The first task you will need to complete is very simple. You must fill out a shortened version of the dreaded custom form and post it in your contest thread! Not that difficult, right? Please make sure you fill these out in a timely manner - Task Two depends on them.
You may now edit your form as much as you like. Those people who did not submit their forms by October 8th are still able to continue the contest, they just must wait until all the rest of their tasks are completed before they can finish Task Two.
I understand that people may have a lot more to say about their child than this form covers. Feel free to list as much information about your kid as you like, just make sure that the information below is at the top of your Task One post.
Note: I've drawn several little drawings of what I thought Anna would sort of look like. She wouldn't hold true exactly to the picture, as I can't draw her well enough, but oh well. xd Guidelines, I suppose. I wanted to help. Um, end rant. sweatdrop
Child's Name: Anna
Full Description of Child: As a baby, Anna will be olive-skinned and slightly smaller-than-average child. She already has a mess of azure hair the tends to fall down into her face, and as a baby her favorite blanket is a blue one with red trim with patterns like water. Her eyes are large and emerald, and a small tuft of feathers above her left eye, around her left temple. Her ears are slightly pointed at the top.
As a toddler, Anna has donned a enormous blue coat of the same color and pattern as the blanket with a zipper down the middle adorned with a black circle with a design in the center about as big as Anna's head at this stage. The coat covers all of her, so she doesn't need pants. She wears a pair of wooden sandals and a few jeweled barettes at the ends of her now shoulder-length hair. The patch of feathers is starting to develop into a small wing, but only on the left. Her left eye has become muddled and cloudy.
As a kid, Anna has cast off the coat for the time being. She wears red cloth shorts and a white shirt she's taken from her guardian's ((me xD')) wardrobe with a small pastel red flower in the top right corner. Although she doesn't wear it, she still carries the coat. Her hair is somewhere between her shoulders and her chest. Beneath the coat she's wearing a loose grey short sleeved shirt.
As a pre-teen Anna's hair is now down her chest, adorned with many more jeweled pieces. She is small for her age, which fits her timidity. The feathers have spread over towards her eyes, and her left eye is now a milky-green. The wing has grown to a large size. Her jacket has shrunk slightly, and she has it tied around her waist. She now wears a tan bubble skirt, and a white ribbed tank top. On her feet are red flip-flops. She wears a tan plaid newsboy cap on her head.
As a teen, Anna has grown slightly taller, although she's still small for her age. Her hair is roughly the same length, although she's tied it up behind her head to better see ((her eyesight is going - explained later)). A few small, light pieces still fall and frame her face, though, no matter how hard she tries to pin them up. She's skinny, but she still has her baby fat. She's trying out glasses because of her left eye, although she doesn't like them, and feels more awkward than usual. She wears the jacket halfway zipped so that the part that covers her shoulders is down by her elbows. She wears a gray tee with a small green scarf tied around her neck. Anna also wears a pair of slightly loose dark denim jeans.
As a young adult, Anna has grown very tall, as opposed to her formerly short stature. Her legs are now long and graceful, and her fingers are thin, piano-player's fingers. Her hair flows down to her waist, and is still a deep azure. Her eyes are just as large as they were in her previous stages, although now they're a brighter, more attentive green. Her baby fat has disappeared and revealed a beautiful pre-teen. Her coat has shrunken to be the size of a loose hoodie, which she still wears. She now wears a white tank top that shows off her small stomach, and you can see the tan bubble skirt. On her feet she wears dark brown sheep-skin boots.
As an adult, Anna has finally stopped growing, although now she's very tall and very slender. She looks very waifish, as though a small breeze could whisk her away. She's still somewhat awkward about her figure, although she's grown into it amazingly from the klutzy short girl she used to be. The coat now fits like a fitted jacket, slightly cropped at the bottom, although not just because she's grown into it - it seems to have shrunk to fit her, somehow. Beneath it she wears a white t-shirt with a picture of an upside-down tree on it with a small bird flying off at the bottom ((or the top, technically)) of the tree. The tan bubble skirt has now shrunk into a mini skirt, revealing long, thing legs. She's rolled down the tops of her boots and tied a small anklet-esque string around her calf, which has many charms dangling from it. She has finally grown into a beautiful woman, although she still sticks to books. Speaking of which, slung around her shoulder is a semi-small blue suede messenger bag with a purple lucky rabbit's foot hanging from a small keyring on the zipper.
Child's Personality: Anna is a shy, quiet girl who rarely stands up for herself. While others talk, Anna prefers to stay silent and to absorb what others around her say, and formulate her own opinion about whatever the issue. Unfortunately, she doesn't speak up much, so that opinion is seldom heard, however insightful or intelligent. She often has a lot to say, but she doesn't have the courage to say it. On the other hand, when the topic doesn't interest her, Anna often drifts off into daydreams and her own thoughts. She longs for friends, but she isn't very confident in her own abilities, even though she has several talents. She loves it when people are honest and adores those who speak their mind.
Anything else: The small wing growing at about her left temple has caused her to gradually lose sight in her left eye, somewhat heartbreaking for her, as she loves books and reading. However, she is unaware of it for most of her life, but her eye will soon see in a different way - through things, different frequencies, all kinds of things that are naked to the human eye. It takes a long time to develop, though.
