She had chestnut brown hair that was as straight as a pin,big and round green eyes,fair and flawless skin and a heart shaped face . She grew up in a small house with fourteen siblings so as you probably guessed it was very very crowded . The house she grew up in was a small farm house surrounded by plenty of land . Beside the farm house was the massive dairy their father owned . Most children worked in after they left school . Their mother was a witch and had attended Hogwarts . Only four of the fourteen children had experienced the abilities and attended Hogwarts,including Elizabeth . That was where she met John .John Estwell was a filthy rich boy who lived in London ,England . He had short black hair,small brown eyes,chiseled features and was over all ruggedly handsome . He was an only child and lived in a lap of luxury . His father was a very successful business owner who made millions a year . His mother was just a house wife who used and abused the money he made .His parents spoiled him and he was a rotten,cruel child who wanted everything and anything money could buy . Both his parents were wizards so it was no surprise that he was accepted to go to Hogwarts .
John and Elizabeth were seated on the train together on the way there and instantly became friends . Even though John was sorted into Ravenclaw and Elizabeth was sorted into Gryffindor,they remained joined at the hip . Elizabeth changed John forever . He was polite with her,he wasn't as spoiled,he had changed . They brought out the best in each other but it wasn't until they were in their fourth year that they started having feelings for each other . They started feeling awkward around each other and would blush red whenever their name would come up in simple conversations . With the help of Elizabeth's friend,they started to make sense of the feelings and then started dating . Their relationship lasted right through Hogwarts and on the day that they graduated,John proposed . They got married in England and then moved to London as a newly married couple . One year later,Elizabeth found she was pregnant with twins . They were both so happy and thought that a big city was nowhere to raise a child so John borrowed some land from his father in a small town named Painswick where they built a small house for their children to grow up in .
Amber was born at home,in Painswick with her brother Jasper . Their parents were just so happy that they had two bundles of Joy but then they found out how hard parenting really was . Although it was hard,they got through it and raised two beautiful children . Amber and Jasper were attached at the hip . You couldn't have one without the other . If they were away from each other any longer then one minute,they would go ballistic and cry . When they turned four,they started attending school . After a few years,Jasper earned the title of the class clown,the bad ass,the rebel that girls fawned over . Amber however was not at all popular . Amber's chestnut hair was hard to manage and very frizzy . She started to get a lot of spots and pimples and needed to get braces and big nerd-like glasses . She didn't have one friend in her class apart from Jasper . Other kids tease her about the way she looked,bringing down Amber's confidence massively . Jasper would beat up anyone who teased her and tried to cheer her up but it was not enough . Amber still felt horrible about herself . Elizabeth,being a huge lover of music,signed Amber up for singing lessons . She then surprised everything with her beautiful,angelic voice and she got a confidence boost from many people who heard her sing,complementing her voice . She also started piano lessons but was absolutely horrible . Amber tried to practise harder and eventually was very talented at the piano . She loved music and practiced whenever she could . Although music made her life much better,she was still tormented at school . Amber then started a journal,to share her feelings and secrets . She was then addicted to writing in it and would finish the diary in or around a month . It was a great way to let out her feelings and Amber finished more and more journals until she had boxes full . Then a tragedy happened . Elizabeth and John Estwell died in a car accident . It was a stormy night and was raining and the car slipped on the road and crashed into a ditch . John died instantly from the crash but Elizabeth was brought to the hospital where she later died that night . Amber and Jasper were very upset and depressed after what happened . They were then brought back to Ireland where their Aunt Ally looked after them .
Aunt Ally was very like Jasper . She done what she liked,was a player,was irresponsible and the stereotypical 'Fun Aunt' . Amber was usually the responsible one in the house while Ally and Jasper just messed around . Although Ally was irresponsible,she was one of their mother's siblings that went to Hogwarts . When Jasper and Amber got the letter,she was very understanding about it and new what to get done,where to go and how to do it . The twins didn't know what the letters meant,their parents never even told them they were witches and wizards . Aunt Ally explained to them about their magical powers much to their disbelief . When Amber and Jasper started Hogwarts,things got better . Amber actually made friends who liked her but she was still self-conscious and was very shy . Jasper was the school's Bad boy that all the girls fell for but he was still loyal to his sister . Amber turned out to be very good at magic and was a real brainiac . She then got her braces off,bought contact lenses,and used an anti-acne cream on her face making her,for the first time in her life,look pretty . Amber then got lots of attention from boys . She loved romance but the boys were not being romantic,flirting with her with cheesy pick up lines like 'Your feet must be tired because you've been running through my mind all day' or 'Do you have a map? I just keep on getting lost in your eyes' . She didn't like that kind of attention so she tried to get away from it whenever she could,retreating to the library or the lake . Over all,Amber's had a life with ups and downs but tried to stay positive all the way . Sample Post: (This is from a website called Valucre,it probably won't make sense at first but it's about a group of pirates hiring a crew at a tavern) The sun set over Casper,the daylight slowly dimmed until complete and utter darkness . Stars peeked out over the darkened Navy sky glistening over the town's night life . The average working men left for home to their awaiting families while slums,criminals and attackers lurked in the shadows of alleyways preparing for their next victim . The atmosphere seemed dangerous,almost frightening . All except the joyous Bull 'n Bush Tavern . The music and slurred singing could be heard from all around,blasting from the tavern door . The tavern wasn't particularly big . It seemed quite humble actually . Without the stench of alcohol and noisy men of course . It had a thatched roof and wooded walls,a stone chimney stretched up letting out dark puffs of smoke . A pebble stone pathway led up to the humble tavern door . Inside was completely different . Inside,rowdy drunken men hung around singing vulgar lyrics,chugging down whole bottles of rum,slappers and whores from the brothel next door taking advantage of the business and old perverts and an occasional fight between two idiotic drunks would occur . Deep in the older tavern sat men around a desk like table,engrossed with conversation,jotting down names in a log book . Pirates . And employing ones of that . "NEXT" a quite large man yelled out,raising his voice over the irritating music . At first glance,one would think he was the pirate captain . His long black hair was wrapped up in a bandanna,he wore a typical white ruffled shirt,not even white,it was stained with blood ,sweat and beer . With that,he wore black breeches and muddy leather boots . His face was chiseled and very defined . His green eyes glared annoyingly at the sulking man's back and his lips curled up into a snarl . "Lousy landlubber" he banged his tightened fist against the table . A chuckle came from his companion's lips . A quite big leather hat covered the companion's face,casting a shadow over their features . She took off her hat and lazily threw it onto the table revealing the companions gender and features . She had chestnut brown hair running down her back in loose curls . She had a heart shaped face,and very beautiful face of that with green bright eyes and soft pink lips . She seemed young enough,in her early twenties . Her physic was toned and slender with a smirk that said pretty clearly that she could slice and gut you with a flick of her wrist . She wore a blood red bandanna wrapped around her head,two gangly gold hoops from her ears, a under bust corset that was pulled tightly around her curves,a tattered skirt and a belt loosely around her waist . She seemed to carry herself better than any female commoner . Almost as if she was nobility . "Ha ha,barely knew how ta spell and he wants the position of Quartermaster"she laughed patting the man's shoulder "Oh cheer up Christopher,we'll find some grand buccaneers" she smiled and glanced down the line of men,some drinking rum,some ogling her suggestively . She shuddered . "Dammit Johanna,take my coat" Christopher threw it onto her lap shooting a sharp glare at the perverted slums . Johanna rolled her eyes . "Do relax Chris,I can take 'em on any day" She smiled reassuringly at her brother-like navigator,slipping into the huge leather coat . More like a blanket than a coat . "Well these old idiots are twice your size,I don't care how tough you are" Johanna rolled her eyes,glancing over the loud crowd . She sighed . "I suppose we should get back to work" Johanna said in a helpless tone . She sat back down and gestured for the next man to come forward .

Hello, Joey!
Before we can review your application, there are definitely a few things that need to be checked out. First, Emily Browning is already in use for a character. Please see the Face Claim thread, as well as the Canon Characters thread, to see which celebrities have already been taken.
Second, we need you to format your name correctly, as stated in The Rules:
SIGNING UP- You must sign up as your character's first name (or) your character's first and last name. The exceptions include accounts made before these rules were posted. Immediately after your join, please change your display name to it's proper form.
EXAMPLE1: sally is changed to Sally Stewart. EXAMPLE2: dannytuvuu is changed to Danny Tuvuu.
You can do this by going into your Profile and modifying the Display Name.
Third, as was stated in the rules and on the form itself, we require four decent-sized paragraphs in the "Personality" and "History" sections. ISS’ description of a paragraph is at least six, decent sentences. If it helps you to get an idea of a good length, have a look at previously-accepted applications. Try to flesh out her personality and history more and really get to know your character, and let us get to know her through the application as well.
Finally, I'm going to stress the importance of editing. Spell-check, grammar and punctuation are incredibly important, especially as ISS is a moderate-to-advanced roleplay. Please take the time to edit your app accordingly.
This form will be moved to the "Pending" section. Please do not repost your app, simply edit your original post with the changes. Once all the changes have been made, let the admins know, and we'll be happy to look it over again.
