The Character
Name: Charlie Peers
Nicknames (if any): Maybe later
Age and year: 16/sixth year
Blood: Muggleborn
Wand: 11 ¼ Female Unicorn mane hair
Personality: Charlie is a reasonable person, young and carefree, she easily wins friends and enemies alike with her non-stop chatter. Even when she doesn’t know an answer in lessons she’ll still contribute in some way, either with a joke, (she’s like that; jokes in nervy situations). She of course likes to get along with people, but abides by house boundaries and tends to take stereotypes as rule of thumb, so don’t be surprised if she’s pretty prejudice against you, she doesn’t mean it harshly. Quick to laugh Charlie breaks into smiles often, even when she shouldn’t, somehow she’ll find a situation funny and she can’t help but let out those laughs, which tends to exasperate some people; particularly Slytherins. Not overly bright nor dim neither Charlie is in the middle ground, loves to answer questions to get house points, but usually can’t think up the answers. Her mouth is likely to run her into a pile of unwanted trouble, and usually isn’t quick enough to get her out of it; pretty helpful. So detentions aren’t a norm for her, but neither are they a rarity. She doesn’t go out to get into trouble; it just seems to find her from time to time, it’s not her fault the forest looked so invitingly dark and creepy, it was only natural to venture inside, and stumbling across a centaur had been complete fluke, she couldn’t have done that on purpose, could she?
Unlike most girls her age she doesn’t have a major obsession with guys, as she finds them mainly obnoxious twirps; the guys who want to date at least. Much preferring easier friendships with guys she doesn’t know why they particularly want more; aren’t they satisfied with simpler friendship rather than a complex whirling of emotions in a relationship? Charlie definitely is, but perhaps she hasn’t found the right guy to sweep her off her feet? Being rather romantically inclined due to her muggle upbringing she half expects and yearns for a knight in shining armour to appear and save her from some terrible fate; being stuck in a tower would be too boring, but perhaps escaping the clutches of some evil dude would do her nicely.
Being loyal but not particularly protective of her friends, who she believes can easily take care of themselves, Charlie is an easy going girl who makes lasting friendships easy due to her friendly buzzing and bubbling personality, yeah she’s worse than champagne sometimes.
Appearance: Hazel brown eyes are illuminated nicely with white but not overly pale skin, her light brown hair hangs, usually loose, down to her slim shoulders. Slender and quite tall, Charlie still doesn’t stand out much from the crowd, she prefers to blend in. With the right amount of subtle make-up she could look even more beautiful; a real gem, but she tends not to use any, never on a day to day basis, only on special occasions which are pretty few and far between.
History: Pleasantly surprised when her letter of acceptance to Hogwarts arrived in her Father’s lap five years ago, she was as one would expect; petrified and exhilarated at the thought of magic actually existing. She’d also yearned for a different world, loved reading fantasy books and watching extravagant films of other worlds at the muggle cinemas, but she’d never quite truly believed it could be a reality. Feeling blessed she’d arrived at Hogwarts with her heart in her mouth, completely new and afraid, not only a new school but an entirely new world was rather daunting to say the very least.
But she’d survived with only a few minor burns, from an exploding wand at one point, thankfully not her own as there was no way she could afford a new one, seeing as her family are poor compared to magical community standards of living at least. Developing relatively strong friendships throughout her time at Hogwarts Charlie is a stalwart friend and companion; sometimes a little drippy and clingy for no apparent reason, other than it being her; random.
RP sample: (Only if applying for a cannon character) Nope, as in not a cannon, in either sense of the word.
PS Sorry it took all day I wanted it to be just right.
