Eyes[color/shape]: Oval shaped hazel eyes that she squints when she's trying to concentrate. Face Shape: Rounded though her chin juts out a little. She has high-cheekbones and a short nose. Hair[color/style/shape]: Taylor has dark brown hair that's naturally wavy. She keeps it that way for the most part and it reaches just at the small of her back. She likes to trim it herself so the ends are a bit uneven, and she has natural streaks from the sun. Personal Style: Taylor's a mix of everything. She loves her sundresses and sandals, but on the rainy days she likes a good pair of jeans a nice plain shirt with a jacket. Her favorite jackets are fancy with different stripes or colors and decorations. As far as shoes goes it's sandals and ankle boots for the most part. Her converse are reserved for if she knows she's going to be out running errands. She loves the stud earrings and a stud for her nose too since she thinks she hoops look awful. Skin Color: She's a little tan, but not too much. Her Irish roots account for that, but she does get rather pale in the winter when she stays in outside and such. Other(unusual/distinguishing features such as marks, tattoos, wounds, scars, etc): Taylor has her ears pierced three times from her earlobe up and also her nose pierced. She has her grandmother's name tattooed on her left wrist in cursive with a bow as well. Personality *Note that in all, your personality should have at least 500 words -- basic traits + questionaire. Basic Traits: Taylor's a very persistent person. It's a strength when it comes to getting what she needs or wants. She's trying to help her sister out by getting through to Dante and with her attitude she's positive she can be successful. Once she has a stable job it'll work better because she's not one to back down and give up. A weakness is her tendency to jump to conclusions. When people talk about something she points the blame. Even if she doesn't know the other side of the story she tends to point blame and get upset about it. She hates not being in the loop and probably accounts for her attitude being the way it is. A strength would be her loyalty to her family. She'd die for them if she had to honestly. She loves them and she's been there to take care of her parents over the last couple of years and now she's moving back to England to help her sister Sam straighten out her life. She'll babysit Kitty for her, buy groceries, and so on if she needs it. She does the same toward friends but they have to be a close friend. A strength, though maybe not a good one, is her ability to lie. She can fabricate a story easily if she needs to. She's learned to lie to the press about what happened to her sister, and she's learned how to do so in order to keep herself and her family safe. When people ask around about the family or what she herself has been up to, she tends to give a lie. Like that her parents are well and that they haven't heard from Sam. Questionaire: 1. How does your character act when meeting a new person? Taylor's casual and likes to let the other person start the conversation. She's usually cheerful unless shes had a bad day, and she likes the idea of meeting new people. 2. How does your character act in their day-to-day life? She's a bit goofy at times, but she knows when to be downright serious. She's demanding toward her family but polite to strangers. In her daily life she's usually putting on a pair of sunglasses to hide her face as she sneaks around town to not be seen. She doesn't have much of a routine but a mental list of what needs to get done for that day. 3. How does your character act when they're just hanging around their house?(Think about hobbies, and the house here; do they have pets? etc) Taylor likes to have her peace then. She'll shut herself in her room with music on low and her journal to write in. She likes to experiment with recipes and decorated her room at home with tons of photographs of artists and their work. At home she's relaxed and less of a loud mouth than she is out and about. 4. What responsibility's do they have? At home she was responsible for keeping tabs on the families bills and buying groceries. At home too she has to handle her younger brother. While with a flat mate she's going to chip in with the rent and whatever other costs. Otherwise she has to keep up on her job and help her sister out. 5. How does your character currently feel about romance? (One night stands only? Marriage and lots of babies?) Taylor doesn't believe in love. She looked up to her sister for that and she saw how it never worked and in the end hurt her so Taylor doesn't care. She loves being single and wants to keep it that way. Kids don't bother her but she doesn't see herself having her own, and she's more of a friends only kind of person though she likes to flirt. 6. What kind of quirks or mannerisms does your character have? She tends to bite her nails when she's nervous and she taps her foot sometimes. History: * Note that in all, you should have at least 500 words of a response for your history, preferably more. Early Childhood: Where were they born/how did they grow up? What were their parents like? How did they discover their magic? Taylor Destiny Mercer was born in Belfast Ireland to middle class parents. Her mother was a stay at home mom while their father was in the process of training to be a Auror. When that fell through he settled for working with his father in their own business selling antiques. Though it didn't pay a great deal, it was enough to keep the bills paid and food on the table. Growing up she got the hand-me-downs but she was always really close to Sam anyways. Her little shadow as Sam put it. Sam was even the one to first notice her sister doing magic without even realizing. The two were outside playing and Taylor made a ball disappear that she absolutely hated it. Both parents were thrilled in knowing their child was going to get to then go to Hogwarts and she could stick with her sister much easier that way. Her step-father Ross came into the picture when her parents divorced when she was three. Ross was in their lives only two months later and married when Taylor was six. Though the change was hard at first she learned to adjust and learned he wasn't such a bad guy after-all. She still refuses to call him dad though and just calls him Ross. Hogwarts/Wizarding Schooling Years: What house were they in? What were their favorite classes? Their least favorite? What did they do with friends on weekends/free-time? How did they spend their summers? Who were they closest with? Who was their first kiss/first time [if they've had them]? Were they more likely to follow the rules or bend them? Did something monumental happen during these years that changed them forever--and if so, what and how? Taylor ended up in Ravenclaw though she had been hoping for Gryffindor. The family didn't mind either way, they were just thrilled she was attending the school. Her first year she was a little shy, but she warmed up by the end. One of her friends tutored her in History of magic while another helped in potions. When they weren't doing homework in the common room they were outside by the lake or taking part in the weekends out. In the winter they liked snowball fights and tended to ignore curfew which got them locked out and in trouble a few times. Taylor played match maker while she was in school and was responsible for most of her friends boyfriends. She never really cared to be set up herself though as it was much more fun just watching from the sidelines. The only boyfriend she did have she had for a week before she told him she couldn't handle a relationship right then. When Sam was said to be dead it shattered Taylor's world. She was heartbroken for weeks and her family planned a funeral and everything. When it was found out her sister was live and well she promised to help her get her life back on track. She hasn't met Kitty yet nor seen Sam in a long time, but she's there to help. Because of Sam's death though Taylor's faced the media and press about it and doesn't like the fact she sometimes gets followed. Entering Adulthood: What do they do for a career/how do they make money? Where do they live, and who with? Do they travel; who with? Who are some of their friends and what do they do for free-time? What goals/dreams do they wish to accomplish? Out of school Taylor stuck to little jobs at bookshops or things like that. Currently she's working as a waitress and Ross is lending some money so she can get a place since Taylor doesn't want to bother Sam like that. She didn't have time for a real career though she's hoping for one eventually. She used to like journalism but with the press chasing her around she's grown bored and irritated with it. If anything she'd like to stick to something simple and close to her home in Ireland. She's hoping to move Sam and Kitty back there once she gets them all settled. It's the only reason she's going to England in the first place. Extra: How many languages do they speak? Can they cook[and what's their favorite foods?]? Do they have any strange customs or traditions? Please add anything else you wish to/that you know about your character here that do not fit in above categories. Taylor loves to cook and was taught by her mother. She's not a fan of spicy food but she loves Italian dishes. When she's away from home on holidays she'll leave either a present a piece under the tree, a cupcake each with a candle and a wish for them, or anything to do with the holiday so she can acknowledge them.
