Character Information
Name: Sunny Charles
LJ Username: sunny_charles
House: Slytherin
Age/Year: 6th
Birthdate: September 7
Bloodline: Muggleborn
Heritage: Russian on her mother's side (her great grandparents imigrated from Russia to England after they got married), English on her father's.
Personal History: Sunny's history is rather dull unfortunately. Her parents (Roger and Carol), both investment bankers, met, got married and had Sunny within a two year time frame. Whenever Sunny hears the pair fighting, she feels the need to remind them that they shouldn't have hurried their relationship, that they might have spent some time getting to know each other. Perhaps then, they wouldn't fight? Yeah, this does not go over so well with the parental units. Not that she hears them fight that much, they're never home enough. Always off somewhere doing investment banker stuff that Sunny has never bothered to take an interest in. They used to take her to charity balls until she started abusing the people who wore fur to the events.
Like almost every teenager, she rebels against her parents not because she hates them, but because deep down all she wants is more attention. Her parents don't see it this way though and are forever exasperated at the crazy things Sunny comes up with. When she was thirteen, she decided she was a vegetarian and she made her mother come home early every day for the entire school holidays just so Carol could cook her a different tasty vegetarian meal every night. She went back to being omnivorous as soon as she returned to Hogwarts. When she was fourteen, she put out the fact she wanted to get a mohawk and several pirecings and even though she never went through with either, it caused more than several sleepless nights for her parents. Lasy year she went into her father's work and managed to set up a presentation to all of Roger's collegues, without his knowledge, about some charity. She raised $600 in an hour and bought herself a shiny new bike (she refuses to ever get her license, cars cause pollution which is killing the environment and she refuses to be a part of that). Roger was far too embarrassed to tell his friends that they'd been swindled.
The day she received her Hogwarts letter was the first day she'd ever felt really special. The spell broke when she saw just how many other students were 'unique' as well.
She is in the dark when it comes to her own sexuality. Sunny recognises that boys do not interest her, but she hasn't actually put two and two together and realised that if boys don't interest her, girls must. Which shows you just how ridiculously stupid she can be. She might actually need someone to tell her she's gay, because thus far, she is in the dark. There has been girl crushes in the past, sure, but love has always been far from her mind, she's never analysed her feelings when it comes to that stuff.
Personality: While Virgo Slytherins might not be the most outgoing of their class, they are often among the most wise, and their canny observation and lightning-fast analysis of any given situation will take them far. Hidden lies the mind of a big dreamer, who has both the imagination to come up with a concept and the power to follow it through. These Slytherins are an interesting mix of politeness and politics, pragmatism and intuition. They make good alchemists, Ministry bureaucrats (well, somebody's got to do it), and academic advisors. They are often underestimated. This is most unwise.
Hell only knows where Sunny's parents got her name from, but it certainly has nothing to do with her disposition. Sullen isn't quite the right word to describe her, but it's close. It's not that she has no humour, she's fully capable of having fun, she just hasn't met anyone yet that entertains her in a personal way. Watching people make an ass out of themselves is always good value though, as is watching the very worst of human nature. There's a satisfaction to it, a feeling as if she's being proven right that the world is such a craphole. She doesn't want to world to be this way, but she says constanlty that she's accepted it as thus. She constantly waxes lyrical about random causes (animal cruelty, pollution, domestic abuse) just to remind you of how shitty the world is. It's up to you whether you let her get you down or you just ignore it and try to get her to lighten up.
Sunny is a cynical person and always believes the worst in people and their motives, although she is surprisingly tolerable. She looks and acts like the school loner but is remarkably good at getting along with almost anyone, provided they're not scared off by her dim outlook to life.
She's also a realist and while she has dreams and ambitions (she wants to own and run the sleaziest nightclub in London and oooh, taming a dragon would be uber cool), she knows the chances are small that they'll succeed.
An ever ready opportunist, Sunny is always on hand to make bets with other students. If anything, she's known for her money making schemes and last year she ran an underground wizarding snap tournament at the school (for the students), turning in quite an impressive profit for someone her age. This year she wants to do the same but it is proving quite difficult with all the extra rules and protection the castle has taken on. There's no particular reason she wants money either, she just likes earning it through her own means.
When it comes to her studies, she's not particularly invested. Sunny is not the most academically intelligent student and this can be seen in her OWL scores (she studied her ass off and only got 6 passes).
Her positive traits include an attention to detail, imagination, realism, practicality, skepticism and organizational skills; negative traits are anal-retentiveness, anxiety, greed, insecurity, and obsessiveness.
Physical Description: Sunny is fairly short, only reaching 5'2", which she considers most unjust because she used to be the tallest in her class when she first started school. She had a thin build though often complains of having a fat head. She has pretty hazel eyes, not that she considers them pretty. She's more annoyed that they didn't turn out proper like a normal person's. They're green on the outer part of the iris but there's a ring of brown around the pupil. She has straight hair just past her shoulders which she does very little to care for.
Sunny seems to catch a cold from the slightest breeze, so you'll often see her in the Hospital Wing slurping on Pepperup Potion. If she's not doing that, you'll find her walking around with tissues tucked up her nose (she'll tell you there are far more important things in the world to be concerned over than appearance).
Preferred Body Model: Alexis Dziena
Future Body Model: None as yet
Likes - at least 15: Smoking, reading the dire warning on cigarette packets, watching the worst come out in people when they compete, earning money, dragons, soft lips, sudoku, drawing, cooking, operas, Pepperup Potion, Greek yogurt, mathematics, architecture, hail storms, walking or riding her bike.
Dislikes - at least 15: Parties, drunk people, having her photo taken, desk jobs, sweating, handbags, getting sick all of the time, the beach, organised religion, dentists, conforming to the public perception of beauty (read: she just can't be bothered with make up), spicy breath mints, sports, public transport, eating breakfast.
Pet/Pet Name: I think she'd totally have a toad named Smitty, although he does not have long to live.
Broom: Flying is for people who have something to prove.
Wand: 14 inches, Elder Wood, Abraxan wing feather
OWL scores:

Alignment: Neutral. I know that's weird because she's muggleborn but in all honestly she wouldn't care at all about the war. I mean, she wouldn't want to be killed because of her blood but she's probably seen some amazing purebloods in her house and she may have the impression that the elitists are right, muggleborns are nothing compared to the purebloods.
