Biography: Crystal Rees was born in the Netherlands to a pair of American muggles and has lived there for the majority of her lifetime. After Operation Trikora took place in which Indonesian forces attempted to annex a part of Netherlands, her family was split apart by the warfare and she fled with her mother to England while her father stayed behind to fight in the war. She hasn't heard of him since and holds a sincere loathing for him believing him to have abandoned their family since the war is now over. Crystal's first instance of magic is attributed to when she had a falling out with her mother over their father's disappearance and she made several lightbulbs flicker. As a result, most of her Muggle friends around her including her mother thought she was possessed and avoided her going as far as to put her in a religous school especially after the owls started arriving. At home, Crystal is usually confined to the house under lock and key as her Muggle family can not wrap their heads around the thought of her being able to do what she does and while her mother cares for her needs, she does not allow her to go out in public and holds a severe loathing for witches and wizards and want's Crystal to let go of all that even though the redhead does not want to thinking she is incredbily lucky to have a skill only very few people get.

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

House Request: Slytherin

Personality:
Tell us a bit about your character’s personality (likes, dislikes, fears, etc.) What are they like on a good day versus a bad one? Is your character particularly cheerful? Do they hate sunlight? Crystal by nature is extremely curious and bubbling with questions. There is no bound and no limits she has to the point it can even become troubling. She partakes in pranks, amusing moments and being amused by other people's inconvenices though this may be because her life has been riddled with negative moments so seeing others enjoying themselves brings back unwanted memories and she tries to express that through her antics.

Appearance:
Briefly describe your character's appearance (hair color, build, stature, etc.) What effect does it have on their personality? For example, does the shy Ravenclaw girl secretly dye her hair black because she hates her natural blonde? Does the curly-haired Gryffindor use charms to hide his freckles? Crystal for her age is of a reasonable height with a shock of red hair. Her eyes are a vivid blue with fair skin and she takes great care in her appearance. When she talks, her voice can be best described as a high pitch keen to attract attention always looking to do something which in some cases can be troublesome.

→ SAMPLE ROLEPLAY.
You come across one of these posts on the site. Please select one & reply as your character. Remember, you can only roleplay your own character's actions, not Evangeline's or Hugh's.

Option I:

The dungeons. A place eleven-year-old Evangeline had not yet travelled since her arrival at Hogwarts.

A place she really was just fine with not knowing; but it was too late. The dare had been accepted, even if it had been done in fear of being kicked out of Gryffindor, like the older girls had said she would because Gryffindors were supposed to be brave.

The air changed instantly when she hit the main corridor of the dungeons. The dampness was almost too much for her and she instinctively took a deep breath to avoid the sensation of being suffocated. There was also a sour burning smell which Evangeline assumed was from many, many Potions lessons.

Further and further she walked, her steps so slow and gentle they made no noise against the stone walls and floor. The feeling that she wasn't alone crept up her spine and raised the tiny hair on the back of her neck. Shivering, Evangeline wrapped her arms around herself. Suddenly, she missed the warmth and comfort of the Gryffindor common room. The fire was always going and it made her feel at ease.

Why had she let those girls talk her into this? She was only eleven, she didn't have to be brave. Surely the Headmistress would not kick her out of Hogwarts for not being brave.

If only she had these thoughts while being dared to search for the ghost of one Emma Birch, whom supposedly haunted the dungeons. It was not, Evangeline had learned, the place where the sixteen-year-old girl's life had ended but as she had been from the house with a snake as its mascot, it was the place her spirit had returned to. That common room was down here somewhere, she'd been told.

Something - the small blonde girl wasn't quite sure what - but something made her stop in her tracks suddenly. There was a low, dull thumping noise. Or maybe that was her heart beating so loudly she thought it was coming from outside her body.

"H-h-hello?" Her voice was barely above a whisper.

Remembering that she was supposed to be brave, Evangeline tried again.

"Hello! Is Emma Birch here?"

The sound of her own words bouncing back at her off the walls made her jump.

Option 2:

That rat of his was in for it now.

The gray little rascal had disappeared from his clutches at breakfast. Again.

Before Hugh even knew what was happening, Merlin had shot across the floor, somehow managing to avoid all the feet walking across the hall and had escaped through the open doors.

Which meant that Hugh was now stomping through rows of flowers and other various flora, searching for the small creature. It was like the rat knew Hugh was allergic to most flowers. Merlin always chose to run to the gardens whenever he got away from Hugh. It was as if the rat did not want to have him for an owner.

Hugh had named his pet Merlin because he had hoped the powerful name would give the rat more incentive to be more than a rat. Not that he expected Merlin to change into a wizard or anything, but rats were just so...useless, for the most part. With a name like Merlin, Hugh thought it might give the rat purpose.

The only purpose Merlin seemed to have was getting away from Hugh as often as possible.

As the fifth year trudged into the second row of flowers, not taking much care to avoid trampling the first row, he felt the first sneeze building up pressure in his nose and behind his eyes.

"You blasted rat! Where are you?"

He pulled apart a section of bright red flowers; he didn't know what they were called because he despised flowers, and ducked his head low to peer into the depths of the flowerbed. It was moving closer in proximity to the flowers that finally did it. Hugh took in three great breaths and then let out an almighty sneeze. It was strong enough to disturb some of the dirt on the ground before him.

Groaning, he stood up again and wiped his nose on his sleeve. It was as he was turning his head, his nose running up and down his arm, that movement in his peripheral vision caught his attention. Normally one who preferred to put his best face forward, Hugh was a bit embarrassed to be caught wiping his runny nose on his robes.

Nevertheless, Hugh put on his best haughty voice. albeit a bit thickly with his plugged nose and said, "Can I help you with something? It is not polite to stare."

Reply:"It's also not polite to go around destroying all these flowers and bushes, you messed up my canvas."

Crystal said pouting at the boy setting down her brushes and parchment folding her arms as she stared right back with her best offended expression at the sheer audcaity of this boy. After all, it wasn't her fault his stupid rat had scampered off from what she had gathered.

"You missed a spot by the way." The redhead said pointing to his nose as her eyes flicked from him to where he had been searching for his supposed pet more irritated at the fact that he had been the one to accost her.

Technically, she hadn't even been staring but clearly, it was beyond this boy's comprehension too concerned with a silly little animal that he couldn't even take care of.

"Don't reckon you'll find him in there though, rats prefer elevated areas and..filth." She added the last word as an afterthough pausing on it to glance at him raising an eyebrow before shrugging her shoulders.

All she had wanted was some peace and quiet but apparently, this cursed place couldn't even provide her with that.

"Now please, if you're done with your little scavenger hunt or whatever you call this, I have to finish this."
