[character]: Juliet Capulet

[character abilities]: n/a
[character personality]: Juliet is sweet tempered and perhaps a bit naive, quick to emotion and sometimes over-sensitive. She feels a deep loyalty to and love for her kinsmen, but is conflicted by her equally strong love and loyalty to Romeo. She's a romantic, and exists outside of the long-standing violent feud between their two families. She's something of a dreamer, seeming in a way to live in her own world, devotedly religious and a believer in portents. Unlike Romeo, who's immersed in the feud despite himself, Juliet's only connection to it is when the feud is brought to her doorstep by Romeo's murder of Tybalt. Juliet feels and reacts to everything intensely, tending sometimes toward extremes -- a good example of this is her readiness to kill herself when she's backed into a corner by her parents' promise to marry her to Paris, when she's already married to Romeo.
A note on Juliet's age: in Shakespeare's original, Juliet is not quite 14. She's obviously older in the film, although her age is never stated outright, so I'm putting her age at 16 for the purposes of roleplaying (based on some hints made by other characters at her age).
[point in timeline you're picking your character from]: Juliet will come into the City after she's agreed to marry Romeo, but before the actual ceremony -- before the scene where her nurse brings her Romeo's message to meet him at Father Laurence's church.
