Representation of your Roleplay Character: Non/Disney: Vanessa (The Little Mermaid) Live action: Shilo Wallace (Repo! The Genetic Opera)
Speciality: She’s a ghost, therefore she can go through whatever she pleases – she can also pick things up and interact with things if she wants to, but she has to focus to do that. Also, as a ghost, her senses are significantly more acute then that of living beings. She can taste, feel, smell, hear and see things that others might miss, this has also resulted in her perspective of what is good and bad being severely warped - thus, she interprets things differently to living people might. This could be perceived as a both a speciality and a limitation.
Limitations: Being a ghost, she can't do much other than float around. She’s difficult to get through to as she is stubborn and often lashes out unpredictably. She’s often rude to people, and tends to pick on others. She has no respect for other people and will often go out of her way to aggravate them. She’s also incredible stubborn.
Wand/Magical Items: A 9 inch wand with a phoenix chest feather as its core. It is mahogany with fairly smooth and bark-like markings. She also owns a remembrall. As she died with these possessions, she still has them in her old robes. When she chooses to, she is able to grab solid objects, so often she steals other people’s belongings.
Personality: Because she is already dead, Vanessa thinks that there is little people can do to hurt her, so she isn’t usually threatened by people, although she hates being left behind, and forgotten. She is intelligent, and bitter, however usually she acts distant and cold to those around her. She is quite shy, not feeling like she belongs anymore. She gets entertainment out of bullying students, particularly the younger ones and the Gryffindors. When you get close to her, though, she tends to be calmer.
Appearance: She's quite curvy, although covers it with her robes. She has long, black hair, and green eyes. She's quite pale. She reaches 5'6". As a ghost, she is translucent and shadowy - with little colour.
History: She is a descendant of a pure blood family, Corvus - however her father fell ill and died in St. Mungos hospital a few years after she was born, leaving her mother to raise her alone. When her mother remarried a muggle-born, she believed herself to have become a blood traitor, betraying her pure blood heredity: as she is incredibly proud of her heritage. She kept her father a secret from everybody, terrified people would judge her if they knew the truth, although eventually people found out, of course. As her group of friends shared her opinion of muggle-borns, she was quickly rejected by them. Shortly after, she died. 1976 - She's born. 1978 - Father dies, of unknown illness. 1983 - Mother re-marries. 1995 – Died. She has not revealed what exactly happened. Present.
