full appearance :

feisty and fiery, redheads are said to have more fire in them then any other. clearly, ariana is noted more for the flames on her head then any trait she's got and frankly, she likes the attention. however, due to the fact she's not quite the only one with this rare flaming color, the notice is divided between her and the infamous lily evans. quite often she's mistaken for dearest evans, but rarely does she accept those who make this mistake because as wonderful as lily is, ariana prefers to be ariana. besides, we promise there's a difference. you see, whereas miss lily does have red hair, hers is quite a bit more auburn and therefore a shade or two darker. ariana, with her french inheritance, has mixed blonde into her red and it almost appears highlighted; glimmering in certain amount of light. brighter and far more curlier, hers is also a tad bit longer then evans' and unlike her wavy hair, ariana possesses outright impossible curls that could take shirley temple out with one flick if she didn't tame them every goddamn morning. let's just say at seven years old, she was the perfect raggedy ann.

but besides her hair, the next thing most often notice are her eyes. instead of being green like she wished, she carries a pair of color-changing hazel eyes. they are most certainly considered windows into her soul and are framed by thick, long lashes that bring out the color even more. normally, the color is a cross between green and gold, but in heights of emotion, they have the tendency to turn a deep, emerald green or almost a dark gold, freckled by slight splatters of faint green. large and round, her eyes stand out extremely against her pale skin and dark hair. when she's out of her reality, they blanket over with a slight mist and in sheer excitement or fear, they sparkle and tear like massive stars slapped onto the middle of her face. she's able to portray more emotions with her eyes then even her words and though her warm looks can make you feel fuzzy inside, her glares can stop time.

but the hair and eyes are both planted on one important factor of the human body; the face. anna's face is without a doubt pretty. it may perhaps not be considered beautiful, but it is nonetheless attractive. round and soft, her features portray kindness and gentleness, even shyness, and upon first meetings, that's exactly what people expect from her. long hair, big eyes, cute face; why, she looks like annie. how could anything be wrong with this girl? you might wonder. that is, until she opens her mouth and you notice the pink fullness of her lips must be there to compete with the loudness of her voice which will blow you away. even her skin would make you think for differently for it's creamy softness screams soft right off the bat. naturally, with all redheads comes the freckles and believe it or not, ariana has had the enthusiasm to count every single one on her face and left arm. amazingly, a new one seems to appear every time she checks and after five years of endless counting, she gave up at thirteen.

last, but not least, would be the best trait of a girl; her body. reaching a full, healthy height of five feet seven inches, airy was once considered tall for her age until the boys began to sprout after her. what was once despised, abnormal appendages has now become beautiful, tanned legs she doesn't mind having around. from the start, anna had appeared fragile and fairly delicate for her age, to the point where people rarely tried to hurt her even jokingly in fear it would really injure her. the softest of punches would leave little bruises on her arms and though she insisted she didn't feel them, the color of her skin convinced her peers otherwise. even to this day she appears just as fragile, though if tested, she's not quite so delicate. in fact, challenge her in any physical contest and she promises to amaze you with the strength she has in those skinny arms. her punches can break faces and her kicks can break legs. bone on bone, baby.

boggart : ariana's boggart is that of a wolf-like, abnormally large dog. the beast appears diseased and rogue with vivid amber yellow orbs that swim in the pools of it's deadly burgundy eyes traced with interconnected veins. it snarls to reveal a row of sharp, vampiric teeth caked with dark yellow crust and infected saliva. the creature is at least the twice of a normal wolf with dark gray, almost black, fur with patches of bare skin from which fur has been torn. it's claws are stained brown with blood and it stays crouched, obviously preparing to attack and launch itself onto it's victim.

patronus : peacock.

ariana's happiest memory may have been the day when she first stepped foot on kings cross station, platform nine and three quarters. barely able to contain herself, ariana's hyperness knew no bounds and she had been all over the place, eyes shooting from the train to the number of students and families scattering about to get good seats. her brothers, already boarded with tiny farewells in their impatience, were entirely out of sight and ariana lagged behind her parents, too focused on different to things to care for what they were saying. however, as the warning whistle blew, they took her aside and with words of encouragement and a long goodbye, the abnormally tiny first year was on board. the train ride had honestly been quite miserable since she had ended up trapped with a bunch of pig-headed boys, but otherwise, it was amazing. stepping into the boat and searching frantically for the giant squid, going to the castle and staring open-mouthed at the enchanted ceiling, being sorted and eating more food then her stomach could handle was only a scratch on the surface of what real joy she had experienced. obviously, without surprise, hogwarts was every eleven-year-old's dream come true.. that is, until classes started.

dream job : dragon tamer.
overall personality :

WILD: there are few words that can describe a wild child except for saying they are simply 'out of control'. having grown up in a loving, but rowdy home filled with males, anna never did get the chance to learn how to be a girl as much as she should have. though she has those girlish loves with beauty and clothes, there's a completely different side to her that not many other females possess. unafraid and extremely daring, there are a few things ariana won't do. give her any dare, any mischief, any challenge and even if it's beyond her limits, she'll do the best she can to prove that she's able to do it or at least that she had the guts to try. considering her brothers are all boys, sports from football to quidditch all come in one package and she's never been afraid to get down and dirty on the muddy field, even if it messes up her hair. anything for that adrenaline.

OPINIONATED: ariana also proves to be extremely opinionated, without a doubt. when it comes to arguing about her beliefs, she's as stubborn as a rock and refuses to even look at someone else's point of view. her thoughts are biased and frankly, she doesn't seem to care. she is self righteous and believes herself to be perfect if not almost. she's not by any means a vulgar person and is careful to keep herself appropriate, at least by appearance, but that doesn't hide the fact she's stubborn beyond the bearable limit. she's no less then lady-like and loathes admitting her flaws hence the reason she's also considered highly obnoxious. but despite all her negatives in personality, she still manages to have a caring heart. it may be difficult to assume so, but ariana has managed to have more patience then people expect from her and though it's rare for her to care in such ways, it's happened. just don't argue with her, she's got a talent for twisting words and confusing you.

FIERCE: as we've discussed before, redheads are fierce. there is no kind of shit or bullying this girl take from anyone, not even her own family. having grown up with boys whose main goal in life was to pick on her for being female, ariana has pulled together more passion and toughness then one expects. with a short temper, she can take most of the criticism with gritted teeth and white fists, but there's so much anyone can take before they explode. in fact, because she got into so many fights, ariana agreed with herself on one method. all persons are given three chances and on the third offense, she'll either get up and break their faces or verbally abuse them until they crack. it is nearly impossible to get ariana to do what she doesn't want to and she won't mind letting you know she doesn't like it. being brutally honest, she's also known to innocently admit honesty that sometimes hurts others, but she can't help it. ariana goldstein does everything except lie and if you expect her to then she'll make sure it's etched in your beating heart that you won't ever ask of it again.

CREATIVE: artistic in all ways imaginable, ariana not only uses the right side of her brain for all things logic, but also her right side for all things artistic. specifically, she has a passion for music in the forms of metal, rock and indie. she does have the ability to play the guitar as she learned from her eldest brother quite a while back, but she'd rather have someone else play for her while she sang. the problem is she can't play an instrument and sing at the same time. for some reason, it poses a huge challenge for her she has yet to overcome. however, she loves actual art just as much as she adores music. though she prefers painting, ariana has always had a knack for doodling and is constantly doing so on her papers and homework's, scribbling over the covers of her journals and textbooks. if she has a strong urge to randomly draw, she'll take a pencil from her hair and even take it out on an empty wall if it's available. a fast learner, she's been able to teach herself and is a self-proclaimed famous artiste who'll one day sell her nonexistent paintings for millions.

THE BEGINNING

ethnicity : french, british and irish.
hometown : paris, france.
mother and father : annaliese {deceased} & roger goldstein.
brothers and sisters : jeremy & timothy goldstein; nineteen years of age, irish twins.
other relatives : none.
overall history :

• Needless to say, when one recalls the days they spent at Hogwarts, it is always proven odd that Roger Goldstein ever ended up with clingy, ferocious Annaliese Michaels, but obviously, the couple and their existing relationship was not impossible. Though the married two, even to this day denies it completely, Roger and Anna weren't quite given the choice whether or not they wanted to wed each other. In fact, their marriage had been undeniably arranged, simply because their parents both found each other fit. Nevertheless, it wasn't as though they hated each other considering when dearest Ronald left Lavvie in the dust, Roger had been somewhat of a support to a pretty girl in need. Everyone knew at that point he just wanted to get in her pants, but 'lo and behold, he not only fulfilled his manly needs, but he ended up with one very special prize that came from it.
•
• A very special prize that was first named Jeremy. The boy was perfect for the family: blonde, green-eyed, healthy and chubby. Born in January, his parents went at it again in two months and by December, another child was born and he was dubbed Sir Timothy; Jeremy's younger, happy Irish twin. Born in the same year, yet not in the same birth. The boys, both alike in appearance except for the fact Timothy possessed blue eyes, were raised together as twins. They grew at the same rate, learned at the same rate and were practically twins, even being born in the same year. Both were different in their own ways, yes, but one thing they never failed to differ in was the love they had for a darling baby girl who followed only three years after they popped into existence themselves.

And thus, Ariana was born, the latest and last addition to the dysfunctional crazy Goldstein family.
•
• Ariana was a sharp girl, even from a young age. Her brothers weren't quite used to her presence in the beginning, but being only three years old each, they lived with what they got. Besides, she was cute and there is no big brother in the world who doesn't want to carry around his baby sister at least twice a day every day.
•
• "Anyway, like said before, I was a smart girl. Bloody smart - enough so that you couldn't fool me, not even the slightest. My parents have tried all your classic tricks, down from Santa Clause up to the Boogeyman who never actually had boogers. I was so insistent on proving them wrong, I sat up on the roof through Christmas night and almost froze to death. I've even slept under my bed for a month to see if that so-called Boogeyman would really jump out at me and take me to the world under the filth. As we all know, no such thing happened. Of course, I already knew all of those things wouldn't really happen. As we established before, I was sharp. I've always been sharp, so it's commonly asked why I wasn't a Ravenclaw.
•
• Well, let's say when it came to actual book smarts, I failed miserably, at least in the beginning. When people describe me as sharp, it's often only in common sense, you know? Like you can't lie to me. I always know if you lie to me, just don't do it. It was somehow that later on, all this smartness just popped into me. Suddenly, I could comprehend and understand in ways I couldn't before. It was like my brain had matured with my body. It was pretty damn awesome and when I actually started focusing, I got above average. Anyway, onwards, I think it was at age six I discovered my bloody powers. My parents expected me to show something earlier, but when I turned five, still nothing had happened and I'll admit, even I got a little worried. I had my brothers help me with every scheme I came up with to bring out my magical powers, but I'm telling you, nothing worked. I climbed a tree, jumped out and broke my arm. I went swimming during a snowfall and almost got hypothermia - I even set my dress on fire. I'm telling you, I tried freaking everything.
•
• But it really only showed when I got my hair cut for the first time. I loved my hair, I still do to be honest. I hate getting cut, even the slightest and I didn't mind hiding that when I was little. When we got to the salon, I was screaming and kicking as violently as a brutal little girl my age could. But they strapped me down in one of those bloody spinny chairs and then it came, that freaky motor razor that took off all my hair and left me as bald as a new born baby. I didn't attend school at the time, so no one was there to see my embarrassment, but I was still devestated. My barbie hair was gone - totally gone, just like that. Bald as an old guy, I swear. Apparently, someone had told my mom that if you shave your daughter's head bald, her hair will grow better and faster then before.
•
• It was lucky I never found out who it was.
•
• Anyway, through that same night, my hair magically grew about five inches. I woke up with this whole bunch of red hair and I'll admit, even though I looked like a guy, I was overjoyed. Then strange things started happening - I could make my dolls move without touching them and I could blow out candles from the other side of the room. It was awesome. My parents began teaching me the basics so that when I actually attended Hogwarts, I'd be ready. Let me tell you, I took all these magical powers for granted and used them for freaking everything. Except one thing - physical activity. Since I looked like a boy with my partly long hair, I went everywhere as one. My big brothers and I... we were triplets, man, triplets. It was only in my second year of Hogwarts was I forced into girliness when my mom made my hair grow out.
•
• Throughout my first year, I was honestly considered a very cute little boy. No one really questioned my gender though because if anyone said I was too much of a girl, my punches would send them thinking different. Being a boy was being strong to me at that age and let's just say, I didn't bother fighting that idea. However, through my second and third year, my hair grew out and by my fourth, I fully developed and matured. It was pathetic, I was underestimated all over again. Didn't last for long though because as much as I looked like girl with my boobs and hair, I still had guts. I just happened to have more brains. It's why I got Ravenclaw, really. I'm tough and courageous, but I've got intelligence. There ain't nothing in this world I'm afraid of, I've proven it to anyone whose asked and there ain't nothing I don't know. I just don't like crickets. But it's more of an EW THEY'RE GROSS instead of an actual fear.
•
• Anyway, around my fourth year, my mother passed away. I'll admit to you I was fucked over because of it and I did horrible in school for that entire year. My spontaneous attitude had worn out to the thin, but we had all known Anna was going to pass away soon. You see, she had a genetic disease from birth and though they had been trying to cure with test medication, there had never been an actual cure. We were told her children were healthy and had fortunately not obtained the disease from her, but her own fate was hanging by a thread. And one night, the thread broke and she was no more. I'm over it now and though I don't grieve over my mother, I am quite aware that she existed and I love her all the same.
•
• Nothing else really has happened in my life and it only leaves me to say that my life story is still being written.
•
• So keep reading."

roleplay example :

sorry about that. my shift key lierally died like right when i started. i press out of habit any way, but as you can see right now, it's still on off mode. it bumped on through the little bit of my application, but it's still kind of dead, so i can't fix it about now. i'd like to, but i really don't want to press caps lock twenty million times over, if that's alright. i'm really sorry about this! my sample post was copied and pasted, so that's the only reason it's got capitals; same with my history. i only did some minor editing.
