"Oh now I do recall, we were just getting to the part
Where the shock sets in, and the stomach acid finds a new way to make you get sick.
I hope you didn't expect that you'd get all of the attention.
Now let's not get selfish
Did you really think I’d let you kill this chorus?"

GENERAL INFORMATION
Name: Gwendolyn Leigh Steele
Age: Sixteen
Birthday: April 21st
Year: 6th
House: Slytherin
Blood Type: A-
Orientation: Straight
Blood Status: Pure
APPEARANCE
Play-By: Saoirse Ronan
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 124 lbs
Hair Colour: Light brown/dark blonde
Eye Colour: Blue
Skin Colour: Slightly tanned
Distinguishing Features: Her ears are pierced once and she has a tattoo of a viper curled around her upper left thigh. She tends to keep her skin free of blemishes, but there's a scar on her stomach (right above her right hip) where an offensive spell backfired on her and essentially burned her.
Dressing Style: Gwen prefers very nice, fashionable clothing. She loves heels and will wear them in some form in all her shoes, save for sneakers. She likes nice, rich jewel colors to anything else, though she's also partial blacks, whites, and grays. Her robes are always neatly pressed and are typically darker jewel tones or completely black. She prefers skirts and dresses in Muggle clothing, but will wear jeans and sweaters when the weather calls for it. Her taste for jewelry is simple, yet slightly flashy. Her hair is typically down in feathered curls around her shoulders and her make-up is always precise, though she doesn't typically use all that much.
PERSONALITY
Personality Description: Gwen is incredibly temperamental. She won't hesitate to lash out, both verbally and physically, when agitated. Deep down, she knows that what she's doing is wrong, but she gets a sort of thrill from doing it. Quick to action and slightly cruel when it comes to dealing out the truth, Gwen has found that she hates her outward personality. Inwardly, she's caring and loving and just wants someone to care for, but she drives people away with her abrasiveness. It's a shame, in her mind, for she feels that she has so much to offer someone, both as a friend and as a lover, but her temper continues to snap.
Likes: Men, the idea of romance, Quidditch, Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, chocolate, warm weather
Dislikes: her temper, feeling out-of-control, the cold, the thought of being alone forever, the fact that she tends to drive people away, Divination, Transfiguration
Strengths: Quidditch, Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, her athleticism, her creativity
Weaknesses: controlling her temper, Divination, Transfiguration, keeping boyfriends/friends, her lack of effort in fixing her behavior, controlling her fears of being alone, her desire to find someone who'll love her and look past her temper

Wand Length: 9.6 inches
Pet(s): None
Desired Position: N/A
BACKGROUND
Mother: Leigha Tracy Steele (nee Vincent), pureblood witch, 43
Father: Felix Alexander Steele, pureblood wizard, 45
Sibling(s): None
Other Important Family: N/A
History: Leigha and Felix were actually worst enemies in school. They were both pureblood Slytherins, both coming from elitist families. Neither wanted to marry for the money, but their parents had the final say. They were paired together when Leigha graduated and were married shortly thereafter. It took many, many years to get used to the idea. Eventually, however, they came to realize that neither party was as elitist as their parents. They fell in love through their union and promised that they would never raise their child to be elitist, despite his or her purity.
It took many more years for them to conceive, but, finally, Gwendolyn was born. She was a lovely baby girl, but she never knew her grandparents. Her parents cut off ties to the elitist portions of their family, choosing a less traditional pureblood lifestyle. Gwen grew fast, but found that she'd garnered a temper that neither of her parents seemed to possess. They have no idea where she got it from, assuming that it was simply a phase that she'd eventually grow out of.
Gwen was Sorted into Slytherin and found herself becoming isolated very quickly. The girl has never held a boyfriend or a friend for very long, given her temper, and it's given her a life of solitude. Gwen hates herself for it, but she can't seem to find the right technique to fix her problems. Part of her is hoping someone will come along that will look past her temper and stay with her, regardless...
