Hell to the yeah, let's get this party started! Will be putting my character sheet here.
Name assigned at birth: August Munroe
Nickname: Aurora (from Sleeping Beauty)
Age: 17 (March 6th)
Physical description: August is a long-legged, small-chested girl with a thin build, standing roughly 5'10". She has tousled wavy hair in a bob style, reaching her shoulders. Its colour is ash in the roots, quickly turning blonde. Sometimes, she pulls the top layer of hair back for a half-ponytail effect. Her eyebrows match the colour of her roots, and are curved and rounded, matching the soft and circular appearance of her face. August has a straight-edged nose and small but full lips, her favourite lipstick colours being red, a slight magenta shade, and a rose-beige nude. Her green eyes are wide and slightly down-turned, with either false eyelashes or lash-boosting mascara. August is rarely without a full face of makeup, including lipstick, blush, and foundation matching her porcelain, cool coloured skin. Overall, with makeup, August is highly attractive. Without it, she is plain to attractive, depending on the viewer.
Due to her training as a model, August walks straight-backed and proper, and avoids bad habits such as biting her nails and fidgeting. Very fashion-focused when around people, August likes to wear pastels in the summer and natural colours and blues in the winter. Her outfits often include floral patterns, with fit-and-flare dresses, skirts, open cardigans, jean and white lace shorts, statement necklaces, leggings, bright coloured belts, and flowing tops (pretty much think Pinterest). When by herself, August tends to revert to her baggy gray hoodie and leggings, but still doesn't lack makeup.
There is a birthmark shaped like a heart on August's right ankle, and she has several freckles over her body.
Personality: It's easy to see that August enjoys attention, fame, and excess. In general, August likes having stuff, whether it be clothes, technology, accessories, or cosmetics. She has never lacked much in her life, except certain foods she hasn't been allowed to eat. She tries her best to be known by everyone she meets, and become a friend. Or, at least, have the person think she's nice. August is a natural born people-pleaser, especially in the case of her mother, who often dictates August's actions. August is rarely able to distinguish between being taken advantage of and being asked for a favour, and will do most that's asked of her, with the exception of manual labour and cleaning, which she will refuse to do unless incentivized or coerced. August can be tricked into believing a lot of things, not often taking the time to check facts. Because of this August easily appears dumb and materialistic. She can be described as ignorant in the sense that she doesn't understand other people's struggles because she hasn't thought that they would have them, having so much in her own life. August has a rich and creative imagination, and can say rather random and outlandish things when she is in an environment she feels comfortable in.
August loves social media, from Tumblr, Facebook to Snapchat, she has it all and can't stand not being connected to it. Instagram is, of course, the most important of them to her. She's also always up for gossip.
Superpower: Astral projection. August is able to separate her 'soul' or 'aura' from her body and project it where she wishes. To do so, August needs to be in a resting or meditative state, and can't move her physical body until she returns, her body acting like in a deep, unbreakable sleep (hence Aurora). In her aura form, August can be visible or invisible, and has the ability to hold and touch objects or go through them. Neither of these factors are currently controllable.
Have they had it from birth or has it come from some other source: From birth.
Brief character bio: Raised by a single mother alongside her twin brother Parker, August lived a structured, planned life from the beginning. Her mother, a CEO for a large corporation, wanted the best for her children. As they grew up, Parker appeared to have the talent for music, while August had a pretty face and not much else. She became a child model for different products and brands, learning about the model industry and doing jobs after school hours. August loved the attention and feeling pretty, but she didn't feel like she had the connection with people that she wanted.
August used her power often as a baby, though it faded as she began to grow through the toddler phase. Her memorable account was when she was 10, dozing off after a photoshoot. Having always wanted to go to Paris, August pictured herself there and suddenly found herself in front of the Eiffel tower, people passing through her like she was made of mist. She had several more of these events occur, but simply assumed that they were vivid dreams.
It was at 13 that August discovered Instagram, and thought that it was the perfect platform for her to still model to please her mother, and do what she loved, which was having and connecting with a fanbase and people who care about her. At current she has 700,000 followers.
August's ability was truly confirmed several months ago when Parker went missing. On the third day of his absence, August imagined being with him again, and was suddenly in a motel room, her brother sleeping on the bed. August woke her brother and demanded that he would explain himself. The more rebellious of the two, he had decided that he had had enough of his mother dictating his life and left. Using a mixture of logic and guilt, August convinced him to return home.
August assumed it had been a stress dream until Parker showed up at the door a day later. This time, it was him demanding answers on how she had found him. August explained her 'dreams' from childhood on to her brother and mother, and began testing the ability. It was August's mother who signed her up for the show, insisting it would be good publicity for her modelling career. Reluctantly, August agreed.
Bonus round for your character to answer in their voice:
Smile for the camera and talk to us about yourself and about why you are here with us. Go!
August gave a photogenic, model-perfect smile before speaking. "Hi guys! My name's August Munroe, unfortunately no relation to Marilyn." She gave a wistful laugh. "I'm looking forward to getting to know everybody at the house. It's like, a big long slumber-party, huh? Anyway, a few things about me! My favourite colour is pink, of course, I have a Boston terrier named Charlotte, and I absolutely adore Alessia Cara. Oh! And follow me on Insta, @August_Dreams! Bye bye!" August's bracelets jangled as she gave a wink and a cheery peace sign. She paused for a few beats before looking to the cameraman and sliding off the chair. "All done?"
