Summary of characters personality:
Carmen is, to start, clumsy. She has the horrible habit of tripping over her feet and running into walls. But aside from that, she's a very nice girl. The reason behind this is that she likes to be accepted. So, she's friendly, at some times to a point where it's annoying. She knows to shut her mouth before she's gone way too far.
She can be classified as the talkative type. When a professor says something she sees as amusing, she can strike up a conversation about it in the common room that night. This can and does cut into study time, though, and thus her schoolwork occasionally suffers.
Carmen loves new experiences. If it sounds exciting, she'll go for it, even if she'll be ridiculed for it later. You only live once, might as well make it last.
Around her family, Carmen is surprisingly very quiet and rarely divulges her opinion. She finds it hard to communicate with them, not because they don't like each other, but because she's afraid to talk about magic with them, she believes they wouldn't understand if she ranted about her difficulty in a certain subject then they wouldn't get how important it was to her. When with her friends, she's bubbly and outgoing. She can talk about anything with them. Mainly for the reason that they know what she's talking about when she brings up magic. With some she can talk about Muggle trials, like trying to get a curling iron to work without magic or dealing with friends who can't know about what she is.

3. A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot
Characters History:
Carmen was originally from Lafayette, Colorado, born to Muggles Sarah-Anne and Bernard Lovine. Bernard was a radio journalist and Sarah-Anne was a stay-at-home mother. Carmen's father's career meant that they constantly moved according to where he worked. At they age of five, the Lovine family was moved to New York City for the space of three years. It was during those three years that the young girl began showing signs of magical ability, though her parents saw it as clever trickery.
By the age of nine–when her family was uprooted again and moved to Finchley–Carmen was working very hard to keep it a secret, though she would slip up at school when a girl made her mad or she just let it slip. The owner of the school labeled her a troublemaker and often kept her after school for things done to other students that she hadn't even wanted to–and sometimes didn't even–do. Two years later, her letter (and a Hogwarts teacher) arrived, brining the news that Carmen was a witch and was to arrive at King's Cross at the appointed time and to get all of her things for her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The newly-discovered witch was ecstatic and would constantly take out her letter in bed and read it, knowing she was something special, not just a freaky little kid. In Diagon Alley, she had to practically be restrained due to her increasing excitement.
Once sorted and settled at Hogwarts, Carmen began making friends quickly within her house and in her classes. In her first year, she knew by her third week of potions that she could never possibly hope to be good at it. But she didn't mind, she had other classes that she liked. She was a spunky student, paying attention some of the time, passing notes or doodling the other part of the time.
Over the years, she has collected valuable skills for the world outside of school and the protection of the teachers and such: hexes, spells, charms, information on magical creatures, ways to observe the stars and see the future.
In her fifth year, she was excited to see the Tri-Wizard Tournament come to the Wizarding school. She spent time that year not spent in classes getting to know students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons. During tasks, she would cheer for Cedric Diggory, her personal favorite in the competition. When the Third Task began, Carmen was near the front of the seating with a few of her friends, giggling and making guesses on who would win the cup. This continued until Harry came back with the dead Cedric Diggory. She had to keep one hand clasped over her mouth to keep from crying out in fear or worry, like many others might have.
That summer she spent reading Daily Prophets like textbooks before an O.W.L., and about half-way through the holiday she was fed up with what it was saying. Of course her parents didn't take account of the events going on in the Wizarding World: the denial of You-Know-Who's return, lies about Harry Potter (well, she doesn't know him personally, but she could guess that no one would lie about something like that), and what they wrote about Dumbledore in the Prophet.
Entering her sixth year, she's still basically the same girl she was when she entered Hogwarts: klutzy, bright–to a degree–friendly, and ready to take on the challenges the future may bring.
Characters Family & Relations: she's very close to her parents, Sarah-Anne and Bernard. Outside of that, she doesn't really know much of her family.
Characters Goals: Become a journalist for the Prophet (to knock some sense into people's heads, in her words), meet a nice wizard and settle down when she's older, make a decent potion.
Charcters Fears: Death Eaters, The Dark Lord, Snakes
Characters Alliance: Dumbledore

5. Magical Theory by Adalbert Waffling
[/center]Example of Roleplay:
Carmen ran through the barrier of Platform 9 3/4, hoping her parents weren't too worried about her. This year was her first getting on the train without a goodbye on the platform, and she was slightly depressed about that.
But on the up-side, she got to spend more time with her friends and get a compartment and have a window seat. That was good, right? She could see the countryside whizzing past before her very eyes, marvel at the scenery, and maybe read a book of poems her mother had given her as a goodbye gift.
With any luck she wouldn't embarrass herself until she was at Hogwarts. And, if not, she would probably be flat on her face in a few minutes. She prayed it was the former and not the latter intensely, not wanting to try her luck magically fixing her nose that day.
The Sixth Year Witch turned at the waist to check on Patches with a grin. "How are you holding up back there?" she asked gently, pausing to steady the barn owl's cage and watch him hoot and ruffle his feathers up. "You're certainly being a good sport about this, though. I know Mom usually carries your cage but she's busy today and so is Dad."
She must have looked odd, talking to her owl in the middle of a crowd of hurrying wizards and witches. But she didn't mind at the time, she liked talking to Patches when she was alone or had no one else to talk to, he was part of the family–depspite her mother's disapproval at first–and she treated him as such.
Taking the ring atop the cage into her free hand, Carmen continued forward toward the train. She was excited for the new year. Her O.W.L.s had turned out slightly better than she'd hoped, opening up the ability to sign up for the classes she wanted and not sign up for Potions (she'd done dreadfully in that particular area and was glad she didn't have to take it any longer). Not to mention her friends would be there, and she could catch up with them.
This was going to be, with luck, a good year.
