OC Application; Declined
We're sorry, but we had some problems with your character and as such won't be accepting her at the time. There's an explanation under the cut and if you have any questions about it you can come and talk to us.
First of all, it's obvious from Turnball that human-fairy relationships are fairly taboo. It's not something that happens often. Even Artemis' family, who had been capturing and studying fairies for centuries, didn't have any fairy blood in him. That's why we'd require a pretty good explanation as to why your character would have fairy ancestry and why she is able to do magic when it's so far back. I'm guessing that it's because she's in Ireland? If that is the case, it wouldn't really trigger anything within her DNA because, according to science, dormant DNA would stay dormant and fairies don't live only in Ireland.
I'm also confused as to why, if she is a retail worker at a grocery, why she would be working on the Fowl Estate. The Fowl's don't seem to have many employees in the first place, so it's something that I'd like to be explained more.
If you still want to, you can fix some things or talk to us about it and resubmit the application whenever you want. Or submit one for a different character. We're sorry but we'd just like a bit more explanation on these things.
apologies for the password mistake the first time!! i just have a terrible memory and had filled this at five in the morning. thanks. ;v;
Original Character
OOC Information

Time Zone: EST
Password: ***
IC Information
Character Name: Sara Reynolds
Age: 23
FC: Sierra Love (for any reaction gifs)
Species(human, fairy, elf, etc): Human, fairy ancestry a couple centuries back
Character’s Birthday: March 5
Bio/Personality (2 para minimum): Sara’s general appearance is dark brown hair, fair skin and oodles of freckles on her face, shoulders and anywhere else exposed to sun. Tanning is not an easy task for the poor girl. She tends to be light hearted and shy to the point of awkwardness. While Sara has anxiety being around lots of people she does her best to push through her fears and makes friends in her new home. As an American who recently moved to Ireland there’s some culture shock and mild disappointment as she had romanticized the isle in her childhood, her reality is a mediocre retail job and an apartment the size of a shoe box. One perk of her job is that she gets to work on some of the plots located on the Fowl estate, which she has admired greatly! One day Sara hopes to meet the people that live there, surely they’d be interesting!
Despite initial misgivings Sara has gained a small group of companions and tries to maintain her relationships by frequently going out with those people. At times she can come off as clingy in her eagerness to socialize and not go unnoticed. Having ADHD, Sara can act pretty flaky and silly at times without meaning to but she hopes that it won’t be held against her! It also leads to her vivid imagination which may or may not be a dangerous thing. If you want to get Sara’s attention the best way is to talk straight forward and bluntly, she appreciates it.
Ever since Sara moved to Ireland she’s noticed strange things happening. Sometimes if she really focuses on things they seem to shift, like something is moving the object. When she talks to people and really, really wants to convince them of something there’s a funny tugging and pushing feeling in her diaphragm and the person may start to get a glazed look in their eyes. It’s happened enough times that Sara is kind of freaked out. Her dreams of flying have gotten more vivid, she keeps feeling like something’s watching her when no one’s in the room… Why is this happening now? Maybe she’s just subconsciously trying to convince herself to go back to Ohio. Or perhaps it’s something she’d never thought possible.
Job(if any): Retail worker at the local co-op grocery. Her dream(s): Owning a vegan café (just to prove it’d be successful), or doing something actually cool with that Environmental Studies degree she spent four years getting.
Para Sample(2 para minimum, in character): The earth seemed to shudder as Sara dug her toes into the damp, freshly tilled dirt. Maybe it was really Sara that had shuddered, the ground was surprisingly cold. It was the dead of summer and the work day had ended so most of the people tending plots were gone. It wasn’t so weird putting your feet in the ground anyways! Plenty of people did it and there were worse things th-.
Okay, off topic. Sara wasn’t here to argue with herself. She breathed deeply and closed her eyes to will away the many thoughts that buzzed in her head for attention. Her ears slowly tuned out outside noise as she imagined ocean waves gently lapping at her. Better. The sensation of something slimy moving across Sara’s left foot brought her back to the present, probably a worm. Sara resisted the urge to pull away and dug in deeper. Her feet were wet and cold now but it was oddly satisfying. It felt right being here. Exactly here on the Fowl estate with its rich and moist soil, at this moment. As if everything before had been specifically engineered to bring Sara to this spot. It was right and it was good. That was enough. As her toes sank in Sara slowly brought her arms up, up, up until they were directly above her. She clenched her fists and released, fingers splaying out as if to grab a hold of the wisps of cool air. That wasn’t entirely off, in Sara’s mind her fingers were extending further than her body. She pictured her soul stretching, ever stretching as if trying to break free from her mortal frame. It was those dreams she had, the ones where she was finally able to fly after trying so hard. She lifted off the ground and was skimming the clouds, fingers brushing over condensed water particles. Those were the brightest and most serene dreams. They were loud and cluttered like others she had. It was comforting and Sara didn’t understand why.
At this very moment the earth completely stopped for Sara. The air felt heavy and confining and gravity pressed on her body. It wasn’t fair, it was like something precious had been taken from her yet she had never had the chance to know what she lost. Minutes passed and her arms began feeling heavy, so Sara slowly lowered them back down to her sides and took another breath. At least she felt calmer. When her eyes opened the young women felt a prickle on the side of her neck and she turned in the direction. Funny, it constantly felt like someone was there. It was just in the corner of her eye, a brief flash or shifting like this person existed on another plane. If that wasn’t the most annoying shit ever. Sara squeezed her hands and sighed. No she wasn’t letting it bother her right now. She’d managed to get into a good vibe and no invisible people were messing that up.
It was time to go back anyways; she probably could ride her bike in the dark. The dinky head light on the handle would be enough light and there rarely were any obstructions on the roads. She could ride it into Dublin at least. Then the bus back to her apartment. Maybe she should actually get a car. Oh well. Her head was getting fuzzy with clutter and it’d be easier to zone out once she was vegging on her couch and watching anime. As even more thoughts swirled around Sara finally pulled her feet from the dirt and slipped her sandals back on before making her way off the estate. It wasn’t like she couldn’t do this again. There was plenty of time to get in touch with nature.
