appearance; The irises of Eden's eyes are a bright, sparkling emerald green which seem to illuminate the area around her with their intelligent shine. There is something mischievous about those luminescent orbs, as if she always knows something you don't -- it can become quite irritating. In shape they are somewhat like that of an almond, surrounded by dark lashes that naturally curl. Her brows are more straight than curved or arched, with one always seeming to be raised in an inquisitive and challenging expression.

Eden's hair is purely raven black in color, beautifully so, just like her mother's. It cascades in straight and silky smooth strands just down past her shoulders, and always seems to possess a healthy sheen. Her bangs are brushed over to the side, framing her attractive and angular face nicely. She rarely ever puts her hair up, simply because it looks just as pretty down. It is easy to manage for the most part, and tends to stay in perfect condition no matter what. Even if she shakes her whole head about like a drunken rockstar, her dark tresses still fall back into place perfectly. It drives her friends crazy.

The color of Eden's skin is a creamy tan color, a result of her African American father and Hispanic mother. It is flawless, with a blemish in sight, and is inhumanly smooth to the touch. She obsesses over taking care of her body, not because she is vain, but because she hates feeling grimy or dirty. Her jawline is very prominent, complimented by her full pink lips. The shape of her face is nice, sturdy -- or so she's been told. She possesses an exotic sort of beauty, coming from her ethnic background.

Standing at about 5'1", Eden is very petite in stature. No one in her family really has much height, but she doesn't mind. Her figure is ample and curvy in all the right places, so she is totally fine with the fact that the rest of the world towers over her. Plus, she can fit into places that no one else can. And, it helps out playing quidditch, landing her a spot as Gryffindor's seeker. As far as attire goes, Eden is very stylish. She loves clothes, and could spend hours trying on various outfits. She has no set style, for she will wear pretty much anything, with a love of variety.

personality; If anything, Eden is smart. Not book smart, per se, but more life smart, in the sense of social skills and such. She is the master of winning people over, what with her witty conversation and persuasive manner. No matter who it is, no doubt she will sway them to see her side of things. And if not, she will badger them to no end, determined to get her point across. Sometimes, she will disagree just for the sake of arguing, as debating is one of her favorite activities. It can be quite aggravating, the way that she seems to have a come-back for anything and everything. Her mind is quick, sharp, and she can make a retort faster than lightning.

Unafraid to speak her mind, Eden has never been the type to keep her thoughts to herself. If she has something to say, the she will not hesitate to voice it, despite whether one would like to hear it or not. Even if no one is listening, she will still speak, seeing as she has a way of commanding people's attention. It is almost impossible not to listen to her, even if she is getting on your last nerve. The way she say and does everything with a passion and intensity is captivating, almost hypnotic. There is a fire and spirit very evident in her, between her bright eyes and emotion-filled voice. The girl could demand the attention of an entire classroom, with just one word. And no doubt she would do it.

At times, Eden can be over-the-top competitive. She tends not to think before acting, in the heat of the moment. If challenged, she will declare herself able to take on anyone and anything, even if she truly knows it is too much. But she seems to have unwavering confidence in her every decision, and when she sets her mind on something or someone, there is no swaying her choice. She is stubborn and persistent, and will not bow down to anyone or anything. Some say such immense pride is a sin, but she scoffs at this. So what if she burns in hell for being so cocksure? At least she'll be satisfied.

Very daring, this girl is not afraid to let go. She will party hard until morning and dance until she collapses, if there's a good club around. Believing firmly in the statement "no day but today", she lives each day as if it were her last. No moment is wasted with Eden, as she is always active and running around. It seems she never has a spare moment of time, for she is always hanging out with someone or going somewhere, even on weeknights. She really is a party animal, giving the term a whole new meaning. One has to wonder, when does she sleep?

In relationships, Eden always seems to go for the guy she can't stand to be around. She finds the adrenaline rush of arguing to be extremely seducing, and has been known to have a love-hate relationship with her enemies. The witch is a master at giving a man the ring-around, even at just fifteen. She is turned off by guys who are too nice or too easy to get along with, at least in terms of romance. Preferring a challenge, she likes a guy whom she hates so much she is infatuated with. She has a twisted sense of romance, finding a long yelling match to be stimulating. Her friends all think she is nuts, but the girl can't help it.


did we create a modern myth
family members; Lee Jordon [father] and Eva [Longman] Jordon [mother]
history; It is often said that Eden inherited the fiery spirit of her father and the cunning wits of her mother -- and this is more true than they know. Eden's preference of a love relation blooming from loathing was inspired by the very courtship of her own parents. After graduating from Hogwarts, Lee Jordon traversed the world in hopes of learning of other peoples and cultures, and found himself in Spain. There he met a very intelligent and spicy Spanish muggle woman, named Eva. They met at a celebration of Santiago Apostol (St. James) in Barcelona, and sparks flew the moment their eyes -- his a dark brown and hers a bright emerald, much like Eden's -- met.

They were constantly fighting, debating and shooting their opinions at each other. Everyone knew that they were in love with each other, however, just from the sexual tension that emanated from both of them every time they were together. Though they each ranted and raved about their absolute hatred for one another, it was plain to see that they enjoyed the adrenaline, and that there was something deeper there, hidden beneath the never-ending bickering.

Finally, one day when they were having an especially heated fight -- which so happened to be about Lee being a wizard -- they kissed beneath the shelter of a tree. It was then that they were truly stunned by the depth of the feelings they had for one another, and were married by the Mediterranean Sea merely a week later. Meanwhile, after the newly weds honeymoon, Lee's family members were begging for him to come home to London. However, he didn't want to force Eva to leave her home country and family, and found himself in a difficult spot. However, one day, Eva found one of the letters from Lee's family, while they were living in their flat in Spain. She read the desperate pleading of his parents for their son to return, and confronted Lee, saying that she would go back to London with him if he just said the word. Besides, she wanted to see more of the world.

Lee's love for Eva only intensified after that moment, and he whisked her off to England as soon as possible. They moved into a fair-sized apartment in London, perfect for just the two of them. Lee attained a job at a nearby pub, while Eva worked for the local newspaper. Lee's family was overjoyed to see him and their daughter-in-law. They remained in England for about five years, traveling to Spain to visit the Longmans every few months.

It was then that Eva discovered that she was two months pregnant, and the two were immensely excited to find they were going to bring a child into the world. Eva attended a doctor regularly for routine check-ups, with the loving support of her husband, though the two decided to wait to be surprised as to what gender their baby would be. Lee seemed convinced that it was a girl, oddly enough, while Eva claimed she could feel a son inside of her belly. It just gave them something more to lovingly bicker about.

Finally, on the morning of August 19, 2007, Eva gave birth to a little tan-skinned baby girl with eyes bright and green with raven-black hair. She was christened Eden Rania Jordon, and the most beautiful baby in the universe. They loved and cherised her to no end, spoiling the baby shamelessly. She proved to be quite an adventurous little girl, always getting into some sort of trouble. The child had the most enchanting smile, with eyes that seemed to regard the world as a huge playground.

By the time Eden was five, she began to show signs of magical ability. She was always making things appear in her hands, like candy and sweets, and she also turned on the TV constantly without even touching the remote. Lee was overjoyed, and Eva intrigued. They put her through muggle school through elementary, until she received her Hogwarts letter. Her parents shipped her off with love, support, supplies, and cookies.

A very excited and curious eleven year-old Eden boarded the Hogwarts Express with a desire to see, hear, touch, taste and feel all that was the magical world. She was not disappointed, fascinated by the school castle and magic in general. Much to her father's pride, she was placed in Gryffindor, and became quite popular amongst her peers, what with her passionate, spirited manner. She also joined the Quidditch team in her second year, and fell in love with the sport. Now in her fifth year, Eden still remains thankful for her magical gift and regards each day at Hogwarts as a present in itself.


stand out on the edge of the earth
RP sample; Why am I out here? It was a question that anyone who was traipsing outdoors in a foot of snow and below zero temperatures was liable to ask themselves, and so Rina did. Though she wasn't exactly regretting the decision, or scorning herself. More simply curious as to what had possessed her to do such a thing, on such a brutal afternoon. To prevent her entire, petite little body from freezing into an ice cube, she had cast a warmth charm about her figure, so that she was content even in the frigid air. Though it did not protect her from the biting, whipping wind, which turned the very tip of her small, elegant nose a rosy shade, along with her cheeks.

Striding down the road, she was still clad in her Ministry uniform as she had just gotten off from her shift surprisingly early, though it was concealed by a heavy, fashionable cloak. Her silky blonde locks were restrained in a perfectly executed french braid, though a few strands had still somehow managed to escape and tickled her fair face. Rina watched as her steady breathing issued in small white puffs, blinking the snowflakes from settling on her long, dark lashes.

She was in a thoughtful mood on this particular day, pondering over her childhood. The recent death of her mother had something to do with the revisitation of her days as a kid, surely, though on the other hand she felt even the slightest bit nostalgic. Not that her earlier days had been anything noteworthy, for she had been a spoiled brat, but with looking back she didn't feel so alone. With both parents gone and no siblings, Rina felt surprisingly alone, though she'd never been close to her mum or dad.

Suddenly, she was awoken from her quiet musings, when she heard the crunching of snow nearby. Glancing around her, she was surprised to find herself within a set of woods, for she hadn't even been taking notice of where her feet led her. Rina headed toward a clearing up ahead, nearing a tall figure at a leisurely pace, not wary but still very aware of her surroundings. She took a step through the trees and into the small clear area, looking up at the wizard before her, who was well-dressed and distinguished-looking, other than for the fact he was spinning in a circle. A smile touched her lips, and she couldn't help but laugh a bit. "Enjoying yourself?" She inquired in a friendly tone. It was obvious she was not being threatening, though what the man most likely wouldn't think was that she could more than protect herself if necessary.
