About Lucy!
BASE CHARACTER PROFILE -- PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE SHOULD ONLY BE ONE WORD ANSWERS (Except for the last one... and use your common sense for others too.)
Name: Lucy Ann Sharpe
LJ: ”lucy_sharpe”
Played By: Amanda Seyfried
Birthdate: July 1st, 1988
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Wand:
Dogwood and Veela hair
Dogwood symbolizes charm and finesse, and increases one’s social abilities and personality. This in combination with a core of Veela hair makes a wand that is very useful for all kinds of charms related to persuasion, seduction and illusion. The wizard or witch chosen by this wand is usually an actor or somebody with a gift for the visual arts. He or she likes being at the center of attention, usually due to an attractive personality rather than any actual accomplishments. But s/he can also be a very talented performer who brings entertainment and healing through the creation of beauty. On the darker side, this person may also be a skilled, sometimes compulsive, liar who puts on a mask to hide his/her true, and less colourful personality.

Personality:
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy. Lucy definitely has an elitist streak to her-she views herself as being superior to most and (usually) doesn’t hide it. She used to cover up that part of her personality, but now? Now she just doesn’t care. Sure, she’ll associate with ‘dirty’ bloodlines, but that doesn’t change how she really feels about them. Which, really? She’s not positive HOW she feels, so she plays up the elitist wench part as much as she can. Lucy is dedicated and loyal to the very few people she lets in completely.
She has a bit of a Ravenclaw streak to her-bookworm, intelligent, and knows the most random of things.
(TONS more below)
Strengths: Both magical and personality:
Magically, Lucy has a strong knack for the things that require wandwork; they just seem to come naturally to her. She prizes these, particularly Charms, far above the rest of her classes. While she also does well in Potions and Divination, she does not have the same love for them that she has for her three favorite classes. She continues with them, however, because she enjoys being good at something.
While she is genuinely and deeply cares for the few people she actually likes, most of it is a simple façade. She really is a Slytherin. She’s cunning, manipulative, and does not care who she hurts in the process. She loves reading for the sheer pleasure of it, and can quote the most random things off the top of her head. Above everything else, she prizes intellectual pursuits. She also loves to be social and interact with people, making connections, and what not.
As stated, she is loyal and dedicated to those she does care about-to those few, she’s much more at ease then when around anyone else. She tends to let her guard down a bit more and enjoy the time with them. She is a completely different person when it comes to her loved ones. Any hostility, bitterness, or mean thoughts simply vanish.
Weaknesses: Both magical and personality:
Lucy is horrid at History of Magic. Horrid does not begin to cover what a disaster she is. Lucy cannot be bothered to memorize facts and dates, and does not bother to put forth the effort to try. She finds the class to be pointless and dropped it as soon as possible. Along the same lines, she is a terror at Ancient Runes-it bores her to death, so again, no effort was put into it, and she ended up dropping the class. Her Herbology skills are low as well, as she has a tendency to kill more plants than anything else.
Her true personality is that of a cold and distant person. To the few she actually lets in and cares about, she has a tendency to be extremely emotional, clingy, and needy. She is very childlike in that way-she needs the constant approval of others in order to feel secure. She plays it off as if she does not, but deep down, she really does need it, or else she’s uncomfortable and scared. She holds a nasty grudge and is extremely hostile when upset.
Fears:
Lucy’s afraid of failure. Like, really really afraid. Nothing terrifies her more than the idea of NOT making something amazing out of her life. She doesn’t care what, or how. She just wants it to be the best.
History:
Lucy was born to Madeline and William Sharpe, a few years after their daughter Amelia was born. She grew up amongst her Pureblood relatives, always taught to believe that Purebloods were indeed superior. Part of her, of course, didn’t want to believe it-but family word began to overrule and the young girl took the attitude of her relatives. She got along well with her sister and relatives, living the life of a spoiled Pureblood child. Unbeknownst to her, however, there were more problems in her life than she realized.
Lucy was active as a child, getting herself involved with as many things as possible. Whether it be outdoors with her brother, cooking with her mother, or reading a book alone, the girl never complained of boredom or not having anything to do. She could entertain herself for hours on end, quite content. One would think that, with her personality, she would end up being sorted into Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. It was a given, of course, that she would attend Hogwarts. It was just a matter of where she would be sorted.
At the age of ten, she received her Hogwarts letter, and the following school year, accompanied her brother on the train to the school. Upon arrival, she was sorted into , which out of the houses, she was most eager to enter. She was a social girl and made friends fairly quickly. When classes began, she discovered she had a knack for using a wand, and eagerly took to those classes. She also realized she had a great disdain for the ‘facts’ based class of History of Magic and oftentimes found herself dozing or daydreaming in the class, leading to detention after detention.
When it came time to choose her electives, she decided to add Divination and Ancient Runes to her class list, only to find that after beginning the latter, she despised the course. However, she stuck with it and oftentimes found herself begging for help from her roommates.
During these first three years, she was happy and extremely social (mostly to other Purebloods, but she’d associate with the occasional half-blood if she found them worthy) and enjoyed school quite a bit. As the years progressed, she began to show more signs of belonging to the house she was sorted in. She realized she could manipulate others to her own will and enjoyed it. She also began to see what her family meant by being superior-she was prettier, wealthier, and had a better family than those filthy mudbloods, so of course she was better!
Eventually, the outgoing and energetic young girl became the snobby elitist she is today. Of course, those who are close to her knows what lies beneath the surface, but she struggles to keep that hidden.
Physical Description: At the least, provide base details of build, height, eye/hair colour, and complexion.
Lucy is a small girl, standing at about 5’4”, with a rather curvaceous build, with a slim frame. Her hair is doll-like-long, curly, and blonde. She also has striking green eyes that stand out from her pale skin. She has small, dainty hands that she uses quite a bit when talking. She also has a few scars here and there from when she was a child. She was very active when she was younger, leading to a few cuts and bruises here and there.

Hogwarts:
Year:
7th
House:
Slytherin
Why are they in that house?
Oh, geeze. Lucy’s an elitist, manipulative, and ambitious little thing. She finds a way to work as many situations (and people) to work best for HER as opposed to anyone else. She always wants to be the best and will go to any lengths to achieve and get the things that she wants.
