AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Ella Stroph (pronounced 'Stroff')
Nicknames: Beak
Gender: Female
Age: 16yrs

Faction: Monster
Race: Harpy

Natural Ability: Shriek: Earsplitting, and pretty annoying birdlike vocalisation, generally when annoyed or frightened


Personality: Ella comes across as enthusiastic about everyone and everything. Very sociable, she likes to make new friends if she can, though she hasn't quite learned that not everyone will be so eager to make her acquiantance and takes snubs at her friendly overtures to heart, and will likely not speak to that person again, believing them not worth her time anymore.

Ella will attempt to strike up conversation first, but will find great enjoyment and get on the most with anyone winged or birdlike. Even if you are neither, she could happily talk about her collections with anyone who has a similar sort of hobby. She also enjoys what she calls writing, she scribbles in a notebook using one of her own feathers as a quill, though they are mostly made-up, quite nonsensical stories, so if you are of a literary mind, she'll try and get you to read said nonsense.

If she succeeds in becoming your friend though, you'll find her loyal and liking nothing more than to spend time with you. Outings, clubs, homework, school lessons or even just aimless hanging out - these are all chances to chat with and be in her friends company.

She is a great hoarder of things that catch the light, and can be a little light fingered to get them, though she'll try her hardest not to steal from a friend. Shiny things include but are not limited to; candy wrappers, mirrors, glass, or polished glass bits, gems, glitter or anything glitter-adjacent. Tinsel is her absolute favourite and it adorns her room all year round.

She will rarely wear the shiny items she collects, she worries about losing them and prefers to safely hoard them in her 'nest'.

She has a singular vanity about herself, she thinks her nose is her greatest attribute and wishes it were bigger and more beak like (like her ancestors). She will fly into a terrible temper with anyone who disagrees or makes fun of her nose, and even attempt to claw at them.

She will also become cross with anyone who attempts to tweak her nose, even if they are only teasing.

Although she can be a loyal friend, she does as mentioned get easily distracted, and can therefore be unreliable. If you ask her for a favour, and in the middle of said favour or on the way to do it she spies something for her collection she will forget all about what she was meant to be doing. Getting into a conversation with someone else has the same effect.

She can become clingy, and that can lead her to being a nuisance ie: she doesn't take hints and leaves when asked, or will turn up un-invited to dorm rooms

Ella is also ignorant/unaware that she is clingy, distractable and unreliable. If these traits are actually pointed out to her, she will be confused, apologetic intially but then lapse into her usual ways.


Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Basically she's there to learn some focus, her obsession with shiny, glittery things means she is easily distracted.
She also lacks any sort of leadership skills, being happy to always follow the leader.
She also lacks awareness of her deficiencies and will need some hard learned lessons to work those out
(Ella's own reasons are to join any clubs, hang-out and make friends, all that serious stuff is her parent's wants XD)

FEAR Ability: Savage Claw - Battle Cry: Using fear, Ella 'hardens' her claws, enabling them to do more damage

Sorry for the double quote


Just a few things.

Natural ability: any student that has wings normally (like Ella and Vanya) is able to fly without having flight as the natural ability. Unless you wanted to have her fly by another means.

FEAR Your FEAR seems to be a mixture of two of the FEAR types; headlights and swift strikes (skip a turn and deal double damage). Unless you mean to just have it as Swift Strikes then a change in wording might make it a little less confusing. XDD



Personality: She doesn't seem to have any negative traits. She has traits that are either or; depending on who she's RPing with but there aren't any that could be considered mostly negative. Negative traits are a great way for a character to develop via RP because they can try and better themselves or simply get into a lot of problems because of them. They also help balance a character out so they aren't completely sugary sweet.
EDIT: Also how does she go about making friends beyond just going up and talking to people? How is it someone is able to become her friend? Do they have to share common interests or just simply put up with her antics. Will she try and befriend anyone or will she be more inclined to certain types of creeple? Is there a certain personality trait that she may try and avoid all together?

I adore her, though and I can't wait to RP. <3

Which mechanic does her FEAR attack use? Checking the guide here and deciding on a specific FEAR type will help you narrow down what she can do with it. smile

Okay, didn't realise that about the wings ^_~
If I adjust her Fear do you think a sort of unsettling, but non-damaging shriek could be classed as a natural ability?

I did think the Fear I chose might be a bit too mixed, so I think I'll just go for a Battle Cry type, and make it so that her Fear 'hardens' her claws so they do more damage

Hmm..I'll see what I can do, I thought I'd made her fallable enough, giving her vanity about her looks and whatnot but on second read she does seem a bit too nice so I'll see what I can change
I guess I sort of imagine her flapping up to people and chatting away to them, but if they like collecting things, are apt at flying, or have a kin with birds it'd be easier.
I did have a mind for her to be a writer, or what she thinks is writing (ie nonsense stories) but I forgot that when I typed this all out this morning XD
So I think I'll add that in, give her something to look for as well

Thanks for your feedback ^_^

I'm really torn with her natural ability, not sure if a shriek would be considered that, or to go for something else

Right, changed it so that she gets into a fearful rage if her nose is made fun of
Changed her Fear ability

Added unreliability, and clingyness as negative traits

Further crit for what I've changed is loved, and I need help with her natural ability, suggestions would really help XD

A shriek is fine for a natural ability. this harpy has shrieking as their nat ability.
Vanya's natural ability lies in changing the length of her claws at will. o vo

Changes look great, though! <33

When a piercing "VREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" came from the office, the gnomes knew that it was time to draw lots and decide who among them would reach into the great maw of the Acceptance Bin to unjam it.
