at least 2 paragraphs, please!
Carmondy Cunningham was raised in luxurious mansions in the English countryside, thanks to her Duke and Duchess grandparents. She was brought up to be a prim and proper, polite and polished young lady. However, Carmondy has somewhat of a wild streak….
Though incredibly smart and witty, she used her brains to successfully be “dismissed” form every girls private school her Grandmother had ever sent her to, rather then use them for the good of society.
By the time she was eleven her no-nonsense Grandmother simply did not know what to do with her (there were no schools left in Europe). Carmondy was a very tasteful girl—yet constantly scheming.
Then one day, while eating dinner with her grandparents and their business colleagues, a large snowy owl came swooping into the Dining Hall with a message for Carmondy.
Though her Grandmother was not what one would call thrilled about her grand daughter being a witch—the Cunningham’s never turn down an educational experience.
Family:
Parents: (names, pure/half/Muggle) Iris Cunningham (witch) and Henry Cunningham III (muggle). Mysteriously vanished while on business trip in France when Carmondy was 3.
Siblings: (names, ages) An older brother, Henry Cunningham IIII (20) However, Henry (or “Hen”) ran away two years ago in order to join a rock group in America (called “Bloody Wicked”). Carmondy and him still exchange letters (or owls)
Other IMPORTANT relationships (live-in grandparents, adoptive siblings, etc): Her Grandparents, Harriet Cunningham, and Henry Cunningham II. Raised Carmondy and Hen.
Appearance
Skin: (color, type, freckles, scars, etc.) Flawless (exception of a chicken pox scar on her forehead which she hides magically), her pride and joy. Very fair-skinned.
Hair: (color, texture, length) Long, wavy, strawberry blond hair. Half way down her back. Wears it mostly down.
Eyes: (color, size, eyelashes, eyebrows) Stunning green, almond shaped. Long lashes, her second pride ;-)
Face: (shape, and anything specific about the size, shape, etc. of the characters nose, forehead, chin/jaw line, etc. that you want to mention) Tiny nose, perfectly plucked eyebrows, oval shaped.
Height: 5’4”
Weight: 105 lbs.
Body Type: (muscular, chubby, scrawny, etc.) Slender, not at all muscular.
How do you dress? Classy, accessories are key. LOVES jewelry, especially earrings (has a double hole and her bellybutton pierced—which her grandmother will NEVER find out a/b!)
How do you present yourself? (What is the initial reaction of most people on meeting you?) Boldly. Walks into a room as though she owns the place, always with a smile (her smile has a million faces)
Personality
General (give us a few paragraphs on your everyday temperament) Peppy, loves to joke around, thinks sulking is a sin. Cracks jokes at every chance she gets (including during class, much to the teachers disapproval). Hates to see anyone in a bad mood. Very good at pretending she’s interested in something pointless she’s being told.
What are you like day to day? Happy, energetic, walks quickly and perkily, as though she’s modeling on a catwalk.
What makes you sad? What are you like when you are sad? Scarcely anything can put her down—but the memory of the day her parents never came home often causes the urge to eat chocolate ice cream.
What makes you angry? What are you like when you are angry? People dissing her friends. You do NOT want Carmondy mad at you. Gives an awesome cold shoulder.
What makes you happy? What are you like when you are happy? Achieving her goals. Walks with a bit more lift in her step.
What are you like when you are hyper? Bouncing off the walls.
Are you outgoing, shy, somewhere between? Definitely outgoing. Is always the first person to say hello.
Do you make friends easily? EXTREMELY (even if they don’t want to be her friend). Though some people find her annoying, many find her fascinating as a muggle-raised specimen.
How smart are you? Very smart logically, and about average academically. Her teachers aren’t all too fond of her, but they don’t complain since she keeps her grades up.
How important is it to you to follow the rules? Rules? There are rules at Hogwarts? (LOL)
What makes you different, original, special, unique? Her bellybutton ring ;-)
Likes/Dislikes
What are your hobbies or interests? What do you do in your free time? Enjoys listening to her brother’s music, writing short stories, painting her nails—and of course plotting for her next big plan.
What kind of people do you like to be around? What are the kinds of people you can't stand? Can’t stand anyone who’s boring, conceited, snotty, practical, colorless (personality wise), or that has no sense of humor. Other than that (lol) likes everyone!
What is your favorite color? Is there a color you really hate? Absolutely loves light pinks, blues, purples, whites, and greens. Can’t stand gray, brown, or yellow.
Strengths/Weaknesses
Classes? Though she’s often late for class (purposefully), and is famous for passing notes, she is fair at every class…except Care of Magical Creatures.(animals seem to despise her)
Talents? Thinking up elaborate lies/stories on the spot.
Please list 3 major faults your character has. (and if one of them is 'too nice' or 'too perfect', YOU HAVE A MARY SUE ON YOUR HANDS!!! *runs of screaming but returns with a large mallet* And then I'd have to use this....*grim expression*)
She’s Smart-Alec, seems to have trouble taking things seriously, and rolls her eyes too much.

~During the Summer~
Carmondy lay on her stomach in bed, holding up a flashlight to the pages of a book she was reading underneath her comforter. In was entitled “Lust and Love The Easy Way—Twenty Effective Love Potions”. She planned on making gallons of it this school year and selling it to those in need. She’d make quite a bit of pocket money.
Tap…tap…tap… something was hitting against her window. She pulled off the blanket and shined her flashlight in that direction. It was her owl, Vogue. She climbed out of bed and went to open the window for her.
“Hey, sweetie!” she crooned, “You bring me back a letter?” The tawny owl hooted in reply and held out her foot. A small piece of paper was rapped around it.
“Thanks, cutie,” said Carmondy, gently stroking Vogue’s feathers, “Goodnight!”
She took the note, and switched on her nightlight so she could read the message:
Miss. Cunningham,
Over the summer I have received quite a few “Secret Admirer” letters. All were delivered by the same owl—which I happened to recognize as yours (considering it was the same owl who got loose in my classroom last year). You wouldn’t know anything about it—would you?
Sincerely, Professor Flitwick
A small smile played on Carmondy’s lips as she grabbed a quill, ink, and a fresh sheet of paper to reply:
Dearest Flitwick,
Who is Miss. Cunningham? I assure you—I am no student playing games with you’re head. Your handsome, charming, intelligent head, mind you. If this is about the height difference, don’t worry! I have no problem with the man I love being shorter then me!
Love, Anonymous
Carmondy read through her reply note, and laughed. She supposed this whole thing was a bit mean…but Flitwick was the one who’d wanted to flunk her last year. She sighed to herself and set the note aside to send in the morning.
        She wondered if the other three teachers had received their's….
