About you!
Your Name: Kristina
Contact: Msn/email ask if you’d like it
Roleplay Experience: About 18 months
Basics:
Name: Rita Skeeter
Nicknames Ree (by her dad)
Age 17
Birthday 4th January
Year: 7
House Ravenclaw
Physical
Appearance: At 5”3’, Rita is a little on the short side but what she lacks in height she makes up for in attitude. Her frame suits her height; she’s not too thin and not to fat and is actually very proud of her shapely curves, she finds it works wonders on the opposite sex. She has medium length, platinum blond hair which is always perfectly styled into big curls. Rita will not go out in public unless her hair is perfect. She is, in all respects rather attractive. She has round, piercing blue eyes set beneath long dark eyelashes and perfectly shaped eyebrows. These hide behind one of several sets of ornate glasses which Rita uses as more of a fashion statement than to help her see, at least that’s what she tells people, however this doesn’t detract from her obvious allure. There is an air of mystery around her which many men find intoxicating, something she is well aware of and will use to her advantage. She resents the fact that she’s forced to wear uniform for most of the time and is constantly ‘customising’ it to make it more interesting. Something her tutors will never tire of berating her about. Yet, it’s all in the pursuit of good fashion and Rita will never give up the cause!

Mental
Personality: Rita is sly, cunning, vindictive, manipulative and sharp tongued; all the trademark qualities of a classic Slytherin. However, the sorting hat placed her in Ravelclaw, one assumes because of her hard working attitude and her unwavering dedication and determination to follow something through till the end. She loves gossip and has a vivacious appetite for rumours and a good scandal, she will do anything for a good story, and her forceful and domineering personality means she will always get her way. She exudes power and a sense of seasoned grace such that when she enters a room, people take notice.
She is one of those with a work hard/play hard mentality and as hard as she works at her studies she makes up for it when she’s letting her hair down for a night. She is confident, funny and flirtatious and is not afraid of showing it. She can be quite the temptress at times. She is sure of her sexuality and knows how to use it, any unsuspecting men out there be warned!
Should you stay on her good side; she is fiercely loyal and will go to great lengths to help a friend in need. There is a wild and playful side to her personality which will only come out in the company of those she is truly comfortable with. When threatened she will put up her guard and revert to being cruel and sarcastic which is why some people find it hard to like her at first. In addition, her vindictive nature means you can never be sure the lengths she would to go for revenge should you upset her! However, for most people it will never come to this. She’s generally easy going and a lot of fun to be around. Unless you get between her and her shoes that is!

Family
Parents: Heather and David Skeeter
Siblings: none
Personal History: Her parents had been married several years before Rita was born. They had always wanted a little girl and Rita had been everything they dreamed. They finally had someone to spoil and look after (she is every inch a Daddies girl) even if it did mean she ended up a little pretentious. They couldn’t help it though. They both had lucrative positions high up in the ministry and although they didn’t flaunt their wealth they denied Rita nothing that she asked for. Rita’s mother had been a Ravenclaw and her father a Slytherin and they hadn’t minded which one Rita was put in when she reached Hogwarts (although her mother secretly hoped Ravenclaw) and vowed to support whichever path she chose.
Rita had always been an inquisitive child. From an early age she would wander the garden in their estate with a notebook and a quill and would note down everything she saw; how many more tadpoles were in the pond, how many butterflies she’d seen, whether the old oak tree had any brown leaves yet, anything and everything. She’d then return for dinner and regale her parents with her findings. At Hogwarts this was a trait that stuck with her and she was eager to find out everything she could about the castle and its inhabitants, meaning she was without a doubt the one to go to if you wanted to know all the latest gossip!
Confident and quirky, Rita made both friends and enemies easily. Many of her fathers’ school friends had children of a similar age so whenever they’d get together all the children would run off and generally create havoc in whoever’s house they were. During these times she’d made some firm friends and in most cases this didn’t change when they reached Hogwarts. In her own house Rita is popular. She’s just generally fun to be around, and if you stay on her good side you’re set. However, those in other houses tend to find her arrogant and manipulative, but, if she was honest, Rita couldn’t care less!

Sample RP:
It was only a short way into the term and already Rita Skeeter had way too much homework to handle. She honestly didn’t know what had come over her as she was usually so organised when it came to juggling her work load. She could only think to blame it on the growing amount of work that was being piled on then this year dues to their N.E.W.T.’s (the fact that she’d been out almost every weekend conveniently slipped her mind.) Still, as was becoming customary this year, Rita had seated herself in a far corner of the library surrounded by an ever growing mound of books. There she sat one elbow on the desk propping up her head, her face scrunched in concentration, while she chewed one of the arms of her glasses (she wasn’t sure why but this was turning into somewhat of a habit). Her hair was elegantly piled upon her head except for one stray curl which hung loosely in her face which she was constantly moving out of the way. However, as soon as she moved even a fraction of an inch it fell stubbornly back into place.
Rita usually enjoyed her time in the library, the sights and smells, all that knowledge at her fingertips; but now she was quite frankly bored of it! She’d tried to work in the common room but it had been too noisy and she hadn’t been able to concentrate so here she was still, after what seemed like hours, trying to finish her work. But, after discarding her fourth book in search of the correct translation for her Ancient Runes homework she’d had enough.
Giving a frustrated groan she shoved her work aside and reached into her bag to find some form of distraction for half an hour or so. She’d only been reading a little while when the sound of agitated voices drifted to her ears from behind the bookcase on her left. Intrigued, Rita straightened up and pricked her ears for anything she could catch. After all, she was never one to miss out on a scandal if there was one going free! She was most aggrieved to find that the voices were too muffled for her to make out. Resolved, she placed her book face down on the table, got up and quietly padded over to the shelf to eavesdrop of the conversation…
