Lisa (DeBinedetto) Star; now Lady Phaedra

[president_starbabe]

Name: Lisa DeBinedetto AKA: Star; now known as Phaedra
Age: 26
Birthday: April 11
Blood: pureblood

Personality Description: Star was once a bright and charming girl. She was, however, slightly stubborn and arrogant. But in general, her biggest concern was being well liked and making sure those around her were happy. She had a passion for justice and wanted to be a leader more than anything.

As time and war weighed on Star, her conscience weakened. After being tortured and put under a high level of strain she became malicious. She easily hides her aggression and interacts with others with skill. When faced in a fight she wouldn’t hesitate to use the harshest spell necessary to take out an enemy. Of course she’s always thinking about her political career and carefully chooses her enemies.
Star’s attitude has become bitter toward her past life. She no longer wants to be associated with the Resistance or those who are in it.
Because of her recent experiences Star has become hard and tough. She no longer trusts anyone and finds amusement in making things difficult for anyone.
Her temper is short and her pride strong.
Even though outside pressure forces her to commit certain acts there are certain things she still wouldn't bring herself to agree with or condone.

Now Phaedra, Star is secretive, overly arrogant, paranoid, and ambitious.
She is having trouble with her empathy powers due to the overwhelming pain she had been experiencing from them. She had kept this a secret from everyone near her, however. She insists on hiding her emotions from those around her.


Empathy:
Emapthics feel what others are feeling and can usually tell if their aura's are good or bad. It's not always that simple, however. There are those whose aura's change. A person can have a good aura but be influenced to do a dark deed.
The effect Empathy has on Star is fairly simple. She can't turn off her empathy. She can always tell what kind of mood someone's in. This can be incredibly annoying. When she is directly next to a very angy person Star experiences something like a headache. When she is directly near a very happy person she feels calm and happy too.
Dark Emotions: Feelings such as jealousy, hate, sadness, etc. when felt in the extremes have the same effect on Star as extreme anger. It will give her a terrible headache.
Light Emotions: Feelings such as hope, love, kindness, etc. when felt in the extremes have the same effect on Star as extreme happiness. It will make her calm and happy.
-When the person who is feeling an extreme emotion is not by Star or they're feeling these emotions in a lesser value it has no effect on Star.
Physical Effects: Physical effects only happen when Star is in direct physical contact with a person feeling an extreme emotion. Feelings of extreme happiness will result in Star feeling a tickle and feelings of extreme anger will result in Star feeling a burn that may leave a burn mark depending on how long the person feeling the anger holds on or how angry the person is.
A lesson on Control: Empathy in witches does not truly start developing until the early teenage/late preteen years. Since Star discovered she was an empathic and not bipolar she has been practicing being able to completely control her own emotions and not let extreme emotions have an effect on how she acts. She can't help the fact that they do effect how she feels but she is able to logically explain that she is not the one feeling the extreme anger, hate, happiness, etc. and continue as though she wasn't being effected at all.
-There is one emotion Star has not been able to control. The main reason Star has been afraid of relationships in the past is because she's afraid to get intimate with anyone considering they could take advantage of her.

Empathy does not work as a shield to Star's mind. It is a trait she was born with and is still trying to master.
Star is beginning to perceive the emotions in color.

Physical Description:
Star stands at 5'7". If you were in her presence she would appear taller than she really is. Due to being athletic, Star is physically fit. She is not skinny, however, and has curves and muscle. Star is a very attractive girl. Her olive complexion gives off the idea that she is Mediterranean. Contrasting this is a natural blush to her cheeks and her bright blue eyes. She has long black eyelashes, high cheekbones, and full red lips. She wears a bit of make up to work.
Star's hair is silky, smooth, thick, and straight. It is a dark chocolate brown (unlike during her teens years when she would wear her hair in multicolors) and reaches to the small of her back. Star usually wears her in an elegant bun or plait.
Her dress style consists of expensive robes in various colors.
On the inside of her right forearm is a scar that shows where a mark of the Black Tide used to be: a heart with an X through it, forced on her by Mulciber. A light vertical scar on her right cheek marks Darcy’s torture.
Accessories: Star always wears a gold necklace with a cross around her neck and a bracelet filled with little charms around her left wrist.
One charm is a silver cross to symbolize where she gets her strength.
Another is a gold bald eagle to show where she comes from.
Another is a tiny pearl fan. It was a gift from a street vendor she passed while touring china with her family.
The latest charms are an opal her father gave her to congratulate her for her job at the Ministry
and a ruby heart Adam gave her.

History: Star was born in the United States, though her parents were both English. Her father was an Ambassador to the U.S. for the Ministry of Magic and her mother, whose maiden name is Star, was a politician's wife. She went to a private muggle school for 5 years and then went to the Wizarding School Charlingston Foundation in Des Moine, Iowa for three and a half years. She didn't discover she was empathic untill she was 13 and started going through serious emotional stress. She didn't understand why things would bother her so much until finally one of her teachers realized she was and Empath.

When she turned 14 her father and mother returned to England. She started Hogwarts in her fourth year. It is here that she began being called Star and the name stuck.


((The following is the history of my character from past PL RP))
With the time she has spent in England Star has made some lifelong friends and deadly enemies. She has built up her dueling skills and has studied Giro Magicko Italiano.

Star was once Second-in-Command of the original Resistance that fought the Black Tide in the first war. She began this when she was fifteen and this war continued until she was 17.

By the time the second war struck, Star was already out of Hogwarts and running the Coffee Shoppe, a business her father bought for her to run. She co-ran the Coffee Shoppe with Mike Rolen. She then moved on to become the Leader of the Resistance as the second war began. At this time The Dark Lord Mulciber, once thought fallen, had returned. Star led the Resistance against the Black Tide.
Secretly her and Mulciber were having an affair, having known each other since their Hogwarts days.

Shortly before the end of the war, Caity turned Dark and was taken by the Black Tide. Star set herself up for capture and was taken to the dungeons of the Malnefas Manor. It was there that Mulciber forced the mark of the Black Tide on her, a heart with an X. Needless to say the relationship was never the same. Star took the opportunity of being in the Malnefas Manor to connect with Caity, and with Sora (Caity's lover) able to possess Aros (a then member of the Black Tide) Star and Caity escaped.

It wasn't long after that before the second war ended and Star was finally forced to capture him, along with Caity, and turn him into the Ministry

Before the capture of Mulciber and the end of the war, Star went to work as a political strategist, along side Adam Nibett, and as a personal assistant for Gideon Prowse, a British Seat in the International Confederation of Wizards.

Shortly after Star and Caity had captured Mulciber, the leader of the Black Tide, Prowse ordered Star to murder Brookes, a reporter from the Witches Weekly, for threatening to expose his dark past. After committing the act, Adam disposed of the body and Star was filled with so much guilt she left the Resistance for good. She proceeded to completely break off all ties with the Resistance and the Rebel Band and became the sole owner of the Coffee Shoppe.
Star testified against Mulciber at his trial but didn’t stop Adam when he spoke up for Mulciber (orders from Prowse). Mike Rolen called Star out for murdering Brookes (a rumor he had heard from Adam), calling the Wizenmagot’s attention to Star. The accusation was never followed up on due to lack of evidence.

After Prowse had a run in with Revan and was forced to give Revan money for a lab benefiting werewolves, Prowse ordered Star to murder Revan, which she only agreed to due to the fact Prowse had been using her pay checks to pay Revan. Star failed to murder Revan and Revan proceeded to Prowse’s office and attacked him, only leaving when Prowse managed to hit the security button.

As revenge on Revan, Prowse attained some information from Star and the two of them met with Aros in the Shady Pub. Prowse hired Aros to torture Missy as payback to Revan. Star spoke up against this but was silenced.

After Star captured Mulciber, love got the better of her. Star snuck into Azkaban the next evening and freed him. They escaped back to the Malnefas Manor before Aurors caught up with them. The two battled before Mulciber was defeated and transported to the Ministry where he was pushed through the veil. Star was transported to Azkaban where she was bailed out by Revan Irvine, who helped her get back on her feet.

After this Star reunited with Caity and other members of the Resistance. She and Revan went to work seeking revenge for what Prowse had done to her. Revan continued working with her, even after the death of his wife, and Star's friend, Missy. Once Revan and Star took down Prowse politically they went their separate ways.

Star eventually killed Prowse and framed the murder on Adam. She temporarily stepped in for Prowse as a British Seat in the Confederation of Wizards and then proceeded to becoming the Minister of Magic's junior assistant. She began working her way into the Minister's inner circle and studying the Dark Arts Mulciber left behind.

Not shortly after Star's 22nd birthday, she disappeared from public view. No one is sure what happened to her during these years. Only those who were closest to her know that the Lady Phaedra is the woman they once knew as Star.

When Star reemerged four years later, she had changed her persona and was now known as Phaedra. She used her connections to once again move into the Ministry and developed an underground gathering she called the Temerar. Shortly after her return, there was an attack on Hogsmeade. The Minister was blamed and unseated, allowing Phaedra to step in as Ministeress of Magic. Later she secretly murdered the old Minister.

She quickly placed the members of the Temerar into top Ministry position where they proceeded to lift restrictions on the Dark Arts.

Ok, it's good but:

1. You copied my order, the exact same thing. No offense but I always take that as an insult ever since that happened in my old school with someone who copied my design for fashion and the girl became a junior fashion designer even though it was my design and no one believed me. I don't take well to copyrighting so if you could change the order or something, thanks.

2. No one is allowed to do anything or have anything to do with the characters from the book like helping fudge with the malfoy's or sirius. http://lumos.mugglenet.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=622 read that post this is years after all that. Dumbledore exists because well he's dumbledore and all we do is take his advice and warn him about death eaters and stuff.

3. Just curious are you studying to be a lawyer or something?

4. the boggart thing, I can help you on that. You don't need to meet one, a boggart is a shape-shifter that can take the form of whatever scares you the most. So your biggest fear is your boggart.

5. You can't learn to be a black belt that quickly. I was in karate until last year since I was 4 and I was barely an orange belt.

It's just advice you don't have to take it. Thanks

First thing i want to say is use the format given by the staff. Thats the format that will be used and you over all will havew to do. So if you have it that way already you will be able to apply right away instead of having to go through and edit it once the site is up.

Also if you are a Prue Blood you most likly won't have any political backgrounds becuase from what I have seen Politics are not a big thing in the wizerding world. You just happened to have to be liked to get nominated for things.


Must agree about the Keeping fudge off Siruis and watching Malfoy thing. This is set a good bit after wards. You must also know that Sirius is long dead.


As for your Wand. Phoenix feather is rare. There have been only two noted yet and those were Harry's and out Fav. Vold...

Make sure you spell check your character profile.

Also, capital letters at the beginning of a sentence is a good thing. You also have quite a few incomplete sentences.

Work on a character name.

Avoid reference to characters in the books. It's mainly because we don't know how the books will end.

You'll need a family crest, height, and weight.

Some criticisms:

[Ice_Princez]

Sorry for snapping at your order it's just in paris in my old school my design was copyrighted and the girl that took my idea got what I wanted and it was awful and all. But I'm flattered that you'd use that format. Boggart thing, just make up a fear for her. like what I put down was my charcater is afraid of seeing her little brother getting killed all over and not having the power to do anything. Good character.

[president_starbabe]

[Magic_Amulet]

Fear:

Ex:

Seeing herself being forced to be anorexic by a man she loves.


It's a TOTAL combine

[president_starbabe]

of course! why didn't i think of it! lol

[tikimonkey12]

[Magic_Amulet]

[president_starbabe]

My characters boggart is failing. What kind of shape would a boggart take for that?

[Magic_Amulet]

What made her afraid of failing?

[Guest]

she's an overachiever. She's afraid of failing because she feels that if she fails Rachel's death would have been in vain. maybe i should add that...

[president_starbabe]

that last post was me.

[Magic_Amulet]

Maybe her losing a battle, after swearing on Rachels grave that she would win.

[president_starbabe]

that's good. more specific. i'm afraid i'm just a vague person. Thanks!

[Magic_Amulet]

That she had sworn on Rachel's grave that she would defeat the man who killed her, and then losing a battle with that same death eater.

[president_starbabe]

after boggart i put that she's afraid of failing because she wants to avenge rachels death. then i put that there was more in the history. I don't want to put more in after boggart because i want people to be curious and read on.

[SilverSword]

pretty good. maybe your protraunus and your animagus should be different things.
or your boggart could be different....

muahahaha

[tikimonkey12]

[president_starbabe]

good point. I don't want my character to be a vengeful person. I'm not really a revenge seeking type of person but i still want star to somehow avenge rachel's death. i'm in a fix.

[Magic_Amulet]

You have to choose hun

[Fawkes06]

I know a good Patronus, ants! Yeah whenever I step on an ant hill they always climb on top of me and boy do they get revenge!

i like wilderbeast! but no. maybe my patronus could be a different type of bird. or.... I know Phoenix's are for the pure of heart. Star doesn't want to avenge Rachel's death by killing the DE that killed Rachel. She just wants to avenge Rachel's death by helping the Aurors and completing her original mission. And hey, Dumbledore wants revenge on Voldemort. You know he does.

[president_starbabe]

I think I'll stick with the Phoenix. Dumbledore has a phoenix and I really admire him so I just wanted my character to have a little aspect of him.

[Nemesis_Dragon]

Your character is very interesting and well thought out. Its really great

lol I think your patronus should be a pidgeon, like mine is
