Intelligence Level: Middling to high, although she might not always let on how smart she is.
Any Mental Illnesses? No.
Learning Experiences: She got her basic finishing school sort of education, which she found intensely dull, so she did educate herself on the side with books she could find.
Character's short-term goals in life: ...survive to see the next day, week, month, year...
Character's long-term goals in life: Eventually, become a member of high society again. Probably have kids and a family and all.
How does Character see himself/herself? As generally upper-class, just on hard times. At the same time, she has a realistic view--she's not gonna fit into white society, and the magic isn't helping her case.
How does Character believe he/she is perceived by others? A bit snobby, but overall a good person. Generally of less value than your everyday human.

How does the character deal with anger? Not well. She does her best to hide it, but sometimes it comes out in bursts.
With sadness? She internalizes it so she can let it out in private.
With conflict? Depends on her mood. She can get very aggressive, though.
With change? Accepts it pretty willingly.
With loss? Grieves if she deems it necessary, but doesn't let it get in the way of her daily life if she can avoid it.
What does the character want out of life? Happiness, maybe some wealth on the side, and fun/adventure.
What would the character like to change in his/her life? She'd like to belong to the upper class again, definitely.
What motivates this character? Survival. Hope.
What frightens this character? Being cast down to social nothingness. Failure.
What makes this character happy? Fun. Adventure. Travel. High society, and sometimes defying it.
Is the character judgmental of others? Not too much, although it does happen occasionally.
Is the character generous or stingy? She tries to be generous, but she's not gonna go hungry to feed someone else unless it's a very very very worth cause.
Is the character generally polite or rude? Generally polite, unless she truly believes you don't deserve politeness. It takes a lot for her to behave like that, though.
Spiritual Characteristics
Does the character believe in God? She believes in the High God, yes.
What are the character's spiritual beliefs? She practices Rada voodoo as a religion, although she will consider Petro voodoo for very dire situations.
Is religion or spirituality a part of this character's life? Some.
If so, what role does it play? She's a mambo, so she has a shrine to her favourite Loa set up in her airship/home (Papa Legba). It also gives her a slightly different view on life, just in that she thinks all life should be at least respected, but... That's about it.
How the Character is Involved in the Story
Relationships with other characters:
Fuq dis shit n/a
Additional Notes on This Character: n/a
RP Example/Introductory Post (Give us an idea of your writing style and your character in RP):
Chuck was in her little caravan/airship, debating her docking pass with some officials as kindly as possible. It took about half an hour before they would believe that her papers were legitimate, which she had been expecting, but that didn't mean it didn't piss her off. Now she was sitting in the doorway, legs dangling in the air as she ate her paltry dinner. She was tired, definitely, but... Well, eating was always nice. She really only had a bit of pasta, but it wasn't too terrible, considering that she had thought she was out.
Looking across the city of Felorice at sunset, she wondered if she would need a permit to busk. Hopefully not... Plus, she usually got away with it anyways, so she wasn't too worried. And she could always check out this floating city... It held promise, if anything.
