(Please note that NO students have a working patronus)<br/>  It's a dragon!  A t'ien-lung, to be precise.<br/><br/>- What is a good way to describe the personality of your character?<br/>  Laid-back, (annoyingly?) informal, basically friendly, quite oblivious to the importance<br/>  of lineage, and possessed of a child-like sense of wonder at her new abilities.<br/><br/>- What is your character's lineage (short parental background)?<br/>  Layne has no real idea, and neither do her parents.  She's adopted.<br/><br/>- Summarize a short history of your character's life before Hogwarts.<br/>  Layne is, as her favorite tee shirt announces, Chinese by birth but Scottish(-American) by<br/>  adoption.  As is usually the case, her Chinese heritage is a complete mystery to everyone. <br/>  Her adoptive parents are a slightly odd pair who have raised her to be fairly open-minded<br/>  and curious about the world, imaginative, and slightly loopy.  Her schooling to date has<br/>  been mostly smooth sailing, with occasional bumps and butting heads with overly serious<br/>  faculty and administrators, but Layne has stayed largely out of trouble.  She came to stay<br/>  with her mother's kinfolk in Scotland for a year of high school.  After she got caught in<br/>  the sudden wave of squib activations, she was coaxed into staying here for a while instead<br/>  of returning home to America.<br/><br/>- Why was your character sorted into her house?<br/>  She's a Hufflepuff by default--not chivalrous enough for Gryffindor, studious enough for<br/>  Ravenclaw, or ambitious enough for Slytherin.<br/><br/>- Most importantly -- for students, your character was considered a squib until the onset<br/>  of their 18th birthday, when suddenly the magic within them 'erupted'. This was oftentimes<br/>  a very major, sometimes traumatic experience. Describe yours, in as much detail as you<br/>  desire.<br/><br/>  Layne's trigger event was not traumatic...for Layne.  She was more fascinated than scared,<br/>  anyway.  Who knew that gesturing dramatically and saying the magic word (in this case,<br/>  Shazam!) would actually cause lightning to strike out of a clear blue sky?  Always willing<br/>  to test a novel idea, she did it again.  And again.  And again.  It cleared the golf course<br/>  of people in a big hurry and attracted a lot of attention from people with wands and pointy<br/>  hats.  She has been very careful not to say the 'S-word' since, just in case.<br/><br/>Additional Notes:<br/><br/>1) Layne has a deep-seated love of classic Warner Brothers cartoons, Japanese animation,<br/>   and role-playing games.  Her peculiar style of conversation reflects this...and people<br/>   who can't keep up often feel very confused.<br/>2) She has a few problems 'getting' the whole pureblood/muggle thing.  It makes no sense to<br/>   her whatsoever, and she tries her best to ignore it.  She also doesn't really 'get' the<br/>   whole House rivalry thing, either, and Quidditch is an utter mystery as far as she's<br/>   concerned.<br/>3) Through no fault of her own (she's American), she tends to use and abuse the Queen's<br/>   English on a regular basis.</pre>
