I've offered these links before in the cbox so I thought I should post them here for any other newcomers who are having trouble with writing the required amount of paragraphs for their character bio.
I only have links that would be helpful for the personality section, but if I find any more I'll add them and anyone else who has useful links can just reply here.
Understand Your Personality Test

Developing background & personality
Obviously don't just copy and paste into your application, because I'm sure it will be plain to the admins if this has been done, but hopefully they should help inspire you with ideas that you can develop.

If you're still stuck on personality, try doing paragraphs focussed on particular aspects of a personality, for instance; talents, weaknesses, dislikes & likes, strengths etc.
---
For history, just bullet point each key thing that happens in their life - try one for every paragraph you need under requirements for your character - and use them as a base. Just develop those bullet points one at a time with details, and you'll soon find you have at least a half-decent history.

Hopefully that'll help people in some way or other...
