Racer Lilly Black

Racer Lily Black - Approved [H]
« on: 23 Nov 2011, 04:10 pm »
First and Last Name: Racer Lilly Black


Bloodline: Half
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Grey
General Build: Average
Height: Average


Birthplace: Coventry, Warwickshire, East Midlands
Brief Childhood History: Racer (aka by her family as Ace) grew up on a muggle estate on the west side of the city of Coventry, with her mother and father. Racer's mother, Alison was a witch and her father, Garry was a muggle. Racer had had a little brother but sadly he'd passed away when he'd been only little.
Racer had gone to muggle school at the request of her father and had learnt lots about his world. Although she enjoyed school Racer had never fitted in, she always said, "They know I'm a witch mummy." When the other girls had pulled her hair and called her 'freak'. On Racer's seventh birthday she got the bully that the class had been afraid off, as she'd opened her back pack Racer had made everything shoot out of it so fast it made the girl scream and drop it. Alison was so proud but there was a bit of an issue with the Ministry of Magic. Although on the other hand her mother always said she would go to Hogwarts when she turned eleven.
After she'd turned eleven in April, Racer would wait by the kitchen window all summer for the letter from Hogwarts. Alison would show her how to make potions and handle Devil's Snare to prepare her for school.
Once Racer had got her letter from school they went shopping the very next day for School supplies. Practically shaking with excitement she picked out her own owl - a Barn owl with big yellow eyes - and called it Phyllida after the author of one of her text books. After getting all her equipment Alison and Gary took Racer to get her wand, 12" Elder, Dragon Hearstring, Whippy.


Strengths (Including Personality and Academic): Racer is Athletic giving her skill as a beater or chaser for a Quidditch team but she is also Ruthless on the pitch and off. Loyal to friends, family and the innocent - Racer always tries to do the right thing. Cheerful, just on principle. Racer will be good at Herbology, Potions and DADA.
Weaknesses (Including Personality and Academic): Judgemental and a bit sarcastic. Racer's parents had always wandered where she got this trait from but they put it down to how Ruthless Racer was with herself and other people. Gary said it is because "Racer has grown up with a strong willed mother". Alison said "Its down to those mean girls at that school!"
Racer doesn't like Transfiguration because it requires the type of concentration she lacks and she didn't know they had History of Magic lesson ...
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why: Not Gryffindor Racer is brave but she is not totally brave - she knows when to run away. Not Slytherin because Racer is kind and loyal. Not Ravenclaw because Racer is not at all as smart as she would like. Racer is a Hufflepuff where she fits in with every one else.

Heya Racer and welcome to HPRPG~!

However, before we can sort you, there's a few things that need editing~ ^^ First and foremost, you registered as Lilly, with two l's, but in the sheet you only put one. Could you add another 'l' to match the name you registered with? Otherwise you'll have to re-register with the proper name. ^^

Second, in her history you mention she flew from the jungle gym and... well, actually flying isn't exactly... plausible, even with uncontrolled magic. So maybe reword that or take it out entirely? And third, could you give us a few more personality weaknesses? Judgemental and sarcastic is a good start, but maybe add in why she's like that~?

Once you've made the above changes just swap the title from 'pending' to 'edited'.

(Also, please don't add 'pending' on your own. We'll add that once we've taken care of your application. Adding 'pending' before you're actually pending could cause your wait to take a bit longer in the future. ;))

I've made the adjustments you asked for but I was just wandering if I could say that HP characters can fly. e.g. Voldemort and Snape and a lot of the characters in the movies etc. That's my only reference but I wanted to express it like when Lilly jumped off the swing at the park. Do you see where I was going?

I knew where you were going, yes, but you have to take into consideration that that's the movies vs. book canon. ;) Snape didn't actually fly and Voldemort, well... he's not exactly comparable to an underage witch. You'd need a broom to fly~ <3 Thank you for editing, though!
