[wand] 10.8 inch, willow, siren hair [boggart] Quicksand [patronus] Harry [in mirror of erised] Just herself (she's rather self-assured) [special abilities] None, unless you count her relentless determination.
[build/height/weight] Short and squat, pudgy but not fat. She's 165 cm (5'3) tall and weighs 70 kg (155lbs). [hair/eyes] Her hair is jet black and her eyes are huge and dark brown. (Sometimes she charms them other colors.) [identifying marks] She has a very eye-catching face, sometimes described as bold, mostly because her eyes are so alarmingly large (kind of like a puppy dog or a precious moment where you just have to go WOW). Also, her tits are gigantic and she usually shows them off. [style] Romi has never really been great with style. But she knows the basic rules. She doesn't wear pants that are too tight at the hip and waist. She doesn't wear shirts that are too tight at the waist, or turtle necks. She likes comfortable dark jeans and low-cut tops (to show off her massive clevage). She also likes round-toed shoes and boots, and won't wear anything pointy-toed. [appearance] Short and a bit round, not fat by any means, but certainly not thin or fit. She's very, very curvy in all the right places. She developed way too early for her age and way too much. And she flaunts every bit of it. She has learned very early how to use her body just the right way. Romilda does the best she can to wear the perfect clothes for showing off her cleavage and her curves. You couldn't exactly call her shape an "hour-glass" shape. Romilda will often tell you that she's gorgeous even at her size (which is a 13 in pants) because Marilyn Monroe was a size 14 and Romi is just as gorgeous as she was! Of course, you'd assume that all her ego is just a way to cover up low-self-esteem, but you'd be wrong. Romilda flaunts what she's got because she really loves her body.
Romi's hair is jet black and kept as long and straight as she can get it. She tends to cake on the eye make-up and not bother to put any on anywhere else. She knows that her eyes are quite possibly her second best feature (her best being her boobs, of course) and she does her best to accentuate that. Usually the colors are dark because her eyes are bright blue. She wears a lot of blacks, browns, and dark blues on her eyes. Every now and again she'll use crimson or purples, but only if it's a special occasion and her outfit matches. And really, her complexion is good enough that she almost never needs to wear any other kind of make-up. Not to mention that her lips are full enough without the addition of lipstick, though rather balanced by her prominent chin.
Her appearance is usually stunning, not necessarily meaning she's gorgeous, just that it's impossible not to notice her. She's a bit of a bold-looking girl, which fits rather well with her personality. When Romilda walks down a hall, even a crowded one, you can't help but notice her. It might be the way she carries herself. It might be her outfits. It might be her long silky black hair. It might be her breasts. But the point is, Romilda is the kind of girl that everyone notices, which is not always good, but she usually takes it that way anyhow.
[quirks] She has a severely obsessive personality. She grabs things and latches on until something else catches her attention. She won't take any kind of medicine. And she has a habit of spending money she doesn't have. [hobbies] [pet peeves] judgmental people. incessant tapping or clicking. [first impression] Irritating. Pushy. Bossy. [likes/dislikes] She likes Harry, obviously. She has a soft spot for animals. She loves to shop, especially for clothes. She likes teen magazines. She absolutely hates uncleanliness (her parents house, for instance, is usually a mess because of the amount of children there). She doesn't like the smell of mud (a childhood thing because her brothers liked to put it in her bed, often. And she hates taking medicine of any kind, pills or liquid. She'll do anything in the world to avoid that. [personality]
[family/pets] Her Parents are Daniel (1951, Gryff, doctor), Margaret (1953, Puff, doctor). Her siblings are Brighton (73, Claw, doctor), Theodore (74, Puff, psychologist), Sylvia (78, Beauxbaton, doctor), Osirus & Orion (81, squib, @Uni), Malcolm & Mackenzie (87, Gryff), Nathaniel (88, squib). [childhood/current residence] Chelmsford, Essex. Southend, Essex. [finances] Definitively middle-class. [friends/enemies] friends: Colin Creevy, Melinda Bobbin, Dennis Creevy. enemies: Voldemort, Most Slytherins, Ginny & Hermione (though she'll pretend to be nice to them). [sexuality/exes] Harry. That's it. She flirts and leads on other guys sometimes. She'll even snog them or date a little bit. But she is never serious about anyone else. Harry is the only person that she has ever loved (so she keeps telling herself) and she's determined he will always be the one for her. [turn ons/offs]
[history] Romilda grew up in home with six brothers and two sisters, and of these she was tossed somewhere in the middle. Her two eldest brothers graduated Hogwarts long before Romilda even got there, her older sister got a scholarship to Beauxbaton, and her youngest older brothers -twins- ended up being squibs. The younger twins and the baby boy of the family are still too young to get their letters and aren't looking promising. Romi's mother was a muggle-born who lost three sisters to the war. Her father was a halfblood, a great-great-grandparent somewhere up the line having been a muggle. Despite the loving attentions of her parents, Romi always felt like she had to yell and pitch a fit to get noticed by anyone (which was certainly not true). As a baby, Romilda was loud. She had colic, which gave her even more reason to scream. And gave her older siblings a reason to dislike her immediately. There was always noise in the house before Romilda was born, but afterwards, there was never even a moment of quiet. She was a demanding child, and excessively friendly and affectionate. She snuggled with everyone and anyone. Often she would run off in crowds and talk with complete strangers, causing her parents and older siblings great distress. They couldn't get through to her that it was dangerous, so they tried to divert her attention. Thus, Romilda's first obsessive behavior came into place. She was given a puppy that went with her everywhere. It was firstly to keep her attention away from strangers and to keep her from running off, and secondly so that when it got older (it was a German Shepard) it could keep an eye on her and keep her safe.
She attended muggle primary school before Hogwarts, at her mother's insistance, and nearly got expelled multiple times because she "couldn't keep her hands to herself". She also made it her duty to save every stray pet in her middleclass neighborhood, and as such her house now owns somewhere around half a dozen cats, four dogs, six birds, and a number of fish and rodents. In primary school she decided that she was going to become an actress (her second compulsive obsession) and thus has intense dance, music, theatre, and any other kind of training she could con her parents into giving her. Which they did because it was the only way to get her to shut up. Romi usually keeps on something until taken with something else, or until she achieves her goal. She hasn't achieved her goal, of course, but she certainly found a new obsession. As a child her Mum and Grandparents had gone on and on and on about the Potters and their noble work to help end the war. She heard tons of war stories, being that her three aunts were lost to it. And when news of Harry started surfacing in the papers, it was only a matter of months before Romilda decided that she was in love. By the time she reached Hogwarts, she was little more than a crushing school girl. It only took a year for that to turn obsession.
Hogwarts ended up being very much the same as primary school. Romilda's forward attitude earner her a place in Gryffindor. All three of her aunts and her father were Gryffindors. Her Mum and her older brothers had ended up in other houses. But Romilda took mostly after her father's sisters anyway. It didn't matter to her that her brothers were in different houses and her sister was at Beauxbatons, though. Romilda's natural friendliness and her outgoing nature made her lots of friends rather quickly. Quite a lot of people who were originally not entirely up for the idea. And while she's not necessarily the popular girl, but she's the leader of the pack certainly. She's the one with all the ideas and the guts to go through with them. She spends a lot of her time planning and plotting. Not tricks, usually, mostly just things that could benefit her. Or things that will get her noticed. She makes friends and strings along a number of boys, but she's determined that her heart belongs to Harry. She hates Hermione and Ginny with a fiery passion. But of course no one knows that. She's all smiles and bubbly when either of those two are around.
She never paid much attention to the war insofar as it involved Harry. If there wasn't mention of Harry, she didn't care. In fact, sadly, she has an entire photo album full of photos and newspaper clippings, as well as some very nasty things written about Hermione & Ginny. The only person who has ever seen the book, and will ever see it (until she and Harry are together, that is!) is Colin. She trusts him because he's the only other person who realizes just how amazing Harry is. She has passed the realm of crush and gone somewhere deep into the dark recesses of obsessive. And recently she has been entirely thrilled with the idea that Harry has left Ginny and is certain this is her time to make her move, though she's not entirely sure how. But she's determined to do it.
