So why hold back, why pretend to behave because of some big man in the sky? Live, love as often as you can, drink, and grab life by the horns. And remember it isn't illegal if you don't get caught. Joanna spent far too much of her life resisting the urges that she was always told would send her to hell. Now believing there is no such thing, Joanna does whatever she wants. Drinking, drugs, sex, all to amounts that most wouldn't dare to cross. Caution thrown to the wind, it’s time to hold life by the horns and hold on for one hell of a ride.<br/><br/>Amoral: No regrets, it’s a saying that Joanna now lives by. She used to worry about everything she did, felt guilty for ever wrongdoing, ashamed for the cravings she had, and scared to hate the people that turned her into the poor little church mouse. Well fuck them, fuck quilt, time to only feel the good in life.<br/><br/>Hungry: Now some may wonder what this could mean. But since finding out that there is so much more to the world, that men can become what simple people believe to be gods. Why not learn all you can and gain what power you can for yourself. This need to learn more drives, Joanna, to be a much better student than most would expect from her. They see a wild girl meant to fail when in truth there is an intelligent woman all too ready to learn everything this new world has to offer. She is hungry for knowladge, hungry for freedom, and all to ready to devour the world offered to her.<br/><br/>Hedonistic: As you can probably see by now, Joanna is a girl that loves to feel good. After all, she spent most of her life as nothing but a cowering sinful girl, punished by her father’s hand, and prepared for gods true purpose by her mother’s words. Well, they never expected what would happen, and now that she is free to be who she wants, Joanna does just that. Yes, Sir, I'll take some more.... >:)<br/><br/>Loyal: Joanna found out a lot when magic entered her life, and there are a great many things that have changed about her. But one thing still rings true; when you become part of her circle she's loyal till the end. Don't fuck with her people, because she isn't afraid to back them up and hex your ass.<br/><br/>Witty: Once she was a quite almost mousy sweet girl, now that smartass is free. Never one to be short on something to say. He quick-witted words tend to show there is more ticking behind those icy blue eyes, much more then she tends to reveal.<br/><br/>Individuality: Joanna used to be one of many, same hair, same dress, same beliefs and attitude, just another faith drowned robot, but then she broke free and even if it took time Joanna has found a voice of her own. Her looks, her style, her beliefs, and destiny are now all hers and hers alone and she isn't afraid to show it.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/><br/>Joanna Zipporah Batherson was the name given to the baby that was adopted into a no-maj family devoted to the church. No one knew anything about where she came from, but at the beginning that didn't matter. Her adoptive father and grandfather were both priests within the Catholic church that practically overshadowed their town, or so it seemed to the young girl that grew up there. Her father's attitude was that of an extremist when it came to his faith. Needless to say, Joanna grew up in a very strict household.<br/><br/>She grew up feeling the fear of god overseeing all her actions, as well as shame for her body and the way it was changing. The school was, of course, a private all-girls school that kept a strict eye on the daughter of the local Priesthood. Joanna would attempt to push against the restrictions set upon her but found herself strictly punished for it.<br/><br/>Her father was quick to anger when he felt she had sinned. No one saw though, not being able to believe that a man of the cloth could be so abusive to his own family. But there were days Joanna still wakes up shaking in fear of him dragging her from her bed for one reason or another. Singing in the choir and sketching when she had the time. Always drawing the fanciful creatures she'd read about or see in her dreams. Moments of happiness when things were thought to be well or at least everyone pretended well enough to make it a pleasant moment.<br/><br/>But then the vision's came, and her whole world turned upside down. Joanna would have 'dreams' that showed her things that never made any sense. And when she spoke of them her family feared that girl, they had brought into their family was touched by the devil. The days that followed are something Joanna never speaks of, but in the end, it seemed to become too much. She was only 15 but enough had been enough. Joanna walked up the church's bell tower while her so-called father spoke of gods love and leaped from it.<br/><br/>Her scream when she fell towards the stones below caught the attention of those inside. Joanna expected to see the last moments of her life flashing before her eyes just before a painful ending took her life. But it didn't happen; instead, her body came to a stop just before hitting the ground and floated there for what seemed like forever to her. She could barely believe it, barely escaping death was one thing, but defying the laws of gravity to do it was a whole different matter. It was as if God himself had caught her in his unseen hands and saved her for a higher purpose. The magic slowly faded and eventually, Joanna gently landed on the dusty stone pathway below her.<br/><br/>If her visions had not convinced them of her wicked soul, this sure as hell did. Terrified Joanna went home expecting not knowing what to expect. But before they could even enter the home they were met with members of the mystery of magic. They couldn't tell the family the whole truth, but they did explain that Joanna was special. At first, her adoptive father refused to let her go, but when it was not so subtly pointed out he could be facing real jail time for the abuse he had made Joanna endure he said to take her. He wanted nothing to do with the spawn of satan anyway. The members of the ministry saw fit to Obliviate the muggles rather then leave the with the strange memories of Joanna.<br/><br/>Now in a strange new world, she is trying her best to find her footing. Stuck in remedial classes and feeling as if she were so far behind she’d never catch up. But she is determined to try her best, and explore this would new world to the fullest.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Traits</strong></span></span></div><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>rock and roll, dancing, motorcycles, old muscles cars, flying brooms, dragons, swimming, good strong drinks, the "occasional" joint, quidditch (totally wants to be a beater), poker, challenges, candy (she was never allowed much of it growing up.), parties and everything that goes with them,<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>astels, People sticking their nose in where she doesn't want it, prudes, pop music, country music, Rap music, whiners, rules lawyers, bible thumpers, even worse when they try and force it on her, abusive ass holes,<br/><strong>Skills:</strong>photographic memory (though she doesn't tell anyone this), artistic (skilled at drawing and painting) reading people,figuring out how things work, fast learner, physically fit, gardening she has a surprisingly green thumb, singing (though it doesn't hold the same joy as it once did<br/><strong>Flaws:</strong>hot tempered, new to the magical world, fear of closed in places, no idea where she actually came from or her true heritage, plagued by vision and thought she was crazy, untrusting, self destructive,<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Wizarding Information</strong></span></span></div><br/><strong>Role:</strong>Student 1st year<br/><strong>House:</strong>Gryffindor<br/><strong>Subjects Taught/Taken:</strong>Remedial Wizardry 101<br/><strong>Wand:</strong>Pine | Rougarou Hair | 10in | light flex<br/><strong>Patronus:</strong>N/A<br/><strong>Familiar:</strong>Her small familiar Minion<br/>(https://www.catster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/sphynx-profile-kitten-basket252242836.jpg)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Exam Grades:</strong></span><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Connections</strong></span></div><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Extra</strong></span></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">She has the gift of visions(or at times is plagued by them).
