<div class="floatright">(http://celebreeties.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Phoebe-Tonkin.jpg)</div><strong>Name</strong>: Valerie Beaumont<br/><strong>Age/Birthdate</strong>: September 8th 2000<br/><strong>Blood Status</strong>: Half-Blood, doesn't know her father's name only that he was a Pureblood<br/><strong>House</strong>: (Will be told upon acceptance)<br/><strong>Year</strong>: 1st Year<br/><strong>Wand</strong>: Aspen, Dragon, 8<br/><strong>FaceClaim</strong>: Phoebe Tonkin<br/><strong>Height/Weight</strong>: 5"8' 120lbs<br/><strong>Hair Color</strong>: Brown<br/><strong>Eyes</strong>: Hazel<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>: BI<br/><strong>Home</strong>: London, England.<br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Valerie is a woman of grand ambitions to make the world a better place, which she is certain she can only do if she has authority. This makes it that while her ideals are good natured she is cold, calculating, and often vicious. She isn't intelligent in the sense of books, her intelligence comes from an understanding of politics, espionage, and tactics. As far as magic is concerned she is most skilled at dueling with her magic style being very explosive.<br/><br/>That being said those who are loyal to her will find only loyalty and respect in return and if one can get past her hardline exterior they will find a passionate person who truly believes the world needs to be better, a rare few even meet the softer side of her that only comes out on occasion or if it is necessary for the current goal. She despises death eaters and everything they stood for, her father was one, but she isn't afraid to use black magic if it fulfilled her ambitions. It would be a poor decision to hurt someone she has decided is a friend, she simply wouldn't stop until you plead for death, which she may not be willing to oblige.<br/><strong>Family</strong>:<br/>Madame Beaumont- Really this is her only family, well her and the girls who work for her. Valerie was orphaned as a child when her father was killed for being a Death Eater. She is a woman of politics both muggle and magical and is a valuable informant to many.<br/><br/>Father (unknown) - A Death Eater who left Valerie his Wand and a sum of money which is still looked after by Beaumont.<br/><br/>Mother (unknown)- A muggle killed by Valerie's father to prove his loyalty to the Death Eaters two years after the battle for Hogwarts.<br/><strong>History</strong>:<br/>Valerie's history starts before she was really born, her father went mad and joined the death eaters before the battle of Hogwarts, after Voldemort's fall he tried to recruit the remnants of the organization to reform the group. To prove that he had the will to lead he killed the woman who gave birth of his daughter the same day she was born. She escaped due to a very farsighted madame who adopted Valerie. Her father was killed shortly after for his crimes.<br/><br/>The next 17 years were focused on being trained by the madame by being homeschooled. Valarie didn't have much life outside of her studies, most bored her things like math and history never appealed to her however she excelled in her secondary training of the madame's specialty politics and espionage. The madame would often take Valerie to big events where she could watch the political of nations and corporations play out, since she was young she was barely noticed and no one tells the madame who can or can't be at her side.<br/><br/>When she was twelve she was given her father's wand, it has always been something that has caused some moral quandary in herself, since its Aspen it means that her father was a revolutionary like her and she sometimes wonders where he went astray. After getting the wand she immediately began learning how to control it and showed skill at dueling. Her invitation to Hogwarts was completely expected and was only seen as an opportunity to become more skilled.<br/><strong>Likes</strong>: Wizards Chess, Dueling, Revolutionary Ideas, Codes and Encryptions<br/><strong>Dislikes</strong>: The arrogance of those in power, abusive leaders, almonds, incompetence<br/><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Getting congratulated by Madame on graduating her school. Her revenge on the boys from the party, she systematically destroyed their reputations by using the madames girls to catch them in compromising positions, then anonymously releasing the evidence to the papers.<br/><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Making a scene at a large political party. There were some boys trying to hit on her and were being very aggressive so she slapped them. The boys happened to be the sons of influential people who were appalled. Madame Beaumont required her to apologize and later beat her with a flog for her stupidity. Afterwards she said "If you want revenge you do it quietly, rage is a luxury you can't afford when dealing with these characters."<br/><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong>Not getting the chance to kill her father herself.<br/><strong>Extra-curricular activities:</strong>Dueling Club, Chess Club.
