"No comment...."
Hair: Black/brown, long, wavy.
"My hair reaches down to almost the middle of my back. It has natural waves that I typically wear it in. It's actually black, but in sunlight it looks dark brown, which I love 'cause it has some natural highlights and lowlights."
Eyes: Hazel
"My eyes are pretty b.a. actually. When I wear green, they look green. When I wear blue, they look blue. And when I wear brown, they look brown and so on. Be jealous."
Height/Weight: Five foot seven. One hundred and twenty pounds.
"I don't mind being a little taller than most girls. Makes my legs look a thousand miles long, which is always a plus. I like to keep my figure small so I do a lot of work outs in order to stay thin."
Distinguishing Marks: piercings, tattoos, birthmarks, scars, etc
Build: thin
"Like I said earlier. I keep my figure thin. I don't have too much muscle tone 'cause that's definitely not what I want. I have small curves but as long as I wear the right clothes, I can accent them beautifully."
Style: Fashionably
"My mother taught me that looks are everything. And they are. Everyone judges you at first glance, despite what they say. I can be found in a pair of yoga pants and a tank top, but that's typically at night when I wanna get out of my other clothes. I love dressing up for all the pureblood parties that my mum loves to host. Um, really I just hate the school robes and I try hard to snazz it up. But sometimes that get's me in trouble. Whatever..."

Best Memory:
“My happiest moment was when I was at one of those over-done pureblood parties and my father pushed me to play the piano and sing for a small crowd. I did. They all stood up, demanding more, and I did. My fingers had never been so sore before. But the looks on people's faces was worth all of it."
Mirror of Erised:
“Marry wealthy and have children running a large manor, being happy... feeling loved.”
Patronus:
"My patronus is a fox! 'Cause I'm one foxy lad.y (;"
Boggart:
“My biggest fear? Hmm. I guess that would be not marrying a pureblood man and keeping lines pure... My parents would be disappointed in me if I didn't marry a pureblood. I would need to love the man though too. Everyone's meant to find someone, right?"
Dementor:
"My worst memory would have to be when the Dark Lord had came to my family's manor when I was young. I was sneaking around the house when I was supposed to be in bed... the door was cracked opened to our formal dining room and I heard voices. I didn't mean to... but a green light flashed bright and... then that man laid on the ground, lifeless."
Veritaserum:
"I'm actually really insecure about myself and my looks. I know I come off as a confident, almost cocky person but I'm human, just like everyone else. I may walk in a room with my nose in the air. But I guess it's just an act really..."
Personality:
Daphne would be classified as your typical pureblood. She's pushy, bossy and headstrong. She knows what she wants, and using her looks and or intimidation, she usually gets what she wants. Daph tends to speak without thinking a lot of the times, which gets her in trouble with her professors, but with some convincing, can usually smuggle her way out of detentions. She can be charming when it benefits her and very persuasive when needed. She hates the drama some people tend to have clinging to them and has no problem saying any witty come backs. Many see Daphne walking the corridors alone, its not hat she is a loner, its more like she enjoys her own presence than that of others. That and her typical sneer and scowl on her face usually keeps the unwanted at bay.
The Greengrass daughters were taught to loathe muggles, mudbloods, halfbloods and everything in between. And Daphne does, to an extent. She doesn't exactly loathes them, but she does not associate with them for in fear of being disowned from her family as she loves them dearly. She strives to be the best she can in her parents eyes and tries her best in sports, music, her looks and homework... typically. So being a perfectionist is something she's always "perfected" at. She loves working in groups of people but if she doesn't get her way, she tends to get rather upset. She isn't someone who goes out of her way to speak to anyone, even if they're sort of friends.
But you can only judge a book by its covers, until you get to the pages, you’ll never know what you'll truly find. Daphie is a wild child, there wasn't any doubt by the time she hit age three. And from there, it just sky-rocketed. She enjoys a cold drink or a to escape the reality of life, even it is for just a few hours. That's when she's the most talkative and outgoing. she tends to forget her loathing for others who have different, let's just say, “point of views." Deep down, she feels that her need of endless parties is fueled by the lost of her ex. Though she still adores Monique all the same, it'll never be the same. From her bad break up, Daphne feels as if she had put a wall between her and the rest of the world, even from her sister sometimes. And she knows she must break it down, or find someone who will do it for her.

History:
It was unusually hot for November, there was not a single flake of snow to be found on the ground. But none of this matter to Mr. Greengrass as he rushed his wife to St. Mungo', who left a string of curse words behind them. Reaching the hospital in time was all he could think of, little did he know he had to sit in the waiting room for eighteen hours straight before a nurse came out to where he sat, his head was in his hands. She cleared her voice politely and handed Eric a pink bundle of blankets. And inside lay a slightly red-faced baby version of Daphne fast asleep, the wrist band read, ‘Daphne Guinevere Greengrass.’ Two years had past and she was then "blessed" with her sister. So once again, Eric rushed Marcia to the hospital where he waited along time again. This time my father had to tote me along. We waited in the waiting room to recieve her little sister who was huddled up in her own set of pink blankets where he stared at her, a smile on his face.
Three years flew by and Eric and Marcia had their share of ups and downs as they took care of Daphne and Astoria, whom "had begun to ‘run a-muck'" as their Uncle would say oh-so delicately. The Greengrass home never seemed big enough for Astoria and Daph as they got into literally everything, sometimes Daphie would cause random objects to burst into flames at first sight.
A family of four were all dressed in black and stood over a single, magnificent headstone surrounded by multi-colored wildflowers, each one of them connected by their hands. All they had to do was look over our shoulders and the large marble manor they called home would be in their sights. Eric and Marcia couldn't think of a better place to bury Grandmother Greengrass other than the place they had shared memories; their home. They stood in silence, heads bowed when an Eagle Owl named Beans landed gracefully on top of the headstone. Quickly shooing away the bird, Eric snatched the letter it held in its talons. And seeing the letter was addressed to Daphne, he flipped the letter in hands and saw the insignia on back. With a faint smile, my Eric looked down to his eldest and handed the letter before she furiously tore it open.
Daphne's first year at Hogwarts was unreal, a dream. Daphne had purchased her wand from Ollivander's, where her parents and their parents and their parents had gotten their's. They shopped for all the books she needed. The shopping trip was a great experience for Daphne. She could recall the scowl on Astoria's face as they shopped for she was jealous and upset she couldn't go with Daphne. The sight of the firetruck-red Hogwarts Express was exciting. The Greengrass family had met up with their "family friends," the Malfoy's and Parkinson's, who also had children who were entering their first year. Daphne had always known Draco and Pansy for as long as she could remember. So the three of them made the trip to Hogwarts together.
Second year was rather uneventful for Daphne. She had gotten in the swing of things at Hogwarts and had made more friends in Slytherin. She also made many enemies from other houses. But she didn't mind too much... the only house she thought to be tolerable was Ravenclaw. Her third year Astoria joined Daphne at Hogwarts. The two didn't really hang out often for they had their own group of friends. They typically got meals together and when Astoria would ask, Daphne would help her baby sister with homework and such. And in Daphne's fourth year she gained her first "official" boyfriend. They didn't last long, but she was sure she was in love. Then another came, and this time she thought she really was in love, but, they ended just as easily as they started. She rooted for Krum during the Triwizard Tournament for she didn't approve of either of the Hogwarts contenders. And then, he came into her life.
It was the middle of Daph's fifth year at Hogwarts, the wound in her chest was fresh from a few days ago. ‘How could he do this?’ She used to think. it was a year, strong. ‘How could he do this to her?’ She'd think. Her world around was a blur, unreal. Her boyfriend was two years older and was about to graduate. His excuse was that he needed to grow up and mature? ‘I am mature.' Daphne told herself. Looking back to the end of her fifth year Alley saw how ridiculous she had looked after the “incident.” To this day she had no idea how she became the dumped, not the “dumper”. The summer leading into her sixth year was an eye opener for Daphne. She realized you can never trust anyone, truly. No matter the connection they had with you. sooner or later, someone was going to let you down.

Role Play Sample:
Daphne lay in her queen sized four poster bed, an alarm clock on her nightstand ringing. She was long awake before it set off. Faint classical music sang in the background, seeming just to seep off the walls for there were no speakers. But the music wasn’t unusual, it helped her sleep at nights. though, it hadn’t helped her this time. Night scares were unusual for the brunette. She seemed to only have them around the same time of the year. She sighed and glanced at the clock which read 6:00 a.m. "Daphne, Astoria! You better get going, your father wants to leave in an hour!” screeched her mother, followed by a harsh "Five more minutes!” by her only sibling. "No! Get up now!" She gave neither of them an answer, but a roll of her eyes. There was usually only a few times a year did her mother, Marcia enhance her already loud voice to wake up. The day Christmas break was over and the day summer was officially over.
Groaning to no one in particular, she slammed her fist down upon the magical alarm clock. Throwing off the emerald silken blanket and sheet, it revealed a long haired ebony and ivory dog laying on its side, tongue hanging out. Apparently, completely undisturbed by Daphne. Rolling her eyes at the uncommonly lazy Border collie, Daph hopped off her bed and strolled over to her over-sized bathroom to ready herself for the long day that was obviously a head of her. Reentering her bedroom, the dog now sat up on the bed, tongue still hanging but watched Daphne with alert eyes as she walked about the room wrapped in a towel, leaving a trail of steam behind her. Opening the door of her walk-in closet, Daphie entered it and easily spotted the large suitcase with gold 'DGG' initials on its cover. And laying on top of the already packed bag, was an excuse for an outfit.
For the last time until Christmas break, Daphne step foot into her bedroom. Her slytherin robes draped off her body and she toted the suitcase behind her as she gave a short whistle for the dog to follow her, which it did on command. Her low heels clicked against the marble floor as she walked down the long hallway of the second story house. And after what felt like an eternity, she reached the top of the grand staircase and spotted her father, Eric and his sidekick, Marcia and Astoria standing in their traveling robes in front of the front door. "Ready, darling?” her father’s dazzling smile lit up his face asked as Daph got nearer. “Ready as if I’ll ever be,” she grumbled under her breath. Whether her family heard or not, they sure pretended not to. Stepping out the double front doors, Eric lifted his arm for his daughters to take who both did so without any word, and they were gone with a loud snap.
