[ARTEMISIA CHERRY WILLIAMS]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 400px; height: 600px; border-left: 10px solid #c0b0a1;] Welcome to your site young blood ARTEMISIA CHERRY WILLIAMS [/style] [style=font-family:times; font-size:10; letter-spacing: 6px; line-height: 2px color:#c0b0a1; text-transform:uppercase; font-style: italic; ] you're a wizard, harry nicknames: Artemis or Cherry date of birth: March 11, 1966 age: 13 gender: Female sexual orientation: Bisexual occupation: Student bloodstatus: Pureblood financial status: Semi rich year: Third year house: Gryffindor wand: Oak, dragon heartstring, 8 3/4 inches, bendy allegiance: Neutral canon: No Tell Us a little about how you look height: 5'2 weight: 134 lbs. hair: Long, dark curly brown eyes: Green distinguishing features: Birthmark of a butterfly on her left shoulder blade intended face claim: Jodelle Ferland overall: Artemisia stands at 5'2. She is not overly pretty, but she does have a hint of beauty about her. She doesn't flaunt her good looks, but she uses what she has in time of need. She weighs around 134 lbs or so, but looks smaller than that. That is because Artemisia has some curves to her, but she isn't overly strong or muscular. Her normal style of clothing is comfort, except when she's in school. During school hours she is wearing the school uniform with the Gryffindor colors. When school isn't going she is wearing some muggle clothes she took a fancy to. Her favorite colors include blue, silver, white, and yellow. She wears these colors whenever she isn't in classes and isn't afraid to show them off. This girl has a small birthmark on her left shoulder blade of a butterfly. She's never really like it so she never showed it off. To her it makes her seem like a freak. On occasion, Artemisia will tie her hair back in a ponytail and whenever it comes down the curls are even tighter than before. Why? She does not know. and then a little about yourself likes: Reading, Gryffindor, keeping to herself, writing, and animals dislikes: Slytherins, any boy who flirts with her, Potions, sunny days, and show offs strengths: Potions, Charms, Astronomy, Care of Magical Creatures, and Transfigurations weaknesses: Quidditch, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Divination, History of Magic, and Herbology boggart: The unknown (anything and everything) erised: To return home to her own time overall personality: Artemisia is smart yet alone. She doesn't try to make friends nor does she want to. If someone somehow becomes her friend then she doesn't fight it, but Artemisia doesn't actively go out to hunt for any kind of friends. She has always been alone and its the way its going to stay. This girl does, however, care about others and will try to help them the best she can. She is fairly good at her classes and if anyone needs help she will offer some tutoring service for them so they can get better. The moment Artemisia realized she wasn't from her time anymore she was afraid and unsure of herself. The girl had always been afraid of the unknown and tried to stay away from it. Magic was different because she had grown up around it. She had heard of time turners, but this? This was beyond scary and terrifying. The girl loathes anything different and unusual and just wishes she were safe and sound back at home. Artemisia does fairly well in her classes and has some favorites and not so favorites. She doesn't like Potions, but she found herself to be really good at it so she made sure to continue getting good grades. Artemisia was always into getting good grades and doing everything in her power to keep those good grades. Anything lower than an Acceptable always infuriated Artemisia. Artemisia isn't the kind of person to run screaming from something terrifying, but she also isn't going to stick around either. This also applies to making friends. She won't go "Be my friend!" in a high pitched voice, but she will try to learn more about them and hope to gain their trust. Sometimes, however, Artemisia had trouble making friends. When this happens she becomes frustrated as to why making friends is so hard. Fighting is not something that Artemisia cares about. However, if someone is in danger she will risk her neck for them. To her life is precious and not to be wasted. All life means something wonderful for the future. She enjoys helping others the best she can and when it doesn't work she knows that it is probably for the best. Artemisia was never particularly close to her sister. She and her sister were pretty much estranged while growing up. The girl would die for her sister if push came to shove, but she wasn't exactly known for hanging out with her sister at The Three Broomsticks. Sometimes Artemisia would get help from her sister for a certain class, but that was it. Nothing more besides studying partners. Artemisia is a very strange person indeed. history your family and such parents: Thomas Williams (father, 47, ministry worker) and Arabelle Williams (mother, 45, shop waitress (for witches and wizards)) siblings: Tara Williams (32, sister, writer for the Daily Prophet) pets: Elf Owl named Tiny born: March 11, 1966 overall history: Artemisia was the second child born to Thomas and Arabelle Williams. Her older sister, Tara, was the insanely smart one in the family and it wasn't a surprise when she went into Ravenclaw when her time came to go to Hogwarts. For years, Artemisia watched magic being used around her. Even she used magic and her parents tried to help her with keeping it under control... at least until she would be able to get to school. When Artemisia was finally 11 she went to Hogwarts and was sorted into Gryffindor. Her magic soon came under control and the girl found herself enjoying her school life. She did not make friend and only spoke to her sister when she really needed help. Artemisia and Tara had never been particularly close and it definitely showed. The first two years of Artemisia's life had been fairly uneventful besides some class drama. Her third year is when the fun REALLY started. For as long as Artemisia was aware she had always been afraid of the unknown so what had happened in her third year was extremely surprising and distressing. Two months into the school year she fell asleep and woke up somewhere else. The girl was terrified and was unsure of what to do. Ministry officials, Aurors, came to her and explained all that had happened. They told her they would find someone who would take care of her while she was in this point in time. That was when Artemisia learned that the year was 1995. She should have been turning 30 by now! Needless to say, Artemisia is filled with terror. Suddenly an unlikely person came forward. After nine days of being missing, her parents just assumed she had probably been killed and her body never found, Artemisia never figured it would be them. No. Artemisia's parents wouldn't have been able to handle the strain of having a young Artemisia living with them again. No the Aurors contacted another in hopes that they would agree to become guardian to the girl. The unlikely person was Tara, Artemisia's older sister! This was a shock to Artemisia because she knew that she and her sister had not always gotten along and were not exactly close. When Artemisia had gone missing, Tara had never given up, not yet anyway. The Department of Mysteries had come to her explaining that if she accepted she could tell NO ONE of what was about to transpire. This had peaked Tara's curiosity and she accepted. Now that she had accepted she had been brought in to sign important papers and other documents. That was when she found out what was so important that she not say anything. It wasn't public knowledge and Tara was never going to say anything. Luckily for her she had grown distant from her parents after Artemisia's disappearance. Tara knew how much her sister hated the unknown and would do her best to keep her comfortable. now for the person behind the character alias: Shinska age: 22 experience: 12ish years where'd you find us?: Forgot anything to add?: Minerva and Aeron are my other two charries lastly the roleplay sample See Minerva [style=padding-right:5px; padding-left:9px; font-family:georgia; font-size:10; letter-spacing:0px; color:#fff;line-height:10px; text-align:center; border-left:0px dotted black; text-transform:uppercase; padding-bottom:0px; text-shadow: 0 0 0.2em #F87, 0 0 0.2em #F87;] Credit goes to MDIZZLE FO RIZZLE at Caution 2.0

All fine and good. We just have one issue with your history. We aren't sure how her father wouldn't know, since her future self would have been reported missing. The Time Turner Catastrophe isn't a public thing yet, so no one is aware it happened. The Ministry is trying to keep it hush hush, and requests that all people who are to become custodians of anachronisms to keep it a secret as well, at least until the Ministry can determine how to better handle the situation. We figure as much that her father would become her custodian, or at least some sort of next of kin, and their family would be well aware of what occurred, and would be under Ministry pressure to keep it quiet. If you could just clear this up in your history, we would be more than glad to take Artemis. <3

Hi Shinska! Just a reminder about what Devvi said! The catastrophe that occurred within the Department of Mysteries is not public information. The only ones that really know about what is happening are the people involved, a few members of the ministry (including Aurors and Unspeakables), and those that are getting custody of the anachronistic characters. This makes most of the third paragraph of your history make little sense, with the exception of your character being terrified. You phrase this paragraph as if her father knows what is going on and that the Ministry is somehow able to predict his reaction to her return. He doesn't and they wouldn't. If you would like her released into someone other than her father, please have another reason. As for the last part of your edit, if someone in the Ministry released anything they would be fired- point blank- and there would be a recovery project to keep this all quiet. I could be plausible that Tara is given custody of her sister at this time without anything convoluted occurring. Of course, because her future self is missing as well, the only reason her family would have been notified would be because she was found in this state.

I would also, personally, like to see a bit more expansion on her personality. I understand that she likes privacy and academics and detests change. In three paragraphs, however, that's all you've really focused on. The personalities of anachronistic characters, and their histories, are pivotal points to many events occurring on this site. Each anachronistic character is brought forward in time for a reason.

Please keep all this in mind while editing your application.

♥ you!
