The words never judge a book by its cover could never be more true. Sarah might look dark and depressed, but behind her mask there is a whole real person.

what you look like.
Hair: Sarah loves to change her hair a lot, but generally it is about medium length reaching to just below her shoulders and a dark color of either black or dark brown.
Eyes: Sarah's eyes are her favorite feature, as they seem to stand out in comparison to the rest of her features. They are an oceanic blue that sometimes has a green hue to them.
Skin: A slight, but barely there tan covers Sarah's clear skin form.
General Appearance [Two Paragraphs]:
Sarah's appearance can't ever really be predicted. Since she works so strongly and often in the theater as so any different roles, then she is keen on taking those roles and having a new hair do or style for a bit. She just likes to live and let the life of her theatrics live through her body and appearance.
Her clothing style might take a turn to whatever part or whatever comfort that she cares for at that time. Generally, though Sarah likes to be in jeans and a pair of comfortable shoes while at practice or in a dress. There is something about heels and a nice dress that just makes Sarah feel....exquisite. When Sarah looks in the mirror she sees a girl who lost too much too young. She sees someone who should be depressed, but that smile and those eyes tell a new story.

Patronus: Sarah's favorite memory is when she preformed for the first time. The crowd had gone wild and the clapping had amazed her after that first performance. Her patronus is a green finch.
Mirror of Erised: Sarah sees herself on Broadway as the main female role.
Personality [At least two paragraphs]:
Sarah is by no means what she seems from the outside and her looks. She might keep to herself a large bit, but people who take the time to get to know her well enough will tell you what a wonderful person she really is. Sarah loves to make people laugh, and she'd give her own life just to keep someone else happy. She is a compassionate woman who hides her own grief in the shadows. Sarah, like the rest of us, feels pain, but unlike most she hides it because she thinks she can conquer it all on her own.
Sarah has a problem showing the people around her the real person that she is. She comes off as strong because she has been basically raising herself for the past two years, but in reality she sometimes goes home and cries into her pillows at the loss of her parents still. It is a pain that she worries she will never get over. She decided that to take things day by day was the best and only thing that she would be able to do.
Having never been anything but mediocre in classes has helped Sarah a good bit in the long run. As she can now use different kinds of potions, charms, or transfiguration spells to work with her appearances and make herself into whatever character she wants to be. She still has no green thumb, so she hasn't even bothered with plants. Though she does keep some dried roses that she has received over the past years in a vase.
Sarah has a passion for writing that mostly comes from her love of acting. She has a way of twisting and saying words so they come out in the most eloquent way. Sarah though does not and will not print a lie, so she may use the words that seem excellent, but they print the cold hard truth. It is one of her traits that she worries will make her loose her job.
Good Traits [At least two sentences]: Sarah is good to everyone, and she truly believes in a thing called innate goodness. Which is when a person believes that everyone has god within them and that a person is good until they prove you otherwise. Sarah also had a keen sense of laughter, as she loves to laugh and will do anything to get someone to crack a smile.
Bad Traits [At least two sentences]: Being an actress Sarah is really hard to catch off guard. She knows well how to hide her true feelings, and she will do anything she can when it comes to holding in her own feelings so as to not cause problems. She is a critical thinker and she over thinks things and tries to analyze any situation that can arise form saying one thing.
Favorite/Best Subject: Sarah's best subject would have been Charms.
Hated/Worst Subject: Sarah's worst and most hated subject was Herbology, as she never could get that class to go right.
{ THE PAST .

Family Members:
Father: Oliver Ferguson (Wizard)
Mother: Marietta Jacobs-Ferguson (Muggle)
Family History: One would think that growing up with parents who delved in the dark arts that the apple would not fall far from the tree. That was what people assumed when they met Oliver Ferguson. At first it was the truth, as the man attended Durmstang and learned anything that he could get his hands on to learn no matter how dangerous it could be. Oliver graduated form the school and then took a year to travel Europe before going into the work force. He'd heard that was how Muggles went to find themselves, and that was his plan. He planned to travel Europe and make a plan with some other evil or at least thinking evil people.
At some point or another things come along and change us, and that moment for Oliver was when he was told that he was going to have to kill a Muggle woman by the name of Marietta Jacobs. Marietta was coming to be a large star in part of London as playing the roles of females in Shakespeare's plays. It as said that she was an untouchable star. Oliver planned on taking that brightness form the world. He showed up in her dressing room not long before the end of one of her shows and sent himself to blend in like a chameleon. Marietta though put up a larger fight then Oliver expected when he began to try and kill her. Somehow this mere Muggle could not be controlled by the Crucio curse.
Oliver tried, but he did not have the strength to kill such a strong woman. He stopped his torturing with Marietta be binding her to a pole. A few weeks later Oliver returned to Marietta and he told her what he was, why he was now hiding, and what ti seemed her felt for her. No, it hadn't been love right there, but it had been respect and the want to know more. So, that was how the passion began between the two. It was several months later and the two had been living together as nothing but Muggles when Oliver popped the question.
Oliver and Marietta were married not even a month later in a simple ceremony, and it was about three years later that the couple expected what would be their first and only child. Sarah would be born and raised as any other normal Muggle child. It would not be until the day of Sarah's eleventh birthday (August 14) that the couple would relive the memories of the wizarding world. It would be a fight the two would fight in secret as their daughter went to school. A fight that when Sarah turned seventeen would take the two away from her.
Personal History [Minimum 2 paragraphs]: Sarah was raised as a normal Muggle child, and it was the fantasies of her father's magical world and made up stories and her mother's acting tales that Sarah would learn to live on. Sarah went to Muggle schooling and even had plain Muggle friends. The Wizarding world stayed a myth to her even if at one time or another she'd see a rather interesting man wearing robes in London.
It was on Sarah's eleventh birthday that she was told her father's stories were not fake but real stories that he'd lived. The mere idea fascinated Sarah, and she never thought that she could be more excited. Sarah was sorted into Gryffindor upon her arrival at Hogwarts, and to her it seemed to be a pretty stable place to be. She had friends who were similar to her, and she even learned how to play quidditch! She was chaser on the team for that year and that gave her as such of a high as acting always had.
The older Sarah got the more her parents told her about the life that her father was still trying to hide from. Evil people do not like to just leave someone that was almost a follower to just be roaming around with all their secrets. It was as if the more her father dealt with the situation the more Sarah was force to hide behind a smile to her friends. It was a month after graduation and Sarah had been auditioning for a play. She came home to see her house in shambles and both her parents dead.
Sarah from there on was forced to live on her own. She covered her pain and grief away and now lives in a little flat in Muggle London. She also works for the Daily Prophet as a journalist about a year ago. She's kept the rent by having that job and doing as many odd and end jobs that she can with theater.

Role Playing Example [Minimum 2 detailed paragraphs]:
Sarah had been in the Muggle play King Lear by Shakesphere himself the night before. She'd been the role of Cornelia the King's one true and honest daughter. That was the reason that Sarah had not wanted to arise from her flat's warm bed and go to work with the Daily Prophet this morning, but that was not possible as she had a deadline to make. So, Sarah arose from her bed and threw her covers to the side as she began to move about her flat.
It was nearly twenty minutes later that Sarah was ready for work. She'd made her way out the door and came upon a Muggle man. She gave him a smile before heading to the Leaky Cauldron. The dark and dank place made her smile as she realized that this would forever be apart of her. She did not know how her father had been able to give all this up. That though was a different time and place. That was a different world for him. Sarah's life was different. She did not have dark deamons chasing her.
Sarah walked ot the back and entered Diagon Alley it was only moments before she got the passage way to open. She grinned as the brightly colored umbrellas came to her eyes as she passed them. She looked to see she had time yet as the Daily Prophet's door were not even open yet. Sarah decided that she'd wanted some ice cream, so she headed to the parlor down the way. While she was walking though she ran straight into someone as she was in her own dream world. When she looked up she saw a seemingly farmiliar face. She began to help them pick up their things and then spoke, "I am terribly sorry. Do I know you form somewhere?"
Why You Think You'd Role Play as This Character Well: Not only is Sarah my own creation, but she is reflective of little parts of me. Also (since I didn't know where else to put this) I'm going to work on a male also to even out the girl to boy ratios.
