PERSONALITY: As Clarrisa knows, the past defines your future she can't understand why she isn't better than she actually is. Her mom's past was pure, so why had she decided to make her a Half by marrying a human? I guess you would call her stuck up, but she considers her self 'in other people's business' even though she knows it is wrong. She knows the difference between wrong and right, though sometimes she knows the wrong path would be the one that has the wildest ride, and that what she enjoys about life. The ride. She enjoys having the smarts that give her the evil mind, and the B's in school, but that is only half of the story. Most people now that she is titled to be adventurous and graceful. She knows where her head is, even when it is in the clouds. She is not weak and she doesn't need a man, though one wouldn't hurt.
Clarrisa would ultimately call herself one of the 'in people of society' in the human world. Though her looks may be plain she has an attitude, a ferociousness, about her that some people seem to like. Though sometimes, Clarrisa likes to play the innocent routine, the way she will gaze at you through her eyelashes, with a blaze in the back of her eyes, you know not to mess with her. She's proud, but overly confident, and is hated for it. Clarrisa isn't simple, but she has simplicity in the way she dresses, because she doesn't like to stand out. Her biggest flaw, the one that she considers the most, is the one of conformity. She thrives to fit in. She is never one step ahead or behind any fashion or attitude phase, and she hates that about herself, but it take 21 days to break a habit, and she doesn't have that kind of time.

MOTHER:Juniper Gretchel Day(Maiden Name)
FATHER:Keith Gretchel
SIBLINGS:A baby brother, 1 year old, named Kevin Gretchel
OTHER FAMILY:N/A
HISTORY: Clarrisa grew up on the story of Harry Potter. 'The Boy Who Lived' was a phenomenon in her house, and sometimes she felt second best to him, and that just wasn't normal. Now, Clarrisa did not have a bad child hood. Higher than middle class, and a little lower than the rich, she grew up quite comfortably.She was an only child most of her life, so the spoiled attitude of her comes from strictly that. Clarrisa always had a feeling that she was going to do something when she grew up, but it wasn't to take after her mother's side of the family and inherit the wizarding family jeans. As soon as Clarrisa did her first trick from anger, her mom, decided it was time for Clarrisa to learn the wizarding ranks, and that she was considered a Half-Blood. Now, this came as a shock to Clarrisa because she wasn't used to being second best. At the time, she had her parents to her self, and she was the most loved, never before had she been, or done, anything Half-way. So as Clarrisa considered her mom's word on being half, the question came, "I think you need to go to Hogwarts, but do you want to?" Clarrisa couldn't say no quick enough. Before, she knew the story of the boy who lived was true, she didn't ever think there would be a school with werewolves, and things her mom called death eaters all over the place, and worst of all there would be pure bloods. People that were better than her.
So, that started the hiding half yourself from everyone. She had to kepp all the magic hidden at school, because her mom had also told her about the Salem Witch Trials, and she totally feared what would happen if she would start those again. Or worse, expose the wizard world once and for all, but never getting to experience it. Her mom and Clarrisa both knew that she was going to be ready in a time. Ready in time to go to the school that was designed for people like her, and it wasn't like it was in the old days, when Harry was still around. It changed, so that you can join anytime before turned into an adult. So as Clarrisa muddled over her thoughts for years and years, where all her fears came true she decided it would be better to fit in where she is meant to, rather than what she was doing here.
Saying goodbye to everyone in her, soon to be old life, was the hardest part of her past. Things she thought she wouldn't missed were the worst. How people looked in the morning at her school, the smell of linoleum. The summers with out teachers breathing down your back, and the inconstant supply of homework. She most remembers packing up her life into a box. How she felt when she did it, and having to choose what would go with her to her new life. When her mom can up to show her the Hogwarts letter addressed to Clarrisa Gretchel, she instantly wanted to rip it up. Who would be there in her new life. Would everyone be a different kind of creature, or pure blood, and she be the only one with Half of a wizard in her. Would that effect her magic skills in any way?
As she packed up the rest of her life, she took the letter, with the list of supplies and headed down to Erragon Alley. Her mom instructed her on what to do, and eve asked to come with, but Clarrisa would rather break down by herself, rather than her mom standing there breathing down her neck. She knew she couldn't back off now, her mom had said she was 'proud of her' which was something that she hadn't heard in nearly a decade since she had first declined to go to school when it was traditionally of age. Clarrisa remembered buying her first wand, and having it glow in her hand, and having to pay in something random currency that didn't seem to have anything to do with anything. She extremely remembered eating frog candy that actually jumped, and jelly beans of every flavor. All and all she ended up having a good time with the Alley and found that if she had to come back every year, that's what she would do. After the trip to get supplies, she was a lot more willing about going to the mysterious building, actually looking forward to it. And that's where she leaves off. Waiting for her turn to get onto platform 9 3/4.

SECRET WORD: mallypwnsyou
ROLE PLAY SAMPLE:
Clarrisa woke up to a new day. It was more of the new day to her, because it was the day when she would travel all the way to Hogwarts, to join all the other 1st years. The story of Hogwarts was famous, or infamous, which ever way you think of it, and lately it was being run by a Werewolf. Clarrisa got goosebumps on her arm. She had never been a fan of anything out of a scary movie, and werewolves have always been the things that scared her most. Now, she knew that it was abnormal to go into Hogwarts with a grudge, but she couldn't help it. She had a history, and even though last week she asked her mom to tell her the real story of werewolves it hadn't helped very much in her opinion. Clarrisa looked up to her suitcase standing there, like an omen it fell over, making her jump out of the bed, and nearly out of her own skin.
Clarrisa thought the best way to release all the tension that she was holding was to get into the shower, but it seemed that her normal grace was not working for her today, because as she walked down the stairs she tripped over her own feet and almost tumbled down. She would have, if her dad hadn't helped her. As he walked past her, a smile on his face, she couldn't help but thinking that maybe this was a sign of nerves. Was she actually nervous? Was she actually going to cry when her mom and dad waved to her from the platform that shouldn't exist in the first place? Clarrisa wanted the answer to be a definite no, but her cold heart was beating violently in her chest. She turned up and looked at the clock, as she walked in to the white kitchen. She only had 30 minutes to get ready, and to calm her nerves down, until her mom would push her into the car. "Mom, did you let me over sleep?" she asked to her hair-brained mother, who was trying her hands at an omlette. Clarrisa didn't stay for the answer though, because the clock had ticked down to where she only had 29 minutes, and all she really wanted was to be alone.
As Clarrisa surveyed the out fit that she had picked out for the day, she instantly remembered that the shirt was her friend's. The friend that was her best, and the one that she would not see again until summer vacation. Clarrisa was pretty sure that she had hardly mentioned that she was moving, but Anne knew enough. She knew she was moving schools, but Clarrisa had never told her where, and she hadn't asked. Clarrisa sighed to herself, as she got herself out of her sleeping clothes and into the clothes that would be propelled into a world that would never be her own. But who knows? Maybe she will turn out to like it, maybe the food will be the same, and the people will be nice. Maybe she will make more friends, and get into the house of her choice, but who knew? Who would know? Certainly not her. She heard a knock on her door, and she hurriedly put on her shirt, and went to open the door. Turned out, it was her mom holding a box in her trembling hands. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked holding to her mom's hands to steady them. "I just wanted to give you this. To remember me by," she said thrusting the box to Clarrisa as though it was lethal for her to touch. Slowly, opening the box she peered inside.
Clarrisa had to do a double take. At first glance, it was an ordinary piece of wood, but no doubt, as she glanced at it again it was a wand. Clarrisa didn't know what to say, but she knew what she was going to do. She went across the room, and got her Hogwarts bag, and took out the new wand and replaced it with the old one. 'I have to remember you now' was all that she said to herself before she heard the car door honk. It was time to go to her future.
