10 Words to describe your character: hyper, creative, twerp, mischievous, flighty, easily-distracted, curious, opinionated, queer, imaginative
EXTENDED APPLICATION -- PLEASE DO AT LEAST A PARAGRAPH ON EACH OF THESE, UNLESS THEY ARE STATED TO BE OPTIONAL
Personality: The thing to remember about Ruth Ann is that she has ADD but it has yet to be treated (she does not, however, have ADHD, despite her hyper personality - that's just the result of a near-constant consumption of sugar). Because of this she's easily distracted when talking or when in class, often by things of a shiny nature. Overall, Ruth Ann comes across as having a very intense and almost overwhelming personality. If allowed, she'll commandeer the conversation and steamroll over everyone else. Though a positive, happy girl most of the time, she has a short temper and is wont to throwing tantrums when upset, often employing unintended violence against whoever has incurred her wrath.
Strengths: Both magical and personality: An artistic little twerp, Ruth Ann is rarely seen about the castle without her sketchbook. She draws in it and other items constantly, something that is not always that well accepted by those who've had their journals/homework/books/french toast drawn on. If nothing else, it must be said that she draws a mean banana slug (though she prefers to draw them smiling). Ruth Ann has something of a flare for mischief, though this is somewhat unintentional on her part, and more an off-shoot of her hyper personality and endless curiosity. She's good at History of Magic and decent at Herbology, as both are subjects that interest her, but pulls average grades in those classes that fail to hold her interest (though she tests well, when left uninterrupted).
Weaknesses: Both magical and personality: Ruth Ann is an average student with a shorter-than-average attention span. She likes her classes, really she does! ...it's just that she's not the greatest at remembering what the class has been working on, and for some reason the professor never appreciates it when she tries to turn her toothpick into a pinto instead of a pin - particularly when it's the horse and not the bean >.> Her short attention span often works against her in class, and while she would be earning higher-than-average marks in all her classes if she could focus properly, she's lucky to get the C+ equivalent average considering how much effort she must expend on just concentrating.
Fears: At twelve, Ruth Ann continues to be afraid of the dark, and refuses to sleep without nightlight. Though she fails to understand it herself, she has an intense fear of vampires, and, strangely enough, being caught without her shoes on. Because of the later, she insists on wearing slip-on shoes so that she can easily put them on if ever thrust into a situation in which she'd want them.
Revised History:
Ruth Ann was born in London why her parents were visiting her father's sister to an American Muggleborn mother and an English half-blood father. She lived in Venice, California, until the age of five, at which point the family moved to England for reasons having to do with her father's occupation as magical stone and jewelry assayer (Europe simply holds more business than the States, having a much older and more established magical community). Though she barely remembers her time in the States, Ruth Ann is of the firm belief that she and England are not meant to be - simply put, time and Ruth Ann's own desires have transformed California into a magical place of much better weather and a much more understanding environment. A large part of the reason behind this fanciful reworking is that she's frustrated with herself at the moment, being unable to preform as well as she feels she should be able to, hindered as she is by her ADD.
When she started at Hogwarts she saw it as a chance to rebel without having to suffer direct consequences. (Yes, she does get punished for acting out, but seeing as how most of her "acting out" is harmless and merely consists of being overly annoying and curious.) She's slowly coming to realize that perhaps this is not the best course of action, and she may (or may not) be mending her ways in the future. Or at least curbing her hyperactivity. Her current life goals consist of acquiring a pet snake and successfully transfiguring a yo-yo into an owl.
Physical Description: At the least, provide base details of build, height, eye/hair colour, and complexion. Average height, pale-pink skin with freckles, blue eyes, and reddish-brown hair. Not particularly pretty, not particularly plain. Very much in the middle, with a average, non-athletic build.
Significant Relationships:
Family: Optional: is close to her mother, though gets on well with both her parents; has her brother (a 6th year Hufflepuff) under her thumb - they get along well and rarely experience sibling rivalry
Friends: Optional:
Other: Optional: is currently employed by Jelly Ashworth as a minion-in-training - she creates chaos and Jelly feeds her; has declared her alter-ego ("la bandida") the sidekick of "Dot Boy" (a.k.a. Colin Mayfield)
Special Considerations: Such as broom ownership, being an animagus, famous in some form, or a metamorphmagus. All are subject to mod approval. Ruth Ann speaks a smattering of Spanish, having picked it up from her brother, who was enrolled in a Spanish immersion program before the move to England.
COMMUNITY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS -- ONLY ANSWER THE SECTION APPLICABLE TO YOUR CHARACTER
Hogwarts:
Year: 2nd
House: Ravenclaw
Why are they in that house? Though a bit flighty, Ruth Ann loves, loves, loves to learn. It isn't so much the acquisition of knowledge that interests her as the actual process of learning new things. When she isn't drawing, she's usually reading, generally a new book every few days.
Postion: (Subject to mod approval)
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE -- PLEASE ENSURE THAT THIS IS IN THIRD PERSON NARRATIVE POINT OF VIEW
Ruth Ann sat on the floor of the common room, a blue yo-yo resting on the carpet in front of her. She had her wand out, and was apparently trying to enchant the Muggle toy. So far her efforts had all been in vain, aside from the fact that she'd set the rug on fire twice. The yo-yo itself was starting to look a bit worse for wear, though not any feathery than it had been at the start of the afternoon.
"Darn it," Ruth Ann grumbled to herself, glaring down at the toy, "my cousin Tim did this when he was twelve - it's bad enough that I'm the youngest cousin, but I'll never be able to survive family get-togethers if I can't manage this."
MOD-ONLY QUESTIONS -- THESE WILL ONLY BE KNOWN TO THE MODS
Character Secrets:
(Slightly) Revised Character Alliance: Since she's only twelve, Ruth Ann hasn't given the whole You-Know-Who thing much thought. She does believe that the weak have a right to defend themselves against the strong, however, as is exemplified by her attempts to arm the firsties. This said, she would most certainly not support Voldemort if it came down to it, as she is very pro-Muggle.
