History/Background: Jade was born in January in Spain and grew up quite normally until one day in winter Jade grew quite ill and by the time she was better she had lost her speech and hearing. Jade’s parents took her to a doctor to see if he could help her get back her speech and hearing but of course he said that there was nothing he could do about it and Jade would to have to live with it. But Jade wasn’t satisfied and one day she discovered SIGN LANGUAGE! She studied and studied and became fluent. For the next couple years Jade went to numerous muggle schools until she and her parents discovered her “special” abilities and sent her to a school with other people with magical talents. Jade’s first year was a bit rough but she has grown accustomed to everything and she is now in her 4th year. jade got her scar from being burned when she was a baby while her mother was cooking and got her too close the stove and Jade burned herself. by the time it was healed there was a lasting scar and it was in the shape of a star.

Looks good aside from a few slight issues.

1. If she can't talk, how can she sing?
2. Fourth-years cannot be Animagi. No exceptions.
3. How did she get that rather interesting scar on her cheek? It's not mentioned in her history.

Just clear that up and we ought to have something here.

Just to clarify, the "model" is someone whom your character resembles (for example, celebrities and the like). It's not necessary, but I'm just clarifying.

I agree with all that Kitty has said, but I have a few more things to point out.
1) Remember, Valcentica is in Spain. When/why did Jade move from England to Spain? (Or you could simply change her birth location.)
2) Grammar. You have run-on sentences, so please try to pay a bit more attention to grammar. ^^
3) From how far away can Jade sense people coming? I just want to make sure it's a reasonable distance.

[Jade Windsend]

oh..i didnt know valcentica is in spain....well now i know so thanx for telling me. god that was stupid for me to put that she can sing even though she cant talk...i always miss stuff like that when i put the application on here. ok she cant sing. ill modify that. and i will change the birh location, and clarify how she got the scar. by the way what would you say is a reasonable distance for being able to sense people?

[Ann Xiang]

A reasonable distance... hm. I'd say several yards, and it'd intensify the closer the person in question got. What do you say, Kitty?

And also, I forgot to ask before - is this ability involuntary, or does Jade have to concentrate to use it?

[Aleksei Trevelyan]

Sounds reasonable to me.

[Jade Windsend]

the ability is voluntary. and yea maybe like seven to nine or so yards away. and when the person got closer it would intensify.

[Ann Xiang]

Mmkay, it seems fine to me. Like I said before, though, watch your grammar.

You can start RPing if you like - I'll keep this thread here in case Kitty has something else to say.

I modified my post and now my character has redish blond hair instead of brown hair.
