Past, Present, and Future

History: Her parents always seemed to be working. They were almost never home, leaving Risa and her twin sister to take care of themselves. Risa and her sister adapted very quickly, learning how to cook and clean with great ease. It also came to a point when their parents found that they had learned all this and started to stay at work longer. As Risa grew older, she got smarter. She was very smart and mature for her age. Her parents seemed to be fond of this, seeing as how their kids were able to take care of themelves. This way they could get more money and work longer. Through those years, Risa and her sister grew closer. they did everything together and never made choices without the other's approval.


Here and Now: Risa has become a very smart child. She is only 11 and has the intellectual skill of an 11th grader. She is very mature for her age. It is quite strange and makes her relatives wonder about her. It was probably because she had to take care of herself and didn't see much of her parents as a child.

Long-term Outlook: Risa would like to become a skilled Occlumens. She is also highly interested in Defense Against the Dark Arts. She hopes to find a place she can attend to learn more about these subjects when she graduates from Hogwarts.


RP Sample: Risa sighed a bit as she opened the door. Upon arrival, a yawn escaped her mouth, hinting that she was extremely fatigued. Her eyes gave a drowsy kind of look.

There were bags under her eyes and she looked pale. Her hair was a bit of a mess, just a bit more than her usual unruly hair. It seemed as though she could barely keep her eyes open, let alone walk in.

She stumbled a bit as she walked. This states that she most likely hadn't slept. Come on..wake up..you have to pay attention... She was trying to focus herself so she wouldn't end up falling asleep in class.

She often needed to force herself to focus. She had problems focusing on certain things. It was usually because she was bored but from time to time it was from lack of sleep. When she had lack of sleep she acted lazier and dazed. She also didn't panic.

As she usually would end up having to run through the halls because she was worried about being late, she just walked in slowly. She blinked, struggling to keep her eyes open and hold back her yawns.

After getting control of her thoughts she found a seat. She brushed the hair out of her face and rubbed her eyes with great effort. She sat down slowly, too tired to even bother to look around to see if anyone else was there.
