Personality (At least 4 sentences, but longer is preferred):
In order to describe Elisabetta’s personality, one would have to re-visit her past to understand what’s going on with her in the present. An only child, Elisabetta has never had to share any of her belongings with anyone. She was always the center of her parents’ attention, and whenever they had company or were doing something else that didn’t involve her, her usual course of action would be to throw a temper tantrum. To say she was spoiled is a very big understatement. To say that she continued to act like a spoiled child by the time she reached Hogwarts is also an understatement. From her Sorting up until now, Elisabetta does not exactly endear herself to other people.
The first thing that one will notice about her is her aggressive nature, as she does anything she can to make herself the center of attention. She doesn’t care what she has to do, whether it’s shoving people aside to put herself into a conversation that she was not invited to join, or even talking out of turn in the classroom, not caring if she speaks over the teacher, thus keeping the other students from learning what they were supposed to be learning. When called out on it, Elisabetta has no qualms about insulting the person who dares to speak up against her.
As she doesn’t have many friends to begin with, it goes without saying that Elisabetta has never had any sort of romantic relationship, either. This, however, doesn’t really bother her, as she hates seeing any public display of affection from other people around her. If she had her way, the boys and girls responsible for such actions would be put into permanent detention. Elisabetta herself hates it when people touch her, and to put herself into a position where hand-holding or other actions are common would drive her literally insane.
Though she can be a spoiled brat, Elisabetta has an introspective side to her, where she questions what her parents have taught her throughout the years. She knows she can never go against their wishes, and she doesn't, but she often wonders what life would be like were her family did not believe the way they believed. She often feels trapped in a life she didn't ask to live, but knows perfectly well that she can never rebel against her parents, otherwise she might not live to regret it. Her frustration often manifests itself when she goes off by herself in a secluded place to have a good cry.
Although Elisabetta is described in many negative terms, one thing that other people cannot say about her is that she’s dishonest. On the contrary, she is very honest, sometimes to the point of being brutal...if someone's feelings get hurt, she really doesn't care. She doesn’t like mincing words; she prefers that there be no misunderstandings in issues that might arise. She also has no patience for those people who have to have things explained to them over and over again, and tries her best not to associate herself with that sort of person.
Elisabetta does have her moments of happiness in the midst of all of her moods, however. For instance, she has always loved to go out and play in the middle of a thunderstorm, no matter if lightning is striking or not. She also loves singing, and, whenever she’s alone, can sometimes be heard singing some of the popular songs of the day. Her mother has always suggested that she take voice lessons in order to hone her singing skills, but Elisabetta has always resisted, saying that she has better things to do than make singing a career.
For all of her negative traits, Elisabetta is someone who is quite a resilient person. No matter what happens, be it good or bad, she always manages to bounce back and go on with life, having learned from her life experiences. She is also someone who is very persistent, setting goals and doing whatever she has to do to achieve them, refusing to let any sort of obstacle stand in her way. Elisabetta is also very appreciative of what she has, even though she hides that part of her deep down inside.

- Mother:Simone Domenici
- Father: Richard Domenici
- Siblings (if any, list names and ages): None
- Other family members (if significant): Massimo Domenici, her uncle
History (At least 4 sentences):
Elisabetta was born in London, England to Richard and Simone Domenici, both of whom hail from old wizarding families. From the time she was three until she received her letter from Hogwarts, Elisabetta traveled with her mother on her various concert tours. When both parents were away on various errands and meetings, Elisabetta was taken care of by her house elf.
Elisabetta's family life was calm and, to her at least, uneventful. Her parents, when home, always made sure to give their daughter their undivided attention, which often included warnings about associating with anyone who was Muggle-born. Although confused about this, Elisabetta agreed, and, like an obedient daughter, took this advice to heart. As far as her education before Hogwarts, it was Richard and Simone who gave her her first lessons about the magical world, using their old Hogwarts textbooks to teach her how to read. Richard himself taught her basic math skills.
When she was six, Elisabetta and her parents were visiting her uncle, Massimo Domenici, when she accidentally set a Bludger loose (although she had no idea exactly how it happened; it was the first time something like that had ever happened to her) in the house. The Bludger ended up smashing her uncle's favorite chess set, which resulted in Massimo's berating Elisabetta until she cried. Richard Domenici, quite angry, ended up cursing his brother, which resulted in Massimo no longer being able to speak.
Following this run-in with her uncle, Elisabetta tried her hardest not to let what happened that night happen again; however, it wasn't long after that when she was upset and ended up causing the mirror in her bedroom to shatter. Confused, she went to her parents, who explained to her that what was happening was a good thing, that she was showing signs of being an excellent witch, once she'd been trained. It was with anticipation that Elisabetta looked forward to receiving her Hogwarts letter, and when it finally arrived, she was beside herself with joy.
Elisabetta has no brothers or sisters, as Simone Domenici was unable to become pregnant after having Elisabetta. This, however, does not bother Elisabetta, as she loves being the center of attention whenever she's at home, and, drawing from that, she loves being the center of attention when she's around people she knows, the few friends she does have.
RP Sample It was a beautiful, sunny day at Hogwarts, and classes were in session. So of course, Sirius Black was sitting by the lake, whistling to himself and skipping stones along the surface of the water. He was cutting class, which was no surprise, but he was also alone, and that was unusual. For once, he did not have his ever-present companions, James, Remus, and Peter by his side. But even alone, no one would think he was anything but confident and comfortable with himself.
He tossed another thin, flat rock, and watched as it skimmed the surface, bouncing once, twice, three times, before the Giant Squid, seemingly annoyed by the disturbance, reached out one long tentacle and pulled the stone into the water.
Sirius laughed to himself, then leaned back against the tree, allowing the warmth of the sun to relax him. He slowly began to drift, and had nearly dozed off when he heard a voice above him.:
"Oi, Black!" Elisabetta shouted, standing just above him and not really caring if she hurt his ears or not. "Where's your band of merry men? Are they tormenting Severus without you? I find that quite difficult to believe, considering that you're the mastermind behind three-fourths of the pranks you idiots pull!"
She took a deep breath, wanting to get everything she wanted to say to him off of her chest before she exploded. This had been building up in her for Merlin knew how long, and she finally had the chance to tell this worm exactly how she felt about him. She was not going to miss the opportunity.
Elisabetta pulled out her wand and pointed it at him. "What should I do to you, Black? Hang you upside down? Pull down your pants? Tie your shoelaces together? What should I do? Whatever it is, give me a reason, and I swear I'll do it. Maybe just the fact that you exist at all...that's a good reason right there, don't you think? You don't have your flunkies here to help you out, now do you?"
An ugly sneer formed on her face as she continued to look down at Sirius. "Oh, this is a moment I've waited for...to humiliate one of the mighty Marauders just the same way he humiliates people who have done absolutely nothing to him at all. This is going to be a very good day for me."
Anything else?That's it for now.
