Username

Character Name
Sylvia Grace Brighton

Age
15

Gender
Female

Appearance
Average height and build with a pretty face, icy blue eyes, and fair complexion. Shoulder length, light brown hair that's often pulled up into a bob with curls. Or a ponytail at the very least. She favors skirts and blouses with tights and a nice coat when it's cold. She's normally seen with a smile on her face.

Personality:
Bright, bubbly, and attention seeking. She's kind and loyal without getting anything in return, it's just her nature, but if you give her the attention that she's after she'll be even kinder and more eager to help you out. She's mildly hard working, more then willing to blow off work to do something fun. A bit of a bad girl, but more often just the girl that seems like she wants to be the bad girl. She just likes the fun and the looks it gets her. She wasn't really one for ever being concerned about serious things, but despite that she's very protective of her family and friends.

House:
Wisteria

Bio:
The third, and last child of a (old family) pure blood witch and a muggle, life was rather good for her. Her father, of course knew what their mother was since his sister had turned out to be a witch as well and the two girls had meet in their time together at the Salem academy. Her father helped her mother run an apothecary for muggle use in the outskirts of a small Missouri town, using her healing and wizardry knowledge to help the open minded without doing outright 'potion' work or magic on them. Many in town suspected the family to be of the magic persuasion, but since nothing overtly bad had ever happened around them, the townsfolk left them alone and never threatened to pull out the pitch forks and torches as it were.

The Brighton's kept their children out of muggle schools. Not because they had a problem with them, they just decided they could teach them just as well at home. And this way, their mother could teach them about the wizarding sides of the basics things of science and history and maths. The children were involved in a local homeschooling group and made quite a few friends of the locals, even if some of them thought them all a little crazy.

Sylvia is now following after her mother, and more recently her older sister Florence (ten years her elder), and her older brother Lucius (six years her elder). Since her first year, she felt like she had a lot to live up to between her sisters grades and book learning, and her brother's natural talent at everything. But after third year she gave up trying to be better than them and has just accepted that she was going to be the goof off that didn't make top marks or prefect or anything like that. She's still holding out a bit of hope that maybe she'll make team captain, though, even if that doesn't look too likely. But hey, at least she has a chance for that.

Skills
Strengths
*She's inherited her mother's innate talent at the healing arts and as such is also rather skilled in potion making and herbology.
*She's an amazingly quick reader, and rather good at retaining a lot of information despite seemingly like most of it isn't there.
*A rather good flyer and decent Chaser, she tried out for the open position on the team in her fourth year.
*She's got a knack for counter jinxes and what not since her brother and older cousins like to tease her and pick on her with them. Nothing ever lastingly harmful though. She's also pretty good at casting them right back as well.
Weaknesses
*Sylvia's a little naive, and a little too willing to let someone drag her along on an adventure that might get her into trouble.
*Her magical talent is a little lacking compared to others in her family, and some cousins on her mother's side have made it known that that's just not acceptable, so when someone calls into question how good she is at something, she can sometimes snap back rather painfully (for that person).

Classes:
The usual for 5th years: Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Potions, Astronomy, History of Magic, and Herbology. For her electives she's added Ancient Runes and Divination.

Wand
5" birch, unicorn hair core. A sturdy wand despite it's delicate, almost icicle looking nature. The handle is carved with snowflakes.

Man this looked really awesome but it seems to be on hold, yes? I still might whip up a profile though because I've been itching for a good HP RP and things might still yet get started. *is hopeful*

*grumbles* So I have a really awful internet connection at the moment. Like it has taken me at least twenty minutes to get the page to load so I could type this, who knows how long it'll take me to get it actually posted. >.< So might be slower than normal until I get things working right again >.>

Biography
The only two living children of Vance and Alexandra Sparrow. Their father built up the little company that his father had started into an empire, buying (and sometimes blackmailing) his way into social influences and business deals. Alexandra died when Vance was ten, Maryia five despite the best efforts of their doctors and healers and the prayers of her children. The elder Vance raised his children through tutors and nannies, remaining the cold and distant man he'd always been and hardly acknowledging his children't grief.

When Vance was old enough, his father took him under his wing, in a business sense, and taught him all he needed to know. He worked as his father's second in command until a few years ago when the elder Vance took suddenly ill and passed on, leaving his boy in control of the vast empire they'd built. And things seem to just keep going up for them.

While Vance was being taught in the ways of business, Masha was leaning how to be a lady. Which she hated every second of and would ditch out of her governesses care at any opportunity. She followed her brother around like a little puppy, picking up on what she could through him. Which is a skill she still uses as an adult.

Business flourished under the elder Vance's control and things were looking very well for them, moving up the social ladder and everything. But quiet suddenly, the pairs father took ill and passed before it could be found what was wrong with him. Rumors circulated for a while that perhaps one, if not both of his children had a hand in his untimely death, but as of yet nothing has been proven on that front and they have both been cleared of any wrong doing.

[Steampunk] When the Smoke Clears 2.0

I've been here most of the day, working on my character(s?)

[Steampunk] When the Smoke Clears 2.0

Try tumblr. I know there are a few blogs just for RP character faces.

[Steampunk RP]When the Smoke Clears

I'm still here too, just been a little slammed. Working slowly on a character I should hopefully have finished and up in a day or two.

Been too long! Hope you're doing well. Would be great to have you.

It has been, it has been. It would be great to be had.

.....

That sounded less dirty in my head.

[Advanced] When the Smoke Clears[Steampunk RP]

I'm super interested for sure.

[Casual to Advanced] Some assembly may be required.

Well, maybe if I understood what #2 actually wanted. >< It seems a little like the arranged marriage plot from #1 but with magic *tosses confetti*

It is a bit. Because I guess that's basically what I'm looking for. *shrugs* Though #1 is most certainly meant to be a romance plot, where #2 is more adventure (and backstabbing likely) than romance (and as I said, romance not needed in that one.) I like setting up worlds and plots with my partners and not just throwing every little thing I want at them and saying 'fill in a character to fit me'. So often, my plot suggestions are vague.

Two words.Dresden Files.I've never met anyone else who's heard of the series... therefore I've never RPed it, but I would love to go dabbling in Butcher's realm.

I wasn't really looking to delve into his world persay, so much as just saying I like the mix he has with modern and fantasy...

And if I came off sounding rude or mean, that's not my intent. I'm a little on edge and hormoney atm and I don't always notice my tone is coming off as mean. So sorry :{
