Some might say she is nothing extraordinary, and in fact, is rather average. This would not be too far off. Aside from her amateur artistic talents, there isn't much that sets Quinn apart from the crowd. That, coupled with her sometimes introverted ways make for a particularly unimpressive social life, unless participating in art club counts as social interaction.<br/><br/>Her high school grades were not the best; she is not a genius and she never made it into any AP courses. However, she was offered the privilege of being able to tutor others based upon her academics. Anything involving English, writing, reading and literature would be considered her favorite subjects. Yet, classes like science and math were always more of a struggle, probably because she is more creatively minded and less analytical. Not the most athletic, she avoided sports as often as possible, though she was slightly envious of the camaraderie and friendships that tend to flourish from being in such activities. Thankfully, gym class is no longer a required course at university.<br/><br/>Often she would wonder if her talent is good enough to pursue in college and beyond, as a career. It is a very competitive field, and always has been. In high school, she had a few of her art pieces entered into art shows and one that even made it into a gallery for a high school exhibit. But, even then, seeing her artwork beside other, equally if not more talented students' artwork, made Quinn question her aspirations of taking her passion for art and turning it into a field of study, and eventually a career.<br/><br/>Her mother was always trying to persuade Quinn to do something practical, like pursue a business degree or a degree in communications. However, her father knew how much her dream meant to her and quietly encouraged her to chase her dreams and make them a reality. But then, everything changed at the age of 18 when she was given an acceptance letter into Hogwarts University. Magic apparently ran in her veins, though it hadn't made its way into any of her known family.<br/><br/>Although her parents doubted its authenticity at fist and had to research whether or not it was a scam, they quickly learned what was safe for muggle parents to learn about Hogwarts and a world of magic. Though it was scary for them to let Quinn pursue such an education without really knowing what it entailed, they did know that she would be in good hands and they felt like it was best for her to be with others who were like her. So, Quinn packed up and traveled to Hogwarts, practicing her magic, which she only just learned about, as often as possible.<br/><br/>Now, she has been attending Hogwarts University since age 18 and is in her third year there. As a twist of fate, now it was her turn to be tutored as she struggled her way through grueling subjects and learned an entirely new format of education. Not only that, but she was fascinated by magic and the magical world around her. A late bloomer at Hogwarts, Quinn is still learning how to navigate this entirely new life and what her future might hold.<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>Drawing, painting, reading, blogging, writing, bookstores, manga, hot chocolate, tutoring, sweets<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Being put on the spot, feeling invisible, forced social events, making small talk, stress, anxiety, failing grades, alcohol, dark arts, bullies<br/><strong>Skills:</strong>Artistic ability, creativity, showing compassion for other living things, blending into the background, concentration despite background noise<br/><strong>Flaws:</strong>Anxious, idealist, indecisive, awkward, naïve<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>Third year student<br/><strong>House:</strong>Ravenclaw<br/><strong>Subjects Taught/Taken:</strong>Care of Magical Creatures, Muggle Studies, History of Magic, and Herbology<br/><strong>Wand:</strong>Sugar Maple | Dittany Stalk | 10 ¼" | Pliant (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d6/7b/68/d67b68bb450f12dd63855c4a1a64396c.jpg)<br/><strong>Patronus:</strong>Not yet discovered<br/><strong>Familiar:</strong>Black cat named Luna<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Exam Grades:</strong></span><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">O.W.L Grades</div><div class="spoiler_body">Transfiguration - A<br/>Defense Against the Dark Arts - P<br/>Muggle Studies - O<br/>Astronomy - E<br/>Ancient Runes - A<br/>History of Magic - A<br/>Charms - A<br/>Divination - P<br/>Potions - P<br/>Herbology - E <br/>Care of Magical Creatures - E<br/>Arithmancy - A<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">N.E.W.T Grades</div><div class="spoiler_body">Transfiguration - A<br/>Defense Against the Dark Arts - P<br/>Muggle Studies - O<br/>Astronomy - E<br/>Ancient Runes - A<br/>History of Magic - A<br/>Charms - E<br/>Divination - P<br/>Potions - A<br/>Herbology - E<br/>Care of Magical Creatures - O<br/>Arithmancy - A<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">O.G.R.E Grades</div><div class="spoiler_body">Transfiguration - A<br/>Defense Against the Dark Arts - P<br/>Muggle Studies - O<br/>Astronomy - E<br/>Ancient Runes - A<br/>History of Magic - E<br/>Charms - A<br/>Divination - P<br/>Potions - A<br/>Herbology - O<br/>Care of Magical Creatures - O<br/>Arithmancy - A<br/></div></div><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Connections</strong></span></div><br/>TBD.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Extra</strong></span></div><br/>Quinn is American and has a Midwestern accent.
