Joy Detora Application

[Joy Detora]

Application for Hogwarts School

→ CHARACTER INFORMATION.
Name:Joy Detora

Birthday:January 2, 1930

Hometown:London

Bloodline:
 Halfblood

Magical Strength (pick one):
Transfiguration
Magical Weakness (pick one):
Divination

Year (pick two):First, Second

Biography:She is the only child of her parents, and they were delighted and doted on her. She nearly killed the fish by feeding it too much when she was three, then let the rabbit loose when she was 6.
At that same age, she began to show signs of magic. She suddenly made her hair stick up all over her head(which she didn't like) then turned her room purple(which she did). Her parents gave her a toy safety broom, and though it only hovered a foot above the ground, she hated it as soon as she crashed into the wall with it and got a concussion.
At a young age, she liked reading, and started to deliberate between if she wanted to go to Hogwarts or Beauxbatons. Later both dreams were destroyed when they moved to America at age 9.
She has been persuading her parents to move back so she could attend Hogwarts. She succeeded and that brings us to where she is now, in England, waiting for her damn letter at the age of 10(going on 11, as she constantly reminds people).

Option 2:

“Oh, come now!"

Astrid Bixby’s voice carried down the corridor, the tall blonde girl not far behind. Her interviewee – or victim, depending on perspective – turned a corner and she frowned. They were always so elusive when she needed them. Sure, they would talk as if there was no tomorrow during class, but once she actually needed them to say something, they were nowhere to be found. Gryffindors.

Flustered, Astrid stopped in the middle of the corridor and stared, her parchment hanging limply from her hand. She was a good reporter, really, and she always did her best to make sure that everything she wrote was accurate. She glanced down to the quill, eyeing it with disdain. It wasn’t her fault if her quill misquoted. How was she supposed to know? It made for interesting articles, at least, and if she had misquoted the Head Boy last term as saying he had a love for stuffed animals, then that gave him personality. Astrid sighed.

A pout formed on her lips as she turned away, discouraged. The corridor was mercifully empty, though the doors to The Spellbound – the school newspaper – were ominously closed. Corbridge was a mercifully sweet editor, but Astrid was terrified of disappointing her all the same. She had to come back with quotes.
Her eyes, blue, trailed her surroundings before choosing a new path, and she turned down a new corridor. A figure was ahead, and her eyes lit up, an impossibly rosy smile blossoming across her lips.

“Hey!” Astrid called, her voice light and singsong. She trotted to catch the person, her shoes clicking on the stone floor. “Wait up! It’s for the paper!” Her legs aided her admittedly poor running, and Astrid gasped as she came closer. “What do you think about serving frog legs at lunch? Some say it’s a delicacy, but others think it’s plain gross.”


Response: Joy walked down the hallway, head in the clouds, ready to go and sign up for Charms. Her many years of reading while walking down the stairs helped her to not crash into the walls. She heard the sound of someone trailing after her, and started to speed up.

If this was about something gross, she would sprint. Her worst dreams came true. Frog legs definitely counted as gross. Joy rolled her eyes, and true to her word, full-out sprinted towards the Charms classroom.

Unluckily, she remembered that she had taken a wrong turn. She sighed and after wrestling with herself, decided to swallow her pride. She turned around and went back to where she was, but had lost her bearings.

"Um... I kind of got lost. Could you help?" Right after she asked the question, she realized that Astrid might be a person that would bargain for her to answer the question, then point her to the Charms sign-ups. Well, she had to make the best of it.

Hello Joy!

Before your application can be accepted, there is only one minor detail that needs addressed.  You list Joy's birthday as being 02 January, 1930.  This would make her 10 at the start of term in September 1940, therefore she would not have received her letter at age 11.  Remember that your character must turn 11 before the start of term.

Once you make that one minor fix, we can take another look at the application!  Just repost your edited application below!

Can't wait to get you roleplaying with us!
