IC[/u][/size]
Full Name: Akroma Marie Dance
Age:16
Year:6th
House: Ravenclaw
Birthday: (D/M/Y) 13 October 1991 ((Is it actually the current year??? 2007??? If not I can change the year))


Personality[/u]
Likes: dancing, reading, and charms (favorite color Black)
Dislikes: people questioning her intelligence particularily if they prove her wrong, flying, and transfiguration (least favorite color Pink)
Hobbies: dance (a variety of styles of dance)
Regular Attitude: Akroma's study of dance has given her an air of confidence but also a moody exterior that some may take as general nastiness. Its really just that she is unhappy with being taken from the muggle world where she was able to study dance and placed in this world where such a small amount of attention is given to her favorite past-time.
General Persona: Akroma is a bit of an egotist at times. She struggles to look about her and see people who are on her level. Not to say there aren't any, she just gets a bit full of herself. This being said her biggest flaw is also her main motivation in life. She wants to be able to prove to others she is as good as she feels, causing her a great deal of hardship when she discovers she is wrong. Being smart and skillful in some areas can not always make up for failures in others.
She is loyal, sometimes violently in fact, but only to those she deems worthy which usually only includes a small portion of her family and a few good friends. When she's not dancing she studdies continually trying to get just a bit better, so it can sometimes be difficult for others to befriend her and vice versa. She is prone to moodiness so she is sometimes very bright and cheerful or at others she can be downright depressingly morbid.


Appearance[/u]
Hair: dark brown, short choppy cut that she almost always wears a bit messy
Eyes: brown
Height:5'4"
General: Akroma is quite a bit short for her age, built slender due to her many years studying and mastering as many different kinda of dance as she could. She always wears her dark brown hair a bit in her face letting the choppy pieces frame her face for a look unique to her. When she is in a cheerful mood she likes to wear brighter colors in trendy fashions. However her negative moods can make her spend days dressed in pure black in outfits that can be described as only unique. Her nails are almost always painted, usually black since most of her clothes have at least a little bit of her favorite color in them.

Family[/u]
Family Members:Grandmother (muggle and father's mother)
Grandfather (muggle and father's father)
Ixidor (wizard, Akroma's father)
Nivea (muggle, Akroma's mother)
Family Reputation: Ixidor Dance is generally unknown in the wizarding world. Those few who did know him knew him as a deatheater, however he was rumored to have been killed by the Dark Lord himself for his failure of some unknown mission. Deatheaters who served around the time Ixidor was rumored to serve deny knowing him as "He wasn't even a pure blood."
Family Traditions: Akroma's family is gypsy in decent and thus they have a get-together each year when they dance until the sun rises in celebration of their ancestors. This event occurs each fall one week before Halloween.
They also have a get-together each year which is known to them as a "Night of Luck," each year on this night the adults drink the night away as it is their last night before going out in caravans to earn their living for the year. The children all play games end the night creating elaborate costumes for the year to come. This is all merely ceremonial now as all of the family lives normal lives in cities throughout Europe, but its still a good time for all and viewed as very important in remembering where their roots lie.
Thoughts on Family: If someone were to ask Akroma how she felt about her family they'd get a mixture of responses. When it comes to her father she would most likely defend his name to the last. Akroma has never really known her father, he disappeared when she was very young and her mother knew so little about his life as a wizard that she scarcely knew what to tell her daughter of him. Joining the wizard world is a way for her to fell closer to him though it causes her much pain to come across someone who speaks of him as being one of the deatheaters.
For her mother, Akroma has always scorned her. She sees her mother as a weakling who couldn't manage to keep Ixidor around. Because of this Akroma will sometimes claim to be a pure-blood.
As for Akroma's only other living family, her grandparents, she feels a sort of kindred that they describe to her as gyspies blood. She knows this is just "nice talk" but still it feels good to have someone around she feels related to rather than her alternatives. She looks up to her grandparents for their wisdom and their knowledge of her father and her family's roots as gypsies.
Family History: The Dance family originated as a band of gypsies in what is now modern day Romania. They traveled throughout Europe dancing, singing and preforming, to make ends meet. As time went by, the family slowly make its way to the coast and managed to earn the money to hop a boat to England.
Once in England, Akroma's family found it was more difficult than ever to earn money and try as they might could not manage to earn the money to get back to the mainland. As luck would have it, a young lord took an interest in them often coming to the city square where they preformed and calling them his little "dancers." Eventually, he invited the family back to his manor. He offered to pay them with room and board in exchange for doing his household chores and entertaining him whenever he pleased. Half starved and sick with pnemonia they accepted. And so they lived eventually taking on the name Dance as a surname.
When the lord grew old and died his successor tossed the Dance family out. For they were the only thing that had brought the old man joy and his child couldn't stand to think of how he'd been ignored for mere street beggars. But by this time the Dance family had forgotten their nomadic ways and knew many people in the town from their years of service to the lord. Thus they were able to find jobs and create a new life of their own, which is how they've lived since.

Anything Else?:
Sample RP: The sky was bright with morning sun when Akroma stepped out the door of her small home in Easingwold. The grass in the meadow was beautiful and green, it made her smile to think she'd spend the entire day out there dancing and playing. She looked about for a rock to throw in case the local boys came back to tease her as they so very often did. With that, she set off her yellow slippers making crunching noises on the small sticks nestled in the grass.
It didn't take Akroma long to find her chosen "perfect" place. It was a small area nearly flattened out from her many days of practice and being there always felt like home to her. But today something was wrong, her mother waited there for her, tears streaming down her face. Akroma looked onto her mother's worried, drawn face and shivered.
"What's going on? Why are you here?? I told you this was my place of privacy," Akroma's voice came out cold and distant. Although she acted like she was angry with her mother, the weak useless thing, she was scared to the bone of what news the woman brought.
"They're taking me away, they said he didn't die that he ran away. They're saying they found him and he doesn't want to come back. They said I was mad. Akroma, you're mother is leaving you." With those few words Akroma's world was forever changed. The mother she never loved was as good as gone forever and there was at last hope that her father was alive. She stood staring, mind and body too numb with shock to do anything else.
