About You What should we call you? Ruka What is your gender? Female How can we get in touch with you? PM, or at hinata_loves_neji@yahoo.com (I would give you my YIM, but I haven't been able to get on for months now...) How did you know we were here? Neopets. Advertised by Spider. Did you read all of the rules? Yep. Show us a sample post, from any game. A recent one would be nice. Doesn’t have to be the character you’re applying for.
How many characters do you currently have on this board? None. Anything else you want to tell us before we begin? I'm gay. Crack hurtful jokes, and I WILL ignore you. About Your Character Basics Full name: Aurora Sinistra Nicknames: I was called Rora, mostly, while at school, and I am still called so by the VERY few friends I have. Ancestry: I don't know, but neither of my adoptive parents were muggles. So, I must be at least a half-blood, as I spent my first few years in a Ministry-run orphanage. Gender: Female Age: 27 Birthday: November 23, 1948 Sorted into: I was a Slytherin, however most people said I should have been a Ravenclaw. Who do you follow? I try to keep out of politics for the most part, but if I had to choose, I would say I follow Professor Dumbeldore. Wand: Twelve-and-a-half inches long; Dragon heart-string core; iron wood. Personal Sexuality: I prefer not to label myself, however, if I must give myself a definition, I am a lesbian. Likes: Astronomy The planet Uranus Reading Writing Women Coffee Cats Dislikes: Men Homophobic people Water Dogs Strengths: I'm quite good at arithmancy, along with charms and transfiguration, however debate are where my strengths truly lie, outside of astronomy, of course. Weaknesses: Strangely enough, I have never been more than adequate in potions. Care of magical creatures was not a subject I took, and divination was out of the question, as I took astronomy. Defense against the dark arts... well, I did little better in that that in potions. Goals: My one goal is to finally admit my feelings to the woman I love, however I suppose that is more of an impossible dream rather than a goal. Fears: I fear ending up alone, with no-one to love or be loved by. Tics, Quirks & Habits: I'm not sure if I would call it a "quirk" or a “habit”, per se, but I require at least five cups of coffee each morning to function properly, as all my classes are at night. Pet Peeves: Homophobic people, students sleeping in my classes, and students complaining overly much about the homework I give them. Favorite sounds and smells: My favorite smell would have to be that of a brand-new book, and a certain someone's perfume. My favorite sound? Her laughter. Have you ever met a boggart? What does it look like? No, I have never met a boggart. Can you cast Patronus? What does it look like? What memory do you use? No, sadly I cannot cast a patronus. What is the worst memory Dementors bring forward? My worst memory is coming home for the Easter holidays in my seventh year to find my adoptive parents murdered. If you were to find the Mirror of Erised, what would you see? I have looked into the Mirror of Erised, and though I have never told Dumbeldore of this, I think, ironically, he is the only one who knows. I saw myself standing beside the one I love. We were holding hands, unabashed at our relationship. I sometimes dream of seeing that again, however I know it will always remain just that: a dream for when the nights get too cold, too lonely, or too dark. A comforting wish, which I know will never come true. Tell me a couple secrets about yourself: I had braces from my second year until my fifth, and then from fifth on I had a retainer for my bottom set of teeth and one for my top set of teeth. I lost my retainers when I made the move into the astronomy tower… and I have yet to look for them or accio them. Personality: I have been told I'm quiet, reserved, and altogether too smart for my own good. People have also said I tend to be passionate about subjects that interest me. Looks Distinguishing Features: One of my eyes is a deep emerald green, while the other is a deep sapphire blue. Not-so-distinguishing features: My nose. My nose is small and slightly up-turned, something I never did really like, but didn't bother with ever changing, as people said, and still say, that it's "cute". Appearance: My hair is short, wavy and brown. Simple as that. Not very exiting I know, but that's the plain truth. My face is oval-shaped, with a small mouth, nose and ears to boot. My forehead is slightly wide-set, which is why I mostly wear bangs to cover it. My skin is somewhat pale, as I don't get out much, being the astronomy teacher. As for my body, I have never been what you would call "muscular". Toned or athletic, perhaps, but not muscular. I have always disliked my chest size, and so I tend to wear mostly loose-fitting clothing. My thighs bother me somewhat, but other than that, my body type isn't all that remarkable. Place of Birth: Wales, England. Immediate family: My adoptive parents are no-longer with me, and I have no other family that I know of. Extended family: None that I know of. Other important people: My colleges, perhaps, but I really don't take much notice of them when I'm not in the astronomy tower. Pets: I have a female Birman cat. History: I spent the first few years of my life in a Ministry-run orphanage. After being adopted, my life went from sad and lonely to loved and happy. My adoptive parents cared about me more than anyone ever had. Aside from a burst of accidental magic when I was eight, which caused the change of my left eye from emerald green to sapphire blue, my child hood and early Hogwarts years were quite unremarkable. However, that all changed when I turned fifteen, and came out to my parents after having been out to my classmates for a month or so. Our relationship became strained after that, however I never loved them any less, though I suspect they grew to love me less. Most of what friends I had deserted me after that, but I simply devoted myself to my studies, and didn't really miss them. I tried to isolate myself as much as possible through-out my sixth and seventh years, however she was always there, keeping me from becoming completely isolated. Around the end of my seventh year, I realized I loved her. But, I also knew that she would never think of me as anything more than a friend, and so I've kept my feelings to myself until now. For two years after I graduated Hogwarts, I worked as the accountant for Eeylops Owl Emporium. It was a good job and challenged my arithmancy skills, however I wasn't very happy with the job. When I turned nineteen, I decided to look for a different occupation, perhaps one which tested my astronomy skills. Needless to say, when I received a letter requesting that I teach astronomy here at Hogwarts, I jumped at the chance. Finally, I thought, something that will truly test my skills, and a job I can truly be passionate about. I made the move from my flat in London in that same year, and have been teaching at Hogwarts happily for the past seven years. Now, if only I could work up the nerve to tell her how I truly feel... Misc Anything else you want to share? Not that I can think of... Edited by Ruka, Jun 17 2009, 04:32 PM.

Couple things to note-Dumbledore has an 'e' on the end, and you missed one instance of third person "I have always disliked her chest size." Other than that, it looks pretty good. I'd like to see a little more history, though, especially a bit about how long she's been teaching at Hogwarts. Other than that, she looks good. If you could just make those tweaks, I'll be happy to accept her. |
