BAD HABITS:[/b]
- Juliette gives people benefit of the doubt, even if they are CLEARLY bad and messed up people.
- She has a habit of being too friendly. She was the little girl that would take candy from a stranger’s van if the situation came up.
- She will most likely scream if she is touched
- When Julie is bored, she bites her lip.
- Whenever she doesn’t understand something, she laughs to try and make the situation lighter and to make herself feel better.
GOOD HABITS:[/b]
-Juliette is a great artist and loves drawing for other people.
-She always wears a smile
-Julie is modest and doesn’t dress like a skank
-She tries not to procrastinate on school assignments.
-She is a good girl: she doesn’t break the rules.
STRENGTHS:[/b]
- Juliette has a very happy and friendly aura that seems to radiate from her. As a result, people typically don’t pick on her or bully her (in front of her at least) because she seems like such a sweet ball of sunshine. Her friends from when she was little always said that she made school happier when she walked into the classroom.
- Juliette hangs on to her dreams and views of people. This sense of stubbornness makes her an avid dreamer and a great friends (since even if she has friends who don’t like each other, she won’t put any gossip from either side into account).
- Julie can draw almost anything she can see.
- Julie is a very selfless person- she puts everyone else’s happiness and well being before her own, even when it affects her negatively.
WEAKNESSES:[/b]
-Besides her dreams and opinions of people, Julie is gullible due to her sheltered life.
-Juliette has an intense fear of being touched, which has caused her to miss out on many normal teenage activities, like dating, kissing ect. She will go to all costs to avoid being touched and if she is touched, she either cries or screams, depending on the situation.
-Julie’s selflessness and “good in everyone” philosophy is a very easy way for others with dark interests and sadistic views to hurt her.
-She comes off as being the “not the sharpest tool on the tool shed” type of girl…
PERSONALITY:[/b] Juliette is seen by everyone as a ball of sunshine. For some this ball of sunshine is warm, gentle and pleasant, and for others, it’s too bright and annoying. She’s the girl who is always smiling and tries to befriend anyone she can to make them happy. Julie was sheltered as a kid, but that does not make her extremely gullible like she seems. She is open to new ideas and listens to others opinions well, but she won’t let anyone alter her dreams (as spontaneous as they can be) or her opinion of people. Speaking of her views of people, she thinks there is good in anyone and everyone. This sense of trust has turned on her before, but her strong will and stubbornness refuses to let that ruin her philosophy.
Juliette is pretty naïve despite her stubborn side. It sounds contradicting, but other than her opinions and thoughts, she is open to try new things without much thought because after all, in Julie’s utopian world, no one is truly evil or bad. Despite what you may think, Julie is also capable of emotions other than happiness. When she is sad she will cry (but not in public- that’ll make others sad!) and when she is mad, she may become a bit quiet (but she won’t yell- that’ll upset people too!). Pretty much the only negative emotion she will show in public is fear.
Juliette has an intense fear of being touched. It isn’t the typical fear people have like of spiders, where they’ll gasp or shriek a little. When Juliette is touched, depending on the scenario, she will burst into tears, jerk away suddenly, or scream. This fear spawns from a past event that traumatized her. This fear feeds her inexperience in life a bit because well... She’s never been kissed nor had a boyfriend. It also keeps her from lingering in crowded places or even hugging people.

Memories [IC]
BOGGART:[/b] A huge hand grabbing at her.
DEMENTOR:[/b] When she was six, she was coming home from a pageant she won. Her family stopped for ice cream- a rare treat. She went off to play by a tree next to the little ice cream shoppe where her parents were ordering for her. Suddenly, someone grabbed her arm and attempted to kidnap her. Luckily, she instinctively bit her attempted abductor and fought him off and ran inside.
PATRONUS:[/b] Her patronus takes (or will take) the form of a butterfly. When Julie got her first sketchbook at the age of 6, she instantly began drawing. She ended up drawing a big tree with a bunch of tiny flowers on it. Her mother saw it and was genuinely astonished on the gift that Juliette had. She ended up hanging it up in the living room in a fancy frame and insisted Julie draw more. It was one of the only times that Julie can remember that her mother wasn't pushing for her to be better- she was happy with her just the way she was then.
MIRROR OF ERISED:[/b] To be loved for who she is- meaning having a boyfriend who respects the fact that she doesn’t like being touched and seeing her parents by her side despite their religious views.
VERITASERUM:[/b]
-The reason why she is scared of being touched (the attempted abduction)
-She was a pageant girl starting at the age of 3
-Her parents have disowned her
-She is adopted
AMORTENTIA:[/b]
-freshly baked cookies
-jasmines in blume
-the cologne her father used to wear
[/font]

Family & History [IC]
MOTHER:[/b]
Biological: Patricia Rivers, 45, deceased
Adoptive: Alyssa Harrow, 49
FATHER:[/b]
Biological: Daniel Rivers, 43, deceased
Adoptive: Leonardo Harrow, 53
SIBLINGS:[/b]
None
OTHER IMPORTANT FAMILY:[/b]
Adoptive grandmother: Madeline Harrow, 73
HISTORY:[/b]
Juliette’s biological parents died when she was an infant through a car crash, leaving the baby girl orphaned. Lucky for her, Alyssa and Leonardo Harrow were looking for the perfect baby girl to call their own due to their incapability to have children. Juliette’s eyes are what caught their attention, they’ve repeatedly said. Soon after meeting and filling out the adoption papers, the couple brought their new baby home to their small town home in Northern Ireland.
As soon as Julie could walk, they put her in pageants. It was Alyssa’s dream to have the most beautiful and renowned daughter to continue her legacy as a beauty queen. Along with pageants, they were actively involved in church and were very religious and intolerant people. Witches and wizards? They should be burned on the stake. Anyways, Julie grew up winning some pageants and losing others, and despite her attention filled life, she became more worried about how her mom, dad and her opponents felt rather than her happiness. She began to try and lose some pageants on purpose when she began to see how pushy some mothers were to their daughters.
When Juliette was five, she had won her biggest pageant yet so as a reward, her parents took her to get a rare treat of ice cream. It was a small shop so while her parents were ordering, she went outside to play a little. A stranger lingered around her, but she was so innocent that she didn’t think anything of it. Suddenly that stranger grabbed her arm and covered her face. Julie panicked and fought as much as she could- biting, screaming and wiggling in the arms of that stranger. Luckily, she was able to bite his hand hard enough to have him drop her, and she ran inside to the safety of her parents. From that day on, she refused to be touched. Her mother didn’t want to hear anything of that incident because she refused to think that her perfect little girl was flawed, so she never got any treatment from therapists or psychologists.
Whenever someone touched her, she flinched and screamed or started crying out of the intense fear of being grabbed again. This and her pageants continued throughout her childhood, along with her parents keeping her as sheltered from the bad world as possible. Suddenly, when she was 11, she received a strange letter in the mail saying that she was accepted into Hogwarts. Her parents threw away the letter at first, but when it came the second day in a row, they were disgusted. They took her to the church to try and rid any magic in her or demons as a desperate attempt to keep their perfect daughter, but to their dismay, it didn’t work. They sent her to live with her grandmother- the only relative that would take her, and they haven’t spoken since. Now Juliette is sixteen, scarred for life, in need of love and too concerned with others to take care of herself.
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:
(from ancient history x__x)
Zoey paused in mid air, almost dropping her bat as the crowd went beserk and her world went silent. The Seekers were racing for the Snitch, and Danny was ahead. She crossed her fingers and bit her lip, instantly yelping at the injury she foolishly gave herself and just hurt. She patted it, seeing no blood there and more, but the pain lingered. Danny reached out and... HE CAUGHT IT! Zoey cheered, screaming her lungs out in happiness and pride of Danny and her team. Ravenclaw hadn't even scored a point, and while the Raven's got slaughtered, her team remained untouched by a Bludger. She smiled, lowering to the ground and dropping her broom once she was able to jump off. She instantly ran to to Danny, hugging and jumping with joy.
"You caught it again!! Without a dragon!" she smiled, pulling him closer and pressing her lips to his. She them pulled back. her eyes wide and the crowd going silent for a second before 'awh'ing. Her cheeks went almost as red as her Quidditch robe she wore, as she stood there with her arms around him and her blue eyes wide with shock of what she had just did...And liked.

OH HAI THERE. RISS313 of CAUTION2.0 HERE, AND SHE'S TAKING COMPLETE CREDIT FOR THIS NIFTY APPLICATION TEMPLATE. SHE MADE IT ALL BY HERSELF WITH THE HELP OF THE PLAIN WHITE T'S & THEIR SONG "HEY THERE DELILAH" AND THE COLOR BLENDER. IT'S MADE FOR HARRY POTTER AND IT WAS A REAL PIECE OF WORK.
Your character is really good, so please don't worry about the pending thing! She's very interesting and your writing style is really lovely and I can't wait for you to get her out and about. I just need you to add in a roleplaying sample, please, and also the form of her patronus - even if she can't cast one yet! Thank you and I'm very much looking forward to having you accepted and RPing with us!
