Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hi, my name is Charlotte Skye McFallon.

But I mostly go by Carter because there were two people in my grade school classes named Charlotte, and her favorite color was pink, and mine was blue, so it made sense that she kept the longer name.

I'm a female, but I'm only 11-years-old.

My birthday is April 2nd, 2054 which makes me an Ares. My mom is really into astrology, so she was literally reading my birth chart minutes after I was born to make sure she liked my chart. It's the only thing my Nana kept of my mother's.

My dream job is antiques dealer.

My blood status is Pureblood even though my Nana says that blood type doesn't matter and that we need to treat everyone as an equal. She also told me I'm not allowed to use my magic all willy-nilly, even after I graduate.

This is my First year here at Hogwarts.

I'm a member of Gryffindor house. I just hope I know how to be brave.

I'm interested in anyone and everyone.

I'm currently with nobody.

People can describe me as an introvered nerd. My love language is fun facts, such as did you know Pringles are just crushed potato flakes and not real potatoes? I love reading, probably because I was raised by my Nana, who also has her nose in a good book. Granted, she was a Ravenclaw and I hope to the Gods I'm not, because I am awful at riddles and don't want to get locked out of my dorm room all of the time (she once spelled my door to get me ready and I slept in the hall for two months straight before she finally unspelled it).
I hate mystery novels, even though they are my Nana's favorites, and would rather be reading a romance novel or playing on the swings while trying to figure out what relationships the clouds have. I guess I'm a young romantic poet
In the summer, I like making boats out of leaves and other things to see if I can get them to float all the way down the creek without having them sink. My best friend hates it because we get all muddy, but I think that is half of the fun. Being curious and dirty is the best way to live
I only have one or two really close friends. This is from the anxiety of interacting with muggles, since Nana swears she lived through the Salem Witch trials. I quote: "the entire world will turn on witches again and we will be burned again."
What do I really enjoy, though? Long walks listening to Nana. I don't talk much , but I love her stories.

My background story is
My mom was a dreamer, and my dad was a journalist, and they fell into deep, passionate lust. Yup, not love but lust. I understood that distinction when my Nana told me her daughter handed me to her and said, "Thanks, ma, I'll be back," and never came back. Granted, I never really felt the loss of either of my parents, because Papa and Nana were all I needed. Nana always made the best pie, and Papa taught me how to use tools in the shed at a young age. Both of my parents were wizards, but my nana fell for a Muggle. Pretty ironic considering her fear of Muggles.

It was their love story that made me fall in love with books and adventure. My Nana was a librarian and always talked about her life and love of knowledge. Papa was humming in the garage in his grease-stained overalls, humming some Elvis. While Nana hated muggles, she loves using their technology. I remember helping Papa completely take apart the shower and put it back together to get the perfect amount of water pressure. I was able to build a fire by hand by seven, and we always thought that maybe I would take after Papa and be the only squib in the family.

I mean, he could have used the help in the store. My Papa runs a non-magical antique store in town. I've learned a few skills about haggling, but I mainly stay in the back, restoring old items for the shelves.

But when my letter came, Nana started prepping me for classes. She read the entire Hogwarts A History book to me during our nights, which would put Papa to sleep. The worst part is, I'm not even a book learner. I prefer doing what Papa does and getting my hands dirty. Heck, even the lazy family dog prefers to get his paws dirty in the workshop with us.

I enjoy:
-Reading romance novels
-Working on the car with Papa
-Long evening walks with Nana (unless she's talking about the Salem trials again)
-Antique hunting
-Fun facts
-Painting Restoration

I despise
-People who DIY antique restorations (don't paint brick white!)
-Haggling gives me anxiety
-Riddles (don't ask me to answer one)
-Cooking (I burn water)

I'm afraid of
-Bees. I was stung once, and it was traumatizing.
-Getting caught using their magic.

My strengths are
-Painting
-Problem solving (Reference 'mechanical expertise' above)

My flaws are
-Public Speaking
-Potions (Reference 'burning water' above)

I look like Bella Ramsey.

My wand is a 11.75" Apple wood wand with a fox fur core.

My pet is a none for now

Oh yes, there's something else I need to tell you! While I was raised as a pureblood witch, I am super anxious about being discovered as a witch. So, I often forget to grab my wand while I'm just walking around outside of class. Due to my carelessness, I always carry around a black satchel filled with interesting items, a snack, a book, a textbook (per Nana's orders), a screwdriver and hammer (per Papa's orders), and my wand.
