<strong>Name:</strong>Jeanne D'Arnise<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Lineage:</strong>Half Human/Veela<br/><strong>Age:</strong>17<br/><strong>Class Year:</strong>First<br/><strong>Dorm:</strong>Fox<br/><br/><strong>Noteable Strengths:</strong>Despite Jeanne's shy demeanor, she can be positively frightening when using magic. She possessess a natural grace with her wand, able to cast incantations perfectly<br/>and with a peculiar confidence she doesn't usually show. She has a strong affinity using charms, and is exceptionaly well trained in using her magic to combat dark magic. However, she<br/>wasn't only interested in defense during her earlier years, and has learned a number of jinxes and attacks that weren't part of the corriculem at her previous Academy. Furthermore, she has the potential to become a powerful Seer, though at the moment it rarely is within her control, kicking in only on occasion or when she's in grave danger of dying.<br/><br/><strong>Noteable Weaknesses:</strong>Jeanne has several weaknesses, the major being that she didn't pay as much attention as she should've during her Academy years. Simply knowledge regarding herbs and potions has elluded her, as well as some of the general knowledge ragarding animals and the Wizarding world in general. She can also be rather naive, especially when someone insists that they don't want to hurt her or harm her. Her craving to make friends has impeded her natural suspicious nature. Also, she's shy about showing off too much skin, and can be seen wearing a formal set of dress robes, which some teachers may or may not approve of.<br/><br/><strong>Noteable Possessions:</strong><br/>Wand - 13 1/2 inches, blackthorn, Thestral hair. Colored a sleek obsidian from end to tip, it has a rather uncomfortable air about it when looked at.<br/><br/><strong>Physical Description:</strong><br/>(http://th05.deviantart.net/fs44/300W/i/2009/073/3/d/Hitodama_by_scarypet.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Jeanne's first and foremost withdrawn, usually shy and timid around others, not one to speak much. More often than not she sits on the outskirts of classrooms, eats by herself, and generally keeps to her own company. Despite her rather anti-social behaviour, she's very intelligent and perceptive, noticing and understanding the subtler details in both academia and her surroundings. Her quick wits and natural talent allow her to wield magic almost with an effortless grace many others are jealous of. Unfortunately, she also lacks the strong motivation and determination that fuels other's to greater heights, having resulted in mixed results in regards to her N.E.W.T.s. While doing exceptionally well in some of her classes, in other's she barely passed, making many teachers shake their heads and sigh at the waste. Jeanne D'Arnise also is relatively kind, though not many people know of this particular side of her nature.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Jeanne D'Arnise was born to a pureblood family, one that had spanned several generations back. Wizards and witches all, the D'Arnise family was quite well known, having produced a variety of exceptional mages, from Aurors to Alchemists. Jeanne however, much to the disgrace of parts of her family, wasn't born a pure-blood. She was only half, the other being an entirely different creature than human; a Veela. Her father, one of the fabled alchemists, a master of transfiguration magic, fell deeply in love with a beautiful, caring Veela, and in the end went against much of his family in marrying the woman he loved. While shunned at first, Jeanne eventually gained acceptance of some of her family, mainly being her uncle and grandmother.<br/><br/>Jeanne D'Arnise's particular talents didn't fall into transfiguration like her father, but into something else entirely as she came to discovered during her years at the Magic Academy she attended; divination. She wasn't just some fake, or someone with a modicum of talent, she happened to be a full blown seeress. Everything she foretold through cards or tea leaves, though minor in nature, came true. Add the fact that she received visions now and again, especially when it came to regard her own life, and a bunch of eager scholars and sages you'd get, all wanting to use her talent in hopes of finding out future prophecies. The combination of unwanted attention and the shunning of most of her family caused her to become rather withdrawn, and in the end she simply kept to herself, never making any lasting friends. After graduating she found that her potions NEWT was simply not good enough to allow her to do what she always wanted, to become an Auror. Thus she's found herself outside the gates of a new, post NEWT 'University', hoping to improve her resume so she can begin training in her new career.<br/><br/><strong>Subjects:</strong><br/><em>Arithmancy</em>- E<br/><em>Charms</em>- E<br/><em>DADA</em>- O<br/><em>Divination</em>- O<br/><em>Transfiguration</em>- E<br/><em>Potions</em>- A<br/><em>Herbology</em>- A<br/><br/><strong>Special Talents:</strong><br/><em>Apparation</em><br/><em>Seer</em><br/><em>Legilimency</em>
