FULL NAME: Petra Eleanor Corner
NICKNAME{S}: Pet, mostly. Her father called her this when she was young, and although she was teased through school for it she still prefers it to Petra or any other nickname you could get out of Petra Eleanor.
AGE/YEAR: Twenty one.
BIRTHDAY: June 24th.
HOUSE: Gryffindor.
BLOODLINE/ALLIANCE: Pure / Resistance.
PET(S): A flashy Harlequin Macaw named Tolkien which preforms owl-like duties (she can say, "From Petra, For You") and a sugar glider named Lenore. They are both female, and on occasion, reported to be a phoenix and a ring tailed lemur. [/color][/font]

GOALS & DREAMS: When she was little she had all the normal childhood ambitions- become an astronaut, run away and join the circus, all that sort of thing. When she was fourteen she had the fleeting desire to become an auror but never had the grades to pull it off. Now her biggest goal is to work as a double agent in the war- her standing as a pureblood and adeptness at lying hooked her up with a job at the Ministry. They've sent her to be a double agent in the resistance army, which she finds hilarious and enjoyable.
FEARS: Not so much a fear as a pet peeve, but she absolutely hates it when people call her out for lying. She's just about as good as covering her tracks as she is at lying in the first place, but it annoys her to no end. She's afraid of heights and any means of muggle transport- you'd be hard pressed to get her into a car, let alone an airplane or bullet train.
STRENGTHS: She is a phenomenal liar. After receiving the so called 'cure' to her ailment of compulsive lying, she retained her ability to lie quite well. She has no qualms about it and can lie through her teeth without batting a lash. Since she claims she has it under control, she considers this more of a strength than a weakness. She's also quite adept at telling when other people are lying, and is pretty much a walking talking lie detector with a cute face.
WEAKNESSES: Pretty much every ninth thing that comes out of her mouth is in some way not true. The ratio of truths to lies has improved significantly from her childhood, but is still by no means exemplary. She also holds a grudge and acts on her emotions when it is inappropriate.
PERSONALITY: [optional, but if you're challenging someone, you may want to do it.][/color][/font]

HOMETOWN: Cornwall, London.
HISTORY:
As a young child, she picked up the concepts of lying, sarcasm, and blaming her older siblings for everything she did wrong. Her parents felt these developments came unnervingly early in life and were right to consult a pediatrician psychologist. She was diagnosed with several mental problems including Histrionic Personality Disorder, whose symptoms include wild moodswings and a tendency to be over dramatic, Selective Mutisim when faced with highly unpleasant accusations, and most notably compulsive lying disorder. As a child of seven or eight, basically everything she said was a lie or at least extremely melodramatic, and in situations when she couldn't lie she just wouldn't talk at all.
Her mental problems grew worse as she aged, and by the time she was ready to be shipped off to Hogwarts her parents doubted if she could take care of herself. Her brother and sister were tasked with the job of keeping an eye on her, but they couldn't possibly- she was too high energy, too mentally disturbed. She ended up back at home within four months, now billed with Anorexia and Kleptomania as well. For the next two years her schooling was neglected so her mental problems could be tended to.
By the time she was fourteen her Anorexia, Kleptomania and Histrionic Personality Disorder were all tackled with the use of potions, charms, and therapy and she was billed as fit to return to the school system. Still, though, pretty much eighty percent of what she said were lies. She quickly became known throughout the school as a liar, although nobody associated it with mental health and rather just personality flaws. She had few friends and fewer romantic relationships. As she aged, she grew less restless and began to mellow. In her last two years at Hogwarts, she made a few lasting friendships and even kept a boyfriend for about three months once. In the last few months of her seventh year, her doctor proclaimed her cured of any mental disorders- anything that was left was just who she was.
And she was still a lair, for the most part. After graduating at the age of seventeen, she disappeared for a year and a half. When she got back she claimed she had fulfilled her lifelong dream of running away with the circus, where she preformed acrobatics on horseback, but few people believed her. The joke, however, was on them, as she had indeed spent this time with a traveling wizard circus, mostly preforming in small towns in Russia. She got bored with this, though, and eventually returned home, again pursuing her dream of becoming an Auror. She never got to finish her primary training, however, as the new minister took over.
