My Main Character...
Birth Name: Desereigh Marie James
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Year (1-7): 7
Birth date: December 2nd
Personality:
She is very smart although is hardly ever shows in anything more than school. When it comes to school work everything has to be perfect, this usually drives everyone around her absolutely mad. Desereigh tends to be rather random at times and when she gets hyper she can be sort of scary, actually, extremely frightening. She is a likable enough although sometimes she gives people a reason to hate her. Desereigh is not without flaws, she is a procrastinator and mixing that with her perfectionist status makes for some very long nights, especially around final exams and when essays are assigned.
When angry, an entirely new side shows. She is huge on revenge, if someone gets her they better expect to be gotten back, ten times worse. She is very slow to anger but when it comes to her family or her pride she tends to fly off the handle so to say. She has a slight tendency to overreact when peeved and it is best she is left alone. It usually takes a lot to calm her down after she loses her temper. She tends to hold grudges for the longest time. It may one day be her down fall, that and her impatience. Also, she is very emotional and tends to snap and cry at the most unlikely times.
Desereigh is simply awful at first impressions. People have to earn her trust; she does not just give them the benefit of the doubt. This is mainly because she has been hurt far too often and has grown shy and doubtful of even herself. Desereigh does not like her self very often and sometimes hate is even the right word for how she feels. She is very unsure about matters concerning her heart and emotions and needs some more self confidence.
Appearance:
Desereigh is 6'1". She has naturally black hair but she loves to change it, which is where her lovely metamorphmagus abilities come in handy. She favors red hair and tends to keep it that way a lot of the time, most think that is her natural color because of the temper redheads are rumored to have. If she is one of her “I need people to pay attention to me” moods, she changes her hair so that it is highly noticeable. She is not muscular in the least, this is mainly because she finds working out a waste of time, and she stays fit because she is active but not obsessive. Still, Desereigh is slender with long limbs. She tends to favor darker clothing over bright material, because unless she is one of the above mentioned moods she does not prefer to be noticed overly much.
Desereigh has silver eyes which tend to grow lighter or darker with varying moods. Because she loves the color of her eyes so much, the thought of using her metamorphmagus abilities to change them has never even crossed her mind. She has very white, powdery skin and it looks as though it has never been touched by the sun, which is partly true because she does not like hot weather and the sun tends to hurt her eyes. She has rather regal looking features with high cheekbones and almond shaped eyes that are neither too big nor too small. Honestly, she has a rather simple beauty about her, even though she never notices it.
History:
Desereigh was the second child of her Irish mother, Sage O’Neill and her Australian father, Oliver James. Her older sister, Autumn, is three years older than she is and her twin sisters, Skye and Emerald, are only a year younger. From the time of her birth to her sixteenth birthday, the James family lived just outside of Sydney, Australia because of her father's work. The young girl was very much her father's daughter. She tended to follow his example more than her mother's, which aggravated Sage greatly. At the age of five she discovered her metamorphmagus ability. Oliver is a metamorphmagus and it thrilled him that one of his daughters was too. The shared ability is just another reason they are so close.
While growing up, Desereigh was closest to her younger sister Skye because she was more calm and reliable than Emerald. She was never close to Autumn because the older girl was more of a rebel and preferred distance from people. The family lived in walking distance of a lake and every summer the James girls would spend most their time there, where they could fish, swim, and just be kids. Desereigh grew up with a fascination for magic. From the age of three until her acceptance letter her and her sisters were home schooled, learning their basic life skills. She was bright and learned quickly. The young girl was quite often reprimanded for playing with her father's wand. The day she got her acceptance letter, she was ecstatic. She started school, at a girls’ school located on a small island off the coast.
Desereigh adjusted to school well, making friends and such, the only problem was that she had never been in an organized learning environment, at first it was a shock and she was restless but she soon got over that. She was top of her class which was not really all that hard seeing as there were not that many students and most of them were not the brightest. She started an all girls academy. Her sister, Autumn, never attended the school she instead was sent to Beauxbatons to learn manners and how to be a real lady. The year after Desereigh started at the academy; all four James girls were attending school, making for a very quiet home.
When Desereigh was 16, her mother died during the birth of another child, another little girl, who was named Sage after their mother. The summer after her sixth year, her father moved the entire family to Bulgaria because he needed to get away from the memories that haunted them. So, upon moving to their new home, they started a new life where they could all heal and get on with living. Autumn had already moved out, well she had really been kicked out after she graduated, so there were only four girls in the household instead of five.
Starting at Durmstrang was hard because she had never associated with so many boys on a daily basis; she grew extraordinarily self conscious of herself and shy. There had been a few boyfriends before her move and each time she fell in love and got her heart broken, making her cautious of the entire male population. After a few months she started to heal and relax a bit. She then began to take on her normal and rather flirtatious outlook on males.
RP sample:
Anastashya smiled deviously. She was currently trapped in the arms of some gorgeous hunk that had just walked into her favorite hang out, which also happened to be her place of work. Sam’s Palace was the hottest spot in town, the owner, Sam Mercer, was the most sought after man in the town, county even, which is probably how he got all his girls. The girls, nicknamed Sam’s Kittens, were not cheap and any man would be willing pay the large sum for just a night with one of these gorgeous chicks. Sure, Anja's lifestyle had questionable morality, and ethics, well ethics could just go screw themselves for all she cared. She was a whore, that is all she would ever amount to and she was completely content to just let the man kiss her and make her feel pretty for the night, just like every other night with every other horny man with enough cash.
After he was done with her, she would go back to her hole of an apartment. As always, Anja would curl up into a ball and be miserable from about 2:30 until sleep claimed her. No one really needed her for anything except pleasure and it hurt more than any physical pain ever could. In the morning, when all the alcohol had worn off, she would have a huge hangover and her depression would be worse than it had been the day before. That was her life and she just had to play the hand dealt to her. She would fix her make-up and then ready herself to do it all over again.
Anastashya almost hesitated as her thoughts wandered, but she stopped herself from showing any reluctance. The man, Chris, wanted to take her back to his place for the night. With a smile, she agreed, it meant that she would be needed tonight. Anja rolled up onto her toes and kissed him lightly," Of course, that sounds lovely," she whispered as he wrapped his arms around her and began to lead her to the mansion or penthouse apartment he undoubtedly owned. All the guys rich enough to pay for Sam’s girls had nice homes, homes Anja wished that she could stay in for more than a night, just once.
This is my main character for everything. She has grown quite a lot since I first created her. Her personality has formed to be much more than just a flat/cardboard character. She is well rounded with her flaws and weaknesses which I do not believe she had at first. Her history had changed quite considerably which those who knew me when she was still a new character will notice. :-) Desereigh could be a real person... She is almost two years old and will be on the 6th of September. I am incredibly happy...
