Character Personality
General Personality [2+ PARAGRAPHS]:
Caitlyn is a somewhat abnormal Hufflepuff, as she has qualities of all four houses. She's cunning, smart, loyal, and hardworking, respectively like the Slytherins, Ravenclaws, Gryffindors, and Hufflepuffs. However, she's not cruel or mean. She's not a genius and she hates studying. She's not brave. So where did that leave her to? Hufflepuff. Caitlyn fits in despite her abnormal qualities quite well, as she still possesses the Hufflepuff qualities. Cait is a sweetheart and really cares for people around her, she would stop doing what she was doing to help someone and she's extremely hardworking in the things she wants to excel in. Caitie is also extremely loyal to her house, friends, and family.
One thing you'll learn about Cait is that she hides most of her emotions. She constantly is hyper and happy on the outside, but often on the inside she's afraid. Her blindness makes her paranoid about everything. But she hides it from anybody, the only person who can see through her facade is her sister Kirstin.

General Appearance [2+ Paragraphs]:
Caitlyn takes after her family in looks. Her genetic light blonde hair falls just past her shoulders. Cait's hair is straight, but it does seem to have a slight wave to it. Caitie has her father's big, light blue eyes, but unlike her father she was born blind. She has a very pale ivory complexion with light pink, rosy cheeks. Caitlyn has very crooked teeth, some of which are still growing in. She has yet to loose all of her teeth.
Caitlyn is fairly tall for her young age of eleven. When she stands straight, Cait is five feet and two inches. She has a slender, elegant build with long limbs and fingers. She typically wears casual clothes, jeans and a soft shirt. Since her sensitivity is more than others, she often wears clothes that are very soft so they dont irritate her skin. Over that, Cait often wears wizard robes as she likes to feel like a witch, even though she still hasnt actually been to Hogwarts.

History [3+ Paragraphs]:
Caitlyn Raine Bristow came into the world at 4am on April 4th, 2035. The midwives and nurses at St. Mungo's took her away from Jaslene to clean her up and preform the correct spells to keep Caitlyn healthy. Doing the examination, they noticed something was wrong with her sight right away. A nurse went back to the family, a grim expression set upon her face, reporting that their child was blind. Craig stared in horror and fear for his youngest child while Jaslene broke down and cried.
Caitlyn grew up being treated differently, with more care. Honestly, she hated it. She wanted to be treated like everyone else, as she was just the same as everyone else really. Her lost sight was made up for her excelled senses which she had, especially hearing and smell. Cait didn't mind being blind, so she thought that other people shouldn't care either. It's all she knew, but she still wished their poor family could afford the magical eyes. Since Mad-Eye Moody's time, they had made great advances in the technology, but even the crudest made were hundreds of Galleons which their family couldn't spare. Both of her parents were Squibs and the Muggle economy was suffering, which meant less of a pay check, which meant they just couldn't afford the magical eyes.
When Caitlyn was five, Kirstin went off to Hogwarts. She was absolutely devestated that her older sister, and best friend, had left her. Kirstin was the only one who would treat Caitlyn normaly, despite her blindness. Once Kirstin left, Caitlyn tried to distract herself by picking up new hobbies. The only thing she could really do with her disability was music, so she started playing the cello. Caitlyn was a prodigy, quickly advancing. By the time she was 10, many people were predicting her to be the next cello mastermind. Her parents were relieved that Caitlyn found a Muggle way to support herself, as she had showed no noticable signs of being a witch. They feared Caitlyn was also a Squib. In all honesty, the only reason Caitlyn was so good at playing the cello is because she was able to stretch her fingers, though she wasn't aware of the fact.
Then there came the fateful day of her eleventh birthday. Caitlyn spent most of the day outside, waiting for a Hogwarts letter of acceptance. She waited and waited, and as the hours passed by her parents grew more sure of the fact she was a Squib. As the sun was setting, the owl came along with her letter. Caitlyn got the present she wanted, to be a witch. She was estatic and that summer she went to Diagon Alley for the first time, getting all of her school supplies with Kirstin and Jake. She wanted to be a Ravenclaw, like Kirstin, but Caitlyn knew that she wasn't cut out for it after the stories about the house. In her mind, she thought she didn't fit in Slytherin or Gryffindor either. Too kind for Slytherin, not brave or courageous enough for Gryffindor, and not smart enough for Ravenclaw. Caitlyn knew then that she would be sorted into Hufflepuff, just by elimination.
Role-Play Sample [2+ Paragraphs:
Adamina's eyes widened as she saw who was approaching them. Before he got too near, she whispered into Ashlynn's ear, "Look who's coming to talk to us! Jackson O'dea! He's mighty attractive."
Almost as soon as she was done whispering, Jackson was there. "Hello ladies," he said to them, taking a seat in between them.
"Hell-o, Jackson O'dea," Addie said, a flirtatious air in her words. "Ditching your newest conquest, I see? I s'pose you needed better company than that girl, eh?" she asked jokingly. Well actually, Adamina wasn't joking at all, but it didn't sound that way. "What is she? A fourth year?"
Addie gazed into his eyes longingly. He was so cute and way funny. Ads had had a crush on Jackson since fourth year, three years ago. You would think it would have disappeared by now, but each day it seemed to grow stronger. But in all reality, Addie knew she had no real chance with him. He was into pretty, popular girls which Adamina wasn't. Sure, she had a lot of friends. But most thought she was loud, obnoxious, and frankly weird. Addie didn't care though. She was who she was and she wouldn't change for anybody. Not even Jackson O'dea. If he was to fall for somebody like her, it would probably be Ashlynn.
Ashlynn Winters. Her best friend in the world. But the thought of Ashlynn and Jackson together was repulsive. Ash knew of her major crush on Jackson, and if she went out with him Addie didnt know if their friendship would last. Because that, that would be betrayal that Addie would find unforgivable.
