ABOUT THE CHARACTER
Name:Adrianna Parker
Original
Age:17
Gender:Female
Year:Seventh
Celebrity:Angelina Jolie
Facial Properties:
Adrianna has the kind of natural beauty that others always notice, just like her mother. She has a oval shaped face and dark brown hair, down to her shoulders with bangs that she would surely regret getting in a month or two. She almost always wears her hair straight, even when she has to fight with the humidity. Her eyes are almond shaped and a dark brown shade that are capable of give looks that can kill. They become dangerously close to a red shade when she is angry. Though when she is happy, they sparkle as much as a star in the night sky.
Adrianna has a slightly tanned and clear complexion which she got from her mother and a smile from her father that lights up a room. She has slightly full lips and strong cheekbones. She has a small forehead and a large nose that she's self conscious of. She has a normal shaped chin with a slightly noticeable scar on the edge which she received from one of her clumsy accidents. She is never seen without wearing eyeliner. The only piercings she has are on her ears, but she hardly ever bother with earrings, or any jewelery for that matter.
Physique:
Adrianna stands at a solid 5'6" with a slim, slightly athletic body. She doesn't exercise much, considering any time she tries to be athletic she hurts herself, or someone else with her clumsiness. Because of this, she has never taken for granted her fast metabolism. Even though she isn't that tall, she appears to have long legs and wears a size seven in shoes. She prefers comfortable shoes and has only been seen wearing high heals three times in her entire life. Her curves are small, but defined and average for a girl her size.
She has a small purple star tattooed on the right side of her neck behind her ear, which she received on her fifteenth birthday. Adrianna's clothing she typically wears is more along the vintage and retro style, so she often looks a little different than others. She never minded standing out a little bit and actually quite enjoys it at most times. She blushes at almost anything and finds this fact extremely embarrassing. She even blushed at her own thoughts from time to time.
Personality:
Adrianna Parker is unintentionally a manipulative person. She tries not to be but it is in her nature. She despises dishonest people and if you lie to her she won't ever forget it. She makes her own judgment of people, no matter what anyone says, simply because she would want others to be that way with her. She is always figuring out feelings or things people are trying to hide, while completely missing all the obvious stuff. She tries to accept the way people are, even when they are very rude, although she isn't a very patience person so being rude might not be such a great idea.
She strives to know things that most others don't, mainly so she won't be the one feeling stupid when something different is brought up in a conversation. Mostly because she makes herself look stupid enough already since she is the most clumsiest person alive and has lost count on how much stuff shes ran into over the years. She always acts like it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of her, but of course like any normal person, she does care. Sometimes she gets overly paranoid at stupid things, but usually she realizes how stupid shes acting and gets over it.
When Adrianna is caught at her best, she laughs at almost anything, makes stupid jokes that most don't understand, sings along to any tune in her head, and enjoys talking about food. In an uncomfortable situation she tends to talk a little to much, a little to fast and is able to come up with an insane story off the top of her head. Those who know her well can easily see how she feels from the way she acts. She had never been good at pretending to be alright when things weren't.
Adrianna sometimes has a problem with being a little to nosy and curious for her own good. She often finds herself asking personal questions to those she barley knows and when someone acts as if they are hiding something, it just makes her questions worse. She never really realizes it most of the time, and feels that if someone doesn't want to answer, then they simply shouldn't, instead of getting all offended. She believes this to be why alot of people avoid talking to her.
Though she realizes the need for rules in the world, she has never been one to follow them. She can be surprisingly sneaky when she isn't tripping over her own feet. Of course this usually takes alot of concentration. She is quick to stand up for her friends without a second thought. She doesn't react very well to stress, but still has the ability to think straight as long as she keeps herself calm. Although if there is blood involved then all that is simply out the window.

History:
She is the daughter of Sarah Tooley who is a muggle living in the outskirts of England. She left her father, David Parker, after discovering he was a Wizard. Adrianna was only six years old at the time but remembers everything about that day. She always believed that her parents splitting up had been her fault. She has an older sister who lives with their mother, who always claimed she was happy at least one of her daughters was 'normal.'
Adrianna had never been that close with her sister, they had a few moments were they would have fun together, until something about magic came up. Every visit to her mother's had became more and more uncomfortable and the last summer she had planned on not going at all, but of course her dad wouldn't let that happen. One of the only things she enjoyed about her visits was listening to the muggle music and picking up on their style of clothing.
It isn't that her mother hated Adrianna, in fact she could tell that her mother loved her. It seemed as if Sarah simply just couldn't relate to her, and never knew what to say. Sarah never wanted to talk about her dad or magic and never seemed to want to look at Adrianna much, she happened to look much like her father. At first, she tried hard to please her mother and try to act as if magic didn't exist, but as she got older she realized there really was no point and gave up.
When she turned eleven she was very excited about attending Hogwarts. She had heard many stories from her dad, who had been a Ravenclaw in his days. Since attending Hogwarts Adrianna visits her mother a week or two over the summer holidays, and spends the rest of her time traveling across the country with her father, who is an aurora. She has been able to learn many things that most her age shouldn't really know of and enjoys every minute of it.
ABOUT YOU

Sample Post:
Adrianna sat quietly on a stone bench in the gardens. All around her sat piles of parchment weighted down by weights and measures so they would not blow away. Her long brown hair was pulled up into a loose bun. Within the next few days, she knew even more homework would be assigned and she would fall behind if she didn't finish what was already assigned. The essays are what she had problems with, she had never quite got the hang of them.
Adrianna frowned at a sheet of parchment she held in her hands. She had no idea what the professor was talking about.The topic assigned made no sense at all, how was she going to write about this? 'ugh! I hate potions class.' she thought and contemplated giving up for the hundredth time. Scrutinizing the lines of neat scrawling, she came to the conclusion that she could sit here all day and not know what she was intended to write about. She sighed as she wondered how the hell she was going to get this done and still get a decent grade.
At that moment she was surprised as a large barn owl landed with a soft scrape of its talons on the bench she occupied, helping himself to the seeds that were sprouting from a nearby sunflower as she untied an envelope from around its neck. She watched for a moment and realized she didn't recognize the owl. Satisfied with its fill of seeds, the owl flew off. Adrianna watched it disappear into the distance before taking a look at the letter. Now she was completely distracted from her work.
She froze for a moment when she noticed who it was from. "Ana Parker" She read out-loud to herself and tried to think of any possible reason that her sister would be writing her. She stared in shock, this had been the last thing she expected. Adrianna could not ever remember receiving something from her and was almost afraid to read the words written. She took a breath and unfolded the pages with her trembling hands, expecting something horrible that would ruin her day.
