Appearance: Billie is fairly short and stands about 3 feet and 11 inches. She's fairly scrawny and gangly. Her hair is chopped short into a messy mop of light brown with streaks of blonde. She has a very boyish and androgynous appearance. Ever since her mother threw her out, she has been dressing and generally passing herself off as male. She is very guarded about anyone finding out. Her brother, Joe, knows, but he hasn't told anyone, allowing her to hide from their mother and start over. Her clothing is worn and consists of various hand-me-downs slapped together. At the moment, they are baggy, and she's forced to roll her sleeves and pant legs up. She is fairly dusty as most children are.
History: Anna Farrow spent much of her young life in a village not far from Hogsmeade. There, she met Thomas Farrow, the son of a smithy whom she very quickly fell in love with. With him, she had her first child, Joe. The three lived happily until Joe was around 2, and Thomas was killed, hit by a carriage in the streets. Thrown into grief, Anna changed, resorting to drinking and gambling. It was during that time that she was charmed by the wizard who ended up getting her pregnant with Billie. Much of Billie's early years consisted of them moving from place to place while Anna struggled to hold down a job. Around when Billie was 5, Anna finally landed a steady job as a house maid. It was then that the young girl started to show her first bouts of accidental magic. At first, her mother brushed it off as going batty, but soon it became apparent that her daughter was the root cause. Anna thought perhaps she could beat it out of her child, but, when that didn't garner any results, she sought help from the church. However, after a certain, disastrous episode of accidental magic that ended with Anna getting into trouble with her employer, Billie was cast out. Eight-years-old and alone, the girl cut off all her hair and acquired boys clothing so she could assume another life and find employment easier. Although an honest sort of child, she constantly ended up with the wrong crowd of friends and became a rat catcher. She is quite good at her profession, but it pains her to have to kill the poor animals. Once, she made the rats in someone's kitchen just disappear. Unknown to her, they, later, were found in the house next door. Not long ago, she wandered on foot from their village to Hogsmeade where she found herself among other individuals who were also different. Now, she scampers about town, making friends, clearing people's households of rats, and trying to start a new life for herself.
Personality: Billie's schooling is patchy at best, but she possesses her own sort of street intelligence, and she is very creative. Some folks would call her odd at the way she prefers the presence of animals over people, but they seem like the safer option. She isn't fond of people touching her, nor does she toss around her trust easily, but she is a very loyal friend once you get to know her. Despite the cruelty of her family, she is a very kind child, even if she tends to make mistakes that might make people think otherwise. Ever since she started posing as a boy, she's felt more free and comfortable with herself. However, even she realizes that it cannot last, so she is simply enjoying life. She likes to be helpful. She loves baked goods. Her favorite color is green, and she's good at climbing.
Other: Not at this moment!
Sample Roleplay Post: Narrowing her gaze, Billie swiped at her running nose with the back of her hand and scowled. That blasted rat was making a fool of her! It was a slippery devil, and it had already evaded her capture twice. She'd talked herself up to being the best rat catcher in the town, and now she was turning out to be the worst. The child watched as the rodent skittered under cupboard. Snatching up a nearby brook, she flattened herself onto her stomach and began jabbing the handle underneath, using it to try and sweep the rat out. With a bit of work, and a lot of flailing, she managed to coax the creature out from its hiding spot. With a victory noise, she launched herself on top of it, nearly squashing the little thing. Using her left foot, she dragged the bag she used to hold her findings closer and started the claw-filled battle of stuffing it into the sack.
((I can do longer or shorter, but I figured I'd go with short-medium for the app.))
