Lean, slender constitution, a small chest, very long legs.  <br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Charlize is likely to never be found standing alone. Always a small group around her, always in the middle of a crowd, among friends – which never seem to lack in number – or chatting casually with her teachers. Basically everyone seems to like her and she seems to love everyone. While not probably the most popular student at Hogwarts, Charlize is definitely amongst the privileged. Talkative, spontaneous, the life of the party, always in a good disposition. Not much of an athlete and also less fond of studying, she compensates through humor, charm and oratorical speech. One of her best qualities is the gift of storytelling and sometimes she tends to relate events in a better light than it actually happened.  <br/><strong>Background: </strong>There isn’t much to tell about her family, except that she has two loving parents and no siblings. Her closest friend is actually her cousin, a non-magic who now works at Gringotts.  <br/><strong>Interesting fact:</strong> Charlize is very fond of cute, small pets, but strangely frightened by anything not fitting into this category. Large animals and even medium sized ones are to be avoided at all times, according to her mindset. <br/><strong>WAND:</strong> Ash Wood, Length 15 1/4 inches, Veela hair core<br/><strong>Pet:</strong>none<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">CHARLIZE IN NUMBERS</div><div class="spoiler_body">Agility: 2<br/>Animal handling: 2<br/>Athletics: 2<br/>Awareness: 3  - Empathy: Determine true intentions 1<br/>Cunning: 3      - Memory: Recall useful information when the time is needed 1<br/>Deception: 3    - Disguise:  Concealing ones identity visually 1<br/>Endurance: 3   - Fortitude:  A chance to resist spells 1<br/>Fighting: 2<br/>Knowledge: 2<br/>Magical Expertise: 3<br/>Magical Projection: 4<br/>Magical Studies: 3  - Defense Against the Dark Arts 1<br/>Marksmanship: 2<br/>Persuasion: 4           - Charm 1, Convince 1<br/>Reflexes: 3<br/>Status: 3     - Reputation: you are able to make yourself seem and appear more important then your actual position warrants 1<br/>Stealth: 2<br/>Will: 4 <br/><br/><strong>Qualities </strong><br/>Charismatic:  Choose a Persuasion Specialty, gain +2 bonus to all tests with that Specialty.

It's still a matter of time from her point of view until they become friends.<br/><br/>Charlize and Gilda: the 6th year student is somewhat of an example for Charlize, albeit her intimidating nature - only because she's from the Slytherin House. <br/><br/>Charlize and Xavril: although the "bad boy" look might hold some kind of appeal, Charlize tends to avoid meeting Xavril in any way she can. After hearing about his wolf form she decided to stay away from the Slytherin group of 6th year students.<br/><br/>Charlize and Alphonse: from her point of view, Alphonse is one of the most interesting students at Hogwarts and would surely like to befriend him even more than they are at the moment, albeit her irrational fear of wild creatures, including Al's familiar Mori.<br/><br/>Charlize and Gustav: the 6th year Slytherin is anything but familiar to Charlize. She views him as a good scholar, but lacking the social skills she thinks are ought to be mandatory.<br/><br/>Charlize and Daria: although the girl seems to be a real troublemaker, Charlize really likes that part of her and also everything else from Daria's personality. They could become really good friends if they disregard their houses' rivalry.<br/><br/>Charlize and Danner: probably about to become friends, she likes his personality and would probably ask him for help in dealing with animals.  </div></div></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Group of friends for Charlize (NPC)</div><div class="spoiler_body"> <br/><br/><strong>Sarah Howls– 6th year Gryffindor </strong>, close friend to both Charlize and Richard Summerby (notable NPC).  Her strong points in matters of classes would be Astronomy (she has a tendency to base every argument on the position of the stars) and Ancient Runes.  Personality-wise, Sarah is a shy person, the kind which speaks only when asked. Probably that’s why she hangs around Charlize because with her there is never a quiet moment.<br/><br/><strong>Charlie Mullins– 4th year Ravenclaw.</strong>  They sit next to eachother in Transfigurations and Charms classes. Charlie is the first one to tell jokes during breaks and he certainly tries his best to amuse everyone from the group. A bit of a party animal as well, he likes Charlize more than he shows. <br/><br/><strong>Serena Altwood – 4th year Hufflepuff </strong>, the oldest member of the gang, basically one of the co-founders (along with Charlize) Serious, study-driven, has the habit of speaking her mind without any real concern for what others think of it. You cross her, you get the cold shoulder.  Very good at offering advice from an objective point of view – you don’t come to her for a shoulder to cry on, you come to her if you want a solution to your problem.<br/><br/><strong>Richard Blackthorne – 6th year Hufflepuff </strong>. He comes from a very long line of purebloods and is probably the only one which Charlize likes as a Prefect. Richard is a haughty type of guy, although he’s quite balanced emotionally. Rarely talks to others about his private life and is famed for leaving a trail of brokenhearts behind him. Views Charlize as an equal due to her social skills and probably the only girl suitable to be his friend. There is no romance involved in their relationship, they respect eachother as competitors for social domination. <br/><br/><strong>Richard Summerby (notable NPC) - (Gryffindor)-6th year </strong> – the friend of a friend (Sarah Howls), Richard is the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team and Charlize is (or thinks that she is) iremediably in love with him. </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Basil Brancoveanu</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Basil Brancoveanu<br/><strong>Nationality:</strong> Romanian<br/><strong>Muggleborn</strong> <br/><strong>Age:</strong> 19<br/><strong>Year:</strong> 6th<br/><strong>Birthday: 14th October (Libra)<br/><strong>Classes:</strong> Potions, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Care of Magical Creatures, Astronomy<br/><strong>O.W.L.

Broad shoulders, fairly tall, stands out in a crowd. His muscles are not very toned, but well defined, shows signs of a beer belly. Has a strange habit to always stand, almost never sits. Hair colour: brown, has a buzz cut. Eye colour: green. <br/><strong>Skin tone:</strong> fair.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong> not a very talkative person, likes to keep to himself. He suffers from the “new guy complex”, feeling like he doesn’t fit anywhere except when he’s on the soccer field or in training. Usually he shows a very disciplined, army-type behaviour and acts extremely friendly only when huge amounts of alcohol are involved. He really likes to drink and is rather enjoying it than being addicted. <br/><strong>Background: </strong>born and raised in the Romanian fields, Basil is the eldest child of five and the son of a sheperd. He discovered his magical talents at the age of nine, when a wolf attacked his father’s herd. His grandmother saw young Basil throwing a stick in the air which caught fire instantly and she knew he had <em>the blessing</em>. She was the village exorcist and main healer. Her passion and knowledge of healing herbs and potions was passed on to Basil. <br/><strong>Interesting fact:</strong> Basil is actually very religious, although he’s seen more as an occultist in the school than a good athlete. Probably due to his romanian heritage, where curses and demonical possesions seem to fill the folklore. <br/><strong>WAND:</strong> Snakewood, Ebony, Maple ,16 1/4 inches, Dragon heartstring, Warped<br/><strong>Familiar:</strong> a stray, mangy tomcat called “Jerry”<br/><strong>Quidditch position:</strong> Beater <br/><br/></strong><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> BASIL IN NUMBERS</div><div class="spoiler_body">Agility: 3                  *Acrobatics: Perform flips, tumbles, balance, somersaults 1<br/>Animal handling: 2 <br/>Athletics: 4              *Strength: Aids in tests where physical strength is required 1<br/>                              *Throw: Used for objects not designed to be thrown 1<br/>Awareness:2  <br/>Cunning: 2     <br/>Deception: 2  <br/>Endurance: 3         *Stamina: Better chance to recover from injuries and wounds 1<br/>Fighting: 4             *Unarmed 1<br/>Knowledge: 2<br/>Magical Expertise: 2<br/>Magical Projection: 3<br/>Magical Studies: 3    *Potions 1<br/>Marksmanship: 2<br/>Persuasion: 2           <br/>Reflexes: 4<br/>Status: 2     <br/>Stealth: 2<br/>Will: 3<br/><br/><br/><strong>Qualities </strong><br/>Talented*: Choose an Ability, gain +1 for all tests with that Ability (Fighting)<br/>Lucky: Once per in game week OR once per chapter, whichever comes first, reroll one test, take the best result.<br/><br/><strong>Disadvantages</strong><br/>Alcoholic: When faced with a troubling situation, must make a Formidable (12) Will test, or turn to alcohol (or drugs) to calm your nerves.  While intoxicated, you have a -2 penalty to all tests.  If you are in a place where alcohol is readily available, you become roaring drunk and have a -2D penalty.  Penalties remain until you get a good night's sleep.  Each hour of sleep, make a Challenging (9) Endurance test.  Success reduces the penalty by 1 (3 reductions equal 1D).  If no alcohol is available within the hour of failing the test, you go into withdrawal and suffer a -1D penalty.  You also must make a Hard (15) Will test to resist any readily available alcoholic drink.  This drawback may be substituted for another addictive drug.<br/><br/><strong>Derived Stats</strong><br/>Intrigue Defense =  4<br/>Composure = 9<br/>Combat Defense =  7<br/>Health = 9<br/>Passive resistance = 12/12<br/>Damage = 3 (armed)/ 2 (unarmed)<br/>Movement=  4<br/>Sprint = 16 </div></div> <br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Basil with others</div><div class="spoiler_body"> <br/>Basil - 6th year, Hufflepuff, Beater<br/><br/>Basil and Danner: doesn't really know the guy, he just knows that he's very good with magical creatures and sometimes gets to mix him up with Alphonse....this will probably change.<br/><br/>Basil and Daria: he really tries to get along with everyone, with Daria he just has a little more trouble understanding that mischievious part of her. They might understand each other a lot better if the context allows it or brings them together as allies.<br/><br/>Basil and Gustav - different Houses, same year, they share a few classes and a few similar personality traits (they are both outsiders). Perhaps they'll get to discuss cultural differences and various other topics. Basil is more the physical type, Gustav is on the "brainy" side.<br/><br/>Basil and Alphonse: more details after they get to know eachother better, it's still not clear to him what's the deal with Al.<br/><br/>Basil and Xavril: clearly on opposing teams - Basil respects order and discipline while Xavril is too wild for his moral scale. Given his history with wolves back when he was a kid, this is just another reason for Basil to not really like the guy.<br/><br/>Basil and Gilda: he's not really sure what to make of her. On one side she's very attractive and seems friendly enough, on the other she's from Slytherin and he has no idea how to act around her. Kinda sees her as a "power-girl".<br/><br/>Basil and Vexa: a strong feeling of infatuation over the ethereal beauty, he would really love to have the guts to talk with her more often. Unconsciounsly Basil seeks every chance to be around her. He thinks her beauty resembles the Iele's appearance. <br/><br/>Charlize and Basil: from their first meeting somewhere in Hogsmeade, Charlize believes it's her duty to get Basil some friends..or at least more into the "meainstream". So far she only managed to bring him closer to her group, with which he occasionally spends some time when not on the field practising, and also to annoy the hell out of him quite often, forcing Basil to slightly avoid her whenever he can. He is really fond of her however, regarding Charlize as the annoying little sister he never had. </div></div></div></div><br/><br/>
