Physical Description: Both in her living and now deathly days, Moaning Myrtle stands at a stance of 5'0" and is a scrawny mess. She suffered from terrible acne when she was living, so it left her face scarred but now in death, it makes her face look like an old lady. Myrtle also has her long hair in a permanent dividend as they are on either side of her head. Mostly, Myrtle is see thru as one would be if they were dead, naturally.

Personality Description: Myrtle is a loyalist to those who don't hurt her or talk ill of her. She has always been a good listener, even if a bit loopy in the senses. A shy & coy young lady, Myrtle wants to make friends with all, uncaring that she happens to no longer be a living, breathing person. She takes the best interest in individuals (even if said individuals are horrified to be a part of her cares) & wants to make sure they are cared for - awww, what a sweetie.


Though Myrtle could be a sweetheart,  Myrtle has also always been considered the 'negative nelly' of Hogwarts as she is easily able to take offense by the little insults to her. She shrieks, mopes, screams, sobbing and even swearing she'll haunt you like she did Olive Hornsby if you prick her. It does stem from her teasing as a student but it seems some people just never knows when to quit. Myrtle also loves to mope (but we all knew that, right?) Perhaps one the creepiest things about Myrtle is her insane fascination to snoop on boys. She finds boys still cute, which clearly would make her a fangirl, even as they're too often like "OMIGAWD! MYRTLE! WTFUDGECRACKERS!?" - needless to say, she doesn't care.

History: Roald Byther, an eye doctor, & his lovely housewife, Cerwen, were a happy Muggle family in the turn of the century living in Wales when their only child, Myrtle Enid, was born. The girl had beautiful raven hair with a sweet albeit shy personality who needed glasses once she was six. Myrtle was the one to pick on & was rightly so, which often meant her coming home crying, much to her parents dismay. They were intending to move but a letter from a place called 'Hogwarts' seemed a way out for their daughter. Myrtle went off happily & was sorted into Ravenclaw: all seemed quite blissfully happy up until her fourth year. A handsome boy from Slytherin named Tom Riddle, one year younger than she, melted her heart but only to have it crushed by his crones who believed in making her life miserable. The taunting increased double fold for the fifth & sixth year, especially by a girl of the name Olive Hornsby when Myrtle was enduring feminine changes.

The insults increased & by near the end of her sixth year, Myrtle wanted to die rather endure Hornsby much longer, but didn't know her wish would come true when Tom Riddle was found in the girls' loo with him. She asked what was going on & the next thing she knew...all was cold as she died. Her parents fell into deep depression, taking the opportunity to leave the UK & moving to the US to forget all about what had occurred. As for Olive Hornsby, who had found the body (as she planned to pick on Myrtle more), she became the target for Myrtle's vengeance. Myrtle continued to haunt the girl until a wedding of Olive's brother & a call to the Ministry. The ghostly gal was made to be a permanent fixture at Hogwarts forevermore, to where she has remained, haunting the girls' lavatory for the most part whilst becoming the tag line of students' (too often) insentitive jokes.

And thus is the ballad of Moaning Myrtle.

Writing Sample:

Sum up your character in one paragraph: Moaning Myrtle has been & always will be the haunt with whom you want best to avoid. She cares not if you breath, for to her you are a plaything. That IS, until you hurt her....then it becomes a mission of hers to be miserable & to drag you down with her.
