Ebony is a slightly dark person, but only because of her dark past that always seems to grow and haunt her. She is usually a loner, and does best in her work by herself, but she will team up with anyone when necessary or when the situation calls for it. When, and if, she befriends anyone the thought of betrayal would never cross her thoughts for fear of losing something that may grow closer to her, which she does not wish to lose.
Ebony is very complex. She can be smiling one moment, and then furious the next, but only because she may interpret things differently than others. But, she usually has complete control over her emotions, since they can usually tap into her source of magic and send everything haywire. However, she never really shows emotions, opting for more a small part of each one to come out when it does. As they say, too much of one thing can hurt someone and with her power, that statement is true.
Ebony also has a slight anger issue. If someone pushes or even mentions a sensitive string, a little part of her will snap. But it all depends on the person pushes it and what they are pushing. If it was just a simple accident, then she'll probably just lapse into a bit of silence and soon forget about it. But, if it's intended, you're probably going to end up in the hospital if you don't dodge her wrath, and that is not a joke.
History: (Must be at least 3 paragraphs)
Ebony was abandoned by her parents when she was just about able to walk. It is unknown to her as to why she was abandoned whether it had been that they just could not take care of her or that they just didn't want her. Growing up, she lived on the streets, stealing food and money from any sucker that passed her path. She also took on the care of the other orphans that she met. While she may not have been the oldest at that time, she did try and assume a mother figure to the orphans which they embraced wholeheartedly. When she was about 10, she found a secret passage that led into the nearby library of the area she was living in. From then on, she went to the library everyday, learning everything from how to read to how to cast magic spells, most of which had been lost. Once she was 15, she knew plenty of spells to give her a living and she was getting complete control over her best source of magic. The Black Arts. Most of the Black Spells had been lost with time, but this book contained it's secrets. So she learned all she could. (She keeps the book around her neck for fear of losing it's contents and secrets.)
At this point, Ebony had figured she might as well go to school, and learn anything she didn't already know. So, she headed off to the Lestava Magic Academy. There she enrolled, and soon became one of the top students at the Academy. She almost seemed to be a perfect student, and most of the teachers loved her, while most of the student body ignored her, and she them. But, when the Board found out she knew the Black Arts, they did everything they could to expel her, by any means necessary. They tried to put her into situations where she would have to use one of her Black Spells, but with her growing intellect, she found other ways of how to get out. But soon enough the Board had found a loophole. An accident had been committed at the school, and Ebony had just happened to be present at the scene. They blamed her and expelled her from the school, ending her enrollment and placing her back with no place to go.
Ebony was once again back on the streets, but she could now support herself, both in ways of money and survival, so she went off looking for a job of sorts. She found one, as a researcher in a nearby facility that had a pretty good pay. This way, she could have access to all the books she needed and learn everything there was that she needed to know. But, being a researcher didn't exactly bring in the money she was hoping for. So, she then became a Guardian Escort. Royal families didn't care that she knew the Black Arts, just as long as they got to their destination safe and sound, they were happy, and she got paid. So now, she is trying her best to live a normal life, or at least what she sees as normal.

Role Play Sample: (must be for the character you are applying for at least one paragraph)
Ebony walked the streets of Cocoon, her hands behind her head and her eyes closed. She had just gotten done with an Escort job, and she didn't need to do any Research notices at the moment, so she was headed off to the local inn where her room was located. Walking down the bustling streets, comforted her. It reminded her that she was home now, and she was safe. She didn't have to always be on guard like she usually was on one of her Escort jobs. And this last client was extremely snobbish.
“God, am I glad that I'm away from that idiot now,” she said to herself as she continued walking. “If I had to listen to anymore of her little 'problems' I think I would have had a stroke.”
Finally, Ebony had reached the inn where she was currently living, and entered. The barmaid and cook stood behind the counter, and were hard at work. They waved at their regular customer, and Ebony waved back, heading towards the stairs. She was going to have a nice hot bath, and then go straight to bed on her lovely and comfortable feather bed. That was, until the barmaid came up behind her, and tapped her shoulder. Ebony turned around and faced her.
“What is it, Emilia?”
“Sorry to bother you, Ebony, but you got another Escort notice today. The Astor's have asked for you two days from now.”
Ebony's shoulders slumped. Well,so much for relaxing.
“Alright. Contact them and tell them I accept. I'll be up in my room if you need me.”
“Understood. Good night, Ebony”
“Yeah, yeah.”
