EXTENDED APPLICATION -- PLEASE DO AT LEAST A PARAGRAPH ON EACH OF THESE, UNLESS THEY ARE STATED TO BE OPTIONAL
Personality: Spunky and outgoing, Mari has always had plenty of friends. She had her share of relationships before settling down with Tony, including a short fling with richard_pitt, which resulted in his firstborn son, Jeremy.
Personality wise, Mari is intelligent and creative. She's a skilled artist and photographer and a great mother. Her children is the most important thing in the world to her and she would die rather than see them hurt. She's not afraid to take risks, especially for her kids or her career. She is also absolutely impulsive. She jumps into things without thinking a lot of the times and even when she does think, she doesn't always let the possible consequences stop her. She's stubborn and moody and quick to anger and she can really hold a grudge.
Mari has a big love of nature, which lends itself well to her job, since she often gets paid to photograph things in nature. She loves the variety and beauty being a photographer brings her. She has a quirky sense of humor and is quite the extrovert. She gets along well with most people and hates almost no one. She finds it easy to charm her way into getting to photograph things she might not normally be allowed near.
She is generous and a bit naive, though life experience has taken away some of that naivety. She still likes to think the best of people until proven otherwise, preferring to usually keep an optimistic outlook on things.
Strengths: Both magical and personality: No magical strengths, obviously :P Personality wise, Mari is intelligent and create. She's a skilled artist and photographer and a great mother (even if she hasn't always been thhere for Jeremy, which she acknowledges as her biggest mistake/regret). Her children are the most important thing in the world to her and she would die rather than see them hurt. She's not afraid to take risks, especially for her kids or her career.
Weaknesses: Both magical and personality: She is absolutely impulsive. She jumps into things without thinking a lot of the times and even when she does think, she doesn't always let the possible consequences stop her. She's stubborn and moody and quick to anger and she can really hold a grudge. She's also pretty naive, or, at least, she used to be. It was this aspect of her personality that made it easy for Richard to convince her to let him raise Jeremy on his own.
Fears: Mari's main fear is that of abandonment, of losing the people she loves. She's very independent and has a hard time depending on other people or letting herself lean on them, because she's afraid that the day will come when they aren't tere anymore and then where would she be. She's much more comfortable in the role of protector than protectee.
History: Mari was born in a small town in Connecicut where she lived until she was 13. AT that time, her father got a job overseas and the family moved to London where she has lived ever since. She worked as a barmaid while she was a Uni student and it was during this time she met and had a tumultuous affair with Richard Pitt. The affair yielded a son - jeremy_pitt - who Richard convinced her to give up and let him raise. Lacking the resources to raise a child on her own, she caved under his pressure and agreed to the arrangement and didn't see either of them until just recently when she ran into Richard at Hogwarts.
The Christmas after Jeremy was born (a few months after his birth), Mari unwisely got drunk at a Christmas party and ended up sleeping with Anthony Sawyer (who was not above taking advantage of a drunken classmate nice guy, eh?). It was unplanned and she was unprepared and as a result of her bad judgement there, she ended up pregnant again. Under pressure from both of their families, she and Tony were married. That child is bryantsawyer. She has three other children with Tony - 15 year old Sammy, 11 year old precociousizzy, and 8 year old Kenny.
For her part, she did love Tony at first, but Tony was too in love with himself and his career to ever truly return the sentiment. She's long since fell out of love with him, but she stays for her children, to give them a better life.
Mari now has a rather lucrative career as a freelance photographer. She loves her job, especially for all the traveling it allows her to do. She is also trying to rebuild a relationship with her son Jeremy, who she has recently reunited with for the first time since his birth.
Physical Description: At the least, provide base details of build, height, eye/hair colour, and complexion. Average height, slender, long dark brown hair and blue eyes.
Significant Relationships:
Family: Optional: Mari adores her children and would do anything for them. Her biggest regret in life is having given up Jeremy to his father and she is quite grateful to be able to rectify the situation now.
Friends: Optional:
Other: Optional: richard_pitt is someone who Mari hated for a long time, because it was so much easier to blame him for losing Jeremy than to blame herself. Since having him (and Jeremy) back in her life, however, she has seen how much he's changed and has grown to depend on him a lot - more than she cares to admit.
Special Considerations: Such as broom ownership, being an animagus, famous in some form, or a metamorphmagus. All are subject to mod approval. None

Altas:
Prior School: East London High School.
What house were they in? (Or would they have been in had they gone to Hogwarts?): Had she been a wizard and attended Hogwarts, she would have been a Gryffindor with a secondary house of Ravenclaw.
Why were they in that house? (Or why would they have been in that house?): She's exuberant, daring, and full of good humor. She's impulsive and often jumps into things without thinking of the consequences, which might be seen as stupid by some and she is not without her regrets, but she doesn't often let fear of possible consequences stop her from doing something. She's all heart, relying on emotion and intuition to guide her actions. She has the same innate curiosity that many Ravenclaws have (as well as a love of History), but she could never be as studious as many of them seem to be.
Occupation: Freelance Photographer. She travels the world shooting for various magazines, etc.

"I'm sorry, Bry," she said quietly, "I.. you shouldn't have to find out like this." He shouldn't have to find out at all. She gave him a look that begged for forgiveness.
"Jeremy is your brother."
