Date Of Birth: March 15th
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: Chelsea Summer stands at a height of about 5'0 even with piercing blue eyes. She has a somewhat pale skin complexion, which is offset by her orange hair. She generally keeps her long hair down, letting it fall loose down to the middle of her back. Her bangs generally frame the sides of her face, with a few small strands hanging loose. Regardless of how she styles it, Chelsea always wears a thin, white clip in her hair.
In terms of clothing, Chelsea's style always varies depending on the time of day and where she's located. When in class, she tends to wear a gray, pleated skirt with black, knee-high stockings and dress shoes. A white, button-up blouse is generally worn for her top with a red and yellow stripped tie worn around her neck. Chelsea offsets this look with the traditional, black Hogwarts robe, complete with the Gryffindor emblem stitched on the front. When not dressed for classes, Chelsea dresses in a relaxed, yet somewhat still fashionable style. She tends to still wear skirts, usually black in color, with a pair of matching stockings and shoes. Her tops are usually purple in color, her favorites being in the style of sweaters or turtlenecks. Regardless of her style, Chelsea always wears a pair of silver, hooped earrings in her ears.
Personality: When getting to know Chelsea, many may think that she has been sorted into the wrong house. She can come off as a bit of a snob, often seeing herself better than those she attends classes with. She tends to put herself and what things she may want before others, and has even often been known to bend the truth and manipulate others to get what she wants, even to the point where some will be tricked into doing her homework for her. With a short fuse, it does not take much to get on Chelsea's nerves. In particular, it seems that those who are Muggle-born and first year students bother her the most.
Despite all this, Chelsea is actually quite talented and knowledgeable in regards to wizardry. She simply prefers to put her efforts and talents into a more hands-on approach. The thought of learning and practicing new spells and magic easily excites her, and the thought of one day using her skills to become a top graduate from Hogwarts constantly invades her dreams and desires. Chelsea also has a secret soft spot for cute things and Quidditch matches, although she would never dare to admit it herself.
Ancestry: Pure-blood
History: Chelsea had the extreme pleasure of being born into the Summer family of jolly old London, England. While Chelsea's father was a Brit, born and raised, her mother was an immigrant from Japan. Both of her parents came from a long line of wizards and to say they were prodigies of wizardry, both having studied at Hogwarts themselves. Neither of them were exactly secretive of their backgrounds when in the privacy of their home, so it was only natural that Chelsea would develop a strong interest in magic and the like when growing up as a child. Chelsea was born an only child to the two. Because of this, one could quite easily say that she was spoiled a bit while being brought up. Money was never really an issue in the Summer household, so there were not many times when Chelsea was forced to do without. In fact, there were even times she managed to manipulate her parents into giving her what she wanted. Despite all this however, she generally did love and care about her parents a great deal... which usually meant that she went a bit easier on them than others.
Chelsea grew up being quite popular among her peers and teachers when attending elementary school. She would often kiss up to the teachers of the school, working to get on their good side quick in order to further own exploitations of the adults. While it was not anything drastic, her behavior often aided in getting her an occasional point or two added to tests. She also managed to use her charms in order to get her fellow schoolmates to aid her with homework, sometimes even going as far as to get them to do it for her. Not all of her fellow students who attended the school were oblivious to Chelsea's actions. However rather than report her, they themselves kissed up to the girl, often doing favors for her in order for her to give them "assistance" with their homework and the like as well. Many would most likely see this as Chelsea being a bad student, though that would be far from the case. She was actually very knowledgeable in her subjects, mainly just seeing the homework as a bother to deal with herself... especially when she had better things to do.
Chelsea's parents often gave her miniature magic lessons while she was growing up. It was not any major sort of conjuring or the like. Rather, it involved more or less very simple tricks, such as levitating a book or something of the sort. Both of them were quite delighted that their daughter would show a great deal of promise and were more than thrilled when the day finally came for Chelsea to be enrolled in Hogwarts, much like they had in their youth. While Chelsea did not outright show it to her parents, she did have a bit of... distaste for the idea. By this point in her life, Chelsea had grown quite accustomed to her life back at home. She had friends and knew the people in her life well enough to know how to get what she want, when she wanted it. When she came to Hogwarts, it felt as if she was going to have begin life all over again from scratch... And that's just what she did.
It took a while, but Chelsea gradually began to make her marking into the hollowed halls of Hogwarts. Getting into a somewhat favorable position with such varied students was a bit difficult, but eventually the red-haired girl managed to worm her way into where she was comfortable. Now entering her fifth year as a student at the school of wizardry, Chelsea prepares herself for another year of comfort and smooth sailing.
House: Gryffindor
Curse: Chelsea's curse could be seen as a blessing for others, while being nothing but trouble for herself. The red-haired girl can hear and feel sad people's negative emotions. These feelings and sounds effect her overtime. The more she hears or feels, the more ill and/or tired Chelsea will become. The only way that she is able to deal with these ailments is to somehow manage to aid those with these feelings solve their problems and concerns.
Extra:
- Chelsea's wand is made of Holly Wood with a Unicorn tail hair core. It is seven inches in length.
- She has a pet, orange tabby cat with white paws. She affectionately dubbed the cat "Socks".
- Chelsea brags constantly about having a Japanese heritage from her mother's side, even going as far as to add on various synonyms for the people she meets and interacts with. She does not actually speak or know any Japanese of significance.
- Her best classes are Alchemy and Transfiguration.
- Chelsea despises the Sorting Hat, swearing up and down that he put her into Gryffindor as some kind of sick joke.
I will discuss in the OOC when I am about to write IC about the curse, so as to scout for other players who might be targets and get a feel OOC for what Chelsea could hear/feel IC and avoid godmodding.
