Notes for playing Primary Tension: Where the Stage ends and Life Begins Marked by immaturity and expanding horizons.
Character development gives her everything she wanted but in all the wrong ways. Broken by gross misunderstanding of heartbreak and death.
~Dramatic--Exaggerate everything. Sparrow is a very unreliable narrator. She's like Callum. Not always positive, but always energetic. ~Mimic-- Nervous? Uncertain? Mimic something Regurgitate a line. (Relatively short term) ~Proud+ impatient--Sparrow's inspired by the future and rewrites the past as necessary, where Sona reflects on the past and looks forward. An extrovert where Sona is introverted. ~Light hearted-- Sparrow can play serious characters, but she brightens up afterwards

DREAM JOB Actress and Director CURRENT OCCUPATION Actress at the Hobgoblin Theater (Pending a few scenes)
xxx♥PERSONALITY♡xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx DRAMATICSparrow thinks that life is a musical and people should burst out into song more. As part of this, she will occasionally break into dramatic soliloquy, dress up in costumes and themes. She also tries very hard to make a fun story out of everything.
FRIENDLYSparrow is always enthusiastic to meet people, talk, and generally make new friends: She is a sponge for new stories, feelings, and perspectives, and gathers experiences like treasures. This is also how she acts: by finding an exemplar and copying.
IMPATIENT Sparrow’s hobbies and interests change regularly. While she always gives her 1129% to her current project and can hold her attention and interest long enough to master a scene or part, once mastered, she wants to be doing the next scene or thing. Long projects or rehearsals are frustrating because she has to constantly be seeing progress or become disheartened and will quickly flit to the next shiny project. On that note, she always has a few projects or extracurricular classes going on to keep her mind fresh.
OBSTINATESparrow's obstinance is the remnant of having her pride--in her lineage, herself, and her accomplishments-- disassembled: her family was killed in a senseless act of violence, she acted stubbornly and lustfully in her private life, and she spent three full years away from the theatre. Sparrow was never one to take back what she says, but will--however late-- apologize and make amends when she thinks necessary. She doesn't quite trust herself without reservation anymore but remains--once convinced of something--slow to change her mind. Her stubbornness counteracts her usual impatience, keeping her committed long enough to see her vision of a performance through.
IDEALISTIC Sparrow tends to idealize things one way or another, and for the most part she holds stubbornly onto a rose-tinted view on how things will "end up". She is enamored with ideas like generosity, poetic justice, and most of all, romance. This idealism has been tested by her breakup with Chadwick, Aria's death, her estrangement with Finley and other friends, her family's death, and her series of one-night-stands that went nowhere. But it has also been bolstered by Wren and Nim's happiness, her unexpected friendship with Callie, her reconciliation with Finley, and most of all, Cenek's constant friendship. Things will...be okay.
♥HOBBIES ■ Acting ■ Singing ■ Dancing
♥LIKES ■ Musicals and muggle films ■ Charity events-- somewhere she can just focus on doing one thing and feeling like she's actually helping someone. ■ Impromptu kareoke or dance nights at home. ■ Whatever her latest hobby is. ■ Getting into backstories
♡DISLIKES ■ Repeated messing up. Not being her usual peppy self bothers her in a way that only makes things worse. ■ Building sets ■ People holding back or treating her delicately. ■ The Wizarding Statute of Secrecy-- magic could do so much more to help ■ Not having enough hours in the day
♥STRENGTHS ■ Memorization. Sparrow is a great copycat and excels at memorizing things like lines or facts and mimicking or regurgitating them later, or copying movements. ■ Acting. Singing. Dancing. -- they might be the only things she's really stuck with but she's very good at these things.
♡WEAKNESSES ■ Acting okay-- Sparrow unfortunately puts her greatest strength to ill by acting fine--or acting on the road to recovery even when she feels like she's spiraling. Even those closest can't trust her actions to be indicative of improvement or just feigning fine. ■ Impulsive.
♥DREAMS ■ Being/ making a lasting impact in the arts. ■ Of reuniting with her family in Heaven.
♡FEARS ■ Forgetting, messing up, or causing her costars to mess up. ■ Betraying her family's memory.
xxx♥BACKSTORY♡xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ♥♡EARLY CHILDHOOD Sparrow was never sure why she was pulled out of kindergarten, but it did mean that she got to join the community’s youth acting troupe, where her curriculum emphasized subjects like Reading, Speech/ Singing, Performance, Dance/Gymnastics. These were supplemented by any assignments her mum had in other subjects. Her family’s educational philosophy was to study whatever was interesting but study well before moving on. This didn’t work well for Sparrow’s flighty mind: she chose acting as her apparent subject of focus and used it as a cover to pursue a variety of other interests. Sudden interest in horseback riding? Pitch a short skit that involved playing a cowboy, then convince her mother that she needed to learn to properly ride a horse. A season of classes would be enough to sate her interest, and as long as she didn’t fail that class, her mum would be convinced it wasn’t a complete waste.
Even though she was taught from an early age to control her magic, Sparrow didn’t really take it seriously until one day at the theatre, when she was helping to adjust a set piece. The person she was helping was working too slowly for her, so when he went to take a break, Sparrow intentionally tried to use magic to fix it--she’d seen her family do a repairing spell plenty of times before after all! Untrained, the results were nearly disastrous: the piece she was supposed to move broke, and then there was a chain reaction that ended up in a few of her friends getting hurt. Even though no one blamed her when she said she didn’t touch it, Sparrow knew it was her fault anyways and thereafter took learning about and controlling her magic much more seriously afterwards.
While her schedule didn't leave a lot of free time, Sparrow was always happy to join in on whatever her family was doing when she was home, or run off to visit with her friends. Her best friend was Aria Siddall, her neighbor and fellow witch. Sparrow kept nothing from Aria, even when their brothers suddenly stopped being friends. House parties were Sparrow's favorite event, especially since it meant socializing with other witches or wizards and gaining insight for her next performances. At one such party she met Chadwick and Cenek Knapp. It was love at first sight for her-- Chadwick was such a gentleman, but he had energy to match her, and Cenek's kindness rivaled Aria's. She was fast friends with both of them, and made no effort to conceal her affections.
Finally, finally, her own Hogwarts letter came. Sparrow was sad to leave her theatre program, but ecstatic to finally learn proper magic and go to a school where she didn't have to keep magic a secret.
♥♡SCHOOL YEARS
♥FIRST YEAR Sparrow's first year started out with a first kiss on the cheek! She had a dramatic moment throwing herself down the stairs and breaking her arm before Quidditch tryouts, and made her Drama and Music club debuts. She joined August and his Princess Rhea for Quidditch Announcing practice a few times as well. On a whim, she decided to join August in the Daily Dragon, but her initial interest in photography and nosing around led her towards the Art Club come spring semester. After befriending Willow and Aspen Hill, Sparrow affectionately dubbed Professor Hill "Professor Marshmallow". She also met and befriended the Hill's Aunt Rosalia, who had rescued her owl.
While initially Sparrow had trouble figuring out how study in this more traditional class structure, August showed her how to write short monologues discussing a particular subject. The research needed to write and preform these monologues encouraged her to do her homework and reading at least, and turned studying into rehearsal. While not the best student, Sparrow did immediately pick up on any hair-changing spells and potions. Once able, she proceeded to change her hair every few weeks.
That summer, her great-uncle died, but as a result, the entire family--everyone from both sides of her family and even relatives she hadn't known very well!--was brought together! If only they could have stayed together longer--but back home she had an adorable baby sister to fawn over. She accidentally fell asleep while hanging out with Chadwick, which led to their breakup. While Wren tried to cheer her up, she got her hair colored multicolored and had a fascinating conversation with Finley.
♡SECOND YEAR Sparrow started the year in the Herbology and Language clubs, but flitted to the Culinary Club in spring, inspired by the flavors in herbology and the variety of cultures from Language. She of course was constantly at Drama and Music as well, and continued to practice for her future acting aspirations there. She made it her mission to make Chadwick and Finley friends, and started helping Finley overcome his stage fright while acting as his hairstyling practice model!
Not long after school started, a terrible accident had killed Deepak Knapp--or had he? Dominik, his twin, seemed to think he was still alive, and taken by an angel of some sort. Sparrow was upset-- caught between wishing she knew him better and remembering that Rhea, Dominik, Deepak and her had plans to one day see the acrobatic shows in Las Vegas-- but also confused what to think. She did her best to be there to mourn with Chadwick and Cenek, but also to find ways to add a little cheer into their lives back at school.
♥THIRD YEAR Sparrow's third year was spent changing herself-- how she dressed, how she talked, how she behaved-- in pursuit of being Chadwick's ideal girlfriend. Early in the year the change was minimal--and it was then she met a little first year called Kota-- but by the end of the year she was hardly talking to boys outside of class or club and certainly not without Chadwick there. She wasn't talking as much at all, and her voice was only energetic and loud during Quidditch Announcing. The entire act was quite draining, but if this was the price for love, that was a price she had to pay... right? At first she had been very cross with Wren for breaking up with Aria, but then Aria seemed happy with Yukon, and Wren was...less grumpy with Nim. By summer Sparrow was both restlessly contemplating if her first love was true, and too tired to imagine the rest of her life without Chadwick.
♡FOURTH YEAR After yet another fight with Chadwick over whether she should take the drama club captainship, Sparrow broke up with Chadwick, this time for good. She dyed her hair pastel, got a new wardrobe, and put everything to song or dance. Most of her studies plummeted, but fueled partly by rage and and yearning, she was back to giving everything her 1129%. She learned a new song every week for music, prepared improv exercises and short scripts for drama, and got back to befriending the whole world.
♥FIFTH YEAR On August 3rd, tragedy struck next door, resulting in her best friend Aria's death. Wracked with guilt, hate, and grief, Sparrow was inconsolable at the funeral, and miserable once school started without Aria. She tried to put on a brave face for her prefect duties, but got into spiking her drinks with alcohol alongside her fellow prefect, Ashton Bardsley. Looking for a sense of connection, Sparrow spiraled further into risky sexual behaviors.
One evening, she and Yukon talked about suicide, grief, and love while drinking on the Astronomy Tower. They ended up making up the outline of a musical, and having the project to focus on helped regain a sense of normalcy. Towards the end of the year, Kenny Knolle asked her out, and Sparrow was happy to accept. She spent much of the summer hanging out with him, and between her new boyfriend, drama camp, choir, dance practice, and service projects, Sparrow found that life, bittersweetly, did continue.
♡SIXTH YEAR Sparrow started her sixth year dedicated to focusing on drama. She loved her new class lineup and had plenty of work there as well. Sparrow was momentarily afraid for Mattie Harper's parents smashing her guitar, but her exaggerated concerns were quickly calmed. Later in the year Sparrow and Cenek intervened to help Calliope Whitethorne after she was (accidentally) pranked and she ended up in a conversation with Finley-- one of few peaceful conversations the two had since Finley and Chadwick started dating.
♥SEVENTH YEAR started fantastically. Even though she and Kenny had broken up over the break, they were both excited to be friends again once back at Hogwarts. Sparrow was bustling around, learning from how her family did charity galas to organize a charity element for the Deep Sea Horrors Masquerade Ball on Halloween. The ball itself she spent dancing between friend groups, the Charity Clam booth, and trying to set up Cenek and Penelope.
At the end of the year, the Winchester Estate was burned down, killing most of her family and many guests. Sparrow herself barely escaped with a broken wand and splinched leg. She half-heartedly worked through physical therapy and the rest of the school year. In late March/ early April, content that Cenek and Penelope were finally together, Sparrow contemplated jumping off the Astronomy Tower but was distracted and comforted by a conversation with Calliope Whitethorne. She didn't feel better, but she was encouraged to keep going.
♥♡POST-GRADUATION Sparrow went home after graduation to find the damage from the massacre six months earlier almost fully repaired and restored. In a surreal daze, Sparrow went back to her room and all but locked herself in. She was tired. After months of improvement and backsliding, Sparrow attempted suicide in March 2056 by slitting her arms in the bath. She was found in time to survive and confined to St. Mungos until she started therapy. By the end of the year, she was doing somewhat better--enough to apply to The Hobgoblin Theatre..
The following year was spent in slow progress-- bursts of improvement, followed by backsliding until she found renewed effort: Professionally, not having been in contact with her friends at the Hobgoblin for 2.5 years hurt her sense of confidence and identity. Personally, thanks to her tendency to be both impulsive and idealistic, every one-night stand was "The One" and heartbreaking when proved wrong in the morning.
That is, until October 2057, when the one-night-stand was Cenek. Sparrow hated herself for doing this to him, but Cenek was calm as usual and even wanted to date. After she was sure Cenek wasn't pushing himself for sake, they finally started dating on Halloween 2057. Shortly afterwards, Cenek realized she was pregnant-- the child was the product of a previous tryst, but Cenek was committed to the child as his own. Cenek moved in to the Estate to help take care of Quark, a half-goblin who joined them in April 2058. Cementing their reconciliation before Finley's wedding on Christmas Even 2057, Sparrow asked Finley to be Quark's godfather.
Sparrow still doesn't feel very "like herself", but she is starting to realize that the last time she wasn't wrapped up in a haze of rebellion, grief, and depression was when she was 13.

Favorites Song "Defying Gravity" from Wicked, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from Mary Poppins Actresses Helena Bodham-Carter, Tilda Swinton Dream role: Hecate or Lady Macbeth in Macbeth, Saffron in a Firefly reboot. Favorite superheroes/villains: Terra, Harley Quinn Favorite Disney Princess: It used to be Snow White, but she likes Ariel's love of freedom and Anna's spunk. Clothes Asymmetrical dresses with lace, sparkles and colors. Bonus for cape. Accessory metal anklets or armlets Flower pink hibiscus. Any pink flower will do though.
Typicals Non-uniform outfit Off-the shoulder or shoulderless/ sleeveless. Handwriting: Big loops, flourishes, everything extra. Smells like flowers and rose-cherry perfume, occasionally like sawdust and paint.
Misc Wand Dogwood = vibrant, entertaining, mischievous. Preforms well under pressure. Refuses to preform nonverbal spells. Fwooper feather = “Fwooper feather wands are said to be a mark of ill omen for the wizards they bond to, as, like the birds they come from, they are rumored to slowly drive their wielder mad. Despite their poor reputation, they do well with Charms and Care of Magical Creatures. However, they have a near-inability to cast Quietus."(Pottermore’s Chosen Few)
Pink Ivory Wood = growth, change, and healing Unicorn tail core?? = consistent and loyal even if not strongest core. Veela hair = difficult to control, but in the right hands, it is well-suited to magic that affects emotions. Patronus ???? Amortentia includes paint, costumes fresh from the dry cleaners, and ## Boggart is a stage set collapsing over everyone and getting crushed in rubble. The entire thing turns into a shower of flowers instead. Chinese name: Meiyan -- Rose-swallow
Best memories
5th grade when she was cast as Úrsula in The Little Mermaid, and later that spring when University of Winchester theatre department let her play Gavroche for Les Mis. Just after opening night of the Improvisation Play in her 4th year with her as Drama Club director. Knowing she was in her element doing what she loved and had done well.
Worst memories
Watching Aria die. Running from the Estate as it burned
Goodness, but you're quite a lot, aren't you? I mean that in the best way possible, of course They'll greatly appreciate your enthusiasm in Gryffindor! Profile edits:
PROUD > OBSTINATE PROUD Sparrow is quite proud of her lineage, herself, and her accomplishments. She doesn’t take back what she says, but will apologize and make amends if she thinks necessary. She is secure in the stability of her family situation and quite confident in her ability to play whatever her role is in the coming act of her life. This assuredness has given her an ability to brush off any comments like her brother's negativity or any unhelpful criticism--after freaking out about it for a solid hour or so, of course. And assuming she correctly judges what is helpful and what is not.
Flavor edits: IDEALISTIC Sparrow tends to idealize things one way or another, and for the most part she has a rose-tinted view on how things will "end up". She is enamored with ideas like generosity, poetic justice, and most of all, romance. Her idealism may be the only thing to contrast her impatience though, as it keeps her committed long enough to see her vision of a performance through.
Likes: ■ Parties. Especially the ones at her house because then she gets to see what other good things people are up to and show them around. ■ Shopping for clothes or gifts
Dislikes: ■ Sopranos. All the adults keep saying her voice will get higher, but she’s been on the planet for over a decade and it still hasn’t. Forget that, she isn’t even sure she wants to be a soprano. But sopranos get all the good parts and it’s not fair. ■ The Wizarding Statute of Secrecy-- why can’t she tell her muggle friends about magic?
Strengths ■ Has a lot of energy..
Weaknesses ■ Does not shut up-- It’s probably pretty annoying.
Dreams ■ Joining a magical acting troupe (or starting her own), writing her own plays, having her own theatre, being/ making a lasting impact in the arts. ■ Her friends and siblings getting having wonderful romances and gorgeous weddings she can plan
Fears ■ Hurting other people.

OWLs
CORE Astronomy ~ A
Sparrow mostly enjoyed Astronomy for having something to talk about in summer and winter while stargazing with her grandparents. Astronomy was not Sparrow’s best subject, but memorizing constellation names and planet facts was amongst the easier things she had to study for.
Charms ~ A
Charms work was great for set building or just everyday doing things: Sparrow got plenty of practice from the sonorous charm for quidditch announcing to hot air spell for drying her hair. She practiced the movements diligently, fitting the way she cast them to fit whatever character she was playing. She did however, rely very heavily on memorization, and beyond basic spell theory, her written sections left something to be desired. There were dramatic differences in the quality of her practical, from weak versions of some spells to perfect control with others. Overall Sparrow just missed the mark for an E but was eager to continue.
Defense Against the Dark Arts ~ A
Protecting herself and friends from dark creatures was definitely admirable but would have to be left for someone more proficient. Sparrow knew enough about the various dark creatures to know roughly what each did, but not enough as to immediately be able to identify and repel one. She had a few fundamental spells mastered, like lumos, flipendo, and riddikulus but struggled with the more complex or advanced spells.
Herbology ~ A
Sparrow was pretty terrible at Herbology, confusing everything with everything else and mixing up care and uses and everything. But between her good friend Willow's help, BigSis Aspen’s explanations, her aunt Verine’s tutoring, and even Wren’s reluctant advice, Sparrow had the support she needed to at least make (mostly) comprehensible answers for the OWL. Her practical skills were better--even if she didn’t always know what needed to be done, she could perform an action competently. And no matter what, Sparrow conversed with the plants, feeding them gossip and good vibes like she would any other friend.
History of Magic ~ O
Sparrow loved listening to stories, and history provided great context for stories--it was the story of stories! She appreciated how Professor Powell explained things and while she struggled a little to memorize everything her first two years, her cousin August would occasionally take something that was difficult for her to understand and imagine it as a scene, which she would gleefully memorize to perform. Since then, whenever Sparrow had trouble with something in History she would employ this technique and make a short scene to understand what was going on that led to events happening. Sometimes her scene-writing required extra reading or research into an event or character, and her efforts to gain thorough understandings of characters of scenes never went unrewarded. With each part she played, Sparrow also found learning the historical context extraordinarily informative which only further motivated her to learn more.
Potions ~ P
P was for Potions, so that worked, right? Potions had never been Sparrow’s strongest subject. She improved greatly from being sent to her aunt’s potioneer office for “boot camp” for a few hours every weekend over summer break, but she mostly liked watching Wren or Aunt Verine do their work. Sparrow never had a problem with memorizing procedures, but she had a tendency for just adding a little extra of everything or assuming anything that looked alike functioned alike. Once they got to the more advanced potions, she stopped really knowing what she was doing. For the OWL she did admirably on the written portion, and managed to make a potion. It was not the potion she was supposed to make, and it may have been poisonous, but at least it didn’t melt her cauldron!
Transfiguration ~ A
Sparrow always struggled with Transfiguration. She could never quite keep up with the mathematical aspects of the subject, even if she very much wanted to learn the subject so she could transfigure herself. She was though, excellent at self-transfiguring her hair different colors and had memorized a bunch of facts about edge cases in transfiguration and animagus facts. Unfortunately, everything else was a wash. After receiving only an A, she pleaded with Professor Drage and Professor Harlowe to continue Transfiguration: self-transfiguration and possibly even an animagus form were dreams of hers! She promised to review everything on the exam and show up to at least an hour of extra tutoring sixth and seventh year but the powers of transfiguration in theatre and just general theatrics were too important for her to give up now!
ELECTIVES Art~ A
Sparrow was not a visual artist but performing arts were her entire life. She took art mostly for the art history and art theory, and to better understand aesthetics that might go into period pieces or costume work. Her blob-people sketches were nothing admirable but she did take the magic behind them seriously.
Care of Magical Creatures ~ E
Taken because it sounded fun (and because Wren said for her owl’s sake) Care of Magical Creatures helped Sparrow learn not only about magical creatures but how to better care for herself. Sparrow considered herself a friend to everything, and Creatures was one of those rare classes where instead of relying on brute-force memorizing, she just had fun and learned a bunch somewhere along the way. While her work the first few years was hit and miss, she stuck with it, liked it even more after learning of all the uses of animal ingredients in potions or wandlore, and got much better.
Ghoul and Ghost Studies ~ P
Taken initially because Sparrow thought it would be an opportunity to listen to ghost stories and talk to ghosts, Ghouls and Ghosts was a hard subject for Sparrow that she made work. She gained an appreciation for ghost stories from the class, but often her attention wandered. After her best friend died just before fifth year, everything suddenly had Aria’s face and suddenly every kind of dead they reviewed was a little too personal. Studying was painful this year and she showed up a little tipsy to the exam and ended up missing the mark for a passing grade.
Healing Class ~ E
Sparrow’s recklessness had a tendency to get her in scrapes. She took healing thinking she could learn enough to do first aid at least. Sparrow’s spellcasting was fine, but her potions were usually hazardous, and much of the intricacies of healing theory eluded her. She barely passed the first year and hung in there only because Aria, her neighbor and childhood friend--excelled in the class and wanted to be a healer. Sparrow continued the subject after Aria’s death out of honor for her friend, affection for Professor Ivers, and a sheer determination to be able to be useful if any of her friends or family were in danger again. She did only decently well on the written and actual healing, but what landed her the solid E was her ability to comfort and communicate during the practical, quickly reading their emotions, anticipating their questions, and working as she chatted.
Muggle Studies ~ O
Inspired by her love of muggle musicals and film and a childhood spent in muggle theatre camps, Sparrow took Muggle Studies thinking that she might want to spend a career in the Muggle world. By her fifth year she knew firmly that she enjoyed and wanted to be in magical musical theatre, but still put in effort for the class. Her compassion and eagerness to understand alternate reasonings helped greatly and gave everything her 1129%, even on simple, seemingly obvious assignments.
Music ~ O
There was no way Sparrow was not taking music. If the constant humming or singing wasn’t enough indication, Sparrow was always doing something musical. Music theory had been a nontrivial part of her elementary education, and by the time they discussed it at Hogwarts, Sparrow had matured enough to take it seriously. She was only a beginner at the piano, but her vocal range and control was impressive, and she eagerly embraced any new or different styles of music.
Mythology ~ E
Even more stories! As with History and Music, Sparrow found every opportunity possible to infuse little references and nods to mythological stories wherever she could. She did tend to remember the most dramatic or exciting version of stories, and sometimes added her own flair or detail. Overall Sparrow did wonderfully on the exam, but she lost a few points for analyses that were sometimes a little too optimistic or were just shy of complete.
Wandless Magic Practice Class~ E
As much as Sparrow loved her fwooper feather wand, she recognized the importance of being able to cast magic without a wand, especially if she wanted to do so during more complicated dance sets or scenes. She found it an excellent skill to weave into dance practice and got plenty of practice.
Wandlore Studies ~ A
Sparrow initially took Wandlore for the sole reason that her then-beloved Chadwick aspired to be a wandmaker. Sparrow really struggled with Wandlore the first year and nearly dropped it after breaking up with Chadwick, but found the connections to her Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology knowledge fascinating. She also liked being able to talk to Wren about his work, and found memorizing the different properties simple if not particularly fascinating. Sparrow astutely decided that she would not be continuing past the OWL level and with minimal studying, she managed a solidly acceptable grade.

NEWTs
CORE Charms ~ A
Sparrow’s charmswork had always been exactly adequate: She used it to help build sets, to change her hair color every week, to change her outfit colors, or to just do simple everyday tasks, which afforded her plenty of practice, even when was too tired and miserable to do anything else. Her new wand also lent a kind of stability that Sparrow needed after seeing so much death, and proved more adept at handling nonverbal spells than her old one had; given her recent experiences, it was a small comfort and encouragement. Sparrow learned from that stability, and after a few weeks of struggling with her new wand, she found her charmswork more consistent and fluid than it had ever been. This improvement on the practical largely carried her grade, because her charms theory was not much to regard.
Herbology ~ D
Sparrow had never been great at Herbology, despite her efforts to get better. She had plenty of tutoring support and help, but just kind of...tuned most of it out in the last sixth months. Her practical suffered the most, as she had nothing but mournful whispers and misery radiating off of her. She could hardly remember to water herself most days, much less her plants.
History of Magic ~ O
Sparrow’s view on history changed dramatically as she searched for reasons and faults in the historical-political climate that killed not only her best friend but most of her parents and grandparents. She could memorize details and find connections to make history weave into a sensible story, even if the themes of that story were misery and death. Finally, even when not desperately searching for a bigger picture to blame, she was applying her knowledge in history to creative scripts, making sure the logics of fiction fell in line with the themes and concepts that repeated through history.
Transfiguration ~A
Sparrow put a very serious effort into Transfiguration her sixth year, honoring her promise to attend at least an extra hour of transfiguration office hours every week. She had begged to continue because she wanted, very much, to master human transfiguration. She was doing better and better and managed to complete many of the self-transfiguration spells. Although she sat in on the Animagus class, she was deterred from attempting the process given her abysmal potions skills. The second half of her seventh year was more or less a daze. She upheld her promise to attend office hours though, and managed to keep up at least. While Transfiguration was always a difficult subject for Sparrow, she did her best and earned every point of that A.
ELECTIVES Art: A
Sparrow’s dedication to all things theatre gave her motivation to sit through Art and learn. She found ways to apply art theory into her everyday drama leadership, applying a very colorful, Sparrowful touch to costuming, ticket bills, and just general aesthetics. Her original artwork was unremarkable, but she understood the magic behind them sufficiently.
Care of Magical Creatures ~ E
Emotionally hurt over the last few years by the deaths of her friends and family, Sparrow spent more and more time alone, but could not completely avoid social things. She found solace with her and her friends’ pets when she had nothing else to say, and befriending them gave her more practice and opportunity to use what she learned about magical creature care. Care of Magical Creatures had always been a class Sparrow didn’t really study for like a class, but just had fun with learning. As usual, it certainly didn’t help her homework, but she learned surprisingly much.
Healing Class ~ D
NEWT level healing was nowhere as understandable without Aria and she would have long dropped the class if not for enjoying the class, Cenek’s presence, and the bitter premonition she would regret it if she dropped out. Seventh year she lost much of her motivation to do anything at all, and healing in particular seemed to go right through her. The spells seemed hollow to her, even if she did manage to perform them correctly she couldn’t quite understand how to express them. With her potions still abysmal and her knowledge and healing spellwork only slightly better than OWL level, the only thing that prevented her from just getting a troll was her ability to correctly and comfortingly communicate a simple diagnosis.
Muggle Studies ~ E
Sparrow continued Muggle Studies class solely to understand better how to write about Muggle experiences and to enjoy muggle literature. She did well enough on most aspects of the class and exam, but just missed the O due to getting carried away writing an answer to a film and art question and not leaving time to finish the full exam.
Music ~ O
By the time for NEWTs, Sparrow’s musical style for her own compositions had changed dramatically for a more somber, subtle tone, but her proficiency, vocal control, and understanding of musical techniques had only improved. Her piano playing was barely usable, but her vocal range and control had continued to develop admirably. With 4 years as Drama Club director. the last 2 years of original musical development, and continued participation in theatre over the breaks, Sparrow was more than well prepared for music. She didn't feel very much like she was worthwhile, but her NEWT performance was tear-jerking and heart-rending.
Mythology ~ O
The creative performance and storytelling aspect of the Mythology NEWT was exactly what Sparrow was built for, from memorizing myths to retelling. Her analyses were better highlighted in performance than in plain essay form, and with age and the advanced classes her analyses gained depth. For the NEWT performance, Sparrow quickly adapted a few songs from Hadestown, grabbed a few props to differentiate between characters, and preformed a magical retelling and one-woman short performance—with perfectly done voices and sound effects— of the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice.
Wandless Magic Practice Class~ A
Most spells that Sparrow used on a daily basis she could probably do wandlessly, although she always preferred having a wand for anything beyond these simple daily charms. She put a strong effort her final year into making her spellcasting more consistent, and this carried over to her wandless magic as well. She wasn’t winning duels without her wand, but she could adequately hold her own and do her everyday work without a wand if needed.
