About You
What should we call you? Elle works best.
What is your gender? Female
How can we get in touch with you? Email works best.
How did you know we were here? Neopets ad.
Did you read all of the rules? Yes I did.
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.

A fourth year girl timidly pushed her way through the crowd into the Main Hallway of Hogwarts. She pushed her untidy red hair away from her face and straightened her robes. Her name? Evangeline Weasley. Daughter of Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley. Yes, she was one of -those-
Weasley’s and she was proud!

Everyone said she was a spitting image of her father, but had her mother's personality. Which, when she thought about it, was true. She would much rather stay at home on a Saturday night and read or come up with some new experiment then bother going out. The only difference between her and her mother was potions. She loved them with all her heart.

For her eighth birthday her parents had given her her very own potions kit. And she had been experimenting ever since. She wasn't half bad, either. She had tested some of her potions on her Uncles Fred and George and they had turned quite well. Her dream was to become a Potions Master. She was pretty easy to get along with, as well.

She just had one rule, DON'T call her Evangeline. It's Angie. Nothing else. She hated her own name, but unfortunately, that was not up to her. She shoved her way through the crowd a bit more and joined her fellow Gryffindor's for breakfast. Loading her plate with sausage, toast, and syrup (Oh, how she loved syrup...) she surveyed the room.

How many characters do you currently have on this board? One. I applied for another but was beat out for it, which I’m fine with. Her application was ten times better than my own.
Anything else you want to tell us before we begin? I really took my time on this app and I think it might be my best one yet!

Having to go on a date with Peter Pettigrew (he seems nice enough but he’s extremely strange and a bit scary at times…)
Tics, Quirks & Habits: I constantly fiddle with lose pieces of hair and bite my nails. I always clean my room, everyday, no matter what. It must be clean or I can’t rest. Everything I come in contact with must be clean. I always brush my teeth with my right hand and wave with my left. I rarely smile showing teeth in a photograph purely out of habit.
Pet Peeves: I cannot stand it when someone reads outloud, it’s annoying. I also hate when people make lots of noise when I’m trying to sleep. And dirt- if anything is dirty I’ll go crazy. Really. I promise.
Favorite sounds and smells: Oh, Beethoven is amazing! I love anything composed by him. Also my mum’s voice, it’s very soothing and peaceful. I love the sound of waves crashing or rain falling and that silence you hear if you’re outside in the middle of the night and all is calm in the world. That silence is music to my ears, as is laughter. I love the smell of any type of food, doesn’t matter what kind, and babies. Babies always smell very good and no one seems to know the reason why. I also love the smell of my pillow, it smells like home.
Have you ever met a boggart? What does it look like? Surprisingly no, I have not. A few years back when the class got to duel them I was in the hospital wing with the flu. I heard it was great fun though. I believe if I had been there to participate it would have been of myself being locked in a small room that was filthy. I doubt I could handle that, as it would probably cause me to pass out from sheer anxiety and level of discomfort it would cause me.
Can you cast Patronus? What does it look like? What memory do you use? Yes, I’m quite good at casting a Patronus. Mine takes the form of a unicorn. I use the memory of my eleventh birthday, when I finally got my letter from Hogwarts. I’d been waiting for it for so long the joy I received when it finally came was amazing. My entire family took me out to celebrate in Diagon Alley.
What is the worst memory Dementors bring forward? The death of my grandmother. I was nine when it happened and it was unbearable. She was terribly sick and had been in St. Mungo’s for the past few months before she passed on. Gammy and I were very close, I often sit and remember the times when we would sit and knit together. She taught me how at a very young age so we could have a special activity just for the two of us to share.
If you were to find the Mirror of Erised, what would you see? Gammy still alive, next to me and smiling. She would be visiting me at Hogwarts and telling me how proud she is of me and that I haven’t let her down.
Tell me a couple secrets about yourself: Well, I have a large crush on Sirius Black. That’s about as secretive as I get. Most of the things about me I’m not afraid to share. I’m not ashamed of who I am so I’m usually happy to tell you anything you wish to know.
Personality: I'm very outgoing and often excited for no reason. I'm loud and obnoxious when I want to be, and love having attention. I'm funny and witty and smart and I'm pretty, not jaded, but honest, you know it's true! I often sing when I speak and I love to repeat things when I'm excited, and I'm terrible at keeping secrets.
Looks
Distinguishing Features: My eyes! I’m always told that I have lovely brown eyes that sparkle, particularly when I’m excited. I have a series of freckles along my shoulders, and a birthmark on the bottom of my right foot. It’s in the shape of a heart, sort of….
Not-so-distinguishing features: My hair, I suppose. It’s rather long so it gets people’s attention. I often skip instead of walk for the simple reason that it’s more fun. I sometimes wear glasses, they’re blue and rectangular shaped, but only when my contacts are bothering me.
Appearance: I’m five foot two inches tall, so I’m incredibly short. People often call me a goblin as a joke, which I do not find funny. I’m not short, I’m fun-sized. I have long chocolate brown hair that goes down to my waist and it’s naturally wavy. I’m not thin, but not heavy either. Just normal weight, but I love my curves. I have brown eyes, as we’ve made clear, and my ears are pierces. I have a “button nose” which I suppose is cute. And I only wear shoes when absolutely necessary, because I love the feel of freedom between my toes.
Place of Birth: London, England. Not very exciting or original, but its home.
Immediate family: My parents are Jasmine and Henry Meadows and they’re quite young for parents. My mum had me when she was only twenty, and she had my brother at seventeen. I’m often told that they met at Hogwarts in their first year, fell in love, and were married as soon as they left. Not long after my older brother Jonah was born and three years after that I was brought into the world. My brother and I are extremely close, and after completing his Hogwarts schooling only last year he is now backpacking around the globe and writing to me often of his adventures. I miss him terribly, and I know mum and dad worry, but he’s incredibly smart and always had a good head on his shoulders, so I know he will be fine.
Extended family: My mother has a younger sister, Margaret, and I love Aunt Mags dearly. She is unmarried and currently on an excursion to find a royal family to marry into. We’re pretty well off, but to Mags it’s not about the money, it’s about the “hot royalty” as she puts it. Whatever makes her happy, I guess…. My father is an only child and all of my grandparents are dead except for his dad, Poppy. Poppy is a strong man and loves to work outside, he says the sun is his best friend and Mother Nature is his sister. I think he’s a bit of a nutter, but as I said before, to each his own. And Gammy was my mother’s mother, but I’ve already told you about her and I’m getting teary thinking too much about it, so I’ll stop here.
Other important people: My family is the most important thing to me, end of story. I love my friends, of course, as I seem to get along with just about anyone.
Pets: I have a grey owl named Lila, I got her when I was a second year and I love her very much.
History: I was born and raised in the countryside, where we had a large spacious home that was always filled with people. Mum loved to party-plan so we were always having a gathering of some sort. Whether it was a birthday party, anniversary, etcetera, the house was always full of familiar faces. My brother and I were attached at the hip and were always up to something. We loved playing pretend, the most common being he as a dragon and myself as a princess. Not exactly amazing, but we were young and it kept us quiet, so our parents applauded it. We also put on frequent shows consisting of whatever we could think of at the time for any and everyone willing to sit down and watch, craving the spotlight. In our opinion, it was always big enough for the both of us. We frequently played with the neighbor’s kids as well, a girl and a boy our ages named Henry and Millicent. Sadly they moved away right before Jonah left for school and we haven’t seen them since. I do hope they’re alright…. Anyway, we also spent a lot of time with our grandparents, who loved to tell us stories of their days at Hogwarts, which only made us that more eager for our own adventures to begin. Aunt Mags took a different approach, telling us about everything she did after school, which I believe to be the reason Jonah was so excited to travel the world, as Aunt Mags made it sound so appealing. I’ve considered it myself, and still keep that option open for a year taveling before I start my training to be a Healer. I want to do so much in my life, I just hope that I can do everything before I’m old and wrinkly!
