10 Words to describe your character:
Intellectual, analytical, logical, witty, studious, discriminatory, distant, dependent, self-important, reserved
EXTENDED APPLICATION -- PLEASE DO AT LEAST A PARAGRAPH ON EACH OF THESE, UNLESS THEY ARE STATED TO BE OPTIONAL
Personality:
Brenna isn't a striking character, or a memorable individual. She is quiet, yet roguishly cheerful. Speaking to her you get the distinct impression that she doesn't just THINK she's better than you, she knows it. Brenna is a bit of a suck-up in class in that she always obeys the rules and tries to please the teachers by volunteering a lot of answers.
If approached by an intelligent, classy person, Brenna will respond politely. She may even favor them with her wit and wisdom. She admires people with class and those who are able to carry out intelligent conversation.
She's by no means friendly, and won't volunteer information about herself. If questioned about matters she thinks are too personal, she will be evasive or trite in her responses.
Boisterous, loud or crass people annoy her, and she has no trouble making her annoyance known. A character need only act obnoxious in front of her once, and she will likely not be able to tolerate them for life.
Brenna would like to give the impression that she is immovable, cool, arrogant, and beyond reproach.
Strengths: Both magical and personality:
Magically- She's good in DADA and Potions, as well as Muggle Studies. She's generally a rather good student, with natural gifts.
Personally:
Intellectual- She wants to know things, and enjoys thinking, studying, and being introspective.
Analytical- Brenna has the ability to leave emotion out of her decision making.
Logical- Everything she does is very methodical, very purposeful. She isn't given to histrionics.
Witty- She has a playful sense of humor and enjoys high-brow jokes and witticisms.
Studious- Brenna can, and will research anything. She enjoys learning and the pursuit of knowledge.
Weaknesses: Both magical and personality:
Magically- Transfiguration. The theory behind it eludes her, and despite her hard work in the subject, she still failed her OWL.
Personally:
Discriminatory- Brenna discriminates based upon ability, intelligence, and occaisonally social standing.
Distant- Extremely difficult to get to know, Brenna tends to give expected answers to questions. She tells people what they expect to hear and rarely shows her true feelings. It's a shallow facade that is easy to see through.
Dependent- As much as she wants to be self sufficient Brenna is actually very dependent. She has crutches, the biggest being her family, the second being approval of her Professors.
Self-Loathing- Brenna is unapologetically arrogant, at least outwardly. She's trying to convince HERSELF of her superiority so she clings to it.
Reserved- Brenna doesn't outwardly display emotions, and she doesn't act up. She has no desire to draw attention to herself.
Fears:
Brenna fears exposure. She would hate for anyone to see her true self. She keeps her walls tight around her, and clings to the facade of distant coolness that she has created. Her biggest fear is being found out for the self-loathing, dependent, needy girl that she is.
More concretely she fears her father, Death Eaters and Lord Voldemort. She also fears Muggles and Muggleborns who might have a taste for vengeance. In otherwords, Brenna feels she has something to fear from both sides in the war.
History:
The Richards family is an old and powerful one. Her father Thomas (Pierce Brosnan) is a high ranking official with the Ministry of Magic and her mother Annabel (Rene Russo), a stay home society wife, comes from a prestigious family herself. Brenna is your typical spoiled little rich girl and she has pretty much anything and everything money can buy. She has two sisters at Hogwarts, Bri and Annabelle. Her cousin is Dariana Davison.
Brenna has been brought up in rich pureblood society, and due to her natural gifts she really hasn't known much of adversity. This is more of a weakness in her character, though, than a strength, because when her mettle is tested she won't have any prior experiences to fall back on.
Physical Description: At the least, provide base details of build, height, eye/hair colour, and complexion.
Brenna is 5'2", more curvy and thicker than her sisters and mother. She has green eyes and very dark brown hair which curls and waves in all the wrong places. Her skin is white-pale and she has a few freckles on her cheeks and nose. Much to her dismay she's been the victim of an occasional pimple.
Significant Relationships:
Family: If Bri is "good" and Bella is "evil" then Brenna is the grey area. She can see merits in both of her sister's allegiances though deep down she sides with Bri, knowing that discrimination on the basis of blood is unfounded in fact. Still, Brenna is far from an accepting individual... sometimes she wishes that she could be more like Annabelle; casually dismissing lesser people. Brenna is much closer with Bri than Bella. Bri is her only trusted confidant, the only one who would know her secret inner self-hatred. Brenna loves Bri and cares for Bri more than her parents or Bella, and is extremely protective of her.
Special Considerations: Such as broom ownership, being an animagus, famous in some form, or a metamorphmagus. All are subject to mod approval.
Nah.

Position: (Subject to mod approval)
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE -- PLEASE ENSURE THAT THIS IS IN THIRD PERSON NARRATIVE POINT OF VIEW
Raegan and O'Neill the two terrific twats of Gryffindor were attempting, for some unknown and probably ungodly reason to brain one another with a mace procured from a nearby suit of armor. Brenna stopped short at the scene, blocking Bri's way in case her sister should fail to notice the hurling weapon. Normally she wouldn't have troubled herself about goofball Gryffindor antics, however, they were obstructing her path. She sighed heavily, arched her eyebrows, and leaned in closer to her sister and said with a coquettish grin, "Gryffindors, the laws of natural selection at their finest."
With that, she stuck out her wand and stopped the projectile weapon in mid air.
"IF you insist on braining one another, could you please have the courtesy to do so in your own common room? I'm afraid your brain matter, however useless it might be in your heads, will do no more good on the floor. In fact, it would probably create unsafe walking conditions, and really, we can't have that outside our common room." With that, she sniffed haughtily, rolled her eyes, and pushed past the two annoyed Gryffindors. She looked at Bri with a little smile, as they entered the Ravenclaw common room, "Really, I hate to interrupt them. Idiots though they may be, they're rather entertaining. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye, and then well, who's to say it's not still fun to watch?"
