About You

What should we call you? Your highness would be sufficient.

What is your gender? (ignore this and we’ll assume you’re female)-checks- No manly parts, so that must mean. –Feels chest- Yup.

How can we get in touch with you?Here, email, msn.

How did you know we were here?I think Neo a few months back. Since then, I’ve been hooked.

Did you read all of the rules? Not since the first time.

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?Uno. The lovely, if superficial, Florence Morgan Lyons.

Anything else you want to tell us before we begin? I really want a male character, but she spoke to me.

The tiny voice inside my head telling me what to do.




Strengths:

Writing. I am an excellent writer, have been since I received my very first quill. I was two and it had a plume bigger than I was. I don’t know if my mother knew then what she had gotten herself into.

I’m quite handy at finding out the truth. I never believe one persons account. I talk to many eye witnesses, because anything else would be sheer guess work and then work out the most logical conclusion.
I have a small voice inside my head that, although sometimes infuriating, points me in the write direction. It’s dead useful, although he is a bit arrogant.

Weaknesses:

I suppose I’m a bit… unusual. I don’t have many friends, as I tend to annoy even my own house.

I question everything, and thus cannot trust without exemplary proof.

The same small voice that seems to have a knack for nudging me in the write direction also has a flair for being annoyingly pushy. Should I decide to go on my own gut, he will not let it slide. He’s terribly sarcastic and is always interrupting my thoughts so I often space out for moments at a time, which only adds to the “nutter” rumors.

Goals:
To be published in the Daily Prophet by age fifteen.
To report the news of Hogwarts within these walls.
To make as many connections and sources here as I can before leaving.

Fears:
That I will mess up the most important story of my career, therein ending it.
That I will be commissioned to write pathetic gossip columns for the rest of my days.


Tics, Quirks & Habits:
I tend to speak regularly with the aforementioned voice inside my head, which often leads to me staring blankly for a couple moments before I snap out of it.

I bite my nails.

I read the Prophet every morning.

Before going to bed, I read a random poem from the many books I’ve collected over the years. Keeps the mind fresh and I like to think, thinking imaginatively.

Pet Peeves:
Illiterate fools.

When the voice in my head interrupts an interview, and when I finally come-to they’ve disappeared.

Animals in general.

Favorite sounds and smells:

A fresh piece of parchment.

The unfurling of the mornings newspaper.


Have you ever met a boggart? What does it look like?

Unfortunately yes. Last year in DADA.It looked like a big gigantic furry moth. Erlack!

Can you cast Patronus? What does it look like? What memory do you use?

I can't cast a Patronus, I don't spend my time practicing exceedingly difficult magic which I will never have to use.

What is the worst memory Dementors bring forward?

When I was eight my grandfather passed away. He was reading me a bed time story and moth fluttered in the window, I was scared, naturally, so he tried to shoo it out the open window and fell out himself. I will never forgive myself. This is about the time the tiny voice began. I've been going slighlty crazed ever since.

If you were to find the Mirror of Erised, what would you see?

Me, Prefect and Head Girl, clutching my prize winning thesis, shaking hands with Dumbledore.

Tell me a couple secrets about yourself:

I blame myself for my grandfathers unfortunate passing.

I can't do magic very well.

I have a tiny voice inside my head that talks to me all day long. He is very cheeky and sometimes makes me blush.

Personality:

I have a thirst for the truth that can not be quenched. I thrive on challenges set before me, especially if I believe it to be something the public should know about. I’m intensely interested in journalism, and I believe that it is a great strength of mine, to report what there is to know.

I'm not shy and will undoubtedly find you if something needs to be reported and blatantly ask you about it, no beating around the bush with me.

I don't really care about my blood status. I know i'm pure blood, so I have nothing to worry about anyway, but I don't think it makes me any better than you. I feel slightly ashamed, however, to think that it will indeed enable me to get a job easier and more smoothly than those without both parents being wizards.


Looks

Distinguishing Features:

Not-so-distinguishing features:

I have a very odd way of walking, or rather scurrying down the halls. Very small steps taken at a very fast pace, and a slightly curved back.

Appearance:

Place of Birth:

Immediate family: Parents, siblings, spouses, children
Extended family: Aunts, uncles, grandparents, grandkids, nieces, nephews, cousins
Other important people:
Pets:
History:
Misc
