More than willing to take the time required to master skills, make friends and contacts,&nbsp; or endure unpleasant or uncomfortable situations. They say Rome wasn't built in a day, and Aaric takes such a mentality to heart. <br><em>Reliable</em>: Though he doesn't typically go around making promises carelessly, the truth is his word once given is always accomplished faithfully. A man is only as good as his word, and Aaric strives to make sure if there is one good quality people say he posses, it's his ability to keep his word. <br><em>Cerebral</em>: Aaric imagines often the world around him as a chessboard, with each step requiring thought before taking an action. While he's hardly a robot, he rarely allows emotion to cloud a decision even if it means accepting a defeat or scuffing his pride so long as he is confident he can offset the temporary setbacks. <br><em>Antagonistic</em>: As patient as Aaric is he certainly enjoys testing the patience of others around him. Life's no fun without a bit of trouble to enjoy every now and again, and Aaric will test the boundaries with just about every individual he makes his acquaintance with. He typically tries to be careful not to take it too far, just enough to create a little tension if he can help it. <br><em>Shameless flirt</em>: Aaric is a notorious flirt, and makes no apologies for it. There is never bad time, or a woman in which a little friendly flirting is inappropiate to him. <br><em>Protective</em>: Though it's a side that has only been seen by the younger individuals of his family, Aaric looks at his younger siblings as wards and will often go out of his way to give them advice and look out for them. His behavior around them is rarely seen, but is a glimpse of the man by the smirk.<br><strong>History</strong>: <br>The Balor family commonly claims it's roots go all the way to the Irish myth of the Demon King Balor. In Irish mythology, Balor was king of the Fomorians, a group of supernatural beings that ran amok causing chaos and trouble in the barbaric times of Ireland. He was described as a giant, a demon, a god that brought drought and blight, and is a popular legend in the country still today. Any true wizard worth his merit of course would automatically assume Balor was in fact a barbaric wizard using magic to control and manipulate the muggles around him. There is debate to whether or not the Balor Family is in fact related to King Balor or if the family simply uses the story to make themselves seem more prestigious and powerful. What is known is the family has a incredibly long history in Ireland. Yet with no records to prove their claim, there is nothing to validate their claims. <br><br>Whatever the origins of the Balor blood, Aaric's origin was the second born son of Connor and Gabrielle, and one of five children along the main branch of the Balor Family. Aaric's family was one of many pure-blood families that took a fierce pride in their heritage and ability to remain Pure. To remain Pure-blood is no a simple feat they teach the younger generations. It requires talent, skill, accomplishment after accomplishment and most importantly sacrifice. Every individual with Balor blood reflects it, every failure is a failure for the entire family. From his youngest years Aaric understood his every action reflected his family, and his life's work would be the Balor legacy. There was no single specific means of adding to the legacy, rather it was simply to excel, to strive to have the name constantly ranked among the top, to strive and work and study and succeed.<br><br>Aaric for his part was never particularly phased by the pressure and expectations placed upon him. Perhaps a part of that was&nbsp; due to him being the second oldest which meant the majority of the responsibility went to his elder brother Derrin who was expected to eventually take over as head of the family. Still every child had high expectations placed upon them, his parents and grandparents were never easy on Aaric or his siblings. In spite of the responsibilities placed on his shoulders Aaric never balked. In fact he was quite the rebel in his younger years. Sometimes under performing just to earn the ire of his parents. His crowning rebellious achievement was breaking into his Grandpa's Trophy room and stealing his prized broomstick, taking to the skies....For a spectacular four seconds, and then promptly smacked straight into the stables where his father had a number of magical creatures for study locked where they wouldn't be able to get out and cause trouble to the neighbors or innocent wanderers that might be nearby. The damage Aaric's crash created was large enough that several escaped and toured the Irish countryside. Luckily no one was hurt by the accident. Aaric was punished harshly, whipped, given more chores, and strictly forbidden from wings of the manor for a time, his parents content that he'd never be so careless again, and Aaric content for the great fun he had enjoyed through the experience.<br><br>His Hogwarts letter wasn't received with shouts of joy and surprise. It was something expected in the family. The excitement would come the week before he was to set out for school. The Balor Family had a tradition to gather the entire family to celebrate the first steps a child would take into adulthood. It was considered the coming of age for the Balor Family. A incredibly outlandish party filled with champagne, music, guests and friends all brought into it. The Family itself jokes their wealth is amassed entirely for these celebrations as no expense is spared in organizing them. Aaric's celebration unfortunately wasn't as festive as the ones his siblings would eventually enjoy. As Aaric's Uncle Eli who had been previously named a disgrace had picked his moment to return. When Aaric was still young Eli had been expected to take control of the family affairs as Head of the House. He had even been engaged to prestigous family, however Eli had a affair with a muggle resulting in a bastard son. Just a few short month's later Eli's second son was born, however the embarrassment to the Balor name had irreperably damaged Eli's relationship with his father. Always his son had been invited to family events, <em>as the son was pure, and brought with him prominment members of his mother's family.</em> Eli however had been all but outcast. Choosing Aaric's celebration as the opportunity to try and win his way back into the family, Eli and Aaric's grandfather got into quite the fight. Two of his cousins got caught by hexes and his mother was knocked out cold, before Eli was finally forced from the grounds. Aaric and the rest of the family was reminded that such mistakes dragged the entire family down. Sacrifices would be made, for the betterment of the family they would be necessary. <br><br>A week later Aaric boarded the train to Hogwarts and the next phase of his life began. Aaric was sorted into arriving at Hogwarts, a house he felt mostly at home in. Though in his opinion he'd have gotten along where ever he ended up. He greatly enjoyed the freedom from the watchful eyes of his parents who had home schooled him for seventeen years. He was a social butterfly, always looking to make friends and contacts, he'd always consider it a good day if he ended up talking with a girl. He was the type of individual who was quick to enter relationships, and quick to end them. Quicker if they weren't pure-bloods. This lead to some rumblings that he was a snob, made all the greater by rumors around the school that his uncle had been exiled from his family for being a muggle lover. While Aaric bore no ill will nor looked down on other blood status's he didn't ever bother trying to fight the rumors either. The fact of the matter was at any time he could receive a letter from his parents informing him he had been arranged into a marriage as his brother had before him. Aaric was wary of his uncle and had no intention of being black listed from the family. Whether he agreed with all of their decisions or not, family came first. Even if he enjoyed gaining their ire at times.<br><br>In spite of the fact it seemed he was more keen to simply sow his wild seed and enjoy himself, his carefree and laidback personality actually hid a great deal of dilligence. His marks never slipped too far, save for Divination which swiftly became his worst subject. Yet he managed to swore in a subject of great difficulty with Transfiguration, adoring the challenge it took to excell in the class. Aaric was natural.&nbsp; He assimulated naturally into life at Hogwarts, always seemingly managing his time to maximize on the amount of fun and mischief he might get up to, while leaving just enough time to avoid any scolding letters from his mum.<br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: Aaric is probably best known for being a notorious flirt. Though there is a rumor hanging around him that he and his family look down on half-bloods and muggleborns.<br><strong>Likes</strong>: Chess, Transfiguration, The struggles of others at Transfiguration, a good conversation, people watching, sitting along the lake, winning, rumors, flirting, collecting chocolate toad cards, rare creatures, women, and a bit of trouble to keep things interesting. <br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Divination, Gnomes, Chores, laziness, marks bellow Acceptable, Divination, Routines, Lemon Sherbert, Bertie Botts every flavor jelly beans (never any luck, never), his pride getting scuffed, and Divination <br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: <br>Stealing his grandfather's broom and crashing it into the barn, it was the most fun of his young life.<br>Maintaining high marks in Transfiguration every year at Hogwarts<br>Every kiss from every girl he's had the pleasure to enjoy<br>Managing to sneak out of the castle past curfew for a late date, and slip back in without being caught.<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: <br>Stealing his grandfather's broom and crashing it into the barn, it was fun but he was restricted to parts of his own home and is now a cautionary tale for younger Balors.<br>Trying out for the quidditch team and crashing almost as quickly as he crashed into the barn<br>Receiving a Dreadful in Divination as he refuses to drop it, but refuses to take it seriously<br>Falling for the Ten Ton Toffee Trick<br>Flirting with a girl on the quidditch team and getting knocked out by a buldger<br>Letting the rumor he cares about blood status grow<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong>&nbsp; Not being better on a bromstick<br><strong>Extra curricular subjects</strong>:<br><strong>Marks</strong>: <br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - O<br><em>Herbology</em> - A<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>History of Magic<em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>Divination</em> - D<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - E</em></em>

(https://orig00.deviantart.net/d40b/f/2017/218/c/4/c4849595369a62dd75f8448648e78df6-dbj1mos.jpg)<br><strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>: Bisexual, but leans towards women.<br><strong>Home</strong>: London, England / Chicago, IL, USA<br><strong>Personality</strong>: Addy is well meaning, but a little 'moony' in the head. Once she gets on a subject she enjoys, she will talk fast and long till someone stops her. She would rather focus on growing her natural talents, rather than having her head stuffed full of facts. While she enjoys dressing up and looking pretty, she is very much in love with the subject of Herbology and is willing to ruin an expensive dress to go digging in the dirt. Much to her witch mother's shock and dismay, Addy has been known to use her wand like a shovel to dig or like a hair pin to keep her hair back. She sees it as an extension of herself, not an object to point at things with.<br><br><strong>Family</strong>: Annabel Entwhistle, Half Blood. Met her husband while working with the MACUSA Chicago office. Met Edmund Ogden, a No-Maj, while working on a project close to the Wisconsin border. She didn't reveal to him that she was a witch till after the wedding. Addy is their only child.<br><br><strong>History</strong>: Addy realized early in life that she wasn't attracted to just men. In fact, she found that while she found men attractive, she was more drawn towards women. At fourteen, she came out to her parents about her bisexuality. It was not accepted well. They said she would grow out of it one day and find herself a nice man to marry. It became a very "don't ask, don't tell" situation in her household.<br><br>She was set to go off to Ilvermorny when she turned sixteen, but her father surprised them by saying that his company was wanting to relocate him to England. She had already got her wand and everything. Both she and her mother were set against it, but it was decided by her parents that her father had sacrificed quite a bit in his life to keep his marriage to a witch. The move happened very fast and Addy was forced to end the relationship she had been starting with a female classmate. The girl had been a No-Maj and, with much eye rolling from her mother and father, a Wiccan. Addy had enjoyed seeing <em>magic</em> from the point of view of a No-Maj. It had been very stressful for the usually upbeat witch, causing her to close off a bit.<br><br>Addy has found it difficult to handle wizarding life in England compared to how it was in the States. She's not used to there being such easy access to it all and everyone being so close. She misses the secret shops with their little painted runes that you had to decipher to see if the shop was wizarding friendly or not. She misses not knowing who is and who isn't a witch or wizard around her. She misses feeling 'rare' because now she is surrounded by a wizarding community like Diagon Alley on a daily basis as her mother starts working a low level job at the Ministry.<br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Herbology. Anything that gets her outside.<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Places that are too neat or tidy. Spiders in her hair. She likes spiders, but had one fall in her hair once and accidentally crushed it and now she's paranoid about walking under spider webs and constantly checks doors before walking through them.<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Coming out to her parents. Admitting to her female friend that she was attracted to her. Going to her first No-Maj Wiccan gathering.<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: The fit she threw about moving to England. She feels like it was selfish to try to guilt her parents into staying and that it was petty of her.<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Never forcing her parents to talk about the <em>elephant in the room</em>. Just accepting the <em>"don't ask, don't tell"</em> living situation.<br><strong>Extra-curricular activities:</strong> She'd like to learn how to ride a broom. Also, anything to do with herbology.<br><br><hr><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Avatars</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/eb/AddyHuff1.png) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d0/AddyHuff2.png) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/0d/AddyHuff3.png) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/af/AbbyHuff4.png)</div></div>

				<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/EBKlpJ5.jpg)</div><strong>Name</strong>: Silas Cork<br><strong>Age/Birth date</strong>: 22 / June 25th<br><strong>Blood Status</strong>: Muggle Born<br><strong>House</strong>: Ravenclaw<br><strong>Year</strong>: 6th Year<br><strong>Wand</strong>: Dogwood, Phoenix Feather Core, 10'', Surprisingly Flexible.<br><strong>Apparation liscense?</strong> No. He failed and hasn't retaken it yet.<br><strong>FaceClaim</strong>: Kevin Allen<br><strong>Height/Weight</strong>: 6'2'' / 155lbs<br><strong>Hair Color</strong>: Dark Brown<br><strong>Eyes</strong>: Hazelnut Brown<br><strong>Distinguishing Marks</strong>:&nbsp; Long scar up his left leg from a biking accident as a child.<br><strong>Sexual Orentation</strong>: Pansexual<br><strong>Home</strong>: Leeds, England<br><strong>Personality</strong>: Silas is aloof and likes a good joke. Sometimes, he has a habit of being overly kind and positive in order to make up for his family history, not that he has told anyone about it. He would rather smile and relax than to do anything 'responsible'. Silas is a terrible flirt, but he has never attempted a committed relationship. The idea of marriage and children actually terrifies him. He is no stranger to a slap in the face after a bad breakup. Silas doesn't see himself as having friends. Acquaintances, but never really friends.<br><br><strong>Family</strong>: <em>Lavender Cork.</em> Single mother and muggle from Leeds, currently living in London. She admits to not knowing who Silas' father is. Stating that the week he could have been conceived was a "particularly busy week".<br><br><em>Johnathan Cork</em>. Grandfather of Silas. Owns a small hotel in Leeds. Took over care of Silas after Lavender abandoned him and his wife passed away.<br><br><strong>History</strong>: Silas is the Great Grandson of bank robber, kidnapper, murderer; Donald Neilson. After marriage to Irene Tate, Neilson left the army and started a family. Their daughter, Kathryn Neilson was born in 1960. Neilson took to small house robberies in his early years. Notably racking up over 400 known burglaries. However, proceeds from small houses were low and after stealing a number of guns and ammunition from a household, he took to holding up small post offices from 1971-1974. There were a total of eighteen of these robberies. He first upgraded the violence of his crimes when he was caught by a postmaster and sub-postmistress. The man managed to wrestle the mask off his face before Neilson broke several of the man's toes and escaped. The sub-postmistress managed to give an accurate description of his face to law enforcement.<br><br>From there, Neilson shot two sub-postmasters and a sub-postmistress's husband. He also brutally beat the sub-postmistress who had described him to the police. His final killing was one he had planned for three years. An heiress named Lesley Whittle. He only asked for a small amount of money for a ransom, but through a series of police bungles and other circumstances, the ransom money was never delivered to the proper place at the proper time. Her body was found hung by a wire.<br><br>After his imprisonment, it came to light how he dominated over his wife and daughter. Irene went to prison for 12 months for her involvement in burning stolen post orders after his capture, but when she was released, she found that their daughter had run away. Fourteen year old Kathryn was never found.<br><br>Kathryn changed her name to something common, April Smith, so as to avoid being known as the daughter of Donald Neilson and moved to Leeds. While only fourteen, she lied to gain a job by saying she was sixteen. She cleaned rooms at a local hotel. It was cheap work, but it was far from anything her father had ever done. Four years later, she married Johnathan Cork, son of the hotel owner and had a daughter of her own in 1978, who was named Lavender Cork.<br><br>Lavender was a girl of, what could be described as, loose morals. It was not uncommon for her, in her teenage years, to steal hotel room keys for her dalliances. When she turned up pregnant just before her 18th birthday, no one was truly surprised. Lavender left her son to be cared for mostly by her mother and father. Silas proved to be a handful as a child. He was extremely energetic and outgoing. He would wake up talking and fall asleep talking most days. <br><br>It wasn't till his grandmother's passing when he was ten that they found the letters that Kathryn/April had written to her own mother later in life. They found out the truth of who Silas' great grand father had been. It was this, coupled with the stress of a neglectful mother, and the loss of his grandmother that Silas had his first noticeable bought of accidental magic. He was riding his bike, fast, down the road and crying when the chain suddenly snapped off. It wrapped around his leg and he went tumbling over the handlebars and into a tree. Leg badly cut, he just sat crying as tree branches fell around him.<br><br>The Ministry intervened at that point, explaining to his mother and grandfather the situation. About what Silas was. Rather than wanting to deal with the responsibility, Lavender asked them to take Silas away. Grandfather Johnathan stepped in and said he would take care of everything and ensure that all the Ministry's rules and regulations were followed about Silas' schooling before attending an actual wizarding school. Lavender chose to have herself obliviated and moved to London. When she makes one of her rare visits to see her father, she has no idea that Silas is her child and just thinks he a child of one of the long time inhabitants of the hotel. As much as it pains Johnathan, he has to pretend like Silas isn't his grandson when she's around and restrain his anger towards his daughter over her choice.<br><br>At sixteen, he was admitted to Hogwarts and by that time, he had learned to ignore the nagging feelings of inferiority over what his mother had done and what is in his 'genes'. He chooses to meet each day with a smile, even if he wants to punch a wall.<br><br>Through his years at Hogwarts, he has always tried to take the easy way out. Never wanting to excel at anything, but never wanting to fail. Though he did fail his Apparation test and has been too sour about it to retake it yet. Silas wants to be average and forgettable, because he can't bare the thought of anyone actually caring about him and him disappointing them. He has spent the last six years pretending to be mediocre and even giving credit to the occasional work partner that they are the one who made their project succeed, even if it was him.<br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Boys, girls, and everything in between and beyond. Muggle vehicles, especially motorcycles. Surprisingly good at baking bread. Secretly, he likes cuddly animals and Wizard's Chess...but he always lets his partner win if he thinks he's going to win.<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Being too noticeable. Narrow minded people. Bullies.<br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: Hitting on anything with a heartbeat. Being particularly nasty with breakups. His sometimes dark humor when it comes to death.<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Fixing up his grandfather's motorcycle by himself and riding it to King's Cross.<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Forgetting that he couldn't leave the motorcycle at King's Cross all school year and find out it had been impounded and his grandfather made him scrub toilets at the hotel for two months to pay back the cost of getting it out of impound.<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Never apologizing to the first girl he broke up with. Mary. She had thought they were a couple and he'd laughed at her when she started crying when he told her to get lost. She said that for all his jokes and smiles, he was a heartless.

No, they aren't Firebolts, but Dancers are known to be a very reliable broom that's difficult to break. Chester was a Slytherin when he went to school. He was also a prefect.<br><br><em>Tatianna Pierce née Dubois<strong>*</strong>&nbsp; (sister, age 29) &amp; Gabriel Pierce (age 31, brother-in-law)</em>:They met at Hogwarts in Gabriel's last year. They currently work in Knockturn Alley, running a loan company. Tatiana is Topher's actual sister. Both were Slytherins. Tatiana was Head Girl when she attended Hogwarts, and she played on the Quidditch team. Tatianna is, for some reason, fairly high on the Ministry's watch list...<br><br><em>Alan Dubois<strong>*</strong>&nbsp; (father, 42) &amp; Eleanor Dubois<strong>*</strong>&nbsp; (mother, 40)</em>: Topher's parents who work as financial advisers and capital investors. They have several businesses they've invested in, many pertaining to potion-making, which is their specialty. They have one incredibly successful cauldron company called <em>Pot &amp; Kettle</em>, which makes designer cauldrons for people who are into aesthetics. They are both incredibly patient; they've had some failed business investments, but they've pulled themselves back up. It is rumored, but not confirmed, that Alan has a Death Eater mark and may have made a similar deal with the Ministry as his own grandfather, Tobias. <br><br><em>Marcia Lockwood<strong>*</strong>&nbsp; (age 39, aunt)</em>: Marcia is actually Eleanor's sister, but she's estranged from the family. She is the <em>only</em> non-Slytherin in the family and married a....<em>Muggle</em>. Though her husband passed away last year from a heart condition. She currently works as an Auror and does not talk to her relatives. 'Pulling a Marcia' is considered to be the worst thing a Dubois can do.<br><br><em>Pascale Dubois<strong>*</strong>&nbsp; (grandfather, 66) &amp; Ninette Dubois<strong>*</strong>&nbsp; (grandmother, age 67)</em>: Pascale and Ninette did not move away from France; they still work as bankers there for a competitor bank of Gringotts as Curse-Breakers. Yes, even at their age. Pascale and Ninette, when they attended Hogwarts, managed to get Os in <em>everything.</em><br><br><em>Louis Dubois<strong>*</strong>&nbsp; (age 70, great-uncle) &amp; Lucrezia Moretti (age 68, great-aunt)</em>: Accountants, both of them. <br><br><em>Tobias Dubois<strong>*</strong>&nbsp; (great-grandfather, age 92)</em>: Currently the family patriarch. Tobias is a proud frenchman who was a bit off-put by moving to London. He got the family's start in banking, competing in perhaps less-than-savory ways with Gringotts. He is known to have a Death Eater tattoo, and it is widely believed that old dark magic practitioners like Tobias covertly funded a lot of evil wizarding acts, though he turned himself in and got amnesty, as he'd killed no one. What information he traded for that is unknown, and it's widely believed he turned coat simply to save his own skin and family &amp; had the means to trade for that, not because the old fart had changed anything about himself at all.</div></div><br><br>[Note: The names/ages of any <strong>non-Dubois</strong> (anyone without <strong>*</strong> ) are open to be changed if anyone would like a family connection with Topher! I am open to changing information about these!]<br><br><strong>History</strong>: The Dubois family originally traces their origins back to Paris, but they chose to move to England seven years ago. They have long-admired Hogwarts and have always sent their children there at rather great personal expense, though the Dubois family's never been exactly prolific. They are, however, passably wealthy and well-off. The family are bankers, accountants, &amp; investors in magical businesses--they have helped start up more than a few cauldron and broom companies with their Galleons. <br><br>But what about Topher? Topher's story can be summed up in the phrase "Has A Lot To Prove." He's the youngest in his family, and as such, he feels an incredible need to stand on his own and be unique. This has resulted, on more than one occasion, in Topher attempting feats <em>well</em> beyond his ability. For example, when his brother first got accepted into Hogwarts as a Slytherin, young Topher tried to conjure a pretty green and silver flame with his brother's new wand to celebrate. He set fire to their beautiful vacation flat in London, much to the family's chagrin. Topher meant well, though. Mostly. In no manner was he stealing the wand because he was very curious and a little jealous. No. Of course not.<br><br>What Topher didn't know was that his family were once rather famous practioners of the dark arts in France. They traditionally provided safe haven and funding for Death Eaters fleeing England...and poor Topher never knew a thing. All Topher knows is that his family is wealthy and pure-blooed, and money breeds jealously. Anyone that accuses his family of being evil is met with racuous laughter...and possibly some sort of secret spiteful vengeance. He won't tolerate bad-mouthing of his family. He actually got into trouble his own 1st year attending Hogwarts when a Gryffindor in his year suggested that the Dubois couldn't hide what they'd done just by moving to London to suck up to the Ministry, and Topher hexed him.<br><br>This did not help Topher's family's reputation. <br><br>His family have always been Slytherins (save for one), so Topher has a reputation to try to uphold, which makes his life all the more complicated. His family sets a lot of stock in favored House. He got his tattoo last year, the one on his left wrist, to try to honor his family.<br><br>Topher has played Quidditch all his life. When he was younger, though, he used to get hurt a lot playing Quidditch, even breaking his arms a few times. What a rush! Topher regrets nothing. His sister is the one who taught him everything he knows about riding a broomstick, but he later honed his abilities when he began playing for Hogwarts for Slytherin, though he has not, as of yet, been able to play in a 'winning' match. Partly this is due to being periodically unavailable during the matches (as he gets into trouble or fights, landing him smack-dab in the hospital wing) or he gets pulled out and benched if he gets too competitive and aggressive. His fondest hope is to not only play on his House's team this year, but actually make it to and play in the final match. He's an incredibly talented player; he just needs to channel it the right way. <br><br>Now he's just trying to see if he can calm down this year and do his family proud. He knows he's not doing a great job so far...but this year is the year! Right? He's a Slytherin. He has a heritage to uphold. He can't turn out like <em>Aunt Marcia</em>, can he? His family has incredibly high expectations of him--if he continues being good at Potions, he will likely go into business with his parents after graduation. If he ups his game at Charms, he might end up going into business with his older brother, Chester. <br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Wizard's Chess, Quidditch (both for Hogwarts and professionally--his favorite pro team is the French National Quidditch Team),&nbsp; any colors that are 'earth' tones, wrestling, riddles, shopping, looking after small animals, thunder storms, snow, snakes, small lizards, studying new things.<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Bugs. Bugs. Oh, did I mention bugs? Topher <em>hates</em> insects and likes nothing better than to feed them to cuter and more worthy animals. He dislikes sunny days; they give him headaches. Studying <em>old</em> things he already knows. People insulting his family...even if they're actually right. The color orange. <br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: His infamous 'all-nighter exam preps.' Topher does study and likes to study, but with some subjects, he's always scrambling. He hosts a shindig every year before final exams so everyone can burn off steam, and then everyone cracks down to study all night once they get all the partying out of their system. <br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: His first O in Potions. He had to work really hard in that. It's a patient subject, and normally he struggles with that, but because of it, he was able to push on into Alchemy. And the time in his 3rd year that he got a new broomstick from his father and managed to race it all the way around the castle, into the Forbidden Forest, and back again before the professors had to magic him down and take away some House points. <br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Punching the captain of his House Quidditch team last year and getting benched during the championship match. Topher's got a hell of a temper, and he's <em>known</em> for it. He lost of a lot of points for his House doing that, and his reputation hasn't quite recovered. <br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Divination class. He tried to predict the teacher's hair would fall out in his 3rd year and cheat on an exam by subtly dosing the professor's hat with a Hair Removing Solution he made in Potions. Well, the teacher's hair <em>did</em> fall out. But Topher failed that test. He only ever does sporadically good in Divination now--and right now, he's doing badly. He thought it would be a piece of cake course...and he was wrong. You can't cheat fate, and you can't cheat on tests.<br><br><strong>Extra curricular subjects</strong>: Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, Alchemy<br><br><strong>Marks</strong>: <br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - A<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>History of Magic<em> - D<br><em>Potions</em> - O<br><br><em>(optional courses)</em><br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Divination</em> - D<br><em>Alchemy</em>- O<br><br></em></em><hr><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Connections:</strong></span><br><br><strong>Silas Cork (6th year):</strong> "I'm ashamed to be seen with that Muggle-born.

Although it is very possible that her father has magical blood, Grace has never spoken about magic with him. Despite not knowing about magic through personal experience or relatives, she found out about the magical world that existed beneath the surface of the non-magical one. Much to her delight, she found out that she possessed the ability to produce magic; her wish had come true.<br><br><em>Mother</em> - Madeline Carter | Secretary | Muggle | Never married <br><br><em>Father</em> - Preston Holmes | Bio-medical Engineer | Presumed Muggle | Never married<br><br><em>Maternal Grandparents</em> - Daniel &amp; Julie Carter | Retired Entrepreneurs | Muggle | The Carter's ran their own bakery/coffee house <br><br><em>Paternal Grandparents</em> - Unknown <br><br><strong>History</strong>: Grace has a history that isn't entirely uncommon, though perhaps it is possibly a story which is less commonly told. It all began with the story of her parents, who were never supposed to be involved with each other in the first place. Preston was a teacher at the University of Oregon while Madeline was a student there. He taught students in the Bio-Medical Engineering program, which was not the field that Madeline was interested in pursuing. However, Preston also spent some time coaching as a guidance counselor. Madeline stopped by the office one day, as a spur of the moment decision to kill time in between classes, happening upon Preston and seeking advice from him about the future of her education endeavors, beyond fulfilling her gen ed's. After their first session together, Preston suggested that Madeline return before choosing classes for the following semester so that he could help her select the best courses. Soon enough, they were seeking any and every excuse to see one another again. Though it may have been deemed a bit inappropriate, Preston pretended he had plans one night and wouldn't be able to talk with her at the University, but invited her out to a local bar in order to discuss her future. One thing led to another and two months later, Madeline realized she was pregnant.<br><br>After much inner turmoil, Madeline decided she needed to tell Preston and broke the news to him over coffee the following Saturday, at a cafe neither of them frequented, in the hopes of avoiding being spotted. She told Preston that she didn't expect for him to do anything about it, since she had decided to keep the baby. Yet, the truth was, Madeline had no plan and no means of supporting a baby on her own. Her parents would likely help her given the circumstances, but she wasn't working and had no savings, as well as limited health insurance. Preston knew this much and despite Madeline's insistence for him not to feel obligated to help, he promised to provide a portion of his paycheck to Madeline every month, to help out with the expenses. Unfortunately, their relationship couldn't be public knowledge, since it was not only completely unprofessional, but also grounds for termination. Otherwise, Preston may have felt an obligation to marry Madeline. But, as it happened, the pair never got married, Madeline moved back in with her parents and Grace was born. Preston continued teaching and occasionally would visit Madeline and Grace, though it was difficult for him to truly feel connected to his daughter. <br><br>Over the years, they got better at being around one another and Preston opened up more about being a father. However, Preston was still too afraid to step up, marry Madeline, and be a permanent fixture in his daughter's life. When Grace became a toddler, Preston took a permanent leave from the University. He got a job in the field he had always taught, which kept him away from his small family for long hours, making it nearly impossible for them to flourish or move on to the next step. Preston was always talking about moving in and visiting more, but his promises were almost never followed through. Thankfully, Madeline's parents had saved up enough that they were able to get her a suitable apartment. they came over often and babysat frequently while Madeline finished her schooling and got a job as a secretary to a local muggle office. Preston still visited frequently and sometimes even took Grace out for the day, though that was seldom. The pair continued to live separately, almost reminiscent of a divorced couple, though they had never been married.<br><br>The next part of the story is about Grace herself, who despite not growing up under ideal circumstances, was rather well adjusted. She always danced to the beat of her own drum, not minding who was staring along the way. Over the years, she developed several hobbies and fascinations. One such example being an affinity for magic. Grace was curious and inspired by magic and the possibility of another world filled with witches and wizards, at a very young age. Though most of that was waved off as an active imagination. When the time finally came for Grace to discover that even non-magical people could develop the ability to create and produce magic, she started wishing at every chance she got; on shooting stars, when the clock read 11:11, and after throwing pennies into the fountain at the mall - wishing and hoping that someday, somehow, she might be able to join that world and become one of them. That world she was convinced existed, no matter how many people told her no. <br><br>When she was old enough to start high school, her wish had come true, and she discovered that she possessed a quality which enabled her to make magic. After convincing her mom for the entirety of summer, Madeline finally agreed to let her go to school at Hogwarts, but didn't tell Preston it was a school for witches and wizards. Instead, she informed Grace's dad that Grace simply wanted to attend a high school level finishing program in Scotland. This year marks Grace's second at Hogwarts and still her father doesn't know the truth, nor the details, of what she is leaning there. Then again, Grace is unaware of the truth behind her father's genealogy and whether or not any magic runs in his blood, and on his side of the family. Magic was not discussed often between Grace and her parents, or between Grace and her grandparents for that matter. For the life of her, she couldn't figure out why; Was it taboo? Was it just too mysterious? Or was it too unbelievable? <br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Magic and the magical world, Reading, Anime, Manga, Japanese things (snacks, trends, drinks, art), Video games, Puns, Puzzles, Board games, Cooking, Baking, Fashion, Makeup, Dancing like no one's watching, Singing like no one's listening, Quoting songs and lines from movies that she's memorized, Musicals, Fairy tales, Daydreaming, Making others laugh, Trying anything once, Wishful thinking, Good surprises<br><br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Getting her bubble burst, Broken things, Breaking things, Pessimism, Dark magic and all that it encompasses, Being lied to, Being led on, Bad surprises&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: How ironic it is that her name is Grace, yet she's rather clumsy.<br><br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Every day is glorious! Grace lives each day to the fullest, or always strives to, anyway. <br><br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Failing so hard at Flying lessons (because she's deathly afraid of heights) that she literally had to be helped down from the tree she got stuck in. Thank goodness it wasn't the Whomping Willow. <br><br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> No regrets!

This assumption was in fact wrong. Charlie quickly picked up the skills of speech and bipedal travel before her parents had expected her to, her silent study served to help her learn quickly so that she could explore the world unimpeded. <br>Charlie loved to explore, curious and excited by every new thing, enjoying the world as it came to her. Charlie made friends with other kids in her neighborhood happy to lead them on adventures both real and imagined often leading to chastisement from worried parents when they got into too much trouble. Some of the other children began to spend less time with Charlie as strange things happened around Charlie, as she began to show signs of her magic.<br>In school Charlie was far too focused on exploring to pay attention in class like she should, always looking for the next adventure whatever that may be. One adventure that Charlie found she particularly enjoyed was sports, the exercise, the competition and the company more than slightly desirable for the young witch.<br>Charlie is very active and curious about many things, but she does not like structured learning like she enjoys learning through experience.<br><strong>Likes</strong>: Sports both magical and muggle, adventure, cheesy movies, pudding, good company, and good hearted pranks.<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Being talked down to, betrayal, being lonely, and being helpless.<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Scoring the winning goal for her football team.<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: At a young age when Charlies best friend didn't show up for a picnic they had planned she found her under the playground slide kissing a boy, in her anger the mud beneath them began to bubble, popping and covering them in mud.<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Not being more honest with herself.<br><strong>Extracurricular activities:</strong> Charlie wants to play quidditch having always enjoyed watching with her parents.

If she needs to she'll back down whilst biding her time for the future. She is a patient person, having learnt a long time ago that waiting isn't a bad thing, that sometimes you need to wait for what you want, and the anticipation of a getting something is almost as good as getting it. She is ambitious and has a very lofty dream,&nbsp; she wants to change things for the better but she's unsure of how to do that.<br><br>Moray is intelligent there is no denying that she enjoys using large words, however, this can make her come across as a little arrogant. She also isn't the warmest person, she likes to keep people at a distance from her parents to people she works with. She also likes to watch people, her favourite thing to do is sit in a pub and just observe, you can learn a lot about people from watching them talk.

This talk caused the ire of a rejected witch, claiming that for 400 births there will never be a female Moray born, the family never took the curse seriously, until generations after generations only boys were born. There was a time when every family in England and Scotland had a Moray in it, the family started to look further afield, turning to Northern Europe for brides, their dark Scottish looks turning paled and redder with each Nordic bride.<br><br>Greyson's parents believed that they were going to have another boy, they had several boys they believed their next child was also male, that coupling with the fact that the Moray family hadn't had a girl born into the family for at least 6 generation (there was also a rumor that there was an old family curse) so it was a dead cert that she'd be born a boy. A few months before she was born Lucille's father passed away, she started to call her unborn baby Greyson to keep her family name going, when Grey was born they just kept the name wanting to honour her father.<br><br>Greyson Moray and Finley Morrigan met at Hogwarts, they were in the same year and house, they knew each other through their time at the school and they hated each other. It was as if they couldn't be in the same room with one another without starting a fight. The summer ball their 6th year was a catalyst for their relationship. Greyson had been asked to go by someone else Finlay had just split from his girlfriend and was happy to be going alone. As Greyson danced with her partner his hands started to wonder, she was not too happy with the idea, the guy was a known letch and she had only accepted his offer because she didn't want to be alone.<br><br>Finley stood by the buffet table watching the dancing when he noticed Greyson practically dragged outside by this guy. Without a second thought he gave chase, landing a right hook on the guy as Greyson was giving a left to him, the guy fell to Finley's punch as he fell to Greyson's. She stood over him, a bemused look on her face before helping him up. From that moment onwards, anger turned to passion.<br><br>Within two months Greyson was expecting, both families wanted to hide the pregnancy for the sake of their both reputations. Since they were both young and stubborn they dug their heels in marrying before Moray was born, Greyson carried on the tradition naming her daughter after her family name, hoping Moray would do the same in the future.<br><br>With help from their families, Greyson and Finlay finished school, Greyson found her passion for writing increasing, at every opportunity she would disappear for the latest story. Finlay stayed at home, looking after Moray and working his ministry job slowly clawing his way up the ladder essentially as a single father.<br><br>Moray had a fairly normal childhood, she was treated like a princess by both sides of her family, but there was one person who kept her at a distance. Her mother was never really a part of her life, she would drop in between stories but there was no connection there, she was just the woman who would show up every so often, hand her a trinket from some land and leave. Despite his best to keep her from seeing how unhappy he was, she saw the anger on his face when her mother would show up, she would hear the fights through the walls.<br><br>As she got older she stayed longer at her grandparent's house, before being homeschooled with her cousins. Her uncles and cousins were incredibly protective of her, which made her feel smothered by them so when she finally arrived at Hogwarts she went a little wild.<br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Coffee, Flying, Running, Ice cream, Quiet, Coffee, Her legs, Being in the common room late night, Coffee Ice cream, Astronomy. Spending time with her Great-Grandmother and hearing her stories.<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Loud/Noisy people, Take out food, Her mother, Herbology<br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: Not making a good first impression, she is seen as a cold-hearted bitch. Being the girl that ate all the ice cream the second night she was at school.<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Eating all the ice cream on the second night she was at school. Getting a good grade in History of Magic and Astronomy<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Getting stomach ache from the ice cream incident. Having her older cousins calling her Mo-mo at school. <br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong>: Being the cause of her father’s unhappiness. Turning down the ice cream on her first day at school for fear of being the girl that ate all the ice cream. Turning down the first guy that asked her out.<br><strong>Extra curricular subjects</strong>: Astronomy<br><strong>Marks</strong>:<br><br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - A<br><em>Herbology</em> - P ( Too much dirt)<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>History of Magic<em> - O (Quiet enjoys reading about the past)<br><em>Potions</em> - A<br><br><br>(optional courses starting 3rd year)<br><br><em>Astronomy</em> - O (Being quiet certainly appeals to her)<br><br></em></em><hr><br>Moray's opinion of Silas. "Silas likes to fill the silence with his brand of nonsense, but that is just him way of avoiding, the past, his family and his need to be average. I only hope that he will eventually accept his own worth as a person and become the man he is destined to be. <br><br>Also he brings me ice cream, such an enabler."<br><br><hr><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Pictures</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.imgur.com/JigRCJ0.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/ZmyQZKq.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/pIGIjq6.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/k7ikIYj.jpg)<br></div></div></div>

His only distinguishing feature is a small birthmark on his left dimple.<br><br><strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>: Gay (semi-closeted) While not particularly sexually active up until this point in his life, Xerxes has internally accepted that he is gay, but has yet to proudly wave a rainbow flag. He doesn’t hide it – particularly from strangers, but he doesn’t discuss it with his family.<br><br><strong>Home</strong>: Bowness-on-Solway, a small coastal hamlet at the far Western edge of Northumberland on the England/Scotland border.<br><br><strong>Personality</strong>: <br>Curiosity…Xerxes is full of curiosity and constantly seeking new knowledge. Sometimes this constant question asking can get annoying. His mind is constantly processing information and he sometimes feels if he doesn’t understand everything he’ll explode. Xerxes is bright and full of facts but lacks strategic application of knowledge. In other words, he could recite most theory and mechanics of magic, but is not adept at implementing into successful spellcasting. It likely comes from the lack of experience with magic users.<br><br>Naïve…Xerxes has a certain amount of naivete when it comes to others. He doesn’t easily catch innuendo regardless that he is fiercely intelligent.<br><br>Mellow…Xerxes is easy going in his demeanor. He doesn’t have much of a temper and gets along with most people.<br><br>Introverted…Xerxes is mostly an introvert. He isn’t shy, but tends to speak to ask questions rather than give his opinion. He feels more comfortable in small groups.<br><br><strong>Family</strong>: Xerxes parents William and Margaret are Muggles that own a Bed &amp; Breakfast in Bowness-on-Solway which caters to guests who are walking Hadrian’s Wall or interested in the tides. It is uncertain as to where Xerxes’ magical heritage originated as none of his known family attended a magical school.<br><br><strong>History</strong>: Xerxes grew up in a loving family that was self-sufficient in their small community. While now retired, his grandfather made his living off the sea from fishing and selling his catch. His grandmother was the perfect grandmother – doting, wonderful cook, and warm. <br><br>Xerxes’ parents took advantage of the tourism industry in the region and opened a Bed &amp; Breakfast, the High Tide Inn. As a result of operating guest accommodations, his father was constantly fixing broken doors or repairing a malfunctioning appliance. It is likely Xerxes gained his interest in tinkering from watching his father. His mother was the epitome of a welcoming host – always making people feel like part of the family. Both were well read and spoke several languages, learned over the years of hosting foreign visitors. <br><br>Growing up, Xerxes spent is time not only following around his parents, but also taking advantage of the sea. Bowness-on-Solway was a small port on the Irish sea. Xerxes enjoyed boating and swimming in the cold sea and investigating what was brought in with the tides each day which plowed in and out like clockwork.<br><br>Xerxes attended school in nearby Carlisle and was the top of his class. He had particular interest in sciences and even had a thought of becoming an engineer. When the invitation to Hogwarts came his family was taken off guard and introduced to a world they never fathomed existed. Before school was to head back into session Xerxes met a guy his age, Jason, that was staying with his aunt and uncle. Jason played rugby for his high school and had stories of London that fed Xerxes curiosity. One night their discussions evolved and Xerxes had his first intimate encounter. Jason made it clear that there would be no relationship and it was just for fun. It impacted Xerxes both positively and negatively – he became self-aware of his sexuality, but also hurt when Jason slammed the door on any relationship. <br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Inventing things (tinkering), combining charms and technology, reading, libraries, and swimming<br><br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Machismo, arrogance, battling, egotism, and ignorance<br><br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Xerxes was on his way to being valedictorian of his class before the invitation from Hogwarts was received.<br><br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Before leaving home for Hogwarts, Xerxes was approached by a rugby player in high school that was staying with his aunt and uncle. The two got along and it quickly became physical. Unfortunately, it was made clear that there would be no long-term relationship – only the pleasure.<br><br><strong>Biggest Regret</strong>: Hiding his sexual orientation from his parents.<br><br><strong>Extra-curricular activities</strong>: Primarily academics, boating and swimming.<br>

Selling their services at the shop and away, as well as tea's, incense, trinkets, "charms", crystals, and cards for people to take home.

Wanting to not be held accountable for her families life style, she went to her ministry when she got her letter for the Russian school and begged to go anywhere else.

				<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/EPC253u.jpg)</div><strong>Name</strong>: Loveday Marley<br><strong>Age/Birth date</strong>: 22 / April 21st<br><strong>Blood Status</strong>: Half-blood<br><strong>House</strong>: Hufflepuff<br><strong>Year</strong>: 6th<br><strong>Wand</strong>: Poplar with Thunderbird Feather core, 12"<br><strong>Apparation license?</strong> Yes <br><strong>FaceClaim</strong>: Eva Wahlström<br><strong>Height/Weight</strong>: 5'6" / 128 lbs<br><strong>Hair Color</strong>: Brown<br><strong>Eyes</strong>: Brown<br><strong>Distinguishing Marks</strong>:&nbsp; She has an ornate tattoo on her arm that is often covered with a simple illusion, largely based on her mood.<br><strong>Sexual Orentation</strong>: Omnivore. <br><strong>Home</strong>: Newcastle, England<br><strong>Personality</strong>: Tough, proud, competitive, happy-go-lucky but guarded. <br><strong>Family</strong>: <br><br>Mother: Iris Marley, non-practicing witch and interior decorator. <br><br>Father: Jack Marley, professional alcoholic and medical fraud enthusiast. <br><br><strong>History</strong>: <br><br>The daughter of a Geordie witch and a man who would be a bum without her mother, Loveday was raised in a completely muggle manner. Loveday's mother, formerly a bright and promising witch of House Gryffindor, had been in love with a Slytherin boy named Peter Malkins a year above her. They both swore to each other their love would overcome the conflicts of their time, but neither the Ministry nor the Death Eaters believed them and they were shunned by their own people. Iris has never told the story of how Peter died, or who killed him, but that she holds magic use as a whole responsible, hinting that Voldemort's followers may have struck the blow but that Dumbledore's people could have stopped it yet did nothing because of his past associations. She swore off the entire conflict and went home, falling to the drink and desperate to forget it all she ended up in love with a local nobody. <br><br>Iris has overcome her addictions and now is a rather successful and respected designer. She had hoped fervently that her talents would not be born again in Loveday, but when the signs began she taught her child to control herself, and gave her some of the wisdom she'd learned from a lifetime of disappointments. She knew her daughter would have to learn to use magic to keep from hurting herself or others, but cautioned her not to get lost in it. Her philosophy was simple - don't take shit from these fools and don't fall in love with any of them.<br><br>Loveday wasn't exactly an obedient child, too much time with her dad at home while mom was at work for that, but she listened to her mom when it came to these sorts of things. And so she was sorted into Hufflepuff with a sigh of relief as she avoided the houses that had ruined her mom's life. She found Hufflepuff nicely non-political, but also a bit too meek for her liking. She quickly learned of how to take her aggression out in Quidditch and made the team as a beater her first year. She helped take the Hufflepuff quidditch team from a bit of a joke to a yearly contender. Her specialty is clubbing the enemy seekers. <br><br>Loveday has made quite a lot of rivals, but no real enemies, in her years. Her tendency to keep her beef on the field, and take it out there, makes her fairly easy to get along with for those who can separate things the same way. For those who can't, she's public enemy number one, not something she shies away from. She's had a few fiery relationships, but nothing that's lasted very long. Despite her mom's advice, she falls in love rather easily. And out just as fast. <br><br>The one subject that she's really excelled in defense against dark arts. Her instincts tend to very good, and she has a gift for being much better at magic when she doesn't overthink it and she is surprisingly competent in practical tests. Written tests she tends to bomb. She has secret aspirations to be an auror, but hasn't told anyone as she is convinced she'll never qualify and doesn't want to be laughed at. One of the reasons she took muggle studies was for the almost automatic O from being raised a muggle to try to boost her resume. <br><br>She's a bit lost as far as her future goes at the moment, with her dual aspirations of aurorhood and perhaps professional quidditch both somewhat rocky, her fallback is to go home and forget she ever learned magic, which is something she would be sad to do but is prepared to consider. <br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Flying, the outdoors, rural areas, physical competition, straightforward and honest people. <br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Studying, politics, popularity contests. <br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: Helping her house win the Quidditch cup by taking out the other team's seeker just as they were about to grab the snitch. <br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Every Quidditch game her team has won. Kissing her crush in front of everyone at the dance her 2nd year. <br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Most of these involve receiving grades. A few times being victim of pranks. Breaking up with the same crush at the same dance her 3rd year. <br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Likely not having the grades to become an Auror<br><strong>Extra curricular subjects</strong>: Quidditch (she may be in a few clubs but I'm not sure what the options are!)<br><strong>Marks</strong>:<br><em>Charms</em> - A<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - A<br><em>Herbology</em> - A<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>History of Magic</em> - D<br><em>Potions</em> - P<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - A<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - D<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Connections<span class="bbc_u"></span></span></strong>:<br><br><strong>Silas Cork</strong> (Jag) - Talk about a wazzock that's propa outta fettle.

				<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/thumb/d/d4/Hogwarts_Character_Dante.jpg/597px-Hogwarts_Character_Dante.jpg)</div><strong>Name</strong>:&nbsp; Dante Fairchild<br><strong>Age/Birthdate</strong>:&nbsp; June 1st, 2000<br><strong>Blood Status</strong>:&nbsp; Pure<br><strong>House</strong>: (Will be told upon acceptance)<br><strong>Year</strong>: 1st Year<br><strong>Wand</strong>:&nbsp; Chestnut, Thunderbird Feather Core, 13 inches;&nbsp; <em>Other Details:&nbsp; Dante went through about 50 wands (might be slightly exaggerated) before this one was brought forth.&nbsp; When the wand chose him, he was quite surprised to learn that the feather came from a Thunderbird that his grandfather in America had acquired and donated to the wandmakers.)</em><br><strong>FaceClaim</strong>:&nbsp; Vincent Cassel<br><strong>Height/Weight</strong>:&nbsp; 5'7" (171cm) / 155lbs (70 kilos)<br><strong>Hair Color</strong>:&nbsp; Black<br><strong>Eyes</strong>:&nbsp; Hazel<br><strong>Distinguishing Marks</strong>: A small, thin, faint scar just above just his left eye, about 2 inches long from a tussle with a cat during his childhood.<br><strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>:&nbsp; Pansexual<br><strong>Home</strong>:&nbsp; Birmingham, England (Just outside the town border on a plot of land with Muggle-repelling charms)<br><strong>Personality</strong>:&nbsp; Dante is someone who, when he makes a friend, he stays loyal to them until the end.&nbsp; He also happens to be a bit stubborn and will claw away at a problem until he either solves it or it proves to be too much for him.&nbsp; However, he will remember the problem and, though he walks away from it, will come back later and better prepared to face it.&nbsp; Despite that, he's a good sport, willing to roll with the punches and jabs of life.&nbsp; Winning or losing, he always comes around in the end.&nbsp; Despite that, he can be pretty rash at times, which can get him into trouble when he acts on instinct and impulse.<br><strong>Family</strong>: <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Gabriel Fairchild:&nbsp; (Brother - Aged 34):&nbsp; One of a set of triplets, Gabriel was a natural-born Chaser who, despite his up-and-down grades, managed to get himself recruited to the Quidditch team, 'Puddlemere United.'&nbsp; He is currently on his third year on the team.</li><li>Marcus Fairchild:&nbsp; (Brother - Aged 34):&nbsp; The second of the triplets, Marcus was also gifted in Quiddich, but a Beater rather than a Chaser.&nbsp; However, his gifts paled compared to Gabriel, but not so much that he wasn't accepted into the Chudley Cannons two years ago when one of their Beaters retired from the team.</li><li>Leon Fairchile:&nbsp; Brother - Aged 34):&nbsp; Unlike his other siblings, Leon could care less for Quidditch.&nbsp; Instead, he dedicated his life to studying magical creatures.&nbsp; He is currently on an expedition to observe Fire Crabs.</li><li>Leslie Fairchild:&nbsp; (Sister - Aged 36):&nbsp; A Healer, she spends most of her time at St. Mungos in the animal-related injuries department on the First Floor.&nbsp; It's hard work, but someone has to do it.</li><li>Maria Fairchild:&nbsp; (Mother - Aged 55):&nbsp; A Healer like her daughter, she specializes in crafting potions to cure the sick on the Second Floor.&nbsp; It is her philosophy that if someone has the power to help, then they should.&nbsp; She takes that to heart in every single way.</li><li>Daniel Fairchild:&nbsp; (Father - Aged 58):&nbsp; He used to work at the Ministry of Magic's Fourth Floor until an encounter with a dragon escaping allowed him to make the decision to retire for good.&nbsp; He now works as an advisor to the Ministry when it comes to magical and dangerous creatures rather than going out into the field.</li><li>Jonas Fairchild:&nbsp; (Uncle, twice removed - Aged 62):&nbsp; A very reclusive man, he thinks that the Dark Days of Voldemort are still happening and that the Dark Lord faked his death.&nbsp; He currently lives alone on a very small, Unplottable piece of land, surrounded by magical booby traps that allow only one way in or out.&nbsp; Luckily, the place is so far out of the way that there's almost zero chance of any Muggle stumbling in on the traps.&nbsp; Jonas always sends strange and weird things to Dante randomly and always says that he reminds him of him when Jonas was Dante's age, which somewhat disturbs him slightly</li><li>Melinda Fairchild (Grandmother - Aged 81):&nbsp; Melinda currently lives overseas in America when she followed her beloved back there.&nbsp; Dante doesn't know a lot about her other than the fact that she is a firm believer in Divination.</li><li>Alexander Fields (Grandfather - Aged 90):&nbsp; An magical creature enthusiast, he took the name of his wife instead of the other way around.&nbsp; Despite his advanced age, he still acts like a young man and is always filled with a sense of wonder.&nbsp; Is currently working with his wife of 60 years, protecting the rare Thunderbirds in America.</li><li>Lily Fairchild (Great Grandmother - Deceased):&nbsp; One of many who were caught up in the mass murders committed by Death Eaters, she died defending her Muggle love and her family, sacrificing her life to buy them time to get away.&nbsp; Her (Muggle) sons keep in touch with the Fairchilds, sending letters by Muggle post every couple of months because Lily was very much loved.</li></ul><strong>History</strong>: Soon after Dante's father met his mother, he moved from Ireland to England where she could study her interests in more comfort.&nbsp; About two years later, Leslie was born.&nbsp; Two years after that, the triplets were born.&nbsp; Finally, after about ten years, Dante came into the world.<br><br>From an early age, Dante learned the family history and claims that they were directly related to one of Hogwarts' great founders, Helga Hufflepuff.&nbsp; There really wasn't any proof to those claims, but it did seem like the entire bloodline going back to around that time were Hufflepuff from top to bottom.&nbsp; Other than that, there was really no distinct proof one way or the other.&nbsp; But, who was he to question it when the entire family believed it so?<br><br>In any event, he went to a nearby Muggle school and found it interesting, if somewhat dull in comparison to what he knew about Hogwarts from his siblings.&nbsp; Luckily, he managed to make it through school without causing an magical accident.&nbsp; A miracle considering that his brother, Gabriel, had nearly set the school on fire while Marcus exploded the sprinklers.&nbsp; That, apparently, was a day of infamy and mystery for the school.&nbsp; To this day, the rumors of a ghost haunting the place persist.<br><br>Finally, Dante came of age to attend Hogwarts and he had big shoes to fill considering all of his older siblings excelled in different places:&nbsp; Gabriel in Quidditch, Marcus in Charms, Leon in Care of Magical Creatures, and Leslie in Potions.&nbsp; He was certain that he would be compared to his siblings in all of those areas.&nbsp; Still, he looked forward to Hogwarts in all its glory, from Quidditch tryouts to the magical creatures to even the Great Hall itself.<br><br>So, after a lengthy trip to Diagon Alley where he spent way too much time getting a wand, he was finally prepared to go to Hogwarts, to make a name for himself, and to find a way to keep out of his elder siblings' shadows....<br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Being right, Candy, Magical Creatures (The more dangerous, the more interesting!), Trying new forms of Magic, Candy, Reading, Quidditch (particularly the Chaser position as it seems to have the most action), and did I mention Candy (he has a major sweet tooth for the different kinds of sweets)?&nbsp; He also really enjoys Quidditch (though he only ever borrowed one of his brothers' when they played during family gatherings since he has none of his own).<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Fish, Arithmancy and Divination (Boring!), and riding the Knight Bus (He has never NOT gotten sick on that thing).<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>:&nbsp; Seeing an adult dragon when he visited Leon a few years ago.&nbsp; It's what got him started in his love for dangerous magical creatures;&nbsp; Beating his entire, immediate family in Wizard Chess, including Marcus who was one of the best when he was at Hogwarts (though that involved a bit of luck on Dante's part).<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: The first time he rode the Knight Bus, he got sick all over some M.O.M. guy;&nbsp; Seeing someone in St. Mungo's who had been badly cursed;&nbsp; The fear that the number of wands he'd gone through meant that no wand was right for him and he wouldn't be allowed to enter Hogwarts.<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong>&nbsp; Not standing up for Leslie when she brought home her girlfriend for the first time to a family gathering and hearing his grandparents speak very negatively about it.&nbsp; The sight of Leslie's tears still haunts him because he ran the opposite direction instead of defending her.<br><strong>Extra-curricular activities:</strong> Dante wants to try out for the Quidditch team (any position will do, though he has to admit that the Chaser position is a little more desirable);&nbsp; He also wants to get up close with dangerous creatures in Care of Magical Creatures;&nbsp; Charms and Tranfiguration also greatly interest him.<br><br><strong>Animal:</strong>&nbsp; Has a Great Horned Owl named Felix<br>(https://78.media.tumblr.com/b013afaf59f107da5ef85905551366d8/tumblr_okwf57KJLT1ta40gjo1_500.jpg)

While most of their origin might be lost that hasn’t stopped this pure-blood family from sticking to the general roots they’ve inherited over those long generations. The most prominent of which being their general detest for muggles and muggle-born wizards and witches, and their disdain for polluting the bloodline. While the history of the Warde family has faded, their prominence has not. They still attempt to hold positions of power within the wizardly role, though with the latest generations that prominence has begun to fade, and the only real prominence they are known for is the stash of wizarding artifacts and relics stashed away in their personal repository.<br><br>The latest generation of the Warde family is considered to have the most potential, however, that hasn’t exactly panned out. As Nathaniel Warde is the eldest male of the younger generation and instead of rising to prominence he has been, according to his family, lack luster. Still, he’s still done better than the eldest of the Warde children. His cousin, Sarah, has set the bar of expectations extremely low so that even his debauchery and mischief hardly rank high on the families priorities. That doesn’t keep him from trying or misbehaving. Instead it’s more of a challenge to see just how much he could rile up his family, one of the main reasons that he’d convinced his younger cousin into breaking into the family repository to plunder, sell, and use the items before the family had a chance to stop him. Still, at least he hadn’t married a muggle.<br><br>Nathaniel’s time at Hogwarts has been anything other uneventful. While his family might have been given some respite from his shenanigans the staff at Hogwarts hasn’t been quite so fortunate. While at Hogwarts Nathaniel has established a little enterprise in secret, only because if he was discovered he’d risk expulsion and being dragged back into his families matters. Though he’d been quite successful these four years of keeping his business under wraps while still allowing it to grow. Items ranging from simple pranks to more nefarious items such as textbooks with vanishing answers or hidden cheat sheets for those that couldn’t be bothered to study.

Like many Pureblood families, the genealogy stretches far, and as such, has been ingrained within her family long before she was born. Nearly all of the marriages that happened throughout the family tree were arranged marriages, which is a practice that many Pureblood families prefer. It has essentially become a tradition, which means every young woman is primed from an early age, in preparation to one day becoming a superior wife and mother. It isn't enough to instruct Pureblood children with the distinguished education of Hogwarts, they also need to be indoctrinated in the Pureblood ways. One such component of that is the understanding and acknowledgement that blood purity is critically important in terms of marriage and reproducing. <br><br>Penny was born the only child to her parents; Daniel and Lillian. Her mother intended to have more children, but after the difficulty she endured and a few health complications that crept up after birth, she procrastinated until it was too late. Penny didn't mind being the only child, in the slightest. Very early in life, she learned how to keep herself occupied and entertained, not needing to rely on others and developing an independence that has remained with her to this day. She grew up surrounded by magic, entirely exposed to the life of a witch and finding it difficult to relate to Muggles, much less blend in with the non-magical society. The day that she received her letter of invitation to magical schooling launched the start of her magical career, though she already had a wand, which had been passed down throughout generations and taken to Ollivander for specifications and mending. <br><br>While the women in Penny's family have largely made a habit out of being homemakers, the men on her father's side often gravitated toward Magical Law Enforcement. While she was growing up, she thought that there could be no bigger worrywart than her father, but he was surpassed easily by her grandfather. She was constantly told story after story about misconduct in the wizarding world, unfortunate disasters and accidents ending in death. Expectations were high for her. She was supposed to always stay the baby that she once was, the good girl who would never get into any sort of trouble and would hate to cause her parents or grandparents to worry about her. However, being raised in such a way, with so much of that sort of pressure on her, only wound up causing Penny to want to misbehave and act out, repelling the ways of the women that came before her, especially the idea of an arranged, Pureblood marriage. <br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Compliments, Rebelling, Parties, Secrets, Gossip, Fashion, Winning, Manipulation (to get her way) <br><br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Being interrupted, Being ignored, Not getting what she wants, Frizzy hair days, Losing<br><br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Being stopped on the street, at the mall and in a coffee shop, by random strangers asking if she was a professional model, or wanted to become one<br><br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Every walk of shame she's had to do <br><br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> The chances she never took.<br><br><strong>Extra-curricular activities:</strong> Ballet, Dueling Club, Choir <br><br><hr><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Avatars</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/33/Penny_Slyth_1.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/70/Penny_Slyth_2.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f5/Penny_Slyth_3.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/0b/Penny_Slyth_4.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/21/Penny_Slyth_5.jpg) <br>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/3e/Penny_Slyth_6.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/98/Penny_Slyth_7.png) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/ec/Penny_Slyth_8.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/78/Penny_Slyth_9.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/9b/Penny_Slyth_10.png)<br></div></div><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Connections</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Dante Fairchild</strong> - Childhood friends. Their pureblood families are connected in one way or another, which allowed the pair to see each other at various functions and parties throughout the years. Penny likes to flirt with Dante and is convinced he may have a small crush on her. But, because he's never made a move, nothing has ever happened. Which is probably a good thing, since they are one another's confidant. Perhaps a brotherly/sisterly sort of relationship, they each have the other's back, no matter what, and anything sexual developing between them puts their close bond in jeopardy. So, they prefer to keep things as they are.<br><br><strong>Topher Dubois</strong> - Friend...ly. Their pureblood families are linked in one way or another, so Penny and Topher have gotten to know each other at various functions and parties over time. Penny has always found Topher cute, and has flirted with him on one occasion, which turned out to be a rather awkward encounter. Topher claimed it was because she was too young for him. Penny didn't quite believe his claim. Maybe there's something else going on with him... something that he's hiding.<br><br><strong>Darcy Fredricksen</strong> - Friends. Despite her family being Muggles, they are still well off and politically savvy. Penny's parents were invited to a couple of get together's hosted by the Fredricksen's, and had to hide their disdain for Muggles all the while. Penny and Darcy hit it off, despite their different blood types. After finding out Darcy was expected to enter Hogwarts this year, she hopes that they both wind up in Slytherin House together.<br><br><strong>Zacharias Warde</strong> - Fling. Their families are connected in one way or another, which has allowed the two to get to know one another at various parties and functions throughout the years. Zacharias and Penny first hooked up last year, with the understanding that their 'fun' would be had without strings attached, since both of them were sure their parents would set them up for an arranged marriage soon. Still, that doesn't change what happened between them very much, does it?<br><br><strong>Nathaniel Warde</strong> - Crush. Penny has had a thing for older guys for some time and after meeting Zacharias' older cousin, she fell victim to the same pattern. Unfortunately, he is a rather notorious skirt chaser and can be a bit of a prick, at that. Even still, he's very fit, and always managed to capture Penny's attention. Whether he's being a prick, or not.<br></div></div><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Scenes</div><div class="spoiler_body">Hogwarts Express (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=284486.msg14007178#msg14007178)<br></div></div></div></div>

The first, on the right shoulder, is his family’s clan crest with its motto: ‘S Rioghal Mo Dhream (royal is my race). The second, on the left shoulder, is his family’s clan shield with its rally cry: Ard Choille! (height of wood). <br><br><strong>Sexual Orentation</strong>: Bi – prefers guys right now<br><br><strong>Home</strong>: Iain was raised on the Isle of Skye in northwestern Scotland.<br><br><strong>Personality</strong>:<br>Courage – Iain is above all courageous. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the strength to overcome it. This is a strong character trait of his family who have long been champions of good.<br><br>Resolve – On one hand this can be considered stubborn or obstinate and even impetuous, on the other hand resolve is the willpower to act decisively and without second guessing. Once Iain has made a decision, he acts on it. It can be difficult to dissuade him or move him from his path.<br><br>Extroversion – Iain gets his energy from being around others and in crowds. He loathes both boredom and loneliness.<br><br>Loyalty –Being a part of the McGregor clan (literally a large family), Iain learned fierce loyalty to those around him. This carries in his life with friends and even in certain circumstances his foes. <br><br><strong>Family</strong>: <br><br>The McGregor clan, as denoted by its motto “royal is my race” descended from King Griogair, an ancient Scottish king. They are a proud family heritage spanning generations in Scotland.<br><br>Siblings (youngest to oldest): Gavin McGregor, Kenneth McGregor, Camden McGregor, Malcolm McGregor, Angus McGregor, and Conor McGregor. All except Camden graduated magical school and work in some way with the Ministry of Magic. Camden is a healer for St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.<br><br>Parents: William McGregor – Anna Crawford<br>Both William and Anna worked for the Ministry of Magic. William worked within the Department of Magical Games and Sports. Anna worked within the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, specializing as an Obliviator. <br><br>Grandparents: Angus McGregor – Jayne Webster<br>Angus worked in the Department of International Magical Cooperation and spent many years in New York where he met Jayne Spence. Jayne taught no-Maj (Muggle) studies for a school in the States. The two retired to a small community called Pitlochry. <br><br>Great Grandparents: Conor McGregor – Bonnie Campbell <br>Conor worked in the Department of Magical Games and Sports. Alice was a homemaker. They lived in Skye until their deaths.<br><br><strong>History</strong>: <br>Iain grew up as the youngest in a family of seven boys, his mother and father. The McGregor family had always had connections to the Ministry of Magic and it was assumed that most would enter the Ministry’s service after graduation. All of his brothers did so, save one who worked for St Mungo’s Hospital. Growing up in the Isle of Skye was an idyllic life for Iain. There was hard work, but it paid off as the family had land and spent most of the time enjoying each other’s company.<br><br>As the youngest, Iain also had to learn quickly to fend for himself against older brothers. He was often pushed around and considered a tag-along. Knowing that Iain might be her last child (which came true), his mother, Anna, was particularly fond of him. She took extra time of from her position as an Obliviator for the Ministry to be with Iain as a young boy.<br><br>Iain didn’t exactly excel at studies in school, but he managed. He never failed a class but he was far from ever being close to valedictorian. He wasn’t stupid, just not academic. Extracurricular activities were another story. It seemed whatever sport he picked up Iain could not only do, but excel at it. He even tried curling once while touring the quarry where the stones are excavated. It was a surprising success. Iain didn’t continue playing – the sport didn’t interest him enough (not enough physicality).<br><br>At Hogwarts, Iain is an avid Quidditch follower and loves rugby. At Hogwarts he joined the Quidditch team and has played as a keeper and a beater. Iain’s academic marks are par for him. The one class that he fancies most is Defense Against the Dark Arts. It seemed to be more of a strategy/sport than a class like Potions. <br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Athletics including Quidditch and rugby, Defense Against the Dark Arts, hanging out with friends, and Italian food.<br><br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Potions, Herbology – anything that requires significant reading and theoretical knowledge, being alone, boredom, inactivity, and dishonesty.<br><br><strong>Best Known For</strong>:&nbsp; Easy to get along with and excellent athlete.<br><br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Iain is most proud of his extra-curricular activities, mainly involving sports. Outside of Hogwarts Iain was most frequently Captain of his sports teams and led teams to victory.<br><br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: It would be hard for Iain to find a moment of shame. He doesn’t feel embarrassment about his actions. Most of the time there is good reason for his actions.<br><br><strong>Biggest Regret</strong>: Iain has no verbalized regrets. Looking back is pessimistic and lingering on what can’t be changed. Realistically he has sometimes acted without thinking – most of the time this comes off as positive, but occasionally he has made a wrong decision.<br><br><strong>Extracurricular subjects</strong>: None<br><br><strong>Marks</strong>: <br><br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - A<br><em>Herbology</em> - A<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>History of Magic<em> - A<br><em>Potions</em> - A<br></em></em>

				<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/zBH7g7K.jpg)</div><strong>Name</strong>: Darcy Fredricksen<br><strong>Age/Birthdate</strong>: 17 July 9th 2000<br><strong>Blood Status</strong>: Muggle Born<br><strong>House</strong>: Hufflepuff<br><strong>Year</strong>: 1st Year<br><strong>Wand</strong>: 16inch Hazel, Dragon Heartstring, swishy<br><strong>FaceClaim</strong>: Jenna Rosenow<br><strong>Height/Weight</strong>: 5ft9 120lbs<br><strong>Hair Color</strong>: Blonde&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><strong>Eyes</strong>: Blue<br><strong>Distinguishing Marks</strong>: Excluding her blonde hair and blue eyes, Darcy has a long scar up the back of her right arm when she was thrown from a horse when she was a child.<br><strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>: Straight<br><strong>Home</strong>: Bray, England<br><strong>Personality</strong>: Darcy is very caring towards her family, her cousins are always so loud and busy she feels like she's never alone. She is energetic she loves to swim and she will never back down from a fight, she knows what is right and will do anything she can to make it right. She is incredibly outspoken in a sarcastic way.<br><br>She is terribly impatient especially around the holidays, she hates surprises. Darcy is disorganized her bed is usually unmade and she has a hard time to finding anything in her trunk. She is very clumsy as well, she tends to trip over nothing, she usually has a couple of bruises at anyone time. <br><br><strong>Family</strong>: <br><br><strong>Name:</strong> Davis Fredricksen<br><strong>Relation:</strong> Father<br><strong>Age:</strong> 58<br><strong>Blood status:</strong> Muggle<br><strong>Occupation:</strong> Politician<br><br><strong>Name:</strong> Laurel Fredricksen nee McHale<br><strong>Relation:</strong> Mother<br><strong>Age:</strong> 55<br><strong>Blood status:</strong> Muggle <br><strong>Occupation:</strong> Housewife<br><br><strong>Name:</strong> William Fredricksen (Freddy to his friends)<br><strong>Relation:</strong> Brother<br><strong>Age:</strong> 33<br><strong>Blood status:</strong> Muggle<br><strong>Occupation:</strong> Dragon Handler<br><br><strong>Name:</strong> Phillipa Fredricksen <br><strong>Relation:</strong> Sister<br><strong>Age:</strong> 29<br><strong>Blood status:</strong> Muggle<br><strong>Occupation:</strong> Healer<br><br><br><strong>History</strong>: When Davis Fredricksen married Laurel McHale it was a political marriage. The political Fredricksen family were broke, they had to mortgage their home, pawn the jewellery, it was dire. That was until the eldest son and renown playboy Davis was introduced to Laurel, a wealthy heiress her family had ties to offshore drilling companies (amongst other non-legitimate things).<br><br>With renewed fortunes the Fredricksen's were saved, there was a condition; children. Davis could parade them about whilst he ran for MP and even his failed attempt at party leader, but Laurel demanded children with the Fredricksen name.<br><br>William was born first, then Phillipa in the middle and finally Darcy the baby of the family arriving several years after the other two. When William was given his letter it was a shock, the idea that there was this whole other world out there full of witches and wizards, dragons and all kinds of monsters terrified Davis. How could he hold office if he wasn't privy to this information? <br><br>Davis came to realise that this new world had a political structure, that he could groom William to achieve his potential to lead. William had other ideas, he wanted to work with dragons. Phillipa next resisted her father's ideas, she wants to be a healer, to help the world not control it. Darcy, on the other hand, is very receptive to her father's idea, only because she wants to gain his approval. Her father's goal for her is to become the Minister of Magic or at the very least have the ear of whoever that might be, she hasn't figured out what her own goal is.<br><br>Darcy's home life was always a little cold in regards to her parents, her father barely saw her preferring to be out with her friends or sleeping with any woman who would look at him. Her mother tended criticized her looks on a near daily basis making her a little insecure, so the fact she can leave them both to get to school certainly make her relieved.<br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Swimming, Singing, Animals, Playing the Piano, Candy. <br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Tidying, Coffee, Being told what to wear. Her house.<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: The moment she received her letter, after years of hearing stories from her siblings. <br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Her 16th Birthday party which was filled with her parents' associates. Being put into Hufflepuff.<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> The dress she was forced to wear for her 16th birthday, she didn't say anything since she wanted to make her mother happy. Instead, she felt like a painted doll.<br><strong>Extra-curricular activities:</strong> She wants to learn how to fly but the idea scares her.<br><br><hr><br>Darcy was sorted into Hufflepuff much to her own dismay, any other house would be better than that. On the plus side, she did meet a nice guy on the train and a cute guy at the sorting.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Pictures</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.imgur.com/MzqwYH3.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/mARNmyl.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/3NZesZ7.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/ROLKl7F.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/vgmub6n.jpg)<br><br></div></div>

Grew up- Edinburgh, England.&nbsp; <br><strong>Personality: </strong><br><br><em><strong>*Honesty~</strong></em> Rosalyn has an issue with people being dishonest for any other reasons than like keeping a surprise party secret from the guest of honor or something like that. If you have to lie to the people close to you, maybe you shouldn't have done what you did or flapped your jaws to the wrong people about information privately disclosed to you.<br><br><em><strong>*Loyal and protective~</strong></em> If you are fortunate enough to get close to Rosalyn Lamoureux, you will find yourself with a friend that will always and forever have your back. In such harrowing times, her loved ones are so very important to her and Rosalyn wouldn't even so much as blink an eye at the notion of jumping into the fray to protect someone she holds dear before she's already up in there doing whatever she possibly can.<br><br><em><strong>*Sharp~</strong></em>&nbsp; Rosalyn is the type that is highly observant to things ranging from facial expression, things worded in an odd suspicious manner and/or perhaps objects being where they really shouldn't be. She's not really a suspicious type, but she does notice when something 'stinks in Denmark' as the saying goes.<br><br><em><strong>*Courageous~</strong></em>&nbsp; Rosalyn is not the sort that goes out looking for reasons to 'look' brave, but she does recognize when an opportunity to be brave is placed in front of her and won't hesitate. What does it really mean to be brave? As the muggle Franklin D. Roosevelt said, Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear. Sometimes, you have to step out of your comfort zone to fight for something precious and important... you cannot truly LIVE while trapped in a cage of fear and uncertainty.<br><br><em><strong>*Compassionate~</strong></em> The world is not black and white, there are so many colors and shades, you can't just look at any one individual and judge them as you would anyone else. People are different, each and every one, this is something that Rosalyn strongly believes in and won't hesitate to reach out a caring hand to anyone that needs it. You never know what kind of impact you might have on any one person's life.<br><br><em><strong>*Romantic~</strong></em>&nbsp; Rosalyn is a hopeless romantic, she dreams of finding that one special love she'll swear herself to for all her days. Love is something special and worth protecting in her eyes, love is the one thing in this world that will always remain pure and beautiful.<br><br><em><strong>*Intelligent~</strong></em> Being from a highborn family, it always made very important that Rosalyn study hard and strive to be successful in the world. She is well versed in a good many topics. Language is a strong point for her, she has almost unnatural knack for languages. She is so far fluent in Greek, Japanese, Gaelic, Italian and French. She wants to learn Korean and Mandarin Chinese.<br><br><strong><em>*Quirky~</em></strong>&nbsp; Rosalyn can be described as going very much to the beat of her own drum, sometimes to the point that she might come off a little strange sometimes. <br><br><strong>Family: </strong><br><br>Comte Jean-Luc Lamoureux| Father | Classical music composer and French nobility | 45- Deceased {Brain cancer} | Pure-blood<br><br>Comtesse Oriana Lamoureux {Maiden name: Blankenship}| Mother | Former opera starlet and English nobility| 45 | Pure-blood <br><br>Comte Etienne Lamoureux | Paternal Grandfather | French violinist and nobility | 85 {Old age, natural death}- Deceased | Pure-blood <br><br>Comtesse Monique Lamoureux| Paternal Grandmother | French aristocrat | 75 - Deceased {Old age mixed with a yearning for Etienne}| Pure-blood <br><br>Lord Henry Blankenship | Maternal Grandfather | English lord and Department of International Magical Cooperation (in his father's footsteps)| 90- Deceased {Old age, natural death} | Pure-blood <br><br>Lord Benjiman Blankenship |Maternal Great Grandfather | English Lord and Department of International Magical Cooperation&nbsp; | 87 – Deceased {Old age, natural death} | Pure-blood&nbsp; <br><br>Lady Henrietta Blankenship | Maternal Great Grandmother | English aristocrat, stay at home wife and etiquette tutor for high born young ladies| 85- Deceased {Old age, natural death} | Pure-blood&nbsp; <br><br>Comte Gaston Lamoureux | Paternal Great Grandfather | French nobility and one of France's educational board members regarding foreign exchanging | 96- Deceased {Lived to be an old goat, natural death} | Pure-blood&nbsp; <br><br>Comtesse Madeline Lamoureux | Paternal Great Grandmother | French nobility, taught music and refinement to French high born young ladies | 83- Deceased {Old age, natural death} | Pure-blood&nbsp; <br><br><strong>History:</strong> Rosalyn was born in the June of 1999 to pure blood French Comte and music composer Jean-Luc Lamoureux and his wife, another aristocrat and a retired opera starlet with quite the accomplished and success career, the English beauty to steal the heart of the handsome redhead Frenchman was called Oriana Blankenship.<br>The Lamoureux family with their status of aristocratic pure blood and artistic re-known have always distanced themselves from the hardcore pure blood enthusiasts as it went against their views about the world and the uniqueness of every individual, falling in love with pure blood wizards and witches all this time was only sheer coincidence. Nothing more. Just the hand fate happened to deal.<br><br>Rosalyn was brought up to look at the world with wide open eyes and an open heart, she was loved and spoiled by her beloved parents as their only child... poor Oriana was informed trying again could be exceedingly dangerous for her and possibly fatal.<br>Life was good though for the family, Oriana taught her daughter to sing and read music, her father taught her to write it and to listen to world around her, for there was music everywhere.<br>Rosalyn's father was everything to her, he showed and taught her so much about the world and all the beautiful things there were to find in it if you were only brave enough to look deeper, he taught her to laugh and to persevere no matter what was thrown her way...<br><br>The family decided to take up a semi-temporary residence in England when Rosalyn was twelve, they were planning to spend a few years there to allow Rosalyn to spend more time with her maternal grandmother whom had become lonely since the death of her darling husband.<br><br>Unfortunately... tragedy struck when illness stole her father away from them when Rosalyn was 14... it was an advanced stage of brain cancer...<br>Rosalyn had only known her father was not doing too well in his older years, but she was never allowed to know just how bad it really was, her father apparently had been using potions and such things to delay the effects and mask majority of his symptoms... but many, Rosalyn included... noticed that less and less musical pieces baring the Lamoureux family crest at the top were being released...<br><br>Jean-Luc was just finding it too difficult to compose his music, his brain just wouldn't focus the way it used to on the notes, he was finding it harder and harder to see the music unfolding in his head before it goes onto parchment...<br>Eventually... he stopped writing altogether and it was then that Oriana knew it wouldn't be much longer, her beloved husband loved his music... family and music... the most treasured parts of his life, without his music... she knew his soul was not going to hold onto the will to survive for much longer... When Jean-Luc began forgetting the notes to his favorite pieces and forgetting ever writing others, then suddenly start playing the forgotten pieces not even an hour later... then stare at the piano keys as if he'd forgotten why he was there at all... Oriana knew... his will was going to give out very soon...<br><br>It was a cold early February morning when Rosalyn received the news, a letter summoning her home for a couple weeks, explaining her father had passed while she was away visiting her paternal grandmother in England... Rosalyn was devastated, her guilt for having not been there at her father's side was overwhelming...<br><br>Her mother then made a request from the Lamoureux family to allow herself and Rosalyn to remain in England for an extended time to allow her time to grieve over her husband in the arms of her loving mother and allow Rosalyn to attend school at Hogwarts. The request was mercifully granted, the Lamoureux family couldn't deny Oriana after the devastating loss she had suffered, she needed this and they understood that.<br><br>Oriana did promise them though that after Rosalyn had finished her schooling, she would return to France and take over officially as the head of the Lamoureux noble household.<br><br>The body of Jean-Luc Lamoureux was laid to rest in his beloved France, right beside his father within the Lamoureux family mausoleum, Rosalyn would never forget how terribly numb and angry she felt by the end of the funeral... why hadn't she been here? She should have been here holding his hand and making him feel as safe as he had always done for her.<br><br>However, her mother...&nbsp; nothing prepared her to see the agony her mother was in after losing her soul mate, she wasn't walking around this glowing ball of sunshine and joy, always humming a beautiful tune on her lips... her mother would barely speak at all, let alone sing, for a good couple of months afterwards...<br><br>Rosalyn knew her father wouldn't want his precious family to sink into despair, she knew how much he loved them and how badly he'd want for them to live their lives happy and full of bright shining life... as he always had been, his smile was one thing Rosalyn knew she'd never ever forget for the rest of her days.<br>It took some work, but Rosalyn managed to convince her mother the same thing, that for him... they needed to live again, they needed to laugh and be happy, they needed to allow themselves to have everything that Jean-Luc Lamoureux wanted for them. It was the only real way to honor him for the rest of their lives.<br><br>A vow... Rosalyn made a vow that she would uphold for her father's memory. He always adored and admired her love and gift for animals and magical creatures, he dreamed one day that she would have her very own magical animal/creature clinic where she could give her love to many, many more as she always did at home. She would continue to play the piano, his music would never cease to fill the air of her home.<br><br>Rosalyn vowed that she would see this dream become a reality. There was no try, only doing.<br><br>In most recent months of the present day, Rosalyn has found out her paternal family has set up an arranged marriage contract with a high standing pureblood family by the name of Warde. She apparently is contracted to marry one Zacharias Warde after completing school... she is not at all certain how to feel about this...<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Likes:</strong> Animals (cats most of all), daisies (highly underrated in her opinion), Star constellations (Cygnis is her favorite), reading (Mostly romance and epic adventure outside of academic reading), music (mostly classical, some rock mixed with opera soprano female singers, the muggle food Pizza, 50s era clothing and baking (cupcakes are her specialty). <br><br>Her favorite colors are shades of blue, pink, green (not baby poo green) and purple.

February 22nd, 1999, (18)<br><strong>Blood Status</strong>: Half-Blood<br><strong>House</strong>: Gryffindor<br><strong>Year</strong>: Second<br><strong>Wand</strong>: Sycamore, Thunderbird Feather, 10 inches<br><strong>Apparation liscense?</strong> No<br><strong>FaceClaim</strong>:&nbsp; Tom Holland<br><strong>Height/Weight</strong>:&nbsp; 5'10", 163lbs<br><strong>Hair Color</strong>: Brown<br><strong>Eyes</strong>: Brown<br><strong>Distinguishing Marks</strong>:&nbsp; Corey has a long, thin scar along the ribs on his left side from a childhood accident.<br><strong>Sexual Orentation</strong>:&nbsp; Heterosexual <br><strong>Home</strong>:&nbsp; Kingston upon Thames, London, UK<br><strong>Personality</strong>: <br>Adventurous - While he certain can come off shy and nervous, particularly when meeting new people or engaging girls for the first time, Corey has deep within him the heart of adventurer.&nbsp; No matter the quest, or adventure, he rarely says no.&nbsp; This is not to say that he responds to any dare with a resounding yes, he is far smarter than that, but even a risky venture with prospect of fun and adventure will always appeal to him.<br><br>Naive - for all that he is quite willing to jump into an adventure with a good friend, Corey is still not so very good at reading peoples intentions, and can be easily tricked or manipulated.&nbsp; He has gotten better, at least a little, as he has grown older, but he is still a little too trusting.<br><br>Irreverent - Corey, while he certainly doesn't MEAN to be disrespectful and to challenge authority, has a bit of a mouth on him that tends to get him into trouble.&nbsp; His mother likes to say he comes from a long line of men who speak first, think second, and the only one who ever got ahead was one who bit off his tongue as a child.<br><br>Witty - Corey is pretty quick minded, not Ravenclaw quick but close, and usually has a wise crack or two to make.&nbsp; Unfortunately, he is not the best at knowing when NOT to make a joke (see above).<br><br>Temper - it does not take too much to get Corey's blood up, and once there, it runs hot.&nbsp; &nbsp;Luckily, it tends to go away as fast as it flares.<br><br><strong>Family</strong>: <br>Father:&nbsp; Angus Dwyer<br>Age: 52<br>Blood Status: Muggle-born<br>Occupation: Bar Owner<br>Nationality: English<br><br><br>Mother: Sheila Dwyer<br>Age: 46<br>Blood Status: Muggle-born<br>Occupation: "Long Suffering" Bar Owners Wife<br>Nationality: Irish<br><br><strong>History</strong>: Corey is the son of Angus and Sheila Dwyer, two lovely people of English and Irish descent, who met and fell in love while attending Hogwarts.&nbsp; &nbsp;At least, that is their official story.&nbsp; Truth is they are international dealers in stolen antiquities, hunted relentlessly by the Ministry in a futile attempt to determine their real identit...<br><br><strong>*thwap*</strong><br><br>Ow!&nbsp; Ma!<br><br>This is for your school, you write that thing right!<br><br>Alright, alright!<br><br>Corey grew up in Kingston upon Thames, a lovely little burb of London, where he could get into a bit of trouble in the city, but be on the tube and on his way home before that trouble caught up to him.&nbsp; &nbsp;Corey's parents met in their last year of Hogwarts, and have been madly in love every since, although you'd have to know them very well to see past the "mad" and get to the love.&nbsp; &nbsp;Corey is an only child, a surprising fact in an Irish family ("And not for lack of trying!"&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "Ew, gross Dad!" and as such, has been somehow both spoiled rotten and not allowed to get away with much, and.....not for lack of trying.&nbsp; Both born to Muggle families, Corey parents were quite watchful for any little magical traits he possessed, secretly quite pleased and relieved when at age 6 he repaired a mug he had broken in hopes his parents wouldn't see it.&nbsp; &nbsp;They still tanned his hide a bit of course, but they were secretly relieved.&nbsp; &nbsp;Since arriving at Hogwarts, Corey spent his first year in a rather interesting mixture of wide-eyed fascination, and getting into all kinds of trouble with different pranks and adventures.&nbsp; Now in his second year at Hogwarts, Corey is getting a bit more dedicated to his studies, lest his parents hear he has been slacking.&nbsp; Still, it is only a matter of time before he returns to form.<br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Girls, Butterbeer, Quidditch, the heat you get sitting right in front of a fire on a cold day, dogs, pizza<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Bullies, stuck up people (especially girls), hot weather, grapefruits <br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: Managed to fill the Prefect's bathroom with shaving-type cream.&nbsp; And managed to get caught.&nbsp; And managed to get a month of detention.<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Taking to flying like he was a bird.&nbsp; Actually, they kind of suck in the beginning.&nbsp; A cloud? No, too slow.&nbsp; Er, like a kite then.&nbsp; <br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Nearly any time he had been called on in class<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Not having a single date since arriving at Hogwarts<br><strong>Extra curricular subjects</strong>: Quidditch<br><strong>Marks</strong>:<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br>Passing Grades<br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br>Failing Grades<br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br>T - Troll</div></div> <br><br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - O<br><em>Herbology</em> - P<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic<em> - P<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><br></em></em>

Hikari gave it legitimate thought... but ultimately, Europe was his home and he had no desire to go off to a country he only knew for two weeks out of each summer every year. So, it was off to Hogwarts Hikaru would go.<br><br><br>The Summer before Hikaru turned sixteen, he got involved with what would be best referred to as underground broom racing... none of the older racers really cared too much about the excited young buck participating... at least until Hikaru started to win, then won again and again... until he started bumping down the fastest of their regular racers...<br>These certain idividuals that happened to like the reputation and glory afforded to them by their peers so long as they maintained this place of honor and respect... they didn't respond too well at being upstaged by a barely sixteen year old 'kid'... youthful, handsome and charismatic... he was stealing much more than just the glory of the win...<br><br>It helped Hikaru's case even less when he would follow up his wins with witty sarcastic remarks that left the recipients of his remarks scratching their heads with no idea how to follow up in a way that wouldn't come off as lame and/or pathetic in comparison...<br><br>A tip off to wizard authorities had Hikaru stopped on his way to one of these races... lucky for him though, the individual that caught the tip before it ventured too far and got the young man into too much trouble, happened to have been a good friend of his father's.<br>However, Hikaru wasn't all too sure whether he'd rather be at the mercy of the wizarding authorities... or his father... in the end, Hikaru took over the duties of their housekeeper for a week as punishment.<br><br>When his letters arrived for school, Hikaru's parents decided this was Hikaru's chance to prove he was ready to take his life seriously and focus on a stellar education and less on his wild pastimes of racing and girls...<br><br>They allowed him to choose... Mahoutokoro or Hogwarts...<br><br>Hikaru gave the two choices legitimate thought, but when it really boiled down the important points... Europe was his home, he only spent two weeks out of each Summer in Japan to visit his uncle, but that was it... he cared about his heritage and all... but he knew what his heart really wanted...<br><br>So... it was off to Hogwarts that Hikaru Matsukoto was bound...<br><br><br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Japanese calligraphy, Singing, flirting with pretty girls, coming out on top (in more ways than one ~.^), well prepared and artfully done sushi, experimenting with temporary dyes in his hair, watching weaker individuals squirm, having girls tell him he's pretty, J-Rock, broom racing and high end fashion.<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: goody two shoes types, weak willed individuals, orange juice, not getting his way, Overly large or itty bitty titties, people too chicken to get their hands dirty, ugly clothes, Asians good at math jokes (even though he is) and prudish girls.<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Winning the broom race from London to Bath with new record time.<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Getting busted after winning broom race and having to explain to his dad the whole underground racing thing and how long he'd been doing that and lying about where he was at those times... it was a REALLY Awkward conversation...<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Not having a steady and loving relationship yet... not that he'll admit this out loud.<br><strong>Extracurricular activity:</strong> Wants to join the quidditch team for whichever house he gets placed in.

His mother always hoped to have many more children but after suffering from dozens of miscarriages, she could no longer bear the pain of loss. That, coupled with how taxing the childbirth of Finley had been, convinced her that she was just not meant to pop out countless children, like so many of the pureblood families Daniel grew up around. Of course, the Clark's were not like a typical pureblood family. Aside from having a small family, they also separate themselves from the common belief and strife over blood purity. Despite this belief, all of the Clark children married other purebloods. Until Daniel - who fell in love with a halfblood.&nbsp; <br><br>Due to their different attitudes about blood purity, and the fact that Daniel essentially 'tainted' the pureblood streak that had been running through his family up until his marriage, the Clark’s preferred to remain under the radar as much as possible. Of course, because Finley’s parents both work in different departments at the Ministry of Magic, that is not always possible. They have faced some judgment and animosity along the way, but the Clark’s are a resilient bunch and always bounce back fiercely. Finley is no different. While both of his parents were always pushing their respective careers onto him (Healer vs. Hit Wizard) Finley was always very adamant about carving out his own path, rather than following in either of his parents footsteps. <br><br>A tight-knit bunch, holidays are spent all together with Finley’s grandparents, at their estate. All of his younger cousins come over, as well as his aunt, and they make the most out of their time together. Finley was always a bit of a rambunctious and mischievous child, seemingly always looking for ways to get into trouble. As he’s matured, those habits haven’t completely disappeared, but age had helped to ground him a bit more. Still, he is always seeking truth and answers, finding school relatively easy because most subjects just come naturally to him. For whatever reason, he feels he needs to prove himself to his family, his peers, and his Professors at Hogwarts. <br><br>This being his first year, he’s determined to do just that, and figure out the path he intends on making for himself, along the way. <br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Dueling, Honesty, Winning, Family, Independence, Smoking, Rebelling from the norm<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Bland food, Dishonesty, Artihmancy, Being bogged down with too many rules<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Every time he wins <br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Every time he loses <br><strong>Biggest Regret</strong>: The chances he never took <br><strong>Extra-curricular activities:</strong> Dueling Club to start<br><br><hr><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Avatars</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/0e/FinleyRav1.png) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/ea/FinleyRav2.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/8/85/FinleyRav3.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/46/FinleyRav4.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/70/FinleyRav5.jpg)<br>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/1d/FinleyRav6.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/58/FinleyRav7.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/16/FinleyRav8.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f4/FinleyRav9.png) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/29/FinleyRav10.jpg)<br></div></div><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Active Scenes</div><div class="spoiler_body">Boyfriend Sleepover - 9/29/17 (Orion) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=285017.msg14225726#msg14225726)<br>(Bi)g News - 9/30/17 (Preston) (http://)<br></div></div><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Completed Scenes</div><div class="spoiler_body">Hogwarts Express - 9/1/17 (w/ Maria) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=284486.msg14044279#msg14044279)<br>House Sorting - 9/1/17 (w/ Silas) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=284749.msg14044647#msg14044647) <br>Quidditch Tryouts - 9/23/17 (Open) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=284486.msg14121345#msg14121345) - Paused<br>Black Lake Bonfire/Private - 9/29/17 (Orion) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=285018.msg14112231#msg14112231)<br></div></div>

He is willing to hang out with about anyone so long as they aren't, in his opinion, shit people. He spends most of his free time roaming the halls of hogwarts, smuggling in and out banned items, beer, pot, cigarettes, and light hearted prank items. He exercises his curiosity frequently and can often be found roaming the halls of Hogwarts, he avoids places that would make fellow students uncomfortable (for instance he isn't a peeping Tom) but can find himself in places like the forbidden section of the library and the forbidden forest, sometimes his wanderings lead him to areas he hasn't seen before. He understands that this behaviour will land him in trouble, he thinks it's worth it. However, he is prone to laziness in his studies when a subject doesn't interest him. This attitude is a point of frustration with his parents, Henry,&nbsp; and his teachers he does what he has to in order to pass most of the time but his grades reflect his current interest in the subject.<br><strong>Family</strong>: Aiden Smith- Father Mary Smith- Mother Samantha Smith- Sister James Smith- Brother Henry Jones- Family friend like an uncle to Jaxon he is a wizard himself and has a thriving herbology business that Jaxon works at one breaks.<br><strong>History</strong>: Jaxon grew up in a middle class neighborhood in Cardiff, none of his family had any sort of magical power, nor did any recent family have any sort of record to suggest they might have been he is truly a muggle born. As such he had no idea magic existed in his early years and spent most of his time going to school, watching T.V. and pranking people. He loved pranking so much that he would often get in trouble with the neighbors. One day he went out to prank with his friend Stan, and the neighbor became really agitated and chased the two of them getting hit by a car in the process killing Stan.<br><br>He became more mischievous after this as a way to cope with his emotional pull between trying to move on with his life and feeling at fault for the death of Stan. It was during this critical phase in his life that his magical powers unlocked, it was at the dinner table. Fortunately for the Smiths there was a family friend at the table Henry Jones, a wizard himself and was able to aid in the situation and explain it to the family. He also explained that as a wizard he makes his way with an herbology business and would be more than thrilled to help Jaxon find his footing in the wizarding world.<br><br>Henry then took Jaxon to his shoppe and showed him around Diagon Alley. He helped him get the necessary items for school and put him to work on his breaks so he could make some money. <br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Quidditch, he hasn't joined the team yet due to lack of discipline but he is really good at the game when he plays with friends also discovering something forbidden and pranks. <br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Bland food, boring teachers, boredom in general.<br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: The stoner kid, he is also very good at getting things in and out of the school, beer, pot, things you don't want confiscated, and banned items. These include things like pot, alcohol, cigarettes, and prank items that the school doesn't want in it's halls. He wont get you love potions however and takes a strong stance against them. The things he gets are usually fun and lighthearted. <br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Making that rich asshole look the fool, getting hired into Henry's company, making it through his first year.<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Coming in blitzed to class and getting called out. Breaking a table in the school when some meathead threw him into it, for calling him a meathead <br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Jaxon and his friend Stan were out and about because Jaxon wanted to prank people; Stan didn't want to but Jaxon convinced him. They were running from a neighbor and got hit by the car. Stan died, and in response Jaxon became more mischievous to cope. <br><strong>Extra curricular subjects</strong>: While not an official extra curricular subjects he is fond of discover. He actually learns a great deal throughout his times travelling through, he also knows the in's and out's of Hogwarts really well.<br><strong>Marks</strong>:<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body">Passing Grades<br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br>Failing Grades<br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br>T - Troll</div></div> <br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> -A<br><em>Herbology</em> - O<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> -A<br><em>History of Magic<em> -P<br><em>Potions</em> -A<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - A<br><em>Astronomy</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - A</em></em>

Depending on the family or the traditions, pure-blood had an air about them that demanded excellence. Nicoletta’s family came from a line of healers, prestigious in fact, while her father’s family line had hands dipped into the political. <br><br>After marriage, Geoffrey longed for a son to carry out his name, to continue on his work. He felt his wife’s womb would be the key to that, however, Nicoletta struggled to get pregnant. The issue seemed to put stress on their relationship. Blaming each other for her lack of fertility.&nbsp; However, for years and years they tried and a daughter came instead. <br><br>Even before her first cry of life, high expectations were placed upon her. Her childhood wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for someone of her status. She’d be groomed to inherit her mother’s will, a healer, and so her youth consisted of extra schooling, tour after tour. If she got anything short of high remarks her mother would shun her, force her to continue at it until she mastered it. Now, Scylla wasn’t anything short of intelligent but there was a hidden idea that her mother didn’t enjoy being around her daughter because of the strain that had placed upon her marriage. Though her father seemed to care for her, made sure she had what she needed, there was no level of emotional comfort she couldn’t relieve him of his emptiness, this belief that his name would die with him. <br><br>Before Nicoletta had her daughter; Scylla. Her father had an affair with a woman he worked with; a pure-blood named Arlette Clayton and their infidelity gave life to the son he always wanted. However, he stayed with Nicolletta until he found out the child she was carrying was a girl. Soon after he divorced Nicoletta to start his desired future with his new family and his son that would be 3 years older than Scylla.&nbsp; <br><br>In her grief, she looked at Scylla, and blamed her for all the misfortune in her life.&nbsp; Wishing if she had given Geoffrey a boy like he wanted they’d be happy together and she wouldn’t have been abandoned as she had. Scylla couldn’t understand why it was her fault and tried to reason with her mother but her mother banished her from her life placed her in the care of her grandmother - Sandra Montgomery. <br><br>Even though her life was peaceful with her grandmother, Scylla tried her best not to be a burden to her grandmother, keeping to herself while she resented her own birth. She never really formed any attachments with friends and when she did go out she was mainly on her own. With a book in her hand.&nbsp; Expectations were still high with her grandmother and did not desire to test her anger made sure her grades never suffered, made sure she didn’t want for anything that wasn’t necessary. Like her mother, her grandmother expected her to be a healer, and made sure she was taking the classes needed to pursue that path. Though she did attempt to try to win her mother’s favor by showing her good grades while she was younger; but her mother was just as cold as ever. <br><br>Her home-schooled grades kept her grandmother happy, school work coming easy to her. However, entering Hogwarts was probably the happiest moment she could remember really. The joy her grandmother had for her, after reading her acceptance letter, and the feast she prepared in her honor. That was probably the only time one would have ever seen Scylla smaller, though there was still a sense of emptiness, as she tried to tell her mother the good news but her letter was returned to her without a reply. Her father however, sent her letters offering her to come live with him, but she herself rejected them, not replying once and hadn’t talked to him since he left her mother. Nor the half brother Xual that she found out was her brother; probably out of sheer envy that turned into pure hatred.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Likes</strong>: Reading, Classical music, Sitting in the library, quiet places.

Growing up, he had it pretty easy, was spoiled by his mother while being pressured to take on the wishes of his father. To carry on the family name he was always told. He was the pride and joy of both parents. Not yet knowing that his mother favored him heavily because he was the reason that his mother’s lover had left his previous family to be with her.<br><br>Growing up Xual was a very diligent young man, always eager to follow in his father's footsteps. Which was a good thing, as his father had high aspirations for his son. He expected Xual to grow up and join the Ministry of Magic, and though Geoffrey&nbsp; was well established in his department he held greater aspirations still for his only son. As such he was tutored and groomed, taught as well as he could and naturally Geoffrey made hard to make friends with other prominent pure-blood families hoping to ensure his son had all the right connections he needed to be successful later in life. <br><br>All during his early childhood well into his teen years these expectations and events weren't a problem for Xual. He enjoyed the challenges that existed, and enjoyed further the praise he recieved from his parents when he succeeded. For a while in his life all Xual wanted was to make his parents proud. However despite Xual's strides, and the seemingly happy world he existed in there was always tension between his grandmother and his father. Xual had never understood why, his parents intending to keep him out of it, believing he should focus on his studies and development then worry about his grandmother.<br><br>Then when he turned eleven it all reached a head as his grandmother and father went back and forth in another argument. Xual and his mother had been welcomed over for Christmas but as was typically Geoffrey wasn't. Geoffrey still turned up and it was in the heat of the fight that it was revealed why his grandmother didn't trust Geoffrey and what Xual's father had done prior to his birth. <br><br>The truth of his origins was sickening to him, even though he should be grateful for his birth, and with that Xual lost a great deal of respect for his father. So much so that the golden obedient child he had been up to that point all but disappeared. Instead he indulged in his own desires, taking delight in the small rebellions his neglect of his studies and training. Enjoying his father's frustration with him. It was also during this time that he grew closer to the second son of the Balor family who was also looking to have fun.<br><br>Aaric was famed for his shenanigans and his laid back attitude, and Xual met him at the perfect time. Or worst depending on who's perspective of it was. The two became fast friends sneaking drinks at parties. Flirting with girls, and often escaping just to enjoy some time to themselves. It was only made worse as the two reached Hogwarts and had less supervision. Aaric seemed to know just how to get under the traditional expectations placed on him while still making sure he attended to his responsibilities and it was exactly the kind of action Xual wanted to take part in.<br><br>When he came of age rather than go to Ollivander's Xual received a heirloom item that had been kept by his grandfather. Xual's problems stemmed from his father, and since his new wand was his grandfather's Xual accepted the wand, feeling honored that his grandfather choose to pass the wand on to him as opposed to his father. Xual found that the wand felt natural with him, and never looked considered replacing it once he arrived at Hogwarts. <br><br>For the last four years at Hogwarts Xual has excelled in the classes he enjoys, and the rest of the time has been a bit more of a party for him. Having a good time at every opportunity and pissing off his father. He still hasn't decided if he wants to put to use all the training he got, or if he wants to forge his own path. He isn't in a hurry to find out either, he has four more years of school, and each of them he intends to enjoy to the fullest, while trying to develop a relationship with a sister that won't even respond to his letters.<br><br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Pleasure of all kinds. Relaxing, pretty girls who he can make smile, pretty eyes, sunrises/sunsets, running, flying, Divination, sweets, flirting, being outside.&nbsp; Temptation, good conversations, hanging out with Aaric, spending Aaric's money, parties. Getting dressed up. Looking after his little sister.<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: His Father. Expectations being placed upon him, bitter things, waking up late, Prudes, being lectured at. <br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: Slythern’s Chaser. Hanging out and getting trouble with Aaric<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Scoring twelve points for Slytherin during a Quidditch match<br>Helping Aaric steal his grandfather’s broomstick.<br>Winning his first duel.<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Being told that he was born out of an affair.<br>&nbsp;Knowing that his father had an affair with his mother and left his previous family. <br>Getting the quaffle taken and making not making the point because he was too busy laughing at Aaric getting knocked out by a bludger trying to flirt with a girl. <br>Getting caught with a maid by his grandmother and getting the maid fired. <br>Not having a single letter returned.<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Not having a relationship with his little sister. <br><strong>Extra curricular subjects</strong>: Quidditch - Chaser<br><strong>Marks</strong>: <br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body">Passing Grades<br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br>Failing Grades<br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br>T - Troll</div></div> <br><em>Charms</em> - A<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - A<br><em>Herbology</em> - A<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>History of Magic<em> - A<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Astronomy</em> - E<br><em>Divination</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - A<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - E<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - E<br><br>Link to tags (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=284490.msg14059365#msg14059365)</em></em>

				<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.

One ancestor was fortunate enough to get noticed by a reputable and public figure, and from there, fame was always just a hop, skip, and a jump away. As the generations carried on, the Price men continued to dwindle further away from the spotlight, settling for their old money and living somewhat normal lives.<br><br>Cecilia is the baby, and only daughter, to her parents. Her three older brothers made her father very happy with the continuity of their family name, and as expected, Cecilia overjoyed her mother simply because she finally had a daughter to dote on and primp. Being a pureblood family, the Price's valued a proper education, which was why they had decided to home school their children. <br><br>Being that they were notable figures in the community, it wasn't long before word spread about Mrs. Price and her homeschooling venture. Soon enough, she opened her doors to close friends and from there, a business flourished. Mr. Price helped with the business end of things while Mrs. Price handled teaching the children. They did so well and enjoyed owning their own business so much, that they decided to also open up a Bed and Breakfast for the upper floor of their manor. <br><br>Needless to say, between having three older brothers and a daycare facility as well as school at her home, Cecilia was hardly ever by herself. Which was exactly how she preferred it. Being raised as she was, Cecilia learned that her responsibility was to one day be married off and bless her parents with grandchildren. She was nurtured from a young age and taught the value of simple things; gardening, cooking, teaching and raising children. She was her mother's little helper, constantly at her side and looking for new ways to help, to learn how to be a wife and mother. <br><br>Little did she know, that day was coming sooner than she realized. The summer before she was accepted into Hogwarts, her parents notified her of a trip they would be taking, in order for her to get to know her betrothed, who would also be attending Hogwarts come September.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Likes</strong>: Fashion, Expensive things, Gifts, Gardening, Cooking, Boys with a nice smile <br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Being alone, Being ignored, Being told "no"<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Walking on catwalks and posing for magazines in the apparel from her grandparents shop - sized Petite, of course <br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Still throwing tantrums when she doesn't get her way, and the horrified looks on her parents faces whenever, if ever, they are in public <br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Getting caught fooling around with a customer who was staying upstairs for a B&amp;B trip with his parents <br><strong>Extra-curricular activities:</strong> Gardening Club, Cooking Club, and Fashion Club<br><br><hr><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Avatars</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/ae/Cece_Huff_1.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/91/Cece_Huff_2.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/c/cc/Cece_Huff_3.png) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/98/Cece_Huff_4.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/3c/Cece_Huff_5.jpg) <br>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/1a/Cece_Huff_6.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/bc/Cece_Huff_7.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e6/Cece_Huff_8.png) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/2b/Cece_Huff_9.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/75/Cece_Huff_10.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e2/Cece_Huff_11.jpg)<br></div></div><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Active scenes</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sporty Things (w/ Preston) - 9/23/17 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=284486.msg14129256#msg14129256)<br>Other Plans (w/ Preston) - 9/29/17 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=285017.msg14191845#msg14191845)<br></div></div><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Completed Scenes</div><div class="spoiler_body">Hogwarts Express (w/ Preston) - 9/1/17 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=284486.msg14079644#msg14079644)<br>Sorting Ceremony (w/ Preston) - 9/1/17 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=284749.msg14080979#msg14080979)<br></div></div>

Most days, s/he leans towards feminine. Also has a small tattoo of an apple on their left hip. There are also several scars on their scalp, but can only be see if s/he parts their hair for it or shaves their hair off.<br><strong>Sexual Orentation</strong>: Pansexual<br><strong>Home</strong>: London, England<br><strong>Personality</strong>: Flo answers to both male and female pronouns.<br><br>Flo is Confident. Their family raised them to be happy with who s/he was and what s/he looked like. S/he takes that to heart.<br>&nbsp;<br>Flo is Intelligent. S/he was very ill as an infant and s/he still thanks the Muggle doctors who saved their life. Till s/he found out their magical abilities, s/he wanted to be a Muggle doctor and the only books and such s/he ever asked for were medical textbooks. Even with their magical studies, s/he still studies their Muggle textbooks.<br><br>Flo believes in being Hygienic. Without hygiene, Flo believes s/he might fall ill again. It's irrational, but s/he can't seem to help it. S/he washes their hands at least ten times a day. Potions and Herbology classes are difficult for them. S/he knows that s/he can never be a Muggle doctor or any kind of wizarding physician if s/he doesn't overcome this.<br><br>Flo is very Kind. S/he believes in having a good bedside manner. S/he wants to work with people on a daily basis when s/he finally gets their career, so s/he feels that being kind of very important. Not only that, but s/he sees no reason to look at the world in a bad way when s/he almost never got to see it.<br><br>And Flo is Organized. Things being out of place irritate them. While s/he is not prone to outbursts, s/he will correct anything s/he believes is out of place. Even if whatever it is does not belong to them. Nothing bothers them more than to see someone's school trunk all disorganized and it takes an extreme amount of control to keep themself from going through it and cleaning it up.<br><br><strong>Family</strong>: Father: Tobias Polmear. Occupation: Literature professor.<br><br>Mother: Kathaleen Polmear. Occupation: Owner of a second hand bookstore.<br><br>Sister: Raine Polmear. Age: 2. Spends most of her time in the bookstore with her mother.<br><br>Family Pet: Saber. Cat. Orange coloring. Flo raised him since he was a kitten. Surprisingly obedient for a cat.<br><br><strong>History</strong>:&nbsp; Florian was assigned male at birth and maintains a biologically male body, with the exception of changes brought about from hormone therapy. Shortly after Florian's birth, s/he experienced a pediatric aneurysm. Even after surviving the initial aneurysm, more 'bubbles' were found in their brain. The Muggle doctors were forced to go in and place delicate clips at the base of the aneurysm where the bubbles arise from. The surgeries were successful, but s/he spent a good portion of their infant life in the hospital. Once the clips were removed, s/he was basically 'cured', but s/he still occasionally experiences 'cramping' in their head where they were placed. Much of it is psychological, but it can cause headaches.<br><br>As s/he got older, s/he spent a lot of time in the hospital that had saved them. S/he liked visiting the patients and talking with the nurses and doctors. Most of the staff were on a first name basis with them. S/he was fascinated by the medical work. Their family encouraged this by buying old medical books from local stores. Occasionally, the doctors and nurses would let them read through their books. By the time s/he was eight, s/he had read through and memorized much of the current Physicians' Desk Reference.<br><br>When it was found out that Flo was a wizard, their family was very happy for them. They felt that s/he had survived a great ordeal as a child and that this was what s/he'd survived to become. They were more than happy with the thought of having a magical doctor in the family and so was Flo<br><br>At the age of fourteen, s/he came out to their parents as pansexual and genderfluid. It was difficult for them at first, but after lots of talking and explaining the terms in detail, they were accepting. They have some trouble with it still, but they are still very happy for their child.<br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Medicine (learning about it), helping people, apples (an apple a day keeps the doctor away) and people watching.<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Being dirty and disorganized. Being surrounded by mess.<br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: Excellent makeup and hair skills. Being very clean. Incredible wardrobe. Very studious.<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Feeling accepted by their family for their wizarding abilities and their gender identity.<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Before starting their wizarding studies, s/he was in muggle schooling. Even at a young age, s/he felt very non-gendered much of the time and very feminine other times. Without talking to their parents about it first, s/he bought a dress to school and changed into it in the bathroom. The other kids teased them and even came up behind them and cut their hair.<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Not coming out sooner and having someone to talk to.<br><strong>Extra curricular subjects</strong>:<br><strong>Marks</strong>: <br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> - A<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>History of Magic<em> - O<br><em>Potions</em> - A<br><em>Astronomy</em> - E<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - E<br><br></em></em><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Avatars</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f9/Flo_Huff_1.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/dc/Flo_Huff_2.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/26/Flo_Huff_3.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/ac/Flo_Huff_4.jpg)<br>[/spoilers]</div></div>

They met and fell in love while studying the same field while attending Illvermony.<br><br>Hakan and Ahyoka Trahlyta made the move to England shortly after they made the decision to elope, after their parents and families were as unsupportive as anyone could possibly be, desperately pleading with each of them to divorce the other, meanwhile harassing each other's family in angry retaliation... why all the fighting?<br><br>Because Hakan was Cherokee and Ahyoka was Shawnee... the two tribes had ill relations with one another for well over two hundred years, so when two young people from these tribes swore their love for one another... shit hit the fan.<br><br>So, desperate to escape their warring families and find happiness for themselves, the pair made the decision to pack up everything important to them and high tail it across the ocean, far away where the ugliness their families insisted on clinging to couldn't reach them.<br><br>Five years later, Ahyoka gave birth to a daughter... in the middle of the country, in the middle of the night... in the car, at least two miles away from the friend's home they had just been visiting.<br>Hakan, terrified but determined to bring him wife and child safely through this ordeal, delivered a beautiful and healthy girl beneath a sky filled with sparkling diamond-like stars... and for this, Hakan insisted to name his daughter 'Shenandoah', which translates into 'Daughter of the Bright Stars'.<br>&nbsp;<br>From the time she was old enough to comprehend fashion and style, Shena had an instant fascination with the fashionable and trendy London she called home, she knew that more than anything, she wanted to one day become a well known and famous fashion designer. Some little girls had big dreams, Shena was no exception.<br><br>Homeschooled through her youth, her mother covering herbology, charms and potions, while her father had divination, transfiguration and defense against the dark arts, both parents did their best to cover history of magic as best they could... but while Shena liked to flip through the huge book for the interesting parts, she really didn't feel the inclination to really read the entire thing from cover to cover.<br><br>By the time Shena was fourteen years old, she had already designed and created a wardrobe of her own clothes... even had girls on the street asking where she got her outfits, Shena was very proud to tell them that she made them herself. She's made herself a small personal nest egg from doing commissions for her friends and daughters of her father's co-workers that liked her exquisite and appealing work.<br><br>Not long before her sixteenth birthday, two very special letters arrived for Shena... one from Illvermony and the other from Hogwarts... Shena felt torn only briefly, because when she really thought about it, she'd never even been to America before and she didn't much fancy being a vast ocean away from her parents. She wasn't quite ready for that.<br><br>Her first year at Hogwarts was easily what Shena would easily be able to call the most exciting, enlightening and nerve-wracking times of her life, wanting to spread her wings and soar... and yet, wanting to be cautious about it to avoid making a fool of herself. Something every young adult winds up experiencing at one point or another, regardless of how hard they try not to.<br><br>She did excel though in Herbology, much to her mother's delight over exchanged letters and she eagerly researched astronomy whenever she had downtime that wasn't spent with her housemates and other friends... the stars were something very special to Shena, they were constant and never changed, they were always there, always dependable to sparkle above every night, even when there were clouds, you knew they were still up there... and sometimes, they even helped you.<br><br>Now, it's onward to year two and this year... Shena is determined to place herself at least in the top three Ravenclaw students for best grades!<br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: new book smell, a man with a brain in his skull, fashion, chocolate anything, owls (her favorite animal), shades of blue and purple, complex puzzle solving, world cultures, herbs and plants, pink roses (light pink), clear starry nights, the stories revolving the constellations of the night sky and astrology.<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Jerks that think they don't have to treat others with kindness or respect or pricks with a superiority complex, whiny wilting violets (girls with no backbone), Neglect of ones education, two faced people, people that try too hard to act tough or indifferent (very annoying), people can drone on and on and just never shut up.<br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: The classy fashionista, Shena has quite the gift for classy fashion tailored to the specific flattering needs various body types, and is more than willing to lend her expertise to anyone that asks her.<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: To Shena, her greatest most proud moment was helping a shy and rather 'wallflower' 1st year update her style in a fashionable way that was more comfortable and flattering for her, she really come out of her shell. It made Shena feel very good to see that girl flourish and blossom with confidence and that she could have something to do with that.<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: She was really nervous around the time of her very first report card and didn't get perfect marks in her most passionate areas of study. It was very embarrassing for her and made her feel like she had not tried, this is a feeling Shena really does not like.<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> She wasn't top of her class in 1st year.

While most of their origin might be lost that hasn’t stopped this pure-blood family from sticking to the general roots they’ve inherited over those long generations. The most prominent of which being their general detest for muggles and muggle-born wizards and witches, and their disdain for polluting the bloodline. While the history of the Warde family has faded, their prominence has not. They still attempt to hold positions of power within the wizardly role, though with the latest generations that prominence has begun to fade, and the only real prominence they are known for is the stash of wizarding artifacts and relics stashed away in their personal repository.<br><br>The latest generation of the Warde family is considered to have the most potential and that couldn’t be truer of Adam. While the other members of the younger generation had proved to be a disappointment, Adam had yet to disappoint. If it weren’t for the circumstances of his blood, and birth, he would be considered an unequaled prodigy in the Warde family. If anything the circumstances of his birth have left him more open than the other members of his family, specifically that part of their gene that made Warde members egotistical and elitist. Adam was completely devoid of that unruly nepotism, and it’s only made him all the more powerful compared to the rest of the Warde siblings. While his disposition towards half-blood and muggles is different from that of other Warde’s, Adam still has that rather poisonous personality that keeps others at a distance. <br><br><strong>Likes</strong>:&nbsp; Winning, A competition, Reading, Curses, Charms, Trouble.<br><br><strong>Dislikes</strong>:&nbsp; Being bored, Annoying people, His family, People in general.<br><br><strong>Best Known For</strong>:&nbsp; Being the only half-blood Warde to attend Hogwarts in a century.<br><br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: The fact no other Warde heir has yet to surpass him.<br><br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>:&nbsp; His birth as a result of his parentage.<br><br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Not being a pure-blood.<br><br><strong>Extra curricular subjects</strong>: Dueling Club, Charms Club, Potions Club.<br><br><strong>Marks</strong>:<br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> - A<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>History of Magic<em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>Divination</em> - D<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> -E<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - E<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - E<br><em>Alchemy</em> - E</em></em>

				<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/GPOIha4.jpg)</div><strong>Name</strong>: Claire Skies<br><strong>Age/Birth date</strong>: 20 years old/August 27th, 1997<br><strong>Blood Status</strong>: Unknown to her (half-blood)<br><strong>House</strong>: Gryffindor<br><strong>Year</strong>: 4th<br><strong>Wand</strong>: Pear Wood, Dragon Heartstring, 10 1/3 inches with two twists<br><strong>Apparation liscense?</strong> N/A<br><strong>FaceClaim</strong>: Beirt Beirkland<br><strong>Height/Weight</strong>: 5'7"<br><strong>Hair Color</strong>: Blonde<br><strong>Eyes</strong>: Vibrant Blue<br><strong>Distinguishing Marks</strong>:&nbsp; Her eyes in particular are a very bright shade of blue and tend to be how people remember her by. <br><strong>Sexual Orentation</strong>: Straight<br><strong>Home</strong>: Helps take care of other orphans at her old orphange in Blackpool England<br><strong>Personality</strong>:<br>Claire always tries to put her best foot forward. With strangers, and in moments of calmness she can be very soft spoken, polite, and sweet. She is quick to help those who need it, tends not to judge people through reputation, and works hard to better hone her crafts. Claire believes there is a lot of prejudice and mistrust, too many individuals still bitter over the wars, and it is important to strive to act like a good person. To that end she does her best.<br><br>The truth of course just below the surface, is that Claire is a very passionate individual. Though she tries very hard to be well behaved when something gets under her skin she can't help but respond. Often being very sarcastic, and at her worst very nasty with her insults. Most especially if she feels disrespected, Once her emotions have calmed down and she's had time to reflect she will often apologize for anything unfair she has said, but she's truly not above having grudges. She is honest, but it also has a habit of causing her to be blunt. <br><br>At her core is a restlessness that drives her. She craves stimulation and is almost always doing something to occupy her mind. Be it jogging, walking, exploring, drawing, singing, crafting, or trying to learn new skills or spells Claire&nbsp; rarely is simply lounging and doing nothing. On occuasion trapped in a boring lecture, or a situation where she doesn't have anything to do, she has even been known to fall asleep. <br><strong>Family</strong>: <br>Mother- Unknown to Claire, according to a letter died at the hands of Death Eaters during the second dark wizard war.<br>Father- Unknown to Claire, according to a letter died at the hands of Death Eaters during the second dark wizard war.<br>Other Family- Unknown to Claire if there are any other Skies out there. <br><br><strong>History</strong>: <br>Claire Skies's name and her life are the only things her parents gave in her entire life. Who they were, where they came from, everything beyond the day she was left on the front door of a orphanage by the Ministry of Magic is a complete mystery to her. There exist no files of their names, and if she has other family none of them ever came to find her. For all she knew, she was the only individual with the last name of Skies in all the world. As she grew and learned to read she collected phone books and constantly tried to find any other last names, reaching out in whatever fashions she could to find a piece of her identity but she never did find a connection. From the moment Claire was born she was alone in the world.<br><br>The orphange had other kids, but she was always very lonely growing up. A girl that had strange things happening around her, most of the kids took to calling her a witch and disincluding her in games. As a result Claire had a lot of free time and nothing to do with it. One of her caretakers took pity on her, and started to teach her how to craft. Make little trinkets out of yarn, or paper, sculpt clay. Claire enjoyed using her hands, and became utterly enamoured in art altogether. Taking up drawing just a little while later, her room in her orphange was covered in pictures and little shelves to hold her creations. The first time anyone saw her smile was when her caretaker complimented a simple little snowflake she had made.<br><br>Because of her isolation at the orphanage Claire grew to be very independant. There were rumors that surrounded her at school, often nicknamed a witch even when she wasn't home. Claire detested being at the Orphanage more, and so she would find any club or any activity she could do to keep her from having to go back. She joined her school's football team, got involved in student council, stuck into various art clubs, she even spent a year of high school on the drama team, even though she wasn't great at it. She just needed to stay away. <br><br>On her sixteenth birthday she mysteriously recieved a note that gave her some idea of what had happened to her parents, and about the truth of the odd things that happened around her. According to the letter her parents had been casualties in a terrible and secret event called the dark wizard wars. Of course she ignored that, hurt that someone would make up such a ridiculous story. But a few months after that a stranger visited her at the orphanage and revealed to her that she had been accepted into Hogwarts, and revealed to her the truth that though the children had no true clue, all along she really was a witch. <br><br>With assistance for the Ministry of magic she would find a new world she could only dream of, and for the first time that she could remember, feeling less like an outsider and more at home. Before long she had made her way to Hogwarts. Where in the Orphanage she had felt like she was in a prison, at Hogwarts she felt she had found home. Spending much of her first two years in the library reading about the history of the magical world, and spells. She had lost seventeen years away from this world she clearly must belong too, and she intended to make up for all of it. <br><br>After her eighteenth birthday she had no home to go to on the holidays, so instead her orphanage gave her a room in return for helping take care of the younger orphans during the summer. It made waiting for the new school year unberable, everything about her old life felt so mundane, and often sh feared she might awaken from her dream and just be in a mental ward. But every time the summer ended she got back on a the train and returned to school. <br><br>Every year returning to Hogwarts just like the phone books she continues to read as much about history as she can. Hoping that in the records somewhere at Hogwarts she can find more about her parents and what happened. Knowing what happened simply wasn't enough. Claire desired to know where she came from and who she is.<br><strong>Likes</strong>: Drawing, Crafting, Reading,&nbsp; walking, cooking, talking, exploring, almost every magical artifact, DADA, Potions, Quidditch, Sweets, Thunderstoms, Swimming, getting caught in the rain, and singing.<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Being told she can't do something, bullies, the summer, people insisting on help she doens't need, womanizers, losing, pranks, people who just watch bullies, herbology, group projects, having nothing to do.<br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: Catching the Snitch that won Gryffindor the Quidditch Cup her second year<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: <br>Every O she's ever earned<br>Getting a picture published in her local newspaper<br>Catching the Snitch that won Gryffindor the Quidditch Cup<br>Being among the oldest students on the Gryffindor team before the scandal. <br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: <br>Falling asleep because of boredom in potions and burned off some of her hair.

				<div class="floatright">(http://i68.tinypic.com/eu278n.jpg)</div><strong>Name</strong>: Kimone Koh (Formally, the surname will precede the given name)<br><strong>Age/Birth date</strong>: Twenty; November 14, 1997<br><strong>Blood Status</strong>: Half-blood<br><strong>House</strong>: --------<br><strong>Year</strong>: 3rd<br><strong>Wand</strong>: Apple Wood - Dragon Heartstring - 10 3/4 in. - Unyielding flexibility<br><strong>Apparation liscense?</strong> N/A<br><strong>FaceClaim</strong>: Won Jong Jin<br><strong>Height/Weight</strong>: <strong>5'9"</strong>- 175.3 cm ; <strong>143 lbs</strong> - 64.8 kg<br><strong>Hair Color</strong>: Naturally Black<br><strong>Eyes</strong>: Doe Brown<br><strong>Distinguishing Marks</strong>: Colorless river dragon on left shoulder, some freckling on his chest, stomach, and right hip. Wears two blessed Bhuddist prayer beads (Mala) as earrings at all times.<br><strong>Sexual Orentation</strong>: Pansexual, <em>(could not possibly be more indifferent)</em><br><br><strong>Home</strong>: Portsmouth, England - Suwon, South Korea; (Several years in New Orleans, USA)<br><br><strong>Personality</strong>: <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Loyalty, Consistency, and Kindness.</strong></span> - Kimone, more affectionately known as Kim, has an exceptionally easygoing personality and is just as understanding as he is relaxed. He will go well out of his way to be considerate of others, and does not expect this in return, as his feelings are not easily hurt. Let it be known that Kim can make friends just about anywhere. Sadly enough, it is hard to take note of this abundant compassion at first because he tends to smirk, stare, and pause a great deal <del>far too often</del> during conversations; It tends to either unnerve or annoy people because it marks him as a facetious troll, which of course is not at all the case. These habits likely formed during his early childhood and early teens, as Kimone was forced to learn three new languages on the fly and so processes everything he sees and hears for later reference. It could be said that Kimone is a smart lad, but that would be an understatement.<br><br>Brilliant as he is, he's very curious and is both exceedingly friendly and socially awkward, and does pry when given the opportunity... beware the blunt inquiries, as there are VERY few things in this world that could ever hope to make him blush. He fails to 'read the room', so the saying goes, when it would be best to do so. Kimone means well, though, and is surprisingly silly, intellectual jargon be damned. His sense of humor can get a bit dark and can be on the perverse side when he sees an opening for such comedy, which usually surprises people because he does not otherwise convey any sexual interest and often comes across as fairly innocent. Rest assured, Kimone is just as corrupted as any other growing boy, <del>the sick bastard</del>, and does enjoy a good tease when he can find the right victim for it, be it platonic or romantic in nature. Kimone is one of those rare few who can deadpan anything and make it sound entirely true. He tends to go with the flow, and has found himself to be far less stressed and much happier for it. If asked, he will recommend the same perspective to others and follow up with positive advice and uplifting compliments as the motivational speaker of the century. <br><br>He is gentle with everyone and everything, as tact and diplomacy are easily some of his best qualities. He is opinionated when certain topics arise, though, and can be stubborn if asked to do or try something he knows he hates. <em>Good luck getting him to drink soda.</em><br><br><strong>Family</strong>: <br><strong>Ki-moon Koh (Father), 57. Half-blood.</strong> - <strong> Simone Kelley (Mother), 53. Muggle.</strong><br><br><strong>History</strong>: His father was a traveling photographer, having met his mother, Simone, a naval accountant, during his first stay in Portsmouth. The pair kept in touch by sending letters and photos and eventually could not stand the distance. They married, intending to stay in Portsmouth together for the rest of their days, but his father's wanderlust hit him hard just a few years after Kimone was born. He began to travel again, at first only for a few days at a time, then for weeks, then one month turned to two- His mother was not at all happy with this. The two divorced when he was just six, the same year his powers began to manifest. In short, his father was forced to make a sudden reappearance that same year to explain to his overwhelmed Muggle ex-wife that their son was not <em>possessed by demons</em>, but was in fact a <em>wizard</em>. His mother, bless her, dealt with the influx of magical terminology around the house pretty well after that, allowing her ex-husband to ease her into the secret world of magic and wizardry over time. <br>The pair then agreed to trade Kimone back and forth between a highrise in Suwon and a townhouse in Portsmouth every six months so they could each get enough quality time in with their son, though there was a bit of a race to learn Korean for the first year and a half of these exchanges. This went on until he was 12, where throughout the years his parents were still writing letters to one another as well as to and from Kimone. <br><br>They had remarried later that year, and thus, they all moved BACK to Portsmouth, but kept with the practice of sending Kimone elsewhere.<br><br>Instead of bi-annual trades between parents, it was then customary that, for four to six months out of the year, his parents would run off to exotic lands together and leave their son in the care of one of his mother's closest friends in New Orleans. Samariya Boudreau is a world renowned breeder of magical creatures, and while she is eccentric, she also plays a large role in Kimone's life. His time with her further mellowed him out, if not because of the language barrier, then certainly because of her happy, shoeless life in the bayou with her many beautiful beasts. It was there that he learned French and Creole (Cajun French) and figured out how to mix the two so as to better understand the locals, with New Orleans being his favorite place of all after getting used to Cajun life. It was also there that he discovered his love of animals and magical creatures, as he'd been disallowed pets altogether at his parents' houses growing up. His letter came in the fall, having only just returned home to Portsmouth to spend time with his parents.<br><br>Fast forward to his third year, and he is unsure of whether or not he wants to follow a career path similar to Samariya's or if he would like to pursue that of a magical historian. Kimone intends to mosey along until he picks a favorite, and is in no particular rush. <br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: ANIMALS/CREATURES. Mysteries. <em>Eating and cooking</em>, reading, riddles, the outdoors. Breezes, the Sun. Swimming. Chatting, hugs. Will only drink hot tea or water. Spicy things. Neat looking gloves.<br><br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Opiates. Alcohol, burdening or upsetting others, <em>animal cruelty</em>. Any beverage that is not hot tea or water.<br><br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: His calming aura. It is often said that time spent in his company eases stress and helps with sleeplessness. His voice is also nonsensically deep and carries a rolling purr, greatly contrasting his soft features and unimpressive stature. It is the subject of many jokes, one of the most common being, "<em>You [Kim] could get paid to read the phone book</em>."<br><br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Mastering the art of dexterity. His sleight of hand, card, and parlor tricks are unrivaled, namely because he learned to do them without magic first, and added the spells in afterward. He loves using these tricks to cheer people up.<br><br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Having once been madly in love with a gorgeous girl in his first year, to whom he gave some magnificent advice pertaining to how she might snag her own crush. It worked, and those two are still dating to this day. This was Kimone's first red flag. He fails to speak for his own emotions properly, and loses out to someone else every time. He has practically trademarked the friend-zone, dudes.<br><br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Kimone has never ACTUALLY dated anyone before. He has found that intimacy without a meaningful foundation does not hold his interest, and has resolved to pursue friendships instead of romantic exchanges these days. He's still a hopeless romantic, though, and will gladly bring flowers and home-made chocolate confections to any particularly special someones.<br><strong>Extra curricular subjects</strong>: Creature Care Student Aid, reading every book he sees, swimming. Baking/Home Ec.

Hygienic, germaphobic, and has a facade of indifference. Sociable when in the mood, and can be a chameleon with different groups. Thinks quickly on his feet, in an erratic stream of consciousness. Due to being mute, his primary mode of communication is written or gestured. If they knew sign language, he’d gladly use that as he is fluent in it. Mostly blends into the background but pops into view to assist, sometimes startling his targets. Those who know him well enough would look for him, half-expecting his eager-to-please spirit to appear, even disappointed if they see he was not there. <br><br>Family: Obscure.

Deceased Father, American Pureblood Wizard. A fugitive who fled to England, married, and took his English wife's last name. The pureblood lineage and legacy from America is buried and unknown. Killed in a drunken duel in Knockturn Alley a few years after Orion’s birth.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Griselda Reed.</strong> Mother, Muggle, 42, Banker. No-nonsense, hardened woman who shoots disapproving looks when quirks occur. Still loving and family-oriented for a conservative Muggle. Reminds her dutiful son Orion that once he graduates from Hogwarts and returns home, he is obliged to use his magic to better her life.&nbsp; <br><br>History: Orion was a strange and bright infant who once incessantly talked and sang until one day uttering nothing at all. He simply grew lost in books and people-watching. This worried his widowed mother who found no explanation or solution. Griselda quickly put him to work. Disciplined him to be busy and immaculate with cleaning the house, dishwashing, cooking, completing loads and cycles of laundry, and even helping her with accounting when she doggedly returned home. When he was teenage enough, she told him everything her late husband confessed about the wizardry world, even directions to Diagon Alley where he would sometimes visit alone and penniless, eavesdropping and familiarizing what he could.&nbsp; <br><br>Likes: Playing rugby, chess, or bridge, reading fiction and non-fiction especially about gay geniuses, gay rights, world wars, wizarding wars, curses, mythology, and wizardry history, learning Gringotts security methods and the ancient architectures such as those in Diagon Alley, Ministry of Magic, and Hogwarts itself. Also likes being valued and specifically requested, to be practical and of use to people, not just to authority or Mother. To elevate people is his motive. Likes it very much if people write or gesture back. Orion won’t consider a relationship serious until they know sign language.&nbsp; <br>Dislikes: Dishonesty, deceit, disrespect, discrimination, being dismissed and ignored. Can't stand underdogs and cinnamon rolls being bullied. Won't easily accept low marks on his assignments. Dislikes being the reason or cause of people’s suffering.&nbsp; <br><br>Moments of Glory: Orion outshone his Muggle peers in classes, isolating him to befriending one: the weirdest androgynous kid who hid their face with long hair. Having at least one friend who was patient enough to read his handwriting was an accomplishment. Attending to crucial details Mother and other adults had overlooked got him praise on some days. Surviving muggy Muggle London until the day the acceptance letter came had felt an accomplishment in itself. Convincing his mother to let him go to Hogwarts instead of a prestigious Muggle school, the only one of their arguments that she let him win. <br>Moments of Shame: Sometimes he gave his mother a hard time, pressing her for more information about his father’s side. She would burst to tears, tiredly lamenting how little she knew the man who made it hard to love. That proved to Orion she’d tell him if she could. He dropped it and grew disinterested in her thoughts. Orion later wrote a nasty letter "yelling" at his only Muggle friend who self-described and identified as a witch. It was a knee-jerk reaction that dissolved their friendship. <br>Biggest Regret: Orion later discovered that his chastise led his old friend to jump from a steeple, killing themself brutally in a public square where sparrows and crows scattered in a loud, chaotic storm. He sobbed so loudly and uncontrollably much unlike his normal self it frightened his mother; he told her everything. She could say nothing but gave him a look he never saw her wear before, a look of pity and understanding. Never again, he silently vowed.<br>Extra-curricular activities: Quidditch, Dueling Club<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Images</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://marriedwiki.com/uploads/bio/douglas-booth.jpg)(https://d3hp8xnxb3lun4.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/The-Rake-Douglas-Booth-00002x-1200x800.jpg)<br>(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DMDy9GvW0AAI3gM.jpg)(http://i.imgur.com/RyD2m.jpg)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mercury, his Father's Black Cat</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://wonderopolis.org/_img?img=/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/f_8.jpg&amp;transform=resizeCrop,720,450)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mellific's Badges</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e9/Orion_Rav_1.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e5/Orion_Rav_2.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f1/OrionRav5.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/fb/OrionRav4.png)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e8/OrionRav3.jpg)</div></div>

Cassie short for Cassiopeia, his little three-year-old niece. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Leda Savage</strong>, their mother, 45, who was like Hale and married into the Savage family. It took years for her to be accepted, just as it will take years for Hale as well. She mentors Hale and helps Vega raise and take care of deathly ill Cassie. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Victor Savage</strong>, their father and Leda’s husband, 43, the current don and head of the business. Whatever he says, the Savages obey, mostly to respect the wish of the oldest living member, Capella. Frequents the Savages vault at Gringotts.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Brook Savage</strong>, Lyre’s uncle and Victor’s brother, 48, once an Azkaban prisoner, accused and found guilty of being a Death Eater. Let out early on parole in exchange for snitching on others not yet found and punished. Easily irritable, he terrorizes the house elves when the Savages aren’t looking.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Sterling Savage</strong>, Lyre’s grandfather, 69, the original don. Now bound to a wheelchair, absent-minded, drooling. Does nothing but stare in the darkness, slowly rotting away. Despite the wand that was taken from him and locked away in various hiding places, he somehow regains it and utters a random spell, making him dangerous and unpredictable. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Capella Savage</strong>, Lyre’s great-grandmother, 110, who should have died or gone mad like her son Sterling by now but because she is alive, young-looking, sane, and crueller than ever, she is rumored and even suspected by her own descendants to have made at least one horcrux somewhere once upon a time, even though this is entirely unlikely! She sometimes disappears.<br><br>History: Raised in the idyllic environment of a Roman bath, life had been soft, sunny, and therapeutic. Unaware of the crimes and blood money his father and grandfather were profiting from, Lyre was a kind-hearted child towards house elves and many witches and wizards whose blood he didn’t think about until age 15. That was roughly the year his sister graduated and came home the same time his uncle was released from Azkaban. That was when the Savages decided it was time to corrupt and warp Lyre’s innocence. He matured quickly and accepted the true midnight he was born in. There was no fighting it. It occurred to him that his sister would be next in line to take over the family business. Lyre got his letter the same time Cassie his niece was born. Three years at Hogwarts among Slytherins, Lyre began to see how fearsome and hidden the Savages were in comparison, like crocodiles coasting the Nile. One Slytherin peer by the name of Frederick Turnbull, however, spat on the family name and refused to cower. Lyre panicked and asked Vega how he should handle this, but sister said not to worry. By the end of their second year, the student got expelled.<br><br>Likes: Lyre visits the former headmaster’s grave to clear his head. He likes to intimidate and prey on the weak while flirting with cute guys who stand up to him. He religiously partakes in singing baritone as one of the choir. Needing to prove that he is the best of the best, Lyre competes even with his own house in academics and athletics. Secretly has no problem with house elves or diluted blood.&nbsp; <br>Dislikes: Anyone smearing his family name or threatening to go after his family. His insomnia keeps him up at nights and exhausted during days, so he will get quite angry if his naps get disturbed or nothing goes his way. Lyre hates to fail or appear inferior, therefore detests the classes he has poor marks in. Secretly hates those who oppress house elves and diluted blood. <br>Best Known For: Lyre is known to strut the grounds, preoccupied with extra credit and making up for his failures. He’d sacrifice House points knowing he’d get them back. Also hush-hush, whispers of the Frederick Turnbull scandal.<br><br>Moments of Glory: Getting outstanding marks in Defense Against the Dark Arts and Charms just like his big sister made him another source of pride to the family. Father and Great-Grandmother sent him a bag of galleons, the finest robes, and the most current broomstick, making him the envy of his own Quidditch team. <br>Moments of Shame: Getting poor marks in dumb, useless classes still bothered the heck out of him. Showing others that he had weakness was intolerable. He cannot have them think they can knock him off his pedestal. To be honest, when Turnbull got expelled at the end of second year, it messed him up. When he went home, the Savages saw that and overworked him coercing him to help with their crimes until he felt hypocritical for holding a shred of moral values. He hardened, resigning to the inevitable conclusion that his pure blood was monstrous.<br>Biggest Regret: Regrets getting Frederick Turnbull expelled.<br>Extracurricular subjects: Quidditch, Dueling Club, Charms Club<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body">Charms - O<br>Transfiguration - E<br>Herbology - A<br>Defense Against the Dark Arts - O<br>History of Magic - E<br>Potions - E<br>Care of Magical Creatures - A<br>Astronomy - A<br>Divination - D<br>Ancient Runes - A<br>Arithmancy - D<br>Muggle Studies - P</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Images</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://78.media.tumblr.com/19501a83b2eed8ccc5eb55aa4564c7c6/tumblr_mjtjhxCuR51s7gq7fo1_250.gif)(https://78.media.tumblr.com/61642fd3598a71cf38628bd11e05aff6/tumblr_mjtjhxCuR51s7gq7fo2_250.gif)(https://78.media.tumblr.com/8c210a3515c3538516c9783b764c01e4/tumblr_mjtjhxCuR51s7gq7fo5_250.gif)<br>(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a7/7b/29/a77b29f4d1dd45cf224a4a95fccfe4a7.jpg)(https://data.whicdn.com/images/31380442/large.jpg)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Goliath, his Snowy Owl</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://whitewolfjourneys.com/wpnew/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Owl.jpg)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mellific's Badges</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/1f/Lyre_Sly_1.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/1c/Lyre_Sly_2.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e9/LyreSlyth5.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/0c/LyreSly4.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/78/LyreSly3.jpg)</div></div>

If she wants something, she will get it, no matter what. The only thing she believes in is herself and making her life better in the process, no matter the consequences to others. In her mind, life is about winning, and losers have no place in her life. How she wins is not important, not as much as the result. Someone might be intelligent and distinguished but if they amount to nothing, they are losers who wasted their life, and Ash was driven in not becoming just that. <br><strong>Family</strong>: <br>Chatchai Suttirat (60; Father) | Owner of Suttirat Group, a Thai wizarding conglomerate<br>Napakpapha Na Chiangmai (52; Mother) | Thai Ambassador to the Magical Community of Great Britain and Ireland<br>Kawee (26; Brother) | Potions researcher for Suttirat Group<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Extended family</div><div class="spoiler_body">Maternal side:<br>Sinitta (54, Aunt, Pureblood) | Thai Delegate to the International Confederation of Wizards<br>Tanit (Grandfather, Pureblood) | Deceased<br>Matika (76, Grandmother, Pureblood) | Retired, former politician<br>Jirayu (Great Grandfather, Pureblood) | Deceased<br>Rujjana (Great Grandmother, Pureblood) | Deceased<br><br>Paternal side:<br>Chantavit (81, Grandfather, Pureblood) | Honorary chairman and founder of Suttirat Group<br>Kesarin (Grandmother, Pureblood) | Deceased<br>Amphol (Great Grandfather, Pureblood) | Deceased<br>Nong (Great Grandmother, Pureblood) | Deceased<br></div></div><br><strong>History</strong>: Ash is the youngest child of Chatchai Suttirat, a rich Thai businessman operating globally, and Napakpapha Na Chiangmai, the current Thai Ambassador to the Magical Community of Great Britain and Ireland. She grew up in various countries, depending on her mother's ambassador duties, spending the longest time in New York City where she learned English. The Suttirat family recently moved to London following Napakpapha's nomination there. Her father and brother are rarely home, living most of the time in the family mansion in the outskirt of Bangkok, Thailand. As such, with her mother constantly out working and meeting important British Wizards to improve the relations between their communities, Ash spent most of her time alone with few if any friends. The few friends she ever had ended up trying to use her for her family's money and didn't actually care about her. She thus developed in her childhood a deep mistrust of others and learned to rely solely on herself. <br><br>She started Quidditch as a way to spend time, and learned she was a natural at flying. Upon entering Hogwarts, she initially refused to do the normal try-outs for her house's team, stating she didn't do "try-outs". Realizing she couldn't play in the team unless she complied with participating in the try-outs, she overlooked the exercise entirely and showed off her skills enough for her to be accepted in the team. She can play as a chaser or a beater, but prefers chaser as she feels she is more in control that way. <br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Winning, Quidditch, getting what she wants, dark arts, breaking rules, putting people in their place<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Losing, weaklings, fools and pedantic people, following rules<br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: Quidditch, really good at charms, being rich and using the word "No-Maj" instead of Muggle<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Making the Quidditch team in her first year; Knowing something her mother did not, making her mother embarrassed<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: When her mother ignored her and deemed her opinions worthless<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Ash has no regret (or so she claims)<br><strong>Extra curricular subjects</strong>: Quidditch<br><strong>Animal:</strong><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Male black cat named Carbon</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://wonderopolis.org/_img?img=/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/f_8.jpg)</div></div><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Images</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.imgur.com/n3dAznK.gif)(https://i.imgur.com/mlqCtRL.gif)(https://i.imgur.com/5q9WiGI.gif)(https://i.imgur.com/cDZgIQZ.jpg)</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Avatars</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.imgur.com/NqzIUtY.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/p4vDZDa.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/L5HrtwG.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/HcT5UHY.jpg)</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Connections (thoughts)</div><div class="spoiler_body">Aaric Balor: <br>Adam Warde: <br>Addy Ogden:<br>Cecilia Valentine Price: <br>Charlie Newmaker: <br>Claire Skies: <br>Corey James Dwyer: <br>Dante Fairchild: <br>Darcy Fredricksen: <br>Finley Clark: <br>Finn Balor: <br>Florian Polmear: <br>Grace Lynn Carter: <br>Hikaru Matsukoto: 1st year Slytherin in the same classes<br>Iain McGregor: <br>Jaywant Chaudhari: Seems like a dumbass Gryffindor guy<br>Jaxon Smith: <br>Ki-moon Koh: <br>Loveday Marley: <br>Lyre Savage: <br>Moray Morrigan: <br>Nathaniel Warde: <br>Orion Reed: <br>Preston Chadwick III: <br>Rosalyn Lamoureux: <br>Scylla Cromwell: <br>Shena Trahlyta: <br>Silas Cork: <br>Topher Dubois: <br>Valerie Beaumont: 1st year Slytherin in the same classes<br>Valeriya Sokolov: <br>Xerxes Taylor: 1st year Slytherin in the same classes<br>Xual Cromwell: <br>Zacharias Warde: <br></div></div>

He has a warm, joking and friendly personality and will always smile even in situations where he maybe shouldn't. He wants the best for his friends and will always have their back, even if that puts him in a dangerous situation. He tends to act before thinking and is a very intuitive person, who rarely hesitates when making decisions. While this boldness might be positive at times, it can lead him into misunderstandings. <br><strong>Family</strong>: <br>Sandeep Chaudhari (47; Father) | Healer at St. Mungos<br>Shruti Anand (46; Mother) | Muggle, works for the BBC<br>Gita (15; Sister)<br>Ravi (13; Brother)<br><strong>History</strong>: The eldest child of Sandeep Chaudhari, a Wizard, and Shruti Anand, a Muggle, Jay grew up in the borough of Brent in London and spent all his life in the UK despite most of his family living in India. From a strict but caring household, Jay and his siblings learned early on that family was the most important thing in life. As a result, and upon reaching his teenage years and going to Hogwarts, Jay's parents have become increasingly impatient at Jay finding a "good girl" to eventually marry. Jay had been to countless of his numerous cousins' weddings both in Britain and abroad in India and North America. His aunts and uncles reminded him as well of his "duty", even offering to set him up with whoever's daughter. Jay smiled when that happened, joking he had found someone and describing someone that his family definitely wouldn't like. <br><br>Jay didn't care about his "duty", all he wanted was to have fun and enjoy himself while he was still young. There was no point in rushing anything. He often felt the need to escape from his family, and always enjoyed his time at Hogwarts away from his parents. He loves them, and feels bad thinking he enjoys not being with them, but he still had to figure out what he wanted to do with his life, and he didn't want to be pressurized constantly by his family to be something he didn't want to be. Long walks, train rides, hikes and Quidditch had become forms of escapes when he could simply enjoy being alive. <br><br>Now entering his 4th year at Hogwarts, Jay knows he won't be able to run away from his family all the time and is now trying to figure out if getting a long-term girlfriend is the path to take. <br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: Nature, hiking, the outdoor, herbology, swimming, cooking, eating, sleeping, Quidditch<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Being bored, waking up early for classes, arithmancy, history of magic, uptight and know-it-all people<br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: Being an utter failure in arithmancy; being either asleep or super active and enthusiastic doing something<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Getting O's in herbology and potions; passing the rest of his classes; making the Quidditch team<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Getting a D in Arithmancy<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Taking Arithmancy<br><strong>Extra curricular subjects</strong>: Quidditch, Cooking Club<br><strong>Animal:</strong><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Toad named Todd</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://ddydc3qiky-flywheel.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/980x-1.jpg)</div></div><br><strong>Marks</strong>: <br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body">Passing Grades<br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br>Failing Grades<br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br>T - Troll</div></div> <br><em>Charms</em> - A<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - A<br><em>Herbology</em> - O<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic<em> - A<br><em>Potions</em> - O<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - A<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - D<br><br></em></em><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Images</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://78.media.tumblr.com/4bea7ae9e8fcf20c3ec2a3f89b0e68b7/tumblr_om69fkuQCk1qkqhuxo1_400.gif)(http://eclecticmomsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/100FootJourney53cea5caab812.jpg)(https://78.media.tumblr.com/5b79fea0d1a83eaa06f9b66766521a14/tumblr_om69fkuQCk1qkqhuxo9_400.gif)(https://78.media.tumblr.com/c799364d56169b048c810cc1149000ac/tumblr_oq0ziwrp2T1qlyolpo5_400.gif)</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Avatars</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.imgur.com/2ADyomr.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/7yfnvN7.jpg)</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Connections (thoughts)</div><div class="spoiler_body">Aaric Balor: <br>Adam Warde: <br>Addy Ogden: <br>Ashley Suttirat: Some rich uptight Slytherin 1st year<br>Cecilia Valentine Price: <br>Charlie Newmaker: <br>Claire Skies: 4th year Gryffindor in the same classes<br>Corey James Dwyer: <br>Dante Fairchild: <br>Darcy Fredricksen: <br>Finley Clark: <br>Finn Balor: <br>Florian Polmear: <br>Grace Lynn Carter: <br>Hikaru Matsukoto: <br>Iain McGregor: <br>Jaxon Smith: 4th year Gryddinfor in the same classes<br>Ki-moon Koh: <br>Loveday Marley: <br>Lyre Savage: Obnoxious Slytherin lad<br>Moray Morrigan: <br>Nathaniel Warde: <br>Orion Reed: <br>Preston Chadwick III: <br>Rosalyn Lamoureux: <br>Scylla Cromwell: <br>Shena Trahlyta: Friend that's always stargazing, cool lass<br>Silas Cork: <br>Topher Dubois: <br>Valerie Beaumont: Witch with a death wish<br>Valeriya Sokolov: <br>Xerxes Taylor: <br>Xual Cromwell: <br>Zacharias Warde: <br></div></div>

A burn on his arm from helping mom in the kitchen. Whoops!<br><strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>: Homosexual<br><strong>Home</strong>: Clacton-on-sea, Essex, England<br><br><strong>Personality</strong>:<br>✦ Hardworking: He had never been one for top grades or aiming for a great position in the Ministry. If he went for anything it would be a service job for the betterment of the community. Physical work keeps you fit, and it's gratifying. Nothing but bonuses there.<br>✦ Friendly: He's a generally nice guy, and not judgmental at all. He doesn't care what ethnicity, or blood type, or crazy fetishes you're into, all he cares about is getting along and having fun.<br>✦ Athletic: His learning type is completely biased towards kinesthetic, and he is perfectly okay with that. His grades suffer greatly for it, though.<br>✦ Forgiving: He's never been able to hold grudges. It takes too much effort when everyone could just be happy and get along.<br>✦ Humble: Thank you very much for the compliments! But really, I'm not that great. I'm a terrible student, and I don't think I can go professional in Quidditch even if I tried... though I would like to.<br>✦ Relaxed: Chill, mate. Need a beer? Good? Great!<br><br><strong>Family</strong>:<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Theresa Weaver (Mom, halfblood) - Mom was a nurse, before she got real sick. No one could figure out how to help her with magical medicine which you'd think would be pretty hard to come by. They're in the process of trying muggle means, but it's been really hard on the whole family, especially when they diagnosed it as cancer and gave her a chemo treatment. She's been wearing a wig ever since, but that's between us.</li><li>Elizabeth Griddlaugh (Grandma; Mom’s side, muggle (no magic.) - He only knew he as someone in government. She wasn't very high, or well known. She supported some higher ups.</li><li>Geoffrey Griddlaugh (Grandpa, Mom’s side, pureblood.) - He's been dead since the war, having fought alongside his friends at Hogwarts with the few others that came to the children's aide.</li><li>Demetrius Griddlaugh (Grandfather, Mom's side, pureblood.) - The fool that made a fortune and spent it all in one night only to fall to depression so hard at the loss that he took his own life. He is a reminder in the family that money is not everything. What is important is that you have people that you love.</li><li>Romero Weaver (Dad, halfblood) - A magical mechanic of sorts. He works on fixing what people have managed to disrupt to a nasty degree in transfiguration. Sometimes a simple spell cannot undo the mess they've made. He has a few consistent customers that he tries to drop hints to that maybe it would be in their best interests to find a new subject to dabble in.</li><li>Rubeus Weaver (Grandpa, Dad’s side, squib.) - He works for the newspapers writing articles on magical this and that. He's a bit of a recluse so they never see him.</li><li>Torella Weaver (Grandma, Dad’s side, muggle.) - A stay at home mother; or was when she had kids to dote on. Now she just spends her time cleaning, keeping things in order, and helping her husband in his work with ideas on articles.</li><li>Rowanda Weaver (Great grandmother, father's side, halfblood.) - The only notable great grandparent that Trent knows about. Supposedly she wrote a few of the text books, and some of her content appears in their textbooks in classes. He feels a bit of pride whenever he sees her quoted in his texts, but honestly he still can't remember this stuff worth a lick.</li></ul><br><strong>History</strong>: What is life without hard work? Trent never really understood the idea of being born into wealth and living like that. What was so bad about his house? What was so bad about working hard to keep yourself just at a comfort level, anyways? He liked it; he loved all of it, if fact. They say retirement is the number one killer, so why have a bad start? Of course, there's nothing wrong with being rich, but when you started looking down on him for it, then you will have a problem.<br><br>That's right, Trent grew up in a pretty provincial household. It was remarkable they could even afford his textbooks for his classes. They were doing their best with what they had. They both worked, but there was only so much you could do; still, it was home. He even got a part time job seeing as he had to wait so long to start classes; in fact, he parents even managed to get him into some muggle school do give him a general education and tutored him on magical topics when he got home in order to give him a head start.<br><br>He was going to shoot to be better than that, and help support his parents that had done so much for him, but he wasn't going to take the easy way out to do that. He was going to work hard, but smarts was not his main worry. His grades were not good enough for that, and the material just frittered out of his head- and he hadn’t even started Hogwarts yet! He wanted to be a protector; someone that saves lives. His plan is to become an auror, one way or another, and become proficient in not only defending his community, but standing up for what is right even if everyone else would not.<br><br><strong>Likes</strong>:<br>✦ Beer: He can't help himself, really. It's cheap, and delicious, and everywhere! Not to mention alcoholic.<br>✦ Gum: It's a habit, really. He has meant to stop chewing it, but every time he tries to quit, someone offers him a piece, and he just can't refuse.<br>✦ Bananas: They're addicting. He eats a lot of bananas; at least one a day, in fact!<br>✦ Music: He is actually in the choir, one of the few Tenors that can make sopranos jealous.<br>✦ Tea: He likes coffee, too, but tea always has a special place in his heart.<br>✦ His cat, [Sphynx] (https://i.imgur.com/JoDimio.jpg). Very cute and curious, and softer than you would think. His Sphynxy gets along well with other cats and tends to play with other animals. She has a tendency to cuddle up right into him at night to make up for the warmth she does not get due to her lack of fur.<br><br><strong>Dislikes</strong>:<br>✦ Fighting: He's pretty quick to break up any fights on the field.<br>✦ Sci Fi: Less of a dislike, and more of he just doesn't get it.<br>✦ Allergies: He loves it when spring comes around, but when that pollen gets mixed around, you can bet he will be sneezing up a storm.<br>✦ Art: He's terrible at it.<br>✦ Tests: He's a terrible test taker.<br><br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: He actually started flying at home a lot. It’s one of the few magical things you can get away with before you’re eighteen seeing as the ministry only really monitors wand work. He’s determined to get a place on the quidditch team! He’s pretty excellent with physical education even back in the muggle schools. He played a lot of lacrosse and dabbled in a few of the other sports like rugby and soccer! He’s got a few trophies on his shelf. They spelled his name wrong on one of them, but his dad fixed it with a spot of magic.<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: He feels shame that he can’t do more for his parents. He sees them struggling and going off to Hogwarts NOW just feels like it’s taking away reliable hands from home. It’ll mean one less mouth to feed for them for three quarters of the year, but he’d rather be getting a job and moving on with his life.<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> All of the muggle education gets you ready for college, but with Hogwarts now as it is he’d be getting out well later than was traditional to go to college. All his friends had been talking about what colleges they’d be going to, but… he looked. He was curious. Now he’s hundreds of miles away and wondering if he really belongs here anymore. Maybe it would be easier to just live as a muggle now. It didn’t seem that bad.<br><strong>Extra-curricular activities:</strong> Chorus

				<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/PnG8pHn.jpg)</div><strong>Name</strong>: Ainsley Jadyn Wash<br><strong>Age/Birth date</strong>: 23 Years old, December 12th, 1993<br><strong>Blood Status</strong>: Pureblood<br><strong>House</strong>: (Will be revealed upon acceptance)<br><strong>Year</strong>: 7th<br><strong>Wand</strong>: Yew, dragon heartstring, 11”, unyielding (heirloom from grandfather.)<br><strong>Apparation license?</strong> Yes<br><strong>FaceClaim</strong>: Laura Pergolizzi (LP)<br><strong>Height/Weight</strong>: 5’ 6”, 117 lbs<br><strong>Hair Color</strong>: Brown/Grey<br><strong>Eyes</strong>: Brown<br><strong>Distinguishing Marks</strong>:&nbsp; Tattoo of a ship across their chest. Now and again if seems like it catches a breeze as the sails and flags shift. A couple of other tattoos littering their arms. Both ears are pierced, but they only ever wear one earring.<br><strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>: Gynephilia<br><strong>Home</strong>: Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England<br><strong>Personality</strong>: <br>...Deceitful; when aren't they?<br>...Irascible; has punched people. Will mock people for less than a sneeze.<br>...Predatory; don't get on their bad side. And ladies? Ladies~<br>...Honest; for the most part. You will know when they do not like you.<br>...Polished; a dignified upbringing. It does not make them any nicer.<br>...Clever; typically can find pretty unusual workarounds for classwork, and to find new way to mess with people.<br><strong>Family</strong>: <br>Father: Julian Baldwin Wash<br>The most notable person currently alive in Ainsley’s family. He is recently retired from his work as court judge for the ministry. He had come into the position after the raid by death eaters into the ministry that left them crippled. He is incredibly well known for being social with many circles, mostly in the pureblood circles. During the war he, like many others, watched as things unfolded. However he knew better than to become involved and destroy your future for any vendetta even if you believed in some portions of it. Extremist behaviors were never rewarded and he is disgusted to ever hear someone attempt to loop his name in with He Who Must Not Be Named simply due to his views or blood. He is so neutral on some topics due to his previous position that people take liberties in disecting what he means from what he says in journalism often. You would have to be living under a rock not to at least know his name.<br>Grandfather (Father’s side): Fiacre Winoc Wash<br>Still alive, this man had given his son the silver spoon he fed him with at a young age, making his fortune off of smart investments from the already wealthy name they held. His choice in bride for his son helped as well.<br>Grandmother (Father’s side): Tatienne Napier Wash<br>From old money, she married Fiacre to stay in money with all of the comforts she understood.<br>Notable Great Grandfather: Lonnie Nicolaus Wash<br>He is the one that secured a number of houses in the pureblood circles that their family name is now bound to through marrying off his daughters, or otherwise making lifelong friends that surpassed the generations. Lonnie is a name that the older families have come to know with a great deal of warmth. He is also one of the few in the family that was sorted Hufflepuff in the line of snakes.<br>Notable Great Grandmother: Maryanne Vera Wash<br>A musician and singer in classical. Most notably she would perform at her husband’s parties for their guests, or otherwise performed on stage for large audiences. She is one of the few that would willingly take jobs in muggle shows as well for the love of the music, not for the love of the people. It was never something that was looked back on with any warm feelings. She divorced Lonnie when she fell in love with a muggle.<br>Mother: Adele Kamryn Wash<br>From old money. She is not very well know with the exception of the gossip about how she does absolutely nothing and is good for nothing, except perhaps lay back for her husband. She refuses to work and is a bit of a lush on the wines. Ainsley gets their honesty from her, but that is the honesty of a drunk.<br>Grandfather (Mother’s Side): Jacques Mansel Rosette<br>An artist, seeing as he had no need to get a real job. However that makes him no slouch. His art has been premiered at many studios for its lifelike capture of nature. However there is a bit of a lack of character, something that comes for a life of comfort.<br>Grandmother (Mother’s Side): Sharalyn Kristen Rosette<br>She was a death eater from the beginning, and never very quiet about her views. She is the one that people point to when throwing Ainsley’s entire family under suspicion. She is currently in Azkaban for colluding with He Who Must Not Be Named.<br>Notable Great Grandfather: Graham Werner Rosette<br>Known for his strong views against muggles and for having attempted to pass a few controversial laws during his time in the ministry.<br><br><strong>History</strong>: December 12th almost 23 years ago Ainsley was brought into this world, another child of a long line of old blood. The pureblood line branched like mad within her family, stuck strictly on whom it was they would marry for the sake of keeping the magic strong within their blood. That was what was the most important to them. Those who dirtied their blood were traitors, scorched off of the tree, a reminder to everyone else in the family of just what it meant to be truly of pureblood; you stuck to your convictions, and you stayed above those whom would tempt you away. Ainsley had no doubts of whom they would be inevitably be marrying; they grew up with enough pureblooded children to have inevitably seen the pattern of whom their parents wanted them to hang out with the most. It didn't bother them in the slightest; to them, marriage was a basic duty that all of them inevitably would come to do.<br><br>Other people had problems with that, but it was not their position to mock their family's traditions.They would go on about true love and other sappy crap, the sort of sappy talk that the traitors in Ainsley’s family would say, and the same thoughts that they spat in their faces about. No one told them what to believe but themself, and in this they believed strongly. Keeping their blood pure and superior when the pureblooded houses were slowly diminishing away was something that they found an honorable thing, and they were not about to mess with that for the sake of some nosy cunts.<br><br>That was how their school life became what it was. They didn't hold back words, and they refused to step down about their convictions. Fighting back ended up becoming rather important; Ainsley was the target for abuse first. Their first years in Hogwarts was nothing but people tearing them apart about their pureblooded status, their house, and their views, calling them brainwashed by their parents. Everyone hated them because of the Dark Lord that had passed, someone that -yes- her parents had agreed with to some extent, and many purebloods had. They taught themself how to fight back, and then they lashed back. Angry. That was a way to characterize their for a few years.<br><br>They took their anger out in Quidditch. They took their anger out in words. They took their anger out on physically bullying people. It was nice to feel their heel grinding them into the dirt now that they had the upper hand, and now no one messed with them. They tended to give them a wide berth, something that Ainsley was rather proud of. It didn't make them feel lonely. On the contrary, they felt powerful. Ainsley felt respected. They had friends anyways. Rather, Ainsley had cronies; people that liked to soak up in the confidence and power they radiated hoping they could be just like them one day by learning through watching them. They all had high aspirations, but some people just birthed it earlier than others. They would end up being the powerful resources Ainsley would nurture and abuse in the future for their own personal gain.<br><strong>Likes</strong>: <br>Winning: It’s such a rush to come out on top. Ainsley collects trophies, more to patch up a lot of insecurities that they have. You cannot be on the wrong path if you’re constantly winning, right?<br>Quidditch: It’s a good stress relief. They play beater, and you can bet they aim at other players.<br>Personal Time: It’s not meditation, but sometimes just being alone is nice. You might find them in the courtyard after having sat there in silence in the morning before classes.<br>Affection: It’s hard to call this a like, as it happens rarely. they tend to find this in the few women at school that find themselves tangled with them at night, but it’s not the same. Touch is something completely abandoned at their home, and they are too defensive to even let their friends hold them.<br><br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: <br>Muggles and Muggle Culture: It's a staunch belief within the pureblood circles that muggles are beneath them, being kept dumbed down and oblivious because they cannot handle the truth. Like children. They took all of those beliefs and holds them. It does not stop them from befriending half bloods.<br>Touching: Not for the actual touch, but because Ainsley is defensive to a very high degree. They trust very few people enough.<br>The med wing: they spent plenty of time their during their first few years at Hogwarts.<br>Blueberries, strawberries, and other similar fruits: Just not a fan. They are out of season more often than not and it can be a chance game of whether they are actually ripe or secretly sour.<br><br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: Being a bully. Ainsley found that the best defense is offense, which is why they put so much focus on the dueling club. They are one of the best duelers in the school, and have had a tendency to lashing out on other students if they crossed them wrong.<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Several times they came out on top in dueling club. Their savage casting has made them a fierce competitor and a number of students are anxious to go tow to tow with them now.<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: Looking back at any point, really. You cannot take actions back, and Ainsley knows where they are heading. As popular as they are they know it is just the power that people are intoxicated by, and less themself. They do not regret what they have done, but they do wish things could have ended differently.<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Losing their family. Not by blood; no. Ainsley had a childhood friend whom had rejected his supremacist family so harshly that, well, in the end they were an orphan and Ainsley’s family offered to take him in. They may as well have been family to each other. Willow was a year ahead of them and last year was hard on the two of them. Willow being ridiculously defensive of his fellow Ravenclaws and Ainsley having no care for house color when it comes to punishment finally created a rift between the two of them that could never be repaired. Willow never came home after graduating. Their ties severed completely at graduation and Ainsley never felt more alone.<br><strong>Extra curricular subjects</strong>:<br><strong>Marks</strong>: <br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> - A<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>History of Magic<em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - A<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - E<br><em>Alchemy</em>- A<br><br><em>Quidditch</em>- Slytherin Beater (currently benched for behavior.)<br><em>Dueling Club</em>- Member for three years now, and a fierce competitor.<br></em></em>

Loud noises troubled her greatly and she preferred being by herself or with her sister. When strange things began to happen when Vega was around, her father sent her to be assessed by a trained child psychologist. With the new age for Hogwarts having been shifted, it meant that no one was there to guide Vega and her magic seemed to pour out of her constantly. When things were not orderly, structured or in a routine that she liked, Vega became upset and as a result furniture began to move or the lights would flicker on and off. Her mother who was religious began to think they had a poltergeist.<br><br>When Vega was thirteen, her sister Tamara (16) went missing later becoming one of three girls that had been murdered by the muggle Darren Leadway. The sociopath admitted to doing it because he could but during the three weeks that Tamara was missing; Vega became distraught. Her magic almost exploded from her. The Ministry of Magic at that point sent a warden from the Magical Accidents and Catastrophes office and one from the Underage Misuse of Magic office to speak with her family and herself to explain what was happening. Having already been diagnosed with a mild form of Asperger’s since she was 5 years old, her parents thought that this was just too much to bear especially on top of Tamara being missing as well.<br><br>When her sister's body was found, Vega shut down. She stopped dressing in neat coordinated clothing that any respectable mother would have been proud of and instead over time began to dye her already black hair darker. She began wearing bizarre dark clothing which her parents said was a gothic or grunge phase. They genuinely didn't care how she dressed because the bizarre magical outburst moments had stopped. Vega was retreated in to herself, becoming almost a control freak. Her parents she knew were going through enough and all three would never get over the loss of Tamara.<br><br>By fifteen Vega was smoking, drinking and getting into fights about her borough. Her parents taught it best to have her get some self-defence lessons which she took and through it made a very small circle of acquaintances. She told them nothing of her life and never mentioned her last name, never wanting anyone to mention Darren Leadway or the Maidstone murders as it was now known as. She was taught at school by a special needs tutor and was exceptional in all her subjects. She knew however that come her seventeenth birthday, the magic people would return with the letter for the magic school they had mentioned. Until then she stayed under the radar missing her sister and wondering how her life could be so messed up.<br><br><strong>Likes</strong>: organization / routines / meals on time or not at all / water she could drink galleons of the stuff / smoking - her biggest crutch / muggle devices<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: hangovers / loud people / loud places / not being able to bring her ipad, iphone or laptop with her to Hogwarts / having to learn how to use a quill / Darren Leadway / anyone recognising her from the articles written about her sister's murder.<br><br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Taking a punch to the stomach in her defense classes and sucking it up, parrying the punch and remaining standing afterwards.<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: The notoriety that swamped her family after her sister's murder / knowing she is supposed to be some magic person and yet could not use it to save her sister<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> see above<br><strong>Extra-curricular activities:</strong> smoking / drinking / observing<br><br><br><br><div align="center">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/72/CailleachVega4.jpg) ...

Undercover as a muggle woman, a muggle man took to her quickly, though in the moment of their free love, they never shared more than bodily fluids which left Rose Moon a pregnant witch with a handsome son on the way. <br>- Mercy was born and raised for all 21 years of his life in Camden - that wasn’t spent at Hogwarts. Camden is known as the “edgier” more “hip” area of London famous for the alternative Camden Market which his mother works at to make ends meet. From a young age Mercy learned how to make his own clothes to help his mother sell garments to make money before she became a popular tattoo artist and piercer in the area. <br>- Mercy started to get tattoos at a young age from his mother and his nose pierced as soon as he could have it done. <br>- From a young age he was misunderstood as the young man who dressed in all black and was fascinated with the darker side of things. The cycle of life, death, and rebirth as well as astrology and the position of the stars. It was like this even when he went to Hogwarts and he has remained on the outskirts of being “popular” for his five years at the school, collecting some close friends along the way. <br>- Mercy has been out of the closet since before he began attending Hogwarts and it is a well-known fact that Mercy is gay and does quite enjoy himself a nice tidbit of muscled eye-candy. <br><strong>Likes</strong>: Food Prep | Astrology | Vegan Pizza | Wine | Jock Eye-Candy<br><strong>Dislikes</strong>: Potions | History | Aggressiveness | Physical Altercations | Liquor <br><strong>Best Known For</strong>: The guy who wears black with boots and a killer smokey eye<br><strong>Moments of Glory</strong>: Mercy adores the moment he mastered his own personal style<br><strong>Moments of Shame</strong>: That time he punched a pompous wizard in the nose<br><strong>Biggest Regret:</strong> Resenting his mother when he was young for not knowing his father<br><strong>Extra curricular subjects</strong>: N/A<br><strong>Marks</strong>: <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>History of Magic<em> - A<br><em>Potions</em> -&nbsp; A <br><em>Astronomy</em> - O<br><em>Divination</em> - E</em></em></div></div>
