First Impression: When one first meets Myrtle, it is easy to assume she is a quiet sort of girl who likes to keep to herself. Her eyes are always moving, however, so any observant person can tell that Myrtle is watching. She seems like a relatively calm and composed sort of person who isn't easily frazzled.
Basic Skeleton: First impressions are half-right when it comes to Myrtle. She can be quiet and observant, though she also loves being in the mix of things. She's high-energy and exuberant and willing to try new things. Like fishing in the Lake with Roger Davies. She's got the adventurous spirit of a Lion coupled with the inquisitive nature of a Ravenclaw.

Dress Style: When not in uniform, usually drab-colored/neutral-colored clothing so she goes unnoticed. She doesn't go for fashionably updated clothing, choosing to stick with more basic attire like jeans and a shirt on a normal day and a prudent skirt and blouse for Church.
Manner of Speech: Myrtle has a high-pitched, nasal tone of voice. She speaks fluidly, however, and quickly.

Myrtle Bartlett belongs to JKR and whoever else now has their hands in the Harry Potter franchise. Shirley Henderson belongs to herself. Content, however, is mine except where it is explicitly JKR's in her books and in the movies. Cut text is taken from "Miss Potter Lives for a Day" where Shirley Henderson plays Edythe. The line is hers.
