APPEARANCE
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Jacq has a rather fragile appearance, like a glass figurine that cannot be touched or it will break. She has very pale skin, just about milk white, and it is very soft to the touch. She has a bit of an innocent look upon her face most of the time. Jacq is what one would consider the image of perfection and beauty, her frown could make the world cry, and her smile could brighten the sun. She is very kind and comforting looking, everything about her is overly feminine. She is very small in stature and frame. She stands a mere 5’2” tall without shoes on. Her body is thin, but not sickly looking. She’s very fine boned but not childishly small. She has tiny hands and feet and a soft supple face causing her body to retain some youthfulness to it.
Her eyes and hair are what get the most attention though. Her well-shaped gray-green pools of eternity radiate kindness and security. Her eyes are full of expression, always. If she frowns, it’s more apparent in her eyes then even upon her tender lips. The hair upon her small head is constantly changing color. Its vivid colors and its fine texture are most desired qualities. Her mostly straight locks fall to just past her shoulders ending in a very jagged staggered cut. Such beautiful hair seems to always sit perfectly upon her head in messy tangled locks.
The only thing that could match her hair in softness is her skin. Its pale white color is like that of a porcelain doll. It’s stretched tight over her form unable to wrinkle. The texture of her skin is unheard of; it’s smooth and soft feeling, like some sort of God-create fabric that no man could copy here on earth. It’s so smooth and gentle to touch.
PERSONAL STYLE: Jacq wears all sorts of things; of course most of it is rather colorful. Of course her favorite thing to wear is a t-shirt and jeans. She has a bit of a punk and goth style. She goes between wearing something like combat boots to wearing giant goth boots. People often joke and call her rainbow brite,which she doesn’t mind.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: If Jacq were to be described in one word, it would be colorful. Not only is she colorful on the outside but she is colorful on the inside. She is artistic and seems to view the world from a different perspective than everyone else. She can find the beauty in everything and every one. It’s something she believes is a gift although some just call her naïve. Others think her to be inspirational and optimistic. She has this way of seeing the good even in all the bad. She can bring a light to even the darkest situations.
Jacq is always friendly and is usually of a good disposition. It’s hard to see her, or even imagine her as something other than a pleasant, happy person. She’s always smiling at everyone and waving at everyone and is more than willing to talk to strangers. She is of the mindset that “strangers are friends you haven’t met yet”. This might be due to all of the people that she has met in her life, the strangers that would come and go that she met through her father’s work. She’s never met anyone she hasn’t liked, although people didn’t always receive her well. Being the daughter of a famous German magical zoologist meant that she got to travel a lot and work with animals most people only dreamed of seeing. So people did have a tendency to resent her for her good fortune but she never held it against them. She’d still smile at them and befriend them and carry on as if she couldn’t tell that they resented her.
She could always tell though, that they resented her. She was very perceptive. Growing up around animals made her senses very fine-tuned. By the time she was 6 she could sense other peoples emotions, she could pick up on the little flicks and gestures of the animals that could indicate how they were feeling. Of course people often brushed off a 6 year old when they said “I don’t think you should do that, he’s getting very mad.” But she was always right. She could tell when an animal wasn’t feeling up to par. She became accustom to each animal’s personality and could tell when they were slightly off. Of course all of this transferred over to humans. She could sense when someone wasn’t feeling well, or was feeling down. She was very good at empathizing with people. This made her a reliable friend as she got older. Being able to empathize made her able to understand just about anything, which made her the kind of person people would go to. Even as young as ten she had people talking to her about things that they were afraid other people wouldn’t understand. She generally just smiled at them and reassured them that everything would be okay.
Of course Jacq isn’t quite a passive person. She’s excitable and more than willing to be the life of the party. She’s not afraid of being the center of attention but she doesn’t let it go to her head. She doesn’t mind going out and having a good time and taking chances. She is playful and flirtatious and sometimes that can get her into trouble but she always seems to be able to get herself out of it. She can be exuberant and energetic one moment and then be relaxed and calm the next as the situation calls for it. Sometimes she gets overly excited about things and her intensity can be a little frightening but she generally levels out very quickly to a more tolerable level of excitement.
She is confidant without being arrogant. She is strong without being overbearing. She is fearless without being too bold. She is a strong person who is very resourceful and has the power to carry on through anything. She is strong willed and can be stubborn sometimes, even frustratingly so.
Of course she can’t always be rainbows and butterflies. People just don’t live on spring mornings and sunshine dust all the time. That would just be sickening. She can be a very levelheaded and rational person, something she learned from her father. She is patient and responsible. She hardly ever gets mad, and even if she does one would be hard pressed to see it in her. She is good at hiding negative emotions and even letting them go. It’s something she’s learned from working with magical animals. Having negative emotions while around magical animals is a quick way to get hurt. One of the first lessons she learned.
All in all she appears to be a well-adjusted human being. She does, of course, miss her father and Germany very much but she’s not afraid of new adventures. She’s content. Of course she could be emotional, she’s still a human being but she sees very little point of being sad or angry or jealous. So she just tries to be a positive force in her own and others’ lives.
BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

BIOGRAPHY: Jacqueline was born in Hamburg, Germany. Her father is Axel Rosenthal a rather famous German magical zoologist who traveled around the world to work with magical creatures of all sorts. So needless to say Jacqueline grew up around animals. Unfortunately, Jacqueline’s mother died during childbirth leaving her father a single parent. This inevitably made the bond between the two very strong. Axel loved his baby girl and Jacqueline was her daddy’s girl.
Jacqueline was only two years old when she started to travel around the world with her father. It wasn’t that she was particularly read to travel yet but more that her father couldn’t handle being in one place for too long, his entire life had been spent traveling around the world so having to stay in one place put him very much on edge. So when Jacqueline was old enough to grip a portkey he began to travel again, with the happy little Jacq in tow. This allowed Jacq to experience animals and other magical creatures that many people only dreamed about.
As a young girl she became accustom to her father having odd and sometimes dangerous pets around. By the time she was five she had her own collection of strange magical pets. Her first pet was a little Crup called “Puppy” as named by the two-year-old Jacq. She was given a Kelpie for her third birthday named “Kelp”. Soon after she acquired a Jarvey by the name of “Ferdinand” who was probably the excuse for many of the troublesome phrases she used as a young girl. She received a Kneazle (with proper documentation) for her fourth birthday by one of her father’s colleagues because the Kneazle, named “Layla” had not liked the man’s own daughter; Layla, however, was quite taken with Jacq. Nearing her fifth birthday Jacq actually received a child-safe pet, a Puffskein by the name of “Coosh”, which Jacq loved but found mildly boring. She was more infatuated by the three-headed puppy she got only a couple weeks later, which she named “Paddington Bear” (often shortened to Paddy, Bear, or Bear-Bear).
At age 7 Jacq had the exciting pleasure to help her father raise an Antipodean Opaleye Dragon from an egg through its first year of life. Of course, her father closely monitored all of their interactions, but it was an experience she would never forget. It was also the year that she received a young winged horse, from her father’s best friend, that drank only single-malt whiskey. The colt’s name was “Brighton” and he was golden in color with red eyes, he grew quite quickly to a gargantuan size.
At the age of 10 her she found a young Griffin named “Lancaster”, which Jacq became quite taken with. The rather dangerous creature became somewhat of a guard-dog to little Jacq; he tolerated her naivety and served as somewhat of a babysitter while Axel was out and unable to watch her.
Out of all the creatures she has come in contact with one of the most fascinating creatures she has had the pleasure of experiencing was her father’s Phoenix “Phen”, the bird was absolutely breathtaking and always full of surprises. The phoenix had saved her butt on more than one occasion and the first time she saw him burst into flames she cried. It was only a few minutes later that her father showed her that amongst the ashes lay the baby Phen.
Going to school was hard for Jacq; she had never had to stay in the same place for such a long period of time. Usually her father, herself, and their menagerie of animals traveled from place to place only spending weeks to a few months there at a time. The thought of going to a school for seven years had filled her with dread. But being the positive person she was, Jacq quickly saw the positives that could come out of it. So she headed off to school with her pet cat Otto in tow.
Her schooling was quite uneventful; she aced every single Care of Magical Creatures test, paper, and question sputtering out a plethora of knowledge that was probably overwhelming for the average student. She also excelled in Herbology and Potions, which she had learned from her father’s best friend and notable leader in the discovery and of magical and muggle plants. She picked up quite quickly in Charms but struggled to get by in Ancient Runes and Divinations. She did find a passion for flying though, which she has carried through her years of school playing Quidditch for her house.
At the age of thirteen Jacq’s father had an unexpected run-in with an angry Manticore and although there would luckily be no permanent damage he was laid up for most of the summer recovering. This meant that Jacq spent the entire summer in Hamburg where she met the most fascinating muggle boy from England (he was living with his uncle to get away from his parents). His name was Alphonse and he was two years older than Jacq. The pair hit it off almost immediately and they spent the better part of the summer together. Alphonse was rather heartbroken when Jacq left but she promised to write him. This of course led her to explain the whole owl mail thing, and how she didn’t actually know how to use a mailbox or what to do at a post office. Alphonse was rather relaxed about the entire thing. Well, as relaxed as he could be. He had a lot of questions, not all of which she could answer. But once she explained everything she introduced him to some of her tamer pets.
Jacq was quite enamored with Alphonse and wrote him all through her third year and even visited him over the winter break. This relationship lasted throughout all of her years at Hogwarts but has caused her a lot of scrutiny. Some people have even stopped being her friend after finding out about Alphonse but it doesn’t bother Jacq. She is immensely happy with Alphonse and she doesn’t care what anyone else thinks. Over the years Jacq has even taken Alphonse on some trips with her and her father. They really made a wonderful pair.
This past summer (the summer between her 6th and 7th year) Jacq has spent most of her time in the hospital in Hamburg with Alphonse. Alphonse was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia as a child and had another relapse. At his request Alphonse was transferred back home to a hospital in England so that he could be with his family. No matter how much trouble they had, he knew going home would be better not only for them but for him and Jacq. So with the impending start of school, her sick boyfriend, and a dire need to be in London Jacq went back to London early to stay at the Leaky Cauldron until the start of school.
