[ Character Age: ]
[ Country of Citizenship: ] England
[ Occupation Requesting: ]

[ Physical Character Description: ] Vanessa is a fairly tall girl, with long brown hair and silvery blue eyes. Most people focus on her eyes before anything else, as they stand out the most. She is also a very pretty girl, with a stunning smile. Not that she’s too full of herself, but it’s what she’s been told.
To look at her, Vanessa looks like what some would call a “wimp". However, she is far from it. Although she is very thin, she is also very strong and one would not want to tangle with her. Being the younger sister, and having a brother who used to be a Beater, Vanessa had to learn how to defend herself. Her brother taught her how to look after herself if she needed to defend against someone and was unable to get to her wand. She does not enjoy using force of any kind against someone, but would is she needed too.
She is also in excellent shape from playing Quidditch. She joined a team in England that played against other teams around the country for fun. She has played since she was about 7, and always had the position of Keeper.
[ Personality Character Description: ] Vanessa is a fun-loving, outgoing, and spontaneous girl of 16. She loves laughing and love life. She is often cracking a joke, and making other laugh. Vanessa is also a very thoughtful person, often worrying about the well being of others before herself. She is also a leader, and usually has a large group of friends with her. Vanessa’s laugh is very contagious, and often makes others laugh when they hear it. She is usually hyper and jumping around, but as most people do, she has her bad days.
Vanessa’s bad days are not fun for anyone. Her violent mood swings are few and far between, but when they occur, they can last for a while. She is often snippy, and snaps at anyone who looks at her the wrong way when she is in one of her “moods”. She is ready to fight at the drop of a hat, and no one in their right mind would want to fight her. When her mood swings are over, she is back to the happy-go-lucky girl that she normally is.
Vanessa is also very competitive. Her favourite sport is Quidditch (obviously), but she also enjoys the Muggle sport football (soccer in North America). She loves to play both sports, and practices with her brother when she’s home for the summer. However, she is very hard on herself when she does something wrong. Vanessa is always pushing herself to be better in sports, as well as in school, although she is already a fairly good student. She doesn’t like to have a lot of work, so she doesn’t slack off and leave everything to the last minute.
[ History: ] Brought into the world on June 25th, 1990 to Kyle and Jude Adams, Vanessa was a troublesome child. Right from the very beginning, she was always causing trouble and running her parents ragged. With the help of her brother who is a year older than her, they successfully annoyed there parents as much as they could. Her mother, Jude, found it funny and often laughed it off. Her father, however, did not. This mattered little to young Vanessa and she continued her troublesome ways, all the way through the Muggle school she attended and right up until she attended school magical school.
Although she was born, raised and is still living in England, Vanessa attended Beauxbatons Academy at her mother’s request. Her father was not to please with this, wanting her to attend Hogwarts instead. This, and many of other factors, contributed to her father leaving the family when Vanessa was still very young. Vanessa, her mother and her brother took her mother's maiden name of Harrison, which is what Vanessa goes by now. Her mother had a steady job, but it was barely enough to provide for her family. However, Vanessa still attended school, as her mother wanted her to have a good education and vast knowledge of the magical world, as well as the Muggle world. As it was in France, Vanessa was forced to learn how to speak French to complete school. She in fluent in the language and can change quickly between that and English, although she holds on to her English accent.
Life at Beauxbatons was great and Vanessa enjoyed it a lot. Vanessa was doing well in school, receiving Os in almost all of her O.W.Ls with a few Es and As. Everything seemed to be going perfectly until, inevitably, tragedy struck. In the first week of summer vacation, Vanessa received the news that her father had been killed. Even though she had never been too fond of the man, he was still her father and Vanessa took it rather hard. She has spent the past summer in mourning, but feels ready to go back to school, attending Hogwarts now instead of Beauxbatons as a tribute to her father.
