Biography: Aradale Strongheart is the youngest is her family. Her and her older sisters, Kathryn and Katrina, haven’t seen their parents in 10 years and since Aradale is only just 11 she doesn’t remember them at all. Kathryn is only two years older than Ara. Katrina is 5 years older than Kathryn, making her only 18 and she is the adult of the house now. In the first years after Ara’s parents left the sisters were left to live at their neighbors. So Aradale learnt to get on with different people really well, as the neighbors were a foster home. Aradale become a bright young girl in school. Nearly everyone loved to be with her, however even she had her bullies. They soon stopped when they learnt the hard way that Katrina and Kathryn were very protective sisters. This is still important to note to this day.  As Aradale hit the age 9 she started to show signs of magical skills. She could lift things without touching them at first and then move them across the room. Neither one of her sister showed any of these skills and decided that she wasn’t as normal as she once seemed.  Katrina was just 16 when she got a job to help support her sisters and at her work a local witch introduced herself and spoke to Katrina about her sister. The local witch was invited over to the house to meet Aradale. She was then told that she was a witch as well and should seek help with her magic at a school. When asked about her parents,the witch was surprised about the disappearance and then never spoke about it again.
The local witch never gave her name and was always referred to as ‘Ms’, and she continued to visit ever since. Aradale is now looking into magical schooling and is willing to help anyone along the way.

Hi, Aradale! Welcome to Salem!

Before we can accept your application, I'm going to have to ask you to repost it with an account with your character's name as the username.

Additionally, if Aradale is from New Zealand, what made her decide on Salem over a European school of magic? I'd like to hear more about this aspect of her life. Details are great!

'Ms' was called in the next morning. She and Arakhan spoke for a while and Ara was asked question after question. It was then that she found out she had a small gift in Divination. 'Ms' said if it was a vision, Salem will hold what Arakhan seeked. Only if she believed it would.
Arakhan spoke, "Then I will apply"




Better?

[Esme Vartan]

Hi Ara! Welcome to the site.

Your application looks great, but I have just one question - could you expand upon Ara's gift in Divination? Above-average magical abilities are considered special powers in our universe and require administrator permission.

Thanks!

Nearly everyone loved to be with her, however even she had her bullies. They soon stopped when they learnt the hard way that Katrina and Kathryn were very protective sisters. This is still important to note to this day. While still young Arakhan had attacks of nightmares for week on end. At theses points in time only her sister knew about them. Her could sleep in these weeks as she dreamed of Car crashes and Shootings that all came true. She was afraid to sleep at all. However, when her school work standard started to lower and teachers became worried, the sisters all worked together fight the dreams. Arakhan learned that if she mediated only really bad nightmare would happen. From then onwards she mediated each and every night. As Ara hit the age 9 she started to show signs of magical skills. She could lift things without touching them at first and then move them across the room. Neither one of her sister showed any of these skills and decided that she wasn’t as normal as she once seemed.  Katrina was just 16 when she got a job to help support her sisters and at her work a local witch introduced herself and spoke to Katrina about her sister.

Arakhan then woke screaming and her sisters wasted no time getting into her room, to comfort her.
'Ms' was called in the next morning. She and Arakhan spoke for a while and Ara was asked question after question. It was then that she found out she had a small gift in Divination, and this gift had been around for a while. Her nightmares from years before were visions of people in the areas 'futures', as the future changes not all Nighmare would come true. 'Ms' said if it was a vision, Salem will hold what Arakhan seeked. Only if she believed it would.
Arakhan spoke, "Then I will apply"

[J.Q. Winchester]

Hello Arakhan, and welcome to the site!

Thank you for your patience throughout this process - we just want to make sure we get your character right and that she'll fit in easily into the site plots and plans.

If Arakhan has visions of the future - regardless of whether they always come true or not - would be considered a Special Power (high Divination levels). But no worries! You can apply for that by filling out the request form here and PMing it to one of the Administrators here, and they'll get back to you on it.

In the meantime, if you remove all reference to your special power from your bio and repost it as a reply here, we can approve you in a jiffy and get you started at Salem.

As always, please PM if you have any further questions or concerns! We look forward to hearing from you.

Yours,

J.Q. Winchester
