the inside
Personality ; Myla is your perfectionist channeling from cloud nine. Myla is happy with her life, who's in it, where she is, and everything around it. There are some stupid little buggers that have affected her, but she's shaken it off easily so far and is determined to follow her pursuit of happiness. In being a perfectionist, she needs to make sure everything in her world is right. Her grades, her clothes, her hair. Myla isn't the particularly smart type, but she does get good grades because she tries hard and she earns them. She gets panic attacks when she's coming close to the deadline on a project or essay, she tries so hard to make it right that sometimes it just takes forever and she gets stressed out. The feeling she gets when it's all done pleases her and it all goes away, and she's full of bliss once more. If something else is stressing her out, like friend issues, she turns to music.
Myla is shy and likes to have a close-knit group of friends. She's not the kind of person to go out and talk to someone new for no apparent reason. If you come talk to her, she'll keep a conversation going, but don't expect her to approach you unless she's feeling out landish. Myla is the 'judging-the-person-by-their-cover' type. She'll get to know you, but she'll have her opinion about you the moment she sees you. If she thinks you're a jerk, she'll think that until you prove it otherwise. Same with other personalities, sweet, arrogant, perfect, annoying, or any vibe you give off that she receives. Myla's the type to crush hard on a guy, but will never tell a soul, which doesn't work out very well. If anyone asks who she likes, she just says no one, for the simple reason she's afraid she could die of embarrassment and some of the fellows she's liked are like her brothers.
Music is a major part of Myla's life. She's played piano since she was 6 [8.5 years], started guitar when she was 8, and started violin when she was 10, a year before Hogwarts. She continued to play whilst juggling life at Hogwarts, it was difficult to find a time and place of serene quiet though. Eventually she found a convenient empty classroom where she would go and play her heart out. It would relieve stress and change her mood. She would forget everything else in the world. If she played or wrote happy music, it made her feel happier. If she played slow, dreary music, she would start to tear up and feel it in her heart. Myla really connects with her inner self when her fingers touch the keys, her hand grasps the bow or when her thumb strums the strings.
Her flaws you may ask? She gets jealous easy. About anything. Even the smallest things. You have a cooler quill than her? She'll envy you. I don't know if you count this as a flaw, but she's not too sporty. She's not fat, she exercises and everything, but she isn't too big on sports themselves. She's not really a fan of Quidditch, and doesn't really pay attention to anything about other muggle sports, but she'll play for fun with her friends. If you ask Myla about a fact though, she won't give you an answer because she doesn't know. Myla's biased and stays true to wherever she stands. She's willing to accept her way, and her way only, unless she's convinced, which takes quite an effort.

History ; Myla grew up with her family of M's in a country cottage, where she thought, was the middle of no where. She was raised as a muggle, but she knew she was special, along with her two younger siblings. Her dad discreetly used magic when he needed to, but the children never noticed, until one day, Myla accidentally broke her mother's favorite lamp when she was 8. Myla sat in the corner in tears because she could do nothing to fix it. Her father comforted her, then revealed magic to her, immediately fixing the lamp. He told her knowing about magic was a big responsibility, and it won't always be a way out of things. More questions appeared, and soon the whole family knew about it. Myla was told about Hogwarts and was very eager to go and learn magic, but it would be a new experience to her being around so many people, since she was really only around them once a year for family reunions, which was one reason why she is so shy. She didn't want to meet new people. Myla convinced herself the day of the train to go more out there, and make some friends. Her siblings wouldn't be around, who would she talk to? She really, really didn't want to be the loner loser. Myla was sorted in to Ravenclaw, and became close to her roommates, and those who she saw most often after classes. Over the summer, she would miss her friends dearly, but wouldn't mind because she had her siblings and her music to keep her company. Her first kiss&boyfriend came from Ace, but their relationship lasted 3 months.
Roleplay Example ; Myla pulled out her violin from its case and set up her music and placed the bow on the strings. She started playing quietly, then slowly got louder as the piece got more moving. She felt so peaceful as she read the black notes on the white sheets and translated it to her fingers. Myla heard the door crack open and she froze on the note. An interruption? Really? Great. ... Get over it Myla and just see who it is first. She turned to look over her shoulder to see who it was. Who was it? The one and only...
