Name: Stacey Amelia Black Gray
Age: 17
Height: 5`7"
Appearance: Stacey has straight has straight brown hair that ends just past her shoulders. It isn`t a special shade of brown or anything, just a normal, but rich color. Her eyebrows arch over her almond-shaped eyes, which can change to any color, pattern, design, or practically anything that can describe her mood. She barely has control over what color her eyes change to, and mostly worries about their color when she is around Muggles, who would notice their color change. Her nose is straight and ends nicely above her full and round lips. Her teeth are perfectly white and shaped, except for her two front teeth, which are just slightly bigger than the others. In general, her oval face has a soft look that looks very feminine.
Stacey`s skin is a soft, pale gold color, spotted with dark freckles on her arms and cheeks. She has a rather thin frame, but strong muscles. Her posture has been perfected by years of dancing. Her legs are long and stong, adding to her exceptional balance. All in all, she looks on the smaller side, compared to people in general, but she is surprisingly strong and knows it. Her wirery muscles are hidden beneath her soft look. She is somewhat beautiful, but not in a glamorus way. Her beauty is subtle and gentle, but she would never admit or even think that fact. She thinks she`s normal, just like most people when they first meet her.
Race: Half-Blood Witch
Parents: Carrie Seneca Romea and James Perris Black
Personality: Stacey can have a very bad temper, but is extremely loyal and caring to her friends. She is very easy to love, but easy to hate if you push her. When you first meet her, if you get on her bad side, you can almost guarantee that you will always be on her bad side. She holds a grudge, and it takes a lot to make it go away. If you become one of the few lucky people to became a close friend of hers, you just gained someone that would do ANYTHING for you. Because of parents, she tries to act very cheerful. She hates her past and tries to act as if it never happened. You will always see her smiling. Stacey has problems dealing with stress and tends to hold everything in until she can`t hadle anything anymore. She is passionate and caring, loyal and strong, trustworthy and fun, and she ltruely cares about people, which is more than you can say for many humans. Stacey has the mind of a spy; she is able to see dozens of solutions when other people just see a couple. She can work through other peoples` problems well, but has trouble working through her own.
Likes: Animals, power, knowledge, helping, learning and knowing, the color red, white chocolate, books, the night sky, being with people she loves, and honesty.
Dislikes: Knowing nothing, not being able to be of use, needing help, the color black used as a symbol of death or evil, death, winter and cold, large crouds of loud people, and people who don`t do anything with themselves.
Powers: Stacey has all normal wizard powers, with lower abilities in Divination and higher abilities in Astronomy, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and various spells and charms. She originally was just able to control the element of fire, and she mastered the use of it, but soon her unique power let her use
every power. Her special and rare powers is the ability to absorb anopther witch or wizard`s powers and use them as if they were her own. This doesn`t effect the other wizard at all, and, if she uses it correctly, she can become immune to a wizard`s powers as long as she is close enough to absorb them.
The thing that keeps out other powers from invading her mindwhen she doesn`t wish it can only be described as a mental brick wall. If she is influenced too much by powers around her, it is harder to keep that wall up. The stronger the power or energy, the more it pushes against her wall. Most of the time, though, the absorbtion of power is done willingly.
In addition to all of that, Stacey is haunted with the voices and souls that only seem to be heard by the more powerfull wizards or witches. These voices are usually harmless, but Stacey is sometimes unable to concentrate on the additional wall that keeps the voices out. When she is really angry or overwhelmed is when the voices usually attack. It Ginny Weasley or Lavy Brown are near, they generally help her. If not, Stacey found that stabbing herself in the arm usually helps, too. As the voices get stronger they cause her more harm, but she is almost always in close care. She has a snow leopard Animagus.
History: Stacey was born one early February morning in London. Born minutes after her was her twin brother, Hayden. Unable to ake care of two children at the time, James and Carrie Black sent Hayden to an orphanage in the United States, where James came from. They had planned on leaving Hayden in foster care until they were able to take care of him, but three years later the orphanage was burnt to the ground, along with all of their files. All of the children, including one Hayden Black where given to familiaes who could take care of them. So Stacey was raised as an only child, her mother too upset and scared to have more children. Stacey found out about Hayden only when they happened to run into each other at Hogwarts when they were both fifteen. Her parents had decided to not tell Stacey about her brother, not until she and Hayden put together their similarities and memories together and Stacey reunited mother with child. she didn`t even get a think you.
Durning Stacey`s life before she turned twelve, she was raised as a Muggle. Her mother, who came from France, had suddenly decided that she didn`t like magic. She
had been full aware of what James was before she married him. She made Stacey`s life difficult, forcing her into too many extra classes to keep her from using magic out of boredom. Thankfully Stacey could usually weasel her way out of most of the classes, or her father canceled them for her. The only lessons she really kept up with were ballet, piano, and a self-defense variety. Those were the lessons she enjoyed and stayed with and excelled in, even though she attended other classes every now and then out of curiosity and tried almost everything money could buy. By this time, both Carrie and James were bringing in a lot of money. Her mother practically owned a hospital, and her father... well, his job was udefined. He never talked about it or gave any hint as to what it might be, but it payed well.
When Stacey started to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizidry, her mother was furious. If her father hadn`t been able to pursuade Carrie, she would have never let her daughter go the the school. Stacey still continued piano and ballet lessons, and her self-defense lessons became centereed around knives, handguns, and magic, taught by her father. She never even thought about how he knew all of these things. Just like in her Muggle studies, Stacey excelled in most things she tried. As she grew older, her powers grew stronger and greater.
When she was just thirteen, Stacey fell under a werewolf`s spell and took it as love. If he hadn`t of left a year later, she probably would have married him. Of course, one of them would have been dead by now. Probably him. Less than six months later she was still catatonic from his departure, and she met Nate. He comforted her and made her forget aboue the boy who had broken her heart. She found that she really cared for Nate, but that all changed one night when she was fifteen.
She had just been out walkig in the forst, like so many before her had, when she ran into a seventeen year old boy. Nate appearing to be the same age as herself, Stacey tried to dismiss this new boy from her mind. But the more she got to know him (she found out that his name was Aiden Gray) the more she realized just how special he was to her. In just one night, she knew that she would have to pick between Aiden and Nate someday. She had known and trusted Nate for more than two years. She had just met Aiden. And yet she already knew who she was going to pick.
So a fifteen year old girl chose a seventeen year old boy she had just met over another boy who looked to be fifteen, like he would forever. But Nate was a vampire. Stacey may not have made the decision consciously, but inside she knew that Aiden was the one. And she was right. Just two months before she turned sixteen, she was comfortable and truely in love. In love enough to except the diamond ring that Aiden presented to her on bended knee. All the while, Stacey`s power continued to grow and grow until she was almost unable to bear them.
They got married a month after Stacey`s seventh year ended and accepted an intership from the Ministry of Magic. She has never regretted her choice to marry so young, and she loves Aiden more each day. Her mother may not approve of her choice, but her father couldn`t have been more supportive of the young couple. Hayden, who now lived with Carrie, takes after his mother in more ways than he knows. He stayed with his mother when James and Carrie got divorced just weeks before Stacey`s wedding. Stacey now enjoys her life with Aiden as his wife. She stays away from her mother as much as she can and struggles to control her still growing powers. She will find out later that things are not what they appear to be, but right now, she is perfectly happy, and loving her life. In the end, that`s what matters, right?

Perhaps, you can use the RP Bio form? And make it alot longer..
Good though...
Good.
Its pretty good but like Raven said try and use the Bio form.... it will make things easier to read adn understand.... plus more information so we can get to know Stacey better..
Like what the people before me said. You want to fill out the Character Bio form. And make it very detailed so we can know more about her. Like what are the things she likes and dislikes, her history, what she looks like ect ect. If you don't know what to put as your girl like how she acts just post in some post and over time you will get a good picture of who you want you character to be. Then if you want you can always redo your bio at anytime. You might want to look over some other character bios first. To see what we mean in all. You can look at mine, Billies is very very good to, and along with Ravens. Raven did a good job for her first bio.
I bet you will be great to.
Hope you have a great time on HPFF.
-KeKe
Muchs better!!!
Just to let you kno if you wanted to have all you info on one post then you can modify it.. and add things to it...
like raven said perhaps a actual form and please add more things.
it's good though! :)
Its very good!!
much better! :D
lol....good job with your bio Stacey
:).......... cute
wow...its to long im not going to read the whole thing, but i can tell it's a keeper...
sooooo...GOOD JOB!!
Wow, I must say that you have shown a lot of growth. I hope you are proud of yourself for growing so much. If you wish I can go into a more in depth look over of it and tell you where you can keep improving. I don't want to do this to people who don't really want it and will just ignore it.
I can see that you are growing and will be a very good RP-er someday.
Thank you Harry Potter. And I will take any advice you give me.
I have to say it was good from my point of view
yeah it very good.
Top tip: Update it every so often so if you change something about yourselves in your rp's it will show up on your bio. Also later on when yo've been here a while you can go back and use things (like powers you might have forgotten you had or an intresting fact) in your rp's to make them better. ;)
I never said it was bad, just offering to give her tops in her growth as a writer.
But first I must say I am blown away at your progress, that is where you can see if someone is really good at RPing, they can better themselves and grow with their characters. You went from bare minimum for this area to way above it.
First I must say, it is best to avoid names that can be asociated with a show or book. You can normally get it past with a fandom site but even there it can get a TAD bit messy if too many people do it since you get really complex family trees. I bet if someone did a tree of this place every female character from the books would have had like.....20 different guys and had over 30 children.
Appearance could always be better. The major thing is if you can picture your character in your mind. If you can do that then your description of them will grow and grow as your writing abilities improve. An odd place for it but I love the balance you put into your transformation. You took something that normally everyone has but actually did something that makes it so she wouldn't always want to be in that form. This is good since it makes RP more interesting and makes you see less marry sue.
I am going to skip over personality right now and get back to it with history since they tie in a lot together.
Odd likes and dislikes but that is what makes them human. If you can at times tie these into your Rp it would be really cool.
Powers...now this is where I can see how much you have grown. Most of your powers are very balanced, most new students just go overboard and give them everything they can think of. A tad bit much for 13 but still on the right track. Only one main element and the ones right around it, good control here. Your second one is very unique I love it but also leads to some issues with Power Playing and such. I think one way to fix this next time you remake her is to add something like she can only take so much so as she grows, she can handle more. This is true for most people since you can't absorb the full force of a person right away since you would probably fry your mind. Think if Stacy met someone 100X her power level? She would probably die right on the spot from absorbing all of it. This also removes the power play factor since this is what it is like...
Stacy can absorb all of a person's powers AND have her own, so technically she can beat any other person correct? Still, this is far less power playish then I have saw with other people.
History and Personalty are the largest hurdles to jump over for an RP character. These two things, if merged well, makes a great character, if merged not so well you get a so-so character. Here is the two main things to think about after you get the ruff outline of your characters mood and background in your mind.
What in my character's past could have caused them to act or feel this way in general?
Would this event in my character's past still effect them in the present?
With these two questions you link your current mental state with your past. This is true in every day life and makes your character more real. Think of it, if your character was raped by a dark wizard, would she have been likely to become one herself. BUT, she might have still become one to be strong enough to defeat the one that harmed her. See how these things can effect a person's mental state. This girl would probably be very nervous around other men from her past trauma. This takes a lot of time and skill, with some luck to pull off right. It all depends on how well you see your character in your mind and normally takes time to build up.
Again, you are still growing and I hope you become and even better RP'er then myself someday since I can see you got the base skills there.
Thank you ~Harry Potter~, your advice is very good and I will try to use it sometime! I really apreciate that you took the time to read my bio and look at the improvements, it made me feel special. =] I really love this site and I am on it most of the time that I`m on the computer. I have always liked to write narritave papers in school, so this was a really fun way for me to combine two of my favorite things. I LOVE Harry Potter ((not you, but the books and movies, lol, sorry)) and I am so happy that I found this site.
Thanks again. I modified it, so there are a couple changes.
how old is james 'cause i thout he was my younger not older bro of so then your my sis' lol
Sorry you're my Neice!!
uhm, no. Stacey isn`t related to Sirius or any other Black family member. When I made her up, I just thought of "Black." So she is not your neice. And anyway, if she was related to you, she`d be older.
O O.k Just there is a James in the Black family sorry
Not that I know of. James POTTER is Harry`s dad, duh, and he is not blood related to Sirius, unless you made up your own family tree thing.
No he's pearents are Sahara and Surius
not in the books, here, at the site, i don`t know, probably. but stacey isn`t a part of that family
