I'm Karissa and I tried writing this intro earlier but it was SO LONG! This is Roxanne, a junior Coppertale. I'm gonna try this in list form and see if it works out less rambly. SPOILER: This is Karissa from the future and it isn't any less rambly.
1. Halfblood but might as well be muggleborn given that she was totally oblivious to the wizarding world until the year before ninth grade.
2. That rumor about how she bought her way into Gooseberry? TOTALLY TRUE and although she doesn't know it for a fact, she does suspect it. Many of the classes at Gooseberry require prior knowledge and she had very little of that. It took a sizable donation to grease the door enough to allow her entry.
3. Sizable donations are totally a thing her family can do because the Barringers are a very historic, old-money family in Boston.
4. She spent seven years (from the ages of six to thirteen) on Lo & Behold, a popular daytime soap. Her character was Claudia Murray. The show did one of those "sudden agings" and her intro at six was replacing an infant in the same role.
5. Rox is soooo very sixteen years old and this is only exacerbated by the fact that she had virtually no say in her life until thirteen. Three years since and she's still thrilled by doing the opposite of whatever would have been approved back then.
6. She's also extremely Coppertale for pretty much the same reason. Rox haaaaates being directed/corrected/told what to do. As mentioned in her concept, she's very spiteful and this trait pops out most frequently when these things occur. This girl really is the walking definition of cutting off her nose to spite her face - she is not afraid to inconvenience herself just to make a point to someone else.
7. Roxie tends to bond very, very strongly to her friends and her friendship can be very intense and even tiring. Because she had such little real socialization growing up, she's got a sort of skewed perception of how friendship is meant to work. She is often jealous of how her friends spend their time and who they're spending it with if it isn't her. On the flip side, her loyalty is top notch and she expects the same. She's all about having fun and toeing the line so rule lovers probably won't be loving her. >>
8. She's lost quite a few friends over the years because she did some shitty little asshole thing out of spite. This is where that jealousy comes into play if you were wondering. Rox gets over shit pretty quickly but others have obviously been permanently turned off by her pettiness in the past.
9. One of the things she really enjoys not giving a shit about is her appearance. After years and years of spending hours every day being fussed over, she's happy to drop appearances to the bottom of her priority list. Her hair is poorly groomed, her nails are jagged, she wears no makeup except for the rare occasions where breaks out the eyeliner.
10. Secretly loves Divination and believes she's a Seer.
11. She was a reserve last year and this will be her first year on the team as a Beater! Girl trained hard all summer and she's got guns. Expect sooo many arm wrestling matches. She's incredibly competitive at pretty much all times and a notoriously sore loser.
12. She loves LARP because it's like acting but without being directed. She gets really into it, though, and has a hard time controlling how hard she hits if she's in an in-character fight which is unfortunate since her characters are always the type itching for fights. Her favorite character was a (foam) battlehammer wielding orc named Ulga.
13. Has a distinctive seal laugh that loves to make itself heard at the worst times. Headmistress giving a serious talk during dinner? 2AM on a Wednesday? Yes and yes.
14. Her familiar is a hairless dumbo-eared rat she calls Nads. The name is short for Gonads because that's what she feels like but she tells her parents it stands for Nadia.
I need to stop because I'm going to rewrite her entire profile (http://dominant.insanejournal.com/1296.html). I'm open to all kinds of plot, let's hash it out. :)
