"Ladies don't start fights, but they can finish them!"- Marie, The Aristocats
NAME:Anamarie Rhea Aristo NICKNAMES: Marie AGE: 19 BIRTHDAY: August Twelfth ORIENTATION: Straight NATIONALITY: French OCCUPATION: Nightclub singer at O'Malley's, College Sophomore PLAYED BY: Megan Fox (or is it Green now?) DISNEY: Marie, The Aristocats USER GROUP: Childlike or Royalty (whoever accepts [if I'm accepted] can pick- I couldn't decide)
PERSONALITY !
DEMANDING Marie grew up waited on hand and foot. This led her to be a little well...demanding. Being the only girl in the household, Marie often was defending herself against her brothers, and that made for some difficulty. However, most of the time she got her way, which didn't help the trait. With the demands does come proper please's and thank you's though, as Mother always told her children to be polite. So, while demanding as she may be, Marie is grateful.
HIGH MAINTENANCE Marie expects to be treated well. She is always lavishly dressed, and well adorned in jewels. Boys beware: Beautiful, but deadly to the pocketbook. Having grown up in a household with money, Marie knows little else. While her new father tried to instill a slight touch of modesty and practicality, nothing really hit home, and Marie continued to want the expensive lifestyle she'd always had.
HOPELESS ROMANTIC Even with her two extreme flaws, Marie hopes that one day a man will come in and sweep her off her feet. She often sings of love, watches old fashioned movies about love, and reads love poetry. It happened to her mother- who says it can't happen to her? This often leaves her feeling lonely, and she beats herself up for not being good enough for a good guy- even though she can get guys. The problem lies in holding onto their hearts.
QUIRKS: She is very bossy, but cares very much about the people close to her- even with the show she puts on. She's also rather artistic; for a person who is afraid to get her hands dirty.
LIKES: Jazz music, singing, primping, cats, jewels, designer clothes, smashing shoes, outrageous parties, poetry, and romance.
DISLIKES: Brothers, thunderstorms, butlers, the outdoors, swimming, laziness, getting lost, greed, liars, trains.
HISTORY !
When Anamaria was born, it was a year after her eldest brother. Immediately, everyone knew she would be different. She was her mother's first girl, and thus she was spoiled a bit. Her mother was single, and each child was had by an unknown father (although ladylike, mom wasn't very prude). Luckily she had a large inheritance earned after her parents passed on and therefore the children were all treated with lavish affection. Shortly after Marie was born, her mother brought another brother into the picture. The three were all raised in a royal and rich fashion, and brought up as ladies and gentlemen.
Being raised in an aristocratic household meant that the children all had very high thoughts of themselves. However, their mother still tried to instill good behavior in them, so they did end up quite polite, even though they were spoiled.
Even though Marie enjoyed being "waited on," she was not fond of hired help. Marie was very much her mother's child, and very attention deprived. Once, when Mum tried to hire a butler, he tried to steal valuables from the family, and Anamarie has never trusted another person hired.
Soon, their mother met someone. He was different from the other men their mother had dated and had a way with words. He was suave and not as presumptuous (or as wealthy) as the men their mother was commonly seen with. Marie loves seeing her mother happy, and wishes that someday someone could come in and sweep her off her feet in the same fashion.
The family began in France, but when Marie was 18, she decided to go to college at Thomas in Fantasia City- so she packed up her things (not an easy task mind you) and headed out, seeking a new life. So far, things have gone well. Marie has a bit of a reputation, but she tries to avoid it. She loves culture and the arts and enjoys her evening job at O'Malley's.
SAMPLE !
It was just one of those nights. One of those nights where she could sing her soul out, but the only things listening were the barstools, a few tables, and the two waiters on staff on a Wednesday night. Marie loved singing at O'Malley's, but nights like these just sent her into a slump.
"I don't know why you guys pay me for this," she said into the mic- hoping her boss was in earshot. Weeknights usually were slow: students were in studying, couples were just getting home for work, tired, and not wanting to put in the effort of going out. It was a sad thing- but it was what Marie signed up for. She did it for love.
Tonight was a rare night when Marie left class without a single shred of homework. A night she would gladly work overtime, help with open-mic, or even help the doorman….who was currently drowsing in the corner near the door. But, alas, no customers were in the club, and thus, no one needed help with any of their work.
"Seriously, I can go if you want me to," Marie said again, still hoping there was a chance her boss was in range of the speakers. She turned to the band members behind her: Louis on Trumpet, Steve on Bass, and Kenny on Piano. They were her faithful crew, and the four loved jazz like no other. "Guys, what do you think?"
They all shrugged, "Up to you, Missy," one said. Just as Marie was about to hop off the front of the stage, a few people trickled in. Three boys, to be exact. They seemed a bit wobbly, Marie guessed they were either in the wrong place, or here for the wrong reasons. She stayed on stage, and watched them before making a move. They casually slipped into a table two rows from the front of the stage.
"Hey hot stuff- sing us a song!" One yelled. Marie rolled her eyes. Men- wait- boys. They always acted this way. But, Marie had to do her job; and she planned on giving these boys a bit more than just a song.
"Feeling good," she said decisively to the men behind her. "You got it sister," said Louis.
The boys catcalled through the first couple lines, when Marie really got into the song, they quieted, entranced.
"…and I'm feeling…good…"
The band kicked in and the boys almost fell out of their chairs. Not one of their eyes left the stage, and the dame whose heels rested upon it.
When she finished the song, she sent one wink into the crowd of three, and they went wild. They all stood, as if completely sobered by the performance, and cheered. Marie smiled gratefully, and bowed her head. "Come back again sometime, boys," was all she said.

Alright, a few things.
Your personality paragraphs are far too short and give no detail on why she is these things, or how she came about having these traits. If you need more of an idea on what to do, check some of the accepted applications.
Your history plays into a lot of the movie. You name Thomas O'Malley, all her siblings and her mother. And as long as you don't expect the people who might come to take these characters to come along with your plot, that's okay, but I would change Thomas' name. You're not leaving any room for these plots to play out. You don't have to use the movie history event by event.
I also almost think it's too dramatic. He drugged them and tried to have his way with them? Where was their mother? Also, where'd their mother's inheritance come from? How did she have children if she was single? (not that she had to be married to do so). You give no real background.
Also, your sample needs to be a roleplay sample. Yours reads more like a story and is, in fact, in first person.
As this stands, I can't accept it. But I am going to give you the option to work on it, if you so wish.

It is much better, but I think I need a second opinion, so I'm gonna ask if a mod or Nikki will read this.
