Physical Description: Nicola is a tall girl, but isn't the thinnest of people. She's more rounded than some but to be honest doesn't mind much. Her height makes it far less noticable than if she was shorter. In general she looks rather plain and doesn't stand out of the crowd particularly. Nicola does not have an athletic figure as she rarely takes part in sport.
Nicola's hair is a very dark shade of brown and looks like it is black. It reaches just beyond her shoulders. It is curly and occassionally forms ringlets, but generally looks fairly unruly. It hangs loose most of the time even though it irritates her to some extent. Nicola sometimes ties it up in a loose ponytail but only when she really has to. Her eyes are a light hazel colour and appear warm. They generally seem welcoming but can appear harder and cold. This however isn't very often.
She waves her hands around a lot when she is talking and doesn't like to keep still. Nicola can often be found twirling her wand or a pencil between her fingers. Her lips aren't full and are more of a pink colour than red. Her clothing is plain, usually dark colours. She does however like to wear the odd item of brightly coloured clothing some of the time. Nicola usually wears full length skirts or trousers and long sleved tops.

Personality Description: Nicola is generally a friendly person. She helps out those she cares for and is always willing to lend them a hand. However, with those she doesn't know very well she appears quite cold. It takes a lot for her to open up to someone and when she does so they had better not betray her trust. She isn't the most trusting of people and hates her friends if the abandon her. She does not take betrayal lightly and will take revenge on you. Nicola takes her friendships very seriously.
Nicola is very quiet and doesn't always speak out. She can keep her mouth shut when need be, silence is something which seems natural to her. She has some ideas about purebloods and does believe they are better than others. Nicola does not voice this often and just tries to avoid muggleborns. She has quite a careful nature. She likes to smile and does so a lot, often at private jokes which many do not understand.
She is not a very charismatic person and often seems to be forgotten. However, she does not mind this and is happy to let others forget her. She thinks if they just ignore someone because they are quiet that's their own fault. She tries to overlook others flaws but refuses to do this on the issue of blood status. Nicola has a great love of magic and using it to her advantage.
Nicola is a fairly intelligent person and likes that fact. Her best subjects are Potions and Herbology. She enjoys potions and loves the precision involved. Even though she is good at Herbology she does not enjoy it as she hates getting dirt stuck under her nails. She likes Charms because of the precise spell casting involved.
history
Parents/Guardians: Eileen and Marcus Prince
Other Relatives: Distant cousins of various purebloodd families.
Character History:
Nicola was born on the 14th of April to Eileen and Marcus Prince. They were not the richest of the pureblood families but they got by easily enough and did not let others imply they were poor. Nicola grew up with a rather cold father, who was rarely around. His job always kept him busy. He did spoil his littel girl when he was around though and Nicola always revelled in that attention when it was given. Her mother spent as much time as she could together and the two talked a lot. However, they don't actually have that much in common. The two of them of them rarely had anyone else to talk to on a regularly basis so they managed to get by. Nicola is more similar to her father.
When she got to Hogwarts she got sorted into Ravenclaw. Her father, who had been a Ravenclaw himself, was pleased whilst her Slytherin mother was slightly dissappointed. She loved learning at Hogwarts and thrived in her classes. In her third year Nicola took Ancient Runes and Muggle Studies (only to find she was abysmal at it). Nicola worked hard in most of her subjects, but always slacked in History. She finds the subject unbearbly dull. She has made some friends, as well as enemies, at her time at Hogwarts. Nicola keeps her friends and family close to her, and likes it that way. She has yet to decide what she wants to do when she leaves Hogwarts but realises she needs to make up her mind soon.
RP sample
Alexia settled down into one of the comfy chairs in the common room. It wasn’t right next to the fire; they were all already taken by the slightly more popular kids. Not that she particularly wanted to sit there, it was always way to hot for her liking. She lifted her book bag up from where she had placed it by her feet. She riffled through it until she found her notebook. After seven years she still hadn’t gotten round to organising her bag so that it didn’t take weeks to find her notebook. It was a nice notebook; her mum had given it to her for her birthday last year. It was blue; she was quite surprised that her mum had remembered that she actually liked blue. Pleasantly surprised actually. She got on great with her mum, she just didn't always remember the little things about her. That was what attending a boarding school for most of the year did to the relationship with your parents.
She flicked through the pages quickly, trying to find where she had recorded her homework. She found it quickly enough. Lexi scanned the page, all she had was some reading for Binns. History of Magic homework was always excruciatingly dull. Knowing Binns, he’d probably set something which he’d previously set last year and had forgotten about. She heaved the required book out of her bag, it was incredibly think and heavy. She turned to the stated page and began to read. It was fairly interesting but the author was nearly as dull as Binns. Except this person’s work had been published. A loud crash reached her ears. Lexi groaned inwardly, putting a bookmark in her heavy text. She stood up and glanced around the common room. From the looks of it a bunch of third years were the source of the disturbance. No one else appeared to be about to intervene, so she went over to see if she could organise the mess. Some of them had exams to study for.
Exams. The bane of Lexi's existance. She wanted to do well but she always got so worried about them. Lex knew that all the worry was pointless, if she didn't do well that was it. She had to try and focus on other things for now. Exams weren't for ages, so why was she so anxious? That was a stupid question really. No matter how far away the exams were or how meaningless she still got all worked up. She looked at her wristwatch. Lexi had done enough studying in her opinion. Time to go and find something more relaxing to do.
