CS~
Na.me: Egi Eclatant
Ag.e: She is twelve
Grade: (7-12) Grade seven
Grade Average: Egi usually earns an A- or a B+.
Gend.er: Fe.male
Major Artistic Talent (Painting, singing, etc. May choose up to 3): Egi isn't one for singing, and hasn't tried drama. She can paint, but her main talent lies in art. Her art is detailed and smooth, and she's put years into perfecting it. Her landscapes are often a little macabre and fantastic, while people are drawn in an anime-esque style, with sharp chins and large shining eyes. It's a more complex style, and she rarely does simple art, since it's too easy to make obvious mistakes (like drawing a circle well but having terrible limbs, shading, etc). (Her art style was inspired by these two artists, please look at their profiles:

Appearance: Egi is a little small for her a.g.e, barely five feet high with a thin build and pale skin tone. She has dark, chocolate-brown hair that goes down a little past her shoulders. It's kept in two ponytails by navy ribbons, and her bangs are mostly brushed to the left, barely scraping over her left eye. Finally, she has a navy ribbon she wears on the left side of her head with a velvet navy-rose. Her chin, nose, and fingertips are a little sharp and she has Heterochromania (her eyes are different colors). While the right is a vivid emerald, the left is a somber blue. She wears blue jeans almost going to her knees, and warm, knee-high socks with thick black and white stripes, as well as leather, simple shoes. She has a gray shirt with a row of small buttons, a large folding collar and cuffs, with a small pocket on the right side of her chest. Finally, she has a tan satchel she always wears on her right shoulder. Egi is ridiculously nearsighted and usually wears rectangular glasses with clean lenses and thin red frames.
Nationality (Russian, Irish, etc.): American
Items (You don't have to include clothes): Egi wears a tan satchel containing a thick, spiral-bound sketchpad with hard black covers, a thick leather journal of lined paper, a few more journal like that but larger, a small yet heavy pack of coloring pencils of all shades, a little pouch of her money, a book about mythical creatures, a handheld pencil sharpener, two art pens, and finally, a little artist's mannequin. She almost always has a pencil behind her ear.
Fa.mily: Egi has her two parents, of course. She also has a twin brother named Clement and an elder brother named Alderic (I know three's pushing it, I'm sorry)
Traits/Personality (May be typed in paragraph format or bullet point listing format.): Egi is certainly a more somber, quiet person than most her a.g.e upon first sight. She spends most her time writing stories, making art, or learning. Often she'll come to people asking for opinion on her work, but tries not to interfere and will wait for the right moment. She doesn't mind people, and she could easily talk to people, but Egi sometimes seems too calm, so some people don't bother talking to her. She loves art with vivid color, and enjoys rhythmic poetry. However, she also loves haunting, serious stories and complex worlds. She's often lost in thought, and sometimes will start sketching her ideas out. She loves drawing mythical creatures and fantastic, over-the-top cities and views. Egi often becomes philosophical, and wonders a lot about human morals and warfare. She loves talking walks at night, and often seeks solitude. Her favorite seasons are autumn and winter for their cold winds and quiet nights. She also enjoys Halloween, not only for the candy and seeing Halloween costumes, but also because she thinks it as the night when dead and living co-exist (which inspires a lot of artwork from her). Her favorite color is silver, favorite book is the Ho.bbit (as it was one of the first novels she ever read), and she thinks ravens are just one of the best creatures out there (besides the demons she conjured up in her imagination, but don't mind those).
Although Egi is more devoted to art and sometimes shies away from human contact, she can easily start up conversations with people and is enthusiastic about the things she loves.
Bio: Egi was bo.rn on December 21 (haha) on the Ye.ar of the Dragon (2000) with her twin brother, Clement. The two already had an older brother a few years o.l.d.e.r than they were. They were born into a modest family in a small house on the edge of the town they lived in. As they grew older, their parents' jobs became more demanding and the twins had never managed to develop and entirely stable relationship with them (simply because they had little time to spend with them). There weren't too many toys, but their mother had taken an art class in college and thus there was a lot of art and crafting material. Not to mention they also had an old piano that her elder brother, Alderic would come to love. Egi began learning to draw on their sketchpads around four. Although her drawings were simple and sloppy at first, they began to develop smoother lines and she became genuinely interested in art. Soon, Egi began to go through books on drawing. She didn't like any of the styles, but on her seventh birthday, her parents bought her a book on drawing complex, detailed anime. She grew to love the traits and characteristics, and developed her own style over the ye.ars. Their family also had many books, and she and her siblings got used to learning to read together. Egi loved fantasy and would read about history often. They would often go down to the local art store and get materials. She would get journals and sketch pads to write and draw, but her twin brother Clement loved crafting. He could make a scorpion out of some smooth rocks and bands of metal, and he would also sculpt and try to build from scratch. On their ninth birthdays, Clement spent about a week making Egi an artistic mannequin (a tiny wooden doll with a humanoid build, often it had bendable parts or mobile joints connected by wire, etc. Artists model off of it when drawing people). To this day, she still keeps it in a satchel. Egi also loved the sound of the piano. While she had never developed much real musical taste, Alderic began practicing early on and would play beautiful songs on it.
Throughout school, Egi was an incredible speller and had decent grammar and knew a lot of history (much of which was Medieval). She was thought of as "shy" by some of the teachers, although she really didn't mind. She also made a few good friends who focused on art and writing. She was content with this, and spent most her time drawing, talking with her friends, writing, or spending time at home. Eventually, her parents began to see that the three's skills deserved more attention, and they decided to send them to the academy. It's been a few weeks since then.
Job?: A minor with a job...No.
Other: Cheeseberry nuggets are ruling over me!
Sample Post (optional, but good): Clement leaned against the door, waiting for me. He clutched our suitcase and slung his pack onto his back. Our room was dimly lit by the flickering light, with a tall bunk-bed in the far corner. Across from it was a large, cluttered work desk with all our drawings and scraps. There was a circular table behind the bunk bed near the left side of the room with some of Clement's art he'd made. The walls were covered with diagrams, posters, landscapes, battles, pictures, all of which had been drawn my me...by hand. It was still hard to believe we were actually leaving. I'd come to love this room so much over the years. I loved waking up and staring out the window, down below at the city we lived in. It seemed so inferior to me, and I always got an uncharacteristic feeling of joy that was almost childish. I shivered, inhaling deeply to calm myself.
(I'm going to be making two CS's after this one...sorry it was so long...)
