Alright!

I'm thinking about making a new character so I'll have someone on the train who's open.

I decided to make another character so I have someone who's open c:
Plus I felt like a goth character would be fun. (I had like the most cringeworthy goth phase in middle school)

General Information
Full name: Jacqueline Fay Carrow
Nicknames (if any): Jackie, Jack
Gender: Demigirl (she/her or they/them pronouns)
Age: 17
Birthday: April 28th
Sexuality: Gynosexual (attracted to female-bodied people)
Blood Type: Pureblood

Appearance
Height: 163 cm (approximately 5' 4")
Build: Lithe with some nice curves and a slightly muscular build. She has a delicate, slightly hooked nose, while her eyebrows are naturally slender. Her bottom lip is larger than her upper, but not considerably so. Her face is long with a rounded jawline. She has broad shoulders and a proportionate bust.
Skin Type: Very pale. She would call it "porcelain".
Hair Colour and Style: Jackie's hair falls down to her elbows and is dyed black, though naturally it would be blonde. It has somewhat of a feathery, fluffy look to it. It's typically styled in a side-part, allowing her bangs to fall in kind of a swooped slant across her face. Sometimes she'll put it in braids to keep it out of the way.
Eye Shape and Colour: Large almond-shaped hazel eyes framed by heaps of dark makeup. She manages to pull it off somehow, though.
Scars, Tattoos, and/or Birthmarks: Jackie's right eyebrow is pierced, and she has a small stud on the left side of her nose as well as directly under her bottom lip. Her ears are adorned with many piercings, including but definitely not limited to an industrial on the left side and a helix on the right. All of her piercings are silver - if asked about it, she'd simply reply, "despite my house, gold's totally not my colour." She has a small tattoo of a raven in flight on her collarbone and an occamy on the back of her neck, typically hidden by hair. On her right wrist is written two lines of a Villanelle by Dylan Thomas: "Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
Clothing:When not in Hogwarts robes, she typically wears mainly black and shades of grey. She absolutely adores black lace, and has a less profound affinity for corsets and ruffles. She wears a lot of dresses. She loves tall black boots and owns numerous pairs, especially with heels. She typically paints or enchants her fingernails black. If asked, she will say she's "rocking the goth look".
Jackie carries around a satchel made of black canvas with a variety of patches ironed to it and button pins stuck through it. Two pins read "she/her" and "they/them"; her preferred pronouns, while a multitude of others have pictures of birds and other things on them.

Digging Deeper
Personality: Jackie isn't what most would call nice, though she prides herself on being quite friendly and will talk to almost anyone. She tends to be brutally honest oftentimes and lacks a filter, typically just spouting off whatever random thoughts happen to pop into her head. Some people are typically turned off by her abrasive honesty. When it comes to friends, she tends to be fiercely loyal and willing to fight if a situation arises. Those who don't know her might think her to be intimidating upon first glance due to her appearance. Those who do know her might find her to be a bit irritating due to her general optimism and non-stop chatter. Jackie is probably one of the worst liars one might come across, especially given the fact that she hates doing it. She tries to uphold her house values and be as accepting as possible to others, though sometimes it can be difficult if they are egotistical flirtatious brats *cough* KILLIAN *cough*. The fact that she sees the best in everyone often leads her to be a bit naive. Though she isn't the best student, Jackie prides herself on always trying her best at everything she does, even outside of school. Being herself is a large part of who she is; her sense of self is incredibly important to her. Despite her general friendliness, Jackie is terrible with names and will most likely recognise a face before a name.
Likes: Spiders, snakes, birds, speaking her mind, the colour black, vampire lore, watching Quidditch games, almost any food, socialising, being unique, activism, poetry, MUSICALS ,warm weather, animals, astronomy, and carpentry.
Dislikes: Bullies, hypocrites, lies, being in charge, textbooks, lectures, being "out-of-the-loop", conformity, and winter.
Fears: Being alone, the dark, amnesia, small spaces, peanuts (she's allergic), and being like everyone else.
History: Jackie was adopted by muggles after her biological parents were arrested due to them being Death Eater sympathizers, possibly even Death Eaters themselves. She barely remembers her biological parents, and is quite happy living with muggles, despite the fact that she worries they won't accept her for who she is.

Personal Relationships
Parents: Melissa and Gregory Brown (adoptive)
Siblings (if any): None
Friends: A bunch of people
Enemies: Anyone who would be intentionally mean to someone else.
Crush/Significant Other: None yet
Pets: A female little raven named Shelby. Jackie is trying to teach her human speech, but the most Shelby can do for the time being is repeat back words and phrases.

School Information
House: Hufflepuff
Year: 7th
Title: Thinking about trying out for Quidditch; unsure.
Favourite Class: Care For Magical Creatures, Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Astronomy - Jackie loves to meet and learn about all of the different creatures in the magical world, and also possesses a profound interest in self-defence spells; particularly after she learned who her biological parents are. She always been particularly captivated by the wonders of space, so it seems to be that she would enjoy Astronomy class.
Least Favourite Class: Potions - somehow, Jackie manages to mess up almost every potion she's tried to concoct. Though she's not quick to anger, this class often makes her want to throw her cauldron across the room. Luckily, she failed the potions O.W.L. the year previous, and therefore isn't eligible to take it this year.

Magic Information
Wand Appearance: An elaborate, dark brown wand with a curved, almost sickle-like handle. It sports a twisting pattern at the grip and tip, and delicate etchings down the narrowing body.
Wand Wood: Black Walnut
Wand Core: Augurey feather
Wand Flexibility: Slightly springy
Wand Length: 28 cm or 11 inches
Patronus: Ferret
Boggart: Being both engulfed in a cloud of darkness and surrounded by herself.

Other: Nope
