Okay, I edited it again. I think there is no powerplay anymore. I also slightly changed the father's backstory. I really hope this time everything is correct.

Hi Isabelle! Or should I call you Miss Valentine?

Thank you for your constructive criticism. I've reread the specifics of the Time Warp and realised that my character Elsa Baudelaire isn't fit for this universe, so I've basically created a new character. Hope I've got it right this time.

Several things to clarify:

1. Having read more carefully the premise of the Warp, I now realise my character Elsa Baudelaire is not applicable to this universe. Therefore, I have completely altered her background and personality. I would like, if possible, to also change her name to Lana Lancaster.

2. About the Hospital Wing, I just assumed since we're dealing with WWII, Hogwarts might be volunteering to help wounded wizard soldiers. Anyway, it's just a suggestion, so I'll change my sample RP too.

Biography:
Lana Lancaster was born in Littlehampton, West Sussex, to muggle parents Harold and Maude Lancaster. Her father was a parish council member and her mother was the headmistress of an elite high school. Her father had a distant cousin - Miss Chiltern, who was a witch and a good friend of his, so he was familiar with the magical world. That is why, after the Time Warp, Lana didn’t get the same treatment as the rest of the muggleborn children. She was sent off to live with Miss Chiltern, who was also the headmistress of an orphanage for muggleborns. The orphanage was famous for being more tolerant than other facilities of the sort. Although she wasn't forced to wear a blood status badge like the rest of the children, Lana quickly became friends with them and sympathized with them. It all changed after Miss Chiltern’s untimely death. A new headmaster was assigned and Lana lost her privileges. She was forced to wear a blood status badge, just like everyone else, and was subject to severe segregation.
Things started looking slightly better for her when she was enrolled in Hogwarts. She met fellow sympathizers and became a member of FEW. One of her regular activities is to visit orphanages, making sure that muggleborn children aren’t neglected or abused. Since the beginning of WWII, she’s been volunteering in St. Mungo’s, taking care of wounded soldiers. 
Lana is a bright student and a promising witch. She excels in performing charms and is quite good at making potions. Her one weakness is divination – she can’t wrap her head around it and remains suspicious about its effectiveness. Lana is also a reporter for the school newspaper. She writes mainly about WWII and the FEW movement. She also writes short stories for children but reads them only to children in orphanages. She aspires to become a war correspondent or an accomplished novelist.

Note: This section is optional, and is up to you to complete.

House Request:
Gryffindor or Hufflepuff
Personality:
Despite her unfortunate situation, Lana has always been a cheerful and friendly person. She is very compassionate and cares deeply for the lives of others. She can be very stubborn and gets really upset when she fails to get her own way. She loves reading, especially history books. She hates routine and needs to be on the move all the time. She prefers the company of boys, since she's been picked on by other girls about her boyish appearance. However, she tends to be quite awkward around boys she fancies. Her natural clumsiness doesn't help much, either.
Appearance:
Lana has a fair skin, grey eyes and black, shoulder-lenght hair. She is of average height and quite skinny. When she was younger, she had short hair and was often confused for a boy because of her lack of curves. It wasn't before third year that she decided to grow her hair out long and start dressing more feminine. Lana bears a striking resemblance to actress Millie Perkins.

Option 2
Lana turned around and recognised a familiar face. It was Astrid, her fellow reporter for The Spellbound. "Hey, Astrid, how's it going?", she said cheerfully. "You're doing the food column again this week, aren't you? Well, let me take a moment to think about it." She gazed at the empty corridor, trying to remember the last time she ate frog legs. Astrid's quill was jumping impatiently forward and backward, waiting for an answer.
"Right, well, I think they're OK. Initially I was pretty grossed out by the idea of eating frog parts, but they actually don't taste that differently from, say, chicken. I think most people haven't even tried frog legs and are biased against them." As the quill was writing down her thoughts, Lana was tempted to peek into Astrid's parchment but she knew it wasn't polite. "Is that quill of yours still misquoting people? You should try to dip it into Veritaserum", Lana said jokingly. "Anyway, it was nice talking to you. Good luck with your article!"
The two girls parted ways and Lana rushed off to class.
