ONE FOR THE MONEY
the basics
Full Name: Erika Wednesday Krum
Age: 13
Parents' Names: Viktor Krum and Ivory Mitchell
House at Hogwarts: Gryffindor
Year at Hogwarts: Third
Gender: Female
History: On a warm early September day, Viktor Krum, and at that time, Ivory Mitchell, were granted with two wonderful children. A set of twins, one Eryk Adam Krum, was born a few minutes before Erika Wednesday Krum. The twins were Ivory’s pride and joy, her very first children (and in her hopes, her last one). On the other side, they were the third and fourth for Viktor, who, until recently, never really stayed 100% committed to anything but his quidditch team.

Ivory, in her own ways, managed to get the man under her thumb without him really realizing it. In no time the two were properly married with one of the swankiest weddings that the area, media and all had seen in a long time. The woman was all in it for the money, and Viktor, who might have know, turned a blind eye to it all. His life was his quidditch, not his wife, not his children- not any of his children.

Growing up, Erika knew quite a bit of her other siblings, or rather, half siblings. Her mother always referred to them as “those children” or “the skanks’ kids”, always seeming to hate them even though she came around after those relationships had occurred. That was, though, when Erika had the chance to see her mother.

There always seemed to be a nanny around somewhere, even when she was with her parents. Her mother was easily irritated, and even in the middle of a meal, she would send her children off with the nanny. Viktor, on the other hand, when he was home or not playing, or not with one of his other visiting children, he spent as much time as he could with Erika and Eryk. Erika, truly resented the time that she lost to the other children, as a matter of fact, she hated that when visiting, Bella got more attention from their father than she did. Erika was truly spoiled in that manner. As much as she hated them, she dealt with it and kept it to herself, or told her brother and made her best attempt to be courteous to them.

Erika considers Eryk to be one of her best friends though. They’re true siblings and had grown up together, seeing each other nearly everyday. Erika was never fond of her mother, who seemed to bask in all things expensive. So many times Erika had been pulled into them, and personally had disdain for it all.

The day that Erika started at Hogwarts was possibly the greatest and, least great day of her life. The greatest- She was away from home, away from the frivolous mother, away from then angst that came with seeing her father and her half-siblings together. But the least great part was that she was closer, in proximity, to her half-siblings, she was away from her father, and then she was put into a separate house than her brother.

She has grown to be a better person, she has become independent, and she has learned to deal with her stupid half-siblings, and any flack that may come her way.

Overall Personality: Tomboy, is the first thing that people think when they think about Erika Krum. Growing up, Erika was, and still is, Daddy’s little girl. When she get’s older, Erika wants to play quidditch professionally, though she wouldn’t mind following her fathers footsteps and starting the game young, as she, even at 14, is ready to be rid of her school career and get onto real life. Maybe that is where another part of her personality comes in, she is very ambitious, sometimes too much for her own good. When she wants something, she doesn’t go through alternate ways to get it, like her parents or friends, she makes a go at it and gets it herself. She is a good friend, she has a loyalty that could rival some of the biggest loyalties in the world, she is always willing to take a risk, and within that, she always attempts to be a courteous as possible. Then again, sometimes her temper gets the best of her. And when she is mad about something, she is a monster, yelling and screaming are just the tip of the iceberg. She does enjoy, however, taking out her anger in quidditch, and many times, when she is mad, you will find her out in the Quidditch stadium just flying laps till she is calm enough to stop.

THE CURTAiN CALL
the audition
What It Is: Story sample (part of my NaNoWriMo entry)
What Genre It Is: Young Adult
Sample: Bianca woke with a start, her whole body shooting up from the scrunched position that she had found herself in, hunched over her desk, having been there for hours. Paper had been stuck to her face from where she had been going through some stories that she had written during her short stint as a Junior in high school. It had been years since then, she had left the school with her GED, rather than making her way through the trials of high school. They were things that she didn’t really want to deal with on top of all the drama in her life.

She was lost as to who she really was. She could easily tell you that she was one of 12 kids, all of them twins, sets of one boy and one girl. She couldn’t tell you their names or what they looked like. She could tell you that she had been born in Russia, spent six months in France then a year in England before she came to the US shortly before her second birthday. She could tell you that as soon as she came to the US, her Uncle Joe had begun to take care of her. She could tell you that she’d had a happy childhood, with friends that were all guys, and that she had gone to school with them for a long time. But then again, that was all that she had been told. Those were all things that she reiterated, because they were all memories that had been put into her mind by her uncle, and her friends.

Amnesia is a disease in which because of a traumatic event, or a horrible injury, people don’t remember what had happened. In many people it affects just a small period of time, but in special cases, such as Bianca’s, they can’t remember anything before the event, leaving a complete void in her life.

Bianca however had a creative mind, and had created her own past for herself. She had found that people shied away from her when she admitted that she couldn’t remember anything before the end of her sophomore year of high school. So in turn she created one for herself that she wished that she had.

Bianca got up from the chair that she had been in for the good part of nine hours, stretching, her tee shirt pulling slightly up, her stomach showing for that brief moment. The house had been quiet, which wasn’t a surprise to her; she knew her uncle had a life, one that included being gone quite a lot. If he wasn’t in the studio recording his next album, he was on tour opening for big name artists, or even on the slight occasion, being the headline act. While he was talented with all the instruments, Bianca felt that she had missed out slightly, having attempted each of the instruments in the house, and finding herself unable to play any of them properly. The clarinet always came out sounding like a dying animal, and the piano was like a little kid making noises, unable to strike up, or remember a proper chord. The drums were the same story; she was unable to create a proper rhythm.

Bianca made her way down to the kitchen, her feet dragging along the hard wood floors the whole time. Glancing at the clock on the wall in the living room, as she passed by, Bianca concluded that it was, way too early for her to be up. Eight in the morning, in her eyes, was an evil time. All the kids were on their way to school, their voices coming through the open windows as they made their way down the street towards the school.

A knock came on the front door, rolling her eyes, Bianca turned back from her route to the kitchen, swearing to god that if was some ding- dong- ditcher, she was going to find out who it was and make their life a living hell. “One second!” she yelled in her sweet soft voice. The petite girl made her way as briskly as a half-woken person could. Opening the white door, Bianca peeked out, seeing a familiar face. Letting out a shriek and pouncing on the boy who was out there, the half-woken state was suddenly one of laughter, energy, and excitement.

The boy was a friend who, as far as Bianca knew, had been a friend since she moved into the house with her uncle. The boy- Adam was the same chubby boy as Bianca had seen in the pictures that people had tried to jog her memory with. She hadn’t seen him in a good 6 months, him having been the drummer of a band who hit it big really quickly- the drummer of the same band that her cousin, Josh, was the lead singer of. Her arms wrapped around the boy as she spoke,” Oh my god, Adam, how have you been?” She said her voice full of enthusiasm and an obvious tone of happiness hidden in it. “When did you get home? Did you have fun? Did you meet a lot of fans?“ Bianca said, almost seeming to say it all in one breath.

Accepted.
I just loved the application. ^^ I've always heard "quality over quantity"; but you balance both out, and that's probably the best thing you can do with any writing piece at all. On Erika, it's not at all what I was expecting for her, with the background and stuff, but I like it. It's probably a lot better than any character background I could come up with. On spelling, grammar, and all that other good stuff - it's pretty good, but there are a few times you have an extra comma or apostrophe that either change a word, or are just excessive. Then, some other times, you have a comma where a semi-colon or another punctuation mark might be more appropriate... but it's all pretty good. I personally loved it, again.
Congratulations, you have just been sorted into the Flames group.
