ABOUT THE CHARACTER Name: Harper Stosh Age: 17 Gender: Female Year: 7 Celebrity: Liz Vicious
Canon or Original? Original
Facial Properties: ¢¾۰Harper naturally has black hair, but as it makes her pale skin look freakishly white she regularly applies charms to it that make her hair a nice burgundy color which slightly makes her freckles show and really makes her green-blue eyes pop. She¡¯s a light/social smoker smokes which makes her teeth just ever so slightly yellow. Her lips are usually done with a nice dark red lipstick, but she actually has noticeably red lips naturally. Physique: ¢¾۰Harper is slightly shorter than average height and kind of thin, though not in an unhealthy way, with no noticeable muscle. Her bust size definitely fits into the small category but her hips do have a nice hint of curve, just enough to make a guy eye them. Her legs are rather nice, as she does like to go on walks a lot, but still no real muscle to be spoken of.
Personality: ¢¾۰ Harper can be a called an interesting character¡¦ She tends to speak like she knows something she shouldn¡¯t, even if she doesn¡¯t and that¡¯s usually the case, and is known to have sudden and majorly bad mood swings. She tries to keep to herself and be independent but when she lets someone in she really starts to depend on that person to keep her level and it really hurts her when that person betrays her or leaves. Harper has a bit of a problem dealing with lose so when someone dies or moves or something like that she tends to start blocking stuff about that prson so she doesn¡¯t have to deal with the pain she¡¯s feeling.
A bad thing about the way Harper is the way she tends to bottle or block things so she doesn¡¯t have to deal with them and because she hates to feel like she¡¯s bothering her friends with her problems. Instead Harper will go on and completely ignore that there¡¯s any type of problem until it either blows up in her faces or is too much for her to handle. Since she bottles things Harper has a lot of break downs, sometimes at very inconvenient times or public places.
Another flaw to Harper¡¯s personality is that she¡¯s kind of a lazy, self-serving bitch and has no plans of changing this fact anytime soon. She has a tendency to only do things that will give her some kind of reward in the end and even if they do she still sometimes needs some prodding to get off her ass and do it. She¡¯ll hold grudges even once she forgets why she¡¯s mad at the person and can enact her revenge at anytime, or several times if she feels like it, and can be a total hypocrite at times.
The lighter parts to Harper¡¯s personality, and the bits I¡¯ll be ending on, are that Harper¡¯s a geek as well as a bit of a bookworm; she reads a lot of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. She reads a lot of romance as well, when she isn¡¯t studying, and is really into the idea of some guy becoming her Prince Charming, though she¡¯s not totally caught up on it¡¦ Harper¡¯s real idea of romance is enjoy herself until she finds just the right guy, and if she¡¯s not good enough she¡¯ll go ahead and become an independent woman and continue enjoying herself.

History: ¢¾۰Harper was born to Rose and David Stosh on July 13, 1959. Rose was a witch, as were her parents and their parents before her, and her family was what is commonly know as blood traitors. She was a bit of a Bohemian and she made her way in life by playing music and painting magic portraits. David was a Muggle and he met Rose as she took a year away from the magical world to find her place in the world. He easily accepted the idea of Rose being a witch and there being an entire world of magic kept secret from all non-magical people, he was a writer after all. Harper was their first child, about a year later Rose gave birth to a boy named Gavin who would also have magical abilities, and the two were absolutely thrilled.
Harper and her little brother were raised in an apartment that was inhabited by several other magical people with Bohemian or Hippie like mind sets and she was taught to be independent and against those who thought Muggles or Muggleborns were inferior. Though there were many families in the apartment complex that home schooled their children Harper and Gavin were always told they would go to Hogwarts when they were of age, as was a tradition in Rose¡¯s family.
When she was ten Harper discovered a Hedgehog to be trapped outside in a garbage can, her parents allowed her to keep it and she named it Boozle. Boozle would later be snuck into Hogwarts by Harper when she started going, though Harper did end up getting caught in her third year and had to make a deal with Headmaster Dumbledore about keeping Boozle with her. The deal consisted of Harper helping the Groundskeeper care for all the animals on the school grounds, a job which Harper doesn¡¯t exactly enjoy¡¦
Harper settled easily into Hogwarts, making friends and enemies quite easily. She formed crushes and felt heartbreak; she both betrayed and was betrayed. It was a pretty average school life actually, for a magic school that is. In her fifth year Harper was a beater for her house Quidditch team, but decided while she liked the chance to take out her anger she didn¡¯t really like the competitiveness and stopped playing Quidditch. Harper has matured just a little bit since her first year, though she still brings Boozle, and she ready to face her last year head on and make it a memorable one.
ABOUT YOU Name: Aves Years of Experience: 4-ish Sample Post:
¢¾۰ Harper couldn¡¯t help but grin as she eyed the young man in front of her. He was tall with dark hair and a body that was good enough to eat¡¦ The thought of which brought a dark chuckle from Harper as she ran her tongue over her vampiric fangs, because eating was exactly what she was going to do¡¦ Harper silently stepped forward and her lips parted in a soft smile as she gently laid her hand on one side of his neck. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Darling¡¦ It¡¯ll only hurt for a moment¡¦¡± she purred as she angled her head and readied to sink her fangs into his throbbing jugular vein. BRIIIING!!! Harper sat up with a groan as she knocked the ringing alarm clock across the room and away from her. With a sigh she gently slid her tongue over her canines. Nope, still just slightly sharper than average as always¡¦ Harper tiredly kicked off her dark blue, celestial themed bedding and rolled over to the edge of her bed with a drawn out yawn. She hated having to get up anytime before noon during summer holidays, but the family was traveling out to her grandparents¡¯ place in Cheshire so she really had no choice. Harper carefully stood and tiredly stumbled her way over towards her closet in hopes of finding something that could be deemed Grandparent appropriate. There was much yawning to be heard as she tiredly dug through her closet until she found a nice black tank top she could wear under an open white dress shirt and some jeans that didn¡¯t have holes in them or paint splatters all over them. Now if only she could muster the energy to put the clothes on¡¦. Other: Mimbulus Mimbletonia

Yay Aves! New account. ^^ However…
It would be nice to add some length to your paragraphs – they’re a little on the short side (history needs four paragraphs specifically). And, there seems to be some sort of formatting error… I’m not sure if it’s just my computer, but there are odd symbols where I think apostrophes are supposed to be and such. I would be glad to review it again when the necessary requirements are met. :]

I’m going have to insist you strengthen your personality paragraphs . It’s better to have four decent paragraphs then five weak ones. As for the format, I’m just going to have to excuse that then. My computer must be freaking out or something.
