Appearance

PB: Boo Boo Stewart

Detailed description: Apple was pretty short until his freshman year when he sprouted up to 5'7 5'9, he's still growing and his family doctor has predicted that at his rate he will probably end up around 5'11-6'0 by the time he graduates. He's got a good build because of his martial arts training and hiking and pretty broad shoulders for a kid his age. He has the same wild hair that his mother has and his skin tone is a mixture of his father's Jordanian/Blackfoot heritage and his mother's Korean heritage. Apple has dark brown eyes an a sweet smile.

He doesn't bother worrying over what he's wearing. He likes loose fitting clothes and earth tones. Apple is the kind of kid who won't wear a shirt that often, not because he likes to show off but because he just prefers "au natural" as opposed to wearing a shirt. He sometimes likes to wear old man vests. He doesn't believe in skinny jeans, it's just… wrong to him. He also doesn't believe in ironic facial hair so he keeps himself clean shaven.


Personality

Likes: Photography, camping, hiking, nature pictures, organized chaos, gardening, telling stories, folklore, natural/organic cooking, loose leaf tea, canoeing.

Dislikes: Disorganized chaos, dancing, pop music, over processed food, technology, mullets, restricting clothes, romantic comedies.

Quirks:
*He's a counter, if he sees a texture or a clutter of the same thing he has to count it
*He loves the smell/taste of clove
*Tea fanatic
*Plays the ukulele
*He isn't necessarily a vegetarian but he does't eat red meat and he only eats local/organic foods and cage free poultry, except for when he is high- he'll eat just about anything then.
*He is a little bit of a pot head.
*He loves to cuddle.
*He doesn't own a pair of socks

Secrets:
*Wants to be a photo journalist more than anything, hopefully for a magical newspaper
*Pees outside a lot more than he'd like to admit
*Doesn't wear underwear often
*Loves his name
*Kissed a boy once

What’s in your characters pockets? Guitar pick, Burt's Bee's lip balm, Burt's Bee's hand salve, bits of tea leaves, crumpled up bits of paper, a compass. The contents look a little something like this

Strengths: He knows a lot about nature and animals and is quite good at survival skills in the wilderness. He's ridiculously patient and he can take quite a few hits before exploding. He's very intelligent and hard working. Apple is insanely flexible as he has been practicing yoga all his life.

Weaknesses:Suffers from bouts of insomnia especially when he's researching something he's very interested in. He sometimes can't help himself and gets involved in things that he doesn't necessarily need to get involved in. Although he's a terribly nice boy and a very good student he can sometimes be defiant towards authority figures when he doesn't agree and that sometimes leads to him getting into trouble and spending time in detention. He doesn't know when enough is enough.

Strongest subject in school: Ancient runes and herbology.
Weakest subject in school: Defense Against the Dark Arts
One thing he/she can't live without: TEA.

Detailed personality: Apple is very serious and contemplative when it comes to school work, his passion for making a more environmentally sound world, and research. He is brave and adventurous and although he'll never admit it, he's far more spontaneous than he lets on. He's confident in himself and his intelligence. He's idealistic and passionate about his ideas and beliefs on world peace and an environmentally sound planet. He does his part to attain this goal and to attain inner peace.

He's very accepting of those around him but he's struggling with the classical debate between complete acceptance and interfering when he believes that something is inherently wrong. For example, he isn't the kind of person who would be able to sit back and watch someone being picked on or attacked because of their sexuality or religion. He doesn't see it as a flaw in his character, but he feels like he can't call himself completely accepting because of it.

He is endlessly patient and quite serene for a fifteen year old kid. He's a hard worked and loves reading and research. He could spend hours in the library or outside reading books. He is not anti-social by any means but he does his best to avoid drama at all costs. He loves hiking and outdoor sports just as much as he does reading and he trusts in wild animals far more than he could ever trust in a human.

Apple is not the kind of person who sits around and waits for something to happen. He believes in his causes fiercely and fights for them. Apple was raised to never give up the good fight. He is sometimes more than defiant to authority figures if he doesn't agree with them or believes that they are corrupt. It's not that far of a stretch to say he believes in conspiracy theories more often than not. He has landed in detention several times because he will refuse to do an assignment or because he will fight with a teacher about why something isn't right.

Apple's perfect idea of a weekend get away is to take a back pack and go off into the wilderness, no map and no cell phone, completely fearless and relying on himself to survive. He never shies away from an adventure and is usually the one who is gathering the troops for some sort of expedition. Apple is very independent and doesn't like to feeling of relying on anyone else. He's not afraid of doing anything by himself, although it is nice to have company most of the time.


Personal History:

Juniper Williams was born to two young parents who met in 1965 at Woodstock, she was born approximately nine months later. Although unexpected she was loved and welcomed into the world by both parents. Her mother, Jennifer, was a trained witch who dropped out of CCI when she was seventeen to run off to join a commune in California and have her baby. Her father, Benjamin, the son of Korean immigrants, was born and raised in California. As a teenager he adopted pagan beliefs and started practicing on his own. He joined the same commune that Jennifer did.

Junpier was raised by the entire community and spent a lot of time running around with the other children of the commune and learning magic from her mother and traditional pagan rituals from her father. She was never officially trained in magic but learned everything that her mother and father taught her. She left the commune when she was eighteen to experience new things. She met a young math student from Berkley named Michael Evans.

Michael Evans's family has a rather long history of mobility. His father's side immigrated from Jordan to England and then to America after WWII while his mother's side hails from a long line of Blackfoot Native Americans. Michael lived a pretty normal life until he met a strange girl named Juniper when he was a freshman at Kent State. He was the polar opposite of the ethereal flower child but there was nothing that could stop them from being together, not even Michael's family. They eloped when they were twenty two and moved around for a few years until they decided to settle in the Bohemian community of Ashville, North Carolina where they could raise a family. They had their first child, a girl named River in 1986. Along with the birth of their daughter came a secret Juniper had been keeping the whole time… she was a witch and she was almost positive that her gift would be passed on to their children. Michael took it all in stride and came to accept that he would have to eventually bring his children wand shopping.

Juniper and Michael had three more children, two boys and a girl; Forrest, Apple, and Blue. All four children did indeed inherit their mother's magic. Juniper and Michael thought it would be best to send all the children to CCI when they were old enough to join the Lower Institute. River graduated and runs an aromatherapy and wiccan shop in downtown Ashville with her partner Jones. She and Jones are expecting their first child, due in September. Apple is pretty excited to become an uncle. Forrest is starting his senior year this term and the youngest Blue will be joining the Upper Institute as a freshman.

Apple Dragonfly Evans, the third child of Juniper and Michael was the more quiet and contemplative of his siblings. He has spent every summer with his family at the commune in California where his mother was raised. He had an interesting childhood full of travels and strange tales. When he was thirteen he threatened his parents that he would run away from home because of a little argument they had which resulted in his being grounded. Being accused of idle threats, Apple took his life savings and ran away to his grandmother's commune. He stayed with her for an entire week, sulking, about how unfair everything was until his grandmother threatened to take him on a visit to see her friends at the nudist colony. He went straight home and talked about his issues with his family.

Apple was never into playing typical sports like his brother Forrest, but he has never missed a quodpot match in his life. He took up Tae Kwon Do and Tai Chi because of the contemplative nature of martial arts. He also does yoga, his mother (who teaches yoga classes to muggles on the weekend) taught Apple everything he knows. He practices yoga every morning outside before classes start and he tried to at least stretch before he goes to bed at night. Apple is into extreme outdoor sports like kayaking, rock climbing, and bungee jumping. He is a thrill seeker and an adrenaline junkie despite his ability to be peaceful and serene. During his years at CCI he quickly rose to the top of his classes and took an interest in music and the environmental club. He picked up several instruments including the ukulele, violin, harmonica, and guitar. He would love to add other instruments to this collection and plans on teaching himself viola in the next year.

His freshman year was spent going on hiking trips, organizing hydroponic gardens so the school could have fresh vegetables, and reading as much as possible. He loves being at school and looks forward to moving on with his education and taking more advanced classes in the future.

Sophomore year was a bit of a trip for Apple. He started dating his former girlfriend Janis Parke and jammed out a lot with all his buds. During parents weekend his mother went missing along with some of the other student's parents. There is still no word on her whereabouts and this has not set well with Apple at all. To get his mind of things he has just been getting up to shenanigans. He tried out for the Rienzi quodpot team but he smoked too much before going to try outs and clung to his broom the whole time, freaking out about the height. He laughed it off with his friends and decided to stick to the bleachers and under the bleachers. >.>
