They are powerful and best suited to an owner of high aims and ideals, as this wood mixes poorly with Dark magic.<br><br><strong>Ash:</strong> <br>The ash wand cleaves to its one true master and ought not to be passed on or gifted from the original owner, because it will lose power and skill. This tendency is extreme if the core is of unicorn.<br><br><strong>Aspen:</strong> <br>Wand-quality aspen wood is white and fine-grained, and highly prized by all wand-makers for its stylish resemblance to ivory and its usually outstanding charmwork.<br><br><strong>Beech:</strong><br>The true match for a beech wand will be, if young, wise beyond his or her years, and if full-grown, rich in understanding and experience. Beech wands perform very weakly for the narrow-minded and intolerant.<br><br><strong>Blackthorn:</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>Blackthorn, which is a very unusual wand wood, has the reputation, in my view well-merited, of being best suited to a warrior.<br><br><strong>Black Walnut:</strong><br>Less common than the standard walnut wand, that of black walnut seeks a master of good instincts and powerful insight. Black walnut is a very handsome wood, but not the easiest to master.<br><br><strong>Cedar:</strong><br>Whenever I meet one who carries a cedar wand, I find strength of character and unusual loyalty. My father, Gervaise Ollivander, used always to say, ‘you will never fool the cedar carrier,’ and I agree: the cedar wand finds its perfect home where there is perspicacity and perception.<br><br><strong>Cherry:</strong><br>This very rare wand wood creates a wand of strange power, most highly prized by the wizarding students of the school of Mahoutokoro in Japan, where those who own cherry wands have special prestige.<br><br><strong>Chestnut:</strong><br>This is a most curious, multi-faceted wood, which varies greatly in its character depending on the wand core, and takes a great deal of colour from the personality that possesses it.<br><br><strong>Cypress:</strong><br>Cypress wands are associated with nobility. The great medieval wandmaker, Geraint Ollivander, wrote that he was always honoured to match a cypress wand, for he knew he was meeting a witch or wizard who would die a heroic death.<br><br><strong>Dogwood:</strong><br>I have found that matching a dogwood wand with its ideal owner is always entertaining. Dogwood wands are quirky and mischievous; they have playful natures and insist upon partners who can provide them with scope for excitement and fun.<br><br><strong>Ebony:</strong><br>This jet-black wand wood has an impressive appearance and reputation, being highly suited to all manner of combative magic, and to Transfiguration.<br><br><strong>English oak:</strong><br>A wand for good times and bad, this is a friend as loyal as the wizard who deserves it. Wands of English oak demand partners of strength, courage and fidelity.<br><br><strong>Elder:</strong><br>The rarest wand wood of all, and reputed to be deeply unlucky, the elder wand is trickier to master than any other. It contains powerful magic, but scorns to remain with any owner who is not the superior of his or her company; it takes a remarkable wizard to keep the elder wand for any length of time.<br><br><strong>Elm:</strong><br>The unfounded belief that only pure-bloods can produce magic from elm wands was undoubtedly started by some elm wand owner seeking to prove his own blood credentials, for I have known perfect matches of elm wands who are Muggle-borns.<br><br><strong>Fir:</strong><br>My august grandfather, Gerbold Octavius Ollivander, always called wands of this wood ‘the survivor’s wand,’ because he had sold it to three wizards who subsequently passed through mortal peril unscathed.<br><br><strong>Hawthorn:</strong><br>The wandmaker Gregorovitch wrote that hawthorn ‘makes a strange, contradictory wand, as full of paradoxes as the tree that gave it birth, whose leaves and blossoms heal, and yet whose cut branches smell of death.’<br><br><strong>Hazel:</strong><br>A sensitive wand, hazel often reflects its owner’s emotional state, and works best for a master who understands and can manage their own feelings.<br><br><strong>Holly:</strong><br>Holly is one of the rarer kinds of wand woods; traditionally considered protective, it works most happily for those who may need help overcoming a tendency to anger and impetuosity.<br><br><strong>Hornbeam:</strong><br>Hornbeam selects for its life mate the talented witch or wizard with a single, pure passion, which some might call obsession (though I prefer the term ‘vision’), which will almost always be realised.<br><br><strong>Larch:</strong><br>Strong, durable and warm in colour, larch has long been valued as an attractive and powerful wand wood. Its reputation for instilling courage and confidence in the user has ensured that demand has always outstripped supply.<br><br><strong>Laurel:</strong><br>It is said that a laurel wand cannot perform a dishonourable act, although in the quest for glory (a not uncommon goal for those best suited to these wands), I have known laurel wands perform powerful and sometimes lethal magic.<br><br><strong>Maple:</strong><br>I have often found that those chosen by maple wands are by nature travellers and explorers; they are not stay-at-home wands, and prefer ambition in their witch or wizard, otherwise their magic grows heavy and lacklustre.<br><br><strong>Pear:</strong><br>This golden-toned wood produces wands of splendid magical powers, which give of their best in the hands of the warm-hearted, the generous and the wise. Possessors of pear wands are, in my experience, usually popular and well-respected.<br><br><strong>Pine:</strong><br>The straight-grained pine wand always chooses an independent, individual master who may be perceived as a loner, intriguing and perhaps mysterious. Pine wands enjoy being used creatively, and unlike some others, will adapt unprotestingly to new methods and spells.<br><br><strong>Poplar:</strong><br>"If you seek integrity, search first among the poplars". Here is a wand to rely upon, of consistency, strength and uniform power, always happiest when working with a witch or wizard of clear moral vision.<br><br><strong>Red Oak:</strong><br>You will often hear the ignorant say that red oak is an infallible sign of its owner’s hot temper. In fact, the true match for a red oak wand is possessed of unusually fast reactions, making it a perfect duelling wand.<br><br><strong>Redwood:</strong><br>Wand-quality redwood is in short supply, yet constant demand, due to its reputation for bringing good fortune to its owner.<br><br><strong>Rosewood:</strong><br>Rosewood wands are quite rare. They are not very compatible with Dark magic as this wood represents love and purity. Rosewood wands are known to excel in love spells and healing magic.<br><br><strong>Rowan:</strong><br>Rowan wood has always been much-favoured for wands, because it is reputed to be more protective than any other, and in my experience renders all manner of defensive charms especially strong and difficult to break.<br><br><strong>Silver lime:</strong><br>This unusual and highly attractive wand wood was greatly in vogue in the nineteenth century. Demand outstripped supply, and unscrupulous wandmakers dyed substandard woods in an effort to fool purchasers into believing that they had purchased silver lime.<br><br><strong>Spruce:</strong><br>Unskilled wandmakers call spruce a difficult wood, but in doing so they reveal their own ineptitude. It is quite true that it requires particular deftness to work with spruce, which produces wands that are ill-matched with cautious or nervous natures, and become positively dangerous in fumbling fingers.<br><br><strong>Sycamore:</strong><br>The sycamore makes a questing wand, eager for new experience and losing brilliance if engaged in mundane activities. It is a quirk of these handsome wands that they may combust if allowed to become ‘bored'.<br><br><strong>Vine:</strong><br>Vine wands are among the less common types, and I have been intrigued to notice that their owners are nearly always those witches or wizards who seek a greater purpose, who have a vision beyond the ordinary and who frequently astound those who think they know them best.<br><br><strong>Walnut:</strong><br>Highly intelligent witches and wizards ought to be offered a walnut wand for trial first, because in nine cases out of ten, the two will find in each other their ideal mate.<br><br><strong>Willow:</strong><br>Willow is an uncommon wand wood with healing power, and I have noted that the ideal owner for a willow wand often has some (usually unwarranted) insecurity, however well they may try and hide it.<br><br><strong>Yew:</strong><br>Yew wands are among the rarer kinds, and their ideal matches are likewise unusual, and occasionally notorious. The wand of yew is reputed to endow its possessor with the power of life and death.<br></div></div><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Wand Cores</div><div class="spoiler_body">Most wands made by Garrick Ollivander contain one of the three supreme core types, but there are others. <br>Among the substances used are (according to Garrick Ollivander's notes):<br><br><strong>Unicorn hair:</strong> <br>Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard. Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may 'die' and need replacing.<br><br><strong>Dragon heartstring:</strong><br>As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner. The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts , though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.<br><br><strong>Phoenix feather:</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike. Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.<br><br><strong>Veela hair:</strong> <br>The wandmaker Garrick Ollivander mentioned that he did not use Veela hair because it made for "temperamental" wands.<br><br><strong>Thestral tail hair:</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>This core type is regarded as an unstable, if not difficult substance to use in wand making.<br><br><strong>Troll whisker:</strong> <br>Troll whiskers is considered an inferior substance to Garrick Ollivander's three Supreme Cores.<br><br><strong>Kelpie hair:</strong> <br>Early in my career, as I watched my wandmaker father wrestling with substandard wand core materials such as kelpie hair...<br><br><strong>Thunderbird tail feather:</strong> <br>The tail feather of the Thunderbird was used as a wand core by the American wandmaker Shikoba Wolfe. Wolfe's wands were powerful but difficult to master, and were good for transfiguration work.<br><br><strong>Wampus cat hair:</strong> <br>The hair of the Wampus cat was used as a wand core by the American wandmaker Johannes Jonker. Jonker experimented with many other cores before settling on the hair of this creature as his preferred kind. The core was also used by Isolt Sayre and James Steward when they begun making their own wands in the 17th century.<br><br><strong>White River Monster spine:</strong> <br>This wand core was used by Thiago Quintana. Whit River Monster spines produce spells of force and elegance.<br><br><strong>Rougarou hair:</strong> <br>The hair of the rougarou was used as a wand core by the American wandmaker Violetta Beauvais. Rougarou hair was rumoured to have an affinity for Dark magic, like vampires to blood.<br><br><strong>Kneazle whiskers:</strong> <br>This is a rarely used wand core and is most likely considered a substandard core type.<br><br><strong>Horned Serpent horn:</strong> <br>This wand core was used by Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry founders Isolt Sayre. The wands made from this core were exceptional powerful. They were also sensitive to Parseltongue and warn its owner of danger by emitting a low musical tone.<br><br><strong>Snallygaster heartstring:</strong> <br>The core was used by Isolt Sayre and James Steward when they began making their own wands in the 17th century.<br><br><strong>Jackalope antler:</strong> <br>The core was used by Isolt Sayre and James Steward when they began making their own wands in the 17th century.<br><br><strong>Basilisk horn:</strong> <br>Only one wand is known to have used this core. It was made by Salazar Slytherin for a wand of his own making.<br></div></div><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Wand Length and Flexibility</div><div class="spoiler_body">Most wands are between 9 - 14 inches long. Shorter wands (8 inches or less) and longer wands (15 inches or greater) do exist, but are extremely rare. <br><br>Typically, a wand is fit to the witch or wizard who intends to use it, based on his or her physical frame. However, there are other factors to consider than simple measurements. Longer wands may be ideal for a taller individual, but tend to fit with big personalities and a caster who has a preference for more theatrical style magic. Abnormally short wands, however, may be drawn to a person who is somehow inadequate in one way or another, rather than linking to a caster because they are physically petite. Neater wands have a preference toward poised and polished casting. It is important to note that no one factor in the composition of a wand is what makes it distinguishable, by itself, to the witch or wizard who seeks to use it. <br><br>The flexibility or rigidity of a wand speaks to its compliance or aversion to changing masters entirely, or temporarily relinquishing possession. Although, as stated, this single factor should not be isolated from the other components of a wand, nor the owner's magical experience and specific style of magic. All of these traits make each wand one-of-a-kind. <br><br>Words that are used to describe the resilience of a wand include (but are not limited to): Unyielding, Flexible, Springy, Inflexible, Bendy, Supple, Pliable, Stiff.<br></div></div></div>

He is literally the middle child with three older siblings and three younger. He thinks his parents didn't believe in birth control. Their parents are fairly open minded people, but that's not always a good thing, as many of his siblings and himself realized. They were mistreated or neglected, but it was very much a "the siblings older than you helps take care of you" situation. Both his parents had stable, middle class jobs that took care of all their basic needs. When one of them was old enough to work, they were expected to if they wanted extra things for themselves. His parents weren't bad people though. Curt would describe them as immature, but well meaning. Actually, that's how everyone describes them.<br><br>They were good about being open and accepting with their children. When Christopher came out as gay, they were very happy for him and are happy that their family is going to be expanding soon as Christopher is recently engaged. They were very supportive when Callie decided to move to the States to attend college and stated she wanted to be a photographer. And they rallied for their son Colin when he was diagnosed with Leukemia to make sure he got all the proper medical treatments and care he needed. So when their family was contacted by the Ministry of Magic about Curt being a wizard, while confused, they were supportive.<br><br>Despite being a wizard, Curt also managed to surprise his parents at his admission that he wanted to do 'sideshow stunts', such as sword swallowing and fire eating. He realized that magic could make this very simple to do, yet he still wanted to do it the old fashion way. They were nervous about it and did try to dissuade him. It was a shock to him that they weren't immediately supportive like they were with his sibling's hobbies and career choices. Despite that, he still pursued it. He can't swallow a sword fully yet and he decided he wouldn't attempt more extreme acts (such as human pincushion and body suspension) until he could swallow a sword. He does, however, lay on a bed of nails and let people put weights on him without flinching. How he plans to make a career out of this or if he plans to keep it as a hobby, Curt hasn't decided yet.<br><br>He has enjoyed his magical schooling greatly. Curt is really keen on the idea of owning a place like the Leaky Cauldron. He always enjoys his visits to places like it. He also finds charm related careers interesting, such as metal charmers (https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Metal_charmer). When not at school or doing something wizarding related or stunt related, Curt works part time at a food store doing overnight stocking and cleaning.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li>Painting.</li><li>Getting tattoos.</li><li>Doing 'sideshow' stunts, though he leaves that stuff at home.</li><li>Curt loves to meet new people.</li><li>Curt is very good at selling himself to people (not a sexual thing).

However, they do not tolerate people purposefully calling them <em>girl</em> in patronizing ways to invalidate their gender identity. <br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> <br><br>Quinn is the daughter of Annabel Entwhistle, former Hufflepuff, and Edmund Ogden, No-Maj. Her mother moved to the United States and met her husband while working for MACUSA in their Chicago office. Mother working for the magical government and a father with just a small shop to manage, Quinn spent most of their time with their No-Maj father and his friends and their children. Despite knowing that they would eventually have to part from their No-Maj friends if they wanted to ever enhance their magical skills through proper schooling, Quinn spent a a great deal of time with them. They sank themself into No-Maj fashion, because they found it as a way express themself.<br><br>At ten, Quinn came out as non-binary to their parents. It was particularly difficult for their mother. She claimed that a person had to be one or the other and couldn't just 'switch' between the two. She took this news much harder than she did the idea of Quinn being something other than heterosexual. It became a "no talk" subject in their house. Quinn's father did his best to support them and help educate his wife. They made the decision to cut off all their hair and start dying it the No-Maj way, slightly to spite their overly magic dependent mother, but they ended up enjoying it.<br><br>Their magic first started really showing when Quinn made the decision to start going to their No-Maj school dressed as a boy and insisting on being referred to as a male to see if they liked the pronoun better. The kids at school made fun of them and it ended in a fight. A few windows blew out during the fight that her mother and the magical law enforcement department to have to deal with it. They berated Quinn's mother a bit about letting a young magic user go to a No-Maj school knowing things like this could happen. Since it did happen, Quinn's father had no choice but to agree to taken them out of school.<br><br>Quinn was originally set to go to Ilvermorny, but her mother was offered a position as Head Herboligist for the Ministry of Magic. It was a good career opportunity that neither her or her husband could ignore. Annabel missed her home and family a lot and her father didn't have any family nearby. The choice ended up being simple and the family moved to England when Quinn was thirteen.<br><br>Moving was very bitter sweet. It was a chance to start making new friends, but it also made them feel like they had to leave their No-Maj father and friends behind for good. Quinn knows that being friends with No-Majs is possible, but it's not easy. They knew how easy it was to get sucked into a magical life. They sometimes feel like their parent's relationship was only meant to be a fling for their mother. That if she hadn't got pregnant, she wouldn't have got married and moved on to a wizard.

Both her chest and rump are modest, almost boyish were it not for the femininity of her face. Her skin is often paler than most of her family but when exposed to sunlight she gets a nice tan. She has mid-length brown hair and honey brown eyes. Stylishly, she tends to wear casual European street wear with simple statement pieces. Her nails are always done, typically stilettos of varying lengths, but they have been enchanted with complex runework to warn her of life forms within 15, 10, 5, and 0 feet of her. <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Independent.</strong> She doesn't need you. She might not even want you, or at least that's what she'd like you to think. She's used to doing things on her own and has learned to only count on those who have been proven to be tried and true. </li><li><strong>Stubborn.</strong> She is not usually one to change her mind or bend to someone else's will. </li><li><strong>Introverted.</strong> Introversion is <em>not</em> synonymous with shyness, nor does it mean that she is necessarily quiet -- she just might not want to talk to <em>you.</em> It also doesn't mean that she hates people, she simply wants everything on her terms. Catlike, if you will. Give her the space and time that she requires.</li><li><strong>Cultured.</strong> She is familiar with classical music, ballet, art, philosophy, foreign languages, literature, films, etc.</li><li><strong>Observant.</strong> She is exceptionally shrewd and clever enough to carry on conversation while also revealing very little about herself. She lets on more than she mentions -- just because she didn't ask you why you missed class doesn't mean she didn't notice.</li><li><strong>Sarcastic.</strong> Life is short, hard, and no one asked for it. We may as well laugh.</li><li><strong>Opinionated.</strong> She might not shove them in your face face right away, but she's got a million of them and apologizes for 0.</li><li><strong>Contrary.</strong> Many of her opinions are considered radical and unpopular. Anyone who has seen her in a picket line or at a protest can attest to the validity of this.</li><li><strong>Pensive.</strong> She spend a good deal of time analyzing the world around her as well as her reactions to it. The more you know, the better you can control your environment rather than being shaped by it.</li><li><strong>Occasionally Unpleasant.</strong> What can she say, sometimes she's a bitchy witch.</li></ul><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Mathilda was born to Maximilian and Melusine Wolff, a No-Maj pair of first-generation Austrian-Americans. For years, they tried and failed to conceive children and after many miscarriages and crushed dreams, they gave up hope. Sadly, when Melusine became pregnant at 44, it was not without great complication. Thus, Mathilda is an only child and has been raised with the influence that most people her age would attribute to their grandparents. <br><br>Born to a pair of stern Austrian-Americans who refused to speak English in the home, Mathilda was raised with a certain elitism that most statesiders do not inherit. She received the finest No-Maj education as well as the finest magical education that North America could offer -- Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After graduating as valedictorian of the her class, she served as DADA TA for a year before gaining international appeal. The following year, she was offered the job of DADA TA at Durmstrang, which she took without question.<br><br>At Durmstrang, Mathilda was met with a fresh set of challenges, chiefly, the more physical education that she was expected to excel at as well. There was a learning curve as her body adapted to the more rigorous regimen but she soon found herself thriving and by the end of her first year, was offered the position of DADA Professor to teach the martial and aggressive students of Durmstrang. After two years in her position, she is informed of a promotion to Deputy Headmistress, and in the light of a renewed Triwizard Tournament, Mathilda has been selected to accompany the students so that she may act on behalf of Durmstrang while abroad. <br><br><strong>All of the students accompanying her are students that she has worked closely with in the past several years. She has been trusted to ensure Durmstrang's victory by hand-selecting the most impressive.</strong><br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Privacy | Honesty | Humor | Grit | Authenticity | Follow-Through | Earned Trust | Satanic Aesthetics | Meaningful Conversation | Challenges | Philosophy | Truth |&nbsp; Sarcasm | Art &amp; Culture<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Vulnerability | Letting People In | Followers | Disrespected Boundaries | Injustice | Gratuitous Flattery | Being Interrupted<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li> Melusine Wolff (https://i.pinimg.com/736x/aa/b9/30/aab93034896a313e0b027d8ebeec0288--jessica-lange-american-horror.jpg) | Mother | Classical Oboist | 66 | No-Maj</li><li>Maximilian Wolff (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/imageserver/image/methode%2Ftimes%2Fprod%2Fweb%2Fbin%2Fd5e96866-850c-11e8-ad58-ae35970199d3.jpg?crop=3657%2C2057%2C82%2C719&amp;resize=685) | Father | Clockmaker | 70 | No-Maj</li></ul><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - O<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - O<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - A<br><em>Astronomy</em> - E<br><em>Divination</em> - P<br><em>History of Magic</em> - A<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - P<br><em>No-Maj Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> O's in Charms, Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, No-Maj Studies.<br>E's in Herbology, Ancient Runes, and Astronomy.<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> Cobweb -- Silver Tomcat (https://i.imgur.com/qLEHYin.png)<br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Natalie Portman<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Luciferia's O/O's (https://elliquiy.com/forums/onsoffs.php?u=52593)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li>She speaks English, German, and Russian, and will teach in German or Russian depending on the demographic of her class.</li><li>Her nails are enchanted: she has runes etched into her manicure that warn her via varying colors that living creatures are with 15, 10, 5, and 0 feet of her.</li></ul>

His hair color is chestnut, but sometimes he's offered 'suggestions' from his sister on how he should style or color his hair. Sometimes he gives in, because he's not one for much confrontation. His easy going nature compliments the usually content look on his face. He forgets to shave here and there because he seems slightly distracted. Often he has a bit of rough stubble on his chin leftover. However, he can clean up very well when prompted. Usually he wears simple button-up shirts of darker colors. Never one for wearing anything too flashy. His hair always looks a bit messy, as if he flattened it after barely getting out of bed on time. Often times he can be found with his pet rat in the pocket of his button up shirt. One thing to note is that sometimes Derek can look a little untidy, he always smells good. Probably from a potion brew of everlasting cologne he made up himself. <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong><br><br>- Loyal | Derek may not cast a wide net of friends, but the friends that he does have he's very loyal to. He'll stand up for them, and maybe even pack at punch. This also goes for relationships. Derek is the kinda guy that you can trust isn't going to sleep with your best friend. <br><br>- Clever | At the end of the day, Derek shows a high amount of intelligence and quick wit to catch on easily. It's probably why he was picked in Ravenclaw rather than Huffelpuff. <br><br>- Curious | Derek has the desire to learn more about different things and different people. He's social enough to put himself out there to take on a new hobby, or who knows what?!<br><br>- Compassionate | Derek has a compassion for animals and naturally people too. He's not the type to stand idle when he sees an injustice. <br><br>- Unorganized | Derek is unorganized in his thoughts and this can cause him to be spacey in forgetting things or even losing track of a conversation halfway through. <br><br>- Easily Stressed | Derek does not do well during stress, so testing times of the year he can be often seen with a short fuse. <br><br>- Manipulated Easily | Derek admits often that maybe his sister has been bossing him around his entire life, but she does make things easier for him. That's a good thing, right? <br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong><br><br>Derek grew up in a cushioned household with his sister Dior Darley. The combined riches of their Mother's family's business of selling Nash broomsticks! Popular among children and no serious Quiddich players. But, they still sold, and when Carla's parents died -- it left a bit of money for nice estate in Liverpool where Dior and Derek grew up. Their household was decently strict, as their father was known for abiding strict rules from working so many terrible and mysterious spirit cases in the ministry. Magic was to be taken seriously, and there was little room to 'think outside the box.' Derek and his sister were very sheltered to begin with. <br><br>However, that all changed when they went to Hogwarts.<br><br>One would say that people don't truly find themselves until they're surrounded by school mates shaping their future, rather than their parents. Derek found himself particularly interested in this crazy thing they called sex in his later years. Discovering that he didn't have a preference for one type of human over the other. They all felt good against his skin, and they all amused him. He spent his first few years at Hogwarts being fairly shy and spending most of his time in Potions learning as much as he could. Luckily for him, the late bloomer in regards to socializing was probably the best thing. By the time he started becoming a social butterfly, establishing his own friend group, and confidence with himself -- he already was way ahead of the game in regards to potions. Even more luck, he's been excelling extremely well in potions and is looking to specialize this. Maybe even get a job with his father at the ministry in the most scientific department after he graduates. <br><br>Home life is still the same. With his grandfather being the only one left besides his immediate family, sometimes it goes even more old school during the holidays. For that reason Derek likes to find excuses to stay at Hogwarts during the holidays. <br><br>Another notable thing about Derek is his sister, and people don't let him often forget. So much of his life he's spent in the shadow of his sister, and he'll do just about anything she asks. She's helped him through some hard times, but that doesn't mean he hadn't forgotten the times where she has also royally thrown him under the bust. Loyalty is still at an all time high for him, so he won't do anything other than annoyed groans toward her when he's upset. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> <br><br>Making Potions (Strength) - He'll even do it in his free time. He loves creating new ideas to help keep him more focused during class, remember things, or maybe even some devious potions that are not suitable for students to make. <br><br>Pet Rat named Dragon - He was really into power metal when he got the rat. But the rat goes along everywhere with him. <br><br>His Family - At the end of the day he's extremely loyal to his family. <br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> <br><br>Doesn't like Cats - Had a bad experience once and now claims to be "allergic" <br><br>Rude People - People rude to people he knows or people he doesn't know. He'll fight for his friends, and everyone knows it. <br><br>Heights - He's not really a broom person. Which is kinda silly considering that it is where the riches from his family were made in. <br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><br>Mother | Carla Nash Darley | Housewife | 50 | Pureblood<br>Father | Matthew Darley | Ministry - Spirit Division | 54 | Pureblood<br>Twin Sister | Dior Darley (Looking for player for her.

Coming in at 5 foot 6 inches, she’s more pert than curvy. Her long blonde waves are usually pulled up on top of her head into a tail or a knot to keep them out of her way when tending patients. Clear blue eyes are set in a heart-shaped face with a mischievous smile and a button nose. Aside from killer cheekbones and a well-formed jawline, she is relatively average, able to blend into the background more easily than many would care to do; it sort of makes her the perfect mediwitch, enabling her to check vitals without causing interruptions. Her pale flesh is only marred by a smattering of freckles across her nose and cheeks when she’s spent too much time out in the sun. When allowed, she prefers casual clothing to anything remotely fussy, including robes. Generally, she can be found wearing jeans and a plain V-neck tee or a set of scrubs. Aside from the Beauxbatons class ring on her right-hand ring finger and the Ilvermorny class ring on her right-hand index finger, she wears no other jewelry on her hands, on her wrists, or around her neck from day to day. Her ears are an entirely different matter; each ear has double lobe piercings, a daith, and a helix, and her left ear houses an additional industrial barbell. The earrings in her lobes change daily, but the rest remain fairly consistent. If you’re privileged to get close enough to her, you may even catch a glimpse of her secret tattoo: a scattering of small stars (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/8d/b1/8a/8db18ad2833859380b08957690d4035d.jpg) on her right hip.<br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong><br><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td>Hardworking</td><td>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</td><td>Perfectionist</td><td>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</td><td>Naively trusting</td></tr><tr><td>Loyal</td><td>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</td><td>Levelheaded</td><td>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</td><td>Socially oblivious</td></tr><tr><td>Independent</td><td>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</td><td>Soothing</td><td>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</td><td>Loner</td></tr><tr><td>Introspective</td><td>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</td><td>Focused</td><td>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</td><td>Insomniac</td></tr><tr><td>Possessive</td><td>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</td><td>Patient: to a point</td><td>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</td><td>Addict: Caffeine</td></tr></tbody></table><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Growing up in Louisiana, part of the deep South in the States, can be strange. There’s a prevalent Cajun culture of mysticism and witchcraft among other things, which can make an actual witch feel rather comfortable. This sense of familiarity is likely what drew pure-blooded Sophie Lucette Beaumont to the area in the first place when she emigrated from France upon graduation from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. When she settled in Lafayette, she eventually met the kindest and noblest of muggle physicians, one Dr. Guy Bastien de la Roche, and the rest, as they say, is history.<br><br>With a magical mother, Sam grew up knowing she was special, but special in Louisiana is a dime a dozen. In her youth, Sam’s father insisted she attend muggle public schools; he wanted his daughter to receive a <em>full</em> education. Sam’s mother complied without too much fuss since she had an apothecary to run. Sam was an intelligent and inquisitive child, and her mother and father encouraged her exploration of the world, both magical and non-magical alike. It wasn’t long before she skipped the third grade, enabling her to almost finish muggle middle school before she went to receive her magical education.<br><br>There was a moment of conflict within the happy little family when Sam turned eleven. She was invited to attend her mother’s alma mater, Beauxbatons. Guy was disgruntled; boarding school wasn’t an American idea. Sophie insisted that it would be good for Sam, especially since the girl was already fluent in French. In the end, Sophie won. After all, Sophie had received a wonderful education which enabled her to create and manage her own business from the ground up. As for Sam, well, she liked the idea of being able to stay with her parents. Summers in Calais to visit grandmère and grandpère were nice, but she wasn’t entirely certain she would enjoy France year-round. Unfortunately, the young witch didn't get much of a say in her primary magical education.<br><br>Even with attending muggle public school, people didn’t seem overly concerned when Sam began displaying those awkward symptoms of coming into one’s own magic during puberty. It was Lafayette, after all, and strange things happened more often than not. Most people just chalked it up to Louisiana’s history. When Sam left for Beauxbatons, the locals simply thought she had gone off to some fancy French academy, following directly in her mother’s footsteps. They weren't entirely wrong.<br><br>Sam's years at Beauxbatons were mostly happy, though she greatly disliked the school uniform and took every chance to change into something entirely comfortable outside of classes. Unlike her French and European classmates, Sam was thoroughly American and didn't quite fit in with their worldly attitudes and classic fashion sense, but as time went on, she found a small group of friends and a balance between European and Continental that worked for her and still serves her well today. Her education remained thorough and well-rounded. Excelling at many things, she focused her studies on those subjects which would be most useful in the healing arts, having long decided to become the magical counterpart to her father's status as muggle physician. From Beauxbatons Sam went directly to Ilvermorny to continue her education in magical medicine under the direct supervision of Healer Apenimon Hatathli, a renowned Indigenous American mediwizard. Upon graduation from Ilvermorny, she served her three year residency back home in Louisiana's own St. Rafael's Hospital for Supernatural Syndromes and, upon completion, stayed on at the institution, content to remain in the deep South for the rest of her years.<br><br>Upon announcement of the reinstitution of the Triwizard Tournament, Matron Eliza Evans insisted on additional aid in the Hogwarts Infirmary. Neither Minister Granger nor Headmaster Phixyll could disagree with the request, and so a search was launched the world over. Somehow Sam's name was added to the list of potential prospects, and after a lengthy interview process, she was awarded the position. Unable to pass up the opportunity to work at such a historical institution, Sam took the position, figuring it would only be a year before she could once again return to St. Rafael's. Arriving only a few weeks ago, she's still finding her way about the castle and grounds, but she certainly knows her way about the infirmary. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li>Pain au chocolat</li><li>Coffee</li><li>The outdoors</li><li>The smell of a storm rolling in</li></ul> <br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li>Too many gloomy days in a row</li><li>Dishonesty - especially in the infirmary (Heaven forbid you lie about the level of pain you’re in or waste her time with a faux groin injury.)</li><li>Candied yams</li><li>Lack of coffee</li></ul><br><strong>Family:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li>Dr. Guy Bastien de la Roche, M.D. | Father | Family Medicine | 61 | Muggle</li><li>Sophie Lucette de la Roche née Beaumont | Mother | Apothecary owner and operator | 50 | Pure-blood</li></ul><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong><br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> - O<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - A<br><em>Potions</em> - O<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Astronomy</em> - E<br><em>Divination</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic</em> - A<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong><br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> - O<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> -O<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> – O<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> An elf owl (https://media.buzzle.com/media/images-en/photos/birds/owls/1200-22052865-elf-owl-on-tree.jpg) named Elrond<br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Natalie Dormer<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Aria a la Roni (O&amp;O) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=204986.0)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li>Fluent in French (though her player is not)</li><li>Former Head Girl at Ilvermorny for Pukwudgie House in the University division</li><li>Speaks with the slow drawl of the New Orleans area, though it's dulled a bit over the years.</li></ul></div></div>

Calm, burdened look. Scruffy. Often wears black, and colors of all four Houses.<br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Generally does not make eye contact with people he's shy or uncomfortable around. But if he's soft on you, he'd look at you in the eyes. Gregarious and conversational when in private, but silently spectating when in large crowds. Slow-paced when focused, which makes him a slow duelist and caster, but quick-paced when wandering or reacting. Not too picky and would answer "anything" to anything but if he had to choose, he'd choose black tea or if you had any salted cashew nuts. Esteemed that he often speaks briefly and soft-spoken, and acts more and covertly, as if it tires him to talk or to be interrupted. Rex is devoted to his studies, specifically Charms with Professor Pearson, Ancient Runes with Professor Mandalik, and Muggle Studies with Professor Clemens. Sometimes up to mischief and getting involved in the stir. Easily frustrated, stubborn, jealous, and avoidant. Strangers would be surprised at how the sleepy, peaceful wizard would be annoyed with certain wizard tropes. For every elaborate scheme of complicated magic, there was a simple charm or rune for that. Sometimes he just can't hold his tongue, for sake of convenience. He is aware of his faults and really struggles to change. Some switch is off up in his head, all right. Really does not want too much attention. Hides his heroics.<br><br>Rex scratches his beard now and then before he responds, Rex rests his hands in his pockets, Rex mulls things over but only right after the conversations, Rex laughs abruptly and quietly at the dark things, Rex insincerely congratulates others for their victories while grimacing at his hand that shook theirs, Rex follows the news with what goes about the Ministry as if he had dreams of joining them one day. Often Rex is running late, mouthful of food. Rex enjoys pastimes like Quidditch, wizard's chess, and Sudoku. Rubik's cubes and retro video games are boring and easy to solve for him now. While greatly exposed to the wizarding world especially drawn to their charms and runes, he is fascinated with Muggles and their limited but optimistic logic. He ponders their differences at any moment, what a Muggle would do here and now, and what a wizard would do differently. There were witches and wizards in the past who generally treated him differently either for his looks or gentleness. Some deceived him to avoid hurting his feelings, some assumed he was too passive, and some surprised him with how unconditionally loving they were. But there were some who thought he would not fight back or speak up for himself. They were right. He would go quiet, debate what to do, and leave. He is low-key flirty, laidback, and cautious. Rex gets fancy romantic notions in his head sometimes, a little soft towards who he admires. Sometimes forgets, sometimes forgives, sometimes forgoes. He brings little charming gifts to all his friends. Rex is mostly neutral, just looking to be amused. Can be dry and sarcastic, if the time calls for it, but he almost always offers an exit strategy.<br><br>Sometimes bored with decorations or his clothes, Rex would fiddle until it was the right color or it at least looked less garish. Would be bored at certain rooms and times that he would add a charm here and there, to keep his mind off things. His favorite colors are black and rainbow. He swears his lucky number is 5. He has too many questions, so he tends to limit himself to asking one or two. Tends to exaggerate and drawls some word. Protective and keeps in touch with his family in Hogsmeade. Enjoys long walks in the Forbidden Forest and scuba-diving to see what had fallen to the bottom of the Lake. He keeps active and on the go, traveling hither and fro, and also seeks internship with Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, or the Ministry where he can rise ranks but still be second to someone preferably Slytherin. While he is nice, he has no issue with committing crimes if it meant securing the greater good. Looks for secrets behind doors, skeletons in closets, and anything buried. Investigative and undaunted.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Rex Steele caught early on the workings of the "real world" for the wizards and the muggles. How things worked and how they spent their days. Each story was different, and he would shadow them until he realized he had a story of his own. At Hogwarts, it was lesson after lesson, embarrassments and failures, but he never made the same mistake twice. He got better and better, managed to stay alive long enough to graduate and resume at university level. His family, bartenders at Hogsmeade, encouraged him to chase a greater future and livelihood. They saw he was always bored, quiet, hesitant, thinking, uncertain, from child to man his entire life. He eventually grew experimental and curious with charms, runes, Muggles, and the Ministry at least. It was all they would hear him talk about. Sometimes they did not understand what he rambled on about, but it was something that got him passionate so they let it be. Had plenty experience bartending and helped out his dad and grandma at their bar in Hogsmeade. Knows how to make Muggle favorites and would tempt the magic folx to try a sample. He was around Hogwarts and Hogsmeade a while, enjoying overhearing people's tales of adventure, romance, grief, and shame. He keeps many of their secrets to himself. Rex once robbed an old, unmarked tomb in the middle of nowhere, undoing its runes, taking its contents, and leaving unseen, and that left him exhilarated each time he remembered. Worried that Rex might run one day to live with the Muggles, his family would casually spout a list of weaknesses and negatives that come with that depressing, deprived, and depraved livelihood.<br><br>At Hogwarts before university level, Rex often found trouble or as they said, trouble found him. He would accidentally stumble across a secret tunnel, corridor, or room and then forget how to get back to it. He sometimes was caught out of bed, after curfew, and was forced to scrub the bathrooms by hand. Rex managed to redirect his suppressed anger towards Quidditch opponents. By university, Rex became less quarrelsome and more serious about his career as a result. He spoke much with his favorite teachers, taking as much extra credit as he could, and bothered less with House Points than he did back then. People knew him for his collection of Muggle junk. If asked, he provided. He loudly complained for not having any access to Muggle Internet while at Hogwarts. The memes, he cried out. During his summers, he was either at Hogsmeade bartending or laboring at Diagon Alley, interacting closer with the Ministry. He visited Muggle international cities for a closer look. He voted for Granger to be Minister. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong>&nbsp; Using what he's learned, following the lives of famous powerful Slytherins, exercise; he has an endless collection of Muggle objects. Loves showing them to witches and wizards, and correcting them with confusing Muggle secrets. He cannot get enough of magic. If time passes too long without a spell, he declares time of death. Men, can't get enough of them. He is golden star gay. Dressed as a woman once. Not fond of the makeup or high heels. Rex has a penchant for tigers of all stripes and colors. Loves to cook, clean, and sleep. Rex immediately makes his personal environment more comfortable and sometimes dusky and candlelit. When he dreams, he dreams of standing at a marble temple floating in the clouds of endless sky. Sometimes he dreams of being in the deepest parts of the rainforest, watching neon dart frogs leap on by. Rex has a sort of a druid spirituality, not very religious or discriminating, and believes that all has the right to live as they see it and harm none.<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong>&nbsp; Refuses to drink alcohol, despite that he'd make and serve it. Refuses to smoke tobacco, prefers marijuana. Losing control of his life or his body, cliques that mistreat him, sociopaths, psychopaths, Dark Arts, cruelty, sex jokes, guilt trips, being accused, being touched or bewitched without his permission, and being verbally/nonverbally threatened. Rex has glossophobia. If he has something important to say - even if it meant life or death - and there's 10+ faces staring back at him, already judging or waiting to judge, he just shuts down. This is why he is not good with publicity, addressing the nation, or even running a business. Despite being ambitious, he is dependent on a boss or partner. Rex will not settle for substandard or staying poor. Miserable when he gets a chest cold. Does not bother with revenge or people who do. A little tic with fixing or beautifying things to make it seem "right". Cannot endure the sight of anyone getting abused and would step in to stop it. <br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br>Father | Harvey Steele | Hogsmeade bartender | Age 46 | Pure-blood. <br>Mother | Kate Gould-Steele | Unemployed due to Illness | 25 upon death | Pure-blood.

He has an older sister called Victoria who is four years his senior. Valentin grew up in the family's vineyard in the outskirt of Cassis, located less than 20 kilometers to the east of Marseille. He often ended up in the <acronym title="Nickname for Marseille">cité phocéenne</acronym> for various reasons during his youth, notably to go see matches of the local football team with his father at the Stade Vélodrome. <br><br>At a young age, Valentin began reading Franco-Belgian comic books known in French as <em>bandes dessinées</em> or BD for short, a common cultural practice. From Tintin to Astérix, Valentin devoured all the comics, falling in love with Spirou especially. He also read the famous magical tales and stories of the wizarding kind but felt somehow a bigger connection with the Muggle heroes. Entering his teenager years, he started developing his own magic and was an average student, neither excelling nor failing in any class. By the time he took his OWLs, Valentin had realized he had an affinity for history and developed his political thoughts, with particular focus on the French context. <br><br>After graduating from high school level, he pursued his university education at Beauxbâtons, after obtaining his NEWT grades. He did better than he expected and found a particular liking to wandless magic. He is currently trying to set up a student union at Beauxbâtons and intends on exporting the idea to other European schools.

She is constantly wearing thick black eyeliner, sometimes bright red lipstick, but not much else as far as makeup goes. Her style tends to be feminine and aggressive. She has an athletic build and stands 5'7". <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Tough, proud, competitive, hard-partying, defensive about certain things, oddly maternal at unexpected times.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> The daughter of a Geordie witch named Iris 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 straightened out and now holds down a steady job as a bank teller. 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. Once she took over as starting beater, Hufflepuff quickly stopped being considered the 'nice' team they were before, and became a team that opposing captains started learning to keep a spare seeker around for after their starter inevitably got taken to the medical tower.<br><br>She found her behavior improving quite a lot with Quidditch in her life to work out her aggression with. She also found that she was able to leave any serious rivalry on the field. She talks a lot of smack, jokes inappropriately, and exhibits very poor respect for other's personal space, but she stopped starting physical fights for no reason after she made it on the quidditch team. Despite her mom's advice, she falls in love rather easily and out just as fast. She has a habit of being done with either men or women depending on who she last dated. <br><br>Loveday proved to be an incredible student at Defense Against the Dark Arts. Her instincts and some mix of readiness to fight and stubborn refusal to be intimidated, not to mention an unusually strong attunement with her powerful wand, led to her counter charms and attacks being some of the strongest in her class. Her black dragon patronus is notorious for scaring several of her classmates more than the thing it was meant to defend against. On the other hand, she tends to be awful at classes that require meticulous thinking and academic rigor. Despite this she got her shit together in a surprising way and either finally applied herself or got incredibly lucky depending on which teacher your ask - earning enough Es and Os to keep going. <br>&nbsp; <br>Loveday was accepted into the university level of Hogwarts and continued to star on the Quidditch team. Her focus, that very people ever know, is based on her dream of either becoming a professional Quidditch player or an Auror. Her grades are barely good enough to be in the consideration for Auror-hood, but she hasn't given up yet. <br><br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Quidditch, smack talking, exchanging insults in a heated manner, riding broomsticks, drunken debauchery, violence, almost getting arrested. <br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Gryffindors, Slytherins, ideologues of any stripe, rich people, people who don't drink, people who don't play quidditch. Terrified of failing, ending up a nobody, career ending injuries. <br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><br>Mother | Iris Malkins | Bank Teller | 42 | Muggle-Born<br><br>Father | Peter Malkins | Drain on Society | 48 | Muggle <br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong>&nbsp; <br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - A<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - D<br><em>Potions</em> - P<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>Divination</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic</em> - D<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - D<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong><br><br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Eva Wahlström<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong>&nbsp; Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=270124.0)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong>&nbsp; <br><br>Addison is Loveday's tutor within Hufflepuff. The two are close, but know they are friends and not much more. They have commiserated about their odd positions where one is pressured to be an Auror and doesn't want to, whereas the other would die to be one and it seems a pipe dream at times. Loveday loves her pet ferret! <br><br>Audrey receives the brunt of all of Lovedays dislike of Americans. There is a lot of it. <br><br>Belladonna is an adorable baby Hufflypuff and woe betide any who do her wrong in Loveday's presence. <br><br>Derek had a crush on Loveday in the past. The feeling was not mutual. Things are awkward now, and Loveday bullies him out of a sense of exasperation that he doens't stand up to her more than anything else anymore.&nbsp; <br><br>Loveday and Dior fought a magical duel. Loveday won. Bigly. Later she missed a big test due to sleeping in under mysterious circumstances. The rivalry is not dead. <br><br>Dyani had aims to be a rival to Loveday, but Loveday was more aroused than angered and has pinned the girl to the wall at Hogsmeade a few times. Sensing a bit of the bird with the broken wing, Loveday sometimes drags Dyani along to be wild with her. Sometimes it ends just as explosively as it began. Very dsyfunctional friends and sometimes more, these two. <br><br>Haley is treated like Loveday's never-not-tormented little sister. If someone else picks on her, Loveday defends her and then turns around and berates her for not defending herself. <br><br>Loveday and Joanna were gearing up to be rivals, but a good night of drinking and they came together and are now rather at ease with each other. <br><br>Loveday and Nemesis went to the big dance their 1st/2nd year together. Afterwards the relationship just sort of petered out. They're not great around each other now, but far from actively hostile. <br><br>Loveday tolerates her fellow Geordie Rex despite his lack of a real accent and chats with him while drunk at the bar sometimes! <br><br>Loveday claims to absolutely despise Rhys and talks about his antics in a manner that approaches 'methinks the not-at-all-a-Lady doth protest too much.' The two clash rather fiercely on the quidditch court, and while they keep it to words always make people worry something physical (in one way or another) is going to break out off of it.

Her only reason for showing up at home was too make sure her sisters were okay.&nbsp; Esmee grew up a few blocks from the red-light district and its rampant gang and drug problems.&nbsp; She somehow avoided joining or getting forced into one of the local gangs and kept herself busy tagging with a couple of friends.&nbsp; It was during this time that her love of art began to flourish only tempered by the hell that was her family. She poured that pain into her art and her graffiti gave her some minor notoriety and protection as long as she stayed away from the numerous tuff tags that denoted gangland boundaries.&nbsp; She has been busted a couple of times for graffiti and is on the local law enforcement’s radar as a “troubled youth.” <br><br>When she was a kid and her dad was alive she would go with him to the local pool hall from time to time.&nbsp; The owner of the hall would let her play while her dad drank and watched soccer with his friends.&nbsp; She has gotten pretty good and started hustling in order to pay off the tickets she got for tagging. The owner of the pool hall kept an eye on her in an effort keep her out of serious trouble, saving her from a beating once and steering her clear of hustling the wrong people. She didn’t know that the man was a wizard and saw how probability seemed to always fall young Esmee’s way. It was Mr. De Vries that brought her to the attention of the Ministry of Magic and vouched for her admittance into Beauxbaton Academy.&nbsp; <br><br>Much to his surprise Esmee refused to attend.&nbsp; Her Father finally managed to drink himself to death which sent her mother into a downward spiral that didn’t seem to end.&nbsp; There was no one to protect her sisters.&nbsp; Her eldest brother Bram managed to get himself killed fighting on a mission for the U.N. and her other brother came back from battle broken.&nbsp; She was only 16 and bring sister and mom to her young siblings and fighting nightly with her drunk mom.&nbsp; She couldn’t leave.&nbsp; Mr. De Vries promised to look after them if she were to attend.&nbsp; Reluctantly she agreed but the decision continues to torment her.&nbsp; She feels like she bailed on her family when they needed her the most. <br>&nbsp;<br>Being surrounded by opulence and excess that was the Academy only made Esmee angry.&nbsp; Any one of the teachers there or even Mr. De Vries could have helped her family.&nbsp; They could have turned her violent father into a newt or whisked her entire family off to someplace beautiful and magical and far away from the shit hole she lived in.&nbsp; She rebelled against almost everything, her teachers, her studies, everything but her art which she took to with grim determination.&nbsp; Her first year at the school she got her first tattoo. She loved it and her passion for ink fueled her art.&nbsp; She practiced on herself before she turned the needle on others and her body slowly filled with a lifetime of beauty, sin and pain.&nbsp; It took some of the self-destructive edge away from her, but her rebel spirit had forever been written in her flesh and she embraced it.&nbsp; <br><br>Every break she goes back home to a shattered life and tries to pick up its jagged pieces, putting as many of them back in place with duct tape, tears and a little magic and every time she returns to school she covers new scars in ink so she doesn’t fall to pieces.<br><br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Tattoos, art, her sisters, honesty, loud music, innocence, beauty in the strangest of places, aebleskivers, Dutch chocolate.<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Talking about her family, privilege, snobs, fakery, small food, crullers, runny foods, tapioca.<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> The Visser family is large.&nbsp; Esmee is the middle of 6 kids.&nbsp; She has two older brothers, one younger brother and two younger sisters.&nbsp; Her dad was a mean drunk when he was alive and her mom is just a drunk.&nbsp; Both used a belt for discipline and while her brothers probably got the worst of it she wasn’t spared her share.&nbsp; Both of Esmee’s brothers went into the military after secondary school.&nbsp; Her eldest brother Bram had done well for himself there, but another older brother Sem came home different.&nbsp; Broken somehow. Sem was Esmee’s favorite brother.&nbsp; The one that looked after her and her younger sisters.&nbsp; How he was damaged.&nbsp; He drinks like her dad used too.&nbsp; He doesn’t get violent, he just goes away.&nbsp; Sometimes he cries, sometime he just sits there.&nbsp; Esmee’s younger brother, Lucas, joined the Turtles, a gang that controlled the drug trade in her neighborhood.&nbsp; Her younger sisters are still in primary school.<br><br>Father | Liam | Dead | Dead | Muggle <br>Mother | Zala | Drunk | 41 | Muggle <br>Brother | Bram | Dead | Dead | Muggle <br>Brother | Sem | PTSD Victim | 24 | Muggle <br>Brother | Lucas | Gang Banger | 16 | Muggle <br>Sister | Emma | Student | 9 | Muggle <br>Sister | Eva | Student | 9 | Muggle <br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> - O<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - A<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>Divination</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic</em> - A<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - E<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> – O<br><em>Herbology</em> – O<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> None <br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Cleo Watterstom<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Please provide a link to your On's and Off's with: Here (http://O/O LINK)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> </div></div>

He has broad shoulders and defined muscles, while maintaining more of a slim figure than a bulky one. He never intended to get a six pack, but what with all of the physical and martial training at Durmstrang, it happened almost naturally. His hair is chestnut brown with streaks of copper, his eyes are a rich espresso shade, and his skin tone is slightly tanned. He has freckles dotting his cheeks, forehead and neck in sporadic sprinklings. There is almost no taming his hair, so he puts a little balm on his hands and runs his fingers through it, letting it do its own, slightly messy, spiky thing. <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Protective | Stubborn | Modest | Jealous | Possessive | Indulgent | Playful<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Aaren was born to Olle and Ida Sandstrom, who were, in their parents opinions, much too young to have their first child. Olle was twenty and Ida was nineteen. It was never their plan to increase their family so soon, but it had happened - and it happened during the holidays, when he was visiting home. Ida worried when she found out about him being a wizard and going to Durmstrang for his education, that he would leave her, knocked up and alone. Olle promised he would be there for her as often as he could be. It didn't help that she could never visit him at school, since Durmstrang was so secretive about its location and teachings. However, as soon as he could, he learned how to apparate, and made sure he was there for Ida whenever he could be. His grades started to suffer as a result and one professor took notice. He couldn't lie about it, and frankly, could use some advice from someone wiser and older than he was. So, accomodations were made and Olle was able to finish his schooling, while still being there for his pregnant girlfriend. When their son was born, Ida let go of her dreams to go to college and instead, focused on being the best mother she could be. The school paid for her to live nearby - close enough that Olle could live with them while he attended Durmstrang. And, with love guiding them, they made it work. <br><br>They were married when Aaren was two years old. Just one short year later, and Ida was pregnant with Aaren's baby sister, Linn. Olle taught Aaren the importance of being an upstanding man. He taught Aaren how to take care of his sister. Even though they had their fair share of spats, like all siblings do, at the end of the day, Aaren made sure his little sister was always cared for, protected and even though he'd never say it, he actually enjoyed her company quite a bit. The two siblings spent most of their academic careers in school at around the same time. But during the overlaps when Aaren couldn't check on her, he grew a bit anxious, especially when he'd hear say that she was struggling with stress or having a difficult time acclimating. When Aaren decided that he would be putting his name into the goblet of fire for the Triwizard Tournament, Linn protested. She knew it was dangerous and risky, that every other tournament ended in someone's death. But, she couldn't talk him out of it.<br><br>Aaren has learned, after a bit of experimentation in his teens, that he doesn't care about the gender of a person, in terms of a romantic relationship. He has been with both men and women, and finds that he had no real preference between the two. When he wants to be with someone, it's because of who they are, not what their genetic makeup dictates. The only person in his family who knows about him being bisexual is his sister, Linn. Though it took her some time to get used to the idea of her brother dating anyone, let alone dating either gender, she accepted him for who he is, knowing that he would do the exact same thing for her. If anything, it strengthened and solidified their bond with one another. This year, undoubtedly, will be difficult for them both. Aaren is heading to Hogwarts for the tournament, but Linn is staying behind at Durmstrang, maintaining that it is too dangerous and risky, no matter how many protective charms and preventive spells were placed on the courses. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Homemade food | Being in control | Good fortune (thanks to his wand, even if some people believe that's just a superstition) <br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Burnt or otherwise inedible food | Intolerant people | Fear of ending up alone or being shunned by his family <br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><br>Father | Olle Sandstrom | Department of Mysteries - Sweden | 41 | Half-blood<br>Mother | Ida Sandstrom | Baker - works from home | 40 | Muggle <br>Sister | Linn Sandstrom | Student - Durmstrang | 19 | Half-blood <br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - A<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - O<br><em>Potions</em> - A<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Astronomy</em> - E<br><em>Divination</em> - O<br><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - E<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - A<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - A<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Astronomy</em> - E<br><em>Divination</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - E<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Gregg Sulkin<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=156601.msg7169944#msg7169944)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> Aaren has a mild Swedish accent, but is fluent in both Swedish and English.</div></div>

Her hair is naturally blonde and her eyes are hazel, though she is known to play with hair length, color, and style with an assortment of Glamor Charms.<br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Vain | Selfish | Lazy | Bossy | Demanding | High Maintenance | Arrogant | Elitist | Entitled <br><br>Dior is the very definition of a rich bitch. Having been raised in the lap of luxury, she is utterly unaware of her privilege and therefore takes them for granted. She truly believes that some people are just better than others, and does not empathize well with those who she deems beneath her. Thus, she is quite solipsistic. In efforts to get her way, Dior will lie, cheat, steal, or otherwise throw her weight around.<br><br>Exceptionally vain, she is obsessed with her appearance and dislikes any activities that threaten her look, such as Care of Magical Creatures (outside, dirt, wind), Potions (messy, smelly), Flying, etc. <br><br>She has a reputation for being popular, though she is also known to be a cocktease. There have been plenty of boyfriends throughout the years, but no one serious, and there is not a single soul in Hogwarts who can say they’ve “been with Dior Darley.” Elitist, she strongly dislikes anyone touching her without her express permission, even when dating. However, this is not due to prudishness but rather, slim pickings of eligible men who are worthy of such a gift.<br><br>Like most young women, Dior is interested in pop culture and maintains relevancy by exposing herself to Muggle social media as well as celebrities so that she can keep up with the latest music and trends. Her social calendar is more important to her than her grades, and why would she bother to write essays when she can con her twin brother Derek into doing it for her?<br><br>Under the mask, Dior is much more genuine than she allows others to see. When she lets her hair down and removes the stick from her ass, she is fun to be around, witty, and prone to girlish giggling. However, the only people so far who have seen this side of her are very old friends (of which she has few) and her twin brother.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Dior has only known luxury. Raised with wealth thanks to the family business (Nash Broomsticks, popular among Quidditch athletes), the twins were given everything they could ever need or want, however, they were often sheltered from other children given how strictly their household was kept. As the only children to Purebloods, magic was a topic held in such high regard that Dior began to resent it.<br><br>At Hogwarts, Dior’s access to space and privacy marginally improved her overall attitude and she found herself quickly climbing the social ladder. Now in her 6th year, she is easily one of the most popular girls in school, a fact that she will wield like a rapier if necessary.

It's always incredibly fully, frizzy, and sometimes looks like she hadn't brushed it in ages. However, if people only knew how much effort she put into making her hair look this way they would be shocked. The woman is very infatuated with the way she looks, and isn't afraid to let others see it, as well. Known for wearing sheer tops that expose her breasts without batting a heavily mascara coated eyelash. Women were allowed to be more free with their bodies in France, and she hopes that is not going to cause a problem when she visits for the Tri-wizard tournament. (Oh, who is she kidding. She can't wait for it to cause a problem).<br><br>Her devious smirk always comes on painted lips of something bold. Hangovers are often and are hidden by heavy black sunglasses, even while she's inside. She likes to wear mostly black, but knows how to clean herself up when she needs to. A pop of color and a brush of her hair, for someone who is so accustomed to living in a black and white movie, can make her look like a saint on a good day. Ria has that rebellious curve to her hip always sticking out, and her eyes constantly rolling at any who annoyed her. Especially her brother. <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong><br><br>- Rebellious | Rules were meant to be broken, and she gets enjoyment for not following the traditional route. <br><br>- Thrill Seeker | Ria is always looking for the next 'thing'. Drugs, parties, sex, breaking rules, skipping class--anything she can do to make herself feel alive. <br><br>- Vain | At least it makes her fashionable. <br><br>- Quick Witted | She's clever when she wants to apply herself. Usually her quick wit is used to find a perfect insult or way to manipulate a situation to her benefit. <br><br>- Arrogant | Ria has a lot of stubbornness in her, and her pride stands in her way quite often with an unrealistic high opinion of how everything should go. <br><br>- Romantic | She doesn't like people to know this, but deep on down she's a sucker for a good romance. <br><br>- Moody | You never really know what mood she's going to be in. Emotions pay a toll on her. <br><br>- Impulsive | Who cares about tomorrow. Lets do it! <br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong><br><br>Victoria "Ria" is the firstborn child of Armand Delestrac, a Muggle wine producer in the region of Cassis, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southern France near Marseille, and Clémence Besancenot, a Witch and relatively successful writer. She has a younger brother named Valentin that is four years his younger. While sh grew up in the family's vineyard in the outskirt of Cassis, located less than 20 kilometers to the east of Marseille--she hated it. She always wanted to go to the city. She couldn't wait for the day to be sent off and out of her lovely household to go attend Beauxbatons. It was a wonder they even let her attend, as her normal grades were teetering around the average.<br><br>Not because Ria wasn't a talented mage, but because she never applied herself. When it came to leaving the vineyard? Fuck yes--she would apply herself.<br><br>While in Beauxbatons she's caused quite the trouble for any of her professors or disciplinary caretakers. She's was known for pranks in her younger years, like putting actual live toads inside of the chocolate candies during Bastille Day celebrations. It eventually grew on to discovering her sexuality, playing around with one heart to the next. Searching for that perfect connection she had seen in rom-com movies. Smoking, alcohol, occasionally pill popping and smoking of other substances came next. Now, she's a collection of all of her phases in one. She thought Beauxbatons would be better, but finds it just as boring as living on the Vinyard. <br><br>Not only that, but her brother decided to come too. Which totally ruined her 'I'm alone in this vile world' vibe that she was pulling off for a while. She doesn't associate much with her brother, mostly because he's a mega nerd who cares too much. She doesn't understand him at all, but at the end of the day will stand up for him if she has to. Her time as Beauxbatons couldn't end faster even if she wanted it. However, the prospect of visiting Hogwarts during the Tri-Wizard tournament on the excuse of watching over her brother sounds like a good way to spend this year. Maybe school would go quicker so she could leave. At least she'd get a education to get a proper job once she graduates. Or <em>if</em> she graduates. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> <br><br>Cheap Thrills - If it's impulsive, quick, and a good for her without costing a lot of energy to work on -- she's in. <br><br>Sex/Drugs/Alcohol - She's got it fixated in her head that the rock and roll lifestyle is the best lifestyle.<br><br>Compliments - A sucker for a compliment always. <br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> <br><br>Her Brother - She doesn't hate him, but he's such a nerd. She really doesn't want to be associated as a nerd by proxy of him. <br><br>Being Ignored - She may not actively seek attention, but in that process she's actually the worst attention seeker of them all. She hates being ignored and will throw a fit if so. <br><br>Lack of Smoke Breaks - Always a huge downer in her book. She needs to break away and relax, or she gets really irritable. <br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><br>Father | Armand Delestrac | Wine producer | 52 | Muggle<br>Mother | Clémence Besancenot | Writer | 49 | Half-blood<br>Brother | Valentin Delestrac | Beauxbâtons student | 19 | Half-blood<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br>Charms - A<br>Transfiguration - A<br>Herbology - E<br>Defense Against the Dark Arts - E<br>Ancient Runes - D<br>Potions - P<br>Care of Magical Creatures - P<br>Astronomy - A<br>Divination - A<br>History of Magic - P<br>Arithmancy - A<br>Muggle Studies - A<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong><br><br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - (Advanced) -- Even if it looks like she would be the type to do Dark Arts, she's pretty good at fighting it. <br><em>Herbology</em> - (Advanced) -- Specialized in anything to do with altering the mind. <br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Charli XCX<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> O&amp;O (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=142047.0)<br><strong>Notes:</strong> Want Ad: I'd like some rebellious friends with her.

Much to Evie's disdain, her family, up until recent generations, did partake in the traditions of inbreeding to keep lines pure. Much of that ended with her Great Grand Mother Nerida Vulchanova, who was a woman ahead of her time. They no longer take the pure-blood supremacy to the point of inbreeding and they are willing to marry half-bloods.&nbsp; As they have no Muggles or Muggle-borns in their family tree, they are still a pure-blood family, just not as fanatic as they were in the past. Something Evie is glad for.<br><br>While there is no proof, many believe there to be a curse on the women in the Vulchanova family. It started with the mysterious death of Nerida. Many believed Hargan Munter (https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Harfang_Munter), who took over as Headmaster of Durmstrang following her death, to be involved. Nothing was ever proven, as no body was ever found. Any woman who was born into or associated with the family met similar fates. Her Grand Mother Petia was found dead in her potions lab and it was assumed to be a potion gone wrong. Her Great Grand Mother Lyubov was found dead outside the pen of a dragon she was caring for, but no signs of the dragon attacking her were there and no outward signs of cause were found. Her Great Grand Mother Krasimira was found dead in her bed and assumed to have passed in her sleep. Her Grand Mother Emiliya was found dead in her garden and it was assumed she was bitten by something, though no marks were found. <br><br>At ten years old, Evie attended her mother, Rosita's, funeral. Her father told her <acronym title="No sword can cut a bowed head."><em>"Нито един меч не може да отреже наведена глава."</em></acronym>. Meaning she could sit and cry quietly over the loss of her mother or she could stand up and show the world that her mother's life meant something by making her own life worth something. No sword could cut her head if she dared to be honest and stand for something. After the funeral, as was tradition, she was given her mother's wand. The Cypress Wand had passed into the hand of every blood and married into female of their family since before her great great grand mother Nerida. It was a strong willed wand for a strong willed witch. Their family does believe the wand chooses the person and Evie has no doubts that the Vulchanova Cypress Wand had chosen each and every one of them, herself included.<br><br>During schooling, Evdokiya did as was expected of her. She excelled in <em>nearly</em> all of her classes. She made friends, dated, and kept the legacy of her family going. The biggest risk she took was in disappointing her father by refusing the arranged marriages he attempted to set up for her. While the terms 'asexual' and 'panromantic' are new to her vocabulary, she knows now that these are where she falls on the sexual spectrum. When she was in her twenties and turning down marriages, she was merely brushed off as unmarketable and a future spinster.<br><br>Evie built herself up as a force to be reckoned with. She did not submit easily to anything.<br><br>The decision to return to Durmstrang was a difficult one. While the school was founded on the ideals of her witch great-great grandmother, those ideals were heavily skewed over the many years. Getting the Herbology position wasn't difficult. Her record supported it and it was always good publicity for any school to allow descendants of their founder's to maintain positions. How would it have looked for Durmstrang to reject her? She, nor her father, would have sat back quietly about that.<br><br>After several years at the school, Evie put her foot down once again to be allowed to travel to Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament. Her narrative was simple, "A Vulchanova started this school and a Vulchanova will be in attendance of all school functions."<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Reading.</li><li>Gardening.</li><li>Good conversations.</li><li>Evie will never give nonconstructive criticism.

She has two siblings including a brother, Nicolae, two years younger than her, and a sister, Lavinia, four years younger than her. The family lived outside Chișinău, in a wizarding village on the outskirt of the Moldovan capital. Their parents were often away for work, leaving Nadia and her siblings alone and having to take care of themselves a lot through their teenage years especially. <br><br>Nadia as the eldest felt the most responsibility, but also was the most curious in testing her freedom, partying and enjoying her youth. The strictness of her magical education made that desire only grow bigger as she attended Durmstrang. After graduating the high school division with higher than average grades, Nadia entered the university division with optimism for her future. The first few years went well, as she developed her magic and realized the kind of person she was, with a few affairs here and there, but nothing committed as she didn't like the idea of people knowing her too much. She nevertheless enjoyed herself, having gotten used to the Durmstrang lifestyle and almost fully embracing it. <br><br>Things changed however at the end of her 4th year, when she attended a party hosted by a graduating Ukrainian pure-blood wizard she hardly knew. He took a liking to her and flirted aggressively all night long with her. As everyone got drunker and higher on drugs, the wizard eventually left her alone for a moment, which she thought was her solace and moment to escape, but a friend of her's blocked her way out inadvertently and insisted she stay to have more fun. She stayed and drank more, passing out on a couch while talking to people. When she woke up, she was not in the living room anymore, but in a bedroom. Without going into details, she was then sexually assaulted by the Ukrainian wizard and two of his friends, and then left by herself after being threatened not to say a word about what happened. <br><br>Ever since, Nadia has suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, including nightmares. She started smoking regularly as a coping mechanism, the nicotine helping her slightly, but it wasn't enough.

Addison is of slender build and stature, standing at 5’4, but holds herself with such confidence she appears taller than she really is. Practical and simplistic, she keeps her hair short for ease of maintenance and is often wearing clothes designed for comfort and movement.<br><br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Addison is a true Hufflepuff. She is fiercely loyal, dedicated to her goals and patient with people and creatures alike. She believes in hard work and fairness and will stand up against adversity and cruelty without hesitation. She’s used to being teased for the house she represented at Hogwarts (her family being primarily Ravenclaw and Slytherin) but Addison wears yellow and black with pride. She loves animals of all breeds, but has a fondness for the quirky and misunderstood.<br><br><br><strong>History:</strong> Iceland wasn’t as lonely as people often believed, but growing up in such an open landscape gave Addison an appreciation for company and mother nature. Having no brothers or sisters or even cousins who were local to the area, she spent her youth wandering the wilderness and climbing high places to soak in the views. Everywhere she looked there was water in some form; icebergs, snow capped peaks, the endless waterfalls leading to the stretch of ocean on the horizon. She would explore caves and soak in hot springs and never tired of the northern lights dancing above her head. <br><br>But life inside the walls of home wasn’t as pleasant. Her parents were quite strict with early studies and while they didn’t frown at her sense of daring and adventure, they didn’t agree with her softer side. “You better toughen up when you become an auror like your father,” he would often say. “People would walk all over you if you worked in the ministry,” was often muttered by her mother. Her voiced interests as a magizoologist was regarded as childish musings and weren’t tolerated.<br><br>When life as a student at Hogwarts began, Addison found herself struggling here, too. She was quite short for her age, gangly in her younger years, prefering to play out in the mud and getting dirt under her nails rather than perfecting beauty spells or chattering about boys. Some of the students thought her small stature would make her an easy target. But the moment they started to push at her, be it with jeers or jinxes, Addison made quick work and proved, repeatedly, that she wasn’t going to allow anyone to walk over her.<br><br>She stood up for the quiet ones and often cared for those who managed to get caught by an unlucky spell: her parent’s early lessons managed to come in handy, since they had been former students themselves.<br><br>The years had their ups and downs, but Addison looked back at all of them quite fondly. The start of her last year was bittersweet, she would have to be making a choice as far as her career was concerned, and while she already had promising leads and connections to get within the ministry, her heart is pulling her in a different direction. One that wouldn’t be tolerated a closed minded and influential family such as hers.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Animals, big and small. Rock climbing. A good thunderstorm. Chocolate frogs. Laughing until no sound comes out and you’re hunched over, hugging your sides. <br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Bullies. People who use other people to get what they want. The idea of getting stuck at a desk job, or following her parent’s direction and growing cold and distant to the world around her. People who wear too much perfume.<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> (I’m going to preface to this that, I know in Iceland the last names take after the parents, such as Signesdautter and such, but for simplicity, I’m just going to use ‘Snow’ as the primary.)<br><br>Signe Snow / Mother / Muggle Affairs / 49 / Pure Blood<br>Torgeir Snow / Father / Auror / 52 / Pure Blood<br>Leif Snow / Grandfather (Father’s side) / Auror/ 83 / Pureblood<br>Hilde Snow / Grandmother (Father’s side) / Dragon Keeper / 82 / Pureblood<br>Erik Redsson/ Grandfather (Mother’s side) / Ministry of Magic - Department of International Magical Cooperation / Deceased / Pureblood<br>Siga Redsson/ Grandmother (Mother’s side) / Ministry of Magic - Internal Affairs / 87 / Pureblood <br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong><br><em>Charms</em> -&nbsp; O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> -&nbsp; O<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>Astronomy</em> - E<br><em>Divination</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic</em> - E<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - A<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><br><em>Charms -</em> O<br><em>Transfiguration -</em> E<br><em>Herbology</em> -&nbsp; O<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Pet:</strong> Fez, the ferret.

He has an athletic build to his body structure and weighs one hundred and sixty-one pounds. His hair and eyes take on the same color as dark brown and he has a caucasian ethnicity. His most distinctive feature happens to be his heavy jawline and charming smile.<br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Charming | Intelligent | Quick-Witted | Blunt | Emotional <sup>__</sup> It is without a doubt that Elias is quite charming and most people find him to be more charming than his younger brother. Whenever Elias enters a room, most people swear that it lights up for a moment and people stop to take notice. His aura usually captures people's attention instantly and makes me people gravitate towards him. Even though he is charming most of the time, he is quite blunt towards most people but only the people who are jerks or assholes. Other than that, he's quite kind to everyone until you have proven him otherwise.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> When his parents had just turned the age of twenty-two, they considered the options of having children and succeeded. Nine months and a week later than Myria's scheduled due date, she went into labor late at night and gave birth to not one baby boy but two. Unfortunately, Myria had a few complications during the process and passed away from them. Elias remembers nothing about the event but when he was old enough, his father explained everything to him and even made sure that he protected them from the true evils that lie within the wizarding world and even muggles. Their father was very protective of him and hardly allowed him to have a childhood because of the dangers.<br><br>He and his brother, Elliott, hardly ever got along growing up. They were and still are complete opposites from one another. They fought constantly, sometimes with magic and other times without but it was always their father or one of their grandfather's that had to separate them. Edward always made them kiss and make up but usually did not last long as they went back to fighting probably like a minute or two later. Their sibling rivalry, which was created by Elliott mostly, since exists this day but has seized to only tossing words back and forth. They might place a spell or two on each other but that's about it. <br><br>At Durmstrang, Elias mostly excelled in Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions and the History of Magic. While there, he has learned so much about the very secretive institute and has made sure not to mention what happens there to anyone. Durmstrang is not really as dark as people may think as there is some light to it. Only a minimum amount though.&nbsp; Elias has heard the word about some students traveling to Hogwarts in the near future for the Triwizard Tournament and thought about signing up himself but his younger has already beaten him to the punch. So, Elias will just travel along for moral support to make sure he keeps his head in the game.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> ✔ Flirting ✔ Cuddling ✔ Cigarettes ✔ Intelligent people ✔ Burgers ✔ Bold ✔<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> ✘ His brother, Elliott (they're complete opposites) ✘ Clingy people ✘ Dishonesty ✘ Losing people close to him ✘ Bullies ✘<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br>Biological Father | Edward Johannson | Owner of Johannson's Pub | Forty-six | Pureblood <br>Biological Mother | Myria Johannson | Deceased <sup>__</sup> Passed away during childbirth |&nbsp; Pureblood<br>Biological Twin Brother | Elliott Johannson | Student <sup>__</sup> Durmstrang | Twenty-two | Pureblood<br>Paternal Grandmother | Elle Johannson | Deceased <sup>__</sup> Passed away from a heart attack | Pureblood<br>Paternal Grandfather | Oliver Johannson | Banker | Seventy-one | Pureblood<br>Maternal Grandmother | Patricia Karlsson | Writer | Fifty-eight | Pureblood<br>Maternal Grandfather | Andrew Karlsson | Retired Wandmaker | Sixty-three | Pureblood<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</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>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - O<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - A<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A <br><em>Divination</em> - E<br><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - E<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - P<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</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>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - A<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A <br><em>Divination</em> - E<br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Pet:</strong>&nbsp; Dante (https://gephardtdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/boa.jpg) <br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Charlie Carver<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/onsoffs.php)<br><br><hr><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Introductory Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><div class="floatright">(https://akns-images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/2016011/rs_1024x759-160111145945-1024.charlie-carver.cm.11116.jpg?fit=inside|900:auto&amp;output-quality=90)</div><br><strong>Name:</strong> Elliott Oliver Johannson <br>Eli or Oli are acceptable nicknames, do not call him EJ<br><br><strong>Age:</strong> Twenty-two<br><br><strong>Birth Date:</strong> October 2nd, 1996<br><br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Bisexual <sup>__</sup> Likes females mostly; Biromantic<br><br><strong>Blood Status:</strong> Pureblood<br><br><strong>Birthplace:</strong> Stockholm, Sweden<br><br><strong>School:</strong> Durmstrang<br><br><strong>Year:</strong> Sixth<br><br><strong>Wand Length | Wood | Core:</strong> 9" | Dogwood | Dragonheartstring <br><br><strong>Patronus:</strong> Black Bear<br><br><strong>Apparation License:</strong> No<br><br><br><br><div align="center">(http://www.clintongaughran.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/carver5.jpg) (http://img.charahub.com/c1091021_49bfe8f7555150e4a3945811f918ea75.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/236x/06/71/3b/06713b210de14c5c98ce4c8af0590d89--max-carver-carver-twins.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/236x/82/57/62/82576253d86f9d658354f0532eba5f4a--carver-twins-max-carver.jpg)<br><br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Personal Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Physical Features:</strong> The only thing that makes his appearance different from his twin brother, Elias, is his height.

His ethnicity is also Caucasian. His most distinctive features are his jawline and his nose. He has this (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQKSEMNgWBjzi0GYMRVfjZ7PgppQpfh0PdOYvaPLxHSCihQflcU) tattooed across his upper back.<br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Tactful | Charming | Romantic | Overprotective | Self-indulgent <sup>__</sup> Just like his brother, he is also charming, which has been considered a natural thing among them both. Many people termed it the 'Double E Charm'. Most people get him confused by calling him cunning but he is not that way whatsoever. He's just very tactful at reading other people's emotions, which he sometimes likes to toy with. He's also spent most of his money that he has ever received spending it on unnecessary luxuries for himself. He's mostly overprotective of Elias, his twin brother, more than anyone else because that's how his father raised them.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Many people wonder how are him and Elias twins but were birthed on separate days. Well, his mother went into labor very late at night and very close to midnight. His brother was born before him at approximately ten minutes before midnight and then along came him. It was about a couple of years later that his father told him alongside his brother about the death of their mother. Some complications with both of their births happened and that was all that his father knew and told them. Since their birth, their father has always kept a close eye on them and protected them from anything that could potentially harm them. They were kept inside of their home for most of their childhood and studied magic that their father knew and taught them.<br><br>Being inside and only around his brother mostly, Elliott was the one that sparked the sibling rivalry between them. He did little things towards his brother just to entice him and boy, did he ever entice him. Elliott and Elias became embroiled in many, many fights that sometimes involved careless magic and punches. Their father had to break them apart on numerous occasions and so did their grandfathers. During this time, they were becoming much hone to their wizarding abilities and even started to attend Durmstrang.<br><br>At Durmstrang, he and his brother sort of fell apart from each other. While they were in some of the same classes, they hardly ever speak to one another and usually don't even act as if they are brothers. Elliott always keeps a close eye on Elias though, no matter if he is angry or upset with him. He excels in Herbology, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures, Astronomy, and History of Magic. The institute still remains a mystery to people and that's the way they like it. Elliott has even become a bit too engulfed into the Dark Arts but has not mentioned it to Elias. <br><br>There has been a buzz of the Triwizard Tournament happening at Hogwarts in the near future and Elliott has mentioned his interest. Elliott knows that Elias wanted to join into the fray but for his own safety and well-being, Elliott took the bait and decided to sign up instead. He has no earthly idea of what he's getting himself into but knows he can manage whatever is thrown at him.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> ✔ Luxury items ✔ His brother, Elias ✔ Chocolate ✔ Flirting ✔ Sex ✔ Determined ✔<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> ✘ Losing his brother ✘ His father ✘ Body Odor ✘ Quidditch ✘ Authority figures ✘<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br>Biological Father | Edward Johannson | Owner of Johannson's Pub | Forty-six | Pureblood <br>Biological Mother | Myria Johannson | Deceased <sup>__</sup> Passed away during childbirth |&nbsp; Pureblood<br>Biological Twin Brother | Elliott Johannson | Student <sup>__</sup> Durmstrang | Twenty-two | Pureblood<br>Paternal Grandmother | Elle Johannson | Deceased <sup>__</sup> Passed away from a heart attack | Pureblood<br>Paternal Grandfather | Oliver Johannson | Banker | Seventy-one | Pureblood<br>Maternal Grandmother | Patricia Karlsson | Writer | Fifty-eight | Pureblood<br>Maternal Grandfather | Andrew Karlsson | Retired Wandmaker | Sixty-three | Pureblood<br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - A <br><em>Herbology</em> - O<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - A<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>Astronomy</em> - O<br><em>Divination</em> - E<br><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - E<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - A<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong><br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> - O<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>Astronomy</em> - O<br><em>Divination</em> - E<br><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - E<br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Pet:</strong> Monte (http://a4.pbase.com/g9/15/915115/2/112719837.8ECAPNdL.jpg)<br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Max Carver<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/onsoffs.php)</div></div>

Aphenia Morey was a beautiful woman and loved her husband and daughter dearly. It was a devastating blow to the family when she died but Nemesis was there for her father as best she could be. She struggled at the time through her OWLS at the Primary Wizarding Academy and promised herself and her mother’s soul that she would do better for her NEWTs. She did excel at them, studying hard and often into the small hours of a morning.&nbsp; <br><br>The year she began at Hogwarts University however her father remarried. She still barely speaks to him as a result, feeling that he has betrayed the memory of her mother greatly. As lovely as Chyron seems to be, Nemesis refuses to get to know the woman or befriend her in any way. Seeing her attempts as simply ways of trying to move in as her mother. Of course Chyron didn't come alone to the family, she brought with her a daughter, Belladonna. Nemesis wants to like the girl but can't get past what she sees as her fathers betrayal of her mother's memory.<br><br>She has always loved school, even more so University life now as she tries to stay well away from her father and her stepmother. Excelling at Charms and potions, Nemesis is determined to perfect her wordless magic. She doesn’t believe in wandless magic as she strongly feels that her wand is part of who she is. As much as she will look forward to the TWT, she is dreading that it is also the year that Belladonna will be starting at the University.<br><br>Nemesis has dated a few times, boys and girls but none that really touched her heart in any lasting way. Thanks to her father’s remarrying, she no longer believes that there is a special 'someone' out there for anyone and that true love is simply the biggest fairy tale ever told.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> long walks, fresh air, calm people, like minded people, reading, charms, potions and transfiguration.<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> argumentative people, know-it-alls, Harry Potter wannabe’s, pointless feuds, history repeating itself, her step-mother.<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><br>Mother: Aphenia Morey – deceased<br>Father: Draven Tempest – half blood / broom maker at the Nimbus company<br>Stepmother: Chyron Tempest (nee Grimm) – pureblood - Healer at St. Mungos<br>Sister: Belladonna Grimm (has refused to take on the Tempest surname) - starting her first year of Hogwarts University<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> -E<br><em>Herbology</em> - A<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> -A<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> -E<br><em>Potions</em> -E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> -A<br><em>Astronomy</em> -A<br><em>Divination</em> -P<br><em>History of Magic</em> -A<br><em>Arithmancy</em> -A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> -P<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> – O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> –E<br><em>Potions</em> –O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> –A<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> Morey – black barn owl (https://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01079/earth-graphics-200_1079617a.jpg) <br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Katherine McNamara<br><strong>O/O's:</strong>&nbsp; Here (https://elliquiy.com/wiki/User:Kendra)</div></div>

She makes friends quite easily as people are often drawn to her quirky nature and her honesty. <br><strong>Brief History:</strong> <br><br>Belladonna’s parents steadily grew apart as her father Amadeus worked more and more in Europe among the magical beasts he loved so much. Belladonna got her love for creatures from him and never once blamed him for the breakup of her family. Even at a young age, she understood about duty. She was ten when they finally separated much to the disgust of the rest of the Grimm and Prewett family. <br><br>Belladonna enjoyed the time spent attending her primary school, she stayed with her mother during the school terms and with her father on her holidays. <br>Her father being a Medi-MagiZoologist (MMZ) introduced her to many strange and wonderful creatures. As much as she loves her mother, what she could not stand at first was her mother starting to date again. It never bothered her that the man wasn’t a pureblood, to Belladonna those days of prejudice was gone or should be, but she had secretly hoped that her parents would get back together again.<br><br>Her mother Chyron married Draven Tempest when Belladonna was fifteen but by then she had come to see how happy Draven made her mother. She genuinely wished them both well and thought that she might actually even get on with her new stepsister but Nemesis always seems to behave as if Belladonna is her enemy instead of a potential friend.

Often shaved, sometimes lets it grow to short length. When there's less light in his eyes, they are dark grayish as gunmetal blue. When there's light in his eyes, they are sky blue. Bearded, scruffy. Rugby jock type, thick but slim. Tattooed one whole sleeve and a ribboned cross on one pec. Flowers, flames, snakes, feathered wings, some obscure writing. A small sun on his back. He looks depressed, cantankerous, and caffeinated. Resting scowling face.<br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Sebastian Ryan is as shallow and thick-skulled as you would expect from a fuckboi. He has the strangest struggle with appeasing his seemingly starved soul. He is Spartan in a subtle slow-burning way, more interested in rising to challenges and playing games than anything. Pushes himself to the limits. Obsesses over his body, often found peering and poring over hard-to-reach places. He does not really care for weakness, his or anyone else's. Has his passport ready. If his girls wanted him to bareback raw, he'd remind them if they get pregnant, he will never father their children. Same for guys, but that goes without saying. He will listen to his partners rant and cry, and he would be there, naked at their side, nodding, and then tell them he has to go start his day. He is ambitious. Seems to accept it as going through the motions. He expects others to fight him or attempt to put him in his place, and this easily bores him, making his eyes glaze over to something else. Greener pastures. With hotter dudes and babes, waving and calling him over. Sebastian is careful with what he says. Sometimes omitting the truth, leaving thoughts unsaid.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> His mother Clairmonde Winter was a Russian global architect who attended the Australian Quidditch games and sparked a hot and quick affair with a player, his father Jude Ryan. Jude knocked Clairmonde up before they tried to make it work as a marriage and parent Sebastian on their crazy schedules. They got in vicious fights up to their divorce, and they had joint custody of their son, passing back and forth every other year until Sebastian was old enough to enroll to a wizarding school. <br><br>As Durmstrang alumni, Clairmonde made the decision. Being Australian and an enthusiast of Quidditch and his father, Sebastian had a hard time getting accustomed to the dark and fiery institute. Winters were harsh and gothic, but the summers were glorious and perfect for flying. Sebastian continued to university level, poured himself into his studies, in rough body contact sports, in serving and protecting Durmstrang when he's not having fun. He got in trouble with many classmates yelling at him sometimes all at once asking if what they had meant nothing. In the summers, he shone his best, playing for the Australian Quidditch team with his father, making them an instant gimmick and trend: Senior and Junior. Sometimes visits the Muggles in his family.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Flying brooms or magical creatures. Dueling using or countering Dark Arts. Adrenaline junkie. Sex, no strings attached. Prefers the dark, gothic Durmstrang environment. It is bittersweet, draconic, and right at home. Infatuation. Naughtiness. Play, play, play! More alive and nocturnal at night. Porn. Bathhouses. Quickies. Enjoys being around stimulating, thought-provoking people who share the same free and loving spirit. Will be shocked but amused if someone acts like a friend.<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Losers, weakness, limits. Nothing against Hogwarts or Beaubaxtons, but some of their colors or smells or perhaps it's just too much pale light making him sneeze with annoyance or shiver all creeped out. People who say he owes them things or words. Reading or repetitive work. Does not really enjoy the sleepy daytime. He has an irrational fear of ghosts, Dementors, and the paranormal. He fears never being happy. He does not know how long he has left before his depression takes control.<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><br>Mother | Clarimonde Winter (Divorced) | Global Architect | 50 | Half-Blood <br>Father | Jude Ryan (Divorced) | Australian Quidditch Player | 42 | Half-Blood<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> - A<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - A<br><em>Potions</em> - A<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>Divination</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic</em> - E<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - E<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> Not applicable. <br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Nick Youngquest.<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> See siggy.<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> Dueling Club.

She has dirty blonde hair that she wears either long or short depending on her mood, olive green eyes, milky pale skin and a slight sprinkling of beauty marks along her cheeks, neck and back. <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Perfectionist | Nurturing | Neat | Romantic | Trustworthy | Compassionate | Conscientious | Self-sacrificing | Anal retentive <br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Juliette grew up rarely knowing what the day would bring. During her childhood, she quickly realized that it was not how she preferred to live. Some evenings, her father wouldn't be home in time for dinner, let alone to help tuck her into her bed, because of an unpredictable schedule at his job in the French Ministry. Oftentimes, her mother would be busy tutoring students or spending time with other mothers from the neighborhood, so she spent a great deal of time being babysat by her grandparents. On her mother's side, her grandparents were very loving and kind. She taught Juliette to knit and he taught Juliette how to sew. Both magically and without magic. On her father's side, her grandparents were very cautious and careful. They taught her the importance of having a plan for her life and made sure she knew how to keep safe and sound. <br><br>Perhaps those two very different sides of her family were contradictory, but they meshed in a way that settled with Juliette and helped to mold her into the woman she is today. She has an endless amount of kindness to give to others, an ear that is always open to listening and advice that she is always willing to share. She often puts herself last when others need her for one thing or another. Sometimes this leads to her own anxiety and she feels like a corked bottle that refuses to open despite desperately needing to.

This was because her father wanted nothing to do with her. At least, that was what she grew up assuming. Her mother hated to discuss him, even though Audrey was a curious child and asked many questions throughout the years. Whenever the subject came up, Audrey's mother would shift uncomfortably, and respond coldly about how it wasn't worth discussing. And, it turned out that she was right. Even though Audrey went back and forth about wanting to meet her father as a child, when she reached her teen years, she realized that if he didn't want her in his life, then she didn't want him in hers.<br><br>Audrey didn't know a thing about magic, and neither did her family. Her mother and aunt - who, despite their literal distance were actually pretty close - knew nothing about magic, either. It wasn't until one summer when Audrey was visiting her aunt in England with her mother, and someone tried to steal her purse. She, without meaning to, caused that person to float upside down, making her purse fall to the ground. It was inexplicable, but later they would find out when someone was sent from the Ministry to explain magic and the wizarding world to her, so that she could decide between attending Ilvermorny or Hogwarts. <br><br>Audrey decided that Hogwarts was the school for her because when she had her cat choose between an H shaped tread and an I shaped tread, he went for the H. Also, Hogwarts was called Hoggies for short. Now, she's in her fourth year and feels just as out of place as she ever did. But, that's gloriously fitting, all the same. She will need to determine a new method of having her cat decide for her, whether or not she'll enter her name into the goblet of fire for the Triwizard Tournament. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Animals (believes that people don't deserve pets... but has one) | Saying British slang in her dry, American accent | Letting her freak flag fly | Alcohol <br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> When a lot is expected of her | Situations where it's inappropriate to laugh or joke | Daddy issues<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><br>Father | Unknown | Muggle<br>Mother | Annemarie Thorup | Salon owner | 45 | Muggle<br>Aunt | Maryellen Thorup | High school teacher | 46 | Muggle<br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</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>Ancient Runes</em> - O<br><em>Potions</em> - A<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - A<br><em>Astronomy</em> - O<br><em>Divination</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - O<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> Chubz (https://cdn3-www.cattime.com/assets/uploads/gallery/british-shorthair-cats-and-kittens/british-shorthair-cats-and-kittens-7.jpg)<br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Aubrey Plaza<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=156601.0)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> Audrey has an American accent, though there is no real dialect detectable from her speech.

Solid black clothing with clean cut lines and well fitted. He doesn't paint his face up with greasepaint, as he finds that messy. He instead just dusts with a translucent powder to soften the look of his skin, puts on a ring of eye liner, and adds a top and bottom point to his left eye. Beyond a very thin layer of black lipstick with a bit of red under it, Gamon doesn't do more than that.<br><br>While Gamon can appreciate the artwork of tattoos, he finds most of them to be unnecessary and messy. If it's not part of a overall piece, he doesn't see a point in random tattoos. Nor does he have any of his own, because he finds his skin too nice to cover up that way. He does have a small, gold hoop earring in his left ear.<br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> <br>Positives: <ul class="bbc_list"><li>Sees art everywhere.</li><li>Will always greet someone he meets with a compliment about them.</li><li>Knows what he wants and goes for it.</li></ul><br>Negatives: <ul class="bbc_list"><li>A bit elitist.</li><li>Tends to talk behind people's backs.</li><li>His face tends to betray his words.</li></ul><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> <br><br>When Alexandre met the beautiful white blond woman named Madeleine while she was touring the Chateau de Beynac, he had no idea what he was getting himself into. She was enchanting and graceful. He never thought a woman like that would give him a second look, but she did. It wasn't that he was an unattractive man, but he thought her a better class of woman than he was capable of getting. Yet the graceful woman stayed behind after the tour to talk with him.<br><br>They were married, against their family wishes, a week later. Revealing to her husband that she was a witch was a stressful situation and nearly tore their short term marriage apart. Somehow, they managed through it.<br><br>Being born in Beynac-et-Cazenac suited Gamon just fine. It was listed as one of the most beautiful villages in the country and he would rather be born there than the over crowded, messy, loud streets of somewhere like Paris. Settled on the banks of the River Dordogne, filled with beautiful white stone houses, dotted with large trees poking out of the hill, and the with the most well maintained of the remaining French fortresses, <em>Chateau de Beynac</em>, Gamon took it all in as a child. The village had a small natural population and tourists tended to be on the upper class side of things, Gamon was pampered. For a time, he was the only child of his age in the village that lived there and people spoiled him. <br><br>He ate all the freshly made food he wanted on beautiful shaded terraces. He was given lovely jewelry made of enamel on copper by his mother. He was gifted all sorts of trinkets made of smooth, beautiful river stones by other shop owners who couldn't say no to his pretty face. He got hand made perfumes from the little boutiques and people were happy to dress him up in the expensive clothing they sold off to tourists for free.<br><br>Madeleine was happy to spoil her white blond haired son and Alexandre was happy to let his wife do it. <br><br>Home-schooled until his magic flourish and he was old enough to be sent to Beauxbatons, Gamon didn't have much interaction with others his own age. It was a difficult adjustment and one that his mother and father feel 'soured' him. He became a little more spiteful and started pointing out things he found to be unpleasing in a rude way. He became more hyper focused on the aspect of art and beauty, possibly as a way to push others away. If he couldn't find other people beautiful, then he never had to let them get close to him. <br><br>In an effort to push their son back toward socializing, they started using his love of beautiful things to point out fashion and make up and the like. Gamon took to it. They were surprised when he leaned more towards the gothic look he found online, but it seemed to help shape him more as a person. He once told his mother he preferred solid black and slightly odd makeup, because then no matter how beautiful the people around him were, people would always look at him. It wasn't what she wanted to hear from him, but she knew she could only push him so far.<br><br>In the end, Gamon found his place. He knows he isn't well liked by many, but he also doesn't really care. He'll talk to anyone, even if only just to be able to gossip about them to the few friends he does have. Enjoying travel, Gamon will do anything that allows him to get out of the country once in a while.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> <ul class="bbc_list"><li>Beautiful things.</li><li>Nature.</li><li>Good wine.</li><li>Doing other people's makeup.</li><li>Gamon has unwavering confidence.</li><li>Gamon knows who he is and doesn't apologize for it.

She stands a head taller than most girls and also big boned, giving her a generally soft, round appearance. Her breasts are large and though she knows she is not what society deems ‘beautiful,’ Eliza still dresses and carries herself with confidence. Sometime she dresses stylishly, other times more outlandishly, but always at her whim and done without apology.<br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Humorous | Forward | Crass | Honest | Confident | Understanding | Loyal | Upbeat<br><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Humourous:</strong> She is not afraid to play the clown or be seen with toilet paper stuck on her shoe, and often uses humor to keep the cruel world under her control instead of being bullied by it. </li><li><strong>Forward:</strong> Eliza will flirt with anyone that she thinks is pretty -- which is just about everyone.

She accepted long ago that she was never going to be conventionally beautiful, that people would <em>always</em> make fun of her size, and so what was the point in getting so upset?

She has a generally positive outlook on life, despite how mean people have and sometimes continue to be in regards to her larger-than-life personality.</li></ul><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Eliza was born in Perth, Australia as the only child of Sheila and Charles Campbell. Sheila worked as a magizooligist for the Australian Ministry of Magic while Charles, a Muggle, was an accomplished Muggle zooligist at the Perth Zoo. However, there was never much harmony in the home and after a very lengthy and ugly divorce, the Campbells split when Eliza was 8. Her mother moved to Arizona, USA in order to work more closely with the thriving species of Thunderbirds down there thanks to Newt Scamander’s work in the 20’s. <br><br>Eliza's primary years were then filled with lengthy plane trips back and forth but she took it in stride and eventually made friends in the states that she came to love as much as her friends at home. She went to primary school with Muggles until she could double-enroll at Ilvermorny as well as the Australian School of Magic. It was more difficult to get everything accomplished due to these conflicting schedules and some of her credits didn’t transfer, so Eliza is a year behind in her schooling.<br><br>Three years ago (when Eliza was 18), Eliza discovered that her parents had been seeing each other again and much to her surprise and against her advice, Charles and Sheila remarried. The second marriage started with&nbsp; flowers and chocolates and ended with broken glass and slashed tires. The entire second marriage spanned less than 1.5 years, though everyone in the family can agree that this divorce was much easier than the last.<br><br>However, shortly after the divorce was finalized, Eliza’s father was diagnosed with testicular cancer, and passed within six months. Charles Campbell died near Eliza’s&nbsp; 20th birthday, leaving behind a home full of memories that Eliza and her mother had to deal with. After packing away the precious essentials (photo albums and mementos of great importance to him), they sold the furniture and the house and on her mother’s urging, moved to France to start over. Tired of changing schools, Eliza decided to continue her education at Beauxbatons after making her mother promise not to move again before she graduates since she can’t afford to finish school and rent a flat.<br><br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Men &amp; Women &amp; All Other Gender Expressions | New People | Most Animals | Parties | Laughter | Honesty | Sex | Directness<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Haters | Shamers | Morons | Bats | Sharks | Praying Mantis | Dark Arts <br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Mother | Sheila Campbell | Magizoolist | 44 | Half-Blood</li><li>Father | Charles Campbell | Muggle Zooligist | Deceased | Muggle</li></ul><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - A<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - P<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - A<br><em>Potions</em> - A<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>Astronomy</em> - P<br><em>Divination</em> - E<br><em>History of Magic</em> - P<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> O’s in Care of Magical Creatures and Muggle Studies <br>E’s in Charms, Herbology, and Divination<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> Giselle (https://i.imgur.com/bcP0F0c.png)<br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Rebel Wilson<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> O/O’s (https://elliquiy.com/forums/onsoffs.php?u=52593)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> This is Eliza’s first year at Beauxbatons

Due to his mother's circumstances, Rhys grew up in <br>Canning Town, East London, one of the most deprived areas in the UK. Even from a young age, Rhys lived a tough life, using his street knowledge to get by, sometimes getting beat up, other times beating up others. He fully embraced the chav identity early on, mocking posh kids and middle class lads who thought they were any better. <br><br>He found out he had magical powers when he started playing football and could bent it more than Beckham, at eleven. Soon after, Hogwarts letter came to his house and his mother thought it was a scam at first, but it turned out to be true. Hogwarts helped them out financially with Rhys' supplies and Rosie was ecstatic to learn her son potentially had a future. This only put more pressure on the young Rhys to succeed in the magical world. He spent his teenage years studying magic and spending his summer playing football with his local friends back in London, living two lives, one pretending to be a wizard and the other pretending to be a normal bloke from the East End. He played Quidditch with the magic kind and football with the muggle kind. He caused trouble in Hogwarts and in the Muggle world alike, never developing any form of respect for authority. The only one that could tell him what to do was his mom. <br><br>After graduating, Rhys pursued his studies at the university level of Hogwarts by the insistence of his mother. He continued Quidditch and became a starter in his first year of university, playing for the Gryffindor team as a Chaser. He realized that the only subject he was fairly good at was herbology and is now considering pursuing a career in the field. Entering his sixth year, he hopes to keep on having fun and make a name for himself by entering in the Triwizard tournament, shaging some birds and tasting some glory. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Women, grime music, cigarettes, alcohol, quidditch, football<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Feminism, authority (Ministry, Muggle cops, his parents, Hogwarts staff), France (only the men and the sport teams), Yanks; he has anger management and daddy issues<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br>Father | Unknown<br>Mother | Rosie Morahan (https://celebmafia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/kristen-schaal-fox-fall-2017-premiere-party-in-los-angeles-6.jpg) | Retail | 39 | Muggle<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong><br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - A<br><em>Herbology</em> - O<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - A<br><em>Potions</em> - A<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>Astronomy</em> - D<br><em>Divination</em> - D<br><em>History of Magic</em> - P<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - D<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - A<br><em>Herbology</em> - O<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> None<br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Taron Egerton<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Character specific ONs: Getting sucked off, giving anal, angry and rough sex, against-wall/window, name-calling, multiple partners; OFFs: Dominant women, cunnilingus (he'll do it but hates doing it), pegging, receiving or giving rim job, commitment, hearing the words "I love you"; O&amp;Os (see signature)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> He speaks Multicultural London English (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicultural_London_English) and no other language besides basic words. </div></div>

What she lacks in curves (she has some! they're subtle! look closer), she makes up for in curls. And that face, which contains that cute nose and those awful lips that have been the full and tender ushers of so many pretty lies. She swings for femme fatale and usually misses. The aesthetic is feral kitten in an oversized leather jacket. <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Affably amoral. Would sell you for a nice pair of thigh high boots, because she values your friendship and she loves you almost as much as she loves quality leather goods. Dumpster dive for your life. She'll take style over substance any day of the week and, at the same time, can be unwittingly genuine about her own emotions because...Contradictions are fun. Always moving. Not as clever or as cunning as she thinks she is, but still pretty clever and cunning. Will take because she wants and do because she wants to, which can be interpreted as an inherent immaturity and immorality or an inherent drive to live in the moment, but it's most likely all of the above. Niffler spirit animal. (https://gifimage.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/niffler-gif-13.gif) <br><br>She's partially invested in higher education because it takes her away from old familiar and her family, she wants to indulge her morbid curiosity, and she's unsure of her career path. Charlatan? Burglar? Honey Pot? Saboteur? And then, of course, there's always the charming option to run away and join a circus. She is, after all, bendy enough for it. One of Babs's favorite lies is that her last name, Velez, is in honor of not too distant Veela heritage. On her father's immaculate side, when she feels daring and spiteful. On her mother's, when she feels less so. The difference between long term and short term relationships is how long she waits before she starts stealing from them. Reads rules so she can break them. Talented at running away from (and growing bored of) the problem she created. <br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Her parents were in love. Him from a conservative, commendable, and only coincidentally pure blooded family. Her born from the union of Pure Blood trash and Muggle trash come together. In love and dysfunction. The only way she knew how, so of course, she flit to her tight strung lover like moths to flames and aristocrats to guillotines. But somehow, it worked. <em>They</em> worked. Until Babette crashed the party. Uninvited, as she'd one day be known to do. He was young, and scared, but so was her mother. So she always found hard to figure him. <br><br>Her father demanded that they, <em>"Send it back."</em> By charm, by muggle contraption. He didn't care. Maybe he regretted his words once they'd been spoken. Babette would never know because before he could finish his last sentence, her mother shook off shock and howled. Her vulgarities were deafening and flawless, even as she separated far, far away from him. He sent a letter and she sent it straight to the fire. The rest is history. <br><br>Babette didn't learn her father's name until she was almost a woman and she'd just as well forget it. <em>Raphael,</em> she chewed, and then spat it out. She didn't need a father. She barely needed, or had, a mother. Her mother, Noemi, had done what she was supposed to and, in the grand Velez tradition, owed nothing more to her daughter. Cousins considered Babette spoiled, because her mother let her come home on breaks (even if, most times, there was no home or mother waiting there for her at all), and waited until she was fourteen to demand she pay her way. That might be way Babette sneered her mother's name with so little bile. And considered her with a good amount of fondness mixed into the resentment and dread. <br><br>As Noemi would remind her, "I didn't <em>have</em> to have you, you know. Just ask your father. Oh, right." <br><br><em>(Though Noemi insisted otherwise, Babette had begun to believe that it was not so much a mother's love and morality that had driven Noemi to fury. But rather the disappointing realization that the father of her child, and all his family money, wanted nothing to do with them.)</em><br><br>Babette ran away from home and school a combined total of seven times. There would've been an eighth, but by then, the tournament had been announced and she'd decided she was in sore need of a vacation. From school, from normal, and from family, most of all. Her clan was all shadowed gazes and slick fingers. Desperation hung around their shoulders and she feared that it floated over her own head, right alongside all that greed and hunger. She was sick of it. There was only room for one crook and that was <em>her.</em><br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Coins, jewelry and shinies, pulling the wool over someone's eyes, getting what she wants, parties and revelry, variety, animals and magical beasts, <em>fun,</em> chaos and discord, pastries and sweets, stealthily helping someone out and thereby preserving her reputation as a Bad Bitch, dancing, being called cute, doing things <em>suggestively</em>, creepy crawlies, sneaking up on people and surprising them and creeping them out, like minds as long as they don't screw <em>her</em> over, <strong>inappropriate</strong> laughter.<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Scarcity, silence, anyone who thinks they're better than her, being outsmarted and/or outsnuck, being left behind, pain, boredom, things that don't benefit her, law and order, responsibilities, being called cute, doing what she should do rather than what she wants to do, other people being selfish at her expense, scumbag competition, pretending she can't speak English (or French, or Spanish; whatever language she's being scolded in, unless of course she actually <em>can't</em> speak it.).<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><br>Mother | Noemi Velez&nbsp; | Extortionist | 39 | Half Blood.<br>Father | Raphael Deschamps&nbsp; | Unspeakable | 37 | Pure Blood.<br>Father's Wife | Danielle Deschamps&nbsp; | Unspeakable | 32 | Pure Blood.<br>Half Sister | Cosette Deschamps&nbsp; | Beauxbatons Student | 11 | Pure Blood.<br>&nbsp;</div><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - A<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - O<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>Divination</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic</em> - P<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - D<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><em>Transfiguration</em> - O<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - E<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> Truffle Velez (http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/41500000/cute-black-kittens-kittens-41556715-960-960.jpg) who she would kill you all and then herself for. <br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Luz Pavon.<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Ons &amp; Offs.

Her deep blue eyes that always speak of the emotions she tries to hide. The fact that her hands are normally stained with some sort of art medium because she is always sketching. Her vibrant red hair, and quirky sense of style.<br><br>Slender in build Hayley doesn't have the most supple curves, but she has what one would call "legs that go on for days." And eyes that seem to have the gift of seeing who you really arm. And though shy most of the time when Hayley warms up to someone her smile an energy can light up a room. <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Hayley is quite comfortable with her wallflower way of being. She honestly hates being the center of attention. Manly because it almost never goes well for her. She'd rather lose herself to her books and her art. She is shy but tends to warm up quickly when treated kindly. When slighted, she tends to forgive, but eventually, when pushed too far she will cut a person out of her life. In truth, Hayley is almost typical when it comes to the brilliant nerd girl that doesn't always fit in. But for someone that takes the time to really get to know her, they find much more.<br><br>Hayley has a brilliant and creative mind; one that will one day take her to a great many places. She is compassionate and understanding most of the time. And she understands that school is not the end for her, and all she has to do is survive. Granted that means not only surviving her peers but also her parents and the insane amount of pressure they put on her to excel in her studies. Boys, parties, her art or anything she desires beyond their plans is ignored or denied to her. So she finds herself unsure when forced to face those sorts of things.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Hayley parents met during their younger years in school. It was love, young passionate and uncontrollable love. And even with her mother's parents strictly forbidding it she attempted to run away and elope with him. Granted they did so with fake ids when they were just teenagers. The pair tried to make a go of it, especially when her mother became pregnant. But life quickly fell apart for the young couple. And not soon after Hayley was born her mother left her and her would be husband behind to return to her family and the comforts their wealth provided.<br><br>It was hard and Nate felt betrayed and overwhelmed, but he had someone depending on him. And despite his young age, Nate made the decision to keep Hayley. With help from his family, he managed to go to school and take care of her. It was hard being away from her when he was at Hogwarts but he wanted to give her the best life he could. And despite the struggle, he managed to let her know she was loved and to encourage her artistic leanings.<br><br>Her mother reappeared in her life only after remarrying a man that was striving to gain an office in the muggle world. And he couldn't have his new beautiful wife's past transgressions making him look bad. So her mother reappeared to make sure that Hayley didn't cause trouble. She still remembers that day, the day her own mother made her feel worthless for the first time. At first, Hayley wanted to believe she had returned to be a part of her life. Instead, she had come to make sure her existence stayed buried. Needless to say, Hayley's father didn't take it well. The argument didn't end well, but even if it hadn't Hayley had already decided to never speak to the woman again. Her mother had gotten a new family. Fine let her have them, Hayley was happy with her family just the way it was.<br><br>Hayley did well at school but retained her shy nature. But at her core, she is a beautiful artistic soul, and bolder then she knows. Now if only she could believe in that. She has learned to express herself in one way, though. She combined different charms in such a way that it made it possible to transfer her art onto the various walls around the school. The work was inevitably taken down, but students always looked forward to the next time M would decorate the school walls. No one may know who she was, but in some small way, Hayley had managed to find a strange confidence.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Art, studying, swimming, transfiguration, charms!(excels beyond her years), observation, gaming, driving - mechanically inclined (both do to fathers shop), drawing/painting, Old Movies, learning knew things,&nbsp; Awkwardly dancing to her favorite music when she thinks no one is looking, reading, graphic novels, writing, chocolate, totally unexpected from her but cars, driving and going fast, drifting, <br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Failing in general, the dear of ending up stuck in the same town all her life, Bullies, Snobs, being toyed with, sour candy, liars, heights, ever the wall flower<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><br>Suzy Michelson | Grandmother | 62 | retired teacher | Muggle<br><br>Brison Michelson | Grandfather | 66 | owns a custom car shop | halfblood<br><br>Nate Michelson | Father | Works in his fathers business as one of the most known designers | 37 | Halfblood<br><br>Tony Michelson | Uncle | Mechanic | 39 | Halfblood<br><br>Becky Michelson | Aunt | Nurse | 35 | Halfblood<br><br>Sara Devaro | Mother | Socialite | 36 | Pureblood<br><br>Peter Devaro | Step-father | Politician | 44 | Pureblood<br><br>Alex Devaro | Step-brother | Student | 21 | Pureblood<br><br>Markus Devaro | Step-brother | Student | 18 | Pureblood<br><br>Jackson Devaro | Step-grandfather | Surpreim Court Judge | 63 | Pureblood<br><br>Debbie Devaro | Step-Grandmother | Head of a charity | 60 | Pureblood<br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong><br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - O<br><em>Herbology</em> - D<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - A<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - A<br><em>Astronomy</em> - E<br><em>Divination</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - O<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Astronomy</em> - E<br><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> (https://media.mnn.com/assets/images/2014/11/01-zeus-starry-eyed-screech-owl.jpg)<br>MOONPIE!<br><br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Ebba Zingmark<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=22100.msg859410#msg859410)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> No one knows this, but Hayley is the artist known as Monet.

If her hair doesn't have her standiing out in the crowd her style does. Never one to wear pastels, a tomboy at times for sure, sexy at times as well. But always 100 % her no matter the look she decides to go for in that moment.<br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> <br>Rebellious and Reckless: Since learning the truth of the world Joanna's mentality as shifted from the shy, well mannered, ever obedient daughter of God, to the wild child who knows there is no real judge beyond the courts of man. So why hold back, why pretend to behave because of some big man in the sky? Live, love as often as you can, drink, and grab life by the horns. And remember it isn't illegal if you don't get caught. Joanna spent far too much of her life resisting the urges that she was always told would send her to hell. Now believing there is no such thing, Joanna does whatever she wants. Drinking, drugs, sex, all to amounts that most wouldn't dare to cross. Caution thrown to the wind, it’s time to hold life by the horns and hold on for one hell of a ride.<br><br>Amoral: No regrets, it’s a saying that Joanna now lives by. She used to worry about everything she did, felt guilty for ever wrongdoing, ashamed for the cravings she had, and scared to hate the people that turned her into the poor little church mouse. Well fuck them, fuck quilt, time to only feel the good in life.<br><br>Hungry: Now some may wonder what this could mean. But since finding out that there is so much more to the world, that men can become what simple people believe to be gods. Why not learn all you can and gain what power you can for yourself. This need to learn more drives, Joanna, to be a much better student than most would expect from her. They see a wild girl meant to fail when in truth there is an intelligent woman all too ready to learn everything this new world has to offer. She is hungry for knowladge, hungry for freedom, and all to ready to devour the world offered to her.<br><br>Hedonistic: As you can probably see by now, Joanna is a girl that loves to feel good. After all, she spent most of her life as nothing but a cowering sinful girl, punished by her father’s hand, and prepared for gods true purpose by her mother’s words. Well, they never expected what would happen, and now that she is free to be who she wants, Joanna does just that. Yes, Sir, I'll take some more.... &gt;:)<br><br>Loyal: Joanna found out a lot when magic entered her life, and there are a great many things that have changed about her. But one thing still rings true; when you become part of her circle she's loyal till the end. Don't fuck with her people, because she isn't afraid to back them up and hex your ass.<br><br>Witty: Once she was a quite almost mousy sweet girl, now that smartass is free. Never one to be short on something to say. He quick-witted words tend to show there is more ticking behind those icy blue eyes, much more then she tends to reveal.<br><br>Individuality: Joanna used to be one of many, same hair, same dress, same beliefs and attitude, just another faith drowned robot, but then she broke free and even if it took time Joanna has found a voice of her own. Her looks, her style, her beliefs, and destiny are now all hers and hers alone and she isn't afraid to show it.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> <br>Joanna Zipporah Batherson was the name given to the baby that was adopted into a muggle family devoted to the church. No one knew anything about where she came from, but at the beginning that didn't matter. Her adoptive father and grandfather were both priests within the Catholic church that practically overshadowed their town, or so it seemed to the young girl that grew up there. Her father's attitude was that of an extremist when it came to his faith. Needless to say, Joanna grew up in a very strict household.<br><br>She grew up feeling the fear of god overseeing all her actions, as well as shame for her body and the way it was changing. The school was, of course, a private all-girls school that kept a strict eye on the daughter of the local Priesthood. Joanna would attempt to push against the restrictions set upon her but found herself strictly punished for it.<br><br>Her father was quick to anger when he felt she had sinned. No one saw though, not being able to believe that a man of the cloth could be so abusive to his own family. But there were days Joanna still wakes up shaking in fear of him dragging her from her bed for one reason or another. And though Joanna endured a great deal of abuse, she had moments that she enjoyed. Singing in the choir and sketching when she had the time. Always drawing the fanciful creatures she'd read about or see in her dreams. Moments of happiness when things were thought to be well or at least everyone pretended well enough to make it a pleasant moment.<br><br>But then the vision's came, and her whole world turned upside down. Joanna would have 'dreams' that showed her things that never made any sense. And when she spoke of them her family feared that girl, they had brought into their family was touched by the devil. The days that followed are something Joanna never speaks of, but in the end, it seemed to become too much. She was only 15 but enough had been enough. Joanna walked up the church's bell tower while her so-called father spoke of gods love and leaped from it.<br><br>Her scream when she fell towards the stones below caught the attention of those inside. Joanna expected to see the last moments of her life flashing before her eyes just before a painful ending took her life. But it didn't happen; instead, her body came to a stop just before hitting the ground and floated there for what seemed like forever to her. She could barely believe it, barely escaping death was one thing, but defying the laws of gravity to do it was a whole different matter. It was as if God himself had caught her in his unseen hands and saved her for a higher purpose. The magic slowly faded and eventually, Joanna gently landed on the dusty stone pathway below her.<br><br>If her visions had not convinced them of her wicked soul, this sure as hell did. Terrified Joanna went home expecting to receive the beating of her life. But before they could even enter the home they were met with members of the American mystery of magic. They couldn't tell the family the whole truth, but they did explain that Joanna was special. At first, her adoptive father refused to let her go, but when it was not so subtly pointed out he could be facing real jail time for the abuse he had made Joanna endure he said to take her. He wanted nothing to do with the spawn of satan anyway.<br><br>Not yet 17 Joanna was taken to a wizarding family to finish her muggle schooling and get slowly introduced to the new world she now found herself in. At first, Joanna was scared, such a strange new world, her limitations lifted, no one understanding her at all. In the beginning, she was the strange girl that always questioned things and dressed so different from everyone. But the more Joanna learned the more she began to change, finally realizing the truth of the world. And as time rolled by Joanna came to the conclusion that the so-called acts of god were nothing more than a wizard having some fun with the simple folk. That there was no god, no big scary being watching and waiting to punish, that she was not some sinful being that needed to pray for forgiveness. NO, she was a woman, no she was a Witch and soon with a few rather interesting influences, Joanna grew into the young woman she is today. Confident, determined, wanting to learn all she can and become one of those powerful wizards that were talked about, and living life, however, she fucked wanting. Knowing finally the only things she had to worry about was getting caught by man's laws. Nightmares of her past come, but nowadays she knows just what to do to chase them all away.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> rock and roll, dancing, motorcycles, old muscles cars, flying brooms, dragons, swimming, good strong drinks, the "occasional" joint, quidditch (totally wants to be a beater), poker, challenges, candy (she was never allowed much of it growing up.), parties and everything that goes with them,<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Pastels, People sticking their nose in where she doesn't want it, prudes, pop music, country music, Rap music, whiners, rules lawyers, bible thumpers, even worse when they try and force it on her, abusive ass holes,<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><strong>Real family unknown </strong><br><br>The Wizarding(foster) Family that took her in not blood related to them.<br>Markus Holmes | Half blood | Chef | 44<br>Sara Holmes | Half blood | Designer | 42<br><br><br>The muggle family that adopted her.

Her hair is either kept short or just long enough to pull into a ponytail. Her style tends to lean towards the tomboy side, and she's never been seen with makeup or really dressed up for that matter. Well beyond her dress uniform that is. <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong>Tatyana believes the only true limits one has in a world like this are the ones they place upon themselves. So excuses don't get far with her, in fact, they only get her pushing the individual harder. Most would see this as harsh or cruel, but in the end, she is actually doing it to better them. To help them to survive and become something more then they thought possible. She has an eye for the potential in people and has always strived to help them realize as well. Granted some are far less grateful for the added attention. Only in time do they come to understand what Tatyana was really doing.<br><br>Tatyana has always been known for her strong will and determination. To the point where she has pushed herself farther then most would ever think possible. Standing when most would think she should fall, or taking on the challenges most couldn't see her surpassing. In past years she's been known to have pushed herself to the breaking point. But she has become stronger for it in the end.<br><br>Most of the lower classmen utter hushed rumors about her. Some say she has no emotions, as she seems to never become shaken or broken down. No one has ever seen her cry, or simply give in. In truth all people break, all people want to give in at some point. But it is then Tatyana reminds herself to be strong. Only in her most private moments, would she ever release the storm of emotions that have assaulted her senses through the years. Learning to utilize them to strengthen her magic has taken years of practice. The understanding of control and the ability to tap into them at any given moment has been trying at times but a proven skill she works to better with each passing day.<br><br>That being said Tatyana is not always a constant hard ass. She does have a cheeky side to her and knows that there are times to enjoy life. Working that hard for a goal and never rewarding yourself (no matter how small) just seems silly. One of the few known moments is when she is sitting around the table, drinking a bit and playing poker with her fellow classmates. Or taking the moment to celebrate a victory, after all forgetting what you’re working so hard for will only weaken you in the end.<br><br>Tatyana has never been in a relationship during her time at Durmstrang. In all honesty, she believes it would be far too distracting. And despite her father's beliefs about where a woman’s place should be, she strives to make her own path. That does not mean she hasn't had urges...or that she doesn't satisfy those urges. But overly romantic attachments are not her thing.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Tatyana Lauritzen younger years were spent chasing after her brothers. Her older brother Axel and her twin Gabriel were always off trying to train with their father or play the rougher games girls weren't supposed to play. It drove her father mad, as he believed that a woman shouldn't be doing such things. That Tatyana should be playing with dolls or having tea parties, not rolling in the mud or climbing rocks. Yet despite his best efforts to instill a softer ideal upon her, she was determined to be the tomboy that bested her brothers.<br><br>Tatyana's mother, a strong-willed woman, saw no harm in her daughter wanting to do what her brothers did. And despite her husband's grumbling encouraged her to be and do whatever it was that felt right. Even if that meant she didn't get to play dress-up with her little girl.<br><br>Upon entering Akademiya Iz Mladshiya Volshebnik (Academy of Junior Wizards) it was clear that there was more to Tatyana then one would think when first looking at her. At her age she was still smaller than boys, even her twin brother outweighed her. But her mind was what helped her excel during her younger school years. She practiced without pause to be the best. Her grades a clear indication of her minds real potential. Tatyana graduated with honors before moving on to Durmstrang.<br><br>Upon becoming a first year Tatyana set goals for herself. Her twin brother teasing and believing she could not surpass him or achieve those goals only motivated her to push that much harder. She was known for her energy, her need to learn and her willingness to try. It was hard, to say the least; upper-class men pushed her that much harder because of the attention she'd draw upon herself. But Tatyana dug in and pushed forward, passing her first series of test on the first try. This became the starting point of her brother’s resentment as his scores were not only worse than hers but he barely managed to pass some of them.<br><br>Tatyana began to put her plans into motion the moment her first year started. But first, she had to learn how to handle herself against harsher opponents. This meant that a good bit of that year was spent getting her ass handed to her in some of the more physical exercises. Brute force was never going to help her win, there was simply no way she could match the boys in that area. Her brother made that rather clear when it put her in the infirmary. It was then Tatyana began to read her opponents, each one had a weakness she simply had to find it and use it to her advantage.<br><br>Training hard every day, even to the late night hours Tatyana learned to use her speed and agility to her advantage. Her mind was her strongest weapon, but her body was soon becoming finely tuned to compliment that. The tides turning as she challenged her brother once more for his Captain position of one of the school's Quidditch team. The final blow not only returning his favor of pain but also gaining her the new position and a great deal respect.<br><br>This caused a great deal of strife within the boys close to her brother. They challenged and bucked against her command. One even going as far as trying to attack and take advantage of her, his way of putting Tatyana in her place. Thankfully she had not earned her station without reason and was able to put the attacker in his place. He was promptly punished for his actions once released from the medical area. A position the sorry male still finds himself into this day. Her brother may have resented her, but he did try and explain that was never what he wanted. Still, the whole incident has led to a great deal of strife between the siblings.<br><br>Her 3rd year was that moment when balance and control needed to be found. Tatyana needed to find the ability to remain calm no matter what was thrown at her. Emotions had their place and would only make her seem weak and feminine. And despite the equality within Durmstrag, she knew it would only hold her back. Meditation, study and further training of her body readied her for what was to come.<br><br>The day of her final tests Tatyana was forced to make a choice. Accept that she could only go so far, or push to prove her family and others wrong. Her brother tried to put doubt within her mind, even going as far as telling her she shouldn't surpass him. That it would make him and the family look bad. But her response was clear once she decimated him in the first challenge within the tests. If he was so weak that he had to stoop to those tactics then he did not deserve to excel. He would have to work as hard as she did or fall back in the ranks once more.<br><br>Her scores were beyond impressive; the doubt that was once held about her seemed to vanish as she finished her last tests. Now Tatyana still strives to push herself believing that there is always more to learn. She uses her station and knowledge to help those below her. Granted her version of helping is known to be harsher than most with a softer touch. But she knows what they will face if they really wish to achieve anything worthwhile and knows that being easy on them will get them nowhere. Now heading to Hogwarts for the TWT Tatyana knows that they will face unexpected changes and challenges, but believes with enough force of will and belief of self that she and her fellow classmates can not only handle but excel at whatever comes their way.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong>Music, reading, playing cards, cigars, a good stiff drink, flying, the outdoors, parkor, gymnastics, training(mind and body), dueling, war games, competition, snowboarding, camping, rock climbing, sparing, swimming, being a general smart ass with her friends...<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Whining, people being lazy, people expecting her to be weak for being a woman, her brother, cockiness (specially when you can't back it up), chick flicks, drama queens, <br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><br>Older Brother | Axel Falkenrath&nbsp; | Hit Wizard | 32 | Pureblood<br><br>Twin Brother | Gabriel Falkenrath | Student | 23 | Pureblood<br><br>Father | Pettier Falkenrath | Head Auror | 57 | Pureblood<br><br>Mother | Adela Lauritzen | Head of Accidental Magic Reversal Department&nbsp; | 57 | Pureblood<br><br>Aunt | Sassa Lauritzen | Magical Historian | 55 | Pureblood<br><br>Maternal Grandfather | Stefan Lauritzen | Deceased | Pureblood<br><br>Maternal Grandmother | Kaia Bremer | Magical Historian | 89 | Pureblood<br><br>Maternal Great Grandmother | Tatyana Bremer | Deceased | Pureblood<br><br>Maternal Great Grandfather | Reportedly unknown (dark family secret) <br><br>Maternal Great Great Grandmother | Gabriella Bremer | Deceased | Pureblood<br><br>Maternal Great Great Grandfather | Lucas Bremer | Deceased | Pureblood<br><br>Paternal Grandfather | Halvard Falkenrath | Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot| 84 | Pureblood<br><br>Paternal Grandmother | Frida Falkenrath (Raske) | Housewife&nbsp; | 82| Pureblood<br><br>Paternal Great Grandfather | Johan Falkenrath | Deceased | Pureblood<br><br>Paternal Great Grandmother | Katja Falkenrath (Vinter) | retired mediwizard | 103 | Pureblood<br><br>Maternal Great Great Grandmother | Gabriella Bremer | Deceased | Pureblood<br><br>Maternal Great Great Grandfather | Margit Falkenrath (Dahl) | Deceased | Pureblood <br><br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - O<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - A<br><em>Potions</em> - O<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>Divination</em> - P<br><em>History of Magic</em> - O <br><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - A<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - O<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Potions</em> - O<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>History of Magic</em> - O <br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> Harris' hawk (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Harris%27s_Hawk_%28Parabuteo_unicinctus%29_3_of_4_in_set.jpg/220px-Harris%27s_Hawk_%28Parabuteo_unicinctus%29_3_of_4_in_set.jpg) (her familiar/pet his name is Franky)<br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Katee Sackhoff<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=22100.msg859410#msg859410)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong>

She has no tattoos, dark blue eyes and prefers to wear very little makeup. <br><br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> <br><br>Loner<br>Quiet<br>Shy<br>Soft Spoken<br>Kind<br>Insecure in social situation, as well as in her skills as a witch.<br><br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Ten years ago, Bambi's world was turned upside down when her mother was murdered by another wizard by the Avada Kadava curse. Despite an investigation, the one responsible for the crime remains at large and little can be explained. This hit Bambi -then, 9- quite hard. So much so, in fact, that she stopped speaking altogether. Try as her father might, the grieving widower gave in to his daughter's silence when he failed to bring her out of it and threw himself deep into his work. It wasn't until Bambi started her education at Beauxbaton academy that she found her voice, and even then it was primarily for lessons and spell work.<br><br>Great things are expected of Bambi, despite the trauma. Or, maybe, because of it. She comes from a prestigious family of wizards with deep ties to Beauxbaton academy, be it in the form of professors or, as it currently stands, the Headmaster of the school itself. It’s expected that she will carry out tradition and seek a career that benefits both blood and the school, yet Bambi doesn’t exactly excel in most of her classes. She is, rather devastatingly, quite average. She struggles coming out of her shell and making friends or meaningful connections. People either wanted something from her -such as looking good for the Headmaster in hopes of leverage- or often find her too quiet and reserved for their liking. <br><br>Despite it all, she’s hopeful for the future, and while she applies herself to her studies and the knowledge is there, something is holding her back and making her second guess every move she makes. Bambi is determined that this year she might find her confidence and discover who she wants to be.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> The sound of rain on window panes. The smell of cedar and rich woods. Warmth. Romance novels, and reading in general. Swimming in the ocean. <br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Fear of heights/flying. Second-guessing herself. Dishonest people. Cruelty. People who take advantage of others. Violence. Confrontation.

She's quite good at reading body language. Is always seen wearing her mother's necklace. She doesn't react well to confrontation and sometimes 'shuts off' or folds under pressure, despite her best efforts.<br><br><strong>Connections:</strong> <br><br>Eliza Campbell: Bambi met Eliza over the summer when the confident woman was doing a 'walk of shame' down the streets of Paris. Worried, Bambi stepped forward to see if the woman needed any help, and was charmed by her confidence, her upbeat personality, and forward nature. She instantly took a liking to Eliza and considers her to be one of her closest friends.<br><br>Juliette Belanger: Bambi idolizes the woman, from her sense of poise and intelligence to the way that she seems so acutely aware of everyone's feelings around her. Juliette has tutored Bambi on some of her etiquette classes.<br><br>Florian Fournier: Friend and fellow classmate who does a good job of looking out for her. She doesn't like his methods all the time, but he treats her well.<br><br>Daniel Delgado: Acquaintance evolving into friendship. Plus he has an adorable hedgehog.<br><br>Raynor Nordskov: A friend from childhood, who she hasn't seen in nearly ten years. Their families were quite close while they were growing up, and it seems that bond hasn't dissolved.<br><br>Valentin Delestrac: A... friend? Acquaintance? Bambi feels sorry for the bullying he seems to attract and will go out of her way to be a friendly, supportive face for him.

He wants that heart to bleed into the outsides of his skin, so the most notable part about him is the colorful tattoos ranging up his arm, and then the contrasting monochrome tattoos on the opposing side. His eyes are kid and blue like the cold summer Ruissan seas up North. There isn't anything too notable about his hair color, other than it's extremely common. The type of hair that one would consider blonde, but then on other days consider light brown. It's kept short to keep up to the social norm of his almost military style, strict family. <br><br>That could be why a rebellious grin sits on his broad chin and smoldering face. He has those eyes that always look like they're seeing more than just your features, but also somehow seeing past those eyes into the mind. He likes to wear normal clothing, nothing too fancy, because the true wonder comes from what is underneath. He's known for wearing jewelry, mostly because he just enjoys crafting rings and working with his hands. Hands are always rough, calloused, as if he worked as a young man and now uses his hands actively to make things and draw. He's never liked his nose. Critical on the way it doesn't complement his face and looks too flat at the top. The man is in constant seek of finding balance within himself and also within his looks. He'll take great care in making sure his shirts are pressed, and his short hair doesn't look sloppy. He also cares about his body. Making sure to hit the gym and get those washboard abs that he's discovered everyone can be a fan of. <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong><br><br>- Creative | There is never only one traditional route. Urvan is creative enough to look outside the box for other shapes that can solve all sorts of solutions. <br><br>- Artistic | It doesn't matter what he touches. It always has an artistic look to it. <br><br>- Balanced | Mild tempered. He seeks balance in everything. Can often be found mediating, as well. <br><br>- Naive | There is a bad side to seeking to look for the beauty in everything. He's been burned by many who are too cunning for him. <br><br>- Romantic | At the end of the day, he would prefer a sweet kiss and embrace over a hot steamy one. <br><br>- Introverted | Not really into the big scene of things. Prefers the more mellow side of life. <br><br>- Structured | This works against him, since another side of him is more creative. However, his upbringing makes him a sucker for looking to confirm and organize everything around him.<br><br>- Easily Influenced | He can often succumb to peer pressure, as he can feel like he doesn't fit in with the normal students of Durmstrang.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong><br><br>Urvan was born in a strict family under the watchful eye of the Russian Federation. His father was a guard for a prison and his mother worked at laundromat day to day. Leaving a lot of time in his childhood for Urvan to sweep himself away into magical lands of his books, drawing pictures, and chalk on the sidewalks around him. Even if he was often scolded by his parents for acting in such a creative way. He needed to be playing with toy cars, toy guns, military men and the like. However, Urvan was nothing more than a kind soul looking for balance in regards to the strict black and white lifestyle that his parents brought him up in. They struggled for money, and still do to this day. <br><br>Throughout his life he looks to please his parents, but he always felt like he was born of a different breed. Hearing the news of his magical abilities started to make sense a lot of the random happenstances and 'by chance' situations happening in his life. While his parents were at first skeptical of letting their only son go to Durmstrang, it seemed that the fates aligned when they reasoned that this may be an opportunity for someone of his last name to make something of himself. Other than a job at the mines, guarding, or physical labor. They had already felt that it was a lost cause trying to get him to beat to the drum of their own hearts, and let him go away to pursue his own dreams.<br><br>In his years at Drumstrang, Urvan found that he was also struggling against the social norms. However, this lack of socializing has lead to an experience in honing his craft for art and also discovering his magical abilities. Not to mention that age has done nothing but wonders to this man. While he was once a frail, skinny, tall man. Now, with his new exercise regimen and love of Quiddich (he's always wanted to be a Chaser), he's got broad shoulders, muscular abs, and a handsome face to match. It's a confidence boost, and also a social boost. Even if he hasn't quite decided if he likes the extra attention. The extra beautiful creatures around him to warm his bed, however, are a welcome addition. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> <br><br>Art - He likes being around art. Creating art. Photos, pictures, colors, and having a creative outlet. <br><br>Quiet - Excels best when he's working in quiet places.<br><br>Exercise - He loves to exercise and has been considering trying out for the Quiddich team, even at his second to last year. <br><br>Cigarettes/Cigars - The man loves tobacco. <br><br>Meditation - Likes to spend time meditating to balance himself<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> <br><br>Loud People - He doesn't deal well with arrogant and loud people. <br><br>Mess/Chaos - He does not like a messy place or feeling as if he is out of control with chaotic situations happening around him. <br><br>Traveling - He'll do it, but boy does he have a queasy stomach when he travels. <br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><br>Father | Krupin Vsevolodovich | Prison Guard | 55 | Muggle<br>Mother | Yankova Vsevolodovich| Retail Maid | 54 | Muggle<br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - A<br><em>Herbology</em> - A<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - A<br><em>Potions</em> - A<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - A<br><em>Astronomy</em> - E<br><em>Divination</em> - O<br><em>History of Magic</em> - A<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong><br><br><em>Muggle Studies</em>&nbsp; - (Advanced)<br><em>Divination</em> - (Advanced)<br><em>Charms</em> - (Advanced)<br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Vadim Ivanov<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> O&amp;O (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=142047.0)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> Wanted Ad: Always up for connections of friends, romantic interests, and people to warm his bed.

Her dark brown eyes comes from her father, as well as her wide smile and loud laugh. She has no tattoos but there are a series of long, pink scars on her body from "the day she had to grow up fast", although their origin is something she really can't fully explain.<br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> <br><br>Blunt: Sometimes the truth hurts. She doesn’t say it to put people down, but Mack doesn’t like it when people dance around the subject. It’s better to rip the band-aid off than to drag it out and torture yourself.<br><br>Snarky: Whether her humor is appropriate or not, she’s usually saying -or thinking- some quip remark. Usually towards people of ‘authority’.<br><br>Brave: She never backs down. Even when she should.<br><br>Impulsive: She doesn't exactly think things through. If it seems like a good idea at the time (or fun,) then she's jumping right in, feet first.<br><br>Sharp: Keenly intelligent, Mackenzie picks up on little details and often excels in all of her classes. Her professors lament over the fact that she could be one of the top students in the school if she actually applied herself, however.<br><br>Open-minded: She’s willing to bend an ear for someone trying and change her view, explore sex with different genders, and see what might be out there. She is under the strong belief that it’s impossible to know everything, and it's a waste of time to pretend to.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> All things mysterious has become an obsession for the O’Hare family, one that brought riches, fame and death. Nial O’Hare, Mackenzie’s father, was a renowned Unmentionable for the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Mysteries. His job often took him away for days or weeks at a time, delving in some lost cave or discovering forgotten tombs. Always he would come back with a fantastic story that left the girl at the edge of her seat. Even as a small child she knew that this was exactly what she wanted to do.<br><br>The exact circumstance of Nial’s death is little more than a white-flash in her mind. She simply cannot remember what happened. Her last clear memory with her father was sitting at the dinner table, playing cards and talking about his recent trip, and the next thing she could recall was nearly two weeks later in the hospital, surrounded by unfamiliar faces in suits. They refused to fill her in on the details, but over time Mackenzie discovered that she had been obliviated, several times, replacing memories with a blank white space. The problem was, whatever happened scared the ministry because their spells didn't seem to hold. In a desperate attempt to learn more, Mack began to lie when she is 'routinely checked in on' to make them believe all was well. Satisfied, they released her in order to live with her aunts.<br><br>Heather O’Hare was married to a woman named Susanne, a muggle who worked at the National Museum of Scotland. While Heather herself didn’t know any magic -it was only her twin brother, Nial, who had the gift- she was versed enough in the wizarding world to fully support her niece. Heather and Susanne were brightly intelligent women, strong, witty and took no guff from anyone. They helped Mackenzie get through her junior years at Hogwarts and develop fully into the woman she is today.<br><br>While Mackenzie doesn’t refer to the women as her parents, she is quite close to them both and is fiercely protective and loyal to them.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Adventure. Learning new things. Mysteries. Puzzles. Sex. The ache of sore muscles the day after a good workout. The smell of libraries. Haggis.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Authority figures who look down at students and treat them as inferior. People who aren’t curious, who talk with their mouths full, who discriminate against those not ‘pureblood’ or magical, and who disrupt her studies.

He has bronzed skin, dark brown hair and chestnut brown eyes. Some people say he has a baby face and while that's something he might be thankful for later in life, for now, it is annoying to hear. He is six feet tall and has a slender, but slightly muscular build, while still maintaining a lithe figure. He is sometimes spotted with his glasses, which are thick, oval shaped black frames, but generally dislikes glasses and prefers to wear his contacts.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Carefree | Independent | Adaptable | Daydreamer | Spontaneous | Romantic | Agreeable | Easy to please<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Daniel was born to Santiago and Natalia, in Barcelona Spain. Natalia was a singer who often traveled to conduct performances. Santiago was a carpenter who only worked when there was work to be done. Money was tight. Very tight. They struggled during most of their relationship, financially. Money was often the cause of their arguments. Then, one day, Natalia became pregnant. Though a child was not in their plans, she had every intention of keeping the baby. Santiago, however, was resistant to the idea. He wasn't ready to become a father and the idea that he soon would be one whether he liked it or not, was too much for him to bear. He frequented local bars and avoided Natalia more and more, the larger her stomach grew. <br><br>When it finally came time and Daniel was born, Natalia was overjoyed. She had to drive herself to the hospital once she confirmed her contractions with a nurse on the phone, because Santiago was - as usual - not at home. At the hospital, staff contacted Santiago, who arrived after Daniel had gotten his first bath. It occurred to Natalia that Santiago would just continue to miss the firsts in their son's life. Having her son put things into perspective; she realized she couldn't raise a newborn son in the same home as an alcoholic who was trying to drown his sorrows and erase his mistakes at the bar. Daniel wasn't a mistake, she maintained. And even though it was difficult, she separated from Santiago before Daniel was even a week old. Natalia had her parents to help raise Daniel, allowing her to continue to sing and earn money to care for him. <br><br>More often than not, she would overextend herself, picking up multiple gigs at a time. Santiago sent money every so often, after being persuaded to do so by Natalia's parents - she was too proud to ask, herself. But, ultimately, Daniel was raised in a home that was brimming with love. Though he couldn't always get new clothes when he needed them, or wasn't always able to eat seconds for dinner because they needed to keep plenty for the following day, he was never lacking in love and affection from his family. When he became school aged, he realized that not having a dad made him seem weird to the other kids. He visited Santiago from time to time, but those visits became more and more sparse over the years. Santiago had met someone much younger, got her pregnant, and married her shortly after she gave birth to twin boys. <br><br>One day, a flood wreaked havoc on Natalia's home. They lost almost all of their belongings. Pictures, scrapbooks, old toys and homework assignments, Daniel's used roller blades, Natalia's rented gowns for gigs, the couch they had forever which was already worn and tattered from use, along with all of the food in their fridge. They had to escape their house by climbing to the roof - thankfully, Daniel was old enough and strong enough, to help his mom - and flagging down a rescue boat. After that, they had to start over from scratch. They moved in with Natalia's parents, who welcomed them with open arms. Yet, Natalia felt guilty for staying with them. She felt guilty that she couldn't provide Daniel with a safe upbringing. Even though there was no way that she could have prepared for such a damaging flood. <br><br>In desperation, Natalia reached out to Santiago, but he had no plans of continuing to pay child support, and claimed to have no means to help them further. Even though his new wife was unemployed and living in the lap of luxury. It was hard to leave his mom and grandparents behind for Beauxbatons, but Natalia knew Daniel was special and this explained it. He used to play with a magician's set when he was younger, but now he could perform real magic. Daniel always said he wanted to be a magician when he grew up, and now, somehow that was a possibility! His mother persuaded him to go, to enjoy himself, and not to worry about her. But, he still does. When Daniel was no longer a minor had more say in how often he'd visit his dad, he informed everyone involved that he would rather not visit Santiago's new family, if he didn't have to. Although it never seemed to bother him on a personal level, Daniel harbored some ill feelings toward his father and vowed to be a better man than him. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Muggle magic | Freedom | Exploring | Quidditch | Showers (not baths) | Alcohol (maybe a bit too much)<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Feeling caged | Confrontation | Floods | Lakes and Oceans | Fear of drowning | Being lectured about drinking<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><br>Father | Santiago Delgado | Carpenter | 55 | Muggle<br>Biological Mother | Natalia Vazquez-Delgado | Singer | 51 | Halfblood<br>Step-Mother | Alessandra Delgado | Unemployed | 30 | Muggle<br>Half-Brothers (twin boys) | Diego &amp; Mateo Delgado | Children | 5 | Muggles<br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - A<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - A<br><em>Herbology</em> - A<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - A<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>Divination</em> - P<br><em>History of Magic</em> - A<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - P<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong><br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - A<br><em>Potions</em> - A<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Pet:</strong> Hedgehog named Hedgy - Found on Beauxbatons grounds last year<br><br>(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/a2/dd/92/a2dd92f13ebb7d4c6957593e6ab4bc5a--rhodes-xavier.jpg)<br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Xavier Serrano<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=156601.msg7169944#msg7169944)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> He speaks Spanish, French and English fluently.

She has two older brothers, Patrick - a fellow Hogwarts student - and William, the eldest, who works for the Ministry of Magic in London. The siblings grew up with their father often away for work, either in London or elsewhere in Europe, while their mother was ever present in the household. Angela was taught Spanish and English as a child by her parents. Once she turned 11, she was sent to Hogwarts to study like her brothers before her. <br><br>There, she found herself struggling in some classes, potions and charms especially, but excelled in transfiguration. During her teenager years, she didn't make any strong friendship with anyone. She spent her time at the library reading, making music, or hopping from social group to the other when she was bored, always staying in the periphery. In a way she was surrounded by people, having so many acquaintances, but she wasn't really friends with any of them. This aura of mystery about her coupled with her looks brought many suitors, which made Angela realize she was homosexual. Upon graduating the secondary school division of Hogwarts, she pursued her studies at the university level due to her family's pressure. Indeed, her family want her to "get a proper job" as opposed to pursue a music career like she dreams of. <br><br>With the announcement of the Triwizard Tournament taking place this year, Angela already decided she wouldn't participate.

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 junior 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 the Junior Wizarding Program 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 prestigious finishing program in Scotland. This year marks Grace's fifth 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 | Video games | Puns | Puzzles | Board games | Cotton Candy | 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 | Costumes | Roleplaying | Daydreaming | Making others laugh | Trying anything once | Wishful thinking | Good surprises | The smell after rain<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Getting her bubble burst | Broken promises | Breaking things | Pessimism | Dark magic and all that it encompasses | Being lied to | Being led on | Bad surprises&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Family:</strong> To her knowledge, Grace does not have any magical relatives. 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 discovered that she possessed the ability to produce magic; her wish had come true.<br><br>Mother | Madeline Carter | Student/Secretary | Muggle | 39 | Never married <br><br>Father | Preston Holmes | Bio-medical Engineer | Presumed Muggle | 55 | Never married<br><br>Maternal Grandparents | Daniel &amp; Julie Carter | Retired Entrepreneurs | 59 | Muggles | The Carter's ran their own bakery/coffee house <br><br>Paternal Grandparents | Unknown <br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - D<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - P<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>Divination</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - P<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Victoria Magrath <br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=156601.msg7169944#msg7169944)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> Grace is in the Anime club and has a fashion blog where she sometimes posts pictures of her outfits. <br><br><strong>Connections:</strong> <em>Cai</em> - Ex boyfriend.

His actions can be hidden or out in the open, but he's always working on something.&nbsp; He's always propelled by the sensation that he's not good enough.</li><li><strong>Complicated</strong> -- He seems to hide more about himself than most people do.&nbsp; Whether this comes from his upbringing, or is just intrinsic to his personality is anyone's guess.&nbsp; It's a rare person who gets to see the real Cai exposed.</li><li><strong>Friendly</strong> -- Despite his secrets, Mr. Hildebrondus presents a pleasant demeanor to the outside world.&nbsp; This is probably one of his actual personality traits that he didn't suppress...after all, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar, right?</li><li><strong>Independent</strong> -- He's used to having to do things on his own, what with the minimalist approach his parents have taken with his upbringing.</li><li><strong>Nervous</strong> -- Although he tends to hide it well, Cai experiences a lot of stress over choices in his life.&nbsp; He's no zen master.&nbsp; A lot of it probably owes to the conflict he goes through over which path in life will be the best to take--light or dark.</li><li><strong>Creative</strong> -- He's already a committed inventor of new spells.&nbsp; Nothing particularly useful or amazing yet, but he definitely loves the thrill of a new discovery.</li><li><strong>Arrogant</strong> -- Cai is aware of this trait, and in a lot of ways, he's comfortable with it.&nbsp; Like a lot of Ravenclaws, he's an intellectual, and he just doesn't have time to suffer fools.&nbsp; He doesn't come out and tell them they're idiots...but he feels it regardless.</li><li><strong>Stubborn</strong> -- Along with the arrogance comes self-confidence to the point of blatant refusal to accept the possibility that someone else could be right, and him wrong.</li><li><strong>Strong-Willed</strong> -- Perhaps the positive connotation of his stubborn nature.&nbsp; While he gets nervous about his choices, it's not because he made weak ones.&nbsp; He pushes himself to almost always take the most difficult choice, because he believes in his success, and talents.</li><li><strong>Discordant</strong> -- Regardless of his affable nature, Cai marches to the beat of his own drum.&nbsp; Following in the footsteps of his supreme confidence, he just doesn't give any fucks about what others think of him.&nbsp; He won't be anyone other than who he wants to be.</li></ul><br><strong>Brief History:</strong><br>Cairon Kosi Hildebrandus is the only son of Botulf Hildebrandus and Ebo Adomako, two wizards who have jointly run a bookstore and research center in Blackwater for over thirty years.&nbsp; Named for a distant ancestor of Botulf and his Ghanian day name, his fathers played a wizarding version of Trivial Pursuit to find out who would sire him and Botulf won.&nbsp; An old friend of theirs, Rohesia Grimoult, had offered to carry their child, as long as she could continue to be included in his life.&nbsp; This seemed eminently practical to the learned couple, and they easily agreed.<br><br>Until he went off to the Junior Wizarding Academy, Cairon spent almost his entire life on the Isle of Wight.&nbsp; His parents, being the deeply studious men they are, have not devoted as much time as they could or should have in his upbringing, so he learned early to be independent-minded.&nbsp; While he's not particularly resentful of this hands-off upbringing at this point in his life, he's aware of it and how it has affected his personality.&nbsp; He's spent more than a fair amount of time with Rohesia when the lack of attention from his fathers became too much to deal with.&nbsp; She's discussed their parental faults with them, but after multiple attempts, she's come to the conclusion that they simply aren't going to change.<br><br>Cai has grown up to become a brilliant wizard, not surprising with the intellects of his parents.&nbsp; This has also made him somewhat older than his years as far as awareness of himself.&nbsp; He knows, for instance, that he's suffered from a lack of attention from his fathers, and tries mightily not to let that influence his behavior any more than he can help it.&nbsp; Having had to look after himself for many aspects of his young life, he's carried a lot of responsibility, and that is a major reason why he often finds it hard to relax or unwind.&nbsp; Hardly a nervous wreck, he still finds it frustrating when can't just let himself ease off the gas.<br><br>Recognizing his talents--charms, transfiguration, and his deep understanding of magic creatures--has given him something of an ego.&nbsp; He constantly looks for ways to move himself up in the world--not monetarily, but in prestige.&nbsp; How to go about it, however, is still a sticking point.&nbsp; Being raised, in one form or another, by three very intelligent, talented, and driven older wizards has given him a distinct lack of value for the finer points of compassion.&nbsp; Not that he's lacking it--but it doesn't tend to be his first instinct.<br><br>Romantically, Cai hasn't had a lot of luck.&nbsp; His own intensity tends to only appeal to a specific kind of female, and he hasn't exactly met a lot of them.&nbsp; None of his relationships have lasted long enough for his girlfriends to actual peel away the layers and get to the real Cai.&nbsp; He may just be waiting, clueless, for the first woman to really show him the affection he's never had.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Magical Creatures</strong> -- Not as much as, say Newt Scamander, but he definitely feels an affinity to the critters of the wizarding world.</li><li><strong>The Mysterious</strong> -- A fascination for the amazing and magical keeps him eternally excited about being a wizard, and the many discoveries of the world around him.</li><li><strong>Meat</strong> -- Mutton, beef, pork...Cai is a dedicated carnivore.&nbsp; He doesn't hate on vegetarians or some of their goals...but he couldn't do tofu the rest of his life.</li><li><strong>Seventies Music</strong> -- He digs funk, disco, and the early days of heavy metal.&nbsp; Blame his dads, who could never get enough of The Jackson 5, Blue Oyster Cult, and Sister Sledge.</li></ul><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Cold weather</strong> – Yes, he's from The British Isles, but he'd love to live in some tropical paradise.</li><li><strong>Messes</strong> -- He's not quite obsessive-compulsive, but seeing disorder sets his nerves on end.</li><li><strong>Discrimination</strong> -- One way to get him out of his normally controlled mood is to let him witness prejudice of any kind in action.</li></ul><br><strong>Family:<br><br></strong><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/01/1aa35602645ca2b20f1ac025c1234e57.jpg)</div>Father |&nbsp;

He certainly doesn't mind the way girls look in it either.&nbsp; Still, his tie is usually askew, even at the best of times.<br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> <br><span class="bbc_u">Adventurous</span> - 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;

&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 time in the Junior Wizarding in a rather interesting mixture of wide-eyed fascination, and getting into all kinds of trouble with different pranks and adventures.&nbsp;

Merlin forbid he have enough drinks in his system too.<br></span><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> <br><br>As the oldest born to a pair of farming parents, Raynor was constantly expected to carry his weight while also being a role model for his younger siblings. To that challenge, Ray exceeded. He grew up amidst beautiful lands, with green forests, expansive fields, breathtaking mountains, and deep blue fjords that always come to mind when he reminisces of home. In such an environment there was an innate sense of freedom and independence imprinted on his soul. And, that soul thrived. He was a happy child, always smiling, always laughing, and pushing hard at work as though he was meant for this life. <br><br>But, with freedom comes an exploratory heart, a heart yearning for more. More came when it was discovered that he had strange talents, talents that go beyond the normal forces of nature. Amongst his younger brothers, sisters, and other children he grew up knowing, Raynor believed himself normal. A man, like everyone else. What he did not know, however, was that his father was of a renowned pureblood family amongst the Nordic wizarding families. Not only was his father a wizard, he was a powerful one, known for his skill, ferocity, and calmness in the face of his position as a law enforcement agent dealing with the darkest and dangerous of wizards and witches.<br><br>Raynor knew none of this history. Instead, the young man immense in size and strength felt troubled about his strangeness. He could make things float. He could touch a glass of water and see the liquid freeze into ice. Such things scared him, and scared other children. It was not until Ray’s mother fell ill with cancer that his mother forced the truth to escape his father’s reluctant lips…<br><br>He was a wizard. (I'm a watt?)<br><br>Such a revelation shattered Ray’s life, filling him with loathing towards his father. How could he keep such a secret from him for fifteen years of his life? How could he lie? When he felt so alone, his father was there and knew what he was going through the entire time. So, out of anger and spite, Ray ran from home. <br><br>He was but a fifteen-year-old kid out on his own in the roughness of the world. But, Ray was not an ordinary child. There was inner strength within, a knack for self-sufficiency, killer instinct, and an understanding of hard work. The lessons he learned from his father ironically aided young Raynor in finding work, and the bravery to move from place to place. It was not until Ray, and his talents, were discovered in the cold countryside of Russia was he handed the opportunity to learn about the other half of his world; the magical side.<br><br>Ray seized the chance like a hungry wolf trapping its long hunted prey. He burst into Durmstrang with a ferocious, and yearning confidence. The young man who ran from home wanted to become what his father did not, he wanted to be the best wizard he could be, the best ever even, to make a name for himself so his father could see the greatness he had achieved. Most of all, though not to his knowledge, Ray was just a lost boy seeking his place in the world.<br><br>At the beginning, he was rough, untrained. But, his innate power was undeniable. Where other wizards of his age would break under the pressure, Raynor thrived. He pushed, and pushed, never, ever quitting, climbing the mountain of his potential, always attempting to reach the skyward peak and beyond. However, the climb was not without its great struggles. He was confident, arrogant even, to the point of cockiness. Raynor the untrained wizard was undisciplined and directionless, so it was by great fortune that he eventually fell under the tutelage of Mathilda Wolff.<br><br>She tempered his anger. She dulled his ego. She honed the edge of his discipline until it was a sharpened blade capable of cutting through the hardest stone. With her guiding hand, Ray confronted his own failings. He may have had superior talent in comparison to other students, but without discipline it could never reach its truest heights. It took years, and countless numbers of private lessons with the infamous DADA Instructor, and now Deputy Headmistress of Durmstrang, but those lessons were not wasted.<br><br>The diamond in the rough discovered his shine, and that gleaming brilliance was just beginning to become brighter. That fire was growing, and could only grow further. Perhaps, now, with the reinstatement of the Tri-Wizard Tournament, Raynor could reach the dawning of his place in the world that was nearly stolen from him.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> <br><br>Competition, glory, the rush of success, the thrill of the hunt, the outdoors, physical activity, thought provoking books and ideas, merriment, the crunch of snow underneath his boots, the smell of cinnamon, the touch of a woman, and animals.<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> <br><br>Idleness, feeling useless, talking too much about his family (particularly his parents), defeat, quitting, quitters, people who are not genuine, deceivers, dishonorable acts, and an unreasonable fear of spiders no matter how small.<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><br>Father | Thorsen Nordskov | Farmer | 49 | Pureblood<br>Mother | Brenna Nordskov | Farmer | 47 | Muggle | Deceased - Cancer<br><br>Brother | Calder Nordskov | Carpenter | 19 | Muggle<br>Brother | Fenrir Nordskov | Blacksmith | 20 | Muggle<br>Sister | Saskia Nordskov | Real Estate Agent | 21 | Muggle<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</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> - E<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - A<br><em>Potions</em> - A<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>Divination</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic</em> - E<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Stian Bjornes<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=283590.msg13950776#msg13950776)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> There will be no one more excited to meet you for the first time than Raynor Nordskov.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. That aside, no tattoos marred her porcelain skin before she fell out with her father, but there are more than a handful of scars hiding tales of past woes and conflict. Now she sports more than a few changes, including several piercings along her ears and a few new inks. There is a rose tattooed to her right shoulder in memory of her belated grandmother, whom she deeply loved and felt akin to a guardian angel always perched on her shoulder.There is an old owl on her left inner arm in honor of her grandfather and the wisdom he always shared. Too each wrist is a star gifted to her by her by Kevin as a means for protection, and their mutual love for the stars above. They are meant to remind her that although they are no longer together, they will always be connected. <br><br>Meanwhile, pale green eyes that can darken with smolder at any moment glimmer through long, crescent lashes that sweep low on high cheekbones. Dirty blonde hair frames her lovely face in thick waves of spider silk, punctuating the soft pink pout of her full lips. While a bit on the string beany side, Dyani is lithe but supple and amazingly graceful considering how awkward she can be. Thankfully her mother’s genetics gifted her with an ample bust, so at least she doesn’t look unfeminine! That aside, despite her tendency to lazily prop herself against a wall or counter, Dyani’s posture is practically flawless which really goes hand in hand with her resting bitch face well.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Stubborn | Fiery | Feisty |&nbsp; Playful | Adorkable | Self Contradictory | Confused | Loyal | Courageous | Blunt | Impatient | Sentimental | Empathetic | Self Conscious | Catty | Begrudging | Evolving | Misguided | Prejudice | Bratty | Spoiled<br><br>Dyani is a pretty complicated young woman. In her youth she came off as a rather domineering and indifferent individual, with a tendency towards hostile behavior - especially towards those of a less pure blood-line thanks to her upbringing. Unfortunately, it&nbsp; had her labeled a delinquent and bully in her secondary school years. Thankfully, she has mellowed out since then - and in large part thanks to her new perspective of her family.<br><br>Regardless, Dyani always had a very strict code of conduct and a deeply ingrained moral compass, both of which were burrowed deep into her at a young age by her late mother. Altruistic and wise beyond her years, she opened her eyes to a world of empathy and respect for the planet and all its diversity. Due to this she can also be very compassionate and sympathetic but has learned the hard way how that part of herself can be taken advantage of. Upon first meeting her most times she comes off as the typical jokester - perhaps a bit arrogant and overcompensating - or downright indifferent altogether. Dyani tries her best to keep everyone at arm’s length but also seems to fail at this miserably. As much as she wants to be an uncaring badass, deep down inside she will always be a squishy idiot that cares too damn much for her own good.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Daddy’s little screw up, that’s what Dyani Steele is - Daddy’s dirty little secret. She was his biggest mistake and he’s still her greatest shame, but it wasn’t always like that. As far as appearances went, she lived a dream life that afforded her the best of both worlds. She came from a big affluent family of pure bloods, had loving parents and a bright future filled with the promise of magic and wonder. What more could a child ask for? From the time she was little Dyani was primped and primed for perfection - a long standing tradition of their family. Anything less was beneath them. They had a legacy to live up too, after all. By the time they entered school they were already ahead of the game, and always had to be top of the class - a staple Dyani clung to by the tips of her fingers.&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;<br>Even among her family Dyani was marked as something special the moment she was born. It was a legacy of her mother’s family, a tradition for the females that seemed to skip every other generation - Dyani was supposed to be a born metamorphmagus. You can only imagine their disappointment when it never manifested. Unfortunately, the damage was already done. It gained her all sort of special attention every child craved, but quickly learned they hated. The family was raised competitively and with her brothers constantly working to prove themselves, Dyani often found herself their punching bag. Jealousy and resentment was something her siblings strove to hide from anyone but her, it seemed. In the long run she would have to thank them, however, because they were the catalyst for her rebellious spirit.<br>&nbsp;<br>When she entered secondary school, already a disappointment in her parents’ eyes, it was only partially due to her toxic relationship with her brothers that she blustered such a gruff and impervious personality - the bigger and scarier you seemed, the less they’d bother you, right? Wrong. It got her all sorts of unwanted attention and Dyani had unwittingly turned herself into a local villain. That was fine, at this point she was far too used to it and fell into the role perhaps a bit too readily. If it was a villain that they wanted, it would be a villain they got! She was a rebel without a cause, perhaps the absolute worst kind. However, that terrible attitude of hers came to a breaking point when her mother suddenly passed away. She was thirteen, asleep in her dorm when the ‘accident’ happened.<br><br>At first she was more shocked than upset. For the longest time she seemed to drift through each day a disbelieving numb - but then, a little over a month later, her father began to date again. Suddenly that wretched daze was burned away by an indescribable <i>rage</i>. Just like that it was as if their mother had meant absolutely <i>nothing</i> to him! It was disgusting. It was <i>repulsive!</i> How could he possibly start seeing other women so quickly? Didn’t he twist up with guilt? Shouldn’t he be overwhelmed by anguish? And if he was so readily willing to move on and leave mom behind, what did that mean for Dyani? Did <i>any</i> of them mean anything to him? Even in the least?&nbsp; &nbsp;Was daddy dearest - the apple of her eye, the one she wanted the approval of the most - even capable of feeling anything at all? Her entire world crashed and burned with her renewed view of that despicable man. It was perhaps this exact realization that had both Dyani and her twin brother, Kevin, looking a bit more closely at their family - with their father at the forefront.<br><br>Never could they have imagined what their investigation would dredge up.<br><br>Kevin was absolutely brilliant - everything their parents could have dreamed of. He had a natural talent with numbers, for drawing up information. He always planned to be an arithmancer, and clearly it was his calling. If it hadn’t been for him they would have never known Grandma Steele had once been charged, but never convicted, of treason and collusion… as a potential death eater. Somehow, the only way they had found record of it was through a single mention in a long list of defendants in an article of the Daily Prophet written nearly 40 years ago. They knew if anyone found out about it, if even a rumor was to whisper through the halls of Durmstrang, whatever respectable life they hoped to achieve would be ruined. Their reputations dashed to smithereens. So they never breathed a word, only continued to search in silence amongst themselves.<br>&nbsp;<br>Then, out of the blue, shortly before her graduation into the college level, Kevin committed suicide. Dyani was completely and utterly stunned. <i>Suicide?</i> How could he have done such a thing? He hadn’t had any signs at all! No matter how much she tried to prove otherwise, to the outside world everything seemed to line up so <i>perfectly</i>. “He was severely depressed over their mother’s death,” they said, “his grades had been slipping as a result and they believe that the final straw was being told he might have to stay back a grade”. She refused to believe it - despite how much sense it made. He had every reason to live. If his grades were slipping then it had to do with their secret investigation... He would have talked to her, they had been closer than ever! It wasn’t until she was allowed to collect his belongings from his dorm room that she began to realize just how wrong she was.<br><br>Rife amongst his notebooks, rather than the academic scripts that were expected, was a mess of coded information that barely made any sense. Most of it seemed like gibberish, of the crazed scrawlings of a man falling into madness - and that was exactly what it was. From what little she could gather from the whole mess… It had been almost exactly as they said. Their mother’s death, his grades slipping, the pressure their family placed on success, their investigation - it was all a catalyst for his inevitable demise.<br>&nbsp;<br>Dyani was utterly crushed - but more than anything else she felt <i>shame.</i> Shame in herself for not seeing it earlier. Shame in herself for not recognizing what they were doing to him. Shame that she had been so self absorbed that she thought that <i>she</i> was the only one suffering. Not once had she stopped to think how all this might have been affecting her brothers. Not once had she stopped to think how <i>her own behavior</i> was affecting him - or anyone else for that matter. She had been so wrapped up in her own little world, her own little conditioned view, that nothing else had ever mattered.<br><br>So naturally she blamed her father.<br>&nbsp;<br>Angry, grieving, and absolutely disgusted with herself, Dyani confronted her father. A fight broke out between them and many horrible things were learned, were said. And by the end of the night she found herself disavowing her father and anyone who would have anything do with him. She expected her father to reel in anger, but to find herself besmirched by the entire Steele family…? It was at that point she decided to sever all ties with her family completely and tossed away the Steele name, taking up her mother’s surname instead. Dyani Steele was no more. She moved in with her Pop Pop Harris, switched to another school altogether - outside of the reach of her father <i>and</i> the horrible name she had made for herself - and did whatever she could to piss her old man off.<br><br>Now she is just trying to live <i>her own life</i> as <i>she wants</i> at Hogwarts. Away from the rumors of her mother’s death. Away from the sympathetic glances of those who still remembered her twin brother. Away from the hostility and wrath she had created among her peers for her previously horrible and misguided behavior.

While Jackson claims it was love at first sight, funnily enough Leotie didn’t exactly like him at first. She described him as too much of a smooth talker for her liking. She thought he was playing with her, but once he continued to stick around even after many months of trying to win her favor, she realized this might actually be the real deal.

Aaren was untouchable, after all. Not only was he an upperclassmen, but he was also a half blood. Her family would never approve of such a thing - so ultimately any relationship with him would have been moot. Unfortunately her feelings for him lingered on and rather than deal with them, she distracted herself by utterly tormenting him. Whenever she had a chance to insult him, push his buttons, <i>anything</i>, she would take it. However, now that things have changed, not that her family is no longer holding her on a leash, are those feelings suddenly viable? Does she even still see him in that light? And even still, why would he want to have anything to do with such a heinous bitch from his past anyways? <br><br>Nadia Găină - Not friendly - Poor Nadia. Dyani didn’t really bother with her due to her blood status, but when she started dating Aaren suddenly she was enemy number one. Unfortunately, Nadia wasn’t one to skirt away or hide her head. She took Dyani push for push, shove for shove - which was infinitely frustrating. As much as Dyani tried to run the girl off, it only seemed to have her clinging harder. Urg!<br><br>Loveday Marley - Complicated Friendship - There are many things that can be said for Miss Marley, but never in her wildest dreams could Dyani have anticipated the way this crazy woman would change her life. For Dyani, Loveday has given her many of her first experiences. The relationship between them is hard to explain. Most would call them friends, but for Dyani the term is far too inconsequential. ‘Friends’ are a dime a dozen - a network of convenience. Loveday is more. Loveday was one of the first people she felt true affection and comradery for outside of her family. She was also, incidentally, the first person to ever hit past second base. Funnily enough, Loveday thought Dyani was gearing up to be her rival at first, but as it would turn out, Dyani just really has no freaking clue how to properly flirt...<br><br><br>Dior Darley - Also Complicated - Dior is a goddess, there’s no refuting that. Had the two of them met under different circumstances, there is no doubt in Dyani’s mind the two of them would have either been the best of friends or supreme enemies. Dior is everything her father could have hoped for in a daughter, and now that she had a good comparison Dyani recognized how horribly short she came up. In the beginning Dyani never blipped on Dior’s radar, and it wasn’t until Dyani decided to get drunk for the first time in her life - trashed, really - and humiliated herself good and proper that she really got to interact with Dior. Perhaps it was a show of mercy, maybe she was really just <i>that</i> annoying. Who knows? Either way, Dior was kind of enough to lock the girl away from everyone else once she inevitably passed the hell out. Dyani has never forgotten it. <br><br>Hayley Alexandria Michelson - Friendly - The house mouse! Loveday adores her, and at first Dyani found herself a touch jealous. There was a closeness between the two that she sorely missed with her brother, no matter how fleeting it was. Eventually she got that stick out of her ass and grew to appreciate Hayley as well. Now she kind of wishes Loveday would focus on torturing her a little more instead! <br><br>Tatyana Lauritzen - Dyani was friendly with her fellow classmate, and pure blood, back in secondary school. By no means were they ever truly close friends, but Dyani never went out of her way to offend Tatyana either. After all, Tatyana had a reputation that went hand in hand with her Quidditch prowess. As an upperclassman, pureblood, and young talent, she had Dyani’s instant respect. <br><br>Joseph 'Joey' Kingston&nbsp; - Former Ex and current friend - Joey was just one of those infectious people you have a really hard time disliking, especially when he kept telling her she was beautiful! So naturally she became friendly with him. He even managed to make her feel comfortable enough to fool around with him. At one point they openly dated, although it was mostly for show. She was well aware he didn't plan on settling down any time soon, but she was on a hard mission to piss her pops off - and it worked swimmingly! They were only together for about a month or two, but remained friends afterwards. <br><br>Konstantin “Konsta” König - <i>Very</i> Complicated Exes - Dyani's relationship with Konstantin was devised from birth. Their families, both noble and pure of blood, had been close friends for centuries. Konstantin was almost as much a constant in her life as her brothers were, even before she began school. There were even times when one or the other were sent for extended stays among each other's home. Summers, holidays. It was a constant joke among the two families - that the two would one day be wed. But it was also something that Konstatin seemed to have taken thoroughly to heart. Even from a young age he would stand up to her brothers, protecting her when he could. In Dyani's eyes Konstantin was the protective big brother she had always wanted. Unfortunately, however, as she grew into womanhood their parents began to ply on the pressure for something more. It was almost inevitable that the two would end up together, and they did. For years the two butted heads as lovers. Their relationship was a rocky one, or at least as Dyani saw it. There were certain things about Konstantin that simply didn't sit well with her, and she broke things off with him several times over the years - only for him to drag her right back in again. In a strange way - despite the domineering attitude and the over controlling, manipulative behavior - Konstantin had been a much needed rock for her during some of her most critical years. Perhaps that was why, even as he seemed to fall deeper and deeper into his own special brand of madness, she still feels guilty for leaving him behind...<br></div></div>

The family traces their lineage through the women of the family and believe that their magic is a direct result of their blood ties to this mythological figure.&nbsp; While it is unknown if this is truly the case it is best not to suggest otherwise when among a representative of the family.&nbsp; What is undisputed is the magical prowess of the women born with Sigrundsdottir blood.&nbsp; Every daughter has been a witch and ever son a squib.&nbsp; The women of the family never take on their husbands last names and all of the girls are Sigrundsdottir. <br><br>This is the way Hella was brought up, with strong women proud of their heritage, even the dark witches in her family are revered for their past talents, if condemned for their actions.&nbsp;

In this Hella is no different.&nbsp; She receives excellent and outstanding marks in all of the subjects her family deems worthy of interest, but they push her to be even better.&nbsp; This pressure has begun to show cracks in Hella’s façade.&nbsp; She has always been a passionate and intense person.&nbsp; This had sprung not from the drive to make her family proud, though that is there.&nbsp; It comes from her forceful determination to set aside her personal wants and desires for what her family wishes her to be.&nbsp; This constant push and pull of duty and desire tears her apart inside when outside she appears fiercely determined and driven. <br><br>Hella has huge shoes to fill as her mother and grandmother are, and were, decorated Aurors and she is expected to follow in their footsteps.&nbsp; Until now she has done just that, but she secretly wonders if she will ever be happy, ever be able to make her family proud.&nbsp; Her truest desire is to settle down in the wizarding community overlooking Hellesylt on the Geirangerfjord and live a simple life of contentment.&nbsp;

Before he became as fit as he is now he was often mocked with suggestions he was a chubby quarter-giant. Though exceptionally muscular it comes more from his very physical, practical lifestyle and interests more so than efforts to work out. In line with that lack of focus on his appearance Michael rarely takes proper care of himself. He usually has a messy beard or stubble, unkempt hair and the look of a man who's only just about dragged himself from a hedgerow. He couldn't care less about appearances, and he wears whatever's practical for the task at hand. He's most confident and bold out among nature, and can carry himself with surprising shyness when socialising. <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Michael is a very emotional, caring man who adores the natural world above all else. He cherishes life and creatures and will always go out of his way to be kind to animals great and small, no matter their nature. He is very confident around animals, even if that bold faith has landed him more than his fair share of bites and scratches. It doesn't appear that any event can mar his love for the wild. For all his confidence around animals Michael is very different around people. He finds the moods of animals far easier to understand, and can often slip up socially around other people. He's not very bold around others unless they're out among nature where he feels at home. He tends to prefer the company of calm, quiet and gentle people like himself. <br><br>Valuing freedom above all else means Michael has always been a problematic student. He has only ever wanted to care for, learn about and discover new animals both magical and non magical. All other studies have been boring, or at best a means to an end. Sitting in a room reading a book is numbing to him, unless he can learn about a new creature, plant or place to find either. Even in his area of interest he has his troubles, often approaching and attempting to befriend animals regardless of their potential danger. More than a few times he's found himself in trouble for freeing creatures that shouldn't have been. Michael can generally be reckless and thoughtless, often acting before considering the full ramifications of what he's decided to do. <br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Michael grew up in the middle of a vast forest in Grizedale, Cumbria. With his father being a groundsman he spent the majority of his childhood outdoors learning about nature. His father, not a man of books, had accumulated vast amounts of practical knowledge about the natural ecosystem of the woodlands. Even from a young age Michael was keenly interested in this amazing world and he always paid great attention to his father's simple little lessons. Growing up he dreamed of discovering new creatures, taking an interest both in the real world's wide and wonderful nature and various fictions. He adored both reading about magical beasts and dreaming his own, putting pen to paper and picturing himself observing them out in the woodlands. <br><br>So, of course, the young boy could not have been more overjoyed when it transpired that everything he'd dreamed of was real. He was a 'wizard' and would be enrolled in the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was more than a little bit of a shock both to Michael and his parents, and he took quite some time to accept that it could possibly be real. Once he had he was ecstatic, an overly tall and bulky bag of nerves on his first trip to the school. Once there he settled into the world of magic quickly, but struggled with making friends and paying proper attention in lessons. Much as he found magic amazing he saw it as a tool while his real interest was not on his own abilities but on those of the magical creatures out there.<br><br>Michael and his familiar, an Eagle Owl affectionately named after the Winnie the Pooh character 'Owl',&nbsp; spent every possible moment drawing out any information he could about magical beasts.&nbsp; This lead to questionable school results, but most teachers at least accepted Michael had a great deal of passion and was aiming to achieve a lot with himself, even if he was undeniably frustrating a great deal of the time. As he grew he continued to become more and more confident around the wilder side of magic, his wand only further encouraging his reckless nature and total failure to accept that any of the beasts he met would do more than give him bruises and scratches. Where his confidence with creatures rose his confidence around wizards stayed fairly low. Undeniably socially awkward and at times teased for his height, size and muggle parentage he never felt he knew what to do around other people. <br><br>Now much older he's lost none of his bright curiosity and passion, where some hoped age might temper his chaotic side it seems the only thing it did was allow him to develop the strength and skill to better act on his whims. Still fuelled by a wand that scorched his hand when he grew idle, and often elected to cast spells to keep him on his toes, he threw himself into just about everything in front of him with a great deal of heart and a much smaller amount of planning. The tournament's return is a fairly mild curiosity for Michael. He is not competitive in the least but the idea of helping to care for some of the exotic creatures brought for the tournament is certainly intriguing. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Animals, Magical Creatures, Plants, Nature, Being Outdoors, Camping, Time Alone, Freedom, Classic British Rock<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Learning, Reading (Unless about nature.), Following Orders, Restraining his Curiosity, Upper Class People, Excess Rules, Anti-Muggle Prejudice, Bullying, Conflict<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><br>Father | Jack Oakes | Groundsman | 52 | Muggle<br>Mother | Julie Oakes | Hotel Restaurant Manager | 49 | Muggle<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> -&nbsp; O<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - A<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - A<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>Astronomy</em> - P<br><em>Divination</em> - P<br><em>History of Magic</em> - A<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - D<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - P<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong><br><br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>Herbology</em> -&nbsp; O<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> An Eagle Owl named 'Owl' (http://www.turbarywoods.co.uk/gallery/our_birds/images/Eagle_Owl.jpg)<br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Henry Cavill<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=295203.msg14467576#msg14467576) (Please note Michael is pretty vanilla and romantic.)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong>

He keeps himself fit, eating fairly clean aside from a habit of drinking to great excess. He focuses quite heavily on appearance but is genuinely a strong runner and physically very capable. He often dresses very casually wherever he can do, and doesn't care much for uniform, suits or looking smart. He'd much rather appear in fitness wear or street fashion than anything else. He's a very loud and physically expressive person, often bold and brash in social situations. Joey walks with his head held high and shoulders back, like a man with pride should. <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Joey is something of an agent of chaos by nature. He loves life, and he loves it to be loud and unpredictable. Very social he finds the more people he can surround himself with the more chance there is that things will be interesting. His attendance alone often makes a classroom, party or conversation feel like there's another half dozen people there as he loudly banters using his London slang that many of the pure bloods almost need a translator for. Joey likes a good drink, and he loves a good woman. Despite being carefree around women he's at least honest, and never pretends to be looking for anything more than casual fun.<br><br>Beneath the party animal Joey's main source of trouble is his two failed relationships with what could've been father figures. One who abandoned him before birth only to send a cryptic note that explained nothing while giving him the gift of a wand that seemed almost purpose built to draw a wizard to the dark arts. And the other was a convicted criminal doing time in jail. His mother helped him understand it wasn't Joey's fault, and she is both kind and encouraging, but he is still troubled and struggles around father figures. It is perhaps his lack of any male role models besides those his own age who were just as unguided and reckless as he was that contributed to his lack of a drive. <br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Joey was the result of a brief one night stand between an American wizard and an English-Jamaican woman in Hackney. She made it through pregnancy alone, despite greatly struggling to work as a nurse throughout. When Joey was very young she met a man named Nathaniel who would eventually become Joey's adoptive father. Unfortunately his new dad was a rough man, and caused Joey to pick up a lot of bad ideals and habits early in life. His mother did her best but Joey couldn't seem to stop getting in trouble in new, inventive ways. He was hopeless in school and often casually committed petty crimes, not really caring for rules.<br><br>A great deal happened to Joey towards the end of his childhood. His adoptive father was arrested on a variety of charges for his criminal activity just before Joey found out he was a wizard. Well, his acceptance to hogwarts was a huge shock but it came with a strange thing in his life. His mother had admitted to him that Nathaniel wasn't his father, and the falcon that arrived proved that. He could never figure out how the relatively small bird got across the Atlantic, but the note explained it was originally from America. With it it carried an American-made wand that the note explained was a gift from his absentee father. On that front the note itself gave almost no real explanation, serving as a source of frustration and very mixed feelings for the youth.<br><br>Regardless he found his way to Hogwarts, where his very social nature helped him easily befriend his fellow students, although he never got on well with many pure bloods. And his teachers quickly learned that Joey was a perfect storm combining a great deal of natural talent with inexplicably equal measures of chaos and laziness. He never put the effort in to work, and when he did it was haphazard at best. He typically failed everything that required intense studying while he exceeded at the practical side of things, earning himself something of a reputation for his knack for duelling. Perhaps his chaotic nature aided that, as he very rarely went along with anything described in books instead choosing to trust his instincts.<br><br>As he grew a little older Joey got a reputation as a party boy, leaning in to it happily and deeply frustrating his fellow students. He ranges from seen as a bit of a trouble maker to wholly out of control, with a few teachers worrying that between his skill, unknown father and chaotic tendencies he could easily form an affinity for the dark arts. Despite these moments of concern Joey has never been seen as a bully or a cruel person, simply a loud and intense one. In fact he's often stepped in to defend others, either berating them in a slew of Hackney slang or a few times tossing them to the ground. He's not allowed to see the numbers for fear it might spur record chasing, but he's fairly sure he's approaching an all time high of impromptu student duels. In his fifth year Joey's certainly no calmer. Despite moments of interest in the tri-wizard tournament he ultimately lacks the drive to strive for something like that and would rather just be the life of the parties afterwards. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Hip hop, Drill &amp; Grime music, Partying, Drinking, Living carelessly, Duelling<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Rich People, Rules, Judgemental People, Killjoys, Classical Music, High Class Events, Bullies<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br><br>Father | Ignatius Barrows | American Wizard | 48 | Pure Blood<br>Adoptive Father | Nathaniel Kingston | Convict | 46 | Muggle<br>Mother | Irie Kingston | Nurse | 45 | Muggle<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - O<br><em>Herbology</em> - D<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - P<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - A<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>Divination</em> - D<br><em>History of Magic</em> - A<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - D<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - E<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - O<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - E<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> Praire Falcon (https://d1ia71hq4oe7pn.cloudfront.net/photo/71547421-720px.jpg) <br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Broderick Hunter<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong>&nbsp; Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=295203.msg14467576#msg14467576)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Joey's Playlist</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Joey's Playlist</strong></span><br>Bugzy Malone - Drama<br>Chief Keef - Love Sosa<br>Lil Durk - Dis Ain't What U Want<br>Kano - P's and Q's<br>Kano Ft.

She has a slender frame, though little in the way of muscle. She eats well but does a minimal amount of exercise. Elizabeth tends to take excellent, very particular care of her hygiene and appearance. She wears designer clothes, uses highly expensive care products and carries herself with a very easily observable amount of pride. Elizabeth sports a variety of tattoos each with significant meaning to her. At the centre of her chest, between her breasts, she has a tattoo of snakes emerging from a heart pierced by arrows. To her this represents her history's black arrows attempting to pierce her heart and corrupt her, but a strong and proud serpent emerging regardless. At her collar bone she has several lines of Nirvana's 'Come As You Are' tattooed, for her a symbol of her relationship with drugs. On her right shoulder there is a Basilisk, a representation of her patronus. On her left wrist there are two entwined hearts that represent her love for her first girlfriend. Her right wrists holds a small elephant with a balloon, more a symbol of her generally hidden sweeter side. Her left shoulder houses a crow pursuing a butterfly, a reference to a Shindedown song 'Second Chance', for Elizabeth representing her refusal to let her family history catch up with her. Across her upper back, near the base of her neck, she has a tattoo of the words 'You should see me in a Crown'. Both a reference to the Billie Eilish song and Elizabeth's own relentless ambition.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Elizabeth's Tattoos</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b9/88/d1/b988d133c64af8205db7c6634acfda57.jpg)(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EPy-0ncRf5g/maxresdefault.jpg)(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/harrypotter/images/5/53/Basilisk_-_FBcases.png)(https://i.pinimg.com/750x/03/44/af/0344af003607f1d33aae7b8be0d0bb57.jpg)(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3b/7a/b4/3b7ab49865e5af1d45894de4796e9e74.jpg)(https://i0.wp.com/i.pinimg.com/originals/18/c3/95/18c395a288eb29dc6bdd85344c13e06f.jpg)(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/c5/06/8d/c5068d17a05ecfc2b293a45bf973b251.jpg)</div></div><br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Elizabeth utterly despises the dark arts. Almost everything she does is with the goal of becoming an Auror, or high ranking member of the Ministry of Magic with the potential to make absolutely certain that the dark arts are destroyed. She is quietly a little concerned that her desire to combat them is the aspect of her nature that is most likely to fall into dangerous temptations and see fit to fight fire with fire. Despite this she's never actively considered turning to dark magic. Her parents made absolutely certain that she never does so. <br><br>Elizabeth is a person of both great pride and guilt. She is proud of her parents proving they can change, and proud of her kindly grandparents. But she remains deeply guilty of her grandparent's actions and the actions of those associated with them. She knows what the Nightshade name used to mean and while she wants to have pride in it she is also unable to help but feel some shame in her history. Elizabeth's guilt is what most often leads to her substance abuse habit, though these moments are few and far between for the most part and a closely guarded secret. It's perhaps her chaotic side when she parties that causes Elizabeth to be very regimented and controlled in ordinary life.<br><br>To interact with Elizabeth is often aloof, cool and calculating. Many feel she is arrogant due to the extremely high standards she holds herself to, her impatience with incompetence and lack of time for the naive or immature. She can be very cocky about her intelligence, appearance and general talents. Elizabeth functions best when life is structured and organised, controlled as it can be. Chaos and mayhem upset her and cause her to withdraw into herself or avoid others. Although often blunt she does not bully, mock or tease others. As far as she's concerned that would be a waste of time. She only ever lashes out in retaliation to the actions of others.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> When Danika Spindle met Olin Nightshade her parents were apprehensive. The gentler side of pure bloods they were nervous around Olin's parents, Arem and Azolia Nightshade, who were suspected death eaters. Regardless Danika was convinced that Olin was different, and the two married. Just two years after the birth of their child, Elizabeth, both Arem and Azolia were killed in the Battle of Hogwarts when they fought on Voldemort's side. Olin, who'd grown up around the dark arts, took to lecturing on the dangers they represented. His mother, wishing to disassociate their family name from darkness, became an Auror. Danika's parents, Snow and Grove Spindle, remained gentle and informed Olin they did not hold his parents deeds against him.<br><br>But the two were still stuck raising a young child with a black mark on the Nightshade name. Olin held no love for the memory of his parents, and Danika felt immense guilt, leading the pair to raise Elizabeth to be as vehemently against the dark arts as possible. It was disturbing, then, when the young Elizabeth developed the skill of speaking parseltongue as a young age. It seemed the new member of the Nightshade household had an affinity for reptiles and snakes, but her parents tried to remind her that they were only ever considered guilty by association. Snakes were not inherently evil, and neither was she.<br><br>When her blackthorn wood wand, a dark thing to behold, with a horned serpent horn core selected her she felt even more as though she was being pushed down a single path, worrying herself greatly that she was in some way doomed to fall into the dark arts. The day she was sorted Elizabeth almost passed out when the hat exclaimed Slytherin. Of course she was. Her entire family always had been. And she was, if nothing else, incredibly ambitious. Though in her case her goal was less personal power and more the obliteration of anything that remained of the dark arts. It was perhaps the hat's sense of her willingness to lower herself to worrying depths in that goal that placed her in Slytherin above any others. One of her favourite aspects of her parseltongue was that it meant she could keep a highly venomous bush viper familiar and know she could be safe as she could speak to him.<br><br>At Hogwarts Elizabeth became an incredibly dedicated student, throwing herself into her studies with the enthusiasm of someone who desired to achieve a very particular goal. She learned well, pushing herself most when it came to duelling and competing with others or learning to combat the dark arts. It was in her later teen years that Elizabeth developed what would become a problematic drug and drinking habit. The stress she placed her mind under to better herself became overwhelming at times, as did the sense that the dark arts relentlessly tempted her. The thing that broke her spirit was her patronus's appearance. A basilisk. The king of serpents and a beast bred by dark wizards. Her brutal downward spiral of alcohol and drug abuse caused her to become incredibly withdrawn. <br><br>It was only one eventual choice that lead her to believe she had a chance of being something else. She had remarkable talent and dedication, and had still not shown any real signs of wishing to utilise the dark arts. Therefore she was, like her parents taught her about snakes, not guilty by association. She'd done no evil. Resolving to be 'The parselmouth snake-surrounded grandchild of death eaters who did the right thing' she managed to recover, though she has since suffered several more downward spirals that caused her extreme personal trauma. She shared her drug habit with her first girlfriend, who passed away after an overdose. Since then her will has been more resolute, and Elizabeth pushes herself as hard as she can to exceed in all things. She's glad the triwizard tournament is returning, enjoying fostered competition, but she does not know if she will personally involve herself. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Applying herself to Education, Duelling, Competition, Snakes, Aurors, Rules, (Secretly: Opportunities to be more relaxed and 'cute'), Playing the Piano, Metal and Rock Music, Horror Movies, Drug &amp; Alcohol Use (Problematic), Reading, Sketching <br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> The Dark Arts, Her Paternal/Familial History, Suggestions her traits link her to the Dark Arts, Naivety, Immaturity, Chaos,&nbsp; Her On/Off Drug &amp; Alcohol Problem<br><br><strong>Family:</strong><br><br>Mother | Danika Nightshade | Auror | 51 | Pure Blood<br>Father | Olin Nightshade | Anti-Dark Arts Lecturer | 48 | Pure Blood<br><br>Uncle | Otis Nightshade | Formerly Death Eater | Died at 27 in 1998 | Pure Blood<br><br>Paternal Grandmother | Azolia Nightshade | Formerly Death-Eater | Died at 52 in 1998 | Pure Blood<br>Paternal Grandfather | Arem Nightshade | Formerly Death-Eater | Died at 54 in 1998&nbsp; | Pure Blood<br><br>Maternal Grandmother | Snow Spindle | Magical Animal Carer | 73 | Pure Blood<br>Maternal Grandfather | Grove Spindle | Magical Animal Carer | 75 | Pure Blood<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> -&nbsp; O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - O<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - O<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Astronomy</em> - E<br><em>Divination</em> - E<br><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - A<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> -&nbsp; O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - O<br><em>Herbology</em> - A<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - O<br><em>Potions</em> - A<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br><em>Astronomy</em> - O<br><em>Divination</em> - O<br><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><strong>Pet:</strong>&nbsp; African Bush Viper (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5a/Atheris_hispida.jpg) <br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Nicole Meyer<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=295203.msg14467576)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> <br><br>

Though they were born a male kat identifies as neither gender, often presenting as a mixture. Physically Kat has her born male body, and has not undergone any kind of therapy or operations. They wear a variety of mens and womens clothing, often wearing makeup but aiming to appear somewhat androgynous for the most part. They have pale, smooth and soft skin and take great care of their appearance. Kat often wears wigs or extensions, but naturally has fairly short grey-white dyed hair. Kat's eyes are a distinct colour, predominantly grey with hints of blue-green that are loosely reminiscent of a stormy sea. Kat often wears cheap or unusual clothing, but their unique style tends to make sure things pull together one way or another. <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Kat's a relatively extroverted and intense person. Witty and alert, he loves to converse with others and is often thought of as charming and intelligent. Despite her boldness she's certainly not one of the typical popular students, and often gets seen as something of an outlier and an oddity. Although he often keeps to the fringe of society her appearance is widely complimented, and Kat has a good deal of people who admire both their modelling and singing. Kat herself adores sharing her artistic side whether it's through slightly unusual modelling or singing for others. Although a little unusual Kat likes attention, and loves parties. Kat's a capable dancer and enjoys drinking and socialising. <br><br>Kat's a curious artistic person, valuing new experiences and discoveries very highly. Whether this is through her unusual fashion sense, slightly surreal musical performances or her efforts at alternative uses of magic she's always exploring something. She likes others who share her curiosity, and has a great deal of admiration for the artistic side in other people. Kat does badly with those who live in the world of logic and facts, tending to either become bored or frustrated.<br><br>Kat considers themselves non-binary in gender, often referring to themselves by any pronouns and not minding what others use to refer to her, though she only likes to be called Kat rather than her birth name. Kat's also pansexual and generally flirts with most of those around her, being open and comfortable with her androgynous nature and wide open sexuality. Though she's flirty she's also a very intimate person and though she doesn't need a relationship he adores intimacy. She likes to cuddle and hold others close, and doesn't particularly enjoying being alone.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Kye grew up with a wealthy family in central London, generally struggling to fit in and often feeling a good deal of discomfort in the person they were. As a youth they couldn't understand those feelings, becoming a difficult child and letting out their internal frustration on others. Unfortunately his parents were almost entirely absent, utilising staff to raise their child as both focused heavily on their careers. It was no wonder Kye became overjoyed when they were invited to Hogwarts. An opportunity to escape was everything they'd been seeking out. <br><br>Only the Kye his parents knew never arrived at Hogwarts. Dressing in an alternative style using a mixture of boys and girls clothes the person who arrived at Hogwarts was 'Kat'. Something of a self styled mystery letting out their love of aesthetics and artistry they immediately became a far more comfortable, relaxed and outgoing person. It took a few years for them to come around to the non-binary label and even now they often refer to themselves with more colourful language. They often prefer to leave their gender and identity a mystery to others, once they've been reassured that all pronouns are acceptable so long as they remember to call them 'Kat'.<br><br>Kat took well to charms, transfiguration and potions despite their urge to experiment sometimes outweighing what was safe or sensible. They still have little in the way of concrete aspirations, though they do intend to be remembered for whatever it is that they do.

Particular about his appearance, he prefers to be clean shaven and to have his hair combed. His personal style is polished, even when understated.<br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Elitist | Ambitious | Arrogant | Acerbic | Intelligent | Xenophobic | Solitary<br><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Elitist:</strong> Pureblood elitism is only the beginning. Konstantin firmly believes that certain people are born better than others, and that he is one of them. For example, minorities, the disabled, LGBTQIA, women are all beneath him, with mudbloods at the bottom of the list.</li><li><strong>Ambitious:</strong> Konstantin has wanted to become the German Chancellor of Magic since he was 10-years-old, and that dream has only crystalized over time. </li><li><strong>Arrogant:</strong> He knows exactly how impressive he is and doesn’t need validation from others because he cares very little about the opinions of others. </li><li><strong>Intelligent:</strong> He knows his opinions put him in the minority and does not stir the pot unless he is certain there will be a reward, though he does not mind making sport of other people.</li><li><strong>Acerbic:</strong> His words are poisonous ice when he needs them to be and even when he doesn’t, he will not mince them for his audience’s palette. He is known to be direct and cavalier. </li><li><strong>Xenophobic:</strong> While he is wise enough to not be openly bigoted, a single conversation is enough to get an idea that he sees the world through a narrow and selfish lens.</li><li><strong>Solitary:</strong>&nbsp; Given how little he thinks of most people, he prefers to be alone more often than not, though he abides his fellow man with the lying smile of a serpent in wait. </li></ul><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> The König’s can trace their legacy all the way back to the earliest days of Durmstrang without skipping a single generation. Historically, they are known for producing militant soldiers and shrewd politicians, the most recent of which is Konstantin’s mother, Brigita König, who presides as the Chief Judge to the German Ministry of Magic. <br><br>However, this is not to say that the König name has always known respect. As in all families, they have had their black sheep and in the late 1800s, Otto König, a Potionsmaster, went against the family’s pureblood ideology and began making contact with non-magical people with the express purpose of mixing their blood for research. He was excommunicated from the family but continued his research into how best to intermarry science and magic. He was never successful in his attempts, but it is widely rumored that Otto König’s extensive research and journals were part of what sparked the rampant occultism within the Nazi party. <br><br>Konstantin was born to Brigita and Gerhard König on a cold winter’s day in Frankfurt. Both of his parents are highly involved with the German Ministry of Magic: Brigita as the Chief Judge of the Court, and Gerhard oversees Aurors as the <acronym title="Lieutenant General">Generalleutnant</acronym>. Both are exceptionally demanding and do not tolerate anything less than perfection from their subordinates, Konstantin included. Busy as they were, his parents left him in the care of a governess for much of his youth, a fat old woman by the name of Frau Zoller who was kinder to him than his own parents, who proved time and again how strongly they believed in corporal punishment both magical and non-magical. It was not uncommon for him to suffer beatings, canings, and other forms of physical abuse such as slapping – though Konstantin is certain that this has made him stronger instead of weaker, or damaged.<br><br>When Konstantin was 16, his father had an affair with a young and beautiful mudblood Sergeant named Safa, who then became pregnant with Konstantin’s half-sister: Zoha. This betrayal eventually came to light and Brigita divorced Gerhard immediately, using her considerable sway as a Judge and former-litigator to rake her womanizing ex-husband over the coals before severing ties with him for good. The fallout was ugly and the divorce left his mother a hateful husk of the woman she once was while his father continued to live in sin with his mudblood whore and their bastard daughter. That served as the catalyst for Konstantin’s deep well of hatred towards mudbloods, women, and Muslims in particular. His relationship with his father is terse at best, and Konstantin does not recognize Zoha as family, nor Safa as a human worthy of kindness. Now, he is hellbent on ridding the world of these vermin and knows the best way to do that is through politics, policy, and planning. He has a vision for the future, and there is <em>not</em> room for everyone. <br><br>His relationship with his mother is complicated and uncomfortable. Like a good son, he loves his mother more than anyone else on the planet and admires her, but he lives in fear of her wrath. She was always stingy with her affections but after the divorce, she could barely stand to look at her son, let alone be kind. Her verbal and emotional abuse started young and only increased with time. Still, he takes it in stride.<br><br>Konstantin attended Durmstrang from primary school through university and is going to graduate this year with the Triwizard Cup in hand.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Fucking Women | Power | Travel | Classical Music | Winning | Prestige | Divination<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Women Talking | Minorities | Political Correctness | Communists | His Father | Homosexuality<br><br><strong>Family:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Mother | Brigita Von Bank-König (https://i.imgur.com/nN5onjD.png) | Chief Judge for the German Ministry of Magic | 44 | Pureblood</li><li>Father | Gerhard König (https://i.imgur.com/kcjcVyg.png) | Auror Generalleutnant | 46 | Pureblood</li><li> ‘Step-Mother’ | Safa Yusuf (https://i.imgur.com/lODgyIn.png) | Auror Sergeant | 35 | Half-Blood</li><li>Half-Sister | Zoha Yusuf- König (https://i.imgur.com/exRsjN8.png) | 7 | Half-Blood</li><li>Maternal Grandmother | Louisa Von Bank | Litigator | 77 | Pureblood</li><li>Maternal Grandfather | Bernd Von Bank | Litigator | 76 | Pureblood</li><li>Paternal Grandmother | Hilda König | Homemaker | 80 | Pureblood</li><li>Paternal Grandfather | Heinrich König | Auror | 80 | Pureblood</li></ul><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> (All characters must have taken the OWL's for this game.)<br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> - A<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - O<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - A<br><em>Astronomy</em> - O<br><em>Divination</em> - O<br><em>History of Magic</em> - E<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - O<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - D<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br>O’s in Potions, Astronomy, Divination, Arithmancy<br>E’s in Charms, Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Ancient Runes, History of Magic<br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> N/A <br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Matthias Schweighöfer<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/onsoffs.php?u=52593)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> <br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>He speaks German, Russian, and English fluently.</li><li>One of his most hated targets is the Deputy Headmistress Wolff, who he considers a shameful addition to the school thanks to her filthy blood and American upbringing. </li><li>He is available to be killed in this game if it works out that way.</li><li>Lastly, and most importantly, I want to stress how much I abhor every quality of his.

From the United States, where Evelyn was born, she has since lived in more countries than one could count on both hands. She and her brother grew up without knowing when they would have to pack up and leave again. Making friends was always a heartbreaking experience; as soon as she seemed to find those she could relate to and began building memories, her family would receive new orders which would force them to pack up everything and leave. As Evelyn grew older, she turned her energy inward. Having friends was nice, but she tired of goodbyes.<br><br>They settled in England at Menwith Hill AFB, just shortly after Evelyn’s twelfth birthday and from that moment everything in their lives changed.<br><br>Just after settling into their new home, Evelyn began having horrible recurring nightmares regarding her older brother, Kyle and would wake up in a cloudy haze, sometimes unable to move. The following week Kyle collapsed at school and was taken to the emergency room where they discovered that he had late-stage Glioblastoma. Three weeks later, Kyle died from cancerous growth.<br><br>In her grief, Evelyn’s dreams became more erratic; she predicted her father’s car accident on the motorway a month later and her mother cutting herself by accident with a kitchen knife while making dinner. Sometimes, when Evelyn was feeling especially upset, things around her would break or burst into flame. Magic was real, but it was also quite frightening because no one seemed to understand what was happening.<br><br>She received her first letter for Hogwarts that very summer, but her parents didn’t take the news easily.<br><br>While her younger years were quite challenging, Evelyn fell in love with the school and the magic she always read about in her novels. The new discovery helped her through her grief over losing her brother <em>and</em> the grief caused by the distance that grew between her and her parents. Not everyone was as thrilled as she was with the discovery.

A Parisian suburb is actually far more similar to an inner city neighborhood and has nothing to do with a North American or even European definitions. In common language, it refers to suburban communities with high unemployment, high crime rates, and frequently, a high proportion of residents of foreign origin mainly from former French African colonies. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_situation_in_the_French_suburbs) Jamel's family is of Tunisian descent and immigrated to France in the mid 20th Century. His mother's side of the family claim they can trace back their heritage all the way to old Carthage, although his bloodline has been mixed with Muggles over time. Meanwhile his father's side claims they are related to Malik ibn Anas, the founder of one of the four major Sunni madhhabs, and the prevalent one in the Maghreb. His father, Rachid, is very religious and implemented a strict education at home for his children. Jamel grew alienated from his father's teaching early on when he witnessed him cheating on his mother Aïda with a White French woman. He kept the information to himself until he could make use of it by blackmailing his father into doing whatever he wanted while attending Beauxbâtons, which he did. At home, however, he kept the front of a devout son. <br><br>Jamel has an older sister Hafsia, and a younger brother, Abdel. They grew up around Paris, with Jamel soon embracing the urban youth subculture of the region, including its characteristic and unique slang, as well as verlan. Unfortunately as he grew older, Jamel soon became increasingly like his father, at least on the disloyal part, not remaining faithful with any of his girlfriends for instance. Moreover, he started to try to find ways to cheat at Quidditch or otherwise gain unfair advantages in most of his endeavors, cheating in class if he could, among other things. Winning was winning. How didn't matter, as long as the result was winning. That is at least what he thought. <br><br>His participation in Quidditch at Beauxbâtons generated some controversy as he was an aggressive player who always bent the rules and at times injured other players on purpose. He was also involved in some match-fixing on the side, in order to get some money. It eventually climaxed when he got caught in his 4th year of uni level with hash on his person. Without arguing with the staff, he left the Quidditch team without further incident. Ever since, Jamel had to content himself with watching professional Quidditch as opposed to play any for his school, which frustrated him, but with the announcement of the Triwizard Tournament early in his 7th year, he decided he would participate. He now seeks to become a champion for his school and enjoy himself in his last year at Beauxbâtons, before the realities of the aftermath catch up to him. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Alcohol, sex, dueling, partying, smoking (hash and shisha mainly), Quidditch<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Religion, rules (he'll break them anyways), racists, politics; fear of commitment and has trust issues<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br>Father | Rachid Mouhid | French Ministry of Magic employee | 52 | Half-blood<br>Mother | Aïda Boujenah | Housewife | 48 | Half-blood<br>Sister | Hafsia Mouhid | French Ministry of Magic employee | 26 | Half-blood<br>Brother | Abdel Mouhid | Beauxbâtons student | 19 | Half-blood<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong><br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Herbology</em> - A<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - A<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - A<br><em>Astronomy</em> - E<br><em>Divination</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic</em> - E<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - E<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - E<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - E<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> None<br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Marwan Kenzari<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> In Signature<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> He speaks Arabic, French and English. </div></div>

Going along with her love of fiber, she often wears (https://images.ecosia.org/mBZEQkbhEyGEQIwTZ5wLTEh1JMo=/0x390/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FRhZc1SGz8MM%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg) wool (http://rosielocks.com/wp-content/gallery/wool-dreads_1/img_2276.jpg) dreadlocks. (https://images.ecosia.org/D-Zievb0H8kSbqzFKqH2XZ_NaAQ=/0x390/smart/https%3A%2F%2Ffarm6.static.flickr.com%2F5257%2F5502743806_282a341086_b.jpg) She never alters the color of her steely blue eyes. When outside school robes, she dresses in a variety of ways, depending upon her dramatic mood. Caron is just as likely to go down the Gothic road as something quite colorful and cheery. There's no reason to not experiment and experience everything! Though she has no permanent tattoos, she does like to wear a fake one on occasion. She has both sides of her bottom lip pierced as well as a few other, less noticeable, areas.<br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> This gal loves learning, but gets excited when the subject really appeals to her. She has been known to find an odd morsel in her reading and fly off on a days-long study binge on just that one, likely little related, thing. Luckily for her, temporarily memorizing most things comes easily enough to her so she can make up for her lack of learning anything academic. She simply puts her musical mind to work filling in lines of a song she knows with important facts for an upcoming exam.<br><br>She's an odd mix of dedicated and flighty; studious and dismissive. Many of the other Ravenclaw students often wonder about her and she hasn't made too many friends. That fact doesn't seem to bother her; she rarely sulks for long over a rejection. It is so easy to pour her attention right back into whatever her new obsession is. <br><br>Perhaps what the pure bloods would think is her oddest habit, Caron is extremely crafty. More often than not, a newly fascinating topic will be some new technique or art form that she wants to try. She uses magical help on occasion, but prefers to get hands on with everything. <br><br>Another reason why others tend to feel so strange around her is because her social behavior can be quite erratic. One day she is furiously reading and shirks away from anyone calling her name and the next she is entering into random conversations in the halls. And she can be quite loud, too. She sings or hums often and had been scolded by the teachers about it in her earlier years while she did it in class.<br><br>She's an animal lover to her core and seeing cruelty done to them is the fastest way to invoke her rage, which comes in with sharp words and swift action. But aside from that, Care is actually a very understanding and open-minded individual. She likes to learn about other peoples' points of view as she believes that understanding something leads to less fear, anger and aggression overall. She wishes the rest of the world would get that concept.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong>&nbsp; &nbsp;<div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Not Actually So Brief...</div><div class="spoiler_body">Caron's mother Eleanor was a christian woman who had a poor education. She married a man of similarly low background and they began to raise a small family. Their first child, a perfect little girl they named Dawn, died tragically after complications from pneumonia. From that point on their marriage began to deteriorate but the two were stubborn and tried to tough it out. <br><br>The birth of twin boys kept them busy and seemed to patch things up a bit. But once the boys were in school they began to fight again. Eleanor saw what the little ones had seemed to do for them before and decided to have one more child. When another little girl came into their lives, the parents were both ecstatic and terrified. <br><br>Eleanor became a fiercely vigilant mother, not wanting to leave her new daughter alone for one tiny breath. At first, her husband was just as dedicated but something changed in him over time. Maybe it was the trouble of having two mischievous young boys. Or perhaps it was the stress of living paycheck to paycheck month after month; year after year... Allen began to drink. After the drinking came the yelling and he began hitting his wife. And all the while he couldn't shake the feeling of his tiny baby girl, lifeless in his arms. Caron herself only seemed to make it worse, though he did try his best to be there for her. It didn't help that Eleanor had insisted on giving their second daughter a middle name to honor their first.<br><br>They were too poor and he was too ignorant and stubborn to see a doctor very often. No one knew it was depression; her family hardly understood the concept. For some reason, Caron still has memories of her father. She can't recall the frantic day he killed himself but she remembers his smile, his voice... The way his beard felt rough against her tender cheek when he held her. She was not quite 4 when passed on but she still holds him in her heart. <br><br>Her mother moved on and married again when Caron was in First grade. He was an Army man who oozed charisma in public but ruled their household with an iron fist. If she thought the abuse with her first husband was bad, her second was a monster by comparison. Although she thought to stay with the man for a long while "for the sake of the children" eventually Eleanor came to realize the error of that thinking and she left one bold night. She would rather be loveless from then on than keep up the cycle of abuse that women in her family had been trapped in for generations. </div></div><br>Caron moved to the UK with her mother and older brothers when she was 9 years old. After the terrifying experience they had all had with her stepfather, Eleanor needed to get as far away from him as possible. She was always enamored with Europe due to an obsession with fairy tales but had never learned a second language. Having reached the point of "fuck it" and finally having a savings for the first time in her life, they relocated and left no forwarding address. <br><br>Caron's mother was an odd bird. Although she was very religious, she also believed she was visited by the holy spirit and gifted with ESP. Because of that, Caron was used to strange phenomenon happening around her at times but never thought it had anything to do with her. Eleanor hadn't the slightest understanding of the wizarding world and 'real' magic but she knew that wizards and witches were the devil's workers. At first she thought the letter from Hogwarts was a joke. When it sunk in that this was <em>real</em>, she began to panic. She did everything in her power to avoid the letters and pray away the evil people that were trying to take her daughter. <br><br>When she began to reach out to the religious community she had become a part of, she reluctantly had to open her eyes. A pastor gave her a brief explanation of the hidden history between the muggle and wizard communities. They had always been there. There is only as much evil on the other side of that veil as there is on their own and most people are good and do good things. Having magical talents doesn't have anything to do with what religion you follow and - Hey! Hogwarts even has Christmas Break! And so it was with some reluctance that she let Caron attend Hogwarts, but only after finding out that there was free tuition.<br><br>Care was years behind the kids who got to have magic in their lives from an early age but she ate every bit of information about it right up. She was actually happy to have some time away from her overbearing mother, especially since she had already lost her own faith in the religion she was brought up with and it was starting a wedge between them. School became a welcome home - more so even then the one containing her family.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Even More History...</div><div class="spoiler_body">Although she had bombarded the emissary the school had sent with question after question, Caron hadn't asked for details about the school houses. She was tickled to find that they each had animal mascots and thought she might be happy to be in any of them. She didn't realize that they would be separated based upon personality traits. After she was sorted into Ravenclaw and found out about the process, she briefly pouted over the idea that she might not be brave, loyal or cunning but quickly found that the house was, indeed, her niche. <br><br>During her first years at the school she was flooded with regular correspondence from her mother. Her older brothers had moved out of the house and Eleanor was lonely and worried about her. It took some time for her mother to find happiness and fulfillment but once she was able to come into her own, Caron could finally give her full attention to school without having to worry about her mother's state. Losing one parent to suicide was more than enough and although she didn't believe her mother would follow suit, the thought was always lurking in the back of her mind. <br><br>Her mother had been inspired by what she found out about her daughter's school. It was a real castle! It sparked her old storytelling instincts and she began illustrating and writing stories. Caron was so happy to find that her mom was finally doing well again. Eleanor had always sung to her and told her stories in her youth; it was a fitting occupation for her to start. But by the time this had happened, Caron was already over the awe that came with starting school at Hogwarts and was moving on to bigger discoveries day by day. She knew her mother could never fully understand the wonder of the wizarding world but it had been amazing how much she had come to support her. Eleanor did find great amusement in Caron's interest in the fiber arts, however, as she was able to see her daughter actually work a spinning wheel. Sleeping Beauty was always her favorite story, which is why she had named both of her daughters after her.<br><br>Caron's grades were generally up, though they definitely had their downs. She found some subjects hard to wrap her brain around, such as transfiguration, and found a few others quite boring, comparatively. Potions was a class that she could do well in, if she focused, but she often daydreamed in class. It felt like following a strict recipe when she would be much happier experimenting in the kitchen. <br></div></div><br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> <br>~ Animals ~ She has a general tendency of putting them at ease. Somehow she instinctively knows how to approach many animals, even if she's unfamiliar with them. She likes <em>all</em> animals.

It also accounts for her random bursts of energy.<br>~ Music ~ She sings quite often and plays around with composing. <br>~ Introverts ~ Although she can be quite bubbly and outgoing, Care is actually Introverted herself, in that she needs time to collect herself inside in order to regain energy. Calmer introverts keep that energy going rather than how some "in your face" extroverts seem to suck it out of her. <br>~ Loyalty, honesty and kindness<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> <br>~ Heights ~ She's paralyzed from the views up high.

She has blue-hazel eyes and tends to sport long or medium length hair, which she often magically dyes all sorts of differing colors. The only tattoo she has is a tiny, itty bitty crescent moon on her forearm. <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> <br><div align="center">Introverted Extrovert | Empathetic | Genuine | Mercurial | Mischievous | Uneasy | Irreverent | Bold | Adventurous | Poor Self Esteem | Flexible | Deceitful | Fanciful | Witty | Protective | Cavalier | Perceptive | Flighty | Creative | Snotty | Self Contradictory</div><br>Due to her unusual issues Lydia was never quite ‘average’. She came to know a lot of different types of characters and personalities, and so she doesn’t see things as black and white as most. In many ways she’s more open minded and tolerant than her peers. She cares little for propriety, doesn’t shrug away from blood, and isn’t afraid to deck someone if they get too handsy. She doesn’t seem to take much offense to most insults and shrugs them off like a duck does water. After all, after being picked on personally, and witnessing many of the atrocities humans can commit against one another, it’s pretty hard to shock her these days - or at least she tends to joke around like it doesn’t. <br><br>Despite all that, Lydia is extremely empathetic. Between her exposure to some of the stranger characters of religious organizations, her segregation in to “special education” classrooms with the other ‘misfits’, and the odd friendships she has fostered throughout her childhood, Lydia has the unique ability to both connect and understand those around her. It isn't hard for her to relate to her peers, even bullies, and her ability to perceive things from different angles and other people's perspectives has been noted as remarkable on many occasions. Due to this Lydia is a natural born caretaker and mediator. <br><br>Unfortunately, she also has some abandonment issues she still hasn’t quite worked through. Once her baby sister was born, Lydia’s worst fears became a reality. She was suddenly less significant, and by all accounts felt virtually invisible unless she did something wrong. Due to this she definitely has some abandonment issues, and hates being ignored or disregarded. <br><br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> <br>Brian and Katherine Callaghan never even attempted to pretend they were Lydia’s real parents. It was kind of apparent, after all. Two very Caucasian people don’t just pop out an Asian baby. For as long as she could remember they referred to her as their little miracle. Even from the first moment they saw her picture, they said, they knew she was meant to be theirs - a beautiful baby girl delivered through divine intervention. <br><br>Their story was a sad one, carved by hardship but tempered by faith. As two very devout Catholics, they never once questioned their role in the master’s grand tapestry. In their eyes, despite the difficulties they traversed - the years upon years of disappointing fertility results, or failed in vitro and surrogate attempts - all meant nothing in the grander scheme of things. If they weren’t meant to produce a child of their own then it wasn’t meant to be. However, that didn’t mean there weren’t children out there they couldn’t call their own. <br><br>Lydia Rose Callaghan was officially adopted and brought into their waiting arms in March of 2001, recovered from a Christian organization based out of China that took in abandoned children - as they claimed at least. By then Lydia was already toddling, and rearing to cause all sorts of trouble. The Callaghans always laughed as they told their stories, describing her as a precocious child with an avid and very active imagination - or so they thought. It wasn’t until she began to talk that they realized she was… well, <i>different</i>. Then the stories started to change...<br><br><i>Strange</i> things had begun to happen. They were small at first, almost insignificant. A toy they had put away would somehow make its way back into her crib, or her juice cup would somehow refill itself when it was nearly empty only moments before. She was always babbling at something, and seemed to be looking or watching things that weren’t there. Friends often joked fairies had taken a liking to her, and they joked right along with them. Until, at fives years old, their cat somehow caught on fire after clawing the little girl’s face. <br><br>By then another miracle had been bestowed upon them - Katherine was pregnant. Suddenly whatever was happening with their baby girl seemed to take on a more sinister twist in their eyes, and a <i>dangerous</i> threat to their unborn child. Immediately they took to the counsel of a man they had known since they were children, Dean Matthew Crowley. Crowley was not a foolish man, as a pastor and the dean of Lydia’s school, he had dealt with several cases involving problem children before, but Lydia definitely threw him for a loop. At first he suggested behavioral counseling with a professional, removed her from her regular classes to place her with more problematic children, and even recruited other local practitioners for aid. In the meantime, the Callaghans were able to focus on the blessing they were about to receive and were quickly consumed by pre-baby bliss.<br><br>Lydia fell into the background, not entirely forgotten, but no longer feeling quite welcome either. School was almost a welcome respite from the invisibility cloak she seemed to wear at home - even despite the bullying. And so she began to act out, challenging both her teachers and her parents at every turn just to get a little attention. It wasn’t until long after her little sister’s birth, and several exorcism attempts, that the Callaghans began to realize what they had done..<br><br>By then Lydia had lost her luster… She grew quieter, more introverted, and as they watched their daughter’s personality flip they began to realize they had made a horrible mistake. Sadly however, by the time they pulled the plug the damage was already done. Lydia had grown melancholy, no longer trusted her parents, and grew reclusive, even secretive. They were going to move her to a whole different school altogether when a letter arrived on their doorstep. <br><br>At first they thought it was a joke, a prank one of their friends were trying to pull off, but when more letters arrived, and by rather curious means, they had to … Well, get creative. The whole process was a complicated and interesting one, but eventually Lydia did attend Hogwarts just like everyone else. It was a terrifying experience at first, especially having to come to terms with everything - the magic, the hidden world, the anti-christian context of what she was -&nbsp; but as time went on she began to come out of her little shell and even made several friends along the way. Many of which found her ignorance of the wizarding world amusingly endearing. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Video games, Text Messages, Social Media, Procrastinating, Food, Snow, Purple, Stargazer Lilies, Astronomy, Adrenaline rushes, Gymnastics, Corned Beef, Sushi, Scotch, Vanilla ice cream, Peach Schnapps, Espresso drinks, Shiny things, lots of color, ren fairs, carnivals, amusement parks, Manga.<br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Dust, Strong smells, Phone calls, Long drawn out discussions, Elevators, Small enclosed spaces, Not-food, Hot weather, Cold Weather, Wine, being ditched, fakers, PB&amp;J, <i>most</i> anime, Carmel in her espresso drinks..., Flying on anything (Afraid). <br><br><strong>Family:</strong> <br>Father | Brian Callaghan | Accountant | 51 | Muggle<br>Mother | Katherine Callaghan | Art Dealer | 52 | Muggle<br>Sister | Yasmin Callaghan | Student | 14 | Muggle<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong><br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - O<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>Astronomy</em> - O<br><em>Divination</em> - P<br><em>History of Magic</em> - A<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - O<br><em>Herbology</em> - E<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br><em>Astronomy</em> - O<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> N/a<br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Park Hye Min<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=223897.msg10995188#msg10995188)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong><br>- Lydia has been all over the spectrum when it comes to Hogwarts. She has made friends with many of the misfits and delinquents, or those that most would consider bullies. In some people's eyes she could easily be considered a bully herself. For others, she's extremely protective. She is open for both good and bad relationships. <br>- Lydia was also completely immersed in the muggle world before Hogwarts, so many have grown up to her being waaay more amazed and new to things than they were. Some have dubbed this adorable. Others; disgusting. <br>- She was also bullied a lot more, earlier on. So some could have taken a protective role with her as well. <br><br>Lydia offers magic borne salon and stylist-esque services to certain students at a reasonable price or in exchange for favors under the brand/callsign Qilin. As she is highly skilled in what she does, and puts a significant amount of effort into designing their own special look, she only accepts a special catalog of individuals and will not work for just anyone. If anyone is interested in claiming their character was worked on by her feel free to contact me! Please note that it is not common knowledge that Lydia and the stylist Qilin are the same person.

His hair is somewhere around a chestnut brown and is usually in some amount of disarray. He grows it out and then chops it off again, not really caring too much about it. His eyes are probably one of his most striking features, though you might not notice upon first glance, they are a neutral gray that seems to change in color depending upon what he's wearing. He usually carries himself in a relaxed manner and dresses in a "business casual" sort of way unless in the company of people he feels very close to. Feeling a strong affinity to jakalopes, he found a way to acquire a tattoo of one of them. (https://mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/project_modules/1400/71b98244947483.582313e0f0732.jpg)<br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Bry would make his parents proud in many ways, especially in that he exudes the kindness that they had worked so hard to ingrain in their children. He is a hard worker, himself, and is often the first person to help someone out when they need it. The trouble is that he isn't always aware of his surroundings, as he has the occasional habit of daydreaming. <br><br>Although many aren't aware of it, another constant is his mischievous, playful nature. While he tries to keep it secret, he's been known to play the odd prank or two. He likes to tease his friends a bit but tries his best not to take it too far. Occasionally he can't help himself and causes something of minor embarrassment to one of the bullies or bigots in the school. <br><br>Academically, he tries to live up to his word and put his studies first but it can be difficult at times, as he's not the bookish type. He had to work hard to pull up a few low marks before they could come to jeopardize his participation on the quidditch team.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Bryson didn't have a tragic background. He was raised in a big family: two loving mothers, five brothers. The family had a long history at Hogwarts going back several generations. Mum and three big brothers were proud Gryffindor alumni, while he and his younger brother followed in his Oma's footsteps.<br><br>It was never hidden from any of them that they were made with the help of outside donors. In fact, "Uncle Bryce" was a good friend of the family and no one ever found anything weird about his presence at family events. His uncle spent a lot of time with his older brother, Brennan, in particular. While the boy wasn't biologically his he was a great resource and support as Brennan grew up in the magical world while being a squib.<br><br>You could never have imagined a more loving and supportive family. Oma herself was a half-blood and while Mom's family was as pure-blooded as they come, she didn't pass on a hint of their prejudice. Bryson was raised to appreciate both worlds, to find the wonder in both technology and magic. After he began at Hogwarts, his parents continued his education of the mundane world in his time away from school. They wanted him to have a thoroughly-rounded education and passed on the somewhat schmaltzy motto that the greatest magic is love and kindness.<br><br>Although he had a great understanding of muggle culture, he held little actual interest in much of it. As soon as he was able to mount a broom, his heart was taken. He was a natural at not only flying but any magic that focused on movement. His parents were amazed by how well he kept his bearings in situations where they were easily disoriented or put off guard by even extreme height. He dreamed of expensive brooms and Quiddich robes but promised his mothers that school would come first. <br><br>Aside from a small group of geeky friends at school, Bryson was somewhat unpopular in his earlier years at Hogwarts.

His body is toned from dancing, strong but not bulky. At 5'10, he's not the tallest in the bunch, but he often stands out anyway unless he goes out of his way to blend in. His sense of style could be described as metrosexual. He likes to include elements of middle-eastern design at least occasionally. He carries himself with such a supreme sense of self-worth and confidence that others often think he looks down on them, and they might be right. Ri'Staraa is always meticulously clean, unless he's forced to get his hands dirty. He has no tattoos or piercings but has a few scars if you look close enough. <br><br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Mercurial in every sense of the word, Ri can be quite difficult to be around. He flirts with anyone he feels like, sex or gender of no matter, assuming he's in the flirtatious mood. In general he is terse around people he doesn't know very well, saving the witty banter for known friends and enemies. He knows exactly what he wants from life and is not afraid to work hard to get it. When he's focused on a goal he will stop at nothing to complete it, unfortunately that single-minded determination means he can be too focused on the task at hand to catch otherwise important details around him or for his friends to gain his attention. Luckily, those times are on the rarer side and he is normally quite perceptive. He's also quite an inquisitive young thing and that curious nature often leads him into tough situations, but it also helps him gain a greater understanding of how things work. He has a knack for figuring out magical items.<br><br>He can be very impatient with others, particularly when he relies on them and they make a stupid mistake. Flighty or stupid people irritate him. He honestly feels he is better than many... if not most people, though this is not on a racial or bloodline basis but on one of skill and intelligence. However, in a professional or academic setting he tries his best to remain professional and courteous though he sees his time as worth gold so he isn't willing to spend much of it on subjects that disinterest him. Somewhere hidden on the other side of his cold stare is a soft spot for cute things.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> As a foundling, Ri was a very strange thing in France. He was left in a box merely swaddled in a blanket. It was a cliché tale that belonged in some story, another place and another time, not in the modern world. He never found a single clue about his parents and all they left him was an apology and a name. At least they had the sense to leave him near a hospital as evenings were chilly at the ass end of October. <br><br>It was a stroke of sheer luck he was placed with Chantal, a lady of wealth, talent and heart. Her occupation was as the Madame Director of the Samuel Lémieux School of Dance, which was named for her late husband. Living in Paris offered many opportunities to the boy.<br><br>With his Mama Chantal, he received 7 years of doting attention and a foundation in the world of dance. He began to show an interest in finding out about his parents when he was old enough for elementary school. While Ms. Lémieux only found dead ends on individuals in France associated with the name he came with, she did find clues on their potential cultural identities and she began to encourage Ri to learn as much as he wanted to. He found a particular niche in the small Sikh community and began learning about the religion and their traditional Gatka dance. <br><br>Unfortunately, Chantal passed on not long after that and he went from having a sense of actual family and stability to being a passed around for a while. The French foster care system was not without its faults and everyone has the odd bad apple. But when a bad apple abuses children disastrous, often permanent, consequences come about. <br><br>Ri became a runaway, avoiding every authority figure he could for 3 years. Living on the street was hard, no one thinks of a harsh life in regards to France but a homeless person dies every 20 minutes in the country. It was a very under-served and often ignored subculture. He became jaded after going from his happy home to seeing the way the dirty and destitute were treated. <br><br>It didn't matter how good he became at hiding in the shadows; he couldn't evade the authorities forever. He ended up back in the system for a year before a representative from Beauxbatons came to his new foster home. The chance to learn <em>real</em> magic was one he could not ignore. Suddenly the small, strange things that had been happening around him made sense. Why the wind died down on cold nights just when he needed it or it picked up and battered people with kicked up dust when he was angry, how Chantal's underthings seemed to dance on their own that one time... They had wondered and laughed about it and time faded their recollection into questioning it and believing it had been the wind.<br><br>Studies were taken very seriously - he wasn't about to blow this opportunity. He needed to better his life and even make Mama proud, although he never spoke of her. There was too great a mix of personalities at the great academy for him to feel comfortable and he never made many friends anyway, afraid to open up to anyone only for them to leave him again. The tournament was the first great opportunity he had and he jumped at the chance to see Hogwarts and make a name for himself. It was incredibly lucky to have just been of age at the right time. Luck just might end up being the main theme of his life, in the end.<br><br><strong>Likes:</strong><br>~ Reading<br>~ Dancing<br>~ Gourmet food<br>~ Having his ego stroked<br>~ Intelligent Conversation<br>~ Figuring out how things work <br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> <br>~ Having to get emotionally close to someone<br>~ stupid, irresponsible or flighty people<br>~ Making mistakes<br>~ Poor hygiene <br><br><strong>Family:</strong> Bological: who knows?<br><br>First foster mother | Chantal Lémieux | Dance instructor | 61 | muggle (deceased) <br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br>O - Outstanding<br>E - Exceeds Expectations<br>A - Acceptable<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br>P - Poor<br>D - Dreadful<br><del>T - Troll</del><br></div></div><br><br><br><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br><em>Charms</em> - O<br><em>Transfiguration</em> - A<br><em>Herbology</em> - A<br><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br><em>Potions</em> - E<br><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - A<br><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br><em>Divination</em> - A<br><em>History of Magic</em> - A<br><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br><br><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> N/A<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br><br><strong>Familiar:</strong> Three kittens: Zil (https://images.ecosia.org/1oYxHl4wBR7SqUScCZgghnG-WhU=/0x390/smart/http%3A%2F%2F4.bp.blogspot.com%2F-5Pub-amISCo%2FT7X89qkBkiI%2FAAAAAAAAGyE%2Fad2rWN4hB4o%2Fs1600%2Fblack_cat_2_hd_widescreen_wallpapers_10.jpeg), Mahir (https://images.ecosia.org/IyE_8Qc2hho-INb23orzkAQ_58o=/0x390/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2F736x%2F05%2F83%2F69%2F05836996c7f72c287ad227a937b03dc7--orange-tabby-kittens-tabby-cats.jpg), and Latif (http://www.golfian.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/White-Siberian-Cat-Baby-Kitten-Picture.jpg)<br><br><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Avan Jogia<br><br><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=243695.0)<br><br><strong>Notes:</strong> Ri is into things that I usually am not.

Basically, she will not admit to ever being wrong, choosing instead to ignore all possibility. This is not to say that she is NEVER incorrect but getting her to admit it is damn near impossible.</li></ul><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Born in the beautiful tourist spot of Puerta Plata to working-class parents, Catora spent her early life wandering the warm beaches and small farms that made up her immediate world. Both her mother and father worked long hours and so she was taken care of by a nanny; a certain Mme. Martine. Due to that woman's influence, by the time the girl was six or so, she spoke fluent French and English as well as Spanish and developed very proper manners, good enough to impress any person who happened to see her in public.<br><br>Though the young girl was high-spirited and quite friendly, she had a difficult time in elementary school due to countless unforeseen accidents that tended to occur whenever she was upset or angry. Children were hurt and soon enough, she was asked to move to another school as she was believed to be too mean to deal with others. Of course, this was not true; just the result of multiple accidental magic outbursts brought on by high emotion but no one ever told her. No one ever explained her differences. Everyone ignored it...so she did, too.<br><br>Just before her ninth birthday, Catora and her family left the warmth of the Dominican Republic behind and transferred to London's East end in England. Immediately, the prepubescent young lady found herself surrounded by people who were nothing like her, who made fun of her accented French or English, who teased her about her hair. This, of course, made her angry, antsy, angsty and affected the way she saw herself and others. It took quite a bit of therapy to calm her and at one point, her parents placed her on depression meds in the hopes that they would help.<br><br>They did, to a point.<br><br>Amazingly enough, on the day of Catora's 11th birthday, someone came to her home and informed her family that all of the accidents were actually magical in nature and that she was, in fact, a witch. Carlos and Johanna were relieved because NOW they had a reason for all of the oddness that surrounded their only child. As for Catora? She was excited: to meet people like her, people who could do THINGS! It was a dream come true. Of course, she still had to deal with being new to the Magical World but that was easily avoided by reading and learning everything just like the most famous Muggle-born of all time; MoM Hermione Granger.<br><br>Hogwarts became a second home to the young woman and when she finished her Junior Wizarding Education, she continued onward. After all, she had goals and they would NOT be accomplished in the Muggle world. <br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> <br><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Cats, any cat, all the cats.</li><li>Words whether reading or writing.</li><li>Cooking~ Merlin, she misses cooking...</li><li>Charms~ what she always thought Magic WAS.</li><li>Honest Laughter</li><li>Weed, Ganja, Mary Jane.</li></ul><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> <br><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Liars.

Freckles cluster together on her shoulders and cheeks, though makeup usually covers the constellations on her face. However, if one looks close enough, they would still see the hints of freckles shining through the foundation and concealer. Annie stands at the average height of 5'5" and maintains a shapely, yet slender figure. She is endowed in the chest area, though she hardly ever dresses in a way that shows it off.

She was raised in an orphanage during her childhood, where she was forced to wonder why she wasn't wanted. Not just by her biological parents, but also by hopeful parents and foster parents. At the orphanage, she learned that it was better to blend into the background, rather than stand out. The victim of quite a bit of bullying, she had to be moved around a few times, always made to feel like a burden. <br><br>Eventually she was adopted into a family at the age of eight. No one in her new family knew about magic, except for her step-sister, Suzie. When the girls discovered they could use magic, they investigated and practiced as much as they could. However, their foster parents made magic out to be evil. They didn't understand it and couldn't explain it, therefore they presumed it was a devilish work. Suzie became frightened and vowed never to use her abilities, but Annie needed to learn more about her talents.<br><br>When she was accepted into Ilvermorny and Pukwudgie house, Annie knew she was destined for the world of magic.

They certainly will never shut up about it. Pure-Bloods as far back as their records can determine, when he was born the plan was to wait until he was of the schooling age then slip him off to Europe. Durmstrang probably. However and fortunately, Uagandau - "The Mountain of the Moon"&nbsp; in Uganda - got to him first. Africa's main magical school in Uganda has some lovely traditions; for example, Hogwarts has Messenger Owls, Uadangau sends Dream Messengers leaving inscribed stones on a candidates hands while they sleep. Sometimes, they can do more than that.<br><br>Uagadau ended up feeling more like a home then home ever did and he stayed. When he graduated he just started travelling the world instead of going home. The family wasn't entirely happy with that but it's a little tradition that a couple of the young Bakkes go to Europe to find spouses to refresh the gene pool a bit. They told themselves he was just looking for a wife. Instead he traveled, saw the world, even snuck into a Muggle College and got an otherwise legitimate degree in Muggle Science, if just a BS in Physics, than found a fellow defector cousin in England and started helping with his magic research. There was an accident with an alchemy experiment, and Daniel's aging was slowed. He is Not happy about that and has been looking for a way to undo it since. More travel, more searching, more research - he's 56, he should be thinking about retirement.<br><br>Magic without Wands is considered a difficult art, as Wands help you Channel and Focus. In Uagadau though they teach the students to consider Wands to just be Tools and compared to a graduate of Hogwarts their spells known are more limited but they have greater mastery over them. So when one day someone noticed a regular at the Leaky Cauldron stirring his coffee with wandless magic <em>while reading a book</em>, on <em>Muggle Science</em> no less, word of mouth began to spread a bit and Daniel found himself with opportunities he never expected.<br><br><br><strong>Likes:</strong> Coffee | Science | An Intellectual Challenge <br><br><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Wet Socks | Prejudice | The Grip of his Family<br><br><strong>Family:</strong> The Bakkes Family has been based in South Africa since the 1700's, most of them unapologetic Afrikaners and supporters of Apartheid.

His spells tend to be smaller but are noticeably "harder, denser, and more precise", harder to dispell then you'd expect. He doesn't cast big spells, he takes small spells and adjust them to his needs for the situation.<br>

Her immediate family are no-majs and her childhood was idyllic. She spent most of her time outdoors with her brother and cousins, and like most children raised in rural, agricultural communities was expected to help with the myriad chores and labors required to maintain her parents’ ranch. <br><br>She discovered her affinity for magic around the age of 9 when a trip to a small local museum resulted in her coming into possession of her current wand. The wand was inaccurately identified as a Native American artifact and she was drawn to it immediately. After departing the museum and arriving home she found the wand on her bedside table, though to this day still has no knowledge of how it arrived there. <br><br>Unscrupulously, she decided to keep it and has since traced the provenance of the wand back through the generations to a member of her own family. The wand seems to have originated in her family in the early 19th century, perhaps as early as the late 18th and was tracked through historical registry data archived by the MACUSA. Further research revealed a magical heritage that extended back through a prominent coureur des bois out of Montreal.<br><br>Elise received her official acceptance letter to Ilvermorny and attended as a member of house Thunderbird with the full support of her parents. The initial news of her magical abilities was something of a shock, but was accepted without terrible imposition despite their conservative tendencies. As is often the case, her parents had noted qualities and occurrences from the time she was young and were ultimately grateful to have an explanation.<br><br>During her primary education at Ilvermorny she demonstrated a high aptitude for practical applications and a rare talent for exams, but lacked the discipline and focus to be a truly outstanding academic. <br><br>Her experience at Hogwarts has been much the same, where her intellectual curiosity (with rare exception) is applied to a variety of surface level topics and plenty of her academic success can be attributed to luck, charm, and bullshit. Defense Against the Dark Arts and Care of Magical Creatures are the only two subjects she spends a notable amount of time developing, and her previous “O” in Charms is wholly attributable to her determination to successfully cast a Corporeal Patronus.<br><br>Overall, she prefers to spend her time doing almost anything except for schoolwork.
