History: Rochelle was adopted at the age of two by a young French couple looking to start a family. Being both a Witch and a Wizard, they waited anxiously for signs of magic in their young tot. A friend had tipped them off about many young witches and wizards emerging form that orphanage, and they sat with their fingers crossed for many years. Finally, at the age of 7, little Rochelle succeeded in turning her dollhouse into a castle (complete with working torches, drawbridge, and moving knights on horses), and her parents were simply ecstatic. She then developed an extreme talent in her schoolwork, ending up doing 10 page research papers by age 9. Wanting their child to have more of a challenge, they enrolled her into Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At the age of 11, she received her letter. Ever proud, her parents continue to frame her acceptance letters year after year.

How do you dress? The same pleated black skirt everyday, except for when those three are washing, and then she wears the three gray ones. Paired with collard button up shirts and absolutely NO jewelry.
How do you present yourself? (What is the initial reaction of most people on meeting you?) Kind of strange…lol. She’s quiet; she dresses funny, and is kind of protective and likes her space.
Personality
General (give us a few paragraphs on your everyday temperament) emotionally unsound, Rochelle spends most of her time writing poetry and reading her textbooks. She often runs into closed doors (not looking where she’s going) and is the center of all the house gossip. She is often seen whispering in people’s ears.
What are you like day to day? Load and annoying. She writes out homework planners for everyone in the class and makes daily trips to the library. She’s always busied with either schoolwork or her other hobbies (like talking, gossiping, and talking).
What makes you sad? What are you like when you are sad? People make fun of her all the time, but it doesn’t upset her much. When she is truly sad, she gets unusually quiet.
What makes you angry? What are you like when you are angry? She runs into more doors than usual… but anger only happens when someone does something SUPER unfair (to her of course), other than that she is pretty…. um…not angry…
What makes you happy? What are you like when you are happy? If she’s happy, everybody knows. She’s smiley, and she hums to herself.
What are you like when you are hyper? Just talks really fast and her leg bounces and she smiles nonstop.
Are you outgoing, shy, somewhere between? Outgoing, maybe a little too much
Do you make friends easily? Naw, just know everybody’s names and everything they do. Plus people tend to avoid her….
How smart are you? Pretty darn smart, never got anything below an “e”
How important is it to you to follow the rules? VERY, she’s quite the snitch.
What makes you different, original, special, or unique? Everything mentioned above! Lol.
Likes/Dislikes
What are your hobbies or interests? What do you do in your free time? Reread textbooks, gossip…
What kind of people do you like to be around? What are the kinds of people you can't stand? Likes being around people in general. Can’t stand Slytherin’s though.
What is your favorite color? Is there a color you really hate? Just likes your basic grays, whites, and blacks. Doesn’t like bright colors.
Strengths/Weaknesses
Classes? Good at Transfiguration, bad at potions (can’t concentrate long enough to put the right ingredients in)
Talents? Poetry and organization…. is being the loudest person in the room a talent?
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*)
Um, she has no life; she is completely absent minded and has several bruises on her right shoulder from walking into things. (That’s her only clumsy thing though). …Intrudes into other peoples business… annoys people unintentionally…need I say more?

Rochelle made her way quickly down the train corridor and stopped at the tenth compartment on the right. She pulled the door open and smiled at the four people inside.
“Hello fellow Gryffindors!” she yelled. She ignored the collective groans issued from behind the older students forced smiles. “I asked some people up front and they told me I could find you here! So what’s up?” She said, sitting down next to boy with messy brown hair and round glasses. “I heard you still have a crush on Lily this year,” she continued, looking at him and not waiting for an answer. “I have some advice for you - just be nice! Offer to carry her books, ask her if you can walk her to class, or something along those lines. I don’t think you should play with the snitch anymore, it’s starting to get old, and make sure you always chew with your moth closed and keep your clothes clean and stuff, girls like that, and go ahead an mess with your hair, its cute! And don’t forget to keep quiet about yourself when you talk to her, you never know, she could just be begging for a simple compliment. Oh and Remus,” she took a breath and switched her attention to the pale boy sitting across from her. “With the information I’ve gathered from the 5th and 7th year girls, I think you should try and keep your teeth a little cleaner. You have the potential for a 100-watt smile; you just need some confidence, which reminds me…” she turned to a handsome dark-haired boy sitting in the corner with his hands behind his head (obviously amused by all this). “Sirius, you really should tone it down in the flirting department, if you wink at every girl you see they’ll start to think it’s seizure or something. Except for the Gryffindor 6th years, they like to be winked at. And I think you should keep it within your own house, you’ll have to start narrowing it down. After all, you are in your 7th year….” She gave him an I’m-finished-with-you look and turned to little Pettegrew. “If you need me to write you another study guide, just ask me. I’m free this Saturday from 10-3pm, you can find me in the library.” She abruptly stood up and breathed a breath of accomplishment. “Well. My work here is done, I’ll see you at the opening feast!” She turned quickly (bumping her shoulder) and left in the compartment four very stunned (and soon laughing) friends.
