Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Charlotte Lucille Durand

Nickname: She prefers to go by Charlie, since Charlotte sounds too sophisticated for her personality. Her father and little sister Claudia call her Cici.

Age: 18

Birthday: May 29th

Sign: Gemini

Gemstone: Emerald

Blood Type: B-

Fav. Food: Dark chocolate, sushi, pumpkin.

Hated Food: Anything too sweet, like candy and white chocolate.

School: DCU working towards a degree in jewelry and metalsmithing.

Hobbies:

Metalsmithing - Preferring casting over fabrication, Charlie enjoys being able to create objects and turn them into metal pieces of art. She often wears the charms she creates! Her goal is to get her Bachelor of Fine Arts in jewelry and metalsmithing, and open up a store of her own to sell her pieces. She is often found in the art building on campus, working on her various projects.

Fiber Arts - From crocheting to sewing to weaving, Charlie takes her art projects to the next level by going all out with her installation pieces. She loves the challenge of using scrap or unusual material to create clothing or statements. She also uses her learned skills in her jewelry making, incorporating silk and other fine yarn. While she does not do it often, she sometimes helps to sew costume pieces together for the theatre department, and has created some of her own clothing.

Tennis - She’s played since she was a kid, although it is more for fun than anything more serious. It is a good way for her to get her thoughts in order and to focus on one thing rather than on a million different projects she should be working on. Getting into the zone of playing, whether it be singles or doubles, helps her to expend all of her pent up energy that she has absorbed throughout the day.

Virtues:

Adaptable - It is very important for Charlie to have freedom and independence to make her own decisions. She refuses to be pinned down by anyone or any rules. She enjoys being able to experience change and growth on her own terms and is able to react instantly to situations and people. The downside to this is that she seems constantly wound up; both nervous and excitable, unable to contain the energy she absorbs from her surroundings and other people.

Imaginative - Something of a dreamer, being an artist seems perfect for Charlie’s future occupation. She is constantly coming up with new ideas and different ways to express herself. She likes to hear people’s stories and to explore and try new things in order to create her own. She is always on the lookout for a new adventure, or a new idea for a piece of jewelry. While she doesn’t do it often enough to consider it a hobby, she does keep a small sketchbook with her to jot down notes or ideas that come to her during the day.

Energetic - Full of energy and life, Charlie is enthusiastic and optimistic; a social butterfly and loves meeting new people and going to new places. Her curiosity and energy tends to make her attempt at multi-tasking appear a little scatterbrained, since she often goes from one project to another half-way through, but somehow she always seems to get everything done.

Flaws:

Impulsive - Charlie tends to jump feet first into things without taking the time to observe her surroundings. Her energy makes her prepared for just about everything, but her impulsiveness can get her caught up in situations from which she has trouble finding an escape. Sometimes she says things she doesn’t necessarily mean, or ends up saying something without knowing the full story or facts. She means well, but often has to backtrack in order to clean up her own messes, and that doesn’t always bode well for relationships.

Restless - Unable to stay in one place for too long, Charlie often finds herself fidgeting to get out and do something. Without enough things to stimulate her, she gets bored and restless and ready to look for new things that will keep her interest. She wouldn’t consider herself impatient, since she would wait for someone for as long as it took them to meet up with her, but she wouldn’t necessarily wait in the same place the entire time. Often times, people get upset that she moves around too much in an attempt to stay engaged in something that interests her.

Superficial - Even though she knows it’s bad to “judge a book by its cover”, Charlie can’t always help judging people by how they treat herself and others, rather than looking deep into a persona’s real qualities. Charlie presents herself the same way she sees others, knowing that many react the same way. Why else would you try to look your best for interviews, or make a good first impression? She often hides her feelings of discouragement and loneliness behind her energy and outward positive energy, never allowing anyone but her closest friends and family to see. She wants others to believe she is always happy and unstressed and living a perfect life.

HI GUINE.

Cici looks good; I'm guessing you're looking at her height/build in terms of working with a template? You might be able to fit it into fashion to describe build/height, but it's fine if that's why you noted it. Just helps form consistancy.

My only worry is her summon, since it can't be approved without the magic.

EVERYTHING ELSE IS FINE THOUGH NO WORRIES THERE. Just drop a quote when ready for round 2!

TOTALLY FINE AS IS ACTUALLY.

The summon can't enter play without the proper revisions when at knight phase, but there's not problem dropping a stamp now! A GM should be along soon!

As for height, I totally understand wanting to include height/build. So many bodytypes.

-Pat- No worries, look up a post hun. <3 Stamped and awaiting GM. Go ahead as it is.
