-My OC pretty much looks like the picture-

A warm gentle breeze flowed through my hair as I started to wake up. When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was surrounded by luscious green grass and a patch of flowers. I tried hard to remember just how I ended up there but my memory was hazy.
I tried to sit up but my head spun, so I gently touched the side of my head which made me discover quite a large bump. 'Great' Then, my memory slowly started to return and my heart skipped a beat as I remember the man who saved me. 'I just have to find him and thank him... but I must continue on my journey to Magnolia. I promised my foster mother that I would find the strongest guild in Fiore so I could grow as a person and as a wizard; I need to get to Fairy Tail.'
Looking around me, I try to find my bearings. I noticed that the forest wasn't far behind me and that it was a little after dawn. There was no one in sight and I couldn't help but wonder where my savior had gone. 'Why did he leave me here?'
After I stood up, I brushed the dirt off of my purple skirt and matching shirt. 'Wow, I'm covered in dirt!' I chuckled slightly to myself as I remember how long it's been since I've gotten this filthy. Turning around, I saw my bag on the ground next to the spot I had been laying and was grateful for being lucky enough not to lose anything.
Next, I spotted a dirt road that was winding through the forest. 'That must've been the one that I had been following last night.' I shuddered at the events of the night I spent in the forest but I shook the feeling and started off towards Magnolia. Knowing that I had to be only a few hours away, my pace quickened and my face beamed with excitement. Traveling across the country was definitely going to be worth it when I got to my destination.
*A few hours later*
I spotted a town as I reached the top of a hill and I immediately started running. My heavy bag was slamming into my back as I ran but I ignored the pain and kept going. Coming close to tripping a few times, I reluctantly slowed my pace. In no time I was at the edge of the place I'd been longing to see for years.
Being raised in the middle of nowhere was ok, but I couldn't wait to live in this magnificent place! I loved the feeling of the cobblestone street underneath my feet and the smell of fresh bread as I passed a bakery. The stores were just opening and I was amazed at how many people were already walking around despite the early hour. 'Ok focus! I need to find Fairy Tail so I can finally be a full-fledged wizard!' I stopped the next person I saw and asked directions to the guild. The kind lady that I had stopped pointed me in the right direction and I took off. "Thanks!" I yelled over my shoulder and continued to run.
In about 10 minutes I had finally arrived at the big double doors of a large building. There was a windmill attached near the top and a huge Fairy Tail mark on the front of the guild hall. My breathing was ragged as I slowly reached towards the door handle. I honestly didn't know what to expect, never having been to a guild before, and I had only ever heard about the Fairy Tail wizards in Sorcerer Weekly. Anyways, with my mind going a million miles per hour, I took a deep breath and opened the door.
Utter chaos is all my mind could register. My anticipation turned to worry as I saw tables and chairs flying through the hair. "Come and fight me Ice Princess!" I heard a pink-haired boy say as he threw a large wooden chair towards a dark-haired boy who, for some reason, was half naked... "STOP!" Someone's voice boomed throughout the whole hall making me jump and a small yelp escaped my lips. That's when all the fighting died down and I noticed a small old man approaching me. "Don't be afraid child, please come in." He smiled up at me and I cautiously took a few steps inside, my footsteps echoing through the suddenly silent room. As the door shut behind me the small man said, "I'm Makarov, the Master of the Fairy Tail! Can I help you?"
Sensing the warmth and kindness in his voice I cleared my throat and gave him a shy smile, my cheeks suddenly a light pink color. "Y-Yes, I was hoping to join your guild." I said, slightly trailing off towards the end when I realized everyone was staring at me. It was silent for a few moments until the small man I now knew as Makarov gave me a big grin. Then, he turned around and yelled, "We have a new member everyone!" Cheers erupted from every corner of the large space and a girl with beautiful white hair came up to me. "I'm Mira!" she said with a kind smile. "Nice to meet you Mira, I'm Claire." I replied. She grabbed my hand and gently pulled me over to a bar near the back of the guild hall. "Where and what color would you like your guild mark to be Claire?" I smiled wider than I'd ever smiled before and happily replied, "Dark blue on my left hip."
My bag started to weigh down my shoulder so I set it down at my feet as I plopped down on a bar stool, glad to be able to rest my legs. Mira took out the guild mark stamp and placed it where I had asked. I couldn't stop smiling; I was ecstatic to finally have a family again.
