Character Approval/Anthea Hallgren

I need someone to show me my place in all this. *~Sophie*

1) **Describe your character's backstory. Who are their parents? Did they grow up with Nobility, or were they of lower class? The character's backstory must be at least 2 paragraphs long.**

Anthea Hallgren has been regarded as a brilliant woman. At least, as long as she has been known as one.

Originally born with the name of Anthony Hallgren, Anthea never really felt comfortable with her identity as a young elf. It was ever so helpful when you had parents who observed norms, and that meant the one-sided view of gender. Without anything close to a support system, a young Anthea had to patiently wait it all out until the time was right. But that time perhaps would never come.

It all started with the name. She began calling herself Anthea in the mirror and slowly came to like that name. Over time, she slowly changed minor things about herself. Unknowing of how her family would react, she could not make the move and come out like that. So as she started Foxfire and manifesting two months in as a Polyglot first, she began the tough part of becoming transgender. At some point, during her third year in Foxfire, she manifested again, as a Telepath. This prompted her to finally decide to say it out loud. And her family couldn't have reacted a different way than they did.

It started with great disappointment and disapproval... to only warm up to tolerance. As long as Anthea could still be a star in school. And she definitely was. After coming out, she gained confidence and became someone that all the other elves were jealous of.

2) **What is your character's personality like? Are they respectable, or rude? The character's personality must be a paragraph long.**

3) **What does your character look like? Do you have a model in mind for them? (if you do, you only need to say who it is)**

Her model is Jamie Clayton.

4) **Describe your character's skill set. What they are good at? What do they want to be good at? What are they not good at?**

* Anthea has a way with social interactions. She feels right at home no matter the topic.
* She's also admirable at the arts; it's something she prides herself on, and it's her daily motivation.
* She has been regarded as a mom friend a lot; someone who watches out for others and their wellbeing. She's crazy good at it too.
