Hello! I'm ShadowBird12, but
I'm typically called Shadow
or Bird. I'm just a homesch-
ooled bi girl with way too
much free time on her hands
and anxiety issues. I'm an
avid roleplayer and writer,
as well as anime and cartoon
fan, and when I get into so-
mething I fully obsess over
it. Please keep in mind that
I tend to take things at face
value, and can have trouble
understanding sarcasm unless
it's blatantly obvious; but I
don't bite, so feel free to
talk to me!

Is this still active? I have a character who I'm slightly skeptical of, and I'd like to submit her here...
I'm socially awkward and sometimes terse - don't mind me.

Characters Full Name: Rose Syrup
Characters Nicknames: Bandung (it's a drink made of rose syrup; look it up), and a variety of rose-related puns.
Characters Gender: Female
Characters Age: 14 or so?
Characters Species: Dog
Fandom Character is from if its a fandom OC: CS - more specifically, the pet diary I own. Yeah, I know. Don't judge me. You don't need to read it to understand this bio, though - all you might find yourself needing to know is that the lore of the world involves six elemental spirits who created the universe.
Characters Appearance detailed description: Um. Though she's not short, Rose isn't particularly tall, either - she hovers somewhere in between, with average weight. Years of ballet have made her hind legs somewhat muscular, but as she tries her best to achieve a feminine, elegant physique, it's not as obvious as it would be otherwise.

She has a tendency to dress in bright colours, or the kind of clothing that demands attention. Fashion rules and trends are the one thing that she follows, meaning that she'll incorporate them into her outfits when she can.
Characters Personality, Hobbies, Fears, Dislikes, Morals, ect: Rose isn't the most honest girl on the block. If it benefits her, she has no qualms with fibbing here and there - and she's good at it, too. She often plans her lies out before people ask her about it, keeping track of them as well as she can so that she doesn't get caught with an inconsistency between her stories.

Above anything, Rose hates those who have talents or skill, but choose not to use them. If you ask her, it's an absolute pain in the neck, seeing someone with a great voice refuse to ever sing, or a strong person shrink back whenever someone wrongs them. It doesn't take a whole lot for her to get jealous - she's extremely arrogant and somewhat overconfident, believing that good things should come to her, rather than those losers over there.

Unafraid to give her opinion, Rose can - and often does - come off as a jerk. Frankly, she kind of is. She doesn't exactly get pleasure from insulting random people off the streets, but she does gain a sense of satisfaction from hurting those she hates. That would be okay, if not for the fact she hates just about everyone.

Depending on who you ask, Rose is either devoted or obsessive. She'll dedicate herself to whatever she's doing at the time, whether it's getting good grades, helping someone save the world, or perfecting a new dance routine. This she does to the point of sometimes forgetting her own needs, going days with little sleep. It's a trait that's both helped her and harmed her.

Creative and somewhat of a rebel, she loves challenging tradition. She won't make up fake flaws in a system, but she has a sharp eye, easily noticing loopholes in rules and problems with routine. Rose has a little of a soft spot for children - not because she finds them cute or anything, but because they're the world's future. When they grow up, they're probably going to throw stones at the previous generation or something if she's a jerk to them.

Rose is honestly terrified of space - "it's just so big", quoth she. She enjoys writing, usually grimdark fiction or high fantasy, and ballet.
Characters History. (At least two paragraphs please): Uh, I'm sorry, but I don't actually have anything for this section.
Other information: I'm mostly hesitant on her personality. She's supposed to be a jerk; your stereotypical popular girl. At the same time, I don't want the story to have such painfully obvious black-and-white morality, not to mention she's helping out the main character a whole lot, so she's supposed to have some redeeming traits as well.
Rules password: Chocolate syrup

It might sound odd for me to like a jerk, but I do! I like this character, and jerks, unless too ridiculously jerky, I have no problem with and can actually relate to. It depends on how you want people to view her as and what you want them to think of her.

One thing I will also note, is that it's okay to have her in a diary, I've done a few of those myself.
