BACKGROUND Ariana has a a close family. They would put anything on the line to protect each other and to care for one another. Ariana, though she loves them all, has never really felt closer to anyone but to her deceased father and brother. Ariana's sister, Veronica, has always outshined her even though they are only 18 months apart. Angela, though, has always been ill so she maintained her childish innocence. Eric and Julian are the youngest, having been born just two years before her father died. When her father was still alive, she could always talk about something intelligent with either her father or her brother. Now, her eldest brother is burdened with so much that Ari wishes that she could help lighten his load. Unfortunately, Ariana has to help her mother try and ready Angela for her first season as she is soon to turn sixteen. Ari herself plans to just stay in the shadows and let her younger siblings enjoy themselves. She has no fantasies but she does have her dreams. Her past has shaped most of what she is today but she knows that she must one day discover the whole of who she is what she shall become.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Ariana has thick, curly, dark brown hair that reaches down to her waist. Her eyes are a mixture of chocolate and honey colors that slant in an exotic way. With her eyes being such, they are often filled with dark emotion and pensive thought. Ariana complexion is an even combination of a creamy white and brown sugar, giving her a rich hue. Ari is slender yet she is curved. She often places one hand on her heart as if to shield it from harm. As she does this, she has the expression of anguish and pain that comes from within, though no physical expression mars her face. The ache comes from within her eyes. Ariana is told that she is pretty but she does not consider herself so.
PERSONALITY Ariana Newbury rarely tells others about herself and her background is a bit mysterious to most. Ari often tends to take care of others when she gets to know them but she never pays attention to her own needs. She has a kind heart but also has a fierce temper. She stays loyal to those she trusts but even though others may have known her person for a time, they do not know her mind, heart or soul. She tends to go out and walk to secluded areas where she can reflect on her thoughts, enjoy the nature, to read a book, or just to be alone. Ariana loves animals and enjoys horseback- ridding. She sometimes prefers the company of her animals than to other people. Ari would never let anyone know, but she does not like showing her emotions. She will not cry in front of others, seeing as it is a weakness and shows her vulnerable side. Although she is a sensitive type, she guards herself well. She hopes to find herself as she is often confused of what choices to make. Ariana wants to find happiness but is afraid to grasp at it.
Okay, first off - welcome to the game! Second, please take a look at the other profiles in the Current Characters board to give you an idea of how long your application should be. At this time, it is simply too short. Please take a look at the word count suggestions listed in the application format post and try to stick to them.
Looks fine, though if you could pick out some names for the parents, that would be great. I've also edited your topic to include what her actual title is (Lady) instead of a description of her heritage. Application approved.

Actually, two more things - one, can you think up a new last name for Ariana? I just remembered that there is a Lady Newburry already running around and it might get confusing to have Anne, Viscountess of Newburry and Lady Ariana Newbury in the same game. Thanks!
And two, unless there were pressing circumstances, from what I can tell, Ariana would be the one making her debut and not Angela. Sixteen is a bit young to be a debutante. 17 or 18 is much more acceptable, so you might want to either change Angela's age or take that line about helping her with her debut out.
