Character Information Name: Jennifer of Redbow ( Jenni )
Gender: Female
Age/Birthdate: 16
Position: Noblewomen at the Convent
Location: Convent
Personality: Jennifer is a very stubborn person. If she gets into an argument, she will not stop until she has her way. But in general, she is very kind. She cares for almost everyone, despite their class. She also hates the fact that nobles think they are better than 'commoners' because of how much money they have. She takes pride in defending those who cannot defend themselves.
Jennifer in in no way modest, and loves to speak her mind. She doesn't wait for those to ask her opinion, she just says it. She will take charge of every situation, if it needs charge or not. She is very wise for her age.
Jennifer loves to converse with others, and is very social. She is also a great listener, and usually has the best of advice. Most people say she has "So much Charisma". She has a lot of direction, and knows where she's going in life. She has a great sense of humor, and loves to crack a joke. Jennifer's not great when it comes to being on time. Shes is also quite disorganized.
She is great with a sword and bow. She is also pretty hefty with a dagger, and she's not afraid to say so. She is very agile and swift, and is a great swimmer.
Background: Jennifer grew up at Fief Redbow. She always loved working with her training master, and could use a sword by the age of nine. When she was ten she was sent to the convent (Her parents didn't like her being so unlady-like). Jennifer is the oldest child of three. She has a younger brother, (15) and a younger sister, (13). She was kept at the convent later then others because of her unruly nature.
Physical Appearance: Jennifer has glossy light almond hair, down to her shoulders. She has hazel eyes, with flecks of yellow and blue, that hold much depth. Jennifer has heavy freckles spread all over her face. She is rather tall, about 5' 11". She is very strong and tan, and has much endurance.
Strong Points: Jennifer is great with weapons of all sorts. Her parents sent her away to keep her away from weapons, but still practices with them.
Weakness Jennifer has a quick temper which can cause her to make drastic and unwise decisions. It's hard for her to be on time, because she's always side-tracked and disorganized.
Magic: Jennifer is "Animal-hearted" In the sense that Animals behave well around her, and she can pick up on their emotions. She can also become invisible, but it makes her very tired, and only stay so for a few minutes.
Pets: She has a large blond mare, named Dee. She also has a male mocking bird that follows her around, which she calls Featherball. She also owns a cat she's had for three years, she is all black with white paws and a white chest. Jennifer calls her Zorra.
Sample Post: Jennifer rushed around her room. Clothes went flying as she dug through piles of towels. "Where is it?!" She exclaimed, clawing her way through another pile. She brushed her almond locks out of her eyes.
Zorra, who had been quietly basking a sun ray filtering in through the window, scoffed. She rolled her eyes, flicking her tail as a towel landed dangerously close to her face.
Jennifer paused for a moment. "Good idea." She ran to her disk in the adjoining room. On it lay a embroidery cloth, neatly laid out. "The most obvious places..." She scolded herself, picking it up and heading for the door. "Zorra, I'll be back by third bel-"
A black blob tumbled into the room, cutting Jenni of from her sentence. It streamed at Jennifer, landing on her head. "What in Goddess-" She yelled, flinging Featherball of her head, toward Zorra. Featherball sent Zorra hissing up onto Jennifer's bed. Stupid bird! She exclaimed, hackles up. Fetherball growled back, Well it's not my fault-uh-eh.
Obviously furious Jennifer said, "Featherball, what ARE you doing?"
Featherball, who was now preening himself in the sun ray, looked at her funny. "Right, you can't speak..."
"The embroidery!" Jennifer remembered. Looking around franticly, she found it lying on the ground, crumpled. Muttering curses under her breath, she ran from the room, shutting the door so hard behind her a picture frame fell from the wall and broke.

Thanks for applying! It's a good application, it really is, but... the game takes place before the Queen's Riders have been established. I knew I was forgetting something. I'm really sorry. Maybe you could think of another position? Since we really need noblewomen for the convent right now, perhaps if you changed Jennifer's age you could bring her there.
Meanwhile, I'll look at the rest of it. The only things I can see is that one, glaives hadn't really been established in Tortall either at this time, and weren't part of the normal weapons. In fact it's highly unlikely that any female noble living in Tortall at this time would be good with any kind of weapon.
The only other thing that stands out in the application is her magic. First of all, before and during the Immortals Quartet, few people even knew of the existence of wild magic, and those that did didn't really think that it was real. Secondly, Daine's wild magic stemmed from the fact that her father was a god, and even then it was very powerful. Really powerful wild magic in full mortals might give them the ability to communicate with one species, but even then it probably wouldn't be known for what it was.
Thanks again for applying, and I'm really sorry about the whole mix-up with the time frame.
Re: Jennifer of Redbow
It looks really good!
Just one more thing, I'm really sorry to be so picky-
usually girls leave the convent at fifteen or sixteen, so unless you can think of a good reason for her to stay (she's a priestess, or the daughters thought she wasn't ready to leave) you should either make her younger or change her location to the palace. (although if she's there, you'll probably get less chance to interact with everyone else.) Thanks so much for applying! I can't wait until you're accepted.
Re: Jennifer of Redbow
Well, she's a very unruly, so we'll just say the daughters thought she should stay. I'll change that...
