Thanks! I'm really glad to be back myself.
For a while there I thought the old workplace would never release me from its hold. Truthfully the main thing that was stopping me from posting was pure exhaustion. But that's all over....for now at least. >>
Whatever the case I'm back and I'm not jinxing anything if it will make me go back to my hectic schedule.

.::Princess Aurora::.  b a s i c i n f o r m a t i o n Hello, My name is

How I Normally Look
Amanda has medium length brown hair that falls just before her hips. She pins it back with two barrettes as otherwise it falls over her eyes. At the top of her head, there are usually stray hairs sticking up here and there. Her skin is a light peach color that brightens a bit around her eyes. Her eyes are wide, most of the time, and they are a brown-grey color that she inherited from her father. Her eyesight is fine, so she doesn't wear glasses or contacts. Her eyelashes are not incredibly long, just an inch long, as you find with most people's lashes. Her nose is round, and dotted with small freckles. Amanda's mouth is small, and her teeth are small, aswell. Her eyebrows are skinny and fine, and they're one shade lighter than her hair. Her neck isn't very broad, and neither are her shoulders. From the waist up, Amanda is relatively small in her torso, but her legs are a good deal longer then girls her age. Her usual outfit choice is something cute, but not girly. She would never wear black too much in an outfit. For shoes, Amanda usually goes for her Nike sneakers or flip-flops. Her posture is just how it should be, with no hunched over back and bent legs. Fairytale Appearance
Amanda's fairytale appearance does not differ from her normal appearance that much, but there is still a significant change. She dyes her hair a strawberry blonde hair dye that is permanent, but it took her a great deal of convincing to dye it. Her hair is tied up in a green ribbon to form a braid. Her eyelashes are overdone with mascara, leaving them longer then usual. Amanda blots out some of her freckles with a skin toned powder, leaving three or four freckles surrounding her nose. Around her neck she has a jeweled choker that is strung with colored glass beads. The bead colors vary from colors of blue to orange, and those colors because she considers those two colors her "lucky colors." Her outfit is made up of a short, green, maiden-like dress that drops just below Amanda's knees. It is short sleeved, and undeneath is a white blouse with a collar that cuffs out of the dress. Underneath the dress Amanda wears blue stockings and small, black sandals. y o u o u g h t t o k n o w
How I am
Amanda is a clumsy, mischeivous, and usually a happy girl. She grew up as the youngest in her family, so she became very mischeivous due to all the pranks she had to pull on her older brothers and sister after they pulled some on her. She finds herself falling over most of everything, but when she gets herself really concentrated, she can stay on balance, but not for long. She enjoys playing pranks and such on people, but nothing to serious or embarassing. She's very hard to annoy, due to her carefree personality, but even when she gets really agitated, she tries to hide it. Amanda is also very lazy. She takes naps five times a week, and has to struggle to stay awake in boring situations. She can be studious, but never lets her study get in the way of her fun. She can be confident, but sometimes she doesn't appear like it, as she is usually lazy and therefore doesn't look like a brave person. Amanda also tries to not make fun of anybody or be ridiculously mean in her pranks. She always find herself placing herself in between arguers and trying to stop their fight. The only time she would pull herself out of it is if the fight began to get physical. After that, she usually tries to find help from an adult.
How I came to be
Amanda was born unexpectantly at her parents seaside cottage in Charleston, South Carolina. She was born into a family of two brothers, a sister, and her parents, of course. Her aunt and grandparents also live with Amanda's family because they don't have a house of their own, so its quite a packed house. Amanda was homeschooled until age 7, because her parents were both unemployed and needed something to do during the time in their life in which there was no work or anything for them. After that age, she was sent to one of the disticts public schools because Amanda's father had found a job at a retail store and her mother a job at a hairdresser. Her parents were unsure about it, because she had been homeschooled for a long time and it might be hard to adjust, but when Amanda came home chattering all about it, they knew it was the right choice. When Amanda was 12, her grandma died of old age overnight. Amanda never got all to close to her grandmother, so it wasn't the end of the world. But she still ended up depressed about it. Her grandpa was not very social the rest of the year, but he got back to normal the next. After her grandmothers death, Amanda's mom decided to move to a two story townhome in Springfield, Virginia. Amanda thinks she decided this because the cottage where they had lived before was the birthplace of Amanda's grandmother and her mother probably felt it brought back too many sad memories.
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
Amanda's best friend used to have leukemia when they were very young and nearly died from it, so Amanda tends to get sensitive on those types of subjects. She also has a strange quirk where if she wears blue, she seems to be more lazy then usual. Amanda doesn't really know how blue effects her lazy mood, but she feels it is because blue is a very calming color to her. She doesn't want to blame anybody, but when she was little, she thinks her mother gave her too much of her blue pollen allergy medicine.

.::The March Hare::.  b a s i c i n f o r m a t i o n Hello, My name is
I Have Been on this Earth for About
I am of the

c o l o r m e p r e t t y
How I Normally Look
Orin has a near caramel toned mop of hair atop his head. Despite his many attempts, it's the only aspect of his person that he cannot easily make manageable. But, he's learned to accept that fact, seeing as it suits him and doesn't look out of place or a mess. He stands taller than most of the rest of the Wonderlandians at five foot seven. Still not terribly tall, short enough not to stick out and tall enough to be noticed. Quite the happy medium. His clothing? Before he gets dressed in his tasteful attire, it has to be ironed. No wrinkles to be found on Orin's clothing. He never wears cutoff anything, for it just looks tacky to him. He prefers dress shirts in the fall and winter, collared polo's in the spring and summer. Occasionally, he'll be caught wearing a tank top, but that's only for the hottest days in summer. Flip-flops or sandals are only worn while he's wearing shorts. All in all, he looks presentable and dashing at any moment.
Fairytale Appearance
Since Orin is the March Hare, he has to have artificial ears on a headband on his head, you know, for the hare bit. Also, stage makeup is applied to give him the Hare nose and whiskers. He wears an old blue tweed jacket that he keeps in perfect condition. Like those mysterious/creepy watch sellers in cartoons, there are places on the inside of his jacket to hold a various amount of spoons. Black slacks and dress shoes. Orin has a few pairs of white gloves that he wears to hide his hands, changing them out if one pair should get too dirty.
y o u o u g h t t o k n o w
How I am
Orin is a very quiet individual. He prefers to keep to himself, mostly, and the few friends that he does have. Personally, he doesn't understand how the Cheshire Cat could like the attention and spotlight like he does. Not that he has an issue with his story counterpart. It's just that he'd much rather spend time alone or with a couple of others.
Orin is a fierce and loyal friend. His friends are kind of the only family he has now, since he knows he won't be able to go back and see his Grandmother. So, he does tend to look out for them, but he won't interfere or try and correct them. He will help each of them to his best ability, if he think's it's for their good. One example is Scarlet, he likes to help her out with her many questions when possible, and he finds her curiosity quite charming.
How I came to be
Orin was kind of an unexpected joy for his father. His mother, not so much. To be honest, she hadn't wanted a kid, not at all. When it seemed as if his fate was to become a terminated fetus, his father stepped in and offered to pay his mother to have the baby: he was going to pay for medical costs and anything she might possibly need. Needless to say, the temptation of monetary compensation won his mother over. As soon as she was able to leave the hospital after giving birth, she did, without a backward glance.
Now, he's never really had an issue with the absence of his mother. No, he had his grandmother, and in Orin's opinion, she was twice as good as any mother he could have had. He spent a lot of his life with his grandmother since his dad was a diligent business man, often away on trips and such. Orin always understood why his father was gone a lot, and it was alright by him. Once he was old enough, he got to travel abroad with his dad during his summer vacation. It was all rather exciting, and he cherished the time spent with his father.
When he was not globe-trotting with his father, Orin lived with his grandmother and was raised right proper. He was taught to have proper manners and to treat others, especially ladies, with respect. Orin was a true little English gentleman. His school work was good as well, not perfect marks, but close enough to it.
Now, you wouldn't think Orin would have a reason to be chosen to portray the March Hare, how could he be mad? Well, things didn't last, like they rarely do. He was ten when his father passed away while on a business trip. Not a plane crash, but a car crash. He was devastated, and was convinced that it was all his fault. You see, Orin and his father had a ritual before trips that the night before he had to leave, the two of them would have a whole day of Father/Son bonding time. However, he was due to attend a birthday party the day before his father left. He felt bad, cause he didn't know until the last minute, and Orin insisted that he could just drop off his friend's present, but his father decided that it was alright and that Orin should spend time with his friends and have fun.
Needless to say, the funeral was memorable. Orin's mother showed up and made trouble. One moment she was demanding that she get the inheritance left to Orin, since she'd obviously have to raise him. His grandmother put a stop to that thought in a heartbeat. Orin was going to stay with her, and she'd be damned if that sorry wench got a penny more from her son. Well, that was put nicely. Orin was confused about it, obviously, why would that woman suddenly want him? It was made clear that she was only interested in the money.
His mother left, dejected and upset, but the rest of the funeral passed really quickly for the ten year old. He didn't even realize or remember if he had cried. It was all just a shock, and he kept blaming himself. Once he and his grandmother arrived back home, he just had to do something to take his mind off of it all. So, he went into the kitchen and grabbed out the silver polish and headed to the tea room. Very carefully, he stood up on a chair and took a small display case off the wall. He opened it up and pulled out a souvenir spoon, one of many, and began to polish it, still in funeral attire.
Thus, the beginning of his OCD was born. Whenever Orin is stressed, he will polish those spoons or find something to do mechanically so his mind can just ease itself. This led to him being contacted by the Academy. His grandmother thought it would be a good opportunity for him to make new friends and hopefully get over his depression, (for she the school had contacted Orin so they could help him). So, she helped him pack and gave him her souvenir spoon collection to bring with him. After all, most of them had been bought by his father. It was a bittersweet farewell, and they spent the day before the start of his freshman year spending time together, much like he and his father would have. Surely, that in itself would make sure his grandmother would be alright, at least, that's what Orin believed.
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
Orin can make some of the best tea you've ever tasted.
He loves giving piggy back rides.
Do not disrespect women in front of him. Ever.
When he is stressed, he will hide out in his room and take to polishing his collection of souvenir spoons.

Unless you're interested in hearing about research, conferences, and how I have been thrown into club politics, I'll keep it simple: I'm sorry for not posting due to life's fun obstacles.
Next up, I've heard iColoredWords has decided NOT to join us...so I won't be criticizing her profile unless I hear otherwise.
Finally, Shauna, Orin is accepted. We've been talking about him a lot and this profile just means he's officially accepted into the RP.

Who said that? I never decided to not join. And if I DID not want to join, then I would just put it right here. I'd just like to know why you think I'm not, please.

Alrighty, let's get this profile show on the road!
Now again, I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding. That was really stupid of me and I don't usually make those kinds of mistakes. Mah bad. sweatdrop Also, thanks for your profile and for being interested (and staying interested for that matter)!
Now you get a bonus point for having read the rules (we've had some profiles where the person did not read the rules carefully had had to deny them). However, you have a few things to change before we can accept you. First off, please double check for spelling and grammar. Your writing isn't bad, I just happen to see some errors (fourth sentence, "Her skin is not *too* tan..." for instance) so if you could go over it again for that, I'd appreciate it.
While you've done a good job on detailing her appearance in and out of role, I have to warn you that she can't really have a wig. Ever After Academy is looking for permanent solutions (Peter Pan for instance is a girl here and the Academy is waiting to surgically turn her into a boy). They might let her use a wig at first since her hair is short, but once it grew long enough, they would dye it.
Your personality section need more detail. If you need help understanding what I mean, take a look at the profiles that we've accepted. What makes her tick? Also, I'm not too sure I understand by "she can be confident, but only when she chooses to be." Most people I know either are or aren't. She could be laid-back or vaguely dismissive to the point of looking weak while remaining confident. If you could elaborate a little on that, I'd appreciate it.
I don't mean to sound rude, but your background section needs a lot more detail. Why was she home schooled? Was it because she was sick or because her parents were worry warts? Maybe she has a case of narcolepsy? Where was she in the family? First born, middle child, youngest? Is that how she got to be so mischievous? Was she rich? Why should her grandmother's death be important/why is it worth mentioning? Even if she wasn't close to her grandmother, did it do something to change her outcome? Why does blue affect her mood? Where did that come from?
I hope this doesn't dishearten you. Your profile isn't bad; it just needs a little work. Thank you for your time and patience.
