First and Last Name: Vanessa Jones
Bloodline: Half-blood
Hair Color: Very light (almost white) blonde
Eye Color: Clear crystal blue
General Build: Petite
Height: Short

Birthplace: Ballycastle, Ireland
Brief Childhood History: Vanessa was born to a large Irish family; her parents had already had four boys before her. She was doted on by her brothers, and they were very protective of her when it came to anyone hurting her. Her parents owned an inn, and expected all their children to help out, including Vanessa.

Vanessa spent her time either waitressing in the inn, or wandering the countryside, exploring the forest behind her house extensively. It wasn't uncommon to see her limping back to the house with scratched up her legs, after falling out of one tree or another.

Growing up, her family didn't own a television, and their house was quite isolated from towns, so Vanessa had nothing to do except help out at the inn, read or explore. This is why if you ask her a question about Irish folklore and old castles, she will invariably know the answer. Besides her father, who gave up magic for his unsuspecting Muggle wife, Vanessa is the only magic person in her family.

Strengths (Including Personality and Academic): Vanessa can strike up a conversation with almost anyone; she grasps concepts and ideas quickly; Charms; Herbology
Weaknesses (Including Personality and Academic): She often forgets her actions have consequences, and acts without thinking; she has a very fiery temper, especially when someone insults a person she loves; she is terrified of storms; History of Magic; Astronomy
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why: Ravenclaw, because she is smart. She enjoys learning new things, especially about the things she loves, and devours books like a lion would meat. She knows how to keep herself entertained.

Hi there! Welcome to HPRPG!

So your sheet looks great for the most part, but there is just one very tiny issue. Instead of using semi-colons to separate the various characteristics in the strengths and weaknesses section — which invariably makes it into a super-list, please use periods and form them into complete sentences.

Once you've done that, 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! ;)
