It's pretty short. Can you tighten up the grammar and add a bit more detail please? It's sort of hard to say how well you know about the character in such a short application.

Hey prplchnz,
It took a couple of drafts on Cuddy to get it going. (You can ask TelegramSam every time I thought I had it there was a little something missing) What I did was use the setup for House to base it off of. If you need any help, don't be afraid to ask. I'm more than willing.
Take care,
lfeflght

Hey, don't want to step on your toes prplchknz, but I've been working on a Cameron app myself and now seems like a good time to have a go.
Character's Name: Doctor Allison Cameron
Character's Gender: Female
Character's Type: Immunologist and member of Dr. House’s staff
Character's Appearance: Cameron has great bone structure and long dark hair. She enjoys wearing suit vests with her slacks. She has the blessing (and curse) of being considered very attractive. Her emotions readily show up on her face.
Character's Brief History/Background:
Allison Cameron was in the top of her class at medical school and did an internship at the Mayo Clinic. She has a long history of working against people’s stereotypes of beautiful women, and her success is in large part motivated by a desire to prove herself.
Cameron met someone in college and fell in love. He had just been diagnosed with terminal thyroid cancer, but she didn’t let that stop her from marrying him. The marriage lasted six months, leaving her a widow at age 21. She carries the pain of watching her husband die very close to her heart. She thinks it makes her more compassionate, but her colleagues often consider her “compassion” weak and ill-advised.
Working for Doctor House, the brutally honest and notoriously hard-to-work-with diagnostician, should perhaps be hardening Cameron somewhat, but she has for the most part resisted House’s repeated attempts to toughen her up. Cameron is fascinated by her prickly boss. She recently began to fall very hard for the much older, mistrusting and anti-intimate House. Cameron pressed House about his feelings for her on their only date, but didn’t get the answers she was looking for. The reappearance of House’s long-lost love, Stacey, has cooled Cameron off somewhat. Her most recent comment on the matter is that she is over him, and has gotten on the House-hating bandwagon.
Character's Personality:
Cameron respects her colleagues, and values generosity and kindness. She appreciates the humor of House’s many brutal points of view but finds it difficult to get into the snark herself.
Cameron looks for good in everyone. The death of her husband may have proved the non-existence of God, but she still hopes the world will play fair and stop killing off good people. In the end, Cameron wants to believe that love conquers all, in spite of all the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Cameron doesn’t seem to care about shouldering emotional burdens. She has a terrible weakness for befriending the dying because she believes that when good people die, it should have an impact, and someone should be upset. Cameron’s world view is governed by ‘shoulds’ of this kind. Telling patients (and their families) bad news is the hardest part of the job for Cameron, but the same tenacity that keeps her patients in the dark too long also makes her an extremely dedicated doctor.
