Name: Dawne Jiang
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Grade: 12
School: Bayview Secondary School
Hobbies and Interests: Philosophy, Psychology, Anime, Manga, Cosplay, Creating costumes.

Appearance: Dawne stands 5'6", and weighs about 135 lbs. Her hair is naturally black, but she has bleached it, with green and red streaks. It goes just past her shoulders, and is always let down. Her bangs are cut shorter than the rest of her hair, coming down to about eye level. She usually keeps this hair tucked behind her ears, but occasionally it was fall out in front of her face, causing her to having a bad habit of fidgeting with her hair.

Being of a mixed race, she takes characteristics from both her parents. She takes more after her father, although her eyes are from her mother. As such, her eyes look large on her face, and are a baby blue colour.

Dawne's clothing of choice at school is fairly normal, favouring t-shirts and cargo pants, although she'll wear the occasional skirt or pair of shorts. Colours vary, being anywhere from dark colours such as blues and black, to bright colours like yellows and oranges, and everything in between.

Biography: Dawne Jiang was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, the child of a Chinese father and a Swedish mother. Her father worked in construction, while her mother worked for a catering company she would eventually take over when the former owner retired. Dawne's childhood wasn't anything special. Her parents were strict, but allowed her more and more leeway as she grew older.

Growing up, Dawne loved her Saturday cartoons, and it was through these that she would eventually be exposed to anime. When she was about 8 or 9 years old, many animes were being imported to North America: Pokemon, Digimon, Sailor Moon, Card Captor Sakura, just to name a few. Dawne absolutely loved these shows, and as she got older, this didn't change. She started finding other shows, first ones that had been dubbed in English, then eventually finding subtitled Japanese versions. From here she went onto manga.

Dawne would go to her first anime convention when she was 14, and after seeing all the people dressed as their favorite characters, spent time over the next year creating one of her own. The costume was admittedly horrible, but at the time Dawne was just proud that she made the costume without any help, and over the years, the quality of her work has steadily increased.

Upon entering High School, her parents were kind enough to not push her into anything she didn't want to do, and thus she was able to take courses that interested her. She was very interested in the mind, and so she ended up taking both philosophy and psychology, and loves them both equally. Her grades in those two subjects are always her best, usually in the mid 80's, while the rest of her grades are in the low to mid 70's. Over time, she has begun to develop the ability to determine a person's mood and sometimes even the actions they're about to take based on body language and facial expressions, something that can occasionally get her into trouble when she calls someone on it.

Dawne can talk with people very easily, but has a tendency to over-analyze them, possible estranging people she meets, who may not like being analyzed as such, and since Dawne likes to speak whatever is on her mind, this can be a problem. The ones who make it past this initial meeting will find she is fiercely loyal, and will defend them at a moment's notice. Her particular group of friends are mostly other anime fans, and often hangs out with them, though she doesn't mind talking with people outside of her "clique"

Personality wise, at first glance she will just seem like a typical anime nerd, and will often be very animated when speaking, moving her arms around willy nilly. Upon getting to know her however, you will find a deeply intelligent young woman who is always willing to engage in debates on almost any topic. She also is very loyal to her friends, and this is admittedly a trait she picked up from the various animes she has watched, where the central themes was always about sticking by your friends no matter the odds.

Advantages: Because Dawne is able to interpret body language, she can often predict what someone is going to say or do before they do it.
Disadvantages: Dawne is by no stretch of the imagination a fighter, although she will put herself in harms way for friends. At the same time, her tendency to over-analyze people she meets has driven some of them away, and has no doubt made some enemies over time.

Hi Rocky! Dawne's profile looks very good! She's temporarily DENIED pending a very minor adjustment.

Basically, I'd just like to see a tiny bit more about Dawne's personality. Right now I can tell that she's very interested in people, and talks with them easily, though she may alienate them sometimes, and that she's loyal, but I don't really understand why. I'd like you to flesh out the loyalty a touch, and maybe add a bit to her personality in general.

Also, I'd like to know a little more about her friends. Does she hang out with a certain crowd? Does she have friends from every social circle?

Post once you've taken care of that, and I'll give her another look. Thanks a ton!

Cool. Thanks for the edits. Dawne is APPROVED.

I feel like I should just put in a note to not get carried away with Dawne's predictive skills, and to avoid godmodding and such. I know you'll keep it realistic.
