 Character Information: Teacher Name: Murren McMahan
Species: Faerie
Age: Indeterminate--youngish...ish?
Gender: Female
Appearance description: (optional) At a glance, Murren looks like a winged ball of light whizzing about. But on closer inspection, Murren has blonde, curly hair that she keeps bobbed so it stays out of the way of her pale green wings. She tends toward colorful, cobbled together outfits with loads of small baubles and trinkets dangling off them. She tends to wear a slightly ratty green silk top hat with a pink hat band and feathered pin. Has bright green eyes and fair skin.
Personality: Murren is a little eccentric, but not necessarily naive. She can be quite absent minded at times, and very forgetful, but when she's focused on something, it's difficult to draw her attention elsewhere. She laughs frequently--often at nothing, it seems, and likes to spend time in quiet contemplation of the universe. She can also be quite micheivous at times, and frequently gets angry (but usually comically rather than seriously) or over reacts to things.
Bio: Murren grew up in Cornwall, spending her life among a small Faerie community there. The lifestyle was somewhat rustic, and the fae tended to live in forests near farms, where they would tend livestock for farmers in return for gifts of milk, honey, and other trinkets.
Murren was always curious about Humans, having a deep fascination for mortals, and tended to lurk around farm houses to learn more about them. As she realized that Human society had progressed and magical races were attempting to live in the open with them, she decided to leave her little village and try to learn more about the world so she could spend more time with Humans and other non-fae races.
Rosentale seemed like a great opportunity to do just that, and as no stranger to hard work and looking after animals, she took up the position as the caretaker of the school's stables, as well as looking after much of the school grounds.
Skills and Abilities: Murren has a variety of skills common to fae--like pixie leading and glamour. Innately magical, her food and music can be dangerous for mortals to eat, but is perfectly safe for Fae or those of Fae descent.
Her main abilities are the ability shape-shift (she can change her size from growing smaller, to Human size), and her ability to bring inanimate objects temporarily to life by binding pieces of her soul to them, hence she can often be seen arguing with things like boots and walls. (one of the reasons people think she's a wee-tad daft)
Shape shifting too often can cause her to permanently shrink by a few millimeters at a time, so she only switches to a larger form when absolutely necessary. (Of course, her definition of 'absolutely necessary' can be odd...)
Flaws: Tunnel vision--once she has an idea in her head, it's pretty difficult to convince her otherwise Forgetful and absent minded. She would forget her head if it wasn't attached. Literally. She sometimes forgets she can fly. Rather fickle--she can decide she hates you at the drop of a hat, or back out of her agreements like it means nothing Mercurial--her moods shift pretty rapidly so it's hard to predict what she'll do next. Questionable morals--like many Faeries, Murren's morals and ethics don't always coincide with those of Humans. Touching her hat might get you cursed, but she thinks it's perfectly fine to steal babies or tie someone's hair to the bedpost for laughs.
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Status: Single
Occupation: Stable Master
Likes: (at least 3) -old trinkets and jewelry -broken watches -her hat -teasing mortals (they're so silly!) -horses -the smell of fresh hay -stealing milk from people -tying people's shoelaces together -human babies -apples and acorns (omg...ACORNS! *squee*)
Dislikes: (at least 3) -rain and rain storms -windy days (ugh! Such a pain) -Cats and other animals that decide she looks tasty -People who touch her hat -rats (omg...she hates rats) -animal cruelty -dirt under her finger nails (that's just nasty, I'm tellin' ya.) -body odor. (she WILL make you smell good if you don't already.)
Extra Information: Murren doesn't really work for free. If you ask a favor, you will definitely have to give her something in return (her usual request is for the person's first born child. It's...mostly a joke.)
Being from Cornwall, she does have a rather thick English accent.

Skills and Abilities: He is very smart, almost at a college level (ALMOST), and he is extremely talented at playing the violin and cello.

Sexual Orientation: Pansexual.
Status: Single
Likes: (at least 3) - Violin - Cello - Reading
Dislikes: (at least 3) - Being forced to speak - Bullies - Getting sick (Happens a lot with him.) Extra Information: He will not speak, unless spoken to. He answers more to the nick name Coco or Koko than his birth name.

Before I can accept, we're going to have to fix his flaws. So far, you've got one flaw down, but we'd like a few more. His flaws all seem to revolve around the "he is very shy," but surely that's not all his flaws, right? If you can add at least two more that will work, then he'll be accepted into Rosentale Academy. If you need help coming up with flaws, you can refer to the Mary Sues 101 thread for help. ^^

You're on the right track. Personality traits are a good way to come up with flaws. But quiet isn't really a trait that one would consider a flaw. It just seems like a descriptive trait that describes her. Sure there are some people that absolutely dislikes quiet people, but there are bound to be some that will.
So perhaps you mean that she simply has poor communication skills?

Nope, you're fine! Just making sure since I tend to misinterpret what people put down and then it'll be my fault for not checking what they really meant by something. =w="

Character Information: Student Name: Bianca Sinclair
Species: Necromancer
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance description: Has a jagged scar on her left shoulder from an incident when she was little. She's 5'4" and weighs around 120lbs (Something she likes to be quiet about, because what girl wants to admit their weight?) Another thing is that she has some bags beneath her eyes since she has trouble sleeping. Her appearance can also be a little ghastly at times because of her lack of sleep. Usually, Bianca tries to hide her bags with makeup but they are still visible.
Personality: Bianca is a relatively quiet person but she will talk to others and is even a bit lively when she opens up to them. She can be blunt without meaning to so she may say some mean things without realizing it. She is quite independent and hates to show any weakness, or she is afraid of what others will think if they do see being weak. Bianca is usually courteous to others but when she gets angry, well let's just say she gets angry.
Bio: Bianca's childhood was a troubled one because of her power. Her life was completely normal until the age of five when she began to see the spirits of the dead. Her parent's believed that she was going through a phase with creating imaginary friends, but they knew in the back of their minds that their daughter was different. This was confirmed when they found Bianca playing and talking with herself, when she insisted that it was her deceased cousin. Her mother became scared since she knew what her daughter was. In her family, necromancy ran in the family but her mother never got it but it seemed she had passed it on to Bianca. Bianca's mother did everything she could to protect her daughter from getting involved in the world of death but it was inevitable that Bianca would need proper training. When Bianca turned six, a terrible accident happened. It was a late night and everyone was asleep but Bianca had been awakened by the voice of a crying little boy. She had gotten out of bed and followed the sound of the little's boys cries which led her to the woods behind her home. The little boy was at the bottom of a cliff and Bianca wanted to help him so she tried going down there to help him but she slipped and fell. She was knocked unconscious and the little boy turned out to be a lost spirit. Bianca was seriously injured, a branch going through her shoulder. The next morning, Bianca's parents discovered that their child had disappeared which scared them. They soon found Bianca at the bottom of the cliff with her horrifying injuries. Miraculously, Bianca had somehow survived and when her parents questioned why she was out there, she told them about the little boy. This was what made her parents decided that she needed to be trained in order to control her abilities. They knew, it would only get worse as Bianca grew older. It's been years since that event, during the time her parents had sent her away to live with her estranged uncle who is and necromancer. He was the one who trained and educated her about her abilities. He was also the one who decided that it was time she further her education of the world by going to Rosentale Academy because it was school with a diversity of students. Bianca was a part of the supernatural world so she needed to be more aware of it.
Skills and Abilities: Bianca is a necromancer which means she can raise up the dead. However, she must follow certain rules of necromancy so she is limited to the kinds of beings she can summon. Her power is a little unstable because she is still in training but she has a relatively good handle on her powers. She is able to raise up beings that have died recently relatively easily, but the time the being is alive varies. They will either be able to be on this plane a long time or they will immediately go back to the Underworld. Besides raising up the dead, Bianca is also able to see a being's aura which allows her to see what species they are and maybe influence them if their aura is weaker than hers. She can only influence weak, wayward humans who have a weak will. The ability to see the dead is another power she has which is both a blessing and a curse. She can converse with spirits but sometimes this is bothersome. Spirits are attracted to necromancers because of their close interaction with death which can drive the necromancer to insanity if they do not learn to control this ability. Being said, Bianca cannot be in an area where many deaths have occurred such as the site of natural disasters or war.
Flaws: The ability to see the dead sometimes gives her nightmares which result in moments where she is mentally unstable. During these times she can be very moody so she will usually isolate herself from others and this can last for days. She hates to be around people when she's like this because she does not want to bother others or let them see her weakness. Another flaw of hers is that she is completely terrified of the dark, which is related to the time she got hurt when she was young. Bianca is also dependent on having a bear or doll with her at all times. She feels like she cannot do anything unless she has a doll and this has affected her social life. Having this item allows her to feel more secure and confident about herself but she has become too dependent on these items. Bianca's bluntness is a flaw since she sometimes says things she shouldn't say.
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Status: Single
Likes: - Stuffed animals and dolls (especially bears) - Classical music - Chocolate
Dislikes: - The dark - Small spaces - Inconsiderate morons/naive people
Extra Information: She always has a doll or bear with her at all times.

Yay! We have a new kind of race! She seems really interesting and well thought out. But before I accept her, I want to clarify some things.
In Rosentale Academy, we actually do have have 2 ghosts attending school and it might be better to leave it to their RPer's discretion to decide if they are attracted to your character.
As for the people who she can influence "if their aura is weaker than hers," I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, can you be a bit more specific?
I'm afraid the flaws you put in seem to resonate around one area which is when she has a nightmare. When she has a nightmare, she becomes moody and isolates herself. It is just one valid flaw.
But does she have any flaws when she isn't in a situation when she has a nightmare?
Sorry for being picky. ^^
