Biography:
   Caitriona believed herself to be happy as a small child, running around and playing with other kids her age just as any other kid did. She had two loving parents, an uncle who always stayed close and guided her when she needed it, and a younger brother who seemed to envy her on most days, though she never understood why. They lived in a small home on Boghall Road in Bray, Ireland. Caitriona, or as her mother used to call her, Cait, loved their home and how tidy and close knit it was. She loved the air of the sea every morning before school. She loved the pushing and shoving of children as they ran up the block. She loved all of it.
   She was a carefree and noisy little girl. Once, when Cait was quite young, perhaps around eleven years old, she was running to school, her brother had let her sleep through breakfast and so she was going to be late. Wearing her school uniform as she ran through small puddles of water and ignoring her hair flying across her face, she ignored everything, too set on getting to school before the bell rang. She was so dedicated to getting there on time that she didn’t even notice the car pull up behind her, or the man that slid the door open. She didn’t notice the arm around her waist until it was too late, and she was scooped into the moving vehicle. Some several panicked minutes later, the car flipped in the middle of the street, nothing hit them, they didn't hit the breaks and no force of wind could have done such a thing to a car. Yet there it lay, on its side, with Caitriona suspended in the air, her clothes half torn off. Her uncle tore the door open and pulled his precious niece out, cooing at her the whole time.   
   Caitriona didn’t cry that day, nor would she ever cry again. She secluded herself, refused to go to Hogwarts when it was discovered that she was the one that flipped the car and never made another new friend again.
   Just shortly before applying to Hogwarts for the final year of her lessons, for her uncle, a former professor there, taught her all he could, Caitriona suffered a deep loss. One night, a group of muggles attacked her home and killed her parents who were trying so hard to protect their little girl. Her brother wasn’t home, thank the stars, but her uncle and her were. They did what they could to fend off from the intruders, but were dumbfounded when brawn beat brains and a bullet was in Caitriona’s shoulder. After the funeral for her parents, Caitriona decided it was finally time to go to Hogwarts. Her parents would have wanted her to.



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

House Request: Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw

Personality: Caitriona used to be noisy but overall sweet. Now she is cold and keeps to herself.

Appearance: Her hair is so blonde it is nearly white and her eyes are as brown as the earth beneath her feet, but when the light hits them, they become a deep amber. Her skin is pale and she is not all that tall, perhaps, once she finished growing, she is about 5 feet three inches.

→ SAMPLE ROLEPLAY.
Please reply to one of the Sample Roleplays below.

Watching with fascination as a young boy ran into some flowers, diving down as if trying to catch something, Caitriona couldn't help but giggle. He looked so silly rolling around in the flowers and she moved a bit closer to see what he was after, though, seeing nothing, she shook her head and went to move on when suddenly the boy was talking to her. She looked up at him, some snot was dripping down his nose and his hair was disheveled. He sloppily wiped his nose on his sleeve and Caitriona stifled another giggle. "I was just curious as to what you were looking for." She looked around, "But I was beginning to wonder if you might be crazy and was simply chasing from your imagination." Caitriona giggled again and retrieved a tissue from her pocket, "Here. This is better for your skin than your robes. I hope you find whatever you were looking for." She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and turned to leave when a small rodent dove under her foot and she nearly stepped on it, "Oh! My stars!" She stumbled backwards and cursed the rodent as it took off in the other direction. She glanced up at the boy one final time and hurried away with her head down.

I was googling Harry Potter roleplay sites and BAM! There you were. In the background there was "Hello! Is it me you're looking for?"
Nevertheless, she            persisted.

Hi Caitriona, and welcome to the site!

Your application's looking great, there's just a couple of things we'd like you to edit before we can get you accepted.

Firstly, in accordance with our site rating, abuse of minors is not permitted. Your biography borders infringement of this rule:

Quote
Yet there it lay, on its side, with Caitriona suspended in the air, her clothes half torn off.

If you could remove this bolded phrase from your biography in order to be less explicit, that would be great.

Secondly, in your RP sample, you describe Hugh's rat's actions (running under her foot, etc.) If this was a real thread, that might be considered powerplay of another character/character's pet. If you could alter this -- perhaps you could have Caitriona seeing the rat and moving backwards instead, rather than controlling its actions entirely -- this would avoid the problem of potential powerplay.

At the end of your RP sample, you also have Caitriona leave the scene. Again, if this was a real thread, that leaves very little room for further interaction between Hugh and Caitriona. Could you change this to have Caitriona stick around instead? This would leave the post more open-ended for the other character to reply.

Once you've made the required changes, please post your entire revised application below, and we'll be more than happy to take another look. Thanks!
do you remember the twenty-first night of september?
love was changing the minds of pretenders while chasing the clouds away
our hearts were ringing in the key that our souls were singing
as we danced in the night, remember how the stars stole the night away
