About You
What should we call you? How about My Queen? Or Ruler of the World? I like them both. However, if you must, you may also call me Lauren, Elle, or Ellie.
What is your gender? Female
How can we get in touch with you? Email. I check it much more often than needed.
How did you know we were here? I was already a part of this site, but before that I saw someone advertising on Neopets.
Did you read all of the rules? I solemnly swear that I read the rules.
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.

Samantha McGraw pulled her bags out of the trunk of her mother’s car and turned to her. “Are you sure you’ll be alright?” her mother asked worriedly.
“I’ll be fine, mom.” She assured her for the umpteenth time that day.
“Do you need me to go in with you?” Sam smiled patiently.
“No, mom. I’ll be fine.” She answered.
“You promise to call and write?”
“Yes mom.”
Her mother took one final look around before leaning down and kissing her daughter.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
“Be safe.”
“I will.” After a few last minute instructions her mother finally got into the car and drove off. Sam let out a sigh of relief. She loved her mother to death, although she could be a little much at times. But Sam knew she only wanted what was best for her.
That’s why she was here. When she had first discovered that she could read people’s minds, she had gone straight to the internet. She had found a website leading to the school, which her mom had fully supported. She pushed her shoulder length brown hair behind her ears, from which green earrings dangled. She hoped she was dressed okay.
She had put on tan corduroys, a white t-shirt with the words “You Get What You See” glimmering in gold on the front, a short jean jacket, and her lucky aqua sneakers. Finally deciding to take the plunge, she picked up her bags and headed towards the front doors.
Walking inside the school Sam pulled out her map she had downloaded the night before of the campus. She quickly headed towards the guidance office.
“Hello dear, name?” an older lady asked. Sam quickly gave her name and was given, in return, a packet. Finally finding her room she dumped her stuff and opened the folder. She found a list of rules, her class schedule and other information. Ditching her stuff she headed back outside with only her black messenger bag and her determination.

How many characters do you currently have on this board? One. Professor Minerva McGonagall.
Anything else you want to tell us before we begin?Hmmm. I’m a huge fan of Taylor Swift. Yeah, that’s about it. Oh, I’m sixteen. Yahoo!

Fears:

Tics, Quirks & Habits: When I lie I stutter terribly and avoid eye contact. I must have at least two good quills with me at all times in case of emergency. None of my food is allowed to touch.
Pet Peeves:
• arrogance (i.e. James Potter, Sirius Black)
• discrimination
• bullying
Favorite sounds and smells: I love the sound and smell of rain pouring down, chocolate chip cookies, apples and cinnamon, classical music, and James Potter getting yelled at and/or beaten up.
Have you ever met a boggart? What does it look like? Yes, once when I was a second year. It was quite awful, I saw myself failing out of Hogwarts and being sent to Azkaban for pure incompitance.
Can you cast Patronus? What does it look like? What memory do you use? My patronus takes the form of a doe, and I use the memory of when I first found out I was a witch and was coming to this school.
What is the worst memory Dementors bring forward? The summer when I discovered my powers, my sister found out and was terribly upset. It was extremely awful.
If you were to find the Mirror of Erised, what would you see? I would see myself getting a good job and someday coming back to Hogwarts to teach, because I love this school with every fiber in my being.
Tell me a couple secrets about yourself: Oh dear, that’s terribly personal isn’t it? I really wish not to…. But, um, I quite like time to myself because it allows me to collect my thoughts. I sometimes imagine what life would be like if I wasn’t a witch and perhaps my sister would feel closer to me.
Personality: I’m very honest and real. I say what I mean and I don’t lie. Lying is pointless, because in the end the truth will always be revealed and then you’re quite stuck because of the lie you once told. I love my friends and family and I cannot stand some people that are jealous of me. I work hard for what I have and if someone else wants to be like me, work hard- do not be angry with me for achieving goals while you sit around lazily and sleep your way through life.
Looks
Distinguishing Features: Oh my, this is quite embarrassing, but I have a birthmark on my bum. Other than that, my bright red hair is quite obvious, and my freckles and emerald eyes. My complexion is quite pale, causing my freckles to stick out even more, and when I blush it's quite alarming.
Not-so-distinguishing features: The look of concentration I always have on my face, and I always have a pair of diamond stud earrings on, which I received on my eighth birthday, which was the year I my ears pierced.
Appearance: As we’ve already established, my hair, eyes, and freckles. Also my skin is often complimented because it’s so pale and clear. And I’m usually in my robes for school, if not that then a simple pair of jeans and a sweater. I have quite a selection of Muggle clothes which I enjoy wearing, because I find the patterns and stitching rather simple and elegant.
Place of Birth: Spinners End, England
Immediate family: My mother and father mean the world to me, as does my older sister Petunia.
Extended family: My mum is one of three children and my dad is one of five, so you can imagine how crowded a family gathering is! I’ve also heard that Petunia has met a boy she’s quite fond of. Vertis or something…. Of course she’s quite too young for marriage yet.
Other important people: My closest friend Severus Snape, and my other peers that I adore.
Pets: No, though at home we do have a large tabby cat named Helen. She’s not very nice…
History: I was born on crisp winter day and am often told my mum wasn't sure if they would be able to make it to the hospital due to the snow. I was very happy growing up in Spinners End. I had plenty of friends through the neighborhood but my sister Petunia was always my best friend. For almost my entire life I tried to please her, desperately craving her acceptance and approval. But as soon as I found out I was a witch she was devastated. I think part of it was jealousy, but most of it was hatred and spite. I arrived at Hogwarts five years ago and realized that this is the most wonderful place in the world because I belong here and I’m accepted for who I am. Which is why I’m so very headstrong now, because I’m confident that I can succeed here and because now I have people that support me for who I really am.
Misc
Anything else you want to share? No, thank you.

I'm going to say no right now, because Lily is a very central character, and this app just doesn't seem to do her justice. I'd like to see more detail, especially in areas like personality, appearance, and history. I don't think you mention anywhere that she has red hair and green eyes. I mean, we all know that, yeah, but that's kinda something that goes in an app.

Also, she's in Gryffindor, not Gryffendor. Again, this is a major character, so you need to really want to play her, which means making sure your application is top-notch.

Unfortunately, you've been beat to the punch. Please feel free to try for another character.
