-- QUINN ELENA DAVIES !
-- NAME: Quinn Elena Davies -- NICKNAMES: Q -- AGE & BIRTHDAY: Twenty, December third -- BIRTH PLACE: Kennebunk, Maine -- ORIENTATION: Straight -- OCCUPATION & SCHOOL GRADE: Barista at Starbucks -- PLAYED BY: Taylor Swift
-- PERSONALITY !
-- CAREFUL: Before Quinn's parents got divorced when she was eleven, Quinn have always been extremely carful and cautious. It's almost like she is afraid to open up to people. not that Quinn doesn't have any friends, because she does. But she is afraid to fall in love. Just imagine if someone broke her heart. She's only tried that one time and that was the day her father left them. Even though, she does believe in true love. Somehow she is afraid that it might not ever turn up for her, because she is kind of a prude when it comes to boys. Quinn is afraid and turns shy whenever boys approaches her, and somehow she blames her father, John Davies for that. He was the one that left Quinn's mother after all. Being an only child haven't helped a lot. If Quinn had had a sister or even a brother, she would have had someone to talk to. Truth being told, Quinn felt rather alone in the years after her parents got divorced. All this have been her extremely careful, and even though Quinn was sure that her father loved her, she must admit now, nine years after he left them, that actually he didn't cared for her. At all. He was careless.
-- INSECURE: This whole deal about her father walking out on her mother and Quinn, have changed her a lot. Before, she used to be a bubbly, happy, smiling girl. And sure, Quinn can still be smiling and laugh when people say something funny. But most of the time, it's an act. It's slowly coming back to her. But this left her insecure. Quinn has a constant fear of not being good enough. She is insecure about her body, her future. Everything. Her insecurity is the reason why she dropped out from college, just a few months ago. She was in her junior year and was doing okay, but her insecurity took over and that made her make the decision. And even though it's been nine years, Quinn still thinks it's because of her dad. Now Quinn works full-time as a barista at Starbucks, finding out what she wants to do with her life. Quinn is starting to get better, but it's first now she feels some sort of progress. and she kind of wants to get married someday, but in her own opinion it's not very likely, because what boy wants an insecure, silent, shy girl who have only kissed two boys, one of them on dare when she was sixteen and the other one being an asshole, who broke her heart?
-- SWEET: Quinn doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She would never hurt anyone. In fact, she never even killed a mosquito. If it wanted to sting her, then it was meant to be and she wouldn't swat it. Quinn is a sweetheart, but since she only has very few friends, No one really know. Her best friend have tried taking her to some parties, but most of the time it have ended with Quinn standing in the corner, talking to the lamp. But Quinn can feel that she is ready to move on. And a good start for moving on, have been her moving out from her mother's house and moving into her own flat. Quinn believes in true love, despite her father left them. She is just too scared to let anyone in. Maybe it's because she is waiting for the right person. Because, obviously, John Davies wasn't the right man for Ruth. Anyone can see that, especially Quinn. That's why she haven't been in a hurry to find a boyfriend, but now she is willing to give it a try.
-- LOVES: Water, Row boats, Beaches, Bathing, Sand between her toes, Walking barefoot, Dresses, Oversized cotton shirts, Reading, Novels, Sweet tea, The smell of flowers, Being outside, Summer, Sunshine, Rainbows, Headbands, Colors, High heels, Vintage things, Orchids, Taking pictures, Chocolate chip cookies, Baking, Her polaroid camera, Music

-- HISTORY !
John and Ruth met when they were around twenty-five years old. They fell in love, John proposed, Ruth said yes, got married and got their only child, Quinn Elena Davies. She was a cute little girl and was always in a good mood when she grew up. there was never anything wrong with her and she loved her parents all the same. Quinn started in first grade when she was six years old, and both her parents took her there. John and Ruth were so proud of their little baby. The first four years, Quinn was in school everything was just dandy. But then, one day when Quinn came home from school, she could hear her father's voice. That was weird, because he was normally at work when she came home from school. Quinn followed the sound, which was rather loud. She then found her parents standing on the stairs, arguing loudly and including very many swear words. Quinn ran downstairs, to her room and started crying. After half an hour, her mother came down to her and told her that nothing was wrong. Quinn believed her.
A few days after that, it was Quinn's eleventh birthday and her grandparents came over and celebrated her and that was the only day in a long time, that Ruth and John didn't fight. Quinn's birthday was the last happy day she had in a long time. A week after her eleventh birthday, she came home from school and found her dad upstairs, packing a suitcase. Quinn begged him not to leave, John didn't said anything, but left. And since that day, Quinn haven't seen her father. Things went downhill from there. Quinn, who used to be so happy and smiling and easygoing, was getting really depressed and never enjoyed going to school anymore. Ruth even sent her to a psychologist, who just talked to her and asked her how she felt. Quinn would then cry and she felt like nothing helped. She just wanted her dad to come back. Deep down, Quinn knew that John would never come back. She felt like she couldn't talk to her "friends" in school, because they seemed to have perfect families, where the father didn't walked out on them. And Quinn also felt like she couldn't talk to her mother about it. After John left Quinn and her mother they left Kennebunk, because there were too many painful memories and they ended up here in Capeside.
She passed high school, still feeling miserable as ever. Only a few friends (and one boyfriend, who broke her heart after a month) lasted all the way through high school. Applying for college was hard, but she did it. And she almost made it through three years, before she had to realize that she couldn't do it anymore. Just a few months ago, Quinn dropped out from college. Now she works and wants to do something else with her life, and she is ready to try and let someone in, close to her heart. Quinn is ready to love. She is over her dad's leaving, but she still has a small fear that it might happen to her. Quinn is starting to get happy.
-- SAMPLE !
It was very few classes that Sirius enjoyed. Or where his presence was indeed welcome. Potions wasn't his strongest site, but he needed to take it, simply because his aspiration to become an auror. And one thing that he disliked even more was transfiguration and that meant he had to spend time with professor McGonagall who was also head of gryffindor. Oh, sigh. She was quite boring and it seemed like she didn't particularly liked either Sirius or James. But Sirius only tried to make it a little funnier in her class, it wasn't his fault that she was an old lady. Him entertaining the class had caused a fair few detentions. Not only to him, but also to James. Remus and Peter always seemed to getting off the hook. Remus was a goody-goody that never did anything wrong. Peter was just scared and never took the blame for anything they ever did, even though he was just as responsible as James and Sirius. And today their last class was indeed transfiguration. Along with the Hufflepuffs. luckily it wasn't with the slytherins, because if it had been, Sirius would have used the entire class to mock Severus Snape with his greasy hair. Or his big, eagle-like nose. Yes, sirius was indeed a prankster and a joker, but he only learned from the very best; James Potter. Best friend and companion.
Whenever they had transfiguration the time would go immensely slow. Why, sirius had no idea. It seemed pointless. Especially because an hour of quidditch practice went by like the snap of two fingers. And it didn't did any good on Sirius' concentration that the sun was shining outside and made the classroom feel like a human oven. Sirius shifted in his seat rather uncomfortably. After a long day of learning all he wanted was to find Snivelly and just mock him. Or find a girl to snog. Or go outside and rest under the big tree by the lake. Right now the last thing seemed most like what he really wanted. The group of four consisting of him, James, Remus and Peter sat where they always sat in McGonagall's class - all behind in the back. They always did, plus today he couldn't face Alice Prewett. Sirius had shagged her a few days ago. Finally. and then afterwards, accidentally called her easy. Easy. What the hell, you may think. Alice Prewett wasn't easy. She was probably the uneasiest girl out there. Plus, her and Sirius used to be excellent friends. But these days they were on the outs. Sirius wasn't exactly good at apologies. Because he lived a fairly careless life, shagged a girl here and there, never thought about the consequences. What could be so wrong in that? Not that Sirius was in love with her or anything - in fact, Sirius had never been in love. He didn't believed in love for himself, but he was all in for Lily Evans and his best mate, James Potter to become a couple.
Sirius sighed as he sat in class, McGonagall blabbering on and on about something. He couldn't quite comprehend what it was. His brain was fried by now. But then James whispered something in his ear, that made Sirius laugh. Maybe a bit too loud, because everyone turned and glanced at him. He felt McGonagall's piercing eyes staring straight in his. "Care to elaborate what mr. Potter just told you, mr. Black?" She said with a very stern voice. Sirius knew he had to. He sighed and cleared his throat: "He just said that the last time he saw Snivelly was when he was falling on his ass, because of Filch." Sirius said and couldn't keep a straight face anymore. He hid his face in his hands and roared with laughter along with James and was soon followed by Peter. Remus was just shaking his head, not laughing. "In that case. mr. Black and mr. Potter, you can leave this class. at once!" McGonagall roared and it didn't took the boys many seconds to pack their things together.
As they were outside the door, they heard McGonagall's voice slightly soften a bit and she continued to talk. James told Sirius he was hungry and so he went downstairs. They agreed to meet up in the common room later. But sirius still walked to the seventh floor, because he needed to chill a bit. But on his way to the common room, he saw a familiar person. Familiar was indeed the right word. It was his favorite cousin. Andromeda. Bella and Narcissa's awesome sister. Sirius ran over towards her, She was apparently on her way in the Ravenclaw common room. "Andy! Wait up!" He called, hoping she would hear him. Sirius then ran over to her and sent her a big smile.

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to ask you to run this though a case converter before any of the admin here will read it. The reason being it's just twenty times harder to read lots of text when there's no capitalization and we have to read stuff all day.
edit: Apparently Nikki is reading this now, but you might want to go ahead / for future reference.

- Please use capitals. - Be careful not to repeat yourself - Try not to put too much history in your personality. - Try re-reading your writing, there are a few errors like “never nothing” instead of “never anything” and “didn’t fought”, when it should be “didn’t fight” - Keep in mind not to centre your character on one life events- She’s made up of more than just her dad leaving.
The only main issue is the capital letters, the other stuff is just things you will need to take into consideration when posting and for future applications.
