Character Information
Name: Anne Richland
LJ Username: ickleanniekins
House: Gryffindor
Year: 4th
Age: 14
Birthdate: December 23
Zodiac Sign / Description: Capricorn

While not the most common sign for Gryffindors to be born under, the combination of Gryffindor aims with Capricorn traits results in wizards who are exceptionally well balanced. For once, here are Gryffindors who will not go charging off on quests without first making thorough preparations and arranging for backup. They are resourceful, well grounded, and self confident, hard workers, and extremely reliable. You can always trust a Gryffindor Capricorn's word; they will not only mean it when they say they will do something, they will follow through successfully. House Prefects often come from this sign, because they are responsible, good students, and natural leaders. What many people forget about the Capricorn is that although they are part goat, they are also part mermaid. That mermaid half represents all the fanciful dreams and lofty ambitions that the quiet Capricorn often hides beneath an unassuming surface. Perhaps Capricorns are sorted into this House because the House needs balance, but those hidden dreams and whimsies probably have a lot to do with it, too.

Bloodline: Halfblood
Heritage: British

Mother: Morgan Richland, 35, Muggle
Father: Jeremy Richland, 39, Wizard

Personal History: Born in Southern England to a wizard father and Muggle mother and the youngest of three, Anne Richland is probably the most down-to-earth and firmly granted in reality. Unlike either of her siblings, Anne seems to be very responsible and practical -- not saying that neither of them are, of course, but they do tend to have their heads in the clouds more often than not, though she still loves them all the same.

For the first eight years of her life, she was raised as a Muggle with no clue as to her magical heritage. And then, one day, her brother received his letter to go to a magic school! The idea excited the young girl and when Emily got her letter the following year, Anne knew that it would be her turn soon, and sure enough, she soon joined her siblings at Hogwarts.

At school, she was sorted into a house with her brother and, though she missed her sister and wished they could all be together, she was thrilled to be with at least one of her siblings. The sorting hat had considered Hufflepuff, if only for a moment, before deciding that she was better suited as a Lion rather than a Badger.

Classwise, she's perhaps a bit brighter than most Gryffindors, but she's not particularly exceptional at any of her classes, save Potions. It's a class that requires lots of attention and patience, both of which Anne has, and the same goes for her other good class, Herbology.

Personality:

Being the baby of her family, it was only natural that Anne be a bit spoiled and doted upon. She tries not to take this for granted, of course, but she is used to getting her way most of the time. She's used to other people doing things for her and taking care of her, but that's also lead her to wanting to prove that she can do things on her own, and Anne has a strong desire to be taken seriously and outshine her siblings. She loves her siblings to no end, however, and would do anything for them. That year she spent at home while they were both at school? Yeah, that was miserable for her, because Anne hates spending time, or being, alone. She loves talking and the company of other people and, while she loves her parents, it just wasn't the same.

Compared to Jason or Emily, Anne's very firmly rooted in the reality of things. It's not that she takes herself or life completely seriously, because she doesn't, but she tends to lean more towards being responsible and hardworking than she does dreaming. Of course underneath it all are lots of dreams, ideas, and fantasies. It's not something she really gets out to people, but she tends to be very observant and a lot of what she sees and hears ends up being written down on a parchment, in a notebook, or whatever she has near -- she wants to put together a 'storybook' version of her life sometime, but right now, she's focusing on school and keeping up her marks.

Anne loves people, being around them, talking... whatever. She knows that you can learn a lot from the people around you, so she tries to be as friendly as possible, though she is a tad bit on the shy and quiet side, so she can't bring herself to approach other people. She won't turn away anyone if they talk to her, but unless you're a person she's comfortable with, she can't really bring herself to talk to people on her own.

Physical Description: With long, dirty blonde hair, green eyes, and a baby-type face, Anne's more cute than anything else. She's small, maybe five feet tall, if even that, and a very petite build. She's not nearly as girly as Emily, but more pulled together than Jason when it comes to dress. Hers tends to rely more on comfort rather than style, but whatever it is, she's always neat and pulled together.

Preferred Body Model: Claire Danes (Romeo and Juliet era)


Hobbies and talents:
1.) Writing. Anne's a very talented young writer, albeit a little 'untrained', so to speak. She's really only written little short stories here and there, a bit of poetry, but she has a natural flair for the written word.

Weaknesses:
1.) Naive. Anne's all wide-eyed and innocent and tends not to see all of the bad things that are out there and doesn't read people very well. She's quite trusting and doesn't question other people's motives very often.

2.) Insecurities. Like any teen, Anne's not completely satisfied with any aspect of her appearance. She knows she's cute, but she doesn't want to be cute. What guys like 'cute' girls? She'd much rather be pretty. She's also not very sure of her grades either. She always feels like she could do better and more.

3.) Attachment. She's painfully attached to both of her siblings and, really, probably wouldn't make it very far without them.

What would your character smell if they sniffed Amortentia (the love potion)? Fresh parchment and ink. Writing's been a staple in Anne's life for as long as she can remember (even if it was making up nonsense stories) and she really can't see it not being a part of her life.
Do you think your character is capable of successfully employing a Cruiciatus Curse? Why or why not? No, no, and no. She's far too young/good-hearted to manage it.
Describe how your character would react, in the form of a sample RP, if faced with a Dementor.

She'd learned about these things in class, hadn't she? Too bad she couldn't remember anything, since she was currently huddled up, arms wrapped around her little body as tears streamed down her cheeks. Her wand was uselessly laying at her side as she rocked back and forth a little, entirely unsure of what to do. She wasn't all that fantastic at wandwork, so she was feeing alone and helpless and that thing was getting closer and she didn't know what to do.

Anne Richland wasn't entirely used to having to fend for herself, so she was currently hoping, praying, that someone would come along and help her.
