First and Last Name: Evelyn Bailey
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bloodline: Muggleborn
Hair Color: Dirty Blonde
Eye Color: Blue
General Build: Petite
Height: Short
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Birthplace:Edinburgh
Brief Childhood History:She was bullied in primary school for being small, shy and a hard-worker. She only had two 'friends' but they were never what you would call 'close', so she wasn't too sad to find out that she would leave them. She used to spend most of her time in her room reading. She wasn't very close with her mum and dad as they were both sporty types and weren't into books. However, she was very fond of her grandmother, who she used to borrow a number of classic books from.
While her parents are worried about her going to a strange school her grandmother encouraged her and looks forward to hearing all about her first year in a school for magic. Evelyn has never really had any close friends so she is yet to find out if she is loyal to people. You could call her naïve because she hasn't had much experience with people and most of her ideas about the world come from the books she reads.
When she got her Hogwarts letter, she hunted through piles of books to find a reference to witchcraft, wizardry or Hogwarts school. She found nothing, to her dismay. This made her doubtful as to whether it was real- this wouldn't be the first time she'd been the subject of some school prank. However, when a Ministry of Magic representative Evelyn realized this was genuine, and very exciting- she was please to be rescued from enduring seven years of torture in the local secondary, and not only that, she felt special, like her hard work was being rewarded.

Strengths
Evelyn will have an interest in potions; she likes the way there are exact amounts and recipies for things, and is fascinated by what a simple mixture of odd ingredients can do. Being a muggle born, Evelyn is clueless as to anything about the wizarding world, and is eager to find out the history behind what she is learning in all of her other classes and the castle she lives in, which is why History of Magic will be a strong subject for her. Evelyn is very honest, and tries to be her own person. Though she comes across as shy, she knows herself well and is determined to not let others shout her personality down. She is very driven to be the person she wants to be, and realizes that she cannot change other people and the way they behave, only herself and how she acts. She is very focused and this means that inside she is very secure in who she is.
Weaknesses:
Evelyn has no experience seeing magic used in day-to-day life and is nervous to be seen failing in front of the class and this is why she will struggle in Charms classes. She is uncomfortable with wand movements and is still getting to grips with the idea of using magic in the first place. Not only does she find it hard to have confidence in casting spells, she will find Transfiguration difficult, as she worries about the rats and other creatures she has to transform, fearing that if she gets it badly wrong she will harm them. Evelyn does not look forward to muggle studies classes in years 3 and above. She's sure she'd do well in tests, having been basically a muggle for eleven years, but she wants to learn about the wonders of the magical world, not the bleak, empty life she left behind. Evelyn comes across as being snobbish and withdrawn because she finds it hard to talk to people without feeling very nervous. She respects and admires lots of people around her but doesn't have the courage to talk to them, which often makes such people dislike her more than if she had just tried to talk to them. One of her main personal goals is to overcome her shyness.
What House Evelyn should be in and why: Evelyn should be sorted into Ravenclaw house because she is intelligent, wise and possesses a lot of common sense. She is very thoughtful and considers her actions carefully. She has attention to detail and regards precision and understanding highly. For these reasons she is a strong Ravenclaw candidate.

Heya Evelyn and welcome to HPRPG~!
Everything looks good, however I need you to change one thing: could you please remove the separation in her strengths and weaknesses and turn it all into one, or two, regular paragraphs rather than having them almost list-like?
Once you've made the change just change the title from 'pending' to 'edited' and we'll continue from there. <3

All done! Hope it's ok...
