CAMPER FORM


Name: Alice Whitehart
Alias: Hart or Lacey
Age: 10
Gender: Female
Powers: Animal Telepathy
Aura: main color (#9966cc), secondary color (#f7cac9), high frequency

Appearance: A curvy girl with blue eyes framed with purple glasses, caramel skin and white undercut hair. Wears a blue sweetheart neckline dress, but wears a purple baggy hoodie and high top converse. She wears a white/cream colored headband/scarf tied around her head...which resembles bunny ears.

Personality: Open minded girl who craves adventure, she is tomboy through and through. By herself, she can be quiet and unsure about her surroundings at first. Yet, when she feels comfortable, she becomes outgoing and talkative. The only down side is that she doesnt talk about her feelings or voice her opinions all that much and puts others feelings before her own.

History: She lives in a cottage house by the woods, where you could travel on a bike over a bridge to reach the local small town. (The kind of town with farmer markets are held every day and small boutiques.) Inside the the cottage is a place filled with books, her parents writers (her mom a full time professor, so she only comes home on the weekends.) She was named after her mother's favorite childhood book, though that wasn't necessarily Alice's favorite book. Her's were of pirates and thieves with strong female characters.

Though she is close to her parents and they are tight knit and share her love for reading through them. Yet one day when she was playing, she saw a black hare injured and decided to bring it home, her parents allowing her to keep it and take care of it. At first, they dismissed their daughter saying she was able to TALK to the rabbit. But one day, while Alice and her father headed to town to buy more books, her mother lost her engagement ring and was frantic, looking everywhere even when Alice and her father came home. While her father was talking to her mother, Alice came back with the ring and gave it to her mother. Her mother asked her where she found it and Alice simply said, "Sidney said you left it in the rings of your planner and it was under all your lesson plans."

Her mother began to brush it off, until she remembered that she placed it there, EXACTLY like that. Her mother made that a habit to place it in the ring of her binders and close them, so if she did forget to place it back on, it wont get lost, it would be secured. Her father and mother looked at each other before looking at Alice. They decided to test Alice, placing the rabbit, Sidney and Alice in different rooms with mother chaperoning the rabbit and Alice with her father. When Alice kept on getting the answers right, they decided to test the rabbit and was able to go to objects and find items in surprising accuracy.

At this point, they decided not to brush it off that Alice can talk to animals but they dont know what to do either to help Alice.

After a month, her mother came home for the weekend and showed her father and Alice the flyer of a guest speaker that came to the college. It was a flyer for Murmuring Pines Summer Camp. Soon, summer was approaching and they thought it would be an experience for Alice to go. At first, she didn't want to, afraid they were trying to get rid of her but Sidney convinced her to go. Telling her that it was impossible for Alice's parents to get rid of her since they love her so much and that they were only sending her to camp because they aren't special themselves and that they wanted her to grow and experience her powers.

Hence, Alice ending up at Murmuring Pines Summer Camp for the summer.

Hi Chibi, we're incredibly sorry for the delay in feedback!

Alice sounds very cute so far but there's a few things we're confused about or that need to be expanded on before we can give her the go ahead, so please bear with us!

For starters, Alice is a Camper and Campers are only allowed to keep one pet with them, whether it's a live animal or an inanimate object. You have two pets listed. While Alice is still attending camp, you will need to decide on one for her to bring with her and only one. She can later acquire another pet after she grows but she cannot have more than one yet.
- Alternatively, the flower pot need not be excluded so long as you aren't treating it as a pet; what this means is, if you aren't requesting art of the plant then you don't need to make a profile for it and it can just be something included in Alice's personal inventory like any other toys or clothes in her luggage. If that's the case, please include the plant's gifting at the end of Alice's history and not in its own separate pet profile.

Her personality, more importantly, is very minimalist so far. We can't get a good idea of her as a person just yet, so we encourage you to expand on this! Try to shoot for another paragraph at least, if possible.
xxx- Think of things like what hobbies and interests she has; what things does she dislike? How does she feel about her powers? What is her opinion of other psychics? Is she excited, willing, scared, or disinterested about participating in paranormal training at camp?

Alice's history is where we really need you to expand and clarify some things for us, as we found ourselves confused at a few points.
- You say her parents are both writers but only explain her mother's actual occupation (professor). What does her father do specifically?
- Alice didn't seem to react much to the discovery that she was able to talk to animals. Is it just normal for her? How long has she been able to do it for? Think about the very first time she knew she could talk to animals, not just the first time her parents found out about it.
- You explain that Alice has a tight knit, close, and supportive relationship with both of her parents. Suitably, they react to her powers with some surprise and skepticism but not fear or anything especially negative. Why, then, does Alice jump to the conclusion that her parents are trying to get rid of her by sending her to a summer camp? If she is prone to jumping the gun and assuming the worst case scenario despite evidence to the contrary then that needs to be included in her personality. Otherwise, it doesn't seem like this had any reason for happening at all and should be changed or removed.

Other than that, there's only the mild confusion over the rabbit's gender pronouns, and while the message of the profile mostly gets across there are quite a few spelling and syntax errors that caused some confusion and might have lead us to misinterpret what you intended so apologies if we simply misunderstood something that you did explain.

Please let us know when these points are addressed and we will get back to you promptly. Thank you so much for your patience!
