[/color][/font]Nymphadora Teaghan Raven
“Girls do what they want.”[/center]
NAME:[/color]
Nymphadora - "Gift of the Nymphs" Nymphadora's a fan of her name seeing as the Earth and it's well being are a big deal to her, however she prefers to be called "Dora"
Teaghan - "Little Poet" This also describes Dora quite well seeing as she tends to just have a poetic grace around the way she talks and moves.
Raven - The last name given to herself upon joining the Cirque. It's suiting seeing as she, like most ravens, she's devoted to her 'family' even if she does enjoy fights and other mischief making.
APPARENT AGE:[/color] Dora appears to be somewhere in her high teens or lower twenties, helpful for her when she wants to go to a party or get into something she normally wouldn't be able to. Namely, bars.
REAL AGE:[/color] Just recently Dora turned seventeen.
GENDER:[/color] Dora is one hundred percent female and pretty proud of it. Don't try to tell her what girls can and can't do.
SEXUALITY:[/color] She claims to be asexual, not wanting relationships (she's scared of 'em), but when Dora drinks, she's known to act Bi.
RACE:[/color] 'Freak', but relatively human.
SIDE:[/color] Dora prefers to not take a side with anyone.
CANON OR ORIGINAL:[/color] Original.
i'm creeping my way out
so you can see me
so you can see me
HAIR:[/color] Naturally Dora's hair is a chestnut brown and in waves. She wears it about mid back normally and has added platinum blonde streaks to it. She's given up on trying to tame it, instead wearing it down or in a braid to the side. When she's putting on her act as a fortune teller, she ties trinkets like feathers, charms, and beads into it to add to her wild appearance.
EYES:[/color] Dora's eyes are of a strange sort. They've never really been able to decide what color they want to be, seeming chocolate brown some days, yet a hazelly green on others. They're large and when she does her makeup right, they give her ethereal physique, working just perfectly with her gypsy facade.
HEIGHT:[/color] 5'0"
BUILD:[/color] Dora's built with curves aplenty, overall just soft. She's not skinny, but certainly not obese. She likes her food, but also enjoys a good jog. Her figure would probably be described as hour glass.
DISTINGUISHED BY:[/color] The first thing many people notice about Dora are all of her tattoos, which you can see here. She's also got her left ear pierced four times and the right three, along with her nose on both sides as well as her septum. Her theory behind this is you're only young once, savor it.

FULL DESCRIPTION:[/color] Dora's appearance is normally unkempt, her hair going in all directions, covered in tattoos and normally wearing a too big t-shirt and a pair of shredded jeans or cut off shorts, some form of dirt or mud attached to her due to her love of gardening. She doesn't care though, appearance doesn't really matter in a normal day, however when it comes to night time and she switches to fortune teller mode, she looks mysterious, swathed in colorful cloths and sparkling coins with feathers and other such things threaded into her wild hair. She's hard to miss.

PERSONALITY:[/color] Although her appearance may be a bit frightening, Dora is really one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. She's trustworthy, though she probably won't trust back, and you can always count on her for a good time. It's impossible to be sad around her with her bubbly personality and sweet disposition. However, she's known to have bouts of depression and when she's in one of those modes you don't want to mess with her. She very rarely gets truly angry, however she has been known to be quite cruel to anyone who tries to reach her at these times. What else should you know? Well she doesn't really do love. It scares her, and nothing else does. Just love. She thinks she's a horrible person and therefore doesn't want to hurt someone else that she cares about.

PARENTS:[/color] She has parents, however she doesn't remember them nor does she care to.
SIBLINGS:[/color] Unkown to her, however she does have a sister.
RELATIONSHIPS:[/color] None.
HISTORY:[/color] Unbeknownst to Nymphadora, she was born to a pair of Circus performers, who because of their rigorous schedules and love for the circus gave her up for adoption feeling that their daughter would be better in a different home, then the one they could provide for her. From day two at the orphanage, it was certain there was something strange about the daughter of the performers. They didn't have much to do with her, but that was just fine with Dora, she had other things to busy herself with, like figuring out what the hell these things that she saw in her mind were.
However, a child can only be ignored for so long before it really begins to bother them. Dora became rebellious, getting her first tattoo "We're all mad here." At only age eleven, (the parlor was rather shady, who else would give her a tattoo? Although she's always looked older than her age, she didn't look that old). That same year, the Cirque Du Freak came to town. It sounded like something she wasn't supposed to be consorting about with, so she stopped over and that was the last the orphanage ever saw of her. Mr. Tall saw her gift and welcomed her with open arms. She's never looked back, the Cirque are her family now, the rest of her life she's tried to forget and she won't talk about it. With anyone, ever.

NAME/NICKNAME:[/color] Carsyn's dandy.

TIME ZONE:[/color] -6
RP SAMPLE: [/color]Ginny had never been a fan of uniforms. She grimaced as she adjusted her collar in the mirror and rolled her sleeves up on her shirt and sweater before yanking a brush through her long red tresses. Uniforms didn't allow any uniqueness in the students, it made things rather boring at times. She pulled her tie over her head and tucked it into her sweater, deeming herself alright as she picked up her bag and slung it over her shoulder.
Life had been so much better lately. Not only had she gotten out of her relationship with Dean, she'd also gotten into one with Harry. She'd never though that he would like her back, she was just his best friend's younger sister, who was she to him when he could have any other girl that he wanted? Turns out she'd misjudged and it was bliss. Sure Harry could be awkward, but he was sweet and his heart was always in the right place. Being with him just kind of felt right and she was on Cloud Nine, not planning on coming back to Earth any time soon. She was lucky and knew of loads of girls who would give their left arm to be in her place. It was bizarre for her, though, to actually be happy in the relationship. All of her other relationships had just been to date because she should.
In a way, though, it felt wrong for her to be this happy in a time of such despair. The wizarding world was fighting a losing battle and the Dark Lord and his minions slowly, but surely took over the Ministry and killed everyone who opposed him. No one even risked anything and more and more students were being pulled from Hogwarts, even more than her first year in which she'd been possessed by Voldemort and accidentally opened the Chamber of Secrets. Not a highlight of her school career, however it was the beginning of her admiration of Harry. She owed him her life really and she would do anything to make sure he stayed as safe as he could in return.
Ginny's feet had lead her to the Great Hall, obviously they were listening to her stomach much better than her mind had while it'd wandered back a few years. She looked around a moment and spotted Neville sitting by himself. She approached and noticed him daydreaming as she sat down next to him. She raised an eyebrow before helping herself to a glass of pumpkin juice. "You don't mind if I sit here, do you? Or am I interrupting?" She asked smiling at him before taking a sip of her juice. She considered Neville a fairly good friend of hers, he was one of the sweetest boys she'd ever met and they'd even gone to the Yule Ball together two years ago. He'd been a perfect date and she would be ecstatic if he'd find a girl that was perfect for him. He deserved it with a heart of gold like his.
