Alexandra Ballard

[carrow]

Character Name: Alexandra Ballard

Year: Third

Preferred House (you may not get it, unless you are a canon character): Slytherin

Strengths: great with magic, self-conscious, quick learner, snakes, heights, clothes, vintage, calm, vingative.

Weaknesses: reserved, loud, curious, prudent, judges people based on appearance, superficial, always wants things done her way, bossy.

Personality: It is difficult for one to understand what is going on in Alexandra's mind. She likes to watch the scenery before indulging herself in it, she likes to make sure everything is clear. Like a cobra attacking its pray, Alexandra waits patiently for the time to act, whether it's stalking an insolent Gryffindor or catching a puffskein she always waits for the right opportunity; meaning the doesn’t rush through things.

She is fond of those who are fond of her -the basics of the Slytherin community. She keeps her feelings to herself, anyway, why would anyone want to hear her brag about something that wasn\t worth bragging? Alexandra was a very stubbron teenager, she did what she very well pleased without any warning.

Alexandra is very loyal to the Dark Arts and is one of the very few women who can master them perfectly. Compassion, sorrow, mercy... those are words that don’t exist in her vocabulary. She knew how to enchant guys with her different personality but that was something that she really didn’t look forward to.

Brief History:
Alexandra was the firts gil born in the Ballard family in over a century. That definitely brought up some comotion. The family treated her like a crystal vase, something that might break at any moment. At first she didn't mind, not at all! But once her parents started to be to show their ove protectiveness, Alexandra got terribly mad. She argued with her parents over and over, not pleading, but demanding they let her go out; they still didn't.

One day Mr. and Mrs. Ballard had to take a trip to the North of the country and Alexandra was left home. She only remembers receiving the news that her parents were killed. Nothing was specified, who, why, when, where, how...she was left to figure it out herself. All this tension made Alexandra do things she'd never thought before. She said what she wanted and expected to be well served, it was her home and now she reigned.

The anger that her parents death brought was vanquished through dark arts, she started learning them and soon found out she had a natural talent. A talent. Now there's something she can live with.

RP Sample (must be at least a paragraph): Alexandra walked though the dark corridor, her vision accustomed to the heavy lightening. Her footsteps were inaudible and attention was impossible to distract. She stood solid like a stone, her nose could recognise a scent. Something sweet but sour at the same time, she knew she had felt it before and it oddly brought back memories of home. Alexandra turned right and kept on walking down the corridor, the familiar scent getting stronger and stronger, almost impossible to resist. As she rounded a corner, desperation screaming up her mind, it was usually a mistake to act based on instinct and she knew better. She couldn’t help it, as she rounded the corner she saw a flash of black and pulled her wand from her pocket, before she could do anything she felt another wand pressing on her stomach. Alexandra lifted her gaze only to find that it was Amycus; they frowned for a while but ended up grinning. “You should watch where you’re walking.” she said to him, but he knowing Alexandra the way he did, he knew there was no need to start an argument, so he simply laughed.
