He is quite a confident person, but doesn't go out of his way to get to know people. He likes people well enough, but he sees it that if you're worth knowing, he'll get to know you. If not, you're not worth his time. He's often referred to as "that cute English kid" which can be somewhat mortifying when you're about to start a new school and would rather be cool than cute, but he'd rather have the company of a good book or sit quietly with his own thoughts, than put on a show for people. He's protective of his big sister, Artemis, and is one of the few people who understand her. He was the one who used to tell the other kids to take a hike, even though he was a lot younger than her. It didn't help much, but he would do anything to make her happy. He also knows about her "imaginary" friend. He has a English accent, but not the one his American classmates seem to expect him to have when he told them he was English, as well as from Nottingham, which is where Robin Hood is based. He's certainly not got the "Kevin Costner" twang, but that's because Kevin Costner is American, not English (as he has told more than one person). He doesn't sound like Alan Rickman either, because Alan Rickman speaks like a posh Londoner, which is nowhere near where he lives. "That's like me saying you don't sound like your American because you're not from the South of America and have a country accent." He doesn't say class which sounds like "cla-arse" but like cla-ass, which confuses those who have never met an ordinary kid from the midlands, let alone heard their accent. He is cheeky, and somewhat sarcastic with people he sees are below good intelligence, mostly because he can't understand why they seem to think they're clever or have the right to tell him anything. Unfortunately this can get him into quite a bit of trouble, as he forgets he’s actually a short kid with a clever mouth, but not much of a fighter. He can have a short temper, but it's more frustration than anything else that gets him riled up.

Not being able to see his sister.[/indent] [color=7ea7d8]Biography:(At least two paragraphs)[/color] [indent]Artemis lives with with Aunt and brother in the UK. Their parents passed away, so they were sent to live with their aunt, their mother's younger sister, or rather she was sent to live with them. She's a bit batty, and very indulgent of the children, more like a big sister or cousin, than as Aunt. Her name is Millie. Millie was always a little ditsy, which is why it was a rather large shock that they were left to her care, mostly to the rest of the family. Millie recieved the house in trust, until Artemis turned 18, where it would revert to her, and in trust for Aeron. It couldn't be sold until Aeron becomes 18. Mille had been living all over the place before that, having backpacked around the world, so it was hard for her to suddenly have the care of 2 children to think about, especially with them already being 9 and 7. It took a long time for them to really see Millie with any respect. They loved their aunt, for she always brought them cool things back from her travels or sent them pictures via Skype and email (Millie was a huge muggle fan, despite being a pure blood herself). Even though they liked her, they couldn't see her as a serious guardian, because she struggled to give them any disipline or to have any control over her own life, never mind them. However, Millie is quite plassid, so Aeron being very smart for his age and already able to annoy most adults with persistant questions and then correcting them whenever they were wrong didn't bother her, though it annoyed him considerably for some time. Artemis always found it funny watching him get mad as he tried to irritate their aunt, who would just smile and say "I'm sure you're right, dear." She could also beat him at Chess, which really riled him because she never seemed to be paying any attention, doing 10 other things at the same time. Millie was a sweet person, but smarter than she seemed to want to show, sometimes coming out with random facts which even surprised Aeron, who listened carefully and challenged everything. She'd often tell him that he must be right, but when he went to check, he'd find she had been right. Aeron also noticed that Artemis was getting picking on at school which annoyed him. He was quite a bit younger than her, but he tried to stick up for her where he could. Unfortunately this didn't seem to help much, only getting him in trouble and worrying her. He knew people were funny about her name, which he didn't understand because it was a good name, though he normally called her Arty. IT was a pet name her parents had given her when Aeron was little, because he couldn't say her full name. When Artemis got her letter for Salem, Millie was over joyed, but Artemis was beside herself and unconsoleable. Millie eventually persuaded her it was a wonderful opportunity. "You'll make wonderful new friends," he aunt had told her. "And Julian will be with you." Artemis has created Julian and her aunt and brother were the only ones who knew about him. Her aunt did say it was best none of them told anyone else, that it was a special secret. It was only when she got older that she understood her aunt didn't want people to think her crazy or to bully her more. So Artemis went away to school and wrote home a lot. Aeron always received his own letters and wrote back using the family's owl. He was relieved, and so was Artemis, when they found out he'd be joining her at Salem. It was unusual, but not unheard of, for students to go to students so far away from home, but families often went to the same school.

It was a bit of a shock to get her letter, but now her little brother will be attending, she feels somewhat relieved. Artemis is friendly but struggles to make the first move with people. she thinks she'll say the wrong thing, or trip over and embarrass herself. Her biggest worry is that people won't like her. She often tries too hard to make other people like her, or at least make them happy, which means that she can end up putting herself in trouble. She used to be picked on at her last school for her name, because it sounds like a boys name. It's hard to explain that Artemis was the goddess of the hunt when you're trying not to cry, and when she finally did tell people, they made more fun that she had not only a stupid name, but that she's supposed to be some great hunter. Because of this, she can struggle to show how smart she actually is. Not having many friends growing up, she used her time to read. She loves online RPG, and struggles to be herself with people face to face, in case they don't like what they see. If you get to know her, you'll find she's actually very smart, funny, and really sweet. She even has an imaginary friend called Julian, who was a character she created after a dream she had when she was young. She wrote it all down and submitted it to a short story competition at school. Since then, when she's on her own, her pretends he's with her. It also includes talking to herself,which caused people to give her funny looks, but since she's getting used to that. If anyone actually watched her closely, they could tell a lot about when she’s thinking by what she does with her hair. I.e. When she’s embarrassed but in a good way, she tugs a piece of her fringe down, sometimes even mumbling to herself, but when she's embarrassed and it's bad, she lets her hair down to hide behind like a curtain. When she’s thinking, she ties it up in a messily. She desperately believes in Karma and that if you're good, good things come to you. She's a hopeless romantic and optimist, hoping her life will turn out like a fairy tale, which is why she spends as much time reading stories as she does studying.

She could also beat him at Chess, which really riled him because she never seemed to be paying any attention, doing 10 other things at the same time. Millie was a sweet person, but couldn't really help Artemis, other than to tell her to ignore the kids who picked on her. "You have a beautiful name," she told her with a smile. "Now Mildred is an awful name. I used to get called Wind Mill Head and Mildew. You have a beautiful name, Arty." Arty was a pet name her parents had given her when Aeron was little, because he couldn't say her full name. When Artemis got her letter for Salem, Millie was over joyed, but Artemis was beside herself and unconsoleable. Millie eventually pursuaded her it was a wonderufl oppurtunity. "You'll make wonderful new friends," he aunt had told her. "And Julian will be with you." Artemis has created Julian and her aunt and brother were the only ones who knew about him. Her aunt did say it was best none of them told anyone else, that it was a special secret. It was only when she got older that she understood her aunt didn't want people to think her crazy or to bully her more. So Artemis went away to school and wrote home a lot. Still does. She met people, but no one she felt was very special. Her aunt asked about boys, which made her blush whenever she saw the words. She wished there was someone, like Julian, who would make her feel special. She said this to her aunt during their last holiday. "There's only one Julian," her aunt told her with a smile. "But if you keep relying on him, you may miss the chance to meet someone even better." So Artemis is returning to school in the hopes that maybe this year she might make some real friends. [/indent] [/color][/hider] [/quote] I am incredibly reluctant to allow Artemis to have an imaginary friend, however I will allow it as long as it is not over-done, over-dramatic, and you create a bullying situation that is not realistic and make it generally over the top. The personalities need work - there are too many positive personality traits than negative personality traits. In order to create a character, you need to give them a rough, negative personality to start with in order to have more character development throughout the plot. Or, at the very least, have a balance of positive and negative traits. Neither of your characters have this.
