<div class="floatleft">(http://www.the-spearhead.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/g14.jpg)</div><strong>Character's Name:Marie Fleury</strong><br/><strong>Nickname:</strong>Whiney<br/><strong>Character's Age &amp; Birth date:</strong>3rd year 2nd of November 1995<br/><strong>Birthplace:</strong>Nice<br/><strong>Current Residence:</strong>Paris<br/><strong>Blood Status:</strong>Half Blood<br/><strong>Wand:</strong>9", Oak, Unicorn<br/><strong>Beauxbatons Mansion/Year:</strong>Papillonlisse<br/><strong>Pet:</strong>A Ferret<br/><strong>Special Possessions:</strong>An Engogio-bra, used to make her seem more curvaceous, given to her by a slightly odd friend of her mother's.<br/><br/><div align="center"><em><strong>Appearance</strong></em></div><strong>Hair:</strong>Blonde<br/><strong>Eyes:</strong>Heterochromic blue/green<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>Slim (around 9 stone)<br/><strong>Physical Description:</strong>Marie is slim and unassuming, petite in almost every sense of the word, being short as well as the rest. She carries herself unsure and light on her feet, often accompanied by the scent of inks and poorly combined perfumes. Her hands often colored rainbow by her calligraphy inks with the odd flecks on her face or clothes as well, she is the very epitome of the introverted creative, sans the beret which is at least two levels of cliche for Marie. She does, however, keep carefully maintained nails for her music.<br/><strong>Other Notable  Features:</strong>Marie has an ill-advised butterfly tattoo on her left forearm after one particularly powerful prank charm a friend used on her in their second year, as well as a scar down the left side of her lips, from chasing her little sister around the house and sliding face first through a screen door.<br/><br/><div align="center"><em><strong>In Depth</strong></em></div><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Marie is a creative soul, being a calligrapher, cartographer and musician, either playing the flute or a home-made guitar or carefully making her poetry slightly prettier to look at on the border of her new map, though she has almost no academic drive and is considered largely lazy and sub-par within classes. She's arbitrary and slightly odd, speaking animatedly about just about anything she is often likened to a hummingbird, tiny, pretty, fast and utterly unable to sit down and do one thing for long.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Marie was born in a small villa just outside of Nice, she eventually moved to Paris at the age of 8 when her sister Veronique was born. It was there, at the age of fifteen, that when one of her carefully drawn maps was taken by one of the bigger girls and ripped in two, the girl and her friends found themselves unable to move as their underwear had descended to ankle level, after that it was deemed prudent that she move schools and undertake a certain level of meditative therapy, her mother talking her through it.<br/><br/>Her first two years at Bauxbatons had been somewhat usual, if mischievous, she was certainly something of a prankster from day one, liable to mess with the other first year's maps and leave exploding ink balls all over the place. Her second year, however, was tinged with self discovery, learning that she liked other girls... from here she has become ever more introverted from her peers, unable to bring herself to tell anyone and unable to keep it to herself.<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong><br/>Parents:<br/>Marcel Fleury, owner of a winery and a muggle. He is balding and genial, a man of a booming, jolly voice and a boisterous, kindly temperament.<br/>Marianne Fleury (Neé Voyaux) A half blood herself and a herbalist, cultivating an impressive garden, a warm woman with an easy smile and sharing her daughter's features.<br/>Siblings:<br/>Veronique Fleury, Marie's younger sister, precocious in her own way, already a budding artist and painter and learning the violin, she looks more like their father, sharing her sister's heterochromic eyes.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Flowers, cartoggraphy, calligraphy, music and mischief.<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Males (romantically only, she's not a man hater) Bullying, cruelty of any form and jealousy<br/><strong>Fears:</strong>The dark, spiders and most of all, being abandoned and alone.<br/><strong>Favorite Animal(s):</strong>Rabbits, stoats, weasels and other similar small mammals, mostly those in the rodent and otter families.<br/><strong>Favorite Color(s):</strong>Purple, teal and verdant.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><strong>Xanthaine</strong></span></div>
