Serge.." she said once more quietly. It was now or never, the words were either going to come out now, or she was going to be a coward, turn, and run away. If thats what it would it resort to, then Summer was definitely a coward. Someone who didn't, shouldn't be going to the Ball with someone like Serge, who shouldn't even talk to him. "Y-y-y-yes." There, t he words finally came out, and her face grew just a bit more red as she spoke. Summer had just, finally, said yes, after what seemed like forever in answering that one question with a simple yes or no, she finally did it. Took a while, but the word was there, out in the open. The answer hung there in the air. It was a sure thing now, Summer was going to the Ball with Serge. Hopefully, she wouldn;t be a nervous wreck like she was tonight.

Full Name ;; Peyton Holly McDonough
Bloodline ;; Pure-Blood and if I could, vampire-blood.
Appearance ;;
Peyton has always been well known because of her features; the perfect blond hair, the shining blue eyes, and just about everything else. She has a long, thin body with each thing a perfect proportion. Her legs make up most of her body, and she's covered with a tan that you could only get from lounging around the Mediterranean Sea. She's a very tall girl. Standing at 5"7, she towers over all of the girls she knows. She's very muscular because of how much she pushes herself in sports. She has a sloping nose and a dazzling smile made up of pure white teeth. She's always smiling, though most people don't know that she's hurting inside.
Her eyes are the thing that she loves most about her body. Because of her vampiric-blood, they can change color. They don't change from red to blue to purple or anything like that. Usually, they're a stunning sea blue, but if she gets angry or is upset, they transform to a pale gold. Whenever she's like that, she stays inside. She doesn't want to draw attention to herself. Even though her eyes can give away her secret, she loves them all the same. It's one thing that nobody has to comment on.
Though it seems as if Peyton doesn't have many flaws, she knows of one: her feet and fingers. Nobody notices them, but her feet are abnormally large. Not Sasquatch large, but rather big. Her fingers are long, but are a bit chubby. She tries to get people to notice them, but nobody does. She even goes to the extreme of wearing flip flops in mid winter just to get people to stop admiring her; to realize that she's imperfect.
Personality ;;
Peyton isn't some life size Barbie, though her looks say that she's a stupid, pretty, naive girl. She's, in fact, very intelligent. She's not a super genius in academics, but she knows a lot about life. The only people who really know her are her siblings, who say that she's seventeen going on thirty-two. She doesn't like people looking up to her for superficial things, like nice hair and pretty eyes. She wants to make a statement, to show the world that she can do something for herself. Unfortunately, this has all led up to great frustration, which has made the sweet girl into someone horrible.
After years of meaningful acknowledgment, Peyton has started thinking that she's utterly superior to everyone. She's still the same she was before at heart, but she's begun thinking things that aren't kind. Everyone knows the old Peyton, but now, they don't know what she thinks while they're talking to her. She's always thinking of things like What are you, an idiot? when she actually says Uhh, I don't think that's the correct answer, but good try!. She's sort of split into two people; everybody's Peyton, and the real Peyton. Her family knows about this because she always talks to her siblings about everything, and they hope coming to Beauxbatons will change her for the better.
Now, I'll tell you about the old Peyton. She always had a genuine smile on her face, and was ready to help a friend in the blink of an eye. She supported everything they did, and understood what she needed to do to be a good friend. She had relationships with people in all different groups: the cheerleaders, the brainiacs, the jocks, the skaters, etc. By doing this, she learned to change her personality to fit their style. (i.e. saying "omigosh" with the cheerleaders, and using large, descriptive words with the smarter kids.) Everyone knew of the lovely Peyton, the girl with the talent, looks, and brains.
One thing that never changed in Peyton was her love of animals. When in town, she always visited the local animal shelter and when she was old enough, she volunteered for a job. She loved the animals, and wished for one of her own. In a house of six children, she knew it wasn't possible. When she changed into the "new Peyton," coming to visit the animals was really the only way she could show genuine compassion. She's a bit nervous to leave the Muggle animals for the magical ones at Beauxbatons, but she's willing to give it a shot.
Even though Peyton always liked talking to people, she was a bit arrogant. She always held her head high, but in a bit of a snooty manner while around people she didn't know. It was if she was afraid that they wouldn't have the same reaction to her as the people at her home did. By this, you could say that she's a bit hypocritical. She doesn't try to put on airs, but it just happens, as if it's some instinct that she has. These are some habits that she may grow out of, but then again, some bad habits stay forever.
History ;;
On May 1st, 1991, Peyton Michelle Isabella Avery was born to Juliet Marden and Harris Avery in Marseilles, France. Both parents had wizard and witch blood, and they both also had vampiric-blood. At the time, the couple was feuding, and so the birth of their sixth child made everything all the more difficult. A mother giving birth, and bringing a new baby into the world should be the happiest time for the women, right? Well, instead of taking care of his wife during labor, he was on his cell phone making plans for football night with his friend. After this happened, Juliet was furious and refused to let him in during the birth of the child. After the whole ordeal was over, nothing was the same. They had been trying to get along, for the sake of their kids, but they knew that nothing could go on like this. The next May, a couple of days after Peyton's first birthday, they were officially separated.
After the two had gone to court, the judge ruled that the children would stay with their mother. Peyton was happy that everything was over, and that both parents would be happier, but he felt like everything was her fault and that, if she hadn't been born, none of this would've happened. After contemplating her options, she ran away. It wasn't really running away, considering that she was seven years old and that she just ran down the block, but it meant something to her mother, and so afterwords, she started dating again, hoping to find someone the children would be proud to call father. After about a year, she had finally found someone who she shared a mutual attraction with. His name was Paul Brown, and he seemed like an alright man, that is, until he moved in. Their mother was so in love, that she didn't even realize what he was doing to the kids. He forced them all to sleep in the attic, taking out all of their beds and shoving them upstairs. He knocked down the walls in between their old rooms, and made it a giant entertainment space, of course, for him and hi wife only.
One day, when the children arrived from school, they heard a women scream from their house. They ran into the room, and saw their mother on the floor, squirming in pain. The terrible man had hit her on the head with a book. The children saw their mother's wand in the man's hands, and tried to hide their anguish as he snapped it in half, thinking that it was a twig. They stood in fright, and could only let silent tears fall down their faces as he carried their unconscious mother outside into his car, where he drove off and never returned. The children were left alone in a large house, and were too scared to call the police, thinking that Paul might hunt them down. Soon afterward, a neighbor came in to give them their mail, which had been piling up outside since the children hadn't gone out. When she saw them huddled up in corners, their faces stained with tears, they told her the whole story.The neighbor immediately called the police, and the children were sent to a foster home. Unfortunately, one of the girls, Alana, was sent to a different home, splitting the family apart. Peyton still has hope, though, as Alana is a witch like the rest of them, and maybe, just maybe, they might reunite at Beauxbatons and be a whole family once more.
Roleplay Sample ;;
Peyton woke with a start, her palms shaking and forehead beaded with cold sweat. She hadn't woken from a bad dream, but from a sudden sneeze that was coming upon her from the leftover cold she had gotten sometime last week. She was at the stage where the aftermath of the ordeal was at full throttle, refusing to get out of her system no matter how close to Valentine's Day it was. She suddenly felt her stomach plunge into an abyss. A swirling abyss that reminded her of her hopless romantic status. She wasn't a girl for mushy activity. You know, public displays of affection and all of that. Everytime she saw a couple holding hands, she always thought of the wall that was built around her, permanently cemented between her and any potential fling. She longed to love and be loved in return, though every time she was close to it, her heart turned away; scared of what would come if she was betrayed or hurt. She was never this weak, only with love.
When it came close to Valentine's, it got worse. Everyone asking each other out made her as cold as stone. She knew that this was no way to act, and nothing would come of her acting like such a child. Was she jealous of her brother? He was always getting requests, always looked at and admired in the halls. Peyton was new, and she knew that she wouldn't become anyone until she learned the ways of the school. She knew she was acting selfish and hypocritical, but she couldn't stop herself. The feeling of the holidays had taken it's blow on Peyton. She felt like someone in an old movie. The damsel in distress? She wasn't that far gone, but she was close to it. This was how it would be every year, but she just hoped that she wouldn't always act the same.
Sneezing once more, she reached for the tissue box next to her bed. It was a rather repulsive scene. Her eyes were bloodshot and she was rather pale; paler than usual. Used tissues were strewn about the bed and floor, a clear sign that nobody cared to pick them up. Thankfully Peyton had remembered to put a sign on the door that said: "An owl is very ill in here. Not a pretty sight. Unless you want feathers coughed all over you, I suggest you stay away." It wasn't very convincing, but she had left that out for the past couple of weeks. It helped her with two things: No one having to be grossed out by her lack of hygiene, and no annoying newbies coming in to bunk with her. She was a newbie herself, but some that she had seen recently would just not be quiet. One even had the nerve to tell her how pretty her hair was, then touch it. Her friends could do so, but she hadn't even known the person's name.
It became aparent that almost nobody was cautious, or aware that people had a little personal circle. If she went up to a random person and patted there head, it probably wouldn't matter. She laughed to herself as she realized how rediculous that sounded. She suddnely whipped around when she heard the sound of footsteps in the hallway. She took her owl, Kei, who was not in the slightest sick, and tickled him under his wings. The bird squaked and flapped its wings, making quite a racket. Peyton smiled as the footsteps came to a halt then sped up enormously.
She let go of the struggling bird, letting it fly off into its cage. It was probably wondering when she had forgotten the last time she did that. When he had practically bitten her finger off. She smiled at the brown barn owl with loving warmth. She loved Kei; mostly because he didn't ever feel the need to converse with her. A very good listener indeed. Peyton rested her head against her upright pillows, and grew annoyed when the drowsy feeling that she usually got had not returned. What she really wanted was some sleep, to block out the world outside. Maybe she would have another dream of when she was in one of her favorite books, Jane Eyre. She was Jane, as usual. It was fun to change the outcome of the story, and she often prayed that she would have that dream again, or another variation of it.
She shut her eyes with force and squeezed them shut. She knew that this would have no effect, but she was getting rather aggravated. She yanked a pillow from behind her and slammed it over her face. It only made her angrier. Trying a bunch of different positions, she eventually gave up, which resulted in the pillow being hurled across the room. Sighing in frustration, she threw the covers off her blue bed. She winced in horror when she saw how pale the rest of her body was. She didn't have any lights on, so that was mostly the reason, but she still did not like what she saw.
Her knees looked knobby and her feet looked too long. Her legs looked as thin as rails, though that had never really changed. She only had cotton shorts and a t-shirt on, and so most of her was visible. Her stomach was flat and practically just skin and bone. She never had an eating disorder, always thinking it was utterly grotesque for one to want to do such a thing to ones body, but everyone thought she did. She couldn't blame them, as she was a picky eater, but she didn't like the way she looked. She would rather have some meat on her bones then be as skinny as an anorexic supermodel.
Sticking her tongue out in a way to show her dis-satisfaction, she made her way to her closet. She put a soft smile on her face when she remembered that the Beauxbatons Carnival was going on today. She wasn't one to go to such an event, but she felt she needed some excitement in her life. She browsed through her great collection of clothes. Everything was either too short, too long, too dressy, too slouchy, or something that she had no clue why it was in her closet. After doing a random drawing, she came out with a strapless black flowy Chanel top, dark jeans, and silver ballet flats. Shrugging into the shirt, she looked in the mirror. The wavy material concealed her scrawny build and that pleased her. The jeans, however, had the opposite affect.
Though many girls would die for her body, men had pointed out that they didn't like girls who were too thin. Peyton obviously fell into this category. Shaking her head and looking down, she slipped on the shoes. Slowly shuffling over to the bathroom, she looked in the mirror, and her face contorted into a look of sheer anguish. When she thought her day was going mildly well, she looked into the mirror. Her eyes were a color of pale silver, and they stood out even more on her pale skin and gaunt looking face. Her pupils seemed to blend in to her stunning irises, and when Peyton squinted they thankfully couldn't be seen. She threw some water on her face and put the smallest amount of make up on. Outside she was good to go, inside she wanted to go to bed.
Her feet made a hollow clicking noise as she strolled through the halls. People passing her looked giddy with excitement. Peyton noted that it was almost like Christmas during Valentine's Day. The air was filled with glee, of course no singing or caroling, but a sweet aura that seemed to enclose on the school. The boys that came down the halls were either punching each other in embarrassment, or shuffling along very aloofly, with a look that said: If I didn't have a date, I'd be in bed now. She rolled her eyes when some looked at her with expectant faces, as if they thought she'd ask them out when she didn't know them. She had no clue where she was walking, she just followed the crowd. It wasn't long before they were outside, and the grop slowly divided, leaving Peyton alone.
Walking aimlessly around the grounds, she sought something to do. That's when she remembered what she was doing. The dang cold had been making her forget a bunch of things. A couple of thoughts sprang into her head. Bumper Cars? Rollercoaster? Then she thought of a better idea; the Fun House. Nobody really went in the Fun House since it was too "childish," but Pey liked it that way. It made her feel relaxed. Relaxation was exactly what she needed.
The sky had a gray tinge, one that only came during winter. It was almost as if the gods were indecisive about the weather. The couldn't decide between a gusty wind, pouring rain, or beautiful sunshine. It almost angered the girl, as she like things straightforward and to the point. It was exhausting to last throughout the afternoon not knowing what could come next. Slowly making her way to the center of the event, she began to feel out of place. She knew that there would be loads of people, but she didn't expect this many. She hadn't seen everyone in the school, but they all seemed to be there now. Not really knowing where to head first, she took a look around. She saw one or two familiar faces, but she didn't bother to say hello to anyone. She didn't really know if they would ask her questions about her eyes. She could always say that she had new contacts in, but why would waste time?
She soon caught sight of the fun house and walked inside it. As expected, there weren't many people. She strolled in and slowly got lost in the laborinth of passages. Mirrors were set in different patterns to get you trapped. Peyton just took in the fun of it all, unlike some other people she knew who'd be afraid they'd get lost. This wasn't like any other she had been in, as she had only visited Muggle ones at stupid festivals. Touching the glass of one mirror, she felt herself spin around to face the other direction, and a whole new set of hallways. She sighed and smiled. It would definitely take up some time to get out of here.
She giggled when the mirrors started to distort her appearance. She was first super skinny, then her head grew big. Lastly, she grew utterly obese, and she grimaced at that. Sure, she whined about her problems, but people had it much worse than she. Peyton moved on, slowly making her way out of the mirror maze. Now it was the physical part. Ropes and walls blocked her way from the exit. Though she looked almost breakble, she was mostly muscle. She threw herself over the obstacles, laughing at how silly she must look. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and was about to turn around when she smacked into someone.
She crashed on to the ground, not worried about hersef, but the other person. She expected them to be on the ground alongside her, but instead, he was standing. Standing up quickly, she managed to find the words she was looking for. "Oh, I'm so sorry. Uhhmm, are you ok? Are you hurt?" She asked these things in a worried voice, as if she had knocked him down a flight of stairs. So much for having a good day.
Sorry if you find it too short ^^ I can try to make it longer.

Full Name ;;
Juliet Rowley
Bloodline ;;
Pure-blood & 1/8 Veela
Appearance ;;
Juliet is someone who’s face could never be forgotten. It is far too beautiful for that. The moment a person was to lay eyes on her, every single detail would be forever etched into their memory. This, however, came as no surprise considering she was part Veela. She was only 1/8 Veela, but it didn’t matter. The charm and beauty that was expected of a Veela was unmistakable.
Luckily, being only 1/8 Veela gave her beauty enviable to angels, but without the burden (and yes, it was in fact a burden) of having any male spellbindingly attracted to her. Of course, even without this quality, boys still fell all over her. It only benefited Juliet because it didn’t put them under a trance so that when she asked them to kindly shove their ugly heads up their arses and leave her alone, they weren’t too mesmerized to realize she had insulted them.
Without a doubt, Juliet’s most memorable physical feature are her large, brown eyes. A person could fall into them and get lost for hours. They are the eyes of an angel that could melt the coldest heart or instil the deepest fear of man. It all depended on which side of her wand you got on. Her eyes weren’t the last of her beauty, however. The golden hair that often fell in front of them was long and soft. It is always messy, looking like she had just rolled out of bed, but it wouldn’t have suited her any other way.
Also, the porcelain complexion of Juliet’s small, ovular was one to be envied. Her skin was so smooth that it could be compared to marble. Actually, her entire body was comparable to marble considering how perfect and lean she was. Complimenting these features were her pointed chin and small, button nose. Last, but not least, her lips, though the bottom one was fuller than the top, were perfect for her face with their natural pinkish hue. She is like a doll. Everything is perfect.
Personality ;;
Juliet is a rather unique girl. She might come from a respectable pureblood family, but does not act any higher and holier-than-thou-art than the average teenager. Sure, while she doesn't fuss much over rules nor authority figures, she has her own set of rules that she follows, and that is what keeps her out of trouble, not the set rules of everything and everyone else. While it may seem to a cursory eye that Juliet is a terribly messy person, she is actually quite organized in her mess -- she knows exactly where everything is if it's "messy", but if it is "clean", she has no idea where things are. While normally vivacious and taking life moment by moment, never stopping to think about an action before doing it (another word for this is impulsive), she has also been known to stare off into space for periods of time when alone, only snapping out and back into her vibrant self when someone intrudes on her musings. Juliet is a morning person; her normal hours run from seven in the morning to eleven in the evening. More or less one way or the other may occur as well, however.
Her fiery personality draws people to her like a flame, though often they find that if they get too close, they get burned. Juliet refuses to let anyone get too close to her: when people do, she either confronts them and ask them to back off, or simply burns the bridge if they do not. She is secretive about her home life -- while she may mention something in passing, she cannot be expected to expand upon it. It may be easy to become Juliet's friend, but it is easier to end up on her "bad" list, as she counts anything about them that would annoy her to no end as a reason not to actually be around that person.
Juliet is brutally honest; she will not hold back her opinions, nor will she sugar coat anything to make someone feel better. If someone looks terrible, she tells them that they look terrible and should do something to amend it. She loves taking chances; sticking her neck out, cautious, but still, always willing to try something new, always seeking more adventure and mystery in her life. A natural born leader, she hates waiting for others to do something she can do, and she loves being in charge. Bossing people around makes her feel important, and, therefore, allows Juliet to experience self-worth, a good thing as doubt often claws at her.
She can be terribly fickle, especially concerning men. On average, she has one boyfriend per season -- something her friends tease her about quite a bit. If she flirts, she does so unconsciously, but if someone calls it out, she will stare at them, as if asking, "so what?". Men in general? Well, she's a cynic. Until convinced otherwise, she'll automatically think ill of a man. She's willing to give them a chance, but she's cautious about it. If she doesn't care at all, she'd mess with them. If she does... well. The person will have to work at gaining her trust. If she was interested enough in them in the first place, and could actually find time to stop and ask them out, she would.
Men. So silly, but it also made them ever so attractive. Either that, or it made them complete idiots and made her contemptuous of them. There had only been one man that had managed to keep her attention and attraction for more than a season... and he stomped all over her heart. Roy. It was his fault that she was a lot more cautious about relationships, getting too deeply involved, and the reason why she was every so quick to end a romantic relationship, for it saved her from getting too attached, and therefore, she didn't have to worry about whether or not the guy would be making a mess out of her.
Ever since Roy, Juliet had always been the one who cut the cord. Three months was her toleration for a relationship, if her relationship had not progressed to serious emotional attachment by the time. If it had... well, then the relationship would have ended much sooner. She couldn't -- wouldn't -- let anyone become as important to her as Roy had been, and then leave her hanging. Never again. Because of that, many didn't remain friends with her, but there were still some hopeful ones that hung around and were still good for conversation when she lacked it.
In general, while she might try to believe the best of someone, of humanity in general she mocks often. Little comments here and there speak of how little she thinks of humans in general. She believes her relationship actions as justified, with them men deserving it.
Juliet makes a very vindictive enemy. If one annoys her, they can expect retribution in sly forms. She is known to have a sharp tongue, and is not afraid to put it to use to lash out at people whom she feels deserves it. Her chosen words in those situations may breed ill will toward her, for, once she finds a weakness, she exploits it until she is satisfied.
Juliet talks with her hands; she is most expressive that way, and it helps her think.
History ;;
Juliet was born on a stormy 27th of Decemeber. Her mother had just been in a car accident and they needed to getthe baby out immediantley. Fortunatley at the end of the painful five hours, a baby girl was born and Juliet's mother came out safley. Her parents calle her Juliet, after Juliet in Shakespeer's stories. Juliet's parents were madlyin love, and always loved romantic stories, so who could blame them for their name choice. well, Julit doesn't complain because it means heroine.
The year between her birth and her birthday was a very expensive one. Her parents were always ducking out to buy nappies, and they had the room next to their's done up into a nursery. Juliet's mother particularly liked going out shopping and waisting lots of money on little outfits for Juliet. Her mother decided to become a full time mum untill Juliet was old enought to go to school.
She learnt to crawl at eight months. Juliet surprised everyone by learning to walk at ten months.Her parents knew she was a witch, but didn't know that she would be able to do things earlier than most babies her age. It was a little strange, especiallytoallof her mother's friends, who's babies hadn't even taken their first step.
On her first birthday Juliet said her first word. All of her mother's friends and there babies were sitting aroung the table and allof a sudden Juliet said "Cake!" Strange, right. Everyone laughed and began the celebrations for her first ever birthday. It had been a great first year, and her parents were so glad she was entering her time as a todler.
Juliet was like any other todler. She got up to mischief and was always falling over. Like all todlers she picked things up off the ground and ate them. Did you know that when todler's do that it actually build up their amune system. Anyway, her mother frequentlyorgaised play dates and she always had fun getting piggy backs from her dad.
Upon turning four her parents enrolled her into Kindergarton. The teachers always said she was a pleasure to have there,and she was no trouble what so ever. Juliet made many friends there, and always loved to help the teachers out. When she finished Kindergarten she graduated to preschool,with a special award for best scissor-cutter.
In pre-school she was the best reader, and surpried the teachers with her excelent vocabulary. She taught her fellow pre-schoolers some new words, and enjoyed showing off her reading skills to her parents. She was like the perfect daughter and they were so proud of her and the achievments she had already made.
Juliet was nervous, as expected,on her first day of primary school. She was attending a very expensive French school for gited children. On her birthday she got her own bike, and her father spent hurs teaching Juliet to ride it. Another great achievment,learningto ride a bike without training wheels.
Second grade at primary school was the year when she began to show magical ability. Juliet ould be in her room, just before bed, and just didn't feellike going to her book shelf and grabbing a book, and suddenly books would go flying across her room. Ofcourse her parents knew what was goingon, and would just tell fellow parents that Juliet was just going through a little stage.
The rest of her primary school education flew by as quick as it had started. Her teacher's never had any complaints about her and she graduated top of her class every year. Her parents didn'tthink they could prouder. They were happy with there one, perfect daughter. She was there dream, and they already knew she would be invited to Beauxbatons.
Adventually her letter arrived. Juliet was confused, she was a normal girl not a witch. her parents had to explain itto her,and in the end she agreed to go. So, off she went. She has already experienced heart break through Roy,and has even experienced possible love. There are many surpries laying ahead for her in the future.
Roleplay Sample ;;
- Taken from a site where I play raven -
Code:
Raven stormed into the Slytherin common room, a mixture of anger and heart ache visible across her porcelain doll-like features. She wasn’t sure how to feel, what to think, or who to take her frustrations out on. So many different things were running through her mind that the blended together to form nothing but a constant, pulsating pain between her eyes. Glaring at younger students in her path, scaring them out of the way, Raven pointed her wand at a bookshelf, sending leather bound texts flying and the shelves themselves to the ground, as she made her way to her dorm room.
Slamming the door behind her, she allowed tears escape from her eyes and run down her hot cheeks, burning like acid. There were so many other available Death Eaters with far more experience than her to go through with the Dark Lord’s orders, so why her? She wasn’t even actually a Death Eater yet! Raven was merely in the process. Though, she didn’t need to curse Merlin and ask why. She knew perfectly well the Dark Lord’s intentions. This was a test. A test of loyalty. All the same though, she wasn’t sure how she could go through with this. She could never face him again. How could she when she couldn’t even bring herself to think, much less say, his name.
Quickly, Raven opened up her trunk to pack a few things for her trip to London. Of course, she couldn’t be certain she’d find him there, but she had a hunch. It just made sense. He’d once told her that, to him, the worst place in the world was a flat he had shared with his father in London. It only seemed logical to hide in a place where you were least expected. Oh, how she wished she didn’t know exactly where to find him…
Pulling out a black messenger bag, she began stuffing handfuls of unfolded, wrinkled clothes and other necessities into it. Raven didn’t even care at this point.
As she chaotically pulled out clothes, a piece of parchment caught her eye as it fell to the floor. Unsure of what it was, she picked it up and examined it. It was an unmarked envelope. Turning it over, examining the broken wax seal, it dawned on her what she was holding. It was the letter; the awful letter that had brought her world crashing down around her. With a shaky hand, she lifted the flap of the envelope and pulled out the piece of parchment it held. Knowing already what it said, Raven looked over the words, so perfectly scrawled, on the parchment.
[i]Raven, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. I know we’ve had some great times together and we had plans to have more for a long time, but things just don’t seem right to me lately. It’s just not the same between us. We’re both busy with school and other things. We don’t see each other often enough and I’m going to have even more on my plate soon. I think I’m going to join the order. We’re not going to have any time for each other. This is hard for me to say, but I think we should see other people. It’s hard for me to explain why. We’re just not clicking anymore. I think we’re just not suited for each other. We rarely see each other as it is, so I doubt I’ll see you anymore. I hope everything goes well for you in life. Take care of yourself. I guess this is goodbye. AJ[/i]
Actually seeing the words in front of her sent a wave of anger flooding through her body. She wanted to cry until she was drained of energy. She wanted to break things until there was nothing left unscratched. She wanted to scream until her voice fled her. None of these things, however, she had time for. She had to push her emotions to the side. No longer could Raven allow herself to feel anything more than bitter hatred for the Hufflepuff boy that she’d once been willing to give up all she had for. He didn’t want her and that was that. He didn’t deserve her anyway. Never in a million years did he deserve her. After all, he was a muggleborn. No, he was a mudblood.
She was about to crumple up the letter from AJ, but stopped herself. Just the way she had done the first time she’d read it. And the second time. And third. She could never bring herself to do it though. It was one of the last things that Raven had left from him and, no matter how much it hurt her, she couldn’t destroy it. She couldn’t just throw away something she knew he’d thought out, touched, and written. It was for that same reason that she’d never dropped the ring he’d given her in the Lake. In fact, she’d never even taken it off. Raven could never let anyone see it though. That would show she had a weakness; a soft spot. Instead of keeping it on her finger, she hung it from a long silver chain and wore it, concealed, beneath her school robes.
Carefully, as to not rip the envelope or the parchment, Raven put the letter back in the envelope and tossed it in her trunk. She then changed into a pair of black jeans, a long sleeve green shirt and trainers, ditching her uniform messily on the bed. Quickly, she headed into the washroom to wash her tear stained face, at least she stopped crying, and brushed her waist length black hair. After she was satisfied with her appearance, she returned to her dorm. Raven put her hooded black cloak over herself, pulling the hood up, grabbing her broom from under her bed and throwing her bag over her shoulder. Taking a quick look around to make sure she hadn’t forgotten anything, Raven nodded to herself before pocketing her wand and heading for the door.
Raven hurried through the common room, out into the dungeon corridor and up into the Entrance Hall. Time was of the essence so she couldn’t hang around anywhere for very long. Quickly and quietly, she pushed open the heavy oak doors to the grounds. It wasn’t late, but the sky was already dark. This worked to her advantage since the night sky provided decent cover. In no time, she crossed the grounds, entering into the Forbidden Forrest.
When she felt like she was deep enough into the forest that she could escape unseen, Raven mounted her broom and headed off towards London.
OOC: I hope it's long enough. I'm Izzie, and I'm also applying for a proffessor, if you don't mind.

Full Name ;; Annette Chevalier Bloodline ;; Half-Werewolf Appearance ;; She is of medium height, with reddish brown hair and a faintly freckled face. Her eyes are deep and golden. A slightly protruding nose, and delicate lips. Personality ;; Annette is a strange girl. The werewolf blood runs in her, and with it comes a sense of pride, a fiery temper, and a loud personality. It is almost as if Annette has a dual personality - most of the time she is fun and friendly, loud and entertaining, with a fantastic sense of humour. Yes, she can be insensitive and arrogant, but Annette is also very romantic and not at all tomboyish - on the contrary, she is feminine and flirtacious. But around the time when the moon is full, she changes completely. Annette becomes short tempered and violent. She snaps at any little thing and holds no respect for anyone, adult or child. She screams, she cries, she throws things - and she doesn't care who the hell she hurts. Friends are wary of her sudden mood swings, and avoid her around the week when the moon is at its fullest. During this time Annette also develops a taste for meat and a sadistic dislike for small animals. Another thing - while she is in her phase, those who do not know of her mixed blood may find her more interesting and, in the case of the opposite gender, more attractive. She certainly become very aware of boys around the full moon. When she comes out of her 'werewolf phase', for a couple of days she is quiet and sorrowful of her behaviour. Then, for three weeks or so, she returns to the loud, flirty, happy person she truly is. Then, the cycle begins again. A vicious circle, with no beginning and no end... how long is it until, in one of her rages, she does something violent? History ;; Her father was a Muggle and her mother a witch. Her father had been bitten by a Death Eater werewolf before she was born, and the bite brought him suddenly into the wizarding world. Shortly after her birth, Annette's father commited suicide, and her mother Megane was forced to bring her and her also half-breed brother up on her own. Despite the problems of bringing up two half-breed children, Megane tried her best and never gave up trying to 'tame' Annette. Roleplay Sample ;; Please Lord, keep the beast asleep. Please Lord, keep the beast asleep... Annette Chevalier prayed as she sat silently on the bench at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. All around her, children of the same age as she - 11-12 years old - were busy scribbling away at their applications, quills scratching, tongues sticking out as they tried hard to keep the parchment blot-free and neat. Everyone wanted to make a good first impression on the place that would be their home for seven years. Annette's own application sat as it had done for the last five minutes before her - clean and empty. Please Lord, keep the beast asleep. Please Lord, keep the beast asleep... Annette's mind was not on the scrap of paper in front of her, the scrap of paper which would allocate her to one of the three houses of Beauxbatons Academy. No, she was trying with all her might to keep her other half asleep. It was nearing the full moon again, and the last thing Annette wanted was to start her new school year as a fiery, aggressive, unmanageable beast. First impressions stuck; she knew that. "Five minutes, first years." One of the professors spoke, her voice magnified so it rang through the hall. "Five minutes." Damn! Hurriedly, Annette picked up her quill and looked down at the paper. Name, age, wand, pet. Etcetera, etcetera. It seemed easy enough. Name, Annette Chevalier. Age, 12. Wand, Dragon heartstring and ebony, 18 inches, supple. Pet... none. Describe yourself in 5 sentences ... Annette closed her eyes and cursed. How the hell was she meant to describe her hellish life in 5 sentences? My father was a werewolf and killed himself after I was born. Every month I become aggressive, violent and bloodthirsty. During this time I sleep on the floor curled into a ball, and eat only rare meat. I also enjoy knitting, sketching and reading. I am so excited about coming here and making new friends. Yeah, right. The professors would take one look at the paper, and chuck her out of the school. "One minute left..." Oh, what the hell, Annette decided. They deserved to know the truth. She quickly scribbled down the few sentences and folded the paper. "If you are ready, form a queue and toss your paper into the goblet, please." Moment of truth... Annette stood up and walked straight to the front of the queue of meek schoolchildren. Suddenly she felt brave and light-headed. No, no please no... Lord, keep the beast asleep... But it was too late. The old Annette faded from consciousness and the beast took her place, her golden eyes suddenly alight with a deep, dark pleasure. The girl's entire body language changed - suddenly she was strutting, confident, eyeing up the other children with something like loathing. She took her place, seventh in the queue, and awaited her result. Already she could smell the meat roasting in the kitchens, several floors below. Christ, I may aswell be bitten...

Full Name ;; Leon Chevalier (brother of Annette - they are non-identical twins. I think they look pretty similar ) Bloodline ;; Half-Blood Appearance ;; Quite tall, at 6'0, and fairly slim with lean muscles. A faintly freckled face and blueish eyes. Sandy-coloured hair. A softly sculpted mouth and clear skin. Personality ;; Leon is surprisingly sensitive and thoughtful for a guy. He is often quiet in class, but when he does participate, his answers are intelligent and thoughtful. He is a dream of a housemate - neat, tidy and with a passion for cooking. Unlike his fiery-tempered sister, Leon has virtually no breaking-point and rarely shows his anger. The werewolf blood seems to have not affected him at all. When it comes to girls, Leon is quite romantic. He treats everyone equally, but his shyness does get the better of him - he will rarely come outright and tell someone he likes her. When nervous, he fidgets and coughs. Often, when uncomfortable in a social situation, he will make some ludicrious excuse, i.e "Oh dear, the bed's on fire" and escape. Leon also has a great sense of humour, although he only ever makes jokes around his closest friends. When the full moon comes, the only change in Leon's behaviour is that he becomes restless, often doesn't sleep, and stays quieter than ever. He also becomes extremely protective of his twin sister and is often the only person who forgives her crazy moods. In addition, Leon is a worrier. He worries constantly over his sister's condition, over how other people are feeling, over how he could change his behaviour so that others would feel better. This can annoy people, when he is constantly asking if they are allright. Leon is easily manipulated by the wrong kind of people. He never sees the worst in anyone, and will be blissfully unaware until the end. History ;; Leon's mother is a witch, and his father was a Muggle. A year or so before his birth, his father was bitten by a werewolf. A few months after Leon and Annette were born, he commited suicide. Their mother Felicity brought them up herself despite Annette's difficult nature. Naturally Leon did most of the work around the house - cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing. His mother was always too busy with Annette. Leon was never really close to her. Instead he turned his love towards his only pet, a beautiful silver Persian called Olivia. The cat lived like a princess, and when the twins went to Hogwarts, she came with Leon. He has to remember to keep the cat away from Annette around the full moon.
Roleplay Sample ;;
The hall was packed - the very air was solid and hard to breathe in. Leon sat crammed inbetween two very bulky boys. He had been separated from his non-identical twin sister Annette as they filed into the hall. She had seemed distant, distracted - Leon knew why. The moon was almost full and the beast within her was waking. Leon felt desperately sorry for her as he watched her staring blankly at the application in front of her. Leon turned his mind to his own application. Quickly, writing in a neat, slanted script, he filled in all the basics. Now there was a large box entitled "Describe yourself in five sentences." Absent-mindedly, without thinking about it, Leon wrote some rubbish about his neatness, his beloved Olivia, his wonderful sister. Eight minutes to go, and Leon sat back, and took a moment to look around him. The hall was beautiful. Ornately decorated, it reminded him of a fairytale castle, tucked deep in the French countryside. He would have to sketch one of the mythical designs on the walls. His blue eyes flickered around him, and he smiled silently. This was home. He could feel it in the air. A chance to get away from the always-too-busy mother who only ever fussed over Annie, and never stopped to check on her other child. Away from the tiny, dirty, cramped house that still smelt of death. Only Leon and Olivia, in this beautiful palace. A new beginning. A new life

Full Name ;;Viodalia Jane Rodriguez Bloodline ;;3/4 blood Appearance ;;[/IMG] Personality ;;Viodalia is a very strong willed girl, with a deep determination to get things done. She will go to the very bottom of the problem. Then pull out as much dirt and information as she can, possibly find on that. While she does have a very fast temper, it don't take much to set her off. You could look at her wrong and she would be all over you faster, then you could say there goes trouble. This side of her is mostly seen when she gets, frusterated or on full moons. While on the other hand she is a interesting person to be around. She is normally the one seen hanging with her friends, and causing trouble. With pranks that she pulls constantly with her very small group of friends. She is very loyal, as her father has taught her grand values about being close to family. She also keeps her friends close and her enemies closer, if she believes she has been crossed it will be there last mistake. Cause she won't only take them down physically if she had half the chance. But also socially, mentally and emotionally, this girl has no remorse. Which is one of her downfalls, it also could be chalked up to her Latino heritage. She tries to avoid getting upset, or saddened because she believes it's a sign of weakness. To her saddness is only for the weak of mind, and hearted. While she tries to avoid situtations that are potentially saddening to her. She does get involved in them at times like any normal person, and when she does get sad she will keep to herself. Along with lock herself into her room keeping away from people who could see her in such a state. Along with the fact that she will draw, or plot another prank that she could do to cheer herself up.
History ;; Viodalia was born in Rosswell, New Mexico in October to Marcus Rodriguez and Cindy Rodriguez. She was the only child out of the two, they had met back in france when they were in school. Soon after they graduated Cindy moved to New york America, while Marcus moved to Rosswell New Mexico when he joined the military in the muggle world. Well Cindy Di'Leona as was her mothers maiden name, met back up with Markus when they both had a chance meeting in chicago. Her mother had went there for a job interview, with the Gucci cloths line for some of her idea's. Since she was a fashion designer, her father having gone there as he went on leave from the military for the time being. They dated for about six months, after Cindy had gotten her job of course. Around the sixth month he proposed, and a month later they were married. Now around a week or two after the couple was married along came Viodalia. Her mother was supposed to have been unable to conceive, the doctors couldn't figure out how they ended up getting pregnant with viodalia. Little did they know though, it wasn't just a mistake but they tried many many magical ways of concieving. Her mother being a half blood and her father a 1/4th blood to her it was there combined efforts that helped along with the higher councile as well. Well as she grew older, she was always a smart rambunctious and hyper girl. She sometimes drove her poor parents insane at times. The way she was constantly pulling little pranks here and there. She went to a normal school like any kid, and was raised more or less on the military base her father was stationed on. Her mother working from the base for her job while sending idea's in Via Email. Sometimes she would have to go off base of course, for meetings and such but that was about it. Both her parents treated her very well actually, when she discovered her abilities they encouraged her to not be afraid of them. So on her 11th birthday, they signed young viodalia up at Beauxbatons Academy. The same place both had went to when they were younger. Now she just wonders every now and then how her first year is gonna turn out, hopefully not that bad.
Roleplay Sample ;;
Code:
She had just gotten on the plain, heading over to london. Her mother having sent her off with a hundred dollars for her trip there. Where she could if need be, switch it to galleon's, which her mothered had warned her of. Since she knew that was the currency they took there, as her mother was born and raised in london. It was a long enough flight for her and it drove her crazy. The screaming kids, the nagging adults god this was worse then the base. Her mind drifted as she put her Ipod buds, in her ears and resting her head back against the seat. She knew first impressions made the biggest impact on people, she had learned that the hard way. The way she was constantly being called a army brat, in every school she had ever gone to because of her fathers muggle job. It was a good two day flight before they finally landed, getting off the plane she ran her stuff through security of course. Tapping her foot slightly as she went to the train station, she was supposed to be at. Her eyes looking up rapidly every now and then at the clock, brushing her hair out of her eyes. Singing along to her Ipod she laughed some pulling the buds from her ears hearing the conductor. "All first years board now!" This being her que she grabbed her bags, and things she needed along with her ticket she hopped on board. Glancing to her tickets compartment she nodded as she made her way back sitting down after putting her things up. She wondered what this place looked like, her mother and father had told her some funny stories. Like the time they had made a potion that was supposed to help them levitate, but instead made them stick to the ground even more. Her mother blamed her father, and her father blamed her mother. She could have just pictured that scenerio playing out, it would have been funny. Sitting her pet carrier on her lap she looked in at the Siamese cat that was inside. It's slit eyes seeming to glow a deep green as it meowed in disdain, from being put inside the carrier it so deeply hated. She laughed softly as she cooed gently to the cat, who she so nicely named Miss Night Crawler. Since the only time the Siamese cat was ever seen, was mostly at night or when it wasn't jumping out at you from the dark corners. She slipped in a cat treat as she whispered gently to the feline " Shh it's alright, you will be able to get out of that cramped space soon." The cat just looking at her and laying down flicking it's tail in a disgruntled manner.

Full Name - Zanna Jaquelyn Lafeu - Zane for short
Bloodline - Muggle born
Appearance -
Personality - Zanna is a sweet girl who enjoys having a good time. She is strong and confident, but is also selfish and vain. Not quick to make friends because she is constantly judging others, the friends she does have she is either looking down on them or comparing herself to them. If a friend were to get in her way of getting what she wants, she would betray them in order to get it.
History - Growing up outside of France with her parents, Zanna was an only child. Though her parents tried to have others, they were unable to conceive a sibling for Zanna, which suited her just fine. Her father, unknown to her mother, dotes upon his daughter every chance he gets only worsening the vanity and shrewdness. Growing up she would play her parents to get her way, developing her into the cruel person she has become.
Though they have tried to calm her, Zanna's parents were unsuccessful. They tried not spending money on her, not giving her the things she wanted, but one way or another thye always broke down and gave her what she wanted. Knowing how to manipulate her parents she tried it on her friends and other family members and found it was not as easy to con them, but it worked some of the time.
Roleplay Sample -
Walking franticly around her room, Zanna tossed books, blankets, shirts, pants, anything that got in her way of finding what she was looking for. Not at all worried about the mess she was making, she cursed very loudly and thew more cloths across the room. No matter how long it took or how much she had to destroy her room she was going to find what she was looking for. All her cloths had been ripped from her closet and dresser, lingerie was scattered all over the floor, her silk blankets were hanging haphazardly off the bed and more than one picture frame had been broken, but still Zanna had not found what she was searching for. What am I looking for, she thought, stopping to place her hands on her hips and scan her mess. Unable to remember what it was that she had started making all this mess for, she walked to her bed and sat down to think.
After several long minutes of thinking Zanna snapped her fingers and scoffed, My ring. That's what all this mess was about, smiling to herself she stood up an began making her way towards her bedroom door, I know where it is, I took it off before my shower last night and left it on the sink. Completely ignoring the piles of mess that littered the room, Zanna opened the door and glidded to her bathroom, where sure enough, her ring sat, glinting in the light. Once her ring was back on her delicate finger, Zanna left the bathroom and head off towards the front doors, but on her way she saw her mother cleaning the living room. Stopping to watch without offering to help, she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Since you're already cleaning, my room could use a little tidying up." Zanna stated. "You wouldn't mind would you?" Zanna knew once her mother agreed to do it, no matter how bad her room was she would never back out.
Without looking at her daughter, Zanna's mother nodded, "Yes, alright, once I get this room done I can do yours."
"Thanks." Zanna smirked and started to leave, "Don't work too hard." With that Zanna left the house.

Full Name: Victoria Marie (Goes by Vee) Devereux
Bloodline: Half blood
Appearance: Sorry this is so big. I can't get it any smaller for some obnoxious reason.
History: Victoria Marie Devereux was brought into the world on a snowy Tuesday in December. Victoria is often described as being vivacious and quite a character and is adamant on the fact that she will not be referred to as Victoria but as her prefered nickname, Vee. Vee's mother died giving birth to her, leaving Vee and her older brother alone with their father.
Vee's family has an interesting history. Her father, Charles Devereux the 3rd, was born into the wealthiest pure-blood family in Paris, France. Vee's father did not attend Beauxbatons but attended Hogwarts, where he broke the Devereux tradition of being sorted in Slytherin when he was placed in Ravenclaw. However, Vee's mother, Renee Adams, attended Beauxbatons and was happily in Bontecou, the house that Vee hopes to join. Renee, being muggle-born, was the first member of her family to ever have magical powers and so she worked extremely hard. Charles was 3 years older then Renee and both worked in the ministry. Renee worked below him but they quickly became fast friends and eventually began dating. Charles' family threatened to disown him if he did not stop seeing Renee but by the time this happened Charles already knew Renee was his soulmate. Vee grew up never knowing her father's family, and only having her dad, brother, and her mother's parents to raise her. Her father works late hours at the ministry so Vee spent a lot of time with her mother's father learning all about the history of American jazz, because her grandfather was a musician. Vee is in love with music but hopes to pursue a career in medicine as a healer. Vee sadly doesn't remember her mother, having only known her for an hour on the day she was born but has a collection of items that belonged to her, and keeps a copy of her parent's wedding photo with her.
Personality: Vee is definitely her grandfather's grandchild, absorbing all his interests in jazz music and the classics. She is constantly spotted in her hometown of London, England sporting a fedora and listening to one of many CDs she owns of the blues. Vee is an average girl with a passion for the arts. However, Vee is a serious and extremely studious student and is hoping to be sorted into Bontecou, the house her mother belonged to. Like most teenage girls Vee is a little boy crazy and has always dreamed of having the type of whirl-wind romance her parents did. She hopes that one day she will save the world or at least rock it! She hopes to become a healer or a musician. Due to her parent's heritages she is also bilingual, knowing English and her father's native tongue of French. In school her favorite subject are transfiguration, defense against the dark arts, and ancient runes. Her dad introduced her to quidditch at a young age, hoping Vee would have his nature abilities as a keeper. Vee hopes to make the quidditch team but would prefer to be a chaser or a seeker. Vee is thrilled to be finally attending Beauxbatons and promises she will stay out of trouble. Or at least she will try.
Sample RP: Vee nervously drummed her fingers against the dashboard of her father's 5 year old car, anticipating the ultimate moment where she would have to leave her family for a whole year. Of course she was excited about going, this school is another connection she had to her mother. She wanted to see exactly where her mom had grown up. But then again she was nervous. She had attended the same primary school in England all her life with the same friends who had no idea she was a witch. Vee looked over at her dad. She saw him carefully trying to follow the directions he was given, however, it looked as if he was struggling. Vee was going to miss her family, it was particularly tough saying good bye to the only sibling she had. Her brother, Jake (aka Jacob), was a 7th year at Hogwarts. Jake was planning on switching schools to Beauxbatons this year , however, that all changed when he was made Head Boy. Her dad could not have been prouder when Jake was awarded the position. Her dad was Head Boy and she knew he was glad that Jake was following in his footsteps. Vee's stomach did another turn when she realized that once she got to school, she would be alone. Meeting new friends was scary enough, but being away from her brother was what really scared her. She ran through her mental checklist again. Text books? Check. School uniform? Check. Fedora? Check. Vee looked at the window and watched as once again the horizons of her hometown fly by. The butterflies in her stomach were fluttering, making Vee feel a little sick. Vee closed her eyes and only thought about breathing. It was just a new school, she could do it. Inhale. Exhale.
