Adeline, as mentioned before, is an absolute perfectionist. She always has been in everything--music, grades, athletics. After graduating as valedictorian and receiving plenty of music and academic colleges, she settled on coming here, to this prestigious university. She made her oboe debut at age 15 when she won a concerto contest and got to play for the Philadelphia Philharmonic. Even professionals will buy the oboe reeds she makes, since they are, by all standards, PERFECT!

She can be outgoing and friendly, but isn't a party goer. She has always been classified as a nerd, but not of the social outcast kind. She is simply a serious student.

She has friends, but not close ones. She spends more time practicing, composing, and studying than in her own social life. Adeline likes it this way. Ever since her former best friend she's never gotten too close to anyone. However, she must have inspiration to play music, so she frequently goes on walks around the campus. This gal, being from a rich family, travels quite a bit to Europe. She is in her father's Parisian home every summer and Christmas. During other breaks, she is elsewhere in Europe. This European culture has a large effect on her lifestyle. She likes to hold her head high like an elegant lady.


Strengths: Musical talent (of course), Patience, Perfecting things, being calm, taking constructive criticism

Weaknesses: Can be selfish, not having close friends, overly-ambitious, can pull off a snobbish act although not usually, gets down on herself for "not being good enough" which comes with the natural perfectionist attitude

She herself has lived quite a stressful yet extravagant life. She inherited all musical genes from her mother, who was a soprano opera singer who died when Adeline was 6. Her father is a well-to-do businessman who opened up a foreign cheese importing business. He was a cheese connoisseur, and Adeline has more information on cheeses that she ever wanted to know. Her father wanted her to take on the business, but her blood did not run in that direction. Her ardor was for music.

Let's go back in time for a few minutes. In middle school, she formed a best friend, Leanna. Leanna was just as musical as Adeline is, as she was a piano prodigy. What happened? Well, into high school, Leanna hung with the wrong people and started herself on drugs. She lost her scholarship to this same college because of this. Adeline tried to help Leanna to no avail. Adeline felt as if she were her keeper! Whenever Leanna was sick or in trouble, Adeline always felt like it was her duty to come to the rescue. One day, Leanna was so down, she hung herself. That is the reason Adeline is wary of close friends--all because of Leanna.

Adeline has never really had much of a love life. She'll say a guy is hot or cute, but has never actually liked one. She fell in love with music and nothing else.

Adeline has dark blond hair that seems to appear gold in the light and looks brown in shadow. She has mahogany colored eyes that light up only when she is playing, listening to, or composing music. Her skin is olive colored, and is prone to acne at times, yet her French skin products work dang well....

Her build is average, I guess. She is neither under nor over her size's weight intervals. She is not very tall, but isn't a midget either.

Adeline through her books down as soon as she entered the dorm. She had not played well in class on her first day. Some impression she made! Her professor's eyes had widened in shock as soon as the freshman prodigy began to play. After giving herself another face palm, Adeline lay on the bed, tears streaming down her face.

When you fall, the best thing to do is rise again, she thought to herself as she pulled out her oboe and put in a few reeds to soak. She analyzed the events of that day.

Before the class, there was someone else, a student who was an art major who was passing through the music building to remain in air conditioning. He had heard Adeline in a practice room and commented on her lovely playing. He had asked her if he could paint something, something inspired by music.

Oh, well, what did he know? He was not a musician!

Adeline sucked in a strong, fast breath before putting the reed to her lips. "Tweet!" it sang. It had been soaked long enough. She fixed it within the reed tube of the oboe and sucked in another breath. The next fact she realized, she was playing a note.... then another, then another.

She closed her eyes. Adeline had this Bach aria memorized, and therefore played with her imagination running wild. Expressionism was the word. If anyone had heard her, they would sense her thoughts, and float through them with her. Her vibrato rang through her dorm walls before she next glanced at her phone.

Adeline gasped. "I'm late for Algebra!"

Hello and welcome to MM!

First of all, the application requires three icons that are 100 x 100. Ideally, they would be of the same person, aka your pb. If you're having troubles finding both icons and a pb, I suggest www.hollow-art.com :].

Next, your personality doesn't really say much about your character. The first paragraph, in fact, has nothing to do with personality and would be much better suited for history. All the information that isn't directly related to what she is like should be in the history, such as spending time in Europe and whatnot. You can definitely mention it in passing, but it shouldn't be a main focus. In general, try to think about exactly who Adeline is and maybe make a list and go from there. Her strengths and weaknesses seem fine, but make sure that she has weaknesses that are actually weaknesses and not just strengths disguised as weaknesses, like "too optimistic."

Her history needs to be much more thorough. I don't really get much of a picture of Adeline at all from it. Try, again, making a list and going from there. That should help organize your thoughts and make her more thorough.

If you are at a loss for what to do, I suggest looking through some of the completed applications. You certainly don't need to make yours quite as long as some of them, but they might be a good starting point. I'm excited to see what you come up with!
