ADULT APPLICATION
Bio:
.Name. Nayda Jayden Rivera
.Gender. Female
.Age. 23
.Bloodlines. She would like to consider herself a pure blood but her mother’s grandmother was actually a mudblood so she isn’t completely pure.
.Father. James Rivera
.Mother. Serenity (Leontii) Rivera
.Siblings. Izabella and Adrain
.Offspring. None
.Residence. A home in London
.Occupation. Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher (Hopefully after I apply)
Appearance:
.Height. Nayda is short, 5'3.5" even, though she'll tell you 5'4", and is constantly teased by her few friends, who all tower over her by a foot at least. Even many of her student’s tower of her, which doesn’t deter her much but seems to give them an un-need confidence boost.
.Hair. Nayda has long, strawberry blonde hair, which falls to the middle of her back. It looks more red in the sunlight than in the dark, but it most would agree that it is defiantly blonde. The hair is naturally curly and is a bit hard to tame so she usually just pulls it back in a pony tail to keep it out of the way. Though for special occasions she will put some style into it or even let it down for a little while.
.Eye. Her eyes are almond shaped and a hazel/green color, a mix of her father’s Brown and her mothers’s bright green. The color of her eyes changes depending on her mood, they are darker when she is mad or deep in thought and lighter when she is happy. Her eyes they the change with her mood are quite good at shielding what she is thinking. Her eyes lashes are dark black and have the slight mascara look, even when she isn’t wearing any makeup.
.Body type. Nayda is quite slim but looks average due to her shortness, she weights about 123lbs. Her slimness gives her a graceful, fragile look but she is anything but. She is actually quite muscular and isn’t actually that graceful.
.Fashion. Nayda usually wears rather outrageous clothing, the one and only thing she has in common with her sister. She likes to wear bright colors and pair the oddest things together. She is usually seen in wearing muggle clothes but with her wizard’s robes through over them since she wouldn’t want to look like a muggle. Occasionally she will be seen wearing a pair of loose fitting jeans and a plain t-shirt. Though, she usually likes the tighter clothes that shows off more of her figure, and most would call seductive. She likes getting attention and her clothes say exactly that. They say ‘come and get me’ and ‘look at me’.
.Any other distinguishing features. A scar above her left eyebrow given to her by her younger sister in a fight
Personality:
.Characteristics and traits. Nayda from a young age was very defensive even when she never did anything wrong. She was even worse with strangers as she never did trust anyone. When she finally did trust someone it was like solid gold, she had a great amount of respect for others if they only returned it to her. She was fairly snappy when she was being accused of something and didn’t think twice about telling people how she felt. Nayda was always bold at what she said and it often got her into trouble, especially with her parents, since she never had a problem telling them how much she hated them.
Hiding emotions was almost a talent for the young women. She was extremely good at leading people to believe that everything was perfect. She never let her emotions rule the way she responded to outside stimuli, unless it came to her sister. In which case she threw caution to the wind and emotions just took over. So it was very hard to read her, most people you can get an idea about how to approach them. Nayda for the longest time was very hard to approach but a lot of that extra hardness came off over the years. She was a lot softer than when she had gone to Russia the second time. Much more approachable.
At a young age, as most are, she was taught that she was better because of her status and her linage. Though, this was taught by an Uncle instead of her parents who didn’t hold to these opinions. These teachings stuck with her and she embraced them with everything she had become the stereotypical pureblood and Slytherin. Nayda was moody, manipulative, greedy, conniving, and as mean as a viper. And of course there was that rebellious wild streak too. But if you were lucky enough to get into her little circle, you’d see a much different girl. She could almost be nice, almost. She had a hard time showing her affection for others though and could still at times come off cold.
Now that is more the exterior of Nayda’s multilayered personality. She thinks she is a tough girl who doesn’t need anyone body. But that is never the whole story. Every body needs some body. It’s just the way it goes, and it was no different for Nayda. She just had a hard time getting that out. When emotions were a weakness it was better to be cold and hurtful. You tend to bury the real emotions deep in a locked away chest. Then you wait and long to let it be known.
In truth Nayda is a fierce friend, strongly passionate, and loves to be loved. Only you would never get that out of her but if you look at how she is with her brother you would see little parts of this. But having been bitter for so long she has pushed these things away and it was going to take something strong to get it back out where it belongs.

.Character History. Nayda was born on a warm, sunny day in a small town in England. She grew up in a rather large house with her mother and father. The first several years of the young purebloods life was rather relaxed and easy to deal with. Nayda being an only child then became a bit spoil. That was until her whole world came crashing down and her parents had another child. A daughter named Izabella who they though was absolutely perfect, even though her legs didn’t work. They dotted on the new child, especially because of her special needs, leaving Nayda to become bitter. A year latter and Nayda, had another sibling, a little brother named Adrian. As they grew up the two became very close because even though they were loved they felt that there ‘broken sister’ got way to much attention.
Around the age of eight Nayda was sent to live with her Uncle Leontii in Russia, at first she didn’t understand but after a few weeks she began to wonder if it was because they just couldn’t handle her. They had never seemed to be able to understand her and she felt this was just there way of handling it; by shoving her off on some distant relative. Though this wasn’t true and they only wanted to get her away from some of her friends who they thought were bad influences. This might have worked if her Uncle hadn’t been the exact opposite of what her parents had wanted for her. He quickly taught her that purebloods were better then everyone else. She spent two years with her Uncle but a few months after her tenth birthday she was sent back home, much to her dismay since she had fallen in love with her life in Russia. On her arrival home not much had changed, the family was exactly the same except for her brother, who had taken up her spot as the problem child. She quickly took her brother under her wing though and taught him everything that she had learned from her Uncle, even teaching him Russian.
A year after being back in England she received her Hogwarts letter. This turned out to be one of her happiest memories since it was one of the few times where all the attention was on her. After finally being sent off to Hogwarts she was sorted into Slytherin, which delighted her but distressed her parents. Nayda’s time at Hogwarts, though nothing like her time in Russia was some of her favorite times and she loved every moment of it. At home though, during these years, she started getting more rebellious. There were many times after arguments with her parents where she would end up using floo powder to travel back to Russia. She would visit with her Uncle or his daughter Katya. Katya knew a bunch of the pureblooded rich teenagers and they often went out to clubs and other parties which only led to more trouble. Nayda never got caught but quickly got addicted to muggle booze and cigarettes though she latter kicked the habit of smoking.
Her younger sister soon joined her at Hogwarts and was sorted into Gryffindor much to her disgust. Nayda did everything in her power to make Izabella’s life hell but the girl never seemed to take offense so she gradually let it go though she still hated the girl. When her brother joined her at Hogwarts the next year and was sorted into her own house though it brought her sprits up greatly. She again taught her brother everything she knew and by the time she graduated two years latter he was all ready living up to be everything she had dreamed of.
It only took a year for Nayda to move out and by the time she nineteen she was living on her, well sort of. She had to go back to Russia and live with her cousin since she couldn’t afford a house of her own quite yet. She had applied for a job working at Hogwarts right out of school but unfortunately she didn’t get the job since they wanted someone older. So instead she went to Russian got a job working at a small shop, for a while, though this was just so she could keep paying the bills, till she could reapply at Hogwarts.
After a few years in Russian, Nayda decided that it was time to return to Europe. She was now twenty two almost 23 and had more than enough money to support herself. She reapplied at Hogwarts hopefully to get the job as the Defense Against the Dark Arts. This time she was hired much to her delight, though it surprised many since most believed her to be some horrible death eater. She bought a house of her own in London, and began working. Being a new-be the job was very time consuming so she didn’t have much time for friends or a love life. But the last couple of months have begun to slow down and she is slowly entering herself back into the social scene.
Sample Post: It was rare that anyone would venture near this area of the castle grounds. Arguably, it had only been planted a few years ago. People hadn’t wanted to visit this particular area since then. Others told her the same thing that most people avoided the tree as much as possible. It wasn’t a particularly attractive area from an outsider’s perspective, but it held certain magnetism Nayda. She couldn’t think of another place in the castle that could claim to be as deserted as often as this bare spot. It was for this very reason, that she regularly visited the area, perhaps even one of the key areas that one could expect to find her. She had always had issues with vast numbers of people surrounding her and feeling as though she wasn’t able to move – one might even say she was quite claustrophobic. Which probably would have been a correct assumptions being that as a child she had been locked in a closet and had never really got over her fear of small spaces.
On this occasion, her reason for visiting the infamous tree was confusing even to her. She didn’t really have an actual reason more that on waking up she had decided to leave the school in search of a quieter atmosphere. Students were seriously irritating with their constant chatter at this early time of the day. But then, she always found anyone to be annoying at this time in the morning. On this specific morning, she had found the castle to be rather dull and had therefore resolved to find somewhere that caused a limited amount of interest. The problem being that after spending seven years studying in the school and now teaching in the school, she had been to most areas and none of them had been especially exciting.
Having made the decision to wander vaguely in the direction of the infamous tree, she realized she might have made a small misjudgment in her chosen attire. At this early hour, it was still cold and holding onto the previous night’s cool temperatures. Dressed simply in her usual style of clothing at work, of her black robes, black slakes and today a bright yellow shirt, it was colder than she had predicted it would be. Still, she acted as though he couldn’t feel the cold temperatures, although a small shiver crept up the back of her spine, as she continued in the direction of the isolated vicinity.
Reaching her intended destination, she examined the area before standing back for a few minutes, watching the castle. It looked different in the early morning hours than its grand stature in the afternoons and evenings. Glancing back at the tree again, she allowed herself a few minutes to think about what she was doing before she reached a conclusion. It wasn’t a momentous decision, just relating to her movements. Now, that she was here she decided that she might as well meditate for a while, in the few moments of silence she would have without students constant chatter. Taking a few steps towards the tree itself, once satisfied, she turned and seated herself nearby, yet not directly underneath the tree. She might have been odd in her choice of destinations, but she wasn’t stupid enough to sit directly under a potentially violent tree.
.Again feel free to include anything else. I know I made reference to my all ready having the Defense Against the dark Arts job during my application, even though I haven’t actually been accepted but if I don’t get the job then I will fix them. Sorry if I wasn’t suppose to do it that way. Also as for her age I wasn't sure if that was too young, if it is I will change it so she is 28 though I would rather not have to do that.
