If you are applying to be a fourth year or above, your biography must be at least three hundred words long.Destimonia was from the highly respected pureblood family of Blackthorn . She was the youngest out of four siblings ( one brother and two sisters who were all much older than she was). Growing up she had the pressure of being perfect and bringing honor to her family's name. However she was a rebel, she never did as she was told. She was quite frankly the black sheep of her family. All of her siblings were perfect in everything: tests, the way they acted, how they brought such pride to her mother and father and how they carried the name of their family. As Destimonia grew older her parents grew more harsh towards her since she was never up to their very high standards. Arguments were frequent. After almost every family or social event she would have long lectures about how a lady is to behave. As she was nearing the age of attending a wizarding school, her parents had decided for her and she had no choice nor say in where she wanted to go to school. She was sent to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. She tried to protest but it didn't work.
The first few days of Beauxbatons were too much for her. Not only did she have normal academic classes but her mother and father, without her knowledge, enrolled her in a Decorum class to try and teach her how to be a lady in society. She tried to make friends but didn't fit in with anyone, they all shunned her for being unlady-like, clumsy and generally not the same as everyone else who was enrolled in the school. Teachers would constantly comment on how different she was compared to her brother and sisters. She would get in trouble alot, get detentions and howlers from her parents. She was miserable. But there was one beacon of hope. Her aunt.
Her aunt was very like her when she was younger. The same rebellious spirit along with the trouble that came with it. She would often write to her aunt complaining about most things: how unfair her parents were to her, the amount of detentions, her classes and mainly everything that was bothering her. As her first year of Beauxbatons came to an end, her parents wanted her to go home. However, she didn't want to go back. She would only hear how much of a disgrace she was to the ‘regal family name of Blackthorn’. Her solution to that was to write to her aunt asking if she could stay with her for the summer. So she packed her bags to leave.
That summer her aunt's house was now her home. Destimonia did what she pleased, which was a luxury, knowing that she wouldn't be told off for eating salad with the wrong fork. But eventually a problem came into view. She had to go back to school in a couple of weeks. She begged and pleaded with her auntie not to send her back. Destiomionia stated that she'd rather not learn magic at all than go back to Beauxbatons. Her aunt didn't send her back, instead she found a place at Hogwarts. Where she hopes she will find a home.
Her mother and father were enraged to say the very least. The howlers came for weeks giving her the usual lecture but this time with more spite and more bitterness than ever. But she ignored the taunting and yelling from her so-called ‘family’, and accepted her Hogwarts letter with courage and her head held high not caring what her stuck up family thinks of her anymore.

→ 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.

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 significant prior relationship between your character and the RP sample character, assuming any information about them that isn't explicitly detailed in the sample above, or powerplaying Hugh's pet rat. 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. "who's Emma Birch? I'm Dessy."
Dessy too walked around the dungeon. She was exploring, checking out the castle even though it was past curfew and prefects where lurking around every corner waiting to catch someone out of bed.
"its so dark down here I can hardly see a thing," she whipped out her wand and called out "lomus"
A bright flash of light illuminated the darkness around her making the stone walls and empty cellars visible. She ran her hands over the bumpy walls, the echoes of her footsteps even gave her a small fright. A realisation came to her, this was the same place she had potions, one of the lessons she fell in asleep an awful lot.
Dessy heard a voice, She listened really closely. She noticed she new the voice
"Oi Evangline! What are you doing down here?"
