<div class="floatright">   (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42499880/Elliquiy/Vidya_f.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Vidya Ayers<br/><strong>Nationality: </strong>Irish<br/><strong>Pureblood</strong>Established family<br/><strong>Age:</strong>17<br/><strong>Year:</strong>4th<br/><strong>House:</strong>Slytherin<br/><strong>Distinguishing Features:</strong>A striking girl of mixed Indian and Irish decent, Vidya is stands at a rather short five feet, three inches, but seems infused with an energy that makes her presence quite commanding when she wants it to be. Her eyes are a deep brown, and her black hair falls to mid-back in soft waves. Her skin is a light shade of golden brown, and beneath a slightly oversized school sweater she seems to be quite busty.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>To most at Hogwarts, both students and staff, Vidya is a friendly but rather lackadaisical student, not really someone who would stand out in a crowd. At her core, however, Vidya is driven by curiosity and nothing thrills her like exploration. With the extensive repairs and renovations Hogwarts has undergone in the wake of the battle with Voldemort's forces she's taken it upon herself to explore and map the school and grounds, both those areas available to students and, more eagerly, the places she's forbidden from going. She takes the fact that no one has concrete proof of her trespassing as a testament to her skill, and though she's known among certain circles (mostly those who view the rules more as suggestions than anything) as someone who knows her way around a dark hallway she's perfectly content being an unknown.<br/>Though highly intelligent, Vidya tends to be an incredibly lazy student. She can be a highly focused, dedicated worker when she finds something she's passionate about, but the trouble is Vidya's passion lies in the unknown. The well-trodden roads of standard schoolwork don't hold her attention for long. A few select teachers have seen the blood, sweat, and tears she pours into less standard work, but most write her off as just another lazy underachiever. She has little patience for "silly wizard squabbles" as she calls everything from overly intense inter-house rivalries to blood purist bile, and often goes out of her way to disrupt such conflicts.<br/><strong>Background:</strong>Vidya was born to the youngest children of two prominant wizarding families; the Ayres of Ireland and the Darzi family of India. The younger of two siblings, Vidya's older sister did little to ease the already prodigious expectations piled on the young witch's shoulders. Though she only spent 4 years at Hogwarts, Rani Ayers quickly rocketed to the top of the social strata through a combination of raw charisma and exceptional quidditch skills. Those same three years were young Vidya's first at a real magical school; while she spent much of her first year seething in envy, she eventually realized that being over-looked by staff and students alike gave her ample opportunity to get into mischief without being caught and she embraced her lack of notoriety.<br/>Though born in Ireland, Vidya spent several years of her childhood in India and attended primary school there in light of Hogwarts' entry age changes. In 2002, a year after her quidditch-prodigy sister transferred to Hogwarts, Vidya's parents enrolled her in the school, banking on the its reputation and long history to overcome its current strife.<br/>[Post-enrollment background to be added later]<br/><strong>Interesting fact:</strong>Though she doesn't attend many matches at Hogwarts, Vidya is an avid quidditch fan. She collects Jalandhar Djinns merchendice; her older sister plays Chaser or them.<br/><strong>Wand:</strong>14.5" Vine (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Vine), Ashwinder Egg shell core, quite swishy<br/>From the notes of Amala Darzi:<em>Practically unheard of in western europe and still quite unusual in this particular wand's native India, Ashwinder egg shells are rarely used by wand makers due to their strange and often unpredictable nature. Seemingly weak at first, many witches and wizards shun ashwinder egg shell wands due to a perceived lack of power, though contrary to common perception they can be phenomenally powerful when in the hands of a wielder who knows it well. Much like ashwinders themselves, wands with their egg shells at their core excel at quiet, subtle work such as charms but can produce highly destructive spells when their owners are cornered. Each shell core wand varies greatly from the next, as their already unwieldly nature reacts strongly to the wand wood with which it is paired, amplifying both the negative and positive qualities of the wood. </em><br/><strong>Pet:</strong>None, but would like an owl or some other bird<br/><br/><strong>Agility:</strong>4<br/><strong>Athletics:</strong>2 - Climb 1b, Run 1b<br/><strong>Awareness:</strong>3 - Notice 1b<br/><strong>Cunning:</strong>3<br/><strong>Deception:</strong>2<br/><strong>Endurance:</strong>2<br/><strong>Fighting:</strong>2<br/><strong>Magical Expertise:</strong>3 - Charms 1b<br/><strong>Magical Projection:</strong>4 - Charms 1b<br/><strong>Marksmanship:</strong>2<br/><strong>Persuasion:</strong>3<br/><strong>Reflexes:</strong>3<br/><strong>Status:</strong>2 - Rumor 1b<br/><strong>Stealth:</strong>4 - Sneak 1b, Open Lock 1b<br/><strong>Will:</strong>3<br/><br/><br/><strong>Classes:</strong><br/>Majors (Care of Magical Creatures, Potions) 3<br/>Minors (Herbology, Divination, Astronomy) 3<br/>Others (History of Magic, Ancient Runes, Arithmancy, Muggle studies) 2<br/><br/><strong>Destiny Points:</strong><br/>1 available, 2 invested [Night Eyes Quality]<br/><br/><strong>Qualties:</strong><br/>Night Eyes, Furtive<br/><br/><strong>Drawbacks:</strong><br/>Sleep Deprived<br/>
