First and Last Name: Tai Ockley
Bloodline: Pureblood
Hair Color: dark brown
Eye Color: brown
General Build: thin, but athletic
Height: 4'11''
Birthplace: Cambridge
Brief Childhood History:
Her parents, June and David met in school, they were both in the Slytherin house as was tradition in both of their families. June and David were both blood purists and raised their only child, Tai, with such views. She grew up with a sense of superiority, not just for being a pureblood but for coming from a long line of Slytherin. Now, her parents weren't exactly the loving type, Tai can count on one hand the number of tender moment she's had with her parents and still have fingers to spare. They also raised her under the impression that emotions were weakness and to show people your emotions is to allow them to gain something over you. She is well practiced in keeping a monotone voice and making sure that her facial expressions aren't anything past microscopic when she smiles or frowns.
They were quizzing her on things that she'd better know for school before her letter came, and when it finally did there wasn't much excitement at the Ockley house. Tai simply sighed an, "About time," glanced over the words, and placed it on her father's desk. Her parents then commented that they'd have to go shopping soon and then went back to their lives.
Past the eerily non responsive attitude of the child, one of the more stranger things would have to be her wardrobe choice. Tai never matches, unless highly stressed. When she was younger she was curious to see what Muggles actually looked at and requested a trip from her parents. Unsure of what to wear and assuming they were odd looking, she dressed herself in a variety of mix-matching patterns. While she was sorely disappointed to see that they weren't in fact knuckle dragging apes, but instead looked very similar to her, Tai did take great joy in all of the attention that she received thanks to her odd looks. Since then she's refused to match her clothes, and her parents haven't faulted her much so long as she makes her marks and dresses nice when need be. So long as she is the best in every way that's important, they are fine with their daughter's odd choice in clothing, or fine enough at least.
Strengths (Including Personality and Academic):
She is very honest, and loyal to those she deems worthy. Extremely book smart due to lots of quizzing by her parents while she was growing up, and highly competitive as well. In the Ockley home, the only place that mattered was first, everything else was last place in their minds thus she had to do her best to be the very very best. She will give each person a fair chance to prove themselves when she first meets them,but they have to work very hard afterwards if they mess that up. Very patient and respectful towards her elders and superiors.
Weaknesses (Including Personality and Academic):
Very serious, she doesn't see the point in certain tasks that other kids delight in, such as playing with hair or collecting cards from chocolate frogs; this makes it very difficult for her to relate to kids her age. Muggle studies may never be a class she takes seriously as she views it as pointless in every way. She doesn't socialize very well at all, and sometimes (okay, near all the time) her very blunt comments can be taken as an attack and makes it even harder for her to relate to kids. Has a very weak stomach, will faint if she sees blood. Is self critical. More on the judgmental side due to her upbringing.
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why: Slytherin (willing to wait)
She has a huge sense of superiority and comes from a very long line of Slytherin as well. While she is honest, she's also willing to just honestly admit that the rule was stupid so she did it her way. Not exactly the warm and cuddly type, she prefers to be on her own and if she doesn't like you she wont hesitate to throw you in front of the bus.

Heya Sara and welcome back to HPRPG~! :biglove:
However, before we can sort you, there are a few things that need editing. First, we ask that you use one of the three given adjectives given for the 'general build' and 'height' rather than exact measurements and the like. Could you also double-space between the paragraphs in her history to make it a bit easier to read? ^^;
As for her strengths and weaknesses, it comes across semi-list-like in the manner the sentences are written. For example: 'has a very weak stomach, will faint if she sees blood' wouldn't sound so list-like if it were written 'she has a very weak stomach and will faint if she sees blood', if that makes sense?
And lastly, she still needs an academic strength.
Once you've made the above edits just change the title from 'pending' to 'edited'.

As it's been over two weeks since we've last asked you to make changes, I'm going to deny this character sheet for now. Please feel free to post your sheet again at a later date with the requested changes! ;)
