Eyes: Light Blue.
Hair: Dark Brown.
Height: 63”
Weight: 110lbs.
Distinguishing Features(if any):[/b] Autumn has a small scar on her right arm from falling out of a tree when she was five years old. Also for some reason or another, Autumn has very dry skin and her hands and feet often have cuts and cracks in them because of this.
Play-by: Lucy Hale
Overall appearance: Autumn has light blue eyes that are contrasted by her dark brown hair. Her hair isn’t too long, just passing her shoulders by a few inches. Much to her annoyance, she wasn’t blessed with a decent height as she is barely over five feet. She doesn’t weigh all too much, just enough to satisfy her. Her skin is pale white, which she honestly hates. Paleness is associated with vampires, as her sister used to tease her as a little girl. Autumn enjoys wearing a little makeup to try and make her skin a bit more lively, but she’s never found herself to be attractive. One could argue that she is pretty, though. Normally, Autumn wears contacts, but, if those aren’t available to her, she has to wear glasses. Despite hating her pale skin, it's almost always been clear. The curse of acne must've skipped her as both of her siblings have it.

Oddly, Autumn enjoys her clothing being fashionable. At Hogwarts, she’s always wearing her robe and tie; she also makes a habit of wearing her scarf often, even when the weather is warmer. Autumn likes to wear different pairs of earrings and she has a handful of different necklaces she wears every day. Her favorite makeup is lipstick; she's almost always wearing a dark shade of red to cover up her normally pink lips. Like most girls, she enjoys painting her nails odd colors. And, she almost always has something in her hair, like a headband, or something else to help control it.

Erised: What she desires most is to be a mother with a family of her own.
Patronus: Her Patronus animal is a fox. Her best memory is playing in a forest with her brother and sister.
Boggart: Her biggest fear is her family being killed by Death Eaters.
Dementor: Her sister not speaking to her when she found out she was a witch.
Amortentia: Peppermint because candy canes have always been her favorite candy. Peppermint reminds her of Christmas; she loves the holidays and being close with her family. As a little girl, she always snuck a candy cane off the Christmas tree. Autumn also loves the smell of flowers in the spring. Though Spring is her least favorite season; she loves the fresh smell of nature. Oh, and she loves the smell of bananas. They’re her favorite fruit; anything with a banana scent will probably attract her.

Likes:
~Candy (sweets are her guilty pleasure.)
~Reading (fictional stories about amazing characters, how can someone not like reading?)
~Drawing/Sketching (putting her imagination on paper is her favorite thing to do.)
~School (call her a nerd, but her education has always been important to her.)
~Romance (she’s a secret romantic; true love is a good start for a family.)
~Quidditch (she hates flying on a broomstick, but she loves watching the sport.)
~Music (music is Autumn’s muse and passion; whenever there’s free time, she’s listening to it.)

Dislikes:
-Lord Voldemort (self explanatory; he scares her.)
-Death Eaters (Voldemort’s followers are nearly as scary as him.)
-Prejudice (she still doesn’t understand why some purebloods hate muggle-borns.)
-Lying/Cheating (honesty is the best policy. It’s just dreadful to be dishonest.)
-Bullies (friendship is important to Autumn. It irks her that anyone would just be unkind to another.)
-Dark Arts (Dark magic frightens her almost as much as those who wield it.)
-Thought of death (Dying disturbs her out more than anything else.)

Strengths:
1. Autumn is intelligent and resourceful.
2. She’s artistic and creative; she’s almost always coming up with new ideas.
3. It’s her nature to be kind and friendly to others. It isn’t hard for her to make friends.

Weaknesses
1. Autumn has a tendency to lack confidence in herself.
2. She also unknowingly grows dependent on her friends and loved ones.
3. Autumn has a very difficult time adapting to change; she also cannot stand to let others go.

Overall Personality: Autumn is a very kind girl. Friendship and morals are very precious to her. She enjoys making friends and hates making enemies. If she could have her way, all of the prejudice in the Wizarding World wouldn’t exist. Intolerance and dishonesty are two of the few things that anger her, but, when offended, Autumn isn’t always assertive. She prefers to ignore things that she doesn’t care instead of fighting against them. School is important to her, just like friendship is. Autumn is intelligent and tries hard in her schoolwork. She strongly believes that education is the key to an exciting future. Though she cares much for academics, she’s always believed that art is more important. In her free time, Autumn draws, reads, writes and listens to music. Drawing is her favorite form of expression. Wherever she goes, she carries a sketchbook.

Autumn is very close to her family; she loves them more than anybody else. Her first few years at Hogwarts were devastating for her. Her family consists of Muggles, and she was hurt when they didn’t take too kindly to her being a witch. While at Hogwarts, she misses them dearly and tries to fill the void of their absence by making numerous friends, or kind acquaintances. One of her problems is her dependence on other people. If Autumn ever makes a good friend, she enjoys hanging around them as often as she can. She also has issues adapting to change. Whether it’s leaving for Hogwarts, leaving Hogwarts for home, losing a friendship, anything along those lines is hard for Autumn. Her biggest fear is losing someone she loves to Lord Voldemort, or a Death Eater. Secretly, she’s a romantic. Her dream is to someday fall in love and start a family with that perfect guy. Though of course, Autumn would never admit that out loud to someone.

IT’S THE CRACKING OF THE GLASS
THE HAUNTING OF YOUR PAST

Family:
–Father: Robert Greenleaf (44 years old; Muggle)
-Mother: Elise Greenleaf (43 years old; Muggle)
-Sister: Susan Greenleaf (18 years old; Muggle)
-Brother: Jeffrey Greenleaf (13 years old; Muggle)

Pets: Her owl named Snowflake.

Residence: She and her family live in a very small town in northern England.

History: Autumn is the second child of Robert and Elise Greenleaf. She was born on a cold November day, late into the evening. As long as Autumn can remember, she’s been close to her older sister, who was three when she was born. Her parents raised her to be kind and caring and she developed a strong relationship with her family. When her younger brother, Jeffrey was born, the family was practically inseparable. She’s always loved them more than anything in the world. When she was a little girl, her mother taught her to draw and it’s a skill she’s practiced every day since then. Her sister, Susan was the one who installed a love for music and reading into her though. While she was growing up, the two would have their own private book clubs and on some afternoons, she’d play in the woods with her sister and brother. Those are some of her happiest memories. Due to her close relationship with her family, Autumn has developed a sort of dependency on them.

A few days after she turned 11, Autumn received an acceptance letter into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that explained that she was indeed a witch. This caught her entire family off guard. It frightened her parents, who knew nothing about the Wizard world. This shocking discovery scared Autumn, a lot. And, it strained the strong relationship she had with her family. They still took her to Diagon Alley and saw her off on the Hogwarts Express, but, it was still disturbing for them to have a Witch in the family. When she arrived at Hogwarts, she was sorted into Gryffindor House, but, it took her a long while to adjust to life at Hogwarts.

For the first few months, she missed her family dreadfully. At first, Autumn had trouble making friends, but after a while, she finally got used to the fact that she was a Witch and began to come out of her shell. She made a few friends, no one too close unfortunately. Watching some things from a distance scared her though. Some of the prejudice Slytherin students had against Muggle-borns was a bit disturbing to her. Being new to the Wizard World left her confused and scared when she heard whispers about a certain Dark Lord and terror that fell upon the Wizard World until Harry Potter stopped him. When she learned that Harry Potter, a boy a year ahead of her had saved the world made her develop a strong respect for him and the Gryffindor House. Throughout the year, she remained devoted to her studies, became more dedicated to her art and fell in love with Hogwarts.

As the years passed, her family became much more accepting of who Autumn really was. Though life hasn’t been exactly the same as it used to be, she was happy that everything was almost back to normal. She grew much more comfortable at Hogwarts, excelled in academics and found a habit in watching Quidditch games. Autumn became interested in Muggle Studies and she wanted to learn more and more about the relationship between the two worlds. She became more skilled at sketching and life seemed nearly perfect for her. But, when rumors began surfacing about Voldemort’s return; Autumn became terrified. At first when the rumors began, she was skeptic, like nearly everyone else. But as time passed, and it became more obvious that the Dark Lord and Death Eaters were rising up again to terrorize both worlds, nightmares of losing those precious to her began haunting her.

Most recently, Autumn has feared for her family. She can force herself to forget that Voldemort was prejudice against Muggle-borns and Muggles. Her biggest fear is that someone will kill her family. Her fear has recently left her questioning if she does belong in Gryffindor. And, she was also tempted to drop out of Hogwarts so she could stay at home and know her family was safe. They convinced her to come, but she still secretly fears the worst. Autumn has been curious as well. Others seem to be handling this situation better than she is. For the first time in a while, Autumn really can’t wait to return home.

Name/Alias: Amanda.
Age: 19.
Roleplay Experience: Nearly four years.
How you heard about us: I found a link for this site in a link board on another site I’m a part of.
Code Phrase: ADMIN EDIT
Roleplay Sample:

Her muse to draw just wasn’t present today. Just like the past few days, worry was floating around in her head. It saddened her that she’d been reduced to a puddle of paranoia. Every year, she heard the Sorting Hat sing about the courage Gryffindor students had, but now, Autumn felt like she was nothing more than a coward. Had the Sorting Had been wrong? Maybe she really did belong in another House; one where courage wasn’t a required trait. But then again, could anyone blame her for fearing the worst? What if she didn’t have a home to return to for the summer holiday? If the situation was as grim as the rumors around school had suggested, then her fear was legit.

Letting out a sigh, the adolescent placed her pencil on the empty page. Drawing was her outlet; the only way she could erase stress or feelings of sadness was to draw. But now, that wasn’t even satisfying her. How was she going to cope with her fear? Autumn wanted to believe that everyone else at Hogwarts understood what she was going through. But did they really? Even the brave, heroic and sworn enemy of Voldemort was handling the situation far better than she. Harry Potter was who Voldemort wanted, but, fear wasn’t eating him alive like it was her. In her mind, he was the true model for what a Gryffindor should be. It made her feel inferior.

Autumn knew there was much more for her to learn. Even after five years at Hogwarts, the world of magic was still knew and foreign to her. But, she didn’t want her family to suffer for her connections to this world. Was a magical education worth endangering them? In her eyes, it wasn’t. Letting out a soft sigh, she stood from her seat. Keeping her sketchbook close to her chest. Giving the painting the correct password, Autumn walked out of the Gryffindor common room, with no clear destination in mind. Anything was better than standing still. Perhaps outside would best for now. She loved the snow; it was beautiful and pure until it hit the ground. She always used to love drawing it, until recently.

Quite frankly, Autumn wasn't positive on where she wanted to go. Perhaps a friend would be willing to take a moment or two away from their homework to speak with her. The girl just wondered if she'd be able to confide in them. It seemed nearly impossible to be as dependent on one's family as she was. And, it was certainly no secret that some people found her closeness to others...freaky. Some of the rude Slytherin boys had teased her about in the past. Her thoughts were now enveloping her consciouness. She lost touch with reality for a moment and fell to the ground, scraping her knee in the process. "This is just perfect!" Autumn complained as she examined the light damage. At least she was distracted... for now.

The app looks pretty good! There are just a few things to fix. ^_^

-I would like to see a little more detail in her appearance.

-Try checking the rules again. The code word isn't quite right. ;)

When you fix those things, put (MD) in the title!
