I want to know you
But what if I could ask you only one thing
Only this one time, what would you tell me?

character.
LYRICS, QUOTE, OR WHATEVER YOU WANT HERE.

Name: Kendra Aveline Llewella Dumbledore née Lloyd
Nicknames: None. Although if you were to call her Ken or Kenny you're most likely to be on the receiving end of a rather wry look.
Age/DOB: 28. 18th June 1857
House/Years: Ravenclaw. 1868-1875
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Immediate Family:

Percival Dumbledore (Husband)
Albus Dumbledore (Son)
Aberforth Dumbledore (Son)
Ariana Dumbledore (Daughter)

Marital Status: Married.
Blood Status: Muggleborn
Loyalties and Allegiances: Her husband and children.

Appearance: The one thing you could probably say about Kendra's appearance is that it's very Victorian. There's nothing ostentatious or even particularly beautiful in her form of dress. It's all fairly practical every day wear, with the only thing of beauty usually being in the colour or print of the dress.

As for her actual physical appearance the first thing you'd notice is that Kendra is rather tall. Ok, maybe not so much when compared to other ladies in the village, but as a woman from her time it was rather uncommon to be so tall. She has long, slightly wavy, dark brown hair and brown eyes. Kendra still appears youthful and is still mistaken for some much younger than twenty-eight years. It also helps that her face is, as yet, unmarked by time and the stress of having to keep secrets.

personality.
LYRICS, QUOTE, OR WHATEVER YOU WANT HERE.

Personality: (At least four paragraphs, though the more, the better! We would just like to see a well-rounded concept for your character that explores their depths and identity.)

Likes: being with her family, flowers/gardening, reading, walks, scones with jam AND CREAM!, a good cup of tea, needlework, knitting,
Dislikes: cleaning,
Strengths:
Weaknesses:

What are your character's fears? Losing her family or having them taken away from her; whether it's her children or her husband, Kendra would be devestated to lose any of them. Her only other fear is in disappointing them.
What are your character's motivations? As much as they're a part of her fears, her family is probably her greatest motivation. They're behind every thought she has, every move or descision she makes; without them she honestly wouldn't be the same person she is today.
Which TWO of the 7 deadly sins does character fight (or give into, willingly or not)? Explain your choices.

Envy: (fights against) Kendra has always felt a little backwards or behind others who grew up in or around magical households; envious of how the knowledge seem to come easier to them that it did her as she struggled to learn at the same time as trying to understand this world she was now a part of. However, as jealous as she was she never once complained or protested the unfairness (in her eyes) and did her best to use those feelings in striving to do better and learn all that she could.

Pride: Kendra has never felt there was anything wrong with being proud and confident, as long as one wasn't boastful about it. And if anything Kendra is a proud woman; proud of how far she's come since discovering she was a witch, proud of her husband and immensely proud of her three children (even if they are rather young and that it'll be many years before they're able to accomplish anything).

Which TWO of the 7 heavenly virtues does your character have (or fight against)? Explain your choices.

Chastity: In a time when it still wasn't considered exactly proper for a girl to be properly educated, except for those genteel activities that were considered proper like needlework and drawing, Kendra was of the belief that everyone had a right to an education. Early on in their marriage Kendra had already resolved that she would strive to teach her children whatever it was that they wished to learn regardless of whether it was magical or muggle and that they not be treated differently for those interests.

Kindness: Kendra had grown up being told to act and behave in a certain way as befitting a young lady. And she did to the best of her abilities as she could never disappoint her parents. However, whilst growing up, she decided that she could still be proper [like her parents wished her to be] but treat everyone with the same kindness she expected to be treated with [regardless of whatever their station in life be]. She will go out of her way to help other in need; which at this point in her life tends to mean if she thinks you need it she'll mother you like crazy and make sure you're all okay, happy and full of rainbows. ...okay maybe not quite that last one.

What is your character's deepest, darkest secret? Could they ever be convinced to share it? If so, with whom? If not, why?

The day before... the night before... the day of... even for the month leading up to the wedding Kendra was feeling nervous, like she had a constant colony of butterflies in her stomach or something. It was seemed as soon as she'd calmed down the sooner they flew back with a vengenance.

Kendra had gotten cold feet.

It wasn't even for a very good reason (at least that's what she'd realised later on). She'd got it into her head to start wondering about Percival's family and how they'd treat her, especially as she was a muggleborn and she didn't exactly come from a wealthy family either. If either her family or Percival had noticed she was acting odd, they might've tried coaxing it out of her or at least tell her to stop worrying.

Anyway the day before the wedding it'd gotten too much for Kendra and she'd run off to a childhood spot only she knew of... well, not exactly run-away-without-notice as she was staying with her parents until the wedding she'd had to tell them she was just going for a walk for a little while... she just kind of neglected to tell them when she'd be back. Every sort of worrying nonsense she didn't want to think of would pop into her head; what if Percival's family didn't really like her, what if his friends would stop talking to them, what if Percival was only doing this because he felt he didn't have a choice... It was at that moment she ended up laughing at herself for being so utterly ridiculous and thinking up all these horror stories. Luckily, for her, none of it changed her mind as the very next morning she married Percival and was the happiest she'd ever been.

But Kendra never told anyone, not even Percvival, that she'd gotten cold feet. As for ever telling anyone? If she were coaxed enough she might be willing to tell of it, though it would only ever be something she'd tell her husband or children.

(It is your choice to include or exclude family history. The application will be judged as a whole, and the inclusion or exclusion of a family history section will not affect our decision. At least five paragraphs that cover the most important aspects of your character's life, and that show us how they grew to be the person they are today.)

Preferred occupation?

Tailor - she knows how to work a needle; and although she'd dearly love to work with her daughter in doing embroidery she has a feeling she ought not to get her hopes up about it. She doesn't mind being the tailor, she just doesn't think it'd be entirely proper to be called such when she is in fact a woman.
Wool Spinner -
Dyer -

What year is your character from? 1885

Please list 3 - 5 plot ideas you'd like to work through with your character. These do not have to be major plots that affect the whole game, but please tell us what you specifically want to do with your character. Please make sure to explain your plot points. Wanting to meet the founders is not an acceptable plot point.

First Person Sample:
I... Where am I? This doesn't look at all like home. The village and houses all look very different and strange.

[...]

Oh no... no no no... [...] I need to get back! [...] Why isn't apparating away working?! I try to move and it just puts me a little further away from where I was before.

I need to get home to my children! They're only very little and I don't like to leave them alone for long, especially whilst their father is at work. The eldest is only three years old, he's not old enough to take care of the others; and my little darling.... she's only a few months old! [...] Pleaee I need to get home.

Third Person Sample: You can write it as when your character has first been set free into the village, or link us to an old thread; it doesn't matter. This is just to show us you can write. While we go for quality over quantity, please give us at least a paragraph to get a feel for your style.
