~~~About My Character~~~
What is your character's history? What has happened to them in their lives to make them the way they are today?
Anna Stutler is Dave Stutler’s twin sister. She and her brother were very close as children, only starting to grow apart after the events in the Arcana Cabana. Their parents’ drive to determine what was wrong with Dave meant that Anna was sort of shoved aside. When one of the psychiatrists suggested that the twins be involved in different activities, Anna was enrolled in martial arts and music lessons. It became a pattern for their parents to forget to pick her up on time, usually because of one of Dave’s doctor appointments.
A few years after their tenth birthday and the events at the Arcana Cabana, Kasha Stutler, their mother, disappeared. This led to more stress in the household. Allan Stutler began drinking, and began butting heads with his daughter as she entered high school, blaming her for her mother’s disappearance and generally taking his anger out on her. This prompted Anna into rebellion, and she fell in with a punk crowd and engaged in various rebellious activities. This led to more arguments between her and her father. If not for Dave, it’s possible she would not have gone to college at all.
By the time she was fifteen, Anna had gotten into hacking, using her skills to try and find her mother. While her brother hid out in his physics and his science, Anna dug into her music and friends. She left home as soon as she turned 18, the February of their senior year. Anna moved in with some older friends who had their own apartment. She stayed with them through the first part of her freshman year of college, when she and some band mates got another apartment. She enrolled in New York University, at the insistence of her brother.
Describe your character's personality. What are their strengths and weaknesses? What are their passions? What qualities do they have that are good or bad?
Anna is a bit of a rebel, and has major problems with your typical authority. Which is how she justifies any hacking or questionable activities she gets involved in. However, if she deems someone worthy of her loyalty, she will go to any lengths to aid them. Anna is a straight-up sidekick.
While she doesn’t crave the spotlight, she is somewhat prideful. She took up an apprenticeship with Horvath because she wanted to be able to one-up her brother. Her two passions are computers and music. She plays the cello in a metal rock band. Anna is very much a punk, with colorful stripes in her hair that change frequently.
What is your character's status? Are they a hero/heroine, sidekick (includes non-speaking animal sidekicks), guardian, princess, High Council Member, Faerie, Inner Circle, Client (villains in a formal deal with the Friends), Agent (villains allied with the Friends but not in their debt), or Villain (unaware/not working for the Friends directly)?
Your chosen status will become your Custom Title.
Sidekick
What Disney character is your character connected to, and how? How do you feel this character will add to the plot?
Anna is Dave’s sister, and Horvath’s apprentice. As Horvath’s second-in-command, she’ll add all sorts of fun things to the plot.
~~~Sample~~~
Give us a small sample of how you will play your character. Give us at least three paragraphs.
Anna bit her lip as she looked up at the building. She doubled checked the address in her hand -- sure enough, this was the right place. She just hadn't expected it to be so ... big. Wasn't it more appropriate for a wizard to live in some dark, crowded house? Like the Arcana Cabana -- that 's what came to mind when someone mentioned a sorcerer's dwelling.
But then, that had been Balthazar Blake's style. And from looks alone, one could tell that Maxim Horvath carried himself with a different air. Anna smiled to herself as she approached the doorman. Dave could have the smelly old man who looked like he 'd completely missed the invention of shampoo. She 'd much prefer a man who had a bit of style. Just because she was something of a punk didn't mean she couldn't appreciate taste.
The doorman didn't even raise an eyebrow at her look, or the fact that she looked as though she would be more appropriate in SoHo than midtown. He just opened the door for her with a smile. Anna followed Horvath's direction from there, to an apartment that was nearly at the top of the building. Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, she knocked on the door. No turning back now.
Horvath opened the door promptly, with a smile. "Hello, Anna," he greeted, stepping back to let her through.
"Hey," Anna answered, looking around the apartment as she entered. She let out a low whistle. "Dude ... you really know how to blow that dark and dank dwelling stereotype to hell, don't you." And boy did it. Granted, the apartment was fashioned in dark tones – a lot of mahogony and other dark woods. It felt very Old World. But it wasn’t like the Arcana Cabana, which had felt as though items had just been gathering clutter for hundreds of years. This was smooth and chic. A gentleman’s apartment. She liked it.

Why this character? What draws you to them? What makes you want to play them?
I’ve had Anna as an OC for several months now, and my story for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) was based on her. Anna is a good underling for Horvath, and I think that she could be an asset to the board and his plots. There’s no telling what sort of mischief a nearly full-fledged sorceress could get into. Also, her relationship with Horvath is complicated and fascinating. I’ve been playing Anna with Horvath’s player since her creation, so we both have a good feel for them.
Who else do you play here?
No one yet
Have you PM'd Puck or Anna about a probation thread?
Umm…don’t have to, as…I am Anna.
