The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Cicely, though sometimes Cece (though only if you're close to her), isn't someone one can easily get along with. For one, she's cynical and has little faith in humanity. Maybe it's because her own moral core is so twisted and full of grey that she projects this onto other people. Cicely believes everyone is out for themselves, something that she is guilty of herself–to a certain extent. Cicely is incredibly loyal, to a dangerous extent, and would go to any lengths to protect those she loves. She would do anything she can to help them, even if the request isn't exactly legal or morally gratifying. This usually applies to her older brother, Edward, more than anyone. However, Cecily doesn't believe this loyalty is a two way street and rarely allows herself to believe that they have her back like she has theirs. This, naturally, is an attitude she developed after living through her father. After the constant belittlement, the comparisons to her brother, she has come to believe them. Though she'd hate to admit it, her father has affected her in ways that even she struggles to comprehend. The constant belittlement to her brother has caused her to believe he is better than her and her self esteem isn't that high. Not that she yells these things from the roof tops. Another thing that has happened is that she has little respect for authority figures, especially the ministry. The only people she'll really listen to is her siblings and her minimal amount of friends.

Cecily knows what she wants and is determined to get whatever (or whoever) that is, no matter how long it takes. She's a hard worker and is willing to put effort into whatever goal that she has. However, she's not ambitious. Cecily doesn't have a huge dream about her future and takes her life day by day, figuring out what she wants at that moment. Cecily does tend to be rather bossy, though, even if she doesn't mean to be. Cicely is proud, though. Proud of her family history, proud of her title, proud of her place in life. She'll be the first to admit, though, that not everyone in her family deserves the privileges that their surname gives. Cicely often tells people emotions are overrated. But Cicely is also a hypocrite. Cicely is bubbling with emotions herself. Anger, bitterness, but also empathy. Cicely can be selfish when it comes to strangers and can walk all over them but she is empathetic. However, Cecily can find herself believing that it's her biggest weakness. Right now, her heart goes out to those trapped in the precinct, the ones suffering from the policies. If anyone was going to be an anarchist, it would be Cecily and she would happily burn down the ministry tomorrow. Cicely isn't conventional and is happy to go through any method to get to her end. Whatever means necessary, right? Her morals are twisted in the way that she knows what she wants and she believes them to be good. However, her beliefs can sometimes be less than actually good and her methods can be rather off.

Cecily isn't one for a mundane life, though, and wants to live an exciting life, even if the 'exciting' part isn't to most people's definition. In the band that she signed up for, Cecily is probably the most likely to be arrested for public drinking and speeding. Also fighting. But that's only because someone insulted her family or friends. Cecily likes to party and is known to throw them for whoever wants to come. In fact, her parties are almost infamous in the wizarding world for the trouble that happens within them. However, most do confirm they have the time of their lives there and compare them to something akin to a party thrown by Gatsby. Other activities involve finding out government secrets and other things before selling them, though her brother can get these for free if he asks. Though she'd appreciate him taking her out for dinner for free as a token of appreciation. She doesn't ask for much in return from her family. In fact, she'd willingly give her family her life if need be. Even her dad. Even though she wishes he would die. Cecily does have a big heart and though she doesn't believe people change, she hopes they do. Especially her dad. Enough that he at least apologizes to her. Brings her back into the family. Though they were always a mess, Cecily does miss family events, such as Christmas, and hates having to coordinate her stays at the Tudor castle for when her father is around. Deep down, even though it might not be true, Cecily feels like an outsider ever since she came out to the entire family and part of her wishes that she stayed in the closet. Maybe that's why she hasn't had a serious relationship with anyone. Maybe that's why she toys with a woman for a while before tossing her aside the moment she feels like it's getting serious.

Cecily is adaptable though and changes rarely catch her off guard. She analyses a situation before shifting herself and her attitude in order to accommodate. Mostly, though, Cecily is a musician. She's fluent in piano and the violin. Of course, she was raised in the classical genre but ever since she was a young teenager, she grew into pop and r&b. Though not as skilled in dancing, she's talented in ballet due to years of classes when she was a child. It has helped her in sneaking around and is very flexible. In fact, one of the few times you'll see her vulnerable is when she's behind a piano and it's the one thing that her father forced her to practise that she doesn't resent. Cecily also dabbles in the dark arts. Not as much as some other people in her family, she has practiced it. She doesn't want to be caught off guard if the situation arises. Cecily has also dabbled in raising dark creatures, though she often sells them rather than keeping them under her care. She's even been one to dabble in dark potions, though this has fallen rather flat as she isn't much of a potioneer. Other things that Cecily love is self care. Cecily loves baths, especially bubble baths, and other things, such as facial masks and meditation, even yoga.
