October~
I alone am the one you don't know you

Take heed feed your ego.
Make me blind
when your eyes close
Sink when you get close
Tie me to the bedpost.

Description:
Cursed with dark brown, elegantly curling hair and an omnipresent sun-kissed complexion, every aspect of her physical appearance screams Spanish. As well it should, her mother was. Her eyes are uneventful, remaining a constant brown, and at times when feeling particularly removed or depressed, attain a glazed over look. Her Spanish genes gave her medium height, nothing more than 5’5, but never satisfied she wears small heels, to raise her height an inch or so. She try’s to maintain posture as well, in hopes of coming off taller. She is thin, perhaps only because she doesn’t eat much. She’s not anorexic, just when she is particularly emotional and not involved in any physical activity, she doesn’t need more than two small meals a day.
Her Torso is longer, and her legs medium length, but its hard to tell because of the modest uniform skirt that she doesn’t bother to roll up. Knee length is just fine for her. There is no make-up in her trunk, she never finds time for it anyway, and wouldn’t need it to look presentable. Her lips retain a soft hint of red, but only so much as would naturally occur. She cannot help her rosy cheeks, because it seems any time she steps outside she gains some color in her cheeks. Her face is more square than oval, her lips are fuller as opposed to thinner, and her nose is straight, except when viewed from the profile, when a small lump appear towards the top from breaking it as a child.
She’s one who cleans up nicely. If she had the personality, her looks could be compared to that of a film star, mysterious, yet beautiful, and when making an effort can look particularly striking. But she was never really bitten by the attractiveness bug, and usually makes no effort to look beautiful for the opposite sex. In fact she tries to hide her beauty; it has been nothing but a burden.
In an infomercial about weight loss her body type would be categorized as a “ruler” straight up and down with rather slim hips and small chest. Her doctor worries that should she decided to, it would be extremely difficult to have children without endangering her own life, mainly because of her hips. She’s sworn off mother hood though, who would have time for children with all her ambitions, not to mention she really isn’t attracted to any of the male figures in her life (except Jeff or Alex…but it is yet to be revealed what will happen).
Persona:
Gaurded and non-revealing, she likes to keep the most important aspects of herself, her past, and everything else to her self. She was born an introvert and prefers to observe social situations rather than be a part of them. Give her a week and she could completely figure out the personality, quirks and tendencies, maybe even the secrets of another normal person, without even talking to them. She was really the epitome of wallflower, that is until she met Jeff and Alex. Having real friends who prove very difficult to decode, and figure had made her less inclined to sit in class and try her best to seem invisible.
Timid and shy (although not in the extreme right), she wont open up to you if she doesn’t know you well, which makes making friends very difficult. Granted she is more outgoing and open in the presence of her friends, she remains quiet in the company of strangers, normally not speaking unless questioned or forced to. She has a hard time saying no to pressure to do anything, because she doesn’t want to lose potential friends or make anyone mad at her. This makes her the least likely to dance at a party, unless she is asked, then she will, but very reluctantly.
Lacking experience in real relationships other than with her family, at time she can be very emotionally unstable. But normally after a few minutes she is able to cover it up with a well rehearsed smile. She is very Type A in some respects, seeking to control every aspect of her life, and when she loses control of what little she could, it spells disaster. She also has trouble realizing that all humans have need for some sort of social interaction, and that she can’t remover herself from society without some consequence.
History:
Born in a stately home in the south of France near the town of Jarnac, she enjoyed a strong bond with her parents, and a relatively trauma free child hood. Her father traveled a lot with his dress/robe making business, acclaimed by many of the wizarding world’s upper class, so she didn’t see him often. Her mother was intelligent, claiming several degrees in various subjects from a magic university of which October cannot remember the name. As a young child, because of her parent’s status, she attended many balls, dinners and functions, perhaps the cause for her spotless manners and polite nature. Both of her parents posses magical powers and bordered ecstatic when October received her Hogwarts, and Beauxbaton letters. Her parents, both educated in English magic schools decided Hogwarts was the best choice, and with many a tear and parting hug, they sent her off to continue her education, in a public situation. Before, she had been home-schooled by her mother.
Attending boarding school was quite a shock for the reserved, polite and quiet girl. She never failed to follow the rules, and complete her home work, but always fell short in the relationship department. The cause for this could have been she waited for the other students to approach her rather than vice versa. She had virtually no relationships until fifth year, until she met Jeff and Alex. What will happen there is yet to be revealed...
Style:
Her style is more prim, tailored, and elegant. Normally all she wears is her uniform, but occasionally supplemented by simple silver jewelry or a pair of pointy toed heels, but rarely. The only bit of extravagance in her wardrobe happens to be her dress robes of grey, which her father fashioned after a mask he bought her from Venice. He was traveling during Carnival and could not resist the opportunity to make his daughter a dress befitting of royalty. Knowing how much it meant to her father she accepted the gift, but to this day has never worn it. She is afraid of it in a sense, because it makes her look like a woman, confident, cool, elegant, composed, and beautiful. Her tendency is to wear her uniform for one reason, it hides her figure. She does not want attention, and such a dress would only bring that, in larger quantities than she could handle.

Fears:
She fears angering anyone, she hates to have people upset with her. In a way she also fears physical contact that she herself does not initiate. And commitment, because she fears that if she gets to attached to someone or something, if something happens to them, she will just feel more pain.

She is extremely ticklish.
