THE STAR
The Star is one of the most unequivocally bright spots in the pantheon of the Arcane. She is a show-off, but without the characteristic arrogance of the Sorcerer, performing half in order to get a pleasurable reaction from the audience, half simply because she enjoys the performance. The purpose of any showboating the Star does is to get a laugh or a smile out of her friends, those around her. She is at her best when amongst a crowd of people, familiar with at least most of them, engaging their attention in some way.
Stars are most often connected with the performance arts, utilizing these gifts to entertain their friends and keep a certain amount of levity in their lives. A Star may be a musician, an actor, a comedian, or a dancer; if she does not use these skills in her professional life she may well practice them in her private life. Sometimes a Star is involved in a social profession that, while it involves no actual performance as such, offers her an opportunity to mingle with and meet a number of people from a variety of walks of life. She may act as counselor or devil's advocate to her friends in need, offering a pragmatic or down-to-earth view so gracefully that it does not abrade the emotions unnecessarily. Usually following a talking-to, she turns around and offers comfort and cheer.
Stars are generally low-maintenance and require only a little time to vent or rest or otherwise dispose of the stress they have built up over a period of caring for their friends. However, a Star who gets too little of this may fall into a deep depression or, worse, an almost psychotic malaise. Fallen Stars often become Sorcerers simply out of taking too little time for themselves, the stress of bad situation after bad situation clouding their judgment until they start midway down a Sorcerer's path. Already possessing the charisma and social skills, it isn't that far from manipulating emotions towards happiness and ease from manipulating them any way the Star chooses.
I came across this tutorial the other day, and of course the ONLY POSSIBLE THING TO DO was to photoshop everyone (well okay, not everyone, but everyone I could find decent pictures of) in Choices 'verse as Cullens.
Don't worry, they don't sparklebut only cause I don't know how to make 'em sparkle
( Yes, you can laugh, I personally find it hilarious :P )
And then after I got a few of the gold eyed ones done Baileigh was in my head all "...Really? This family? You think they'd go hunt elk over snacking on tasty yummy delicious people noms? REALLY?! Do you KNOW them?" And I had to concede the point (except for Hiro and Peter. They'd skip into the forest to eat some elk and save some kittens along the way :P )
( Can I just say they all look kinda freaky? ) So who wants to take photoshop away from me until I can learn to use it responsibly? :D

Dawn is a person driven by her love for her friends and her desire to make a difference. Perhaps you are, too. You're willing to do whatever is necessary to do what is right for those you care about, and sometimes this can get you in a little bit of trouble.
Most of all, however, you have a heart of gold.
Congratulations!
