Welcome to Gaia! ::

hello just doing requested crit!


I'll go over approval regulatory and then suggestions

Approval pert-
Age must be 13-18. 13 is very young, and very very few students are at this age, most average out at 14-17.
Appearance wise- just remember that no students are allowed items/weapons with the exception of reapers.

Other-
I notice you have her written as bi-polar, and while I can also see you want to give her two personalities, that's not something that's accurate or really a thing we can approve. Bi-Polar is a mental illness that is very debilitating and characterized by extreme emotional fluctuations and often pairs with depression and violent outbursts. Multiple personality disorder is also a mental illness that often develops as a response to trauma and is also very closely paired with things like depression, aggression, and other very debilitating things. So as the personality is written now, it's not accurate to the actual mental illnesses and could be considered offensive to those who are educated or impacted by those mental illnesses.

We also try to avoid giving characters more than one personality as it's proven very difficult to play and accurately represent. I would suggest that you try to re-write her as being overly emotional, as many teen going through puberty are, rather than falling into trying to use a mental illness or giving her multiple personalities. It's a lot easier as both a player and a RP partner as then gives a good basis for developing her without having keep her stagnant with certain traits which down the road, may no longer be desired or prove too limiting in RP opportunities. Plus, if a character is focused mostly on violent and cruel behaviors, it's harder to find RP partners as most of Amity is focused on student life, and while suffering happens, the majority is lighthearted RP and quite casual. Having a student who rather would simply be dealing with puberty, which is hella rough on its own can allow for instances of such behavior but to a point where it's not limiting or intimidating for RP opportunities!

The reference of items is mostly as there is a scythe pictured in the refs, so I wanted to confirm that this item was not intended for the actual student.
Additional but minor- All halloweener have skin as skin- with only minor patches or parts being covered by scales/fur/feathers. So a few scales on her hands would be fine, but not her whole body.

Her wings could also be out 24/7, but perhaps not to such a massive/natural size. Basically, skull pins help students fit into halls and such, including wings, so her needing to hide them and have them rip from her back are not needed. They'd be shrunk to fit while still granting her the ability of flight.

Portraying mental illnesses is a very tricky subject that we do our best to approach with understanding and education- if you are wanting to play a bi-polar character, I would highly recommend doing a great deal of research on the actual illness, treatments, drawbacks and causes. There is a great plethora of information widely available, and we don't say a flat no on such things rather we do our best to mitigate portrayals that would be inaccurate or harmful and rather encourage players to do their best to understand just what they ask for when they give their characters such aspects.

Puberty is a much easier aspect to play however, as it happens to everyone and takes on many different forms. There many different ways to deal with it, and some of the best examples are in common media like TV shows, books, and even games. Harry Potter has Harry struggling with developing feeling for Cho Chang, with having to deal with the stress of school and his home life while expected to be a hero and leader- he fights with his best friends at several point over very simple things. Puberty is a hormonal change and for many writers, it acts as a way to portray a coming-of-age story. It's not a very complex way of writing, but rather a very human way of writing, if that helps.
