Harley Savannah Woods: an athletic, feministic extrovert. She's not afraid to get her hands dirty, and she sure as hell isn't afraid to get into your face if you step out of line with her. She's been raised with two older brothers in the household, and all of their male friends coming over frequently. Harley may have been raised to be a gentlelady, but she's anything but that at times. She isn't afraid to throw the first punch if she knows the other person deserves it. Be nice to her, and she'll be nice in return. Throw her into the mud, and she'll throw mudballs straight down your pants. Harley's not a person to think things through-- she's a very spontaneous person, and she goes before she looks, dealing with her mistakes when they happen. She lives moment by moment, and is very well capable of diving into action without a plan. Though, while she acts a lot on instinct and can be very impulsive at times, even an idiot knows which battles to concede. She may act rashly at times, pulling stunts that could potentially be of harm to her heal ("magic can heal anything, guys") but she's no idiot. If there's anything else about Harley, it's that she loves being out and about, doing anything that means being active. She's really athletic and into sports - throw her a ball, and she'll either spike it, kick it, or hit it back with a bat. There's this passion inside of her for the things she likes, like sports and whatnot, but, it makes her really competitive as well. If she's doing something, she has to win, or it was for nothing. Aligned with that passion is this burning energy that is just really difficult for her to burn off. When she does, however, don't you dare try to wake her up. God knows she needs her beauty sleep, and she's capable of strangling someone if they wake her up. Harley is a person who takes well to new changes, and adapts quite easily. Making conversation comes easy to Harley, as does reading people. When she notices these little changes, she often calls out on them, mostly out of curiosity, and also mostly without any regards to the other person's sensitivity. It's not all too complicated, really. Especially if you know the people very well. Not much can get past her, and if something does, it's because she was distracted for a change. It is rare, however, because she's usually really focused, and almost never lets herself get carried away with dreams. She's actually quite realistic (and will definitely make her points come across, no matter how blunt they may be, if it's required), and values honesty above everything else - except maybe, of course, loyalty. She also enjoys being right, hence why she's also quite logical and reads up on more facts than her brain should be able to hold. However, if there's one thing that's a challenge for Harley, it's definitely school. It's such an organized environment, and a place where she has to keep a timeline, and she's just not meant for that. Ever since she was a child, Harley has been messy and unable to keep track of where she should put everything, yet strangely, she can locate everything with a surprising amount of ease. Trust me, it's not because she's not smart, because she is. Being organized and tidy is just a major challenge for Harley. She's an ESTP. 

7) Write about the history of your character. History must be at least two paragraphs long. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. (Again, you can copy this onto your character page later!)

Harley's life is a somewhat complicated one, even before she was born. Her mother hails from a long-line of pure-bloods - the Woodhouses. They don't approve of many things - homosexuality, muggle-borns, blood traitors, etc. So naturally, that meant they disapproved of Imogen Woodhouse as a whole. From a young age, she was a rebel, but her parents believed they could sort her out. This obviously didn't work out, and she only rebelled more and more from underneath them. She went off to Hogwarts at the young age of eleven, was quickly sorted into Slytherin, where she thrived. She was quite mischievous during her time there, and ultimately got expelled on her second to last year for setting a stink bomb off in her head of house's office. The family was downright embarrassed, and did their best to make amends. The school, however, didn't re-admit Imogen, forcing the family to send her to the American school. They followed months later, Imogen's father having inherited his family's own business. At the age of seventeen, Harley dropped out of Ilvermorny and eloped with a muggle names Michael she'd met the summer prior. They had their eldest son - James - when they were nineteen and better off. Being better off didn't mean being steady, so they still had to take two jobs each to provide for their son. While they didn't expect it, they had their second child at the age of 25-- Dylan. This time, they didn't even bother getting more jobs. They didn't want to suffer from lack of sleep just to provide for a newborn and a toddler. They were in a financial crisis, and they didn't know how to get out of this one. Well, they knew of a way, but they didn't like it. They didn't have many options, however, so days later, they found themselves returning home. This proved to be a mistake. The only way their families would accept then back was if they filed for a divorce, and stopped seeing each other. While Michael nor his family were aware of Imogen's magical abilities, Imogen's family weren't aware that the father of Imogen's children was a muggle. Hence why they allowed Imogen to stay with her children, inclusively encouraging her to demand for sole custody. There weren't many options for Michael and Imogen, and they were aware of it, so the filed for a divorce. It was for the best, they told themselves. And honestly, it was. They wouldn't have lasted long in the streets. A custody battle ensued, and in the end, it was declared Imogen would have the kids, with Michael being allowed to have two weekends a month with his sons. This arrangements, unfortunately, continued for a few years, until Dylan was five, and James was eleven. By then, he hadn't had any magical signs, nor had he received any letters. It gave away to Imogen's parents that something was wrong. When they confronted their daughter, they were interrupted by James and Dylan, who'd arrived from a visit to their father's and were telling their mother that he would be getting married to a "nice lady". The conversation was effectively pushed back for a while longer, and Michael got remarried seven months later. ...they definitely still had a thing for each other, though. Michael and Imogen slept together a few weeks after his return from his honeymoon. It was something they didn't think though, and hadn't expected, but it had happened. And the result of it was a third pregnancy, which she found out about two months later. She was set to re-marry about six months later. She knew she didn't have any options but to tell everything to her parents. Boy was that a mistake. Her parents didn't take it all too well, like she'd expected, and disowned her. She had twenty minutes to pack her and her kids' things and leave. They'd cut her off, and she had nowhere to go. She went to Michael's place first, hoping he would help a former lover, but he did the opposite. He vehemently refused to help her, instead demanding for the kids' custodies. Panicked, she fled. She'd found this abandoned shack, and was staying there in the mean time, but she knew she had to find someplace to stay, and soon. But... things weren't looking up to her. She'd officially hit rock bottom. Just when she was going to give up, and go to the nearest orphanage to leave her kids at, something happened. Or, well, someone. Elyza Woods was the daughter of one of the most successful orthopedic surgeons in the state. She was studying to follow in her mother's footsteps, but it wasn't really what she wanted to do. She wanted to open her own restaurant. She often fought with her mother about it, and the shack was her small getaway. The day they stumbled into each other, things changed. They exchanged their stories, and it was truthfully quite therapeutic, up until Elyza suggested she come live with her and her mother. While Imogen knew she shouldn't do it, she had to put her kids before her, so she hastily agreed. Many things happened during the time she was staying with the Woods family. Imogen and Elyza got to know each other better, and formed a friendship. Harley Annabelle Woodhouse was born. Imogen managed to get back onto her feet, working while Elyza's mother kept the kids in the hospital's daycare. Things were definitely getting better for her, but things didn't quite reach their climax until they exchanged their I Do's, and Imogen Woodhouse became Imogen Woods. When she was ready, which proved to be a long time later, Imogen re-introduced now 18 year old James and 12 year old Dylan to now-player-for-the-USA-national-soccer-team Michael, and introduce Michael to their youngest child-- Harley. While the younger girl was able to bond with her father over soccer - the one thing she could possibly love more than her family - it was harder for the other two kids to feel okay being around him. They resented him. James for causing so much trouble and pain to his family, and Dylan for him missing out on a lot of important events in his life. Harley was young, and oblivious, to everything that was occurring, and had occurred. Just when life was getting back to normal, with Michael taking the kids every two weekends, shit hit the fan. It was one of Dylan and Harley's weekends with their father, and the trio were out playing soccer with the rest of their dad's family - their step-siblings and half-siblings were out playing with them. Harley's team had lost, she remembered, and the next thing they knew, the soccer ball had exploded. She didn't know what had happened. She was confused, and annoyed for losing the game. But one thing was for sure... her family would never look at her the same way. Imogen luckily knew what had happened - she was magic herself, so she knew how to handle the situation. She didn't even bother telling Michael what the hell was going on. Her one focus was making sure Harley understood that she was special, and nothing was wrong with her. She made her comprehend as best as she could what magic was, how she had it, and what it meant for her. The inevitable happened when she got her letter to Ilvermorny-- Michael found out about his daughter's magic. He immediately banned his family from going near her. To him, she was a hazard. He couldn't wait to get rid of her. She was a freak. A freak that he didn't want to be related to. He even offered to pay for her school, but Imogen had already taken care of that. Besides, if that's what he thought about their daughter, Imogen didn't want anything from him. Harley was soon sent to Ilvermorny. However, that didn't stop her father from sending her letters, claiming she was a freak and should stop all of this nonsense soon. Harley was getting tired of his bullshit. She wanted him out of her life. So, when it continued, she took matters into her own hands. She practically begged her mother to transfer her to a school far away, and to not tell Michael where. This technically went against what the two had agreed upon, but it was clear Michael didn't want Harley. Imogen talked it over with Elyza, and the latter realized this was the perfect opportunity to make her dream a reality. Agreeing, they snagged Harley a transfer out of Ilvermorny. She would be homeschooled for the second semester of fourth year, and then join Hogwarts.
