Well... Here is mine! ~~~ Name: Avice Black Age: 13 Appearance: [img]http://40.media.tumblr.com/9bdb736ed5c5e2a6bca83a45530d7f6d/tumblr_n29v3eRqgX1sgijroo1_500.jpg[/img] House: Wand: Personality: The young tween is difficult to surmise. At a first meeting it is clear that the girl is outgoing and prone to silliness and vanity. She has a dreamer's eyes and speaks in a soft whispery voice. She is easily distracted. She is disorganized. She can not manage her time or attention well. She falls behind in classes and is late due to poor time management. He grades do not reflect her intellectual potential, she consistently beats older peers at wizard's chess and other strategy games, but, her lack of focus is her academic downfall. Avice is very active and playful. She can’t sit still or stay quiet. She enjoys games of all kinds, from wizards chess to quidditch. She also loves stories, which is likely originated from growing up around the infamous Black family bragging. Her parents told their children stories of famous ancestors and important wizards in their bloodline, they also boasted often to their social circles about family accomplishments, they gossiped, they slandered, they preached the evils of muggles and blood-traitors. She herself is a storyteller but a terrible one. She twists her tongue and her tale too often. She might forget important details, causing wide plot holes and dropped punchlines. She will often change the story just to make it more interesting, or will re-tell it differently for different audiences. In her mind the effect of the story is more important than the truth of it. The purpose of the story, in her immature mind, is for fun. Her third main activity is playing pranks and jokes on others. She loves to provoke reactions and does not seem to care if the reaction is positive or negative when she is planning her pranks. She is bright and agreeable when she is feeling jovial. However, Avice has difficulty managing her emotions. She has been called over dramatic, that she has a weak resole, that she is ungovernable, or undisciplined, or overly sensitive. When she becomes upset she completely falls apart. She ‘becomes difficult’ and she is prone to weeping, abandoning her responsibilities, yelling, and even violence. It is difficult to know what to expect from her, though, this shift in temperament is not instantaneous. The fits are usually triggered by an event such as a low grade on an important test, rejection from a peer, or loosing her wand, being punished by her parents, embarrassed, etc. Again, not in an instant, the cycle between high and low tends to turn every few days. She is afraid of the dark. She practically worships her older brother Sorin. When she is ‘in one of her moods’ Sorin is the only one who can calm her down. He, however, being older and much more mature does not relate to Avice personally. He is often annoyed with her antics. Bio: Avice grew up in a wealthy pureblood house. As a Black she was raised to be proud, conduct herself with proper etiquette, and have a certain set of values. She is the younger of two, her older brother Sorin is her her hero. She is a thorn in his side. Before Sorin started school he was very protective of Avice. Their father had a temper that could get out of hand. Sorin would often take the blame for Avice’s antics purposefully. She did not always escape the temper, but, Sorin usually could manage to get the worst of it for himself. After he began schooling Sorin became more concerned with his studies, his friends, and his own advancement. He began to agree with the other adults that Avice was too sensitive. Avice did not stop seeing her brother as her hero despite the change in his regard for her. Sorin was groomed with great expectations begin the oldest and only boy to carry on the family name. He was given much and disciplined harshly when he took it for granted. They still punished their daughter but with relatively softer hand. There was also a difference of intention. Sorin was was given favor or punishment in order to shape him. Avice was given favor or punishment to deal with her in the moment. The parents seem to be relying on time and maturity to sand down her rough edges. They already took care of the most important aspect of her life, the expectation that she marry a pureblood and create more purebloods: They arranged her marriage at an early age with another strong pure blooded family. She is engaged to Cennétig Diarmuid Royceston Bana. They have met a few times in supervised visits before they began attending Hogwarts together. Her occasional playmates growing up were her first cousins, ‘the twins’, Isaac and Chandler Prewett. Whenever the cousins visited one another Avice was so overwhelmingly happy to have people her own age to play with, her antics often got out of control. She loved the twins, and loved playing pranks on the rest of the family. She did not like getting caught... And would collapse into tears whenever punishment was about to be dealt. Her first year at Hogwarts was a bit tumultuous. She was excited and elated to be learning, making friends, learning magic… It was also the first time she had real responsibilities. A lot was taken care of for her growing up in the wealthy and sheltered Black household. She never learned to be organized nor was expected to be efficient on her own. She brought a lot of energy into school, but, it quickly unfurled into a mess of parchments and missed classes. With scoldings and detentions to redirect the girl, it took the whole year to catch up to her classmates. She earned herself a reputation her first year for her poor performance. The summer after her first year was very rough. Her parents came down on her hard. It was one thing to be a mess around the house, it was another to embarrass and shame the family name at school. Her second year began more solemnly than the first. The punishment and tutoring of the summer was still fresh in her mind. She joined the quidditch team. She is a talented on a broom, small, and fast. She was assigned to be the second-string seeker for her house team. (She is hoping that this year she will be the seeker-proper, as the seeker last year graduated.) She felt better after making the team, and was still tardy and disorganized but not nearly to the extent she was in her first year. Her grades were still sub-par, but her talents began to bloom. Plotting: Avice might be well liked until they see her 'in one of her moods', the opinion may change. She is also engaged, which, will effect any romantic type interactions or discussions. She is a pureblood from a pureblood family. She is prejudiced against muggles, half-bloods, etc. Family: House of Black: Karoul Black: Father. They say that Avice is like her father in that they are both more impulsive and emotional. Her father has a temper that can get out of hand. He can contain it while around strangers and acquaintances, but in the home he is like a bomb. Helyssent Black: Mother. They say that Sorin is more like his mother. A bit Solemn and focused. She is busy. Talented with hexes and charms, she also entertains and enjoys a wide social circle of other pureblood witches and wizards. Sorin Black: Like his mother a bit more steady and serious than Avice and Karoul. He has a knack for dueling. Corvus Black: Her grandfathers brother. Headmaster at Hogwarts. Chandler and Issac: First cousins. They have a mutual grandfather.
