[Danielle Hallow]

Name:Danielle J. Hallows

*Age:15 years

*DD/MM/YY:31st/8th/92

*Gender:Female

*Appearance:Tall, broad-shouldered, long-legged. Slim in build, an okay figure. Sun-dyed strawberry blonde hair with natural gold highlights, straight, tied back in loose ponytail or braid most of the time but when loose grazes shoulders. Very wide dusk-blue eyes with thick eyelashes. Pretty.

*Personality:Although Danielle can be loud, funny and dramatic to friends, she is quiet around strangers or in groups and is painfully shy. She tends to move away from crowds and prefers to company of a long-time friend to a gang of unknown people. Danielle is conflicted between a loner-type personality in which she slips into dark corners to think, and a side of her that never wants to be alone, a more socially-clingy type. Her talents lie in humor, drawing, and acting. Extremely dramatic with her words and hand gestures, as well as acting out things, her friends and family think of her a very good-humored actress. She considers herself loyal, essentionally good-natured and spirited, teasing and joking to friends and sarcastic and withdrawn when upset, cruel-worded and hard-headed when angry. She is quietly stubborn with a strong will but has a fierce temper sparked mainly when you insult her, her family or her friends. She is proud but shy, caught between two personalities, and expresses her other more exuberant personality through drawing her, wishing she could be more like her other self(She nicknames her louder, funnier side "Danny".)

*History:Born in a family with three older brothers, a sick mother and a divorced, missing father, Danielle had to cook and clean the house while her brothers struggled through school to earn jobs to support them. Because she wore shabby clothes as a child, other kids made fun of her, making her timid and withdrawn around new people, an effect that lasts even now. To escape her miserable life of an empty, still house where only her mother coughed and slept feverently in the other room, and a school where the only looks she received were mocking and cruel, she began drawing Danny; A beautiful, strong girl with magic powers, an attitude that made people shut up and listen, and comforting phrases and kind, loving friends. She began to wish more and more desperately to be Danny.
Her family was only a slim fourth blooded Muggle; Dirtied blood of their father born from an arrogant pure blood who married a Muggle desite his parent's wishes, more to infuriate them than out of love. Nevertheless, as she grew older, shyer in her avoidence of others and wiser to know a loss of eye contact meant less chance of being noticed and therefore teased, her magic grew strong as well, to the point she accidently sparked a fire of emerald flames in her classroom when the torture of other kids at school grew too much to bear. The Ministry modified memories, talked sternly to her of her witchling powers. Danielle, however, was thrilled; She was becoming more like the magical, powerful Danny. Despite her terrified thoughts the incident would be punished by not going to magic school, she found a letter from a magical school by owl five years prior. She brought shabby robes, a battered wand of her second-oldest brother, and a kitten from the litter her family cat had with her to the musterious school, eager for a new life and new identity.

Hobbies:Drawing anime or manga, writing poetry or stories, music tastes, reading, cooking.

Likes:Being alone. Being around people she knows and trusts. Making others laugh. Sweet fruits, mild foods and other sweets. Listening to music. Her Muggle friends, Arianna and Leo, as well as her magical friends Melinda, Sabrina and Trey. Dancing. The rain and cold days.

Dislikes:Being around people she doesn't know/doesn't trust/can't stand. When people yell at her. Mean people, people who think they're better than others because of something irrelevant. Spicy or hot foods. Being told what to do by someone she doesn't like, or being told to do something in a snobby or rude way. People who insult her family. People who insult her friends. Very hot days.
