Favorite...
Personality (At least 4 sentences, but longer is preferred):
Ben is charming and confident. He's the kind of guy that knows what he wants and he pursues it, come hell or high water. He's never really been good at listening when people tell him it can't be done, or it's against the rules, or anything along those lines.
He has a strong work ethic, he loves passionately and deeply, and is probably the most loyal guy you could ever hope to find. Love and a stubborn will make a powerful combination.
History (At least 4 sentences):
Ben was born to two muggles, a day laborer from Ireland and his school sweetheart. Having always been taught to work hard, it's sort of natural for Ben to revert to muggle habits except when absolutely necessary.
In Hogwarts, he met a wealthy Gryffindor girl, and the beginning of a 'boy from the wrong side of the tracks' romance was born. She denied him at first, and his friends warned him that her family didn't take to his kind, but Ben didn't listen, and when she finally relented to go out with him, they both fell hard and fast.
Her family disapproved, but his family welcomed her right in. They argued a lot, but they were over their fights pretty quickly and back to being madly in love. Somehow, though it seemed like enough was against them, they made it work.
And then, tragedy struck. Not in a flash or anything like that, but by something small, almost unnoticeable, the kind of thing that blindsides you when you realize it's been happening all along and you didn't even notice it.
She started to forget things. Stupid, silly little things that didn't mean anything, until they did start to mean something. She would forget what color shirt she wore the day before. Then, as time went on, she would forget what day it was. What her father's name was, until eventually, she started to forget who Ben was. It's not a constant thing, and the periods where she sees him as a stranger are short, usually an hour, no longer than a full day. At least, not yet. They keep telling him that she'll just get worse, that there's nothing they can do to help her, but Ben has never listened to words like that anyway.
Her case is unique that she's so young- unique, but not unheard of. And some things, even magic can't fix.
RP Sample (At least 4 sentences, must be as the character. Pretend it's your first post):
So I MAY have been watching The Notebook last night, and I MAY have cried really hard for a few minutes. I'm just saying, that might have had something to do with this.
And the girl, Andi? Eh? Eh?

Celebrity Claim (make sure you post in the Celebrity Claim list as well, and make sure your chosen celebrity is available):
Brendan Fraser, who I cannot believe hasn't been used yet
Strengths:
- Infinite patience
- Vocabulary
- Love and compassion- he thrives on it
- His wife (oh yeah.... there's a character here. See more below)
- Perseverance (which comes from the patience a lot)
Weaknesses:
- Letting go
- Being told what to do or what's good for him, following the rules
- Arguments- he has patience, but he's got a fiery Irish temper, too, and if you do get him started, he can really yell with the best of them
- Can get obsessive about certain things, in an almost unhealthy way
- Flying. Flat out cannot do it.
Quirks/Habits:
- Tends to do most everything the muggle way, just out of habit
- His thoughts are clearly written on his face- even if he doesn't tell you what he's thinking, it's usually pretty clear
- Puts his hands behind his head when he's frustrated and keeping himself from saying something.
Favorite...
- musician/band: Ben E. King (Hey, anyone named Ben has to be cool!)
- movie: It's a tie between North by Northwest and Casablanca
- book: Don Quixote. Let's just say, most days, it feels like he relates a lot.
- food: Haggis. No, I'm kidding! He likes hamburgers a lot- you know, the american kind.
