				<strong>name:</strong> Lily Luna Potter<br><strong>age:</strong> 21<br><strong>gender:</strong> Female<br><strong>race:</strong> Witch<br><strong>Blood Status:</strong> Pure Blood<br><strong>position:</strong> Student<br><strong>Signature Spell:</strong> Expecto Patronum - Lily's is a winged mare.<br><strong>Wand:</strong> 10 and ¾ inch Willow with a unicorn tail hair at its core.<br><strong>mirror, mirror on the wall:</strong> Taking a little after her Weasley side of her family tree, Lily (http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/ad179/sprinkletinkle/isla_fisher.jpg) has medium length, red hair. While growing up she did have a fine spray of freckles across her nose and cheeks, but as she had gotten older, and much to her elation they have faded. She stands at 5'7'' and weighs approximately 120lbs.<br><strong>in my heart of hearts:</strong> <br><br><strong>Friendly</strong> – I have a lot of different kinds of friends and I love spending time with all of them even if I have to do it at different times. Not all of my friends get along together and belong to different social cliques. I wish it wasn’t like this because I think people could be a lot happier if they didn’t worry about rubbish like social status. This is especially true now that I am an adult. I associate with whomever I please and however I please and no one is going to tell me to do otherwise.<br><br><strong>Blunt</strong> – This is something that I guess I get from my mother. I always say what is on my mind. If I might say something that could hurt someone else’s feelings I do try to find a way of saying it so as not to wound them. I don’t know about you but I think people would do better if they knew that truth. It might not always be the nicest thing to hear but you can’t grow without knowing what needs to change. I do admit though, sometimes my tendency to be frank has gotten people mad at me. I have had more than one row over voicing my opinion and it wouldn’t be the first time I was called opinionated instead of blunt.<br><br><strong>Brave</strong> – Or courageous? Foolhardy? I’ve heard all of those things. I know I have some guts. It wouldn’t do to be a scaredy-cat who constantly said things that might get herself into trouble would it? My father says I’m a lot like his mum because I don’t mind one bit telling a bully off. I don’t understand why bullies are what they are anyways. What’s with all of this pureblood, half-blood, mudblood junk anyways? It’s just another excuse to be a bully if you ask my opinion. <br><br><strong>Brash</strong> – Another one of those “B” words for me! I admit it, while at Hogwarts I received at least one Howler a year for flapping my gums when I supposedly ought to have stayed quiet. <br><br><strong>Stylish!</strong> – I'm afraid this is something of a vice at this point in my life. I know my parents would have liked to see me grow out of my obsession with muggle fashion. Didn't happen. Yes, I'm a self-admitted shop-a-holic and if you don't like it you can bite it. I'll leave it to you to guess just what <em>it</em> is.<br><br><strong>my dark past:</strong> So I was born in September which is also during my favorite time of year. I’m basically the baby of the family and the only girl too. My mom was also the only girl and she said she was glad in a way because it made her tough. I have to agree with her sentiment though because after growing up with my two older brothers, I feel as though I can outwit and confound just about any man I come into contact with.<br><br>When I was really small I didn’t notice all of the attention my mum and dad got whenever we were out and about. But when I got older I realized that a lot of people just seemed to stare at us. That’s around the time that Mum fessed up about dad and what had happened when he was just a baby with You-Know-Who. She also told me about You-Know-Who’s return and how all of Hogwarts had to fight him and his Death Eaters off. She said Dad was amazing with how he faced You-Know-Who. After I heard the story, I understood why Dad got so much attention. He never has seemed to like it but at first I have to admit that I thought it was pretty neat. Then, after a while I saw why he didn’t like it because sometimes those scheming reporters from the Daily Prophet will post some random story about my dad. Most of the time they’re full of lies. I've only ever just wanted to be me and have never let my father's life dictate how I should be in my own.<br><br>I can’t complain about my childhood though. I have a huge extended family and I have always loved my Grandmother Molly and Papa Arthur. Growing up, my family had many get-togethers and I think we were all pretty tightly knit. One of the most enormously entertaining things was being confused with my cousins from the Weasley side of the family. People were often quick to assume the direct relation simply because of my red hair. Silly.<br>

				<strong>name:</strong> Kutseena (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/SoaringDragon/RPG%20Characters/tumblr_lxcg15Mt0T1qdhje7o1_400_zpsc5243dfe.jpg) and Inali (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/SoaringDragon/RPG%20Characters/tumblr_mbdjddwsiv1rw6xrjo1_1280_zps2853c7d7.jpg) Sia<br><strong>age:</strong> 18 (two days after the First day of school)<br><strong>gender:</strong> Female / Male<br><strong>race:</strong> Native American (Comanche)<br><strong>Blood Status:</strong> Half Blood<br><strong>position:</strong> Student<br><strong>Signature Spell:</strong> <strong>Her:</strong> Apparition and Variants / <strong>Him:</strong> Fire Whip<br><strong>Wand:</strong> <strong>Her:</strong> Rowan/Coyote Fur/Seven and a quarter inches / <strong>Him:</strong> Hawthorne/Kit Fox Fur/Seven and a quarter inches<br><br><strong>mirror, mirror on the wall:</strong> Kutseena stands at about five foot five inches, and weighs in at a whopping one hundred and twenty-one pounds. She dresses in Traditional Native American style outfits of both sexes and dependent on mood. Any jewelry she wears will be of Native American design, and will usually have blue turquoise in it as well. Yes, she wears the Eagle feathers too and the blue stripe under her eyes.<br><br>Inali stands at about five foot eleven inches and weighs in about roughly one hundred and forty-nine pounds. Like his twin sister, he tends to dress in Native American Traditional clothes, though he sticks to the male versions. He too wears the feather, and his hair is long. Any jewelery he wears will also be in Native American design.<br><br><strong>in their heart of hearts:</strong> At first Kutseena and Inali are quiet and reserved. Outwardly they seems stand offish and haughty. This is actually far from the truth for either of them. Amongst their people though, when they first meet strangers they adopt a stoic stance and what many call a “Stone Face” expression. They are watching and gauging the new people and learning what they can about them. After all, in the past, the Pale Faces have never dealt fairly with The People.<br><br>Both have sharp quick minds. If she’s interested enough, she can excel amazingly well in a subject. If she’s not interested, she usually doesn’t bother beyond being able to pass. A major frustration to some of her Instructors. Unlike his Twin, Inali, whether he likes a subject or not, will excel at it. Coming from a Race of people that had to be hyper aware of their surroundings in order to survive, they are also very observant and very little misses their notice, especially when they are together. <br><br>Once Kutseena decides you are friend, the person will quickly learn that she smiles often, and has a sharp humour. While they don’t laugh often, when they do one can tell it comes from the gut. She’s been known for a practical joke now and again, nothing that will cause harm or put one in danger, but still can be rather embarrassing or painful to the one receiving it. Among their People, a practical joke is a test of Character and how well you can laugh at yourself. Inali usually takes a bit longer than Kutseena to warm up to people, and his smile seems more condescending then her open one. Like he knows some private joke he has no intentions of sharing. He’s more than happy to join her in any practical jokes and vice versa, though his practical jokes can be a bit darker than hers, usually resulting in some minor harm, nothing permanent, or deadly, rest assured. Both are Bisexual.<br><br><strong>their dark past:</strong> Kutseena and Inali come from a Pure Blood Mother and a Muggle Father, thus making them Half Bloods, though they are full blooded Comanche. Their Father holds a mundane Muggle job as the CEO of the Tribe’s gambling casinos, while their Mother is the Medicine Woman and Shaman of the Tribe on the Reservation. <br><br>At a young age thier Magic manifested with the ability of Animal Speak. They can understand and converse with any animal, four footed, winged, or crawling. This does not include swimmers or bugs though. It was no surprise when Kutseena and Inali got their Letters of Acceptance to the Salem Witches Institute. Both their parents were proud, and their Mother fully expected Kutseena to follow in her footsteps to become the next Medicine Woman, and Inali to become the next Shaman. With the opening of Dragonclaw ten years ago though, it wasn’t going to happen. While at Salem Witches Institute, Kutseena learned of the Apparition Spell and was rather good at it. She practiced it long and hard to perfect it, and then moved on to a variant of the Spell that allowed her to transport others. She sees the Spell as handy for all manner of things. While Inali found the Fire Whip Spell. Seeing a practical use both Offensively as well as Defensively, he has mastered this Spell with some interesting results.<br><br>Their Father supports them in their choices and is happy for his children to spread their wings by going to Dragonclaw and seeing what they could become. It is a wonderful opportunity, and a way for them to become something more than their parents. Their Mother on the other hand is not so supportive, after all her family has been the Wise Ones of the Tribe for hundreds of generations. It was good enough for them, it is good enough for Kutseena and Inali. Needless to say, Mother and Children are a bit estranged. <br><br>Both parents are a bit worried about the stirrings that has been heard about from across the Pond. While Voldemort and his Terror didn’t really touch the Wizarding Community in the Americas, The two times he rose to Power was watched very closely. While their parents trusts that they can take care of themselves and keep each other from harm, their Mother tries to use past history and the Prophesy as an argument for staying here and being the next Wise Ones to the tribe. Never mind there are others willing to take up that role.<br><br><strong>On a side note</strong>, Native Americans take a different view to the Wizarding World. Unlike the Whites, who hide the Magic from their Muggle counterparts, Native Americans do not. Wizard and Muggle mix and live together. More often than not, you can over hear a conversation about some Witch or Wizard talking about a spell or potion to a Native Muggle as you would to hear them talk about the weather.<br><br><br><strong>Player Note:</strong> When they speak in Comanche, I will be using maroon and <em>italics</em> for the words. English wili be normal type.

				<strong>Name:</strong> Kiran Reed<br><strong>Age:</strong> 22<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><strong>Race:</strong> Human / Caucasian<br><strong>Blood Status:</strong> Half-Blood<br><strong>Position:</strong> Student<br><br><strong>Signature Spell:</strong> <em>Arc Bolt</em>, nicknamed "Thor's Hammer" among most that are familiar with the spell, causes a powerful bolt of lightning to shoot from the caster's wand at the target. It can arc around objects, providing a solid offence against opponents using solid objects as shields or to simply try and catch them off guard with a flanking manoeuvre. Proper arcing requires great finesse though, so full mastery of the spell is limited to a small pool of dedicated and talented wizards and witches who took the time and effort to master it.<br><br>Is also familiar with nonverbal spellcasting and has trained himself to a level where he can cast many of the spells he uses frequantly in duels without uttering a word.<br><br><strong>Wand:</strong> 9 and ¼ inches, Birch with a Chimera Scale core.<br><br><strong>Mirror, mirror on the wall:</strong> <strong>Kiran</strong> (http://imageshack.us/a/img820/9101/f9wlyhe6l9d5ylef.jpg) stands tall at six feet and two inches and possesses a toned, well trained figure. His hair is dark and unruly and his eyes a silvery blue.<br><br><strong>In my heart of hearts:</strong> Kiran is one of those people who never seem to run out of juice, especially when it concerns their greatest passion. With an optimistic and straight forward personality, he rarely lets anything get him down, instead viewing it as an opportunity for improvement and challenge to better himself. While very open and positive in nature, he is by no means naive and often very aware of his surroundings and his current situation.<br><br>Because of his training and experience in dueling he can keep a cool head in a fight and is thus unlikely to panic, even in dire situations. While not as knowledgeable as certain other people, he is quick to think on his feet and adapt to situations, where possible.<br><br><strong>My dark past:</strong> Pressured from a young age to succeed in life, young Kiran entered Hogwarts wondering early on what to do with his life. He wandered from hobby to hobby, never really finding something that could hold his interest. It was not until the summer before his fourth year that he found his true calling while attending an international dueling tournament in France with a friend. Instantly enticed by the fast pace and often ingenious spellweaving of professional duelers, he decided to make the world title his life's goal.<br><br>From that point on he began dedicating almost every spare moment he had to studying, practicing and improving his fighting skills. Noting the sudden change in their child, his parents, a pair of successful business entrepreneurs in the potions branch, supported him by buying him various books and training equipment.<br><br>After graduating from Hogwarts at the age of seventeen, Kiran made his debut in the amateur dueling scene. Gaining quite a few matches from the get-go, he soon caught the public's eye with his talent and upbeat personality. Within three years he had managed to work his way into the European top ten of the amateur league <del>&nbsp; &nbsp;</del> an amazing feat for a rookie with only self taught skills. This caught the eye of a talent scout for the Norwich Nightmares, a high ranking dueling team competing on a world-wide level. However, because of new rules and regulations in the professional league, Kiran is required to have the proper papers before he is allowed to compete. This lead him to Dragonsclaw University of Wizardry and Magic, where he now studies the finer arts of dueling and magic in general in order to claim his place as professional dueler.

				<strong>name</strong>: Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy.<br><br><strong>age</strong>: 23.<br><br><strong>gender</strong>: Male. <br><br><strong>race:</strong> Human. <br><br><strong>Blood Status</strong>: Pureblood. <br><br><strong>position</strong>: Student.<br><br><strong>Signature Spell</strong>: Serpensortia / Parseltongue <br><br><strong>Wand</strong>: 12 1/2 Inches, Phoenix Feather core, Yew wood. <br><br><strong>mirror, mirror on the wall</strong>: Picture. (https://si0.twimg.com/profile_images/3246431815/e9cab590a49c275ec4366b68312803f1.jpeg)<br><br>Standing at 6'1, he's considerably taller than his father was at his age. From his mother's side, his father always speculated. His eyes are crystal blue, and his body is toned and muscular. His back and arms are covered with one, large Tattoo. (See here: Tattoo. (http://24.media.tumblr.com/c036d07875791e4b2d01ed7ade696163/tumblr_mj78sgcDBw1s7bi7oo1_500.jpg)) <br><br><strong>in my heart of hearts</strong>:<br>&nbsp;Due to a reputation that followed him pretty much wherever he went, Scorpius has always been thrown in the spot light. Though many wish for such stardom, the kind that Scorpius received was not what most would desire, and that is why he finds himself now unable to attach to someone or something for very long. Scorpius is arrogant and playful, known for his talent to toy with people and manipulate them. He's broken more hearts than he can count, and yet people still gravitate towards him. He walks a thin line between being a snarky, yet still lovable friend to an outright asshole. It all depends on who he's interacting with. He's friendly enough to the people he finds intelligent, and flirty enough to the people he finds attractive. With him, it's definitely proceed with caution. <br><br><strong>my dark past:</strong> <br>His father's name is rather infamous, and being called a traitor and an asshole throughout his life didn't do too well for Scorpius' self esteem as a child. The followers of the dark lord called him and his family weak, traitors for failing the dark lord. All the others called them scum, horrible for taking the side of such an evil wizard. The boy couldn't really catch a break, but didn't turn into a sheltered little weakling like so many others. Instead, he molded himself to become unscathed by such comments. If someone made fun of him, he'd make fun back and turn the crowd to his side. If they tried to beat him with physicality, he triumphed over them. If they tried to use magic, he out preformed them. With that mindset, he became better than all his peers growing up and gathered what people would call an entourage. People followed him because no one seemed to be able to bring Scorpius down. To himself, he promised to become better than both his parents and the people that beat them down, the Potters. Whether he falls on the side of good...or becomes better than his family at manipulating the dark arts, is still unknown to him.

				<strong>name:</strong> Albus Severus Potter<br><strong>age:</strong>23<br><strong>gender: </strong>Male<br><strong>race:</strong> Human<br><strong>Blood Status:</strong> Pure Blood <strong>position:</strong> Student<br>&nbsp;<strong>Signature Spell:</strong> An astonishing natural talent for potion making<br><strong>Wand:</strong> 13in/Black Walnut/dragon heartstring core<br><strong>mirror, mirror on the wall:</strong> <br>A thin, hollow youth, Albus takes after his father in many ways. He shares the bright green eyes of his father and grandmother. His intense stare coupled with his height, 6ft 3in, gives him an intimidating look, although he walks awkwardly as if he never really got used to his growth spurt. His jet black hair is badly cut and sits messily on the top of his head, as if he always has something better to do then to tend to it. He is often seen wearing suits of darker colors, mostly black and dark green.<br>&nbsp;Picture (http://i.imgur.com/hPaSizJ.jpg)<br><br><strong>in my heart of hearts:</strong> <br>Albus has always been a troubled and insecure boy which he hides behind his serious exterior. Dealing with the tremendous burden of living up to the expectations of his parentage was not easy on him at all. In contrast to his parents and siblings Albus has always tended to be more reserved and thoughtful, carefully considering and calculating his actions. He is definitely not what you would expect from such a bright and happy family, but there are definitely shades of his fathers initially more reserved personality within him.<br><br>Albus is a caring individual and his inability to express this had made him incredibly lonely. He is awkward socially, abhorring all forms of small talk, and his few close friendships have arisen only because those certain people were patient and willing to get to know him. That being said, those who befriend Albus are rewarded with true loyalty. At the end of the day Albus craves connection with others and is pleasantly surprised when he finds it. Those who make an enemy of him might expect retribution at some point, but overall he is too rational for things like petty revenge. He has great ambition and intelligence and wishes to reform the wizarding world and bring it up to modern standards, and in that endeavor he will not let anyone or anything stand in his way.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>my dark past:</strong> <br>Albus Severus Potter has always been acutely aware of his father’s fame. From an early age people have expected great things from him, telling him tales of his father’s glory, and although his parents did everything they can to shield him they couldn't for long. Albus was set apart from an childhood. The first Slytherin in the family, there were whispers that he was a new Dark Lord from the moment he was sorted. Many were acutely disappointed to find that he was simply a hard working do gooder, more of a sullen version of his aunt Hermione then a budding Tom Riddle.<br><br>Albus Severus did his best to fit in and make friends, but he found a hard time of it, especially when it came to girls. He was socially and physically awkward, and terrible at Quidditch. But he did manage to make a few good friends along the way, recognizing that if he ever really wanted to fulfill his dream of becoming Minister of Magic, he would need to brush up on his social skills. Albus found his true magical skill to be the methodical craft of potions, something he seems to have inherited from his grandmother. After graduating from Hogwarts, Albus decided more education was for him, hoping he could have more time to build his own reputation rather than making a career in Wizard government based on his fathers name. In addition, he was hoping to meet more like minded people to soothe his loneliness.<br><br>Albus does not have many complaints about his life, he still belongs to an enthusiastic and loving family and although they do not understand his demeanor and attitude they still embrace him and love him for it. At the same time, he struggles to find his place in the world and among society, trying to build his own name for himself rather than being defined by the names that he bears. <br>

				<strong>name:</strong> Ted “Teddy” Remus Lupin<br><strong>age:</strong> 30(born April 1998)<br><strong>gender:</strong> Male<br><strong>race:</strong> Human<br><strong>Blood Status:</strong> Half Blood (grandfather was muggle born)<br><strong>position:</strong> Teacher<br><strong>Signature Spell:</strong> Metamorphmagus, Disapparate.<br>C.S.V. Crime Scene Vision: A spell of his own creation that allows to him to see what happened at the scene of a crime up to a week in the past.<br>Spell reflection charm: Adaptation of the blocking charm he uses when dueling (primarily criminals) to reflect their offensive spell back at them instead of just blocking them.<br><strong>Wand:</strong> 11", Unicorn hair, Willow<br><strong>mirror, mirror on the wall:</strong> Teddy (http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n534/MaidensElf/tumblr_l25xaph1bz1qbow3so1_500_zpsebceb0cd.png) <br>It has been suggested that Teddy's natural hair color is black, however as the story also goes it changed to ginger within an hour of his birth. To this day even he does not know what it really is. He usually wears it short and prefers bright vibrant rather unnatural colors usually being a rich purple. His eyes also are of unknown original coloration also tending towards rare colors his favorite being violet. His body and facial features he normally keeps to what he was born to be, a nice blending of his parents, both being small framed. As such he is normally fair skinned rather thin young man standing 5'9”.<br><strong>in my heart of hearts:</strong> <br>For the most part Teddy is a happy fun loving person. He is very outgoing eager to meet new people and make new friends. He definitely has a sense of humor although some people will think it is a bit odd. Very little actually gets him down and he can usually be found with a friendly smile on his face.<br><br>While Teddy did not inherit his father's affliction of being a werewolf he does however suffer a drastic emotional change during the three days surrounding the full moon. He becomes moody and edgy with a short temper and prefers to just be left alone during this time. His hair coloration tends be black or very dark brown during this time as well.<br><strong>my dark past:</strong> <br>Teddy is the only child of Nymphadora Tonks and Remus Lupin who both died when he was only a month old during the battle with Voldemort at Hogwarts. He was then raised by his maternal grandmother Andromeda Tonks with the help of his godfather Harry Potter. He was loved and had a happy childhood spending a lot of time with the Potter and Weasley families. As such he considers them and they him to simply be a part of those families.<br><br>Like most young witches and wizards Teddy had gotten a letter and started at Hogwarts when he was 11 years old. He did well in the school even becoming head boy in his seventh year.<br><br>After graduating from Hogwarts Harry gave him the Black house Number 12 Grimmauld Place as he had no other use for it. This is where Teddy lives to this day. Also after graduating he started an internship at the ministry as an auror working with his godfather, Harry Potter. In his work as an auror he studied many of the muggle means of tracking down criminals and has sought to bring forensics into the wizarding world of law enforcement.

				<strong>name:</strong> Astrid Henrietta Bishop<br><br><strong>age:</strong> 19<br><br><strong>gender:</strong> Female<br><br><strong>race:</strong> Witch<br><br><strong>Blood Status:</strong> Pure Blood<br><br><strong>position:</strong> Student<br><br><strong>Signature Spell:</strong> Animagus - Sparrow<br><br><strong>Wand:</strong> 11', Yew, Phoenix feather core<br><br><strong>status:</strong> Single<br><br><strong>mirror, mirror on the wall:</strong>http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae282/caela_ecub/Blondes/ts2.jpg (http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae282/caela_ecub/Blondes/ts2.jpg)<br>Astrid stands at a petite 5'2 in her bare feet. She compensates for that with force of personality and a plethora of spiked heels to make herself seem taller. Golden hair falls in gentle waves to near the middle of her back and frames a kind and open face with dark green eyes framed by, naturally, sooty lashes that mascara always promises but never seems to give. With a straight nose and soft, kissable lips, she has what her mother always called, "classic beauty". Despite her petite stature there is nothing about Astrid that seems "short". Her body is in perfect proportion with toned legs, a firm behind, flat stomach and perky breasts just large enough to require a bra under most tops.<br><br><strong>in my heart of hearts:</strong> Astrid is, mostly, a sweet girl with a love of learning and thirst for knowledge. She can get caught up in a new subject and lose track of the world around her almost entirely. When you can snap her away from her books, however, you find that she is friendly, open, chatty, and almost always ready for some form of entertainment. She'll help with practical jokes but only if she believes them to be funny, not cruel, and is one of the most loyal of friends you could ask for. What few people ever see is the temper she manages to hide behind her sunny exterior. It takes a lot to set it off, but if you harm someone she loves, she'll be patient, and dogmatic, in making sure you pay for it.<br><br><strong>my dark past:</strong> Astrid's past isn't dark in the least. Born to a minor Witch family (both her parents worked as low level Clerks within the Ministry) she grew up with loving parents and there was no doubt that she would receive her letter and attend Hogwarts. From a young age she showed a propensity for transfiguration and potion-making, often able to improvise in either to dramatic effect so it was no surprise to her teachers (or her parents) when she became the youngest Ravenclaw in her class to learn to become an Animagus and one of the proudest moments of her her young life was when she was registered as a Sparrow.<br><br>Having excelled in her studies at Hogwarts, she still had no idea what she really wanted to do with her life and was thrilled that the University was an option for her. Her parents made it clear how thrilled they were as well since it was an option that hadn't been around when they were graduating themselves. It wasn't that either of them hated their jobs, but both felt that there might have been options for them that they never discovered because they didn't get the chance to study longer.<br><br>In her second year at the University now she's studying far more advanced forms of transfiguration than would ever have been taught at Hogwarts, higher levels of potion-making, and taking further lessons in Herbology as well, though the Herbology she studies is more to further her potion-making because she's found that she can improvise and create better, the better she knows the properties of the plants and minerals she's working with. In the back of her mind she has begin thinking that a future in medical potions might be fun to explore. <br><br>This semester her classes include: Advanced Transfiguration, Medicinal Herbology, Advanced Potions, Defensive Magic, and Basic Apparating/Disapparating.<br><br><hr><hr><br><strong>name:</strong> Athena StarGazer-Smith<br><br><strong>age:</strong> 25<br><br><strong>gender:</strong> Female<br><br><strong>race:</strong> Witch<br><br><strong>Blood Status:</strong> Half-Blood, Muggle father<br><br><strong>position:</strong> PhD Student - Magical Archaeology, teaches Beginning Divination<br><br><strong>Signature Spell:</strong> Seer; Bubble-Head Charm modified so that it can continue to draw oxygen from the water around her, not just hold a finite amount.<br><br><strong>Wand:</strong> 10 1/2 in, Olive, Centaur tail strand core<br><br><strong>mirror, mirror on the wall:</strong>http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae282/caela_ecub/Brunettes/ed3.jpg (http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae282/caela_ecub/Brunettes/ed3.jpg) <br>Standing at 5'9 in her bare feet, Athena doesn't bother much with heels in the traditional sense. She does favor stylish boots (when not wearing sneakers) that usually have a small heel, but already being tall, she doesn't feel the need to wear four inch spikes...unless she's looking to intimidate somonee! A curtain of chocolate waves fall just past Athena's shoulders and frame a face that can be utterly serious, or filled with mirth in turns faster than most people can follow. Golden-brown eyes typically look out on the world as if she knows some secret that amuses her...and she's not sharing. <br><br><strong>in my heart of hearts:</strong> Athena is a sarcastic, kind, intelligent young woman. She studies hard, and plays harder, enjoying a variety of activities but preferring those that take her outside and let her enjoy the beauty of nature around her. She finds the sounds of nature soothing, particularly just after a Prophecy has gripped her. For the most part she ignores her <em>Gift</em> because it's something she can't truly control, the Prophecies come as they will and she simply chooses to live her life irregardless of what she Sees. <br><br>As a friend she is loyal and caring but more than willing to share harsh truths as well. She doesn't believe in "polite" lies and doesn't bother telling them, though she does try to soften some of what she tells people if she thinks it's necessary.<br><br>As a lover she is flirtatious, teasing, rarely easy to catch, but worth the chase. She will drive a partner mad if they let her, but will make the effort to catch her well worth the the time spent to do so. She enjoys being chased nearly as much as being caught and conquered. <br><br>As an enemy she is someone to be wary of. Her temper can burn fast and die just as quickly for minor matters but if you truly earn her enmity she will be patient and wait for the opportune moment to (when you are least expecting it and might even think she's forgotten) to exact her vengeance.<br><br><strong>my dark past:</strong> Athena grew up living what seemed to be a charmed life. The daughter of an American businessman and a Greek Witch, she actually grew up moving around many different parts of the world for her father's business ventures. When the time came to get her letter, she actually got more than one because of her nomadic lifestyle and her parents chose a school located near Queensland, Australia. The school itself it actually based on a small island in the Great Barrier Reef chain and is otherwise uninhabited. It was never "home" (that was always wherever her parents were) but it was a great deal of fun and she spent a good portion of her free time learning how to dive (which was how she gained exemplary control of, and affinity for, the Bubble-Head Charm) and swim the reefs that surrounded the island. Because it was far from the nearest Muggle habitation, it didn't require the same level of security as most other schools and only had a few spells to divert Muggle boats, ships, and aircraft so that it wouldn't be noticed.<br><br>While the school taught her the basics, much of her high level learning was done with her Mother who taught her things like Appariting/Disapparating and the Patronus Charm(an Owl in Athena's case). Athena wasn't sure when the latter would really be of much use, but her Mother made it a point that anything you <em>could</em> know, was worth knowing. While Athena hadn't grown up during the rise of Voldermort, her Mother had and she wanted her daughter to always be prepared to defend herself as needed. To that end, she also taught her daughter how to duel, and there could be no harsher teacher than Athena's own Mother when it came to winning a duel!<br><br>All her time spent diving also piqued the interest that, finally, brought her to Dragonsclaw; the Archaeology of Magical Civilizations. Just like the Muggle world, the Magical had lost cities over time and she suspected that many of Muggle mythologies famed "lost cities" were actually Magical in origin. Cities like Atlantis that were supposed to have seemingly magical or advanced technological capabilities. All of her diving inspired a passion to search out such places and learn the secrets lost to time. To that end she moved to the only University the Magical community had, even though it took her far from the oceans she loved, to learn as much as she could about ancient magical civilizations. Because of her Gift as a Seer, her Mother also taught her other divinatory arts and she uses those skills to teach her Beginning Divination classes.<br><br><strong>Note on her "Gift":</strong> Being a Seer is an inborn talent, not a skill she learned. According to her Mother, family lore has it that every generation of their family has spawned a Seer going back (supposedly) to Kassandra of Troy. Athena isn't certain that she truly believes the family stories, but they make an interesting story to tell when people ask about her Gift.<br>

				<strong>name:</strong> Svetlana Alexeyev <br><strong>age:</strong> 20ish<br><strong>gender:</strong> Female<br><strong>race:</strong> Witch<br><strong>Blood Status:</strong> Pure Blood<br><strong>position:</strong> Student<br><strong>Signature Spell:</strong> Cold Snap, as spell whose purpose it is to cause the temperature of an immediate area to drop below freezing. This spell can also be used on a life form for obvious ends.<br><strong>Wand:</strong> Ironwood, 10 inches, banshee claw tip core<br><strong>mirror, mirror on the wall:</strong> Svetlana is a Ukrainian beauty. She has a slender build and stands at 5'7''. Her hair is medium brown, long, and straight. Typically, Svetlana dresses moderately typical--if she was a muggle. Her clothing is always nice, clean, and her nails are always manicured. Despite her pleasing appearance, she has something a little <em>off</em> about her. It might be the cool way her hazel eyes calculate their surroundings and the people who are in them. She is very usual indeed. Image here (http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/ad179/sprinkletinkle/tumblr_lzs8o71TAc1qzjo57o1_500.jpg).<br><strong>in my heart of hearts:</strong> Svetlana is a cold, dissociative young woman by all accounts of individuals who are not in her "inner circle". She has a bitterly cold temper and is prone to have a very long memory indeed and is most certainly not above payback. In the barest essence of the word, Svetlana could best be described as mean. Being mean is not to be confused with being a bully because she does not lack in self esteem at all. She acts better than everybody else because to her she simply <em>is</em>. If there are other aspects to her personality, no one outside of that precious inner circle ever sees them.<br><strong>my dark past:</strong> Svetlana grew up in the Ukraine, in the city of Mykolaiv which is directly north of the Black Sea. Her family is an old blood family and they have never bread outside of the Slavic wizarding communities. She was raised with two other siblings who are now off doing their "own thing". By and large, to Svetlana her upbringing was fairly decent. She certainly never complains about it and you would be acutely hard pressed to find evidence to the contrary. Actually you'd be hard pressed to find evidence of her upbringing, period. <br><br>According to her, she attended Durmstrang and graduated at the typical age of 17. It is apparently from Durmstrang that Svetlana met her inner circle. She seems to be somewhat worldly, as she possesses knowledge of several European and Middle Eastern countries that only someone who had actually been there. There are no other known records of Svetlana's past.

She has olive toned skin with hazel eyes with gold flecks and usually rimmed with dark colored eyeliner.&nbsp; Her hair is chocolate brown, long and thick. She often likes to pull it back in a ponytail, long braid, or a messy bun depending on her mood.&nbsp; Makeup she wears generally consists of eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipgloss and/or lipstick.&nbsp; She tends to favor dark colors for her eyes and lips.<br><br>She is a bit of a tomboy. Acacia prefers casual attire and comfortable clothes, like sweatpants or yoga style pants, anything that is loose and comfortable especially on the times of the full moon.&nbsp; Sweatpants, pajama bottoms, yoga pants are easily replaceable should they get ripped apart during her transformation.&nbsp; She feels at home in jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers.&nbsp; Sometimes she will wear boots. It will be on rare occasions she might be seen wearing a dress. She also favors hooded sweatshirts and leather jackets.&nbsp; She has claw marks on her upper arms, side and back from when she was attacked by a werewolf on her sixteenth birthday.<br><br>in my heart of hearts: Acacia or AC as she likes to be called is smart, brilliant even as she had been told if only she applies herself.&nbsp; She often waits till the last minute to cram for exams or finish an assignment.&nbsp; AC tends to be sarcastic with a hint of cynicism to hide her emotions and guard her heart. She tries to keep others at arms length, playing things close to the vest because she is afraid if she opens up it will only bring her more pain and loss.<br><br>Despite her attempts to keep others at arms length, Acacia is a caring and loyal friend.&nbsp; Brave to the point she will leap into action to defend those she cares about without regard to her own safety.&nbsp; If anyone hurts those she cares about will rue the day they did, because she will stop at nothing to avenge them.&nbsp; She feels guilty for being the sole survivor of what happened to her family.&nbsp; She feels it is her fault in a way, because she disobeyed her mother instead of going to wash up, she instead snuck out to go play down by the creek.&nbsp; Acacia feels for being disobedient, she was punished when her parents and family were killed.&nbsp; She is determined to find the one responsible, to the point its an obsession, any clue she might find renews her mission.<br><br>my dark past:&nbsp; Acacia has a dark traumatic past, where she feels guilty for being the sold survivor of an attack which happened at her family home when she was six years old. The day was supposed to be a fun, happy occasion as it was a family get together.&nbsp; But, Acacia was a rambunctious child, always on the go, and rarely listend to her parents, always getting into things, climbing things she really shouldn't.&nbsp; Her mother told her several times to go wash up, and the last itme was done in anger. Instead of obeying her mother, Acacia instead snuck out and went down to the creek to play.&nbsp; She was there when the attack happened.&nbsp; If she had remained at the house, she would have been killed along with the rest of her family.&nbsp; She does not know who the wizard was who attacked, as she mostly repressed certain details.&nbsp; After the trauma of the event, she was sent to live with her aunt, her mother's estranged sister who raised her as best she could.&nbsp; Her life from then on was a series of ups and downs.<br><br>Sports became her refuge. An outlet to lose herself in, which allowed her to enter college on a scholarship. Upon her sixteenth birthday, she was out with her then boyfriend, when they were attacked by a werewolf.&nbsp; The boyfriend fled scared, while Acacia was bitten and clawed.&nbsp; From then on, Acacia decided it was better to put up walls to try to keep people out as she felt they would only let her down in the end.&nbsp; She deals with her condition with a series of potions and charms to keep the wolf at bay.&nbsp; Two of the classes she excels at are Defense Against the Dark Arts and Potions.&nbsp; She is a skilled duellist as she practices for several hours on end to perfect her reaction time. Her mission is to find the wizard who killed her family, and seek the vengeance she craves.

				Name:&nbsp; Rose "Rosie" Weasley<br>Age: 23<br>Gender: Female<br>Race: Human Witch<br>Blood Status: Half-Blood<br>Position: Student<br>Signature Spell: Petrificus Totalus<br>Wand: 11” Vine with Phoenix Feather<br><br>Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: (Appearance looks like Ashley Greene)<br>Rose has the trademark ginger colored hair shared by majority of the Weasley family. She has blue eyes with a fair complexion. Her hair is typically poker straight, long and worn loose. Sometimes she will pull it back into a ponytail at the back of her head. When she uses makeup, her motto is less is more. She prefers light shades as well as neutral tones. Her wardrobe consists of a mixture of styles ranging from jeans to skirts. Her style would be considered feminine and conservative.<br><br>In my heart of hearts: Rose is very much like her mother, a smart and talented witch who is highly competitive both academically and in sports. She strives for&nbsp; new challenges which test her mind. Like her father, she as a knack for playing Wizard’s Chess and has rarely been beaten in a game. It is perhaps the tactical thinking she developed playing chess which earned her a reputation for being a fierce Quidditch Player, developing plays which dazzled and amazed on the Pitch.<br><br>Rose is highly determined when it comes to tackling new challenges. She will not stop until she finds a solution, even if it means thinking outside the box. She can be very passionate about subjects close her heart often arguing her point with gusto. Speaks her mind even if the truth can be painful to hear, though on occasion she can stretch the truth. Like Hermione, she is not a very good liar, but can spin a convincing tale. When angered, her temper is something to fear, as she can be explosive or the wrathful storm behind a mask of calm, it depends on the situation which triggers the response. Rose is a fierce, brave, compassionate and loyal friend who can be depended to be there when needed.<br><br>My Dark Past: Rose is the daughter of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. She grew up amongst the close knit family and friends, as her parents stayed in touch with many of their former classmates throughout the years. When she got accepted to Hogwarts, she was excited, and was the first one to don her robes well before it was time to on the train. She is an incredibly talented and brilliant witch like her mother, Hermione.&nbsp; She excels at Charms, Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts, while other subjects cause her to be more driven and focused till she perfects the task at hand. <br><br>During her school years at Hogwarts, aside from her academic achievements she also shared her father’s love of Quidditch eventually joining the team. She took the role of Keeper, defending the goals with a fierce determination. What she plans to do once she graduates college is unclear. She is torn between possibly following in her parents footsteps and joining the Ministry of Magic as either an Auror or possibly another position. <br><br>

His hair is jet black and his smile is capturing. Well, at least when he's in public. When his true nature is revealed, his face is a constant scowl and a reminder to all that he is the one that holds the power.</span> (See here: Extensive Devination Symbols Tattoo. (http://www.design-moderne.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Arm-and-Shoulder-tattoo-Designs-for-men.jpeg)) <br><br><strong>in my heart of hearts</strong>:<br>&nbsp;<br>(As a Professor):<br><br>Charming: <span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">There is no one that can resist his smile when he flashes at directly at you, nor could anyone ignore how smoothely his words are strung together. He seems to have a mysterious ability to captivate his audience, something that helped his teaching career as short as it is. It doesn't do too bad for him when he needs to get what he wants either. <br></span><br>Daring: <span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">He is not a man for caution, always loving to take risks. If something is too dangerous to attempt, he would volounteer. It's a hint of arrogence with a whole pile of confidence that has him ready to dive into any new experience, and makes him a very hands on professor. </span><br><br>Mysterious: <span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">Outside of the classroom, no one really knows much about Rome. All people know that he resides somewhere on the grounds, and no one has ever been inside his room. If someone wants to meet with him, the only chance they get is when he is teaching or roaming the grounds. Outside of the castle, nothing is known.</span><br><br>Selective: <span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">He has a habit of favoring students and teachers who match his witt or have an affinity for spells.

He demands perfection and loyalty even at the cost of his subordinates lives. Many have met their end because they disobeyed or did not take into consideration how immensely powerful he actually is.<br></span><br>Easy to anger: <span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">A trait inherited by his father, no doubt, it does not take much to anger Rome. He does not always display it, or broadcast it in yells, but the slightest word out of place can produce a cold stare from him that would freeze anyone who looked at him in place, and warn them that another letter misspoken would result in severe punishment.</span><br><br>Sadistic: <span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">The trait inherited from his mother, he's fond of the art of torture. The Cruciatus curse seemed...dated, for him, so he improved upon it by having molten chains bind you to the ground and burn through your skin as the original effect of the curse takes place. This also became his favorite spell to use as a means of discipline. </span><br><br><strong>my dark past:</strong> <br><br><span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">Rome is the son of Bellatrix Lestrange and Tom Marvello Riddle. Yes, you read that correctly. Before everything happened, before the war and the end of Lord Voldemort, Bellatrix had the honors and painful experience of copulating with Lord Voldemort to produce him an heir. This matter was utterly secret, and the only one to know about it was Voldemort and Bellatrix herself. Before the actual war, Bellatrix vanished for a few months and secretly gave birth to Voldemort's child in an abandoned cabin by the edges of the Dark Forest. Rome was told that his birth was so excruciatingly painful, that his mother cast killing curses on all the aids helping to birth the child out of pure insanity and pain. As an infant, he was quickly shipped off to the Ukraine and the memory of him erased from Bellatrix's mind in fear of her blurting it out. Rome spent his entire life in Svetlana Alexeyev's coven, his existence completely hidden from the world. He was told his heritage, and it seemed that a part of his father held itself within his child. He was not a Horcrux, but the hold of a father's corruption is much stronger. He was taught how to kill, torture, and at the age of seven he was already skilled enough to out-cast and murder everyone in the coven...except 'her'. Everything from there on out remains unknown, all that is confirmed is that several years later he showed up to Dragonsclaw university, graduated with honors, and took the position of Defense against the Dark Arts professor. </span>

The spell repels a person/people, be they Muggle or Wizard/Witch, the spell won’t differentiate. Its purpose is to protect both the person/persons being repelled and the Lycanthrope.<br><strong>Wand:</strong> Redwood/Thunder Bird/8 and ½ inch<br><strong>mirror, mirror on the wall:</strong> Mʉa stands at about six foot even and weighs in at one hundred and fifty-nine pounds. He is far more modern in dress compared to the twins.&nbsp; He is most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirts, and even teaches in such. He is also known for wearing a cowboy hat and boots.<br><br><strong>in my heart of hearts:</strong> While he gives honour to his Native American roots, he also embraces his Pale Face side. Mʉa is much quicker to smile, less unapproachable, and far more easy going. While he understands the ways of his Father’s People, and doesn’t really blame them in the least, he is more like his Mother and her People. He is quick to help a person in need, be a shoulder to cry or lean on, or just be someone to vent to.<br><br><strong>my dark past:</strong> Mʉa is a Native American Comanche, he is a Half Blood in both the Wizarding World and the Native American one. He is a distant cousin to Kutseena and Inali Sai. <br><br>It is said in his family legends that Old Man Coyote came upon a Comanche warrior near to dying. The warrior had taken out many an Apache brave and the bodies were littered about his dying form. Coyote, impressed, and not wanting to see such a one go to the Happy Hunting Grounds so soon made him a deal. Honour him, protect his children the coyotes, and he would save him from death. The Comanche agreed and, being the Trickster that he was, Old Man Coyote bit him giving him Lycanthropy. While not exactly what the Comanche had in mind, Coyote had lived up to his word and saved the young man from death.<br><br>Lycanthropy is well known to the Native Americans, and while Coyote is the most common form, Wolf and even Puma are also about, as well as rumours of Bear. The Native Peoples have actually developed ways to control their Lycanthropy and not become so animalistic as their Pale Face counter parts. They still retain their Humanism and some have even managed to control the Change at will. Mʉa is one such.<br><br>When the University of the Dragonclaw was first founded, Mʉa was asked to come teach a class on Lycanthropy and help others to achieve what the Native Americans have. He thought long and hard on the offer and at first refused. He did not feel that at seventeen, he was anywhere qualified to teach others his own age. Eventually though, his own kind and helpful nature caused him to change his mind, and much repeated requests every year. He has been teaching at Dragonclaw U now for two years, this semester will be his third. It is because of him the twins have even considered enrolling here, though their parents and they have no idea, since word and suggestion has reached them by round about means. <br><br><strong>On a side note</strong>, Native Americans take a different view to the Wizarding World. Unlike the Whites, who hide the Magic from their Muggle counterparts, Native Americans do not. Wizard and Muggle mix and live together. More often than not, you can over hear a conversation about some Witch or Wizard talking about a spell or potion to a Native Muggle as you would to hear them talk about the weather.<br><br><strong>Player Note:</strong> When they speak in Comanche, I will be using maroon and <em>italics</em> for the words. English will be normal type.

And while her short statue might make reaching the high shelves a pain, She doesn't let it get in her way. Naturally tan, Addie has hazel-green eyes. And a lovely smile, when she bothers to show it. <br><br>Small featured, she has a sweet face and a voice to match. But thanks to a rough and tumble childhood, she is the owner of some noticeable reminders of childhood stupidity.<br>A large wavy scar beneath her left collarbone, a crescent at the corner of her right eyebrow. Ah, the memories.<br><br>When not dressed in uniform as a healer, or wearing her wizarding clothing. Addie does still favor some of her muggle clothes. Mostly long skirts paired with spaghetti straps. <br><br><strong>In my heart of hearts:</strong><br><br>Addie is a stubborn, proud young woman. Very intelligent, Addie goes after what she wants with passion, and refuses to let anyone stand in her way. She views herself as a pillar of strength for others, but has a difficult time allowing anyone to return the favor. She is rarely without a book, and enjoys many different subjects, including some muggle literature. She is bold, blunt and someone who pushes others to think for themselves. <br><br>At times, Addie can let herself become to focused, or serious. And she seems to not always get certain kinds of humor, but if you can manage to make her laugh, its quite an achievement. Addie isn't very romantically savvy, having sacrificed relationships while in school, for her studies or hobbies. <br><br><strong>My Dark Past:</strong> <br><br>My name is Adelaide Cruz, and let me tell you something. I'm only 'Addie' to people I like. In my old world, I was just a normal kid, well as normal as a kid can be when strange things tend to happen around you. But you get used to randomly appearing places you never meant to be, or once I swear I lit my annoying aunt's wig on fire. I didn't really grow up having many grand expectations for my life. I was a southern born girl whose mom worked at&nbsp; a local night club, a dad who worked some nine to five job he hated talking about. But I wasn't doing so bad for a kid whose primary education came from running the streets with the other kids. <br><br>Oh, I forgot to mention something. I'm an all american kind of girl.<br><br>I never once thought witches, wizards, or anything that went bump in the night was real. Heck, if my ma had heard me talking about that nonsense she would tan my behind. <br>But that's just the thing isn't it? It is the stuff you would never believe could happen to you, that does.<br><br>I've heard of the 'black sheep" of the family, the crazy aunt who has the weird hobbies, or the weird&nbsp; uncle who always seems to be traveling. It rocked my entire family right down to its core when I got the acceptance letter to Salem's Academy. My ma couldn't believe it, and still to this day finds it hard to accept. My dad, bless his heart didn't know what to do with me, but loved and supported me anyway. After some very awkward trips into the Wizarding World, my mother while she loved me, and will always just couldn't handle that magic was real, and that her daughter was 'gifted' as she says.<br><br>I know she hoped the 'gift' had ended with me, and that the random mutation that caused my weirdness didn't infect my little brother. Since he is currently seven years old, and a fairly normal if bratty kid. It's still a bit early to tell. But something I'll never let my Ma know..I'm silently crossing my fingers for him. My Dad sent me to live with my Uncle Nick, maybe a year after we all learned I was different. He took me on and introduced me to my new world. A world of dragons and unicorns, and of course..of witches and wizards. Right now, I'm still in school..and not entirely sure what I want to settle on just yet. I've dabbled in dueling, played curse-breaker for a year and even enjoyed helping others as a healer for a few months. Yes, Healing and helping others is something that brings me joy, and I'm damn good at it too. But, there is just so much this world has to offer, I doubt I'll really ever settle on just one thing. <br><br><em>Contra vim mortis non crescit herba in hortis/No herb grows in the gardens against the power of death.</em><br>
