    +Ballroom Dancing - Ever since she was 11, she has been taking professional dancing lessons. Just the way your allowed to move when your doing the Tango, Cha Cha, The Fox Trot. They are all wonderful dances.
    +Traveling - After the school year is over her mother and father usually like to get out of Australia and go see the world. She has been to France, Spain, Germany, and Japan, but never has she been to the United States.
    +Fencing - One of her favorite things to do with her free time. Her mother is a professional fencer so she usually during the summer is always fencing with her.
    +Ice Cream - One of her favorite sit down and eat things. On a boring day she likes to sit back and eat a pint or just a couple of scoops.
    Dislikes:
    -Pushy People - Those people that just get in the way all the time. The people that usually like to get what they want without any care what anyone else thinks.
    -Talkative People - She can’t stand it when people talk way to much. They go on and on about themselves and juts don’t care what anyone else does or how they feel.
    -Meat - She's a vegetarian….self explanatory
    -The Colors (Grey and Orange) She thinks that they are the ugliest colors and if anyone wears them…eww…just eww take them off.
    -Vampire - Well its not that she hate them just they scare her because they will do anything to get blood. Like kill.
    Personality: This is one girl you will meet that is not very hard to get along with. Just remember that her space is her space and she doesn't really like a lot of people in it. Its fine to have some people around every once in a while but just to have that one person that hangs on a person 24/7. She's one usually to enjoy company (like a small get together). Her hobbies are most expressed up in the "Likes" section so scroll up and take a look.

    Briseis is easy to make friends with and she loves getting new friends. Sometimes though her old friends would use her for her money and that wasn't what friendship was all about.

    Her personality is a bit jumpy at times and she knows when to have fun. But when she is sad and depressed she likes to sit down with a pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream and watch a movie with a close friend guy or girl doesn't matter but guy is encouraged.
The Look
    Hair Colour: Blonde
    Eye Colour: Blue
    Appearance: Briseis stands about 5'9 and weights only 115lbs which isn't a lot. Her hair at times is usually down and straight but there are times when she curls it up and messes with it just to try new things. Her ears are pointed since she is an elf, though she tries to keep it hidden because she has been made fun of in the past for them. On her wrist she has a scar from the bottom of her palm and all the way up to her elbow because when she was little she was learning how to ride a bike with her dad and fell and cut her arm on a spike in the rode. Her eye color is a light blue.

Family History
    General Knowledge: Both of her parents live in Australia while she attends Tallygarunga Academy. Her parents met a long time ago and decided to finally have a child. So thats how she came into the world. Her family relies more on nature than the electronics and things that are out in this modern world. Since they live next to muggles, they try and keep down that she goes to Tallygarunga and that they are elves. Some people where they live aren't so nice when they find out about their race.
    History:
    As a child it was hard for her to grow up because she didn’t realize what powers she had until she turned the age 10. Once she found out that she had the ability to cast these spells she started to research in this even more and that’s when she received her letter to Tallygarunga Academy. Her mother had attended the Academy in her younger ages but wouldn’t tell Briseis anything about it. She had to figure it out herself. When she got her letter she was amazed by how fast she got it and how the school even knew who she was. And on the other side it scared her, she had never been to a magical school.

    Through all the years that she went to Tallygarunga, she had made so many friends but they were all in the older classes. So every year she would lose those friends that she had made. She had a couple of friends in the 7th year of students but half of them are to busy with school to even chill with her. One thing that sets her off from a lot of people is that she is an elf. Her ears are a big flaw that she doesn’t like and she tries to keep them covered because people like to make fun of her. Everyday she learns something new in her classes.

    During the time when she isn’t at Tallygarunga her and her family usually spend a lot of their time together. They like to travel and just see new places in the world. Though they do spend a lot of time at home since she is an only child.

Wand: 15inches/Essence of Phoenix Ash/Purpleheart
(This wand is crafted from beautiful Purpleheart and has a light-reflective Swarovski Crystal tip. Another faceted crystal is set into the wood at the top of the wand...creating a realm of perfect balance for the user.
Purpleheart signifies royalty and works well for exposing compassion and generosity. The purple itself has been said to emit ultraviolet frequencies of magic.)


All we need is the length of the wand, the core, and the wood type. Please remove all that extra information.

Species: Elven
Blood Status: Halfblood

He is in the military which makes him a Muggle. Her mother is the Witch in the family.


She can't be elven if she is a half blood. Please make her a human if you intend to keep her a half blood. If not, then please redo her entire history and blood status to reflect her as Elven.

+Ballroom Dancing - Ever since she was 11, she has been taking professional dancing lessons. Just the way your allowed to move when your doing the Tango, Cha Cha, The Fox Trot. They are all wonderful dances.
+Singing - When she’s alone by herself she loves to just break into song. Though when she is in front of people and asked to sing she freezes up and its really hard to concentrate.
+Music - Along with dancing and Singing she can also play a variety of instruments that she learned as a younger child and never forgot how to play them. (Clarinet, Flute, Piano)
+Fencing - One of her favorite things to do with her free time. Her mother is a professional fencer so she usually during the summer is always fencing with her.


Wow, she seems really good at a lot of stuff... A little too perfect. It's highly unlikely she'd be really good at all of that stuff at sixteen. Think about it, ballroom dancing, plus a good singer, proficient at three different musical instruments, plus she knows how to fence? Please limit what she's really good at.

Example being, maybe she knows how to fence and can ballroom dance? Or maybe she can play piano and sing?

-Vampire - Well its not that I hate them just they scare me because they will do anything to get blood. Like kill…so yeah.


Nothing really wrong here. Only thing is that you wrote that particular section in the 1st person, and we do applications in the 3rd person. So please edit.

Guys find her very sexy and girls envy her. Some would say that she is a descendent of Helen of Troy, she says otherwise but let them say what they will.


Again, this makes her seem a little too perfect. Please remove this from your app.

Appearance: Briseis is always one of those clean and well groomed people that some are usually jealous about. Her daily routine in the morning is getting up, takes a shower (cleaning from head to toe), always puts some sort of lotion (softness comes first), brushes her teeth, then picks out her daily clothes. So as you can see she takes a lot of time on the way she looks. Her hair can sometimes be curly or straight depends on the time that she has to straighten it. Most of her makeup she wears is Covergirl or M.A.C. With her eye shadow, during the day she likes to go really light and during the night pretty dark. She isn't much for dark colors on her lips because it doesn’t match her complexion, so its usually a like pink. The clothes she wears are those from Hollister, American Eagle, or Abercrombie and Fitch. Sometimes she likes to be lazy though and just throw on a pair of blue jeans, a band t-shirt and a pair of high heels and she sets for a night out on the town. She an full out high maintenance girl and if people don't accept her that way then that’s their problem and their lost.


Once more, this makes her seem just too perfect. You have to admit, every has their bad days. So what does she look like on a bad day? Or when she's sick? And also remember that she must wear her uniform at school. wink.gif

7) Her history is a little vague, in that we know nothing about her before she goes to Tally. Also, the moment she turns ten is not when she realizes she has magical potential. Symptoms begin when a child is younger than ten, so please edit that in your history, as well as add more to it.


Overall, I think you need to take another look at Creating A Character Mousie Will Love as well as Death To Mary Sue

Please post below when you have made all the changes requested, so that we can take another look at your app. biggrin.gif

Alrighty then.

QUOTE
Her eyes are blue but can sometimes change colors (ex. Green, Brown, and Red) Though they are contacts because she does like to keep her identity in the Muggle world a hidden fact to them.


Her eyes cannot change color, even if she is elven. They are blue. As for the contacts... she doesn't need them if her eyes are blue. Nor would I think a normal person put on a pair of red contact lenses. please either clarify what you mean to say with those two sentences, or remove the idea completely.

2) You still haven't changed anything about her history from before. There is still nothing about her younger days before she went to Tally. And again, you usually realize you have magical potential before you turn 10.

Plus there still isn't anything in her history explaining her elven background. Please make appropriate additions to her history.



Post again when you finish editing and I can look at your app again. biggrin.gif
