APPEARANCE
------------------------------------------------------------
HAIR COLOR:Chloe gets her blonde hair from her dad. Everyone who looks at her immediately thinks of her dad, who has the same dirty blonde hair. Even the way it's styled is similar, even though they are of different genders. Both have wavy, long hair(although not like extremely long) that is occasionally messy and not styled properly.
EYE COLOR:Chloe's brown eyes are a mystery to her family and friends. Everyone else in her family was gifted with the light green eyes that began to become a trademark of the Connolly family. In this aspect, Chloe is the black sheep of the family. Her eyes are just a normal brown color, not one of those even just slightly flecked with a different(and in Chloe's opinion, better) colors.
HEIGHT: Chloe is a bit on the short side, standing at 5"4 and a half.
BODY TYPE:The best word to describe her body type would be average. She's not one of those super-skinny girls who look like they never eat nor is she one of the more plump girls. If you take those two types together and mix them into something new, you get her.
GENERAL APPEARANCE: Chloe's hair is the most unusual thing about her. It's the color that's the most different. Her hair is a dirty blonde color, which isn't the most prominent hair color in the world. It's naturally wavy, just as her father's is. Her eyes, unlike her hair, is completely average. They're a dark brown color that's quite usual. Chloe is also naturally tan from being out in the sun constantly. Over the years, she discovered that she tans very easily, which she likes. She hates the thought of having pale skin that's barely exposed to the sun. Her clothes, when she's not wearing witch robes, are just jeans and a t-shirt, nothing fancy. She hates dressing up and usually has to be bribed to do so, as her hate runs deep. She's abit on the short side, possibly because she's part-Irish. Because she's Irish, she has a prominent accent that shines every time she speaks. It's impossible to miss, as she speaks quite often. She only has one scar that's usually visible, and that's the scar on her right leg that runs from her heel to a bit above her ankle. It's a light white line that almost seems to disappear in the sunlight. In the absence of natural light, it's quite prominent, though. It's from a biking accident from when she was 7.

BOGGART: her Uncle Darius: she's always been afraid of him. He's her dad's older brother and always hated her small family of four because her dad was famous because he had been a Beater for a famous Quidditch team. He resented that because he was the overlooked one. He visited the house several times, and each time, the whole family was upset because he was a jerk to them.

MIRROR OF ERISED: Chloe always wanted to be a famous Quidditch star like her dad.
PERSONALITY: Chloe is one of those bubbly, happy girls. She's almost always happy and optimistic and tries not to let the bad things get to her. She's not the most outgoing person, though. She's not shy, but she doesn't say everything on her mind. She tends to keep things to herself when something bothers her. She does talk a lot when it comes to other things, though. When it comes to trusting people, Chloe almost immediately trusts everyone she meets. This can be good, for she makes more friends that way, but it can also be a bad thing if someone wants to hurt(mentally and physically) her. She'll let them in, and that will later hurt a lot more in the long run than it would've hurt had she not trusted them in the first place. Chloe isn't that serious at most times. She loves to crack a joke or play around. She's more serious than she was in her third-year, but she still didn't become a serious person. The extent of her seriousness extends to her limiting how often she pulled a prank(which became not that often) and concentrating on her studies a bit more. As a result of this newfound "seriousness," her grades rose slightly, and she didn't get as much detention.
Chloe never really thinks about what she does before she does it. She's very impulsive in those cases. Her motto is "Do now...think never." That motto resulted in a lot of stupid stunts that most people would've never done out of fear. She found out that when you don't think about something before doing it, you tend to have a bit more courage. Perhaps her brazenness was the very reason she was sorted into Gryffindor in the first place. Chloe tends to overreact at problems; say for example, that someone accidently casts a horrible spell on her. Even if they are her best friend, and it was completely an accident, she may not talk to them for weeks. That's just who she is. If someone insults Chloe, they can expect her to insult them right back. She;s definitely not afraid to do that. If someone insults her friends or family, Chloe will also be insulting as well, probably more testily than she would have been had the person insulted her instead of her family or friends.

CHARACTER HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Early Years: Chloe's first memory is of her dad' booming laugh as he watched her shake her rattle. A strange first memory but a memory nonetheless. Chloe, luckily for her, knew about magic from a young age. Her dad used it a lot around the house to help out her mom with housework. Her mom was a Muggle, so she appreciated the help magic provided, even though she could not do it herself. As she fell asleep each night, her dad would tell her stories of magical creatures(which began her love of animals) and spells. Her mom would tell her stories of princesses and dragons, so she got her fair share of Muggle stories as well. Chloe was balanced in a world between Muggles and wizardry, which she liked. In her opinion, she got the best of both worlds. She did both Muggle and magic stuff. With her dad, she learned to ride a broom. With her mom, she learned to ride a bike. Ironically, the Muggle stuff turned out to be more dangerous. When she was seven, she got in a horrible biking accident. Her and a neighbor were both out riding along the street. Her neighbor, who was her age and named Jake, didn't see her riding along the same path, and they collided. Chloe's right foot got caught up in his spokes, breaking her ankle while slicing it clean open. Her dad didn't know any healing magic, so she had to let it heal on her own. She didn't get a limp, but a scar formed. Over the years, she developed a love of animals. She took in stray animals off the street, even though her parents tried to stop her. She fostered them for long periods of time until her mom kicked them out. Each stray lasted about 6 weeks before her mom made her give it away.
When she was 8, her older brother went to Hogwarts for the first time, which made her kealous, since she was learning math while he was practicing magic. He came home wit stories of the magical world, which increased her jealousy a lot. She wanted to be the person who got to do all kinds of magic. She began to have thoughts that she wouldn't get accepted to Hogwarts. her parents kept telling her she would, but she began not to believe them. She basically accepted that she wou;d end up being a Muggle. Then, to her eternal joy, she got her acceptance letter. She danced around the house for days afterwards. To celebrate, her dad got her her first magical animal: an owl. She named it Peanut and began to get ready for Hogwarts.
Hogwarts Years: First year: Chloe was sent off to the train by her mom and dad, both of them wanting to give their final greetings. Her older brother was with her, too, going into his third year as a Hufflepuff. Chloe, who considered her older brother her idol, prayed at the train station that she would be sorted into Hufflepuff, which she thought was the best house because of her brother. With a final goodbye, Chloe stepped onto the Hogwarts Express for the very first time. Her brother abandoned her to go sit with some friends, while she went and met some people herself. Then, when she got to Hogwarts, she got sorted into Gryffindor, despite "telling" the Sorting Hat that she wanted to go into Hufflepuff. It told her that she wasn't suited to that house, and later, Chloe found out that she was right. That year, Chloe did decently in her schoolwork. She was no genius, so she just did decent in her schoolwork. She didn't fail, or even come close to that. She just didn't get the highest marks like the genius Ravenclaws. She didn't get the chance to join the Quidditch team that year because was sick on the day of the tryouts. Her experience there was highly enjoyable, though, so she considered her time there great.
Second year: Being twelve now, Chloe wanted to have more fun at Hogwarts, even though her first year had been cool. Even while honing up on her CoMC(her favorite subject by far) skills, she decided to try to learn a bit in Charms, so that she might be able to cause a bit of mischief and therefore, in her opinion, have more fun. She sort of harrassed the Charms teacher by going to him/her constantly. She got better at the subject and successfully managed to freak out a bunch of first years with a flying banana that would not stop following them. Meanwhile, Chloe was constantly outside, soaking in the sunshine. She loved the peace of being out there, so it became a habit of hers to spend hours out there with her wand. As a result, she got very, very tan. She didn't join the Quidditch team this year either, but she got a lot better by practicing when the field wasn't being used.
Third year: Chloe was officially a teenager now. She spent half the year in detention for a few "harmless" pranks that she had managed to do, even though she was now discovering that Charms might not be her strong suit. She couldn't cast major Charms spells, but the minor ones did the trick almost as well.
Fourth year: Chloe got a bit more serious this year, so the pranks slowed down somewhat. She wasn't completely serious now, but she wasn't as carefree as she had been the year before. Not much more happened in this uneverntful year.
Adulthood: Not adult yet.

OTHER CHARACTERS:None
PURPOSE OF CHARACTER: To further whatever plots need to be furthered.
RP SAMPLE: - Spoiler:
Chloe glanced back at her waving parents with a small sigh; she was a bit relucant to leave this year. It would be the first time her older brother wouldn't be with her waving goodbye, and she hated to lose the only tie to family she had had at Hogwarts. He was on to bigger and better things while she was heading back to school for the fifth time. Waving at her parents like a fool, Chloe stepped onto the train, alone. Trying not to turn back for a last glimpse of her parents, she took a look around at what was going on in the train. Kids of all years were bustling around, trying to find their friends in all the chaos. First-years were looking wide-eyed at everything, at which Chloe rolled her eyes a bit. Ah, the innocence of those first-years. She could still remember being one herself, trying to fit into the wizarding world. She had acheived that, Chloe thought with immense satisfaction.
The vendor lady was trying to breathe amid all the people trying to get chocolate frogs to last for the train ride. Chloe wanted to join them, but it might not be the smartest idea right now. Every single person who was on the Hogwarts Express was crowded around the cart; she decided it would take too long, and she could probably get some later, if there were any treats left. At the rate it was going, there actually might not be any. She sighed and pushed through the crowd, using her trunk to gain leverage in the supposedly unyielding crowds of young witches and wizards. She accidently knocked down a first-year boy who had been glued to the spot(literally, some other kid had managed to do that to the poor boy).
Feeling bad for the kid, Chloe helped him up. She had actually freed him by knocking him over, which made her feel a bit better. She smiled warmly at him, and he hesitantly smiled back. With a nod, she began trying to get to any compartment. The first one she looked in was jammed pack, with a bunch of what looked like Hufflepuffs crammed inside. Chloe supposed they wanted to get off the train first while getting to stick together. It made since. Well, not really. Everyone was going to get off the train no matter what; a little bit of extra waiting time never hurt anyone. Smirking slightly, Chloe walked on. The next compartment had open spaces, but a few Slytherins in it. Gryffindor and Slytherin had been natural enemies for a long time, so Chloe decided it would be best not to go in there.
