Name:Claire Joanna Heart
SpeciedGillinkinese
Birthdate: June 5th
Age: 22
Year at Shiz It is my Fourth year at Shiz University where I have had the chance to make so many friends. I am nearing my end here at Shiz, and it hurts my heart a little. I love to see the new students pour in the doors every year when school begins (and even take a few under my wing and help them learn the ways of this great establishment). And who knows where I will go from here? Life is so uncertain outside these walls I’ve become accustomed to. I might never see my friends. I might have to get up even earlier than I do now…that’s simply no good.
Major/House at ShizI currently reside in the Galinda Tower at Shiz University and am a student in Sorcery.
Birthplace: I was born to loving parents in the Upper Uplands. They worked constantly and so my childhood was filled mostly with Nannies who floated in and out of my life.
Allegience I’m not very political. My parents were always great supporters of the Wizard because he helped us make our fortunes. I suppose I am grateful for that, but I wouldn’t really want him to come back. We’ve done fine since he left. I always found the whole Elphaba thing so interesting, but I wouldn’t exactly call myself a supporter in so many words. Nombie is well, Nombie. One must play nice in order to make it as far as possible in this world. I’m not a political person. I just try to be as kind as possible to everyone who comes my way.
Appearance: I am a beautiful blonde with gentle curls. I am of average height, about 5’5, with a very feminine build. My blue eyes sparkle whenever I’m around my friends. Ninety nine percent of the time you’ll see me in pink. I have fifteen pink dresses, two pink suits, five pink shirts, a pair of pink pants, eight pink hats, twenty pink hair accessories, and fifty pair of pink shoes. Of course, that isn’t the entirety of my large wardrobe collection (which is the icing on my beauty cake!), but it does give a good starting point.

Sexual Orientation Straight
Background History: I was the second of five children. My parents may have not had time to take care of children, but they sure had time to make them! My older brother being only a year older than me, we were very close growing up; well, we still are. He, unlike me, is political. We stay away from that subject, though. Even though he was only a year older than me, he always thought it was his responsibility to take care of me. He had never let me have a boyfriend or even a friend for that matter unless he approved. He is my comfort and my strength and the first person I run to if I ever need anything.
My parents and I were never close. They were always gone to the Emerald City working on the latest construction and decorative adornments of buildings and statues within the Emerald City. I was allowed to come every few months for a visit, and when I was young it was so beautiful and shiny. Then the dazzle wore off the older I got. Sure, it’s always beautiful, but somehow the longer you stay and the more you go the less glamorous it all seems. I’ve had four nannies throughout my childhood: Nanny Fae, Nanny Evelette, Nanny Mag, and Nanny Silva. Nanny Silva was my favorite. She was with us from the time I was six until I went away to school at eighteen. She left that next year, and I felt badly for my siblings still at home. She loved us more than our own Mother did. She taught me how to curl my hair and loved putting it up in bows and ribbons. She gave me my favorite set of pearls which I still wear to this day.
My younger siblings are now 15, 12, and 8: Mima, Daniel, and Leila. I miss Leila the most. She was still young when I left home, and I loved her so much. Her pretty little red curls still bounce every time she runs to me when I visit home. I’m sad I missed her growing up. She wants to follow in my footsteps and go to Shiz and study sorcery. I just wish she could have before I graduated, so I could finally spend a little time with her. However, I have no dobut she will be just as happy and popular as I am.
Personality Traits/Flaws: I am just a bubble full of sunshine. I love being the popular girl who everyone loves to love. My entire life consists of being happy so that happiness can rub off on others. A smile is contagious, or so I’ve always been told. I love to be that happy girl everyone sees, but deep inside, I’m insecure. Would you believe it? I’m afraid no one really likes me for who I am, that they only like me because I’m that bubbly thing I make myself out to be. If I ever let that down, would anyone still like me?
Well, I’m also always on this constant search for love. You see, every since I was a little girl I’ve dreamed of this big white wedding with my “prince charming” of sorts, but I’ve just never found him. I spend far too much time and energy wishing and hoping and looking for this guy, my soul mate. I’ve had plenty of boyfriends, but they never last for long. They’re all just things to pass the time with. I want someone who will love me, all of me.
I am also slightly flawed in the brains department. It’s not that I’m not intelligent; I am. I actually learn quite fast, but I am so forgetful! I do the ditziest things. I will look for the necklace that’s on my neck for half an hour and answer the complete opposite to a question in class. I’m giggly and bright and love to have a good time. I have such fun in everything I do. I try to make life worth living.
Interests/Hobbies
Likes I like: boys, being popular, following in the footsteps of Galinda the Good, my big brother, and hanging out with my friends
Dislikes I dislike having to deal with Mombie, anything to do with politics, change, leaving my little sister every time I return to school, and being alone.
Greatest Fear: My greatest fear is to be alone forever. I need people around me to feel secure and alive. I am at my happiest with the people I am closest to. I have nightmares that I die alone with no husband, no children, no family, and no friends. It is so important to me to meet the perfect guy and raise a family that I myself mother, because I never had a mother in my life.
Strengths Dressing well, Making friends, Nurturing others, loving with my whole heart, being popular
Weaknesses ditziness, forgetfulness, loneliness, inner parental resentment, masking my emotions with happiness
Best Memory My best memory was the day my sister was born. I knew my mom was getting older and that this would probably be the last birth I would witness of a sibling. From the day my mom told me she was pregnant with Leila, I felt an odd connection to her. The day she was born it was if I had birthed her myself. She felt more like a daughter than a sister, and this rush of love just washed over me. From that moment on I knew how much I wanted to have kids someday. I knew no other moment could top it until I had a child of my own in my arms.
Worst Memory My worst memory was the first time I knew my parents weren’t coming home for eight months. From the moment they headed for the door I burst into tears, and though I was only two, my heart ached. I became physically ill, and all I wanted was my Mama. Though I watched the door for hours, she never came back through it. She even missed my third birthday. At the moment they walked out that door I realized my parents would never be in my life permanently. It was my worst moment, my worst memory, and it plays over and over in my dreams sometimes at night when I’m lonely.
Goals: I want to graduate from Shiz and gain an internship with Glenda the Good (it is my dream!). She is my idol. I want to learn everything I can from her, but at the same time, I want a family. I want to meet that man of my dreams and raise a house full of children. If it came between a family and my job, I would choose a family. But if I could have both, that would be the perfect life.
Writing Sample Claire sat in her room brushing her golden locks, thinking of the days ahead and all the excitement in store. Her brother had only been gone from the room a few minutes, but her mind had been miles away for hours. She hadn’t listened to a word he said about homework and classes, she was thinking about the party at the end of the month. The midsummer ball was just around the corner, and she needed a date and a dress. She had already decided upon the pale pink shoes with bows on the toes, and of course her pearls from Nanny Silva. But the dress outweighed them ten to one. So up she sprang after running the brush over just once more and bounced over to the closet, “party dresses…party dresses...party dresses…” she mumbled again again and again pulling things off the hangers and flinging them on the floor. “This!” she exclaimed with such excitement one might have thought she had just received a million dollars. “This is the dress.”
