{ About The CHARACTER }
x Adessa Lynn Creed"Dessy"
CANNON OR ORIGINAL: Original YEAR: 7th AGE: 17 DOB: October 6th, 1960 RACE: Human GENDER: Female SEXUALITY: Straight WAND: Mahogany, 11 2/3 in., Dragon Heart String Core BROOM: N/A PET: A Great Horned Owl- Warrior
APPEARANCE: Adessa is a rather plain and simple girl. She’s not fairly tall, and she isn’t extremely attractive. She has mid-length reddish hair (that can look anywhere from brunette to blonde depending on the lighting) and piercing blue-grey eyes. Her height stalls at a simple 5’5” ½, and though her body is well developed and grown into, it’s really nothing to oogle at. And though there isn’t much to her, Dessy does have a rather firm looking frame, though she really is quite delicate. Despite her lack of vivacious curves and other grand features, the redhead does have quite the face to stare at.
Unlike some girls, the curves of her face aren't too rounded or too pointy and instead rest at a happy medium, and if that isn't enough, then the eyes she was blessed with are deep enough to get lost in when stared into, and they always manage to glitter in the right light. She isn't exactly known to be 'girlie', but she does at least dress enough of the part (when she's not in her school robes) to prove she is, in fact, female. Make-up and other things aren't exactly her style, as Des has somehow managed to develope a natural appearance that doesn't need the substance- whether she admits to it or not. All in all, the girl is pretty without being over bearingly so, but would argue with just about anyone who suggested as such FACE CLAIM: Joanna “Jojo“ Levesque
PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION: At first, Dessy seems shy, timid, and well reserved. She doesn’t generally take the time to engross herself with making friends and having a good time. She takes her school work seriously and doesn’t usually like to goof off and relax until everything she needs to get done is as such. For her friends, however, she’s always there and very dependable. Her loyalties lie with them first and anything they typically need, she’ll work hard to attain. She does have a bit of an imagination and usually helps quite it down with a good book or two.
She isn't particularly fond of sports, though does like to catch a good Quidditch match when the mood strikes her. This isn't something she flaunts, however, due ot the fact that she's afraid her liking to watch Quididtch will draw attention upon herself. Despite Des' timid and shy nature, she doesn't have an extremely firm protective streak over the people she cares about. If a situation calls for it, she can usually cast her timid side away and become firm to a brutal point and perhaps even slightly vicious. She doesn't put up with people assaulting her friends and won't stand for it one bit. BOGGART: Death Eaters, due to the experience with her family PATRONUS: Snow Leopard, because its protective and cunning, something Dessy is sure she'll never be HOPES FOR THE FUTURE:Despite everything that’s gone on in the girl’s life, she really hopes to finish Hogwarts and get a job at the Ministry as an Unspeakable.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: N/A BLOOD: Pureblood BIRTHPLACE: She was actually born within her own home, some place out in the country near London MY FAMILY: Father: Charlie Mathew Creed Mother: Grace Amy Creed Older Sister: Samantha Jane Creed Older Brother: Mathew Jayden Creed WHATS IN THE PAST: Adessa is the youngest child born to the Creed family. By her second year of life, she was already showing signs of magic, which pleased her parents greatly. As she grew, her closest (immediate) relative became her brother, and bit by bit her older sister became less and less prone to being around the family. By age eleven, Dessy received her letter to Hogwarts and life was normal and carefree up until the girl’s fifth year. Christmas Term at home proved to be an event Des would never forget, and as such, she hasn’t exactly been right since. She came back to school rather late after Christmas Break had ended, and she had more or less completely changed. Where she had at one time been bright and bubbly, she was closed in, reserved, and extremely timid. She hasn’t talked about what happened that Christmas (though general facts were littered throughout the Prophet) and as far as she’s concerned, she never will.
With everyone knowing what happened, and no one really speaking a word of it to Des, but around her, she more or less began spending her time with less and less people- especially those not of her house. She does, however, stick extremely close to a few long time friends and hardly lets them out of her sight. Said friends and Des were sorted into different Houses, and are even of separate years, though they’ve managed to become more or less inseparable throughout the years. This didn't, however, help fend off the horrid nightmares and the like for Des throughout her years. Despite all of this, however, Des had made a firm decision within the final days of her 6th year. She swore she would let the past be the past and push harder for a brighter future.
Since the beginning of her seventh and final year at Hogwarts, she has set about doing just that. Day by day she tries to not even think about her fifth year, much less what happened during Christmas term. Needless to say, things haven't been entirely easy, but she's not letting it get her down. The life changing events had done their damage long enough in the girl's opinion, but now she has decided to let it all go and more or less start anew.
|{ OTHER INFO }
RP EXAMPLE: The Room of Requirement was an odd place. It was only there for those who needed it, and always gave those in need exactly what they needed. It was a place of sanctuary, someplace people could go to hide away from the world and do whatever it was they needed to/loved to do without interruptions from the world around them- unless of course someone else needed into the room desperately for some reason or another, then access was typically granted, the room would accommodate, and all would be well in the world.
For Adessa, she had simply needed a place to hide out where she could be herself for a little while. True enough, she should have been able to do such a thing around her friends and peers, but honestly it was the hardest thing in the world to be herself around the people who cared about her. This was mostly because of how much they reminded her of her old life- before her world was turned upside down. Dessy was not the same person anymore. She had grown and changed drastically. Where the once happy and bubbly girl had been, there was a fairly dark and brooding figure in her place. Now, that's not to say that Adessa was mean or cruel. She was still quite pleasant and had no intentions of harming those around her or to give into the darkness in her heart.
However, there were times when she couldn't handle the temptation to lash out, to explode, to just throw a fit like a small child and attempt to get away with it. Thus why she would tuck herself away inside the Room of Requirement when such feelings got the better of her. She could either practice spells, scream until she was blue in the face, or do what she was doing now...Letting music run it's course through her infuriation. Her ever present, yet always hidden violin was tucked into it's case at her side. Dessy herself was seated atop a small rise of the floor that presented itself as a small state. The room itself was arched and hallowed, so that the sound would reverberate better, thus creating the perfect acoustic proportion for the girl's liking.
Without the fear of having someone listening in on her playing her violin, thus finding out she could do as such and therefore taking that bit of her mother away from her- she had spent at least an hour running through songs and scales until her fingers started to ache. Now, however, she was sat with far too straight posture, her eyes closed and her lips parting on occasion to spill the words to the melody she'd had stuck in her head as of late.
"Soldier boy, soldier boy, where are you going to? Soldier boy, soldier boy, in your coat so fine?"
Of course, the song was a duet, and while Dessy was capable of singing both parts, she didn't particularly like to. So before she had started the session, she had enchanted a near-by statue to sing the male half of the song so that she herself didn't have to. The vocals were a bit deep, but it pleased the redhead regardless.
"I am riding off to war, where the mighty canons roar, where the golden bugle shines. Oh lady fair be mine."
A smile touched Dessy's lips, lifting it at the corners slowly as her seated frame swayed a bit to the slow tune filling the room. "Soldier boy, soldier boy, when will you come again? Soldier boy, soldier boy, in your coat so fine?"
"When the leaves are green again, when the lilacs bloom again. When there is an end to war, then I will come once more."
Slowly Dessy's eyes opened, her mood shifting a bit via her expression to fit the mood of the song. "Seven times, seven more, leaves turned to green again. Lilacs bloomed, every spring, just like before..."
"But there was no end to war, seven years and seven more. Still she waited just the same..."
"But no one ever came..."
As the song dwindled to a close, a sigh left Adessa's lips. She casually lifted her wand, flicking it at the statue to keep it from starting the song over again. Really, it was quite the depressing song, but it fit her so well. Her life...Not to mention the song itself, though a bit dark, was beautiful. It had been a piece her parents used to sing together, thus the deepened vocals she'd enchanted the statue with. It had sung back to her in the voice of her father, which was why it pleased her so much. But now it was done, and the voice was gone, leaving the redheaded Ravenclaw alone, in silence with her thoughts within the folds of the Room of Requirements. ANSWER: Homigawd, that would SO be the fact that ALL of my FAVORITE characters died! I'm not playing! ALL of them! One right after another! OTHER:

Great application, Ellen, but could you edit your RP example and take out the 'code'? It ruins the flow.
[btw: babies?! As in plural? As in more than one! OMG! =D]
