Percy is one of the youngest children of Jonathan Harman and Edith (Spellbody) Harman. The other is his twin sister Penny. While Percy is more the adventurous type Penny is usually the kind who will follow along on his ideas of adventures. Percy is brave much like his older sister Esmerelda and will do anything for his friends and is never afraid to face an adventure. Percy thinks his new cousin Cordelia is fun and likes to visit her and let her read them stories.  He likes to pretend to be the knights in the stories and dreams of having adventures much like them.

Roleplay:
Reply as your character to the following:

Godric Park.

Overhead, the sky was a crisp blue, for once clear of the ever-pervasive spongy clouds and rain. The sun was a lemony-yellow presence, high in the Eastern sky, and in front of it zipped three broomsticks in a straight line, or something very like one. One... two..... three... the boys passed, their shouts of excitement echoing as they chased the snitch, a tiny shimmer reflecting the sunlight.

Far below was another, much smaller broomstick.

It trugged along the ground, hugging close to it like a sluggish choo choo train and occasionally shuttering in protest. This was because said stick was currently being occupied by a very small girl who was tugging upward on the front of it with all her might, trying to coax it into doing what it had been expressly designed NOT to do.

"John, I said wait up!" The tiny girl squealed, giving the broomstick another tug.

Begrudgingly, it drifted upward a foot, and then sank, depositing the troublesome girl safely on the ground. Janey Hurst was not pleased. In a huff, she hopped off the toy safety broom, grabbing it firmly and thrusting it handle first into the turf.

Her brother was such a beast. He NEVER let her play! She folded her arms, seething blue eyes fixing on another figure nearby.  "You!" She barked, much more sharply than she meant to.

"...Do you want to play?"

Roleplay Response:

Percy watched in amazement as the brooms flew up high above. The older kids seemed to be able to fly the brooms so effortlessly, but Percy wasn't so sure about trusting a household cleaning device to lift him up into the air. Percy was usually brave when it came to most things, but heights were not one of them. Give Percy an adventure with his feet firmly planted on the ground and he was all for it.

Honestly, he'd even brave the seas as he was an excellent swimmer, but flying just didn't appeal to the young boy. He was soon shaken from his musings by a young girl's voice asking him to play. He instinctively looked around for his twin Penny. He didn't see her nearby. No doubt she was somewhere finding flowers or rocks for her collections. "Um sure. What do you want to play?" he said while extending a hand, "My name is Percy, and I am a knight!" he said with a mischievous smile.


Please read the below note before writing your response:

When responding to the RP sample, please do not powerplay the other character in any way. This includes assuming a prior relationship between your character and the RP sample character or assuming any information about them that isn't explicitly detailed in the sample above. If in doubt about whether something constitutes powerplay, err on the side of caution and write something else!

Please also treat this sample as you would treat a real thread and leave your response open-ended to ensure the other character has a chance to respond. This means that your character should not walk away from or otherwise end the interaction in your response.
