**WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE**
Picture:
Looks:
Jyn is a rather small girl with a height of 5' 2" and a small frame, her weight is usually about 110lbs. Which is a little weird considering she can eat pretty much anything she wants without gaining weight. She’s a slim girl and her body is not that muscled but she likes to stay in shape by running. She has light coloured skin but don’t let that fool you, cause when she blushes –which happens a lot- her cheeks turn into a dark pink-ish color. There is not a style in clothing she sticks too. Jyn just buys and wears whatever she likes regardless what others think about it. She likes to experiment with different styles.
Her eyes are ocean blue mixed with a hint of grey. Jyn is at times a tough girl to read but her eyes always give her away. For instance when she is happy they tend to sparkle, but when she is sad or not feeling well they will look darker. Also Jyn smiles a lot and when she does her smile lits up her entire face. Her real hair colour is light blond. It comes halfway down her back and mostly she wears it loose so it falls around her shoulders. At times when she sick of her blond hair she dyes it black but this is a rare occurrence.
Appearance:
There is not a style in clothing she sticks too. Jyn just buys and wears whatever she likes regardless what others think about it. That includes jewellery and other accessories. She likes to experiment with different styles. She does not have any tattoos but she wants to have one someday, something with a special meaning. Piercings are definitely not her thing so you will not find her piercing any part of her body.
Favourite Outfit:
Mostly jeans with tops that she feels comfortable wearing. Also Jyn likes skirts and boots as well, so she doesn’t have one outfit that is her favourite per se.
**PERSONALITY**
How do you treat your friends:
Jyn doesn't have many friends and can mostly be labelled as a loner. She is extremely shy which makes it hard for her to build a friendship with someone. Jyn needs to time to be herself around someone which makes her a quiet girl who is definitely the poster child for the term introvert. So often she is more busy with studying or doing something else as to avoid people. Most people like extravert people, spontaneous people and Jyn can't be such a person on the spot. so not many people take the time to get to know her and become her friend. However, when she is someone's friend she is caring, would do anything to make them happy and is a fun friend to hang out with.
How do you treat your enemies:
Jyn doesn't have any, aside from the people who find it fun to bully her. However if she would have an enemy she'd just avoid them and hope they will go away. She is not a vengeful type and wouldn't do anything to someone else that she doesn't want people to do to her.
Social Status:
Definitely an outcast.
Positive/Negative Traits:
Jyn is probably one of the shyest girls on Hogwarts. She will instantly blush when a guy she finds cute glances at her or she will instantly forget how to speak when a guy asks her something, even if it is something simple like asking for directions. Jyn really can’t help it and is therefore often revered to as the quiet and the shy one.
Getting Jyn angry is a really tough job cause she gets along with pretty much anyone. She’s not picky when it comes down to friends –not that she has many-, she’s easy to please, she doesn’t mind adjusting to the wishes of others, she tries to be chipper everyday and is always there for people when they are in need of some support. The only problem is that she is too shy to just talk to someone and finds it hard to really open up to people. She’ll always try to make a good impression but gets insecure about what to do and therefore freezes and grows extremely quiet. Making friends is kind of hard for her as people much rather hang out with spontaneous people than people like her. Jyn has a small handful of friends even if she whished she would have some more and be more popular.
Insecurity is another huge thing with her. Jyn likes to experiment with different dress styles and wears anything she feels comfortable in –even if its not ‘in fashion’-.Cause of that she got teased a lot and was seen as the outcast in school. Even if in a way she liked to be able to do what she wanted, it was hard to be different even if she desperately did not want to be like all the other mainstream bimbo’s.
However when someone sees past all of that and takes time to get to know her they will discover the real girl hiding inside of Jyn. It just takes a little time for Jyn to relax and be herself around someone she doesn’t know. When that happens though they will discover that she is a sweet girl, very open minded about various things in life, a great friend, someone you can rely on and someone who is always there for the ones she cares about.
Jyn doesn’t have a huge family since it has always been just her and her mother. Her mother was a single parent who had to work a lot which meant there wasn’t much money left when all the basic needs in life would be covered. Therefore Jyn has learned to appreciate the little things in life and be happy with what you have rather than sulk about you do not or can not have. To protect herself and make things easier she tries not to dream too much about what she would like her life to be like.
Ever since she was little Jyn has been having asthma and she is allergic to various things like cat hair, woollen blankets, dust and a few other things. When she gets upset, too excited or when she generally doesn’t feel well her asthma will become active which can lead to heavy asthma attacks. That means she will be unable to breath properly and can lead to her fainting. When her allergies come to haunt her they often team up with her asthma. This causes her throat to swell shut making it very hard for her to breath. It had lead to her almost choking to death a couple of times if it had not been for her medication and someone around to give it to her in time. Having asthma is something Jyn has learned to live with but sometimes it still surprises her with its force.
Coming from a family where there was not much money to buy luxurious goods from Jyn has learned to not attach much value to things. She is definitely not materialistic and is used to haven second handed things. Jyn is the type of girl who likes simple things like getting a flower from her boyfriend and a cuddle from her best friend. Fancy dinners and jewellery are things she never had so they don’t mean much to her.
strengths:
* She is independent
* A big warm heart which is open to anyone
* She doesn’t judge people on their looks (but does think goth people look scary sometimes even if they can be really nice) or hear-say stories
* Being happy with the little things in life
* Her talent in (muggle)photography
weaknesses:
* Afraid to dream, so she won’t get disappointed when it doesn’t happen
* Her asthma, it keeps her from doing a lot of things in life
* Her shyness which keeps her from experiencing life the way she wants to experience it
* Puppies, they are just too cute!
* Alcohol, she really can’t hold her liquor
* Sometimes too naïve for her own good

- The day that the guy -who she thought was her boyfriend at the time- said that he had never loved her and that it had all been just a joke.

**BEFORE AND AFTER**
How Did You Come To Be/Childhood:
Jyn Piper McCloudy was born 16 years ago to mother Mary McCloudy and father Mitchum Moriano. Even before she was born Mitchum bailed on his family leaving Jyn growing up without a father. The reason why her father left her and her mother, Jyn doesn’t know. She has only seen him from pictures her mother had kept for her, but her mother refuses to talk about him. Since there was no marriage between both grown ups Jyn received her mothers last name at birth.
Even if Jyn grew up without a father she doesn’t really feel like she missed anything. Her mother was and still is, a great woman who worked her ass off to make sure her daughter grew up in a loving home. Working as a nurse didn’t pay much, but it paid the bills and Mary McCloudy always made sure there was enough food in the house and enough toys for little Jyn to play with. They weren’t extremely poor but Jyn already knew at a young age that she and her mom barely made it every month. She was raised to not be materialistic and appreciate the fact she had a roof above her head and a hot meal at the end of each day.
Coming To Hogwarts:
When the letter for Hogwarts came Jyn was really excited to go to school and her mother couldn't be more proud of her little girl. However, during school Jyn never belonged with the in crowd. She always had been the outcast, the quiet one and the shy girl that everyone found to be weird. Jyn was the girl who got picked on by the popular kids and was always chosen last by group activities. Fitting into the mainstream was definitely something she did not do but even if she had to chance to do so she wouldn’t. She wants to be herself rather than to please someone else with the image they want for her to be. For her that meant being the outcast of the school but back then it had been something she had learned to accept. That didn't mean she likes being the outcast but she knows there is no other way.
What do you want to do after Hogwarts:
Jyn is not sure what to do after school. From an early age on she has taught herself not to dream, knowing that she couldn't have what she wanted anyway. Right now she might want to be a photographer, a muggle one, cause making pictures is what makes her happy. Magic is fun too but it's just magic. Or maybe she'll end up being a nurse or work in a bookstore. Jyn honestly doesn't know what comes after Hogwarts.

ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER –
Face Claim:
Emilie de Ravin.
Role-playing Sample:
Jyn often used her camera as an excuse to hide from the world. She wasn’t an extravert person, hell, introvert should probably be her middle name. She wasn’t scared of people though or anything close to that. Jyn just felt uncomfortable around people because she wanted to be liked so bad and didn’t want to screw it up by saying or doing something wrong. Because of that she got insecure, went quiet and generally became shy when talking to someone. Whenever that happened Jyn always felt like an idiot and therefore just avoided people in general. That way she couldn’t make a fool out of herself and she wouldn’t have to face rejection head on. She’d been rejected enough all the way through school anyway. Perhaps that made her a coward but it was just the way she was.
Watching people was something different though. And then not watching people as in a stalker-ish way, cause that was just sick, but just watching people being happy and enjoying life. Happy people were beautiful people, at least that is what they said wasn’t it? Jyn enjoyed taking pictures of people and she had won several contests with her pictures and had them being used for art displays in the past. Seeing people being in love or generally being happy made her feel like both those things were out there for her too. That she would able to be in love and be happy with someone in the future.
