Appearance:
Pilar is fairly small, standing at about five feet and weighing about 110 lbs. She has soft shoulder length strawberry blonde hair that she usually styles it so that it flips outwards at the very bottom. Her looks are overall average. She has a round face, large golden brown eyes, and a rather “cute, perky” look about her. She doesn’t spend much time in direct sunlight, however she doesn’t burn easily, nor is she very pale. She has a nice healthy complexion and no freckles.
Her style is whatever she wants it to be. One day she could be wearing all black baggy clothes and heavy dark eyeliner, and the next day she might be wearing a powder pink sundress. She wears what fits her mood at the time, and sometimes she’ll change her outfit in the middle of the day because she doesn’t feel like wearing what she’s wearing anymore.
As far as accessories go, there’s one thing that remains constant regardless of her outfit. Over her left eye she wears a string type medical eye patch for no reason at all. Once when she was asked why, she told the person that it looked cool. She doesn’t wear said eye patch to Hogwarts for various reasons, mostly because she requires her depth perception to properly navigate the halls and corridors without falling over anything (or anyone.) She has two earrings in each ear, both on the lobes, and often picks out rather loud and attention drawing earrings and other jewelry to help her “stand out” in a more subtle way.
Personality:
Pilar is contradiction at it’s finest. She wants to be noticed and thought of as different, but at the same time, she doesn’t want to draw too much attention to herself. She is a rambunctious young girl who rarely knows when to keep her mouth shut for her own good, and more importantly, the good (and pride) of others. She often thinks she’s stronger than she really is and tries to act tough because of it. She’s often very loud and can come off as obnoxious at times. She’s not very good at respecting authority (or anyone for that matter) when she doesn’t feel like it. She tends to wear her heart on her sleeve and show her emotions plainly as though they’re written on her face.
She tries to mask her emotions like she sees the people around her do, but she can’t seem to manage for very long no matter how hard she tries. She wants to come off as gruff and angry, but she can’t help but smile sometimes when there’s something worth smiling at, even if she doesn’t want to. She’s brash and often unpredictable simply because she changes her mind so often. She’s also strong willed and a little stubborn at times (usually the worst times). She likes to believe that she’s far from complex, hey, maybe she isn’t. Maybe she’s just a brave idiot who will get herself into too much trouble some day.
She’s very close to her twelve-year-old half-brother, Ben. She’s generally overprotective of him, and it tends to get on his nerves. She often tells him that she acts the way she does because she loves him, but it’s deeper than that. They both know that she’s afraid to lose him like she lost her best friends.

Character history:
All in all, Pilar’s history is about as average as her lineage. There’s a little bit of family drama concerning her easily bored father, but all in all nothing of much importance comes up. Her mother, Julieta De la Fuente (maiden name), was a lovely blonde Spanish half-blood witch and, her father, Caine Thompson; a muggle-born wizard, were only married for two years before they got into a terrible fight and divorced. Julieta took Pilar with her when they separated. Caine married another woman, a muggle (Ben’s mother), who, upon learning five years later, that Caine and her son were both wizards, left them both and wasn’t heard from again. Julieta and Caine met again one day and fell in love all over again. They remarried and Pilar met her half-brother Benjamin. Eight-year-old Pilar and six-year-old Ben got along well at first sight, and the two became quickly close.
Pilar had two friends: Coprea and Cloy. An unusual trio they made, Pilar often referred to herself as “the brains of the operation” even though Coprea was the far cleverer one. Often, they would go on “adventures” in the nearby woods, and often let Ben and his friends tag along.
A month before her thirteenth birthday, Coprea, Cloy, and Coprea’s twin sister, Kastae were reported missing were reported missing. Pilar is still convinced that their disappearance is Kastae’s fault. She promised herself that when she’s able to hold her own she’ll try and rescue her friends and maybe Kastae as well. For now, though, she’ll attend school and learn what she can. She’ll protect her brother and his friends from anything she can and get stronger.
Role play Sample:
{Originally, Pilar is a character from another universe completely, in which she’s older and a little more angst ridden. Here’s some of that Pilar.}
Pilar sits quietly in a corner pretending to read. Coprea and Cloy sit to her right discussing something. It’s rather eerie, Pilar thinks, the way Cloy doesn’t speak, but if he wants to be understood, you can understand him. It’s even more eerie when he doesn’t want you to hear him so you don’t, but the person next to you does, and responds as though it were a normal conversation. She was used to it by now, but it was still a little creepy.
Pilar leans away from her friends to better listen to the conversation going on between the Ben’s sophomore friends. They’re discussing the recent drama going on, and she needs to know what it is. Ben won’t tell her anything, and whether he believes her or not, she’s worried about him. She knows that Ben’s friend Ash recently lost his mind and killed one of Asahi’s friends. She figures it’s the shape shifter was the unfortunate one, since she’s not there being her usual clueless self. For God’s sake, he also killed Ben’s cousin, Kaze and the Princess! They’re talking about a trial that Ben is saying ‘isn’t right.’ This is ridiculous. She stands and walks over to the table.
“What the hell isn’t right about it?” she demands, pounding her hand on the lower classmen’s table. “The guy killed a girl. He almost killed the three of you too.” She glares at Ben’s friend Psych. “He’s a murderer,” she says coldly looking down her nose at the boys she knew so well, silently still mourning the one who should have been there. The one who always called her ‘eyepatch’ almost fondly.
Ben stands and looks angrier than the day she mocked his mother in front of his friends, and also some of Asahi’s gang. Pilar’s eyebrows raise more. He already knows that he couldn’t take her in a million years, why does he try to stand up to her?
“Shut your mouth,” he snaps acidly, and Pilar almost grins. “Don’t you dare talk about Ash like that.”
“He killed Kaze, and Asahi’s little shape-shifting friend,” the strawberry blond snaps back. “And he killed dozens of other people. He killed the Princess, Benjamin. And you’re saying that he doesn’t deserve to die? You’re saying he’s not completely insane?”
“No,” Ben answers firmly. “I don’t. I think he was framed. That he didn’t kill Kaze... I think that someone else did.”
“What about those others?” She asks quietly. “Minako’s friend... The princess? What about them? We know he killed them. You saw him kill Hera. You saw it.”
Ben shakes his head, and she thinks he’s maybe about to cry. “I... don’t think he was himself. Ash wouldn’t do that. Ash was always the good guy. He was always telling us not to be troublemakers. The Ash I know...” He looks to his half-sister now, pleadingly. “Pilar, help us figure out what happened. You’re good with things like that...” He hesitates for a moment before finishing, “please?”
She sighs, and steps forward to ruffle her brother’s hair. “Only for you,” she says quietly. “Only for you.”
Random stuff:
None that I can think of, thus far.
{It's a bit of a habit for me to write in present tense, if that needs to be changed, let me know.}
