She enjoys keeping her hair short and androgynous, often fitting easily anywhere on the feminine or masculine spectrum of looks based completely on attire. No matter how she dresses once she rolls out of bed, it's often unmistakable that she's genetically female.<br/><br/><strong>Other Notable Features:</strong> None, just realize I'm playing her slightly heavier than what the pictures suggest. &lt;3<br/><br/></span><div align="center"><em><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">In Depth</span></strong></em></div><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><strong>Personality:</strong> To be Marcelline's friend is like having your name written in a book allowing you all of the access you could want to her. When it comes down to those she calls friends, or even more - she is sweet, caring, protective, loyal, trusting, honest... And generally just as silly. She never finds saying no or backing down easy, making it not entirely uncommon for Marcelline to bite off more than she can chew. Often treating others as she see's them treat the people around them, Marcelline has no place among her friends for blatantly mean individuals or bullies, and even goes out of her way to show they are natural enemies. Which is likely apparent to anyone who spends time around her anyways, as she is a notorious lover of muggles, as well as the first to speak up and protect them if the opportunity calls for it. However, Marcelline isn't particularly the most intelligent of students, nor is she immune to the negative influence of those close to her, even occasionally being manipulated by close friends without knowing their real motives. When it comes to those not close to her, she can sometimes be judging or callous, though often finds herself proven wrong, ultimately leading to a sincere apology if she deems the relationship worth saving. <br/><strong>Marcelline in five words:</strong> Strong, affectionate, accepting, kind, and courageous. <br/><strong>Marcelline in five negatives:</strong> Forgetful, callous, blunt, dim, and impulsive.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> Marcelline grew up on the outskirts of Besançon, surronded by culture, technology, and agriculture. She enjoyed growing up in the slightly more rural part of the growing city, easily making friends and generally being a bit of a tomboy. At age 6, she joined the les louveteaux et louvettes(girl scouts), which quickly became her favorite extracurricular activity, especially camping. Marcelline's mother did an amazing job of staying involved with her other activities, always pushing Marcie (as she called her) to do better, to help others, to be friendly. Her father was far more stern, but often traveled more than he was ever home, which left most of the responsibility on her mom, much to the benefit of Marcelline.  <br/><br/>At age 15, Marcelline went on a three night camping trip with her Scouting troupe. Having done so many before, she was more than confident, completely invincible until the second day grew longer and she found herself not getting along with the other girls as well as she had hoped. It only became worse throughout the evening, eventually leading to Marcelline and her two good friends becoming the target of a mean prank. It was somewhere right around the moment that Marcelline had woken up to being covered in sticky goo and feathers, her friends crying, that she had somehow and spontaneously turned the group offender's skin her favorite color - royal violet. By the time the Scout leaders had flipped on the light, everyone had well forgotten about her crying, feathered friends, let alone herself, having turned their attention on the bright, oddly-discolored girls who still held the implements of their prank in their hands. At the time, it had been the threat of humiliation for herself and her friends that had spurred the sudden uprising of her magical ability, the deep want to protect them all the driving force.<br/><br/>It had been the first time Marcelline had ever shown any hint of magical ability whatsoever, which then led her to exit the girl scouts promptly and decisively. From there on out, her mother's side of the family began to prepare her for schooling at Beauxbatons, revealing their family's history and her grandparent's unique talents, not to mention her mother's. Now a third year at Beauxbatons, Marcelline has has considerable issues in Herbology, Potions, and Astronomy, barely attaining an S in most instances and then avoiding them in future years when possible. However, Marcelline is quite good at most of the other classes, specifically D.a.D.a, Charms, and Ancient Runes. Marcelline is a willing stagehand for Drama, as well as an avid fan of flying, though she's not the best at it. She secretly harbors hopes of becoming a Cursebreaker, or something similarly far away from her family's farm.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong> Marcelline has never met much of any of her father's family except his sisters and brothers. On the other hand, she has met a great many of her pureblood relatives, the reason having been mostly that her father's family lived extremely far away. Supposedly they met when she was very young, though none of their names survived the many years since. As such, her known living family tree is:<br/><br/><strong>Mother:</strong>  Zoé Ophelia Rex (Pureblood) - Previously of <em>Gagne</em>, chose to return to her maiden name, a decision supported by Marcelline and the rest of her family. The divorce with Fredrick was amicable. Zoé is much like her mother, enjoying Charms, transfiguration, and enjoying teaching/watching children.<br/><strong>Father:</strong> Fredrick Gagne (Muggle) - Engineer, Marcelline's father, present until she was 14. Divorced due to job demands and hardly ever being home, Marcelline still keeps in regular contact with him. She was understandably bitter when he left, ultimately forgiving him when he visited again.<br/><strong>Grandma:</strong> Ophelia Violette Rex (Pureblood) - Dedicated wife and mother, lover of Charms, playful (and old) prankster. Nanny.<br/><strong>Grandpa:</strong> Tristan Florence Rex (Pureblood) - Notable Quidditch player (beater), lifetime Herbology/potion student. Lives with Ophelia in Besançon, where he tends to their farm's plants and animals. <br/><strong>Great Grandpa:</strong> Florence Urbain Rex (Pureblood) - Seer, maintains a well-enjoyed dessert shop in Besançon with the help of Marcelline's mother and grandparents.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong> Horses, Drama, carpentry, tools, paint/painting, dirt, spicy food, animals, fires, wit, intelligence, stories, music (rock/alt. rock/electronica), sweets, honesty, chivalry, strength, loyalty, muggle studies, DaDa, sleeping, late nights, dueling, roughhousing, humor, football (playing, watching), rugby (watching), quidditch (watching), Zoo's, Parks, <em>basically being outside</em>, flying.<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Opposite characteristics of above, disrespect, mean spirited pranks, losing/forgetting things, manipulation, "fake"-ness, cheaters, bullies, liars, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, rumors, cockroaches, splinters, bad grades, writing papers, detention, being bored, being cold.<br/><strong>Fears:</strong> "Ending up" alone, failing during pivotal moments, losing loved ones, spiders, being humiliated.<br/><strong>Favorite Animal(s):</strong> Horses, dogs, ferrets, foxes, chinchillas, baby elephants, cats.<br/><strong>Favorite Color(s):</strong> Purple, green, red.<br/><br/><strong>Classes:</strong> <br/>D.A.D.A<br/>H.O.M<br/>Charms<br/>Ancient Runes<br/>Transfiguration<br/>Drama (Stagehand, admirer. She's awful at acting.)<br/>Flying<br/><br/><strong>Volunteer Preference:</strong> The only two of all of them Marcelline would actively offer to do are the Stables or Library, though on occasion she has grimaced less than some others about Janitorial, as well. The rest she maintains no interest in - Village included.<br/><br/></span><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">More Marcelline!</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://ego.globo.com/platb/files/920/2009/01/camisetarasgada.jpg)(http://media-cache-cd0.pinimg.com/236x/ce/6d/3a/ce6d3a4e71a849c7bc476e836c99c840.jpg)(http://www.fashiongonerogue.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/dossier1.jpg)(http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lglnkcJLU51qexu9to1_500.jpg)</div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: timesnewroman;">Player name:</span></strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: timesnewroman;"> Emmykins</span></span></div>
