[/ul]
APPEARANCE
HAIR: Deep Brunett, almost black
EYES: Blue
HEIGHT: 5' 6”
WEIGHT: 148 lb
DETAILED: Though she doesn't believe it, many would consider miss Bel to be a very beautiful young woman. Her deep brown, almost black hair has a natural curl and wave. If worn right, her hair tends to bounce as she walks along. At all times her hair has a healthy glean and an eye catching shine to it. Her particular hair color really sets off her skin and eyes.
Even in the summer, Bel is mildly pale, with just the right amount of color to give her skin a light touch of tan. Her skin is usually flawless minus the unavoidable wrinkles and lines that are just natural. She has never been plagued with acne, which has left her skin free of marks and scars. Despite the time she spends outside in the spring, her skin lacks any type of freckle or other sun caused flaw.
With fair skin to set the stage, Bel has a rather attractive body. Her legs are somewhat strong and very well shaped. She has luxurious curves that give her walk a bit of spice without her even being aware of the fact. The secret hidden by her lovely curves is the fact that Isabel is very toned and strong for her size. Most of this can be attributed to swimming.
If her hair, skin and body doesn't catch one's eye, then her own eyes certain do. Blue since birth, Bel's eyes are like hooks for the soul. A single word that best describes her eyes is piercing. When she looks at a person, its hard to look away. Her blue eyes are not the usual bright blue but a type of blue that is neither bright nor dark. When her mood changes so do her eyes. When she's happy or relaxed, her eyes tend to shine and be a little more to the bright side. When depressed or angry, her eyes loose the shine and tend to darken.

PERSONALITY
Water:[/u] Rather its swimming or just taking a hot bath, Bel loves the water. Swimming is one of her favorite physical activities and she takes pride in her swimming abilities.
Spring:[/u] Flowers, budding trees and green grass give Isabel an excuse to be outside. Its neither too hot nor too cold in the spring.
Storms:[/u] Isabel admires and loves the power and harmony found in a good storm, but just a light rain will do for her – as long as its a warmer rain.
Reading:[/u] When not working on an art project, Bel has her nose in a book. Reading is one of the ways she escapes reality and ventures off into new places.
Philosophy:[/u] The root of her beliefs, Bel's philosophies on life prompts her actions and she is always willing to debate philosophical view points.
Nature:[/u] Nature is the driving force behind most of Isabel's art work. She feels more connected with animals and plants than she does with most people.
Intelligence:[/u] Valued above almost all else, Bel holds intelligence in very high regaurd. Though sometimes lacking common sense, her book smarts are well developed and she enjoys intellectual conversations.
Night:[/u] In every day, the night is Isabel's favorite time. She especially likes laying out on warm springs night and observing the stars, planets and moon.
Learning:[/u] If there is something to be learned, Bel will attempt to learn it.[/ul]
DISLIKES:
Primates:[/u] Instead of spiders or snakes, Bel extremely dislikes primates. She thinks they are ugly and hates the idea that muggle scientists say all humans descend from them.
Stupidity:[/u] You know that kind of person that asks the stupidest questions or thinks that spending over one hundred pounds on a pair of jeans with holes in them is a smart move? Yeah, Bel despises them.
Veggies:[/u] Nasty, just plain nasty.
Rudeness:[/u] Bel firmly believes a good punch to the jaw is worth the while when someone is getting far too rude. In her opinion, being rude is being weak.
Boredom:[/u] No matter the situation, Bel hates boredom. Boredom in her undoing but usually she finds herself able to occupy her mind in one way or another.
Stinging Insects:[/u] One of her biggest fears – not to mention she is allergic to bees and wasps.
Animal Cruelty:[/u] Preferring animals over most people, it is understandable that Isabel would like to torture and eventually kill those who harm them.
Greed:[/u] Having seen too many lives and dreams destroyed by greed, Bel has come to absolutely hate the very concept of greed.
Excessive Drama:[/u] A little drama gives life some spice, but too much is just plain stupid and annoying.[/ul]
STRENGTHS:
Animals:[/u] Isabel is very connected to animals. She knows how to earn trust and how to treat animals of all kinds. One of the most notable things she does is rehabilitate injured animals.
Book-based Intelligence:[/u] Random facts, extensive knowledge of charms and spells and a talent for anything biology.
Swimming:[/u] Isabel prides herself on how well and how far she can swim.
Kindness:[/u] Except for the occasional bad day, Bel is known for how kind and sweet she can be – as long as you don't piss her off – then she will be the biggest bi*ch you will ever know.[/ul]
WEAKNESSES:
Common Sense:[/u] Sadly, Bel lacks in the common sense department. For that reason, she if often asked if her natural hair color isn't brunett.
Men:[/u] I don't think this needs an explanation – what woman doesn't have at least some trouble with men?
Organization:[/u] Besides the tools she uses for art work, Bel has a distinct problem with being organized. But then again, messiness is a sign of genius right?
Low Self Confidence:[/u] Despite all her talents, Isabel actually has rather low self confidence.[/ul]
ERISED: To love and be loved.
BOGGART: Loosing those she cares about.
DEMENTOR: What her first and only boyfriend did to her. (No details will be provided, for obvious reasons)
DETAILED: Isabel's personality is hard to describe because it changes on a day-to-day basis. If she's in a good mood, then Bel is light and somewhat bubbly. If her mood is fowl, she is very reserved and broody. However, there are aspects of her personality that doesn't really change. For instance, she is very sweet and has a kind heart. As long as you give her no reason to dislike you, Bel will be on the sweetest, kindest people. The double edge to her kindness is that if you do give Bel a reason to dislike you, she will likely always dislike you and do everything she can to make your life hell.
On the average day, Bel is often somewhat quiet and a little reserved but also has the potential to be talkative and open. Admittedly, her talkative nature doesn't come out well with men because of her apprehension about the opposite gender. Rarely will she speak to a man without him first talking to her.
Aside from being a little quiet and very sweet, Bel is a nurturing soul. If she comes across someone who looks down, she will try to cheer them up. If she comes across a hurt animal, she will try to help it. Negativity and depression bother her, so she does all she can to make the situation more positive and happy. However, Bel is always guarded. She doesn't trust easily and it doesn't take much to break her trust.
Morals and intelligence are important to Bel, and if one has a particular moral or thought process that deeply conflicts with her own – she simply won't converse with that person. When it all boils down, Bel is just a complicated but good person that has an odd personality that can be both good and bad.[/ul]
HISTORY
MOTHER: Elizabeth Edmund-Brandon, 40, Muggle-Born
FATHER: Thomas Edmund, 49, Pureblood
SIBLINGS: None
DETAILED: Isabel was born at 5:15 am on the morning of February 12. Unlike most births happening in the Modern Age, Bel's mother choose to have Bel in the comfort of her own home. Out of respect for her parents, Elizabeth refused magical treatment and care during her pregnancy. As a result of this choice, Elizabeth's labor was long and intensive.
Until the age of two, Bel was an only child and a very spoiled one at that. Unfortunately, her mother suffered a miscarriage and would suffer two more over the course of four years. The loss not only hit her mother hard, but Bel as well. Emotional strains in the house only got worse when, at the tender age of seven, Bel discovered her father having an affair. Elizabeth, being a loving woman, refused to divorce Bel's father but the damage on Bel and all trust in the house was already done.
Childhood for Bel was stressful. Fights constantly broke out between her mother and father and often Bel and Elizabeth would stay with Elizabeth's parents for days at a time. But aside from the strife with home life, Bel grew up with plenty of friends around her. Unlike how she is today, Bel was a very happy and bubbly little girl and very outgoing; but that would change all thanks to one man.
The summer that Bel turned thirteen, she got into a relationship with a seventeen-year-old muggle-born. For two months all was well, but after that he began to emotional abuse her. Later emotional abuse gave way to physical abuse and eventually unspeakable evils took place. Shortly after that particular young man mysteriously vanished.
After the trauma she suffered, Bel dramatically changed. She because withdrawn and dived deep into studies and the arts. Due to this change, her friends eventually estranged themselves from her and she was left to be the current loner she is.
However, despite the horrible things of her past, Bel enjoyed her previous six years at Hogwarts. Being able to learn all about magic is a highlight in her life and she excelled in all her classes - having nearly perfect grades. Devoting so much time to her studies made it difficult for her to gain friends, but she felt the lack of friends was worth the results in her classes. Now with this one last year remaining, she intends to make all perfect grades and perhaps figure out what she wants to do with her life.

RP SAMPLE:
The morning dawned bright and beautiful. Flowers slowly opened to expose their colorful petals to the world. Birds began to sing their songs and flutter about in the search for food. The sky was bright blue with not a cloud to be seen, and as usual, Isabel was awake and outside to great the rising sun.
Pushing back a tendril of dark brown hair, Bel smiled as she prepared herself to begin a new painting. She had with her paint brushes of all sizes, several pads of thick panting paper, a pallet, and several small bottles of different colored paint. An apron with dried paint all over it protected her new white sundress. She kicked her white sandals off beside her and took a seat. Slowly, methodically she set out her tools before her – the only time she ever was organized.
Seated comfortably on the soft grass, the young woman placed the painting pad on her lap and a pallet full of all sorts of colors next to her. Delicately she dipped a fine point brush into a hue of red and applied it to the paper. Dip, paint, dip, paint, switch brush, dip, paint, dip, paint, clean brush, change color, dip paint. On and on the serenade between painter and painting played.
When all was said a done, an almost realistic picture of the sunrise sat in Bel's lap. She smiled at her work and put the date of her creation on the back. Carefully she set her work aside to let it dry. With a small contented sigh, she laid back and let the plush grass cradle her slim frame. Deep blue eyes watched the birds and butterflies overhead and eventually big, puffy, white clouds floated at a lazy pace by her.
After several minutes of just enjoying the sunshine, Bel stood and removed the apron and her sundress. Being a prepared type of girl, she had on underneath a white bathing suite. Tying her hair back into a messy pony and waded out into the water. True she didn't know what was beneath her, but honestly she didn't care. She rested back and let the water hold her body afloat as she hummed a soft melody. She left her supplies and painting on the shore, surely no one was out an about at such a early time.
