A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.

In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

CHARACTER
Name: Rapunzel
Canon: Tangled
Timeline: After breaking up the fight between Maximus and Flynn and getting them to call a truce.
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality: At exactly 18 years old, Rapunzel is primarily three things: Curious, talented, and sweet. The curiosity comes from her sheltered life, and she longs to know more about what other people's lives are like. In fact, her curiosity is one of her main driving forces. Due to it, she develops the bravery to look at the world as more than just a scary place. She loves to learn about a number of subjects, and approached the world wide-eyed and ready to be taught… Which leaves her perhaps a bit too impressionable.

She has a number of skills she developed early in life, to cope with being bored, and while none of them are particularly helpful in a big-picture sense, (she's mostly artistically gifted), it passes the time. As an artist, she's truly exceptional. Painting is her true passion, whereas her other hobbies are more ways of passing the time. So while her artistic gifts are grand, she is not an expert in her other areas of interest, even the other artsy ones. Still, she's not doing these things to be the best - She's doing them to have fun.

She's also quite... Well, really, good, to the point of being somewhat naive and trusting those she shouldn't. She has a positive nature, is incredibly obedient, (most of the time), and in general is just a well-intentioned soul who brings out the best in others. She's non-judgemental and very open to new ideas about other people and accepting their flaws. A large part of this is the fact that she's had so few people in her life that she really isn't about to discriminate when it comes to who she gets to know.

Rapunzel can be a bit of a scaredy-cat, but it's not without good reason. While, as mentioned above, she has the ability to bring out the best in people, she was always taught that there was no best in most people. Though she is very trusting of people, her initial reaction is still always suspicion and fear when meeting someone new.

Additionally, she is perfectly capable of being tricky and manipulative when a goal is important to her. On that note, the girl is incredibly determined when she has a dream to reach. She just doesn't give up, even if she has to do some wrong - so long as it's not truly cruel - to get where she wants to be. She works hard, faces her fears, and thinks and acts her way around obstacles when she's on a mission.

But how does Rapunzel see herself? Well, that's a little complicated. She will wake up in the morning feeling pretty good about who she is, but it doesn't take much from Gothel to make her see herself as weak and helpless. However, she is very quick to overcome that when she does something right.

First Person:
[Rapunzel has no idea how she went from causing peace between a man and a horse to getting off some strange… Thing, for lack of better word. She has no idea, and she’s a bit frightened about that. She steps off with a mass of other people. Some of them looking perfectly human; others do not.]

Does anyone--

[But before she finishes, she realizes everyone else looks just as confused as she feels. So Rapunzel quiets herself, not wanting to worry anyone further. And eventually, she finds a poster. Reading it over gives her a small bit of relief, and slowly, her mind starts the change over from worried mode to adventurous mode.]

Third Person:
It was, perhaps, ironic that she ended up spending so much of her time in the city up in the towers. Rapunzel didn’t think about that, though. All she cared about was the view; the beautiful view of a world even grander, in some ways, than the one she’d barely gotten to explore back home.

It really wasn’t fair at all. She’d been taken from her home just before reaching the kingdom; the lanterns. She still longed to see the things she had missed, if she was to be honest with herself. Not to mention the fact that the idea of never seeing Mother or Pascal again terrified her. She’d even miss Flynn… Or Eugene, rather.

But she didn’t loathe her time in the city, by any means. It was a new adventure. It wasn’t what she’d been hoping for, no, but it was exciting nonetheless. There were so many interesting people to meet, and so many unique, new sights to see. She wasn’t going to let time go by as she moped; she was going to explore.
