The Details

Eye Color:Hazel
Any Piercings?just her ears

General Appearance:
At first glance Avery Sainsbury appears to be the popular girl. The girl who would never talk to a geek, or shed a tear for a goth. Her appearance made the boys where she use to live quiver. With long legs and calf muscles galore, she looks girlie and strong. Fairly skinny and with six back abs. Although she has muscles they are not the most predominate feature on her body.
With dirty blonde her a little past her shoulders and broad hazel eyes, Avery is a sight to see. Only about 5’2” her slender build and graceful posture almost demands attention. Although her body doesn’t seem to be mature enough for a 16-year-old girl, she has the physical build of a 13 year old. Her height and muscle mass say different from her other appearances.
Personality:

Avery is a shy and quiet person. Even though she is shy, Avery likes to meet new people and chat. Whether she talks to a goth or a jock, it doesn’t matter to her. Even though she pretends to have a snobby personality sometimes, Avery is a very down to earth person. However, Avery is not without her faults. Her studying habits and her brain get her accused of being a know it all. Avery is not a stereotypical blonde, she loves to read and study. Homework sometimes is her past time. She loves to site in the front of the class and answer questions. Then there is her other issue. Being a 16-year-old Avery is very much into boys. When she talks however, she runs on and on about stuff that people don’t care about. Like what she read in a book, or what happened hundreds of years ago.
Avery is a person who cares more about her appearance then anything. She can be seen always fussing with her hair or putting lip-gloss on. She believes that just because she is smart that she doesn’t have to look like a geek. Very into styles and appearances, She believes that if you have if you should flaunt it. One could say she is kind of conceited. She is very into her self, and looks. Only if the looks pertain to her does she care. Other she could care less what they wear or look like. One of the most questions she asks is “Do I look okay?”

History

Avery was the first-born Child in the Sainsbury family. The first two years of her life where special. Her mother adored her and her father took good care of her. They went to the park and he rocked her to sleep. Samuel was a columnist and her mother was a photographer. At one and a half Avery said her first word and it was ‘da’. Samuel smiled and hugged her. Avery was loved by bother her parents. On her second birthday her mother announced she was pregnant. Samuel became excited and the smile he had was from ear to ear. Mary explained to Avery she was to be a big sister and Avery was excited to have someone to share her life with and play with.

After her brother was born things changed. Samuel cared more for Samuel Jr. then he did Avery. Everything Samuel did was right, and everything Avery did was wrong. Mary loved both her children equally. Avery was the smart one even in first grade. She studied hard and got good grades to show her mom. She thought that if she did good enough in school that her father would pay her attention. But soon Avery noticed it wouldn’t help. No matter what her brother did he was an angel. Jr. burned all her dolls, pushed her around and sometimes locked her out of the house. Avery never understood what was going on.

Mary spent most of her time cleaning in the house and taking care of her children. Samuel Sr. wouldn’t let her discipline Jr. Mary thought if she ignored it that it would go away. Trying to make up for the fact that Samuel didn’t care, Mary bought Avery a dog. The dog was Avery’s only friend outside of school. In school Avery wasn’t the popular one but she wasn’t a cast out either. Angel and Avery were inseparable. Jr. thought it was ridiculous and when his friends came over they would torture his sister and Jr. would just laugh. Even at 12 Avery knew that this was wrong. She was afraid to stand up against her brother for the fact she didn’t want her dad to hate her anymore then he did.

A few times Avery tried to tell people what was going on in her home. But only being 14 no one believed her. They figured that since she was the oldest that maybe she wasn’t getting enough attention and she was acting out. Mary always lied to protect Samuel, for some reason Avery’s mother didn’t want to loose her husband. At fourteen Avery didn’t know what to do. To make things worse she had to look at her mother and know that her mother lied to protect the man who taunted her. Samuel taunted her with the fact that he loved Samuel Jr. more then he loved her. He would pay Samuel Jr. four dollars for something her paid Avery two dollars for. Little things like that.

This went on until Avery turned sixteen. The day everything changed. It was a normal sunny day outside and Avery was playing with her outside cat Snowball as she watched her dog, Angel run around. Inside she heard her mother tell Samuel that Jr. ripped up Avery’s homework. Samuel of course didn’t care, but Mary knew that Avery was and A student and that this would upset her. Samuel laughed and punch Mary in the face. Avery ran into the house when she heard a loud noise. Seeing her mother on the floor Avery became very angry. Soon winds went out of control, hail fell and the next thing she knew her mother grabbed her and took her to the basement. Avery realized that a tornado went threw the house. Samuel Sr. and Jr. appeared to be unharmed and soon she noticed that her mom was crying.

For the one night and a whole day Avery spent the night in a hotel room with her parents and brother. Out of the disaster her Mary decided to get a divorce. Samuel Sr. won Jr. in the divorce, Avery was taken away the day after the tornado by Hammel. Being sixteen she didn’t know what was going on or what had happened. All she had was a picture of her and her mother, and a picture of Snowball curled up next to Angel on her as she arrived at what appeared to be a school.

Roleplay Example

Looking down into her arms Aglaia saw the face of her lover, Elistan. Although he was gone, she looked down at her son. She could have sworn it was Elistan. William was only a toddler, and he couldn't even talk yet. He wobbled around when he walked and his four arms where clumsy still. Her eyes started to water and silent tears slide down her cheek. The sun shown on Williams head making his hair appear blonder then it was. Usually his hair was the identical color of his fathers. One hand fisted in his mouth and the other three were curled in her shirt for dear life. Aglaia couldn't be happier yet sadder at the same time. As she looked up to the sky she saw the clouds starting to roll in, giving promise of rain. Still looking down at her son with tears in her eyes Aglaia wasn't paying attention to where she was looking. The tears clouding her eyes, her thoughts wondering around. Her son on her hip dreaming away.

Her feet still moving as her thoughts started to make her cry even more, like would she be able to tell him about his father, would she meet another man before he could talk. Her heart thumped rapidly at the thought of replacing William's father. Soon Aglaia felt a thump. With tow arms holding her sleeping son, as she started to fall back she gasped. Falling back she grabbed her son with all four arms in order to protect him from the fall. Thankfully the fall wasn't that bad and she just plopped on her butt with a 'humph.' Aglaia unwrapped her hands to reveal her son still sleeping as she looked up at the man she bumped into. Tears where still in her eyes from her thought before.

Not There Yet
Okay, there are some major issues here. First, read this post. And the rest of the FAQ would probably be helpful as well.

Personality: Decent start, but what are her faults? Everyone has some negative personality traits, and that should include Avery.

Secrets: If she used to be a cutter, this also needs to be reflected in her personality and history, in more than one line.

History: Here is where most of the problems are. We are not currently accepting characters whose powers manifested before age eleven.

Weather control is nearly impossible to regulate when it first manifests, Hammel would have found her within days, and they would have taken her in for training.

Also, please fix the coding issues with the sizes, and give us some sort of name to call you by.

Needs Work.
Personality: Still, we need to see some more character flaws. Talking too much is a good one, but there needs to be more. Being smart--even when it gets someone labeled a know-it-all--is not a bad thing.

History:

Weather control is nearly impossible to regulate when it first manifests, Hammel would have found her within days, and they would have taken her in for training.

That means from the first time her powers showed, when she was eleven. That means the rest of her history cannot work out that way.

Also, weather manipulation is not something small-scale. Without great training, a weather manipulator cannot make it rain inside a house, unless it is a greenhouse that already had ample moisture in the air.

And as for the cutting, I encourage you to drop it. Depression and self-harm are serious topics, and they need to be addressed as such in the application. If you want to keep it in, please give us more detail surrounding it. Why did she resort to that? Did she ever tell anyone about her father neglecting her? Let us get into her head some more.

Overall, this application needs detail. It's a good start, but it is still a start. We want to be able to understand what makes your character tick.

ACCEPTED!
Welcome to Hammel, Stefi, and thank you for cooperating with our application process. Go do your CLAIMS and have fun!
