Biography: (300 words minimum.)
Born to Alric and Alice Devlin at two minutes past midnight on the 11th of October, Marilla Devlin is the younger twin of her sister Indigo Devlin. Marilla was named after one of her mother's favorite characters in the muggle novel series Anne of Green Gables,[/u] which would later become one of her favorites as well. Her mother dearly wanted something unique and level-headed to name her younger daughter, and that is how Marilla supposedly turned out. But she is a far cry from the coveted character she is named after.

An exceedingly bright scholar-at least when she deemed it necessary-Marilla has  a head filled with what she says is "common sense," but what others think is plain blasphemous. She's very observant and hides behind her books and hobbies to further her knowledge of the people around her, which ends up very beneficial in the long run. Marilla's an open enigma, coming off as whatever people like to think but wholly different from the first impression when you get to know her. Invisible to all but her loved ones, she uses this to her advantage in her pursuits. Very recently she graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry along with her twin sister Indigo Devlin.

At home in the present time, she pushes for her family to send her to muggle college for further studying, but is a little naive to the prejudice in her family with all that she would love to say she knows them well. A rather aloof girl until you rally against her passions, Marilla is now steadily learning that her spoiled nature hid her from reality.

Option One -
Amelia Nixon was many things, but she was never a pushover reporter that people could just usher away with a busy shuffle past. She was dedicated and eager to cut to the very middle of the current political tensions because she was Amelia Nixon and her articles would most certainly become front page material.

“Sir, please! It’s for the Prophet, how do you feel-“

Another one brushed passed her, the shuffling busy masses making their way through Diagon Alley for the lunchtime rush. This had been the best possible time to get people, but none of them were giving her anything to go with.

Only momentarily discouraged, the short red headed lady took a seat on a nearby bench. Her quill resting in her left hand and her notepad ready in the opposite hand. Amelia pouted, tapping the quill against her leg as she scanned the waves of people for somebody - anybody - who looked like they had something to say.

She had been dreaming of her name in bold print, Amelia Nixon: The Source of Today’s Tomorrow. She had been dreaming of the larger office and the secretaries that would fetch her the morning coffee and fetch her anything she needed. The VIP interviews and the most exclusive press passes. But all Amelia had was a page seventeen piece on the rising number of frogs in London.

Hardened by a day of no success, the reporter stood up and started to trod off down the alley. A loose stone on the cobble path caught her heel, sending the distraught girl toppling down to the ground.

“Merlin’s fog watch, my heel is broken! Help!” she yelled as she tried desperately to recover her shoe frantically in the middle of the Diagon Alley moving crowds.

Roleplay Response:
Marilla ambled down the cobblestone road of Diagon Alley, her nose stuck in a worn paperback book. It was by sheer luck and many a day's practice that the stern-looking girl  narrowly avoided person, magical creature, animal and flying object alike without once looking up from her intense reading.

Quite suddenly, the tip of her heeled sandal caught on something unexpected lying on the ground. She caught herself by placing the other foot forward hastily, looking back to scowl at the thing that had interrupted her reading en route to meet her sister at Gringotts'.

When she caught sight of the object she blinked in confusion, the scowl turning back into a stern, aloof face. 'A heel?' Marilla thought in confusion. Just as she was picking it up to get closer look at it, she heard a cry for help.

“Merlin’s fog watch, my heel is broken! Help!” 

'Oh I see..' Marilla thought, easily drifting through the crowd as if she was an apparition like The Grey Lady. Seeing a harried looking woman with red hair and a missing shoe furtively looking around at the ground, Marilla walked up behind her and tapped her shoulder.

"Excuse me, miss. You seem to have misplaced your shoe.." Marilla said, using her polite voice while tapping the woman on the back.
