[/i]No, what if everyone else is better than me and I don’t get in[/i] then just goes to watch tryouts. She tends to space out a lot too and just think about other things going on around her instead of the task at hand, she gets in trouble a lot in class over thins, she just doesn’t pay attention and when the teacher asks something all she says is ”Errm, restate the question please” and then the teacher gets upset at her and they take away house points. Her opinion on muggles is that she really doesn’t care what they do, she’s rather indifferent, even though she’s had some sticky experiences with them for example her teacher and the writing.

About the Character- -
Name: Danae Marie Cohen
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Year: Fifth
Face Claim: Amy Lee
Canon or Original? Original
Facial Properties:
Danae Has a strong jaw line, that ends sharply at her chin that slightly squares off. Her lips are full and a light almost frosted pink that tends to contrast with her rather pale skin. Her nose is normal, it has not bee broken so the bridge isn’t crooked the slightest bit, but her nose does angle down slightly. Her eyes tend to have lighter dark circles around her eyes, which she’s always had from her pale skin. Her eyes a are thinner almond shape and proportionate to her face and brow line, the iris of her eye is colored a very light grey with blue tint so it doesn’t almost look white and you can obviously see that there is some green mixed in too. Her brow line is rather low over her thin eyes and ends sharply where her eye ends and doesn’t curve naturally like most people’s. She has a smaller forehead but no one really notices that.
Physique:
Danae isn’t the tallest or the skinniest girl ever. Beginning with her height, Danae stands about five foot five, a normal height for her family and probably wont get any taller than five foot six or seven. This is because her legs are shorter than usual, but that’s from her father’s side of the family not her mother’s who are all tall and tan. Obviously she takes after her father, she has long, cold black hair that hangs around her waist line or at the end of her shoulder blades it’s hard to tell when she’s slouching like she usually is, but when she remembers to stand up straight you can see how long it is. She has wide shoulders and short arms, or normal length for her. Her torso is slim but she still has curves which the emphasizes but usually wearing a corset. As I said her legs are short and her feet are small, she only wears a size six shoe. Danae weighs about 110 pounds, a pretty normal or healty weight for someone her size(according to her dad) so she wears corsets to make herself appear skinnyer.
Personality:
Danae is indeed, Different. She isn’t the loudest, the smartest, the prettiest, or the richest in the wizarding and muggle world. For starters Danae is very quiet and usually doesn’t speak unless talked to, then she talks. She has a very quiet voice and tends to mumble a lot but when someone reminds her she gets slightly self-conscious and begins to use her jaw hinge and you can actually hear her. People tell her she has a beautiful singing voice but she rarely believes them, but she does randomly burst into song on a good day that she feels like talking to people unlike other days where she’d just sit and listen to the commotion and drama around her. Because she is so quiet no one really knows what she thinks or what goes on in that noggin of hers, but if you could she is very cunning and can think of something to say within a snap of your fingers and sometimes it could be mean and sometimes it can be nice it depends upon the topic of the conversation she is hearing. She can also seem like the kind of person that when they would start talking you would think that they where insane, she just has the look and she’s quiet enough, she has been to a psyche ward, but that’s because one of her teachers thought she has a mental problem over something she wrote.
Danae Enjoys writing, she writes just about anything and everything she possibly could, from poetry to non fictional segments about passed wars. Her particular favorite thing to write would be anything with night walking mythological(real in the wizarding world) creatures like vampires and werewolves, that’s why one of her teachers thought she had a mental problem, because she wrote a story that was very dark and the main character was a vampire. Other than that she really loves Quidditch as well, even though she doesn’t play she doubts her sleft like I’ll try out this year then says
Not being the richest person in the world has definitely left a mark on her, she never takes things for granted, and respects anyone from any stage of wealth and has nothing against the rich people that take offence from her not having a manor in some rural area, although she did live in a rural area, not a manor. She takes the smaller things in life instead of trying to cover up her issues with some big fancy car or a shiny new T.V. or the newest designer clothes, there is a reason why she doesn’t have much money, but I’ll tell you about that in her history. She doesn’t do drugs, she doesn’t drink, but she does smoke. No one in her life has supported this habit but it keeps her mind away from it’s breaking point stressing about her father while she is away at school. She loves to listen to music, any music at all really, but mostly symphonic metal. She doesn’t even know why she likes that music style maybe just the softness of the strings and the harsh metal tones mixed together. Overall Danae is a very gothic styled person.
I say she’s gothic styled, because she dresses and acts like a goth but she truly isn’t. She loves the old Victorian style clothing that she finds in the back racks of muggle thrift stores, and for the acting part, that’s just her. She finds gothic Victorian era things inspiring and beautifully detailed. She’s not the kind of goth that wears giant chains on her jeans or giant black combat boots, but she does wear decorative corsets and skirts and black jeans, but usually with a pair of old and falling apart converse. She likes to spend a lot of time in the courtyard, in a tree reading of just spacing out on her little space ship ride through her mind, usually cigarette in hand. She loves the grounds of the school, and thinks Hogwarts in a magnificent place to be and that it is an amazing opportunity for her to be accepted to such a distinguished school, but she really isn’t one of the smartest people in the world and admits it, but she knows she’s not stupid. She’s not the hardest of workers too but relishes when she accomplishes something and likes to succeed over everyone, but she knows one day she will rise and probably meet her end at some point, but it’s not like she cares.

History:
Danae was born on January the twelfth fifteen years ago on a snowy morning in Liverpool, England. Before her birth her parents had met a long time ago, when her mother Anna was nineteen, her father Lucien was twenty. They immediately hit it off on the right foot getting married a year later, then having unexpectedly having her two brothers Chase and Kael, twins, fourteen months after their marriage. Her parents waited until her brothers where old enough to deal with another child(around four) then had her, whom they where hoping for a boy. When Danae was a year old her parents hit a major rough spot, Anna had been caught cheating on Lucien. In an angry rage he packed all of his belongings and moved out, staying at run down motel to run down motel. Anna didn’t know what to do so she filed a divorce against Lucien, not knowing she would loose half of her ownage and her only daughter to Lucien.
After the divorce had ended and Anna lost, Lucien took custody of Danae and re-named her from her original name which was Aphrodite, he thought the name was foolish and she also kept his last name, unlike her brothers who gained her mother’s last name. Danae lived with her father in London on an old rental flat that happened to be falling apart, and so was her young life, along with her father’s life as well. Danae felt sorry for her father and help but what was a young child of seven supposed to do in a financial crisis. Danae panicked about her father constantly. When she began going to school in London, she figured out she could use magic. She would entertain other children, making objects move without touching them, like making her friend’s dolls dance without controlling them.
When she turned eleven, she received her letter of acceptance, her father being a wizard that knew Hogwarts well he was very proud of her to make it into the school. She rejoiced, showing the letter to her friends in an excited flurry. Of course all of her friends thought it was faked, there was no such school that they’d ever herd of called such a strange name, she got frustrated at them and mentally punched one in the stomach, or what she thought was a mental punch was actually her using a stunning spell which knocked her friend across the room. She got in loads of trouble for that and she just left the school and never went back. She thought that Hogwarts was her opportunity for a clean slate, new friends, friends that actually believed she could use magic. Her father took her too this alley full of shops where he took her to a bank called Gringotts, to her surprise there was a lot of money in the vault and asked her father why they didn’t just use this money to fix their home, but he just shook his head. The first place she was taken was Olivander’s, she recived a 15 inch yew, female unicorn tail hair.
Her first year at Hogwarts was interesting, she never really knew where she was going and got lost frequently, usually finding secret passages to other parts of the castle, but once she got into her schedule she knew where all of her classrooms where and didn’t dare wander off the beaten path again, risking being late or even missing class ‘casue she took the wrong hallway and couldn’t find her way back with her amazingly bad sense of direction. Second year she was more literate in the elaborate hallways of the school. It was also during her second year that her father was evicted from his flat and was forced to move into the wizarding community, he couldn’t afford a home in godric’s hollow where he wanted to live, without taking money out of his savings account, but he didn’t dare touch what his parents had left Danae in their bank account.
Sample Post:
A fur-ball of a puppy slept deeply as her siblings started to stir at their mothers absence. Her nose was tucked comfortable next to her plump, puppy belly to keep her body at a warm and cozy temperature. Her blue merle colored coat was far different then most of her siblings but this didn't concern her at this age, they were all brothers and sisters to her. Siblings to keep her cozy when it was cold and to tumble around with when she wanted to play. She gave an exhaling puppy whimper as she continued to dream, unaware that she was practically alone now.
It seemed like nothing could disturb this puppy and wake her, but the break of silence that came in the form of her sister Brynn's high-pitched puppy bark made her jump out of sleep. Literally. Elaine was wide-eyed and on her feet in a matter of seconds, still in a state between sleep and reality. Elaine was only around two weeks old, which could still be considered as a new born. She was still getting use to the whole walking thing. Her legs still proved to be wobbly under her weight and when excited, her wagging tail even made it an even more difficult of a task.
Her bi-eyes blinked for a few seconds, her vision still adjusting to the sudden bright light of the world outside of sleep. She gave a yawn and stretched, sticking her backside up in the air as her little tail wagged back and forth. Her sister Brynn had awoken her, at least that's what she thought, but where was Brynn? Come to think of it... where was everyone? This discovery made her body quiver. She wasn't use to being alone, at least not without her siblings.
Elaine moved a paw forward, testing her balance. After a few more steps she concluded her paws were working pretty well after her refreshing nap. Now that she was walking she had one objective on her mind, to find her mom and siblings. The little blue merle colored fuzz-ball walked slowly but steadily in the direction of her sister's bark. At least that was the direction she thought it came from, she could only hope she was right.
After being persistent in her mission she finally caught sight of her mom and a few of her siblings. Bailey, Brynn, and Azel were also with her. Her pace quickened, but the sudden jump in speed made her fall sideways. She rolled back onto her tummy and scrambled back onto her paws, the slippery floor was hard to get close to any traction. But as she regained her balance her tail started to wag at the sight of her siblings and momma. Her mom was saying something, but she couldn't quite make it out yet. She continued to come closer, even though they seemed to be moving in the opposite direction.
She finally caught up with Brynn and Azel after increasing her speed to as fast as she could wobble. She wanted to leap on one of her sisters or greet her mother. Her tail was wagging like crazy the entire time as her bi-eyes surveyed the whole scene. She had never explored this far into her home, how big was it anyways? She was a highly curious pup, and her curiosity only heightened as she looked past her mom.
Somebody or something was behind her mother, she couldn't quite make out what it was. She cocked her head to the side and side-stepped with a wobble. It was another dog behind her mom, someone she didn't know. She continued survey the dog carefully, who was this dog and why was momma trying to talk to him? Come to think of it he looked a lot like herself, he had the same colored fur as her. How strange...
