MOTHER: Aldora Waters cares deeply for her family, but has a weird way of showing it. Constantly criticizing her kids and sounding disapproving, when she actually loves them and had their best interests in mind. Her hair is long, black, and wavy. She too is slim, although she's short. Despite her height, or lack thereof, she's feisty. Her eyes are brown like Alaska's. She is an author, and a good one at that.

------------------------------------------------------------CHARACTER HISTORY ------------------------------------------------------------

Early Years:
Al had an odd childhood. Her parents spoiled her, but other kids weren't so kind. She was often teased about her height, as she towered over everyone her age and even some older. This experience traumatized her, and she developed trust issues. Thus, she had scarcely any friends.

Hogwarts Years:
Alaska was friendless years 1-4. Because of this, she remained in the sleeping chamber, studying and reading. This was very lonesome, and she became antisocial. Until year 5, when she met Max. Max was persistent in becoming her friend, and he finally succeeded. He was her only friend, however. They did everything together; they were inseparable. Until he got killed by the Womping Willow.

Adulthood: Unknown

------------------------------------------------------------BEHIND THE CHARACTER ------------------------------------------------------------

ALSO KNOWN AS: Alaska

RP EXPERIENCE: 3 years

HOW YOU FOUND US: Google search: rp websites

MAIN CHARACTER: Alaska Waters

PURPOSE OF CHARACTER: to create a character never known before, with good qualities and bad

RP SAMPLE:
"Come on, Al, lighten up. It'll be fun!"
"If you're sure," I say hesitantly. My best friend Max, who was trying to convince me to sneak off to the Womping Willow with him, succeeded.
"Yes!" he cried, pumping his fist. I rolled my eyes and giggled. We set off, sticking to the shadows so as not to be seen by a prefect or professor. When we arrived, there were other people gathered around the tree, at a safe distance to as not to be whacked. My eyes widen at all the people.
"Max," I hiss, "you know I'm antisocial!" Before he could answer, someone says:

"Max! I dare you to touch the trunk!" Everyone gasps as Max walks towards the tree, before I can stop him. He makes it halfway before we hear a 'CRACK!' I'm frozen in shock as I see my best friend. Skull cracked by a crazy tree. All I feel is numb. People are shouting, but I don't hear them. The next thing I know, I wake up in the hospital. I had blacked out.

Alaska,

Welcome to PA! First, you posted your app three times, so I kept the most recent time you posted it and moved the others.

Second, I'm not clear what you intend the connections to the Weasleys to be. We've been restrictive the last few years on original characters who are related to canon. I am willing to consider it, but I need to know more. Please develop this further if you really want them related to the Weasleys. This family seems to have enough to them that they could stand alone without the Weasley connection and it is well worth considering, I think.

Let me know!

K.

Sorry-
I didn't mean to post it three times. I wrote this on my phone, and it sort of freaked out. I think you're right in saying they don't need to be related to the Weasleys.

Oh, your phone does that too, huh? LOL

Anyway, thats' fine, and I think its a good choice. It looks like a good strong family, and would be something you could build on. Please edit out then the references to the Weasleys.

My phone also doesn't let me edit a post, so could I just create a new post?

I edited it out for you - not to worry.

Thank you - I appreciate it.

Alaska seems to be a Ravenclaw to me--moreso than a Gryffindor.

I appreciate your patience while we get your app sorted.

So, I'll accept her and sort her to Ravenclaw!

Alaska,

I sent you a pm. You must change your user name to your character name before I can finish accepting her.

Instead of alaskawaters, it must be Alaska Waters.

Thanks,
k

Okay I did.
