APPEARANCE
HAIR: Blonde
EYES: Blue-Green
HEIGHT: 5 feet and 4 inches
WEIGHT: 107 lbs
DETAILED:
The girl with the geeky looking glasses, a description that suits Christabel almost perfectly, a carbon copy of her mum. Both stand at almost the same height of five feet and four inches and sport the long, wavy blonde hair although Christa's mom has it better in terms of the mess of curls, in addition to that, the color is very much real though the same cannot be said for her straight teeth since she had braces at the age of seven. She does inherit her dad's blue-green eyes, completely different from her mom's chocolate brown ones. If one were to presume intense reading were the cause of her having to hide such beautiful eyes ( as her dad describes them), truth be told, one day, vision just went all blurry, and mind you, this was before she discovered her joy of reading books.
Her complexion is fair and nope, no rosy cheeks, although her lips don't require lipstick as the shade remains a deep, dark pink. Much like any other teen, she has the occasional zits due to late night studying and the like, thankfully though, they don't measure to the size of a truck. In terms of how she carries herself, not really the awkward and clumsy kind of movement, but with grace and thankfully enough poise to get her from one destination to the next. The expression she carries is one that tries to show she can be a person who can take charge of any situation and not just be the anti social butterfly who very well may be a walking encyclopedia.
Her most favorite attire of the day can be anything under the sun, provided of course, a light jacket or anything else of the sort close to the description covers her up. She does make it a habit to pair whatever top she decides with skirts or shorts and always, whenever possible, sneakers. Very mugggle-ish and proud of it to. Although she wouldn't protest to her uniform which she treasures so dearly. At all times as well, she likes to carry around a watch.

DETAILED:
Just because she wears the particular eyepiece doesn't automatically place her in the same league alongside Einstein and the rest of the geniuses out there. You may agree that its the number of books she's read ever since she learned how to that gives her an intelligent advantage, with a strong edge on random stuff that not a lot of people know. The more unknown it is, the more interesting it is for her. In terms of educational study though, she manages to scrape good enough grades whilst applying her love for reading into her study habit.
She is the type of friend who would remain loyal to you as long as you do nothing to rock the boat. Although of course the starts of her first meetings with anyone as on an awkward status, not really knowing how to start of a conversation. Once you get to know her better though, you'll find her to be overall friendly and easy to talk to but be warned though that she has tendencies of freaking out over little things and is often whiny early in the morning which suggests that she is no morning person. Another thing she carries with her is the ability to see life's lessons a little out of the box, making her read between the lines which is a useful tactic in studying as most students cram every word and punctuation mark into their cranium as a means of studying. Her mother would often say she could do a little better if her head wasn't in the clouds most of the time. Sometimes even literally as she adores flying and finds the whole concept of Quidditch to be fascinating, when not engrossed in other matters.
With one of her dislikes being bullies, she is lucky enough to have enough patience to tolerate them yet until of course they reach a certain peak where she finds it most proper to whip out her wand and hex them into the next century but she is careful to make sure not to even try to get into situations as such. Her weakness though, if she doesn't mark you as a foe is that she can be easily manipulated into doing certain things which she may regret later on. This being so because of her being naive to the fact that there are people who find it irksome to hear her sputtering random facts in front of their faces, hence, they find it amusing to return fire by getting her into sticky situations.
Lastly, she is quite the determined one. When she sees a goal in plain sight, she makes it sure, no matter how many bumps along the way, she achieves it. Her dad would always tell her that if she remains focused, and knows she can succeed, then there shouldn't be any reason why it shouldn't or can't be.

HISTORY
MOTHER: Martha Anne Roussel, 40, pureblood
FATHER: Scott Roussel, 41, muggleborn wizard
SIBLINGS: Sussanah Marie Roussel, 10, pureblood
DETAILED:
October 24, 1996 marked a the third new beginning for Scott and Martha Roussel. The baby girl was named Christabel after her mom's sister and Margaux, taken from Scott's great grandmother as a dying wish. At the start of her childhood, her parents could see no harm in educating her early but in the muggle way as Scott did during his younger years. This move seemed to earn disapproving looks from Martha's parents who firmly stuck to the wizarding way which was to educate the child before he/she goes to school on everything they can say about magic. The decision though, to send her to a muggle school for elementary proved the breaking point in her becoming a witch.
As a child, she gained her love of reading books from her mother who was constantly reading to keep up with her auror training. Her preference of course wasn't on spells and magical theory but rather on stuff you never really thought about before, both coming from the muggle and wizarding world. She was as her grandfather often described "bright as the sun". Oftentimes she would get into trouble and try her best to reason out with her parents using big words she would pick up from books she's read without really knowing the meaning of the said words. But she was quick to learn and explore.
Now coming from a family of French descent, there would be people who wonder why Hogwarts? The tradition of Roussel's heading off to Beauxbatons ended when the family moved to London for better job opportunities. And with Scott and Martha graduating from the same alma mater, there was no doubt in the fact that once she had reached the age of eleven, Christabel would be going to Hogwarts. From the moment she received her letter to the first of September, she would constantly read up on everything there was to learn about Hogwarts and what to expect. Once the big day came at school, she not only found herself fully immersed into the world of magic but on stuff that needed more than just plain old reading.

RP SAMPLE:
RP sample from another site:
Lazy mornings were never Addy's thing. As she continued to look up from her four poster bed, she emitted a loud sigh, hoping for one of her roomies would take it as a sign that she wanted to go anywhere but here. After a silent reply, she pushed herself up to inspect the surroundings, very much disappointed to see that two of them were sleeping and one seemed to have disappeared.
Knowing that she would rather die than succumb to sleep, she slipped into her bedroom slippers and quietly left the room, with her wand in hand. Her first instinct of course was to head over to the boys common room and pester her brother to death but she chose another thought that occupied her mind. It did seem to serve as a better option that the first thought.
Once she had managed to exit the common room, she began to mutter instructions silently to herself whilst making turns here and there along with going down the stairs. Oftentimes she would stop and furrow her brow into a frown then go back a few steps until she found herself on the right track. Her walk seemed so concentrated that she felt she may have managed to avoid a couple of students she knew along the way. After a last turn to right, she smiled when she faced a familiar portrait she had visited not to long ago.
She began to tickle the object in the painting til it gave a slight jerk before opening. She hurriedly scuffled in an was greeted at once by a dozen house elves who bowed at her sight. She gave them a grin and wave in return, this was then followed by an order for a mug of hot cocoa with marshmallows. It didn't take long for them to complete the order and after the first sip, she didn't care if they had taken all year to make it, it was even more excellent that when they served it for breakfast at the Great Hall. She had opted to finish her drink there rather than the trouble of bringing it back and forth. Once finished with her drink, she offered to wash the mug then with a last wave and a wave of thank you and your welcome, she headed out the portrait once again. She returned back to her dormroom and finally, succumbed to sleep.
