HP R7 Gallery - http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=336261.msg3889782#msg3889782




Do you ever wish you had magical powers like Harry or Hermione? Does studying at Hogwarts sound intriguing? Would you show that Rita Skeeter or Dolores Umbridge what for?

Then this swap is for you!

We are adding a bit of twist to this round. You have the option of creating and swapping in RPG format. You would create your own HPotter character and then, communicate and create through their eyes. However, you do not have to participate in the RPG to be in this swap.

If you are not participating in the RPG aspect of this swap but have an RPG partner, here are some ideas as to how you can be involved:

-Write your packing letter in your package to your RPG partner as if you were a student at Hogwarts.

-Think about how their particular character would view certain things like other houses, Snape, or even He Who Shall Not Be Named when crafting. Can you work a little something extra in to make it more personalized?

- Wrap your goodies in house colors.

Feel free to PM me if you need more ideas. I'm pretty good at coming up with creative stuff.

[DizzerSpinninRound]

Age: 20
zodiac sign: cancer

Appearance:
Andraïa is a really small witch, 4”10. She has pers eyes that goes from green to brown, a round face with freckles on her round nose and a good amount of long, brown curly hair attached to her head. She also doesn't hesitate to turn them black or red when she feels like it. She is curvious but might have 5lbs “in plus”... more to love! She has pink lips and huge round ears.

Personality in 3-4 lines:
Andraïa will stand for herself and the one she loves. She won't be scared to bend the rule or follow them if it gives her what she wants. She is gentle and reposed but she doesn't keep to herself. She enjoy gross jokes and swearing for no apparent reason. She also loves to learn and perfectionate herself in her many interests and crafts. She sometimes is full of energy to be the very next moment zombie-like. She daydreams a lot, but don't be fooled; she notices everything and has a really good memory. She tends to be anxious, but she's slowly "recovering" from that.
