LadySnape - May 20, 2008 08:43 PM (GMT)
[Name:] Aurora Rose Ravenwood
Nicknames: Princess; Call her Rory and she’ll hex you faster than yesterday.
[Age:] 17
[Bloodline:] (Muggle-born, half-blood, pureblood, or mixed; you may explain further if you wish.)
Pureblood; Is there any other ?
[House:] Slytherin
[Appearance:]
Her heart-shaped face looks like it is carved from pale alabaster. With her light, almost white complexion, one would think her sickly, but, she is not. She prefers darkness to light. Therefore the paleness is natural and healthy. Aurora's most stunning feature is probably her eyes - though she's quick to inform you that there are many things that are stunning about her, thank you very much for noticing. They make one think that she may not be of this world. They are a beautiful sapphire blue color, which are all the more arresting against the dark fire of her hair and the paleness of her skin. Her eyes tend to hide her emotions fairly well, the only time her emotions really show is when she is passionate about something. When she is, her eyes appear as the color of lightening, crackling with electricity. Her slightly pouty lips are generally pulled into that wry smirk that gives others the feeling that she knows something they do not and never will.
With her coloring one would wonder if she is a vampire and has had her fair share of being assumed as such, Aurora has cultivated the typical appearance of one simply because she has an affinity for all things Gothic. Her fiery dark auburn hair is completely natural, she does not use the charm to dye it.
Her straight posture coupled with every graceful movement she makes; all of it is evidence that Aurora is first and foremost a lady. She carries herself in a fashion reminiscent of a queen amongst her humble subjects. Subtle gestures such as the lift of her chin and the perfected smirk upon her lips are expressed artistically to demonstrate as much.
Aurora has been taught throughout the entirety of her relatively short life to emanate beauty, carry a sophisticated air, and hold a certain grace. She certainly executes the role of a powerful beauty absolutely perfectly, never faltering in her appearance, looking flawless no matter what the situation may or may not be.

[Character Personality:]
Aurora is a fairly complex young woman. She is very intelligent, and never gets distracted from her work. She has a quick wit and a keen eye for details. Something of a perfectionist, she will remain on the sidelines until everything has been carried out in exact detail. She likes to think deeply, plan carefully, and make a systematic and appropriate exposition of her views.
Aurora's ability to look at a problem from a variety of angles is extremely useful. When faced with a dilemma, she'll act with speed and conviction, since she believes intensely in what she is doing and rarely waste time or energy on projects lacking in good potential. Although it is difficult for her to take advice, she is patient with others when it comes to giving a helping hand.
She isn't afraid to say what she thinks about something, to speak her opinion. She tends to choose her words with great care. However, Aurora can be very sarcastic and enjoys making witty comments. She can be cruel at times, and at others, she is too nice for her own good. The sarcasm masks her true emotions at times. It is so easy to retreat behind them and a ready smirk. That is the image she projects to people, a pampered, Pureblood princess. Behind this facade lies a stone wall that no one has ever gotten through.
She’s erected the stone wall in defense of being hurt and rejected. She can’t stand rejection from anyone. The only times the walls come tumbling down is when she is alone at night. That is the only time that she will allow herself to cry. She has complete mastery over most of her emotions. The one she has yet to gain complete control over is her temper. She has an incredible temper. She is easily angered and usually keeps it bottled up inside, fearing that people won't like the anger that comes out. But, when it does express itself, you better run. When her temper is unleashed, Mt. Vesuvius pales in comparison. Her temper can influence the weather. Somehow, when her temper starts to show, thunder rumbles overhead as clouds begin to grow.
As passionate as her temper gets so does her heart. When she luves, Aurora does so fiercely and without boundary. She is a real romantic, enjoying things that most men seem to have forgotten. Chivalry, they call it. They say it's dead, but sometimes there's a man here and there who remembers the meaning of the word. It's these guys who manage to catch her attention, and she doesn't lose attention easily. She can only really like one guy at a time, and when she falls she falls hard. She doesn't get her heart broken easily, but when it happens, she can't help but be devastated. She's had it broken once, and because of that one time, has a very low opinion of most men. It takes a lot for them to gain her trust.
She is very determined. Her determination has gotten her very far in life. Whenever she tried to give up, her older brother had always given her a talk about determination, and he taught her how to have a strong will. Now, at age seventeen, she sticks to what she believes in and will never quit, no matter how tempting it may be to do so. Another of Morgana’s strengths is her ability to manipulate people. She knows how to twist people around her finger, and often takes advantage of that.

[History:] (your parents names and what they did for a living, when your character first displayed signs of magic etc.)
Her parents first met when Arabella D’Arcy was brought to the ball that was held for James Ravenwood’s eighteenth birthday. It was luve at first sight. James courted Arabella for about a year and a half before Lord D’Arcy gave his consent for his oldest daughter’s hand. They were wed in the D’Arcy Manor in Cornwall. About nine months later they had their first child, James Elliott XI.
About three years later Aurora Rose was born. She was born with a full head of dark auburn hair. Her parents didn’t understand where the dark red hair had come from. There hadn’t been a redhead in the Ravenwood line for almost three centuries. But, Her mother’s ancestors had several redheads on the Irish side, where they had roots in County Galway.
Aurora was raised from birth to believe that it's a man's war, and the men will fight. While the women will just stand on the sidelines looking pretty while they nurse their men back to health. All she can remember are nannies and private tutors.
What she barely remembers are the pretty lights that helped soothe her asleep when she was little. One day she asked her mother about them. Her mother told Aurora that Aurora created the soft blue and pink lights at night. The first time her mother saw strange lights coming from the nursery was when Aurora was about a year old. Since no one was bothering her daughter, she left the matter alone.
She was raised to be a proper, Pureblood lady. She was instructed in the art of classic music, the art of embroidery , singing lessons, and horseback riding. At the age of seven, Aurora was sent to a finishing school. Then, the letter came. Her parents argued over whether or not to continue her proper upbringing or have her get a magickal education. In the end her mother won. Aurora couldn’t wait to go to Hogwarts. She had heard all about the professors and subjects from her older brother. She would finally attend Hogwarts just as James did.

[Year:] first year according to the site

[Special Talents/Info:] Her true talent is her mind. She is a natural at legilimency. She first experienced this when she was seven. She found her older brother in the dining room. ‘ How did you sleep ? ’ She heard. Out loud she answered that she had slept just fine. Her brother, James jr , turned to her and asked how she bloody did that. Aurora didn’t know what he was talking about. He told her that she must have read his mind or something.

[Favorite Class:]
Transfiguration ( she wants to be an animagus ), Potions ( she has a natural aptitude and loves the Professor )
[Worst Class:]
Divination ( thinks it’s a waste of time ), Arithmancy ( Can’t stand anything with numbers )
[Owl, Cat, Toad, Rat, Tarantula or Pygmy Puff?]
a black cat with emerald eyes named Enigma

[Please complete the following writing sample:]

You are sneaking out of your Common Room at night and a Prefect grabs your arm. They want to know why you are out of your bed after curfew and threaten to report you/take house points. Post this scenario from your characters point of view and beware of GodModing the Prefect's actions. This is to get an idea of how your character reacts and to get you considering their thought processes. You do not have to escape, simply react to the scene realistically. You may create a valid reason/excuse if your character is not the type to break rules (illness, note from headmaster, etc..).

“ Hold it. Just what are you doing out of bed, Miss ?Ten points from . . . Hold on, what house are you from ? Where are your robes ? You are not to be out of bed, Miss. And especially like that. ”
Slowly, Aurora turned around, a slight smile gracing her pouty lips.
“ Oh, no. You caught me, ” She pouted. Looking down at herself in her virginal white night dress, a smirk caught at the corners of her mouth. With a swish of her hips, she sauntered closer to the boy older than her. She didn’t stop until she was pressed against his form.
“ What are you going to do to me, sir ? ” Aurora whispered in the Prefect’s ear, her breath rustling his hair.


A / N : It has been fixed and cleaned up a bit.

I ADORE your bio! Just two things before I approve you. First off in special talents, you need to take out the part abotu your temper affecting the weather. This is an ability that you can apply for in the registration office once you have over 70 posts if the power isn't already taken. You would go to the Elementalist Registration office. The other things is that while everything is really super detailed and looks great, there isn't anything about the first time you did magic which honestly would just really put the finishing touch on the bio. This part isn't required, btu I sure would love to see it if you don't mind! :)
