About You:
Personality - Jennifer is like almost every other girl. She likes boys and enjoys the power she has over them when they see her body. She doesn't abuse this power, just uses it to get even for all those years when women weren't allowed to fight back. Every time she would pick up a book about romance and see how 'gentlemen' acted, she smiles, knowing that she's getting back at them. It's not like she's angry at them, she knows that they can't help but do that. But that doesn't mean she has to tolerate it. So when a guy gives her a wolf-whistle or says something totally stupid and juvenile about her looks, she doesn't get mad. She gets even. She just remembers when women just had to take it. Now, she makes them take it. But she won't tell how. All that can be said is that the next day, they wouldn't dare whistle again.
Her intelligence is easily her next best asset and she definitely enjoys using that. She enjoys reading and enjoys learning new things from the books she reads. She's taught herself loads of things. How to play an instrument. She taught herself how to write. She taught herself how to type and how to read a book in an analytical way. She always figured that without the written word, there'd be no way to enjoy the things we do today. Because how would we know the advances that past civilizations made.
But don't think that she's just a book worm. She loves to go outside and play. As a child, she rode a bike like a normal kid and roller-bladed and even took up soccer. She didn't mind 'roughing it' with the guys, seeing as how she was usually the one in the lead. But she did spend much of her teenage years in the library, playing games on the computer, or at home eating and watching television.
She also has a tendency say whatever comes to her mind and has no problems doing it. She can make people's jaw drop at some of the conversations that pop out of her mouth. If people have a problem with her, then they should take it up with her.
But don't misunderstand, she's very reasonable and calm. She is very rational and practical. She prefers taking the scientific approach to things. She's also very cautious, because of the scientific approach. She often thinks rationally before making a decision. She tries to weigh the cause and the effect of the action before she does it. As a result, she is very hard to anger, but when she is angered, it's best to clear the room because there may just be fireworks--and not the good kind either. But there are certain things that set her off quicker than others. Such as when people make fun of the mentally or physically handicapped. Or when people insult her family. She would rather that you insult her, because she's used to them and is therefore numb to them, than you would insult her family; especially not her sister and brother. Those are the two people she swore that would never be harmed, definitely not by some bonehead pinprick trying to get even with her.
Sarcasm is one of her favorite traits. Her sarcasm is easy, yet difficult to detect. She enjoys being sarcastic, to an annoying degree. But its very subtle. So subtle, that she can insult someone, but wrap it up so nicely, it sounds like a compliment. That's one of her most favorite traits. She can give you the nicest compliment in the world, but in its own way, it's also the most insulting thing she can say. She only uses this subtle humor when necessary.
Now it may seem like she's perfect, but she's got some fun flaws in her. She's a procrastinator, an analytical bastard and a hypocrite. She's a procrastinator because she always waits until the last minute to do something. Like she'll wait the period before to study for a test, and the result is that she'll probably fail the test and end up screwing herself in the class that she ignored. She'll also usually wait until the class itself--and the day its due--to do an assignment. She knows its wrong, yet she can't help but feel as though this is a waste of her time. But, when motivated, she will do something. She just--well, it takes alot to motivate her. And threatening to fail her, yeah, not really a motivation. Threatening to call parents about failing grade--that's a motivation. Truth be told, she isn't that intersted in school--she's just book smart. She spent alot of time reading, not just because she wanted to, but because her parents used to tell her that life without education was nothing, wasn't even a life at all. That's probably her biggest flaw. That--and the fact that she has a big mouth, which tends to get her trouble. After all, nobody likes to hear that their star student hates their gut. Yeah, teachers never take it well for some reason. She's also analytical. Meaning, she's very precise about things. She likes them done certain ways in certain orders. And when they get out of order, well, she tends to flip out--just a little. This is where her hypocrite trait comes in. She likes other people to do things precisely, but she hates doing them herself. Also, she hates it when people make fun of other people, yet she'll sit there and laugh right along with them. She'll feel guilty about it for days, then she'll go back and do it again
Like/Dislikes -
Likes: almot everything
Dislikes: people who make fun of other people and school assignments and movies that have singing in them
History -
Being raised the daughter of a model and photographer has advantages. And so does being born first. Jennifer has gotten everything she has always wanted and then some things that she didn't. When she was 5 she got a little sister who is pretty okay. They don't fight that much and they get along pretty well. She has one of the coolest best friends on this planet. And he's totally awesome. Not to mention the fact that every guy wants her and she loves it. She gets them and then drops them like flies. But she dreams of that perfect boyfriend. But now she's got an issue. She has a reputation. Not a bad one, just a reputation. Also, she knows that most guys think she's just a slut. She isn't, she just can't stand the idea of being tied down by a guy who's too boring. But the guy she does like doesn't even show an interest. So she's fine and decided that she should enjoy her time while she's still got it.

Ruth groaned and let out an exasperated sigh. She looked over at the alarm clock sitting on her nightstand. It had been another sleepless night. She couldn't believe that it was already 7 am. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and flicked it through the air. Releasing a deep sigh, she slammed her hand down on the alarm clock, shutting off the ringing. As usual, it had woken everyone else in the dorms. They yelled at and then they slowly climbed out of their beds to get ready for another day of learning. After ten minutes, she convinced herself to get out of bed and slowly climbed down the spiral staircase to the showers, throwing a towl over her shoulder as she did so.
Twenty minutes later she was back in the girls' dormitory, tying up her black shoes. She looked in the full length mirror and gave a deep sigh. Her black robes held the Ravecnlaw crest proudly and her blue and silver outfit looked as it always did, perfect. Great, just marvelous, she thought. Slinging her bag over her shoulder she ran down the double spiral staircase and cheered up as she saw her friends rushing out of the door with her. They laughed, as usual, when she came out, looking wild and tired.
Within thirty minutes, she was headed down to potions for her first period. She looked at the board and remembered that she had a test. She asked her friend Ryan when the test had been set and he said last week. She looked terrified and he chuckled, knowing that she had either forgotten or had procrastinated. As Snape handed out the tests she looked down at hers. As was her nervous habit, she began twirling the end of her hair.
And hour later, she breathed a sigh of relief as she followed the wave of students out the door. She really hoped that she had done well, because if she didn't pass this class, her parents would be brutal. Relaxing, she was happy when she realized that her next period was definitely her easiet class--Defence Against the Dark Arts. For the first time that morning, she allowed herself to calm down, as the new professor of DADA taught them. Smiling, she had no problem in raising her hand in this classroom.
