How I Normally Look
Boyish and young, Cal is always a little ruffled around the edges. Her short spiky light blond hair is washed daily and yet never seems to tame, it is as unruly as her behavior. Her skin pigmentation is alabaster pale, which can be very inconvenient on bright summer days at the beach. She never seems to be able to tan, her skin just turns pink and burns. The girl has bright curious blue-green eyes that draw the observer in, and a crooked wide smile. Her lips may be thin and pale, but her grin is heartwarming. Her figure is very slim, and awkward she has almost no curves and is very much a bean stalk in appearance. The girl’s face is smooth and well built. Her chin comes to an elegant point, and her pointed nose is flat enough not to get caught on sweater collars, but big enough to appear strong.
Cal’s choice in dress is light colors whites, pale greens and blues, Baggy kaki pants and canvas shoes. She likes to wear things that brighten up a room, and thinks she looks saintly in white. She wears no make up, ever. Mostly because she’s completely uneducated in the application of such a thing, and partly because she’s too lazy to learn. Cal is very lazy when it comes to her physical appearance, she thinks it’s a waste of time to worry about her face when she’s already got her whole life planed out for her anyway.
Fairytale Appearance
In her fairytale appearance Cal changes only in the slightest of ways, she grows a tad taller, going from five foot nine, to six foot one. And her shoulders broaden some. Her pasty pale skin darkens a little as if she had been working outside for the last few days and acquired a warming tan, the skin on her hands toughens becoming lightly calloused too. Cal’s eyes darken, they turn a darker green, and her eyes get a little smaller, less feminine. The shape of her face gets more angular, and sharp, her nose grows becoming straight and sold.
When in character, Cal prefers to wear light elaborate armor, or nobleman’s clothing, she personally feels quite dashing in the rich colors and fanciful designs. Her short hair gains a little more thickness and rigidness too, but keeps its light blond color. The style shortens some, and she looks even more masculine than she did before, she only holds the slightest bit of her female appearance.
y o u o u g h t t o k n o w
How I am
Stubborn and insubordinate, Cal never does what she has been asked the first time around. She loves to run and jump and climb, but not to sit and study. She’s secretly glad she did not get stuck with a princess character like some of the other girls because she would not know what to do with her self. Her morals are a little skewed at times, or maybe most of the time, but her heart is always leds her to the right place in the end.
When in class, She’s restless and jumpy. Her gaze normally is set on either the window or the door, and her ear tuned to nothing but the sound of the bell that signals’s her release. She’s very tease-y, her favorite forms of human interaction include joking and making false accusations. She is a very talented prankster, and the majority of her mental capabilities got to thinking up great new plans for grand pranks.

How I Normally Look
Danielle, or Dani for short, reaches five feet, five and a half inches when standing straight, which is always. Her dirty blonde hair, which she insist is brown, to no avail, gives her another half inch in height as is cascades in waves down to her lower back. Dani’s bangs continually stay in her eyes despite her best efforts, but she still keeps them long enough to hide the upper-half of her face. Her hair is usually puller back in a ponytail with her favorite green hair-tie, which is often attributed to the knots and tangles in her hair. The girl has yet to bloom in her shirt, which is no problem for the dancer who must stay around her low, one-hundred and fourteen pounds. Dani’s hunter green eyes often seem to sparkle when she's excited or angry, or at least, they water a lot. They stand out well against snow-white skin and rosy cheeks. There is also a speckling of faint, brown freckles across her nose and cheeks. Dani is not as muscular in the upper body as she would like to be, but her legs are powerful do to all the dancing she has done in her life.
Dani prefers loose fitting clothes, so she is rarely caught in jeans or even jackets. She is usually caught wearing thin, flowing shirts or tank tops over loose knee-length skirts or yoga pants. Due to her chest size and dislike of tight materials, Dani has ‘wardrobe malfunctions’ at least four times a week. She doesn’t care, but others seem to insist she wear a bra for everyone’s sake. Most of her clothes are earth tones, browns and greens, with the occasional blue or even red piece. Dani almost always wears ballet flats, black, but keeps a good pair of sneakers around for jogging.
Fairytale Appearance
While Dani’s physical features stay the same, her outfit is painfully different. Her floor-length golden dress is far heavier than Dani is used to in clothes, and is embroidered with many useless beads and designs. Her shoes are heavy and tight, a matching gold with a black heel. The topper of this loathed ensemble is the crown. While small, the heavy gold -yes, more gold- tiara is jewel inlaid and bends to the will of gravity far too easily.
Dani’s gown is decorated with a faint design made of golden embroidery. The design makes a garden of lilies and roses out of gold thread, which is subtle because it is sewn into a gold dress. This fanciful garden is only visible in bright light at the right angle, which is fine with Dani because the less gaudy the dress seems, the better. The beads of silver making a complementary overlay design of birds on the gown is more obvious and makes clinking sounds when ever the wearer moves. Or breathes. The sound can become very annoying very quickly, often driving Dani a tad nuts.
y o u o u g h t t o k n o w
How I am
Quiet. Dani tries to stay in the back and often keeps her head down in the halls. Being easily embarrassed, Dani keeps up her dancing in private, in her room or outside in the forest. The only person Dani has ever connected with was her brother, so she is not good with people. When they were together, she was cheerful and helpful and playful to a point that outsiders would think they were dating. In theory, that is how she acts around friends, but Dani has not had enough experience to know if that would be the case. The most any stranger has ever learned about her is that she has a strong aversion to large crowds.
While she is quiet in classes, Dani studies a good amount to keep her grades up. Though she is not very interested in main subjects or the material everyone has heard a hundred times, topics that interest her brings out another side. Enthusiastically answering questions and participating in discussions can bring unwanted attention to herself. After events like this, Dani usually hides herself in her room and even skips a day or two of class. During her hideouts, Dani enjoys reading science fiction novels about aliens enslaving the human race. This topic is not as popular as she would like, so Dani tries her hand occasionally at writing, to no avail.
How I came to be
Danielle is the youngest of eight siblings and four dogs. Having been the youngest child of dog trainers, Dani was raised simply and proper. Well, not really proper. More like she was raised by her siblings more than her parents, who were always busy with the dogs. Being the last child, her siblings already knew what to expect in, so any tricks and traps Dani tried to pull at home were easily stopped and foiled by who ever was around. The size of her family pulled the drawstrings of their purses fairly tight, keeping Dani from having many luxuries in life, like summer camp or first-hand toys. After a few years of growing up on broken plastic soldiers and ripped paper dolls, little Dani insisted on dancing lessons, as most young girls do. She was relentless in her goal, and eventually wore her parents down until she got her way. Unlike most young girls, she stuck with the dance. Her passion and raison d’etre became dancing. Sticking with ballet through her child hood, Dani also stared taking belly dancing classes a few months before the letter came from the school. She continues practicing what she learned about rolling and kicks on her free time.
Despite being raised by them, Dani never got very close with any of her seven older siblings. The age differences range from two to twenty years, which explains why Dani is an aunt at age sixteen. Before coming to school, she was required to help with her eldest sister‘s child far more than she would like. Of course, because of her parent‘s obsession with their profession, Dani has come to dislike most anything small and supposedly cute. Babies, dogs, frogs. They are all just reminders that her parents love drooling dumb animals more than their own children. Leaving home was not hard for Dani, the only one in her family she ever cared for, the fourth eldest child, Nick, moved out three years ago, leaving Dani alone in a house full of shadows of people.
Dani was picked to be the youngest dancing princess for the most obvious reason: her love of dance. The problem is, she is required to ballroom dance, and nothing else. Out of all the dancing styles in the world, ballroom is her least favorite. Repetitive steps in painful shoes and un-realistic gowns, why every princess seemed to know how to waltz is beyond Dani. She loathes the idea that her entire future after school will be ballroom dancing every night until she was married off to some prince with too much free time for stalking. Or a ratty old damaged solider, or garden boy. Well, a garden boy wouldn‘t be the worst, at least then she could live an almost normal life afterwards. It all depends on which version of the her story she will be forced into.
s o m e o t h e r i n f o r m a t i o n
There's something else you ought to know
Dani's only exception to her hatred of small, 'cute' creatures is salamanders. Slimy orange bug eaters are way better than dogs any day.

I was digging through my picture folder and found a potential character picture. I edited it to make it better, but it's been compressed too many times so it's hard to salvage.  Do you think I should use it? The original is Here.

I don't like it; unless you can find a better quality image, I would do without.
Haven't gotten to the actual profile yet. >.< Sorry.

No problem. It's just almost midnight. I should go to sleep.
Hey look, a book. Let's sit here and read it instead.

Okay, let's get down to business.
I assume your character is from the 12 dancing princesses. If this isn't correct, let me know, please.
For the first five, incredibly simple sections, you did splendidly. You would be surprised at how many people have screwed them up. Hooray!
For Dani's normal appearance, there are a few things I would like you to fix. FIrst of all, what did you mean by 'five feet, six inches on a good day'? Now, normally I would just assume that you are talking about her occasionally not bothering to stand up straight, or being to tired to do so, but you go on to say that she is a ballerina. The ballerinas I know have perfect posture 99.5% of the time, even if they're exhausted. They can't help themselves. So... what did you mean?
Hair is good, bangs: good, ponytail: fine, perpetually tangled hair: excellent, no chest: good (although the phrasing is a bit awkward), 111 pounds.... seems a bit low. Ballerinas do have some serious muscle (including in their arms. Holding those poses for any length of time is no cakewalk), even if they are extremely weight conscious. Muscle weighs more than fat. I'm not going to make you change it, but keep that in mind.
Uh... I love the bit about her eyes sparkling, or watering, when she's excited or angry. ^-^ Made me smile. However, I would prefer that her eyes are not emerald, as I have never heard of anyone with eyes that are naturally that bright of a shade. Hazel is fine, and light green is fine; my own eyes are a weird, 'inside of a cucumber' green. Any of those would be acceptable. You could also, I suppose, specify that she wears contacts; I know they come in emerald green.
Whew!
Onto the next section, which looks pretty good. The 'yes, more gold' should be in parenthesis or between a pair of dashes -- I know I often use them-- if you want to avoid making my head explode. I'm not sure you even did anything technically wrong, but it would make me feel better. ^-^ Other than that, the section looks positively wonderbar.
Next section.
You spelled 'quiet' wrong, unless you meant to put 'quite'. Other than that, everything you have is alright, except for a few missing commas I'm not going to bother about. That isn't to say that the section is done.
I would like to see a bit more, to be honest. What does she dislike, aside from small, cute creatures? What does she like, aside from dance? How does she spend her time, aside from studying and dancing by herself? Is that it? Does she have any personality quirks?
These are all just suggestions, obviously. If you would like a better idea of what I'm looking for in this section, I would suggest checking out the link to the original RP.
Next section.
One thing: how can someone be raised 'fast'? I honestly have no idea what you meant. Clarification, please. Other than that, the section is perfect.
Okay, looks like we're done. If you have any questions or concerns about my notes, please let me know. If you can give me a good reason why you would like something left the way it is, I will probably be willing to let it slide.
^-^ Good luck!
