accepted by figgy GENERAL Name: Saxon Scarlett Seabrooke
Gender: Female
Birthday: May 21st
House: Hufflepuff
Blood Status: Mixed
Wand: Unicorn hair, Cherry, 10"
Wand Hand: Right PERSONALITY General: Simply put Saxon is a girl who knows what she wants out of life. She is very driven but it is weighed out in the long run by what she does. If it comes down to her happiness or a friend’s it will always be the friends. She has been known to give her friends money when she doesn’t have a lot, just so they can have some. She is smart, however she isn’t an A++ student. She has been known to get a few C’s but always A’s in Care of magical Creatures. Saxon is boy crazy…likes to look at pictures of hot men and rippling abs… but as soon as she is put face to face to one she turns bright red. She sometimes turns into a stuttering ball of girly ness.
Habits: She has to walk the same way to class everyday because she is paranoid about getting lost. She puts her books in order from z-a, it’s just to make people ask questions. Her books still get organized and she can find them easily. She has an extensive romance novel collection. Her mother reads them and so when she was 13 she picked one up. She was hooked ever since. She chews her nails and tears them when nervous. She also tends to nibble her lips.
Hobbies: Drawing, Singing, Animal caretaking.
Likes: Animals, Music and Playing clarinet
Dislikes:mean people, the number 41, a blank piece of paper. FAMILY Mother: Bella Seabrooke/ Mixed/ Hufflepuff
Father: Chance Seabrooke/ Mixed/ Hufflepuff
Siblings: none
Extended Family: none
Relationship with Family: Pretty good. She likes her parents well enough. They don’t beat her and she does what they ask. No problems. HISTORY General History: Not much to tell. She grew up in south London with the life of a normal child. Both her parents are magical so she got an owl. She has known what it is to want for something… but she learned her work ethic from that… and she is somewhat more spoiled by her parents because she likes them…
Animagus: She started working on becoming an Animagus when she was told by the Transfiguration professor in third year that it was possible to communicate with animals via animagus. She worked day and night forgoing her homework in favor to study herself and the ways of an animagus. It wasn’t till middle of her fourth year that it happened. She changed into a bear. She had thought she would be a bulldog since that was what her patronous came out as… but as far as she can figure, she trusted her pet bulldog to protect her more than herself, which is close to bear traits.
(Read more in her rp response, Will be posted in her journal)
She has lots of animals at home. 47 fish, give or take a few on any given day… be it new are born or some die. She has a Bulldog that she loves and she also has two cats and another dog, a poodle.
MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting: “Hufflepuff!”
Saxon smiled. Both her parents had been Hufflepuffs no surprises for her. She headed to the table and settled next to a small girl. She grinned. She was going to like school.

Notes from Caffe: Alright before i approve. First is a point you brought up in thread. There is a school in Salem so she wouldn't be at hogwarts if she still lives in the US... That said... There are ways around this. If you can figure one out and run with it, living in America isn't an automatic nono. But i need to see it here before it can be approved ^^ Also just mild notes of correction. The mirror doesn't show he future... you got the part of that it shows her greatest desire right... just not the future part. ^^ And im curious to know what is her deepest fear that she would see via the boggart?
Her grandfather Herbert told her of Hogwarts the summer she turned 9, each summer she and her siblilings spent it in England. The tales he told her enthralled her to no end and after she stumbled into her father's study, saw the talking paper, she was told of her families true heritage. Her grandparents want her to carry on tradition and go to Hogwarts as everyone in their family line has, I am unsure of how to twist it to where she receives the invitation but I am thinking at her maternal grandparents home. Greatest fear is losing her sister, I added that in and fixed the Mirror. Hope this is right.
Accepted by Caffe!
Notes: Looks Good!

Gender: Female
Birthday: August 29th
House: Gryffindor
Blood Status: Mixed (let me know if this is wrong)
Wand: 11 in, Pear Wood with Dragon Heart String.
Wand Hand: Right
PERSONALITYGeneral: Zarabeth is a very intelligent, well mannered, personable and overall happy young girl. She gets along with just about everyone, enjoys helping those who need it especially with academics, enjoys being outside in the fresh air and loves playing with her cat. You become her friend you have a friend for life, she is very loyal.
Her parents could not afford to spoil her as they wished, but they spoiled her with love. She believes herself to be the richest of all at Hogwarts due to this. Her parents love is boundless, something she knows she can always count on.
Habits: Sits outside during the day to read, once it turns cold she prefers to be next to a warm fire. Constantly fiddles with her glasses, they drive her nuts. Chews on her writing instrument when thinking and may tap it instead in a steady rhythm.
Hobbies: Reading, writing in her journal. She prefers to be alone and enjoy her solitude hence her hobbies are the ones that require herself and nothing more.
Likes: Books, she can never read enough. Journals you will rarely see her without hers. Cats, sweet treats and the color red.
Dislikes: Sour things, rats, polka dots, snow, mean, sneaky and untrustworthy people and most of all she can not stand a liar.
FAMILYMother: Elizabete Arla (Harnogh) Chessington Ravenclaw House
Father: Sebastin Mikal Chessington Ravenclaw House
Siblings: Charity Rose Chessington, Michal R. Chessington and Lydia Anne Chessington
Extended Family: Grandparents: Anna (Reynalds) Harnogh, Herbert Harnogh, Hufflepuff House Maraya Lynne (Yardsley) Chessington and Melton S. Chessington, Slytherin House
Relationship with Family: Zarabeth is the apple of her parents eye. She is the oldest, then Charity Rose, Michal and Lydia. She adores her sibilings especially Charity. She is really close to her, and misses her dreadfully already being apart from her. Her parents are wonderful, sweet and loving to her. She never goes without what she needs though her wants can sometimes be forgotten. Money is not a high issue but with 4 children it can be difficult to give the extra they ask for. Zarabeth does not mind, she has their love and the love of her sibilings she has all she can ever ask for. (think the Waltons at Hogwarts!)) HISTORYGeneral History: Zarabeth's family is a very close knit one, being born in the Southern United States of America. Her father was transferred to this country before she was born though she was not sure why, his job was one he has kept secret and she never delved into his personal life that was being disrespectful. If he wanted her or her siblings to know he would tell them. Though he has always said "The day shall come when we return to England until then we will enjoy our life here" and that was all he would say on the subject. Zarabeth and her siblilings would spend the summers with her Grandparents in England. She loved the time there, so different from the living in the Unites States. Her grandfather Herbert would tell her tales of magical beings that enthralled her. This is how she learned of Hogwarts the summer she turned 9. He explained what it was and how it was different from the school in Salem, USA. The family line has always went to Hogwarts and he wanted her to uphold the tradition, which she readily agreed. Zarabeth's life is full of love, learning and family. That is all she knows and she adores it that way. Being raised in the South has given her a outlook she may not have had growing up in England one she treasures. She was told of her family's wizardry when she was 8 years old when she was in a rush to talk to her father and ran into his study and saw a piece of paper literally floating in the air like a gush of wind was supporting it. Shocking her the paper actually spoke! She stood there stunned and that is when the family's heritage was revealed to her. Each one of her sibilings will be told at the same age to keep the tradition, so far only her younger sister Charity knows of their heritage though her brother Michal will be turning 8 this year so he will also be told. MISCELLANEOUSThe Sorting: Zarabeth stumbled into the great hall behind all the other first year's and was amazed at her surroundings. It was astounding for as far as she could see was tables that had banners floating above them denoting their respective houses. Off to the sides of the walls, were chairs. The person who led them inside waved a hand towards them and said everyone take a seat. When your name is called, stand and make your way to the diases and be seated to await the sorting hat.
Swallowing hard she hoped she would end up in any house by Slytherin. The mere mention of the name sent shivers up and down her spine, she was terrifed for some unknown reason. Sitting quickly, she patiently awaited her turn. So far everyone that has went before her was either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. She took this a a sign that Slytherin may be the next house called. Closing her eyes she silently prayed her name was not called when she heard Zarabeth Grace Chessington, stand and approach she quickly opened her eyes stood and made her way to the diases. Sitting herself on the stool she tried in vain to slow her breathing down. Thoughts of Slytherin and being around those type of students made her fear spike and her heartbeat speed up. The hat was suddenly placed on her head and it spoke in a soft tone My.. what a scared young lady you are....your heart my dear is it beating so fast I can barely sense your feelings...you must relax. Allow your mind to clear do not think of your fears, think of something that will calm you. She swallowed and thought of her sister Charity Rose and her swinging on a old swing her father had made for them laughing and talking about Hogwarts. Their hopes and dreams of which house they would be chosen to, how well they would do and how proud their parents would be.
My choice for you is...Gryffindor! You will do well in this house young one. and with that Zarabeth breathed deeply, stood and made her way over to the Gryffindor table and sat down. Looking up she saw a female Professor smile warmly at her hence she returned one of her own. She felt like she had finally come home.
Boggart: These creatures terrify Zarabeth, she never ever wants to encounter one. Her deepest fear manifested in front of her she would not be able to handle it. Her deepest fear is losing her sister, Charity. That terrifies her more than any creature in the magical world, she would face anything, any obstacle to ensure her sister's safety.
Mirror of Erised: Zarabeth dreamed of the chance to stand in front of the Mirror to see if her most cherished hope would be granted. Her most cherished hope was she would make her family proud of her during her time at Hogwarts and that is what she wished to see.

Greatest Treasure: Her family's love. It's not something she can carry in her hands or place in a box, but its locked away in her heart.

Notes: She looks good just make sure to keep in mind, electronics don't work at hogwarts. So all her electronic or computer likes cant be rpd unless doing an out of hogwarts rp ^^  GENERALName: Jaquelynn Alyssa Brandywine
Gender: Female
Birthday: 12 July
House: Hufflepuff
Blood Status: Mixed
Wand: 11 inches/Willow/Phoenix Feather/Slightly Yielding
Wand Hand: Right PERSONALITY General: Awkward and shy for the most part. She enjoys making friends but often has trouble talking to strangers without tripping over her own words. Loves animals and finds it easier to talk to them than to humans. If an animal is in trouble she can somehow swallow all her anxiety and get extremely defensive of it's rights - isn't afraid to fight for animal rights when she feels it's necessary.
Habits: Often wanders off on her own if she gets too anxious in certain situations. Tends to talk to animals in the way you'd expect she'd talk to close friends or even children. Sometimes even talks to herself. Twirls her hair or twiddles her fingers when nervous.
Hobbies: Outside of hogwarts she enjoys photography, gaming and other muggle things, and when she's at school she enjoys training her parrot and watching the magical creatures that are kept on the grounds.
Likes: Animals, nature, practising spells, muggle invented things like: cosplay and online gaming. Loves to spend time with close friends who she trusts and family who make her feel safe.
Dislikes: Bullies, people in general - unless you are really sweet and non threatening, animal cruelty, homework, studying, darkness. FAMILY Mother: Olivia Brandywine - Muggle
Father: Martin Brandywine- Half-blood
Siblings: Only child.
Extended Family: Grandmother on her father's side: Ivy Brandywine - Pureblood
Granddad on her father's side: Jasper Brandywine - Muggle
Relationship with Family: Very close despite her parents being so overprotective. She cares deeply about her family.
HISTORY
General History: Jaquelynn's parents moved to London from Australia when she was a small child. They wanted her to have access to Hogwarts when the time came for her to go to a wizarding school; as they had heard it was the best out there. As a result she has a mixture of an Australian and British accent.
Jaquelynn's parents were very protective of their little girl and this is probably the cause of her current nervous tenancies. She was always very close with her dad and they would often visit museums and see movies and shows together. Her mother is an anxious lady who constantly worries about her daughter, but it's only because she loves her.
When the day came when she was to receive her letter Jaquelynn was overcome with nerves. She was keen to go to Hogwarts but the idea of having to make all new friends and being surrounded by strangers freaked her out to the extreme. What if nobody liked her? What would she do if she was terrible at all her classes? What if the teachers hated her? Would she be too nervous to make any friends? These kinds of questions swam through her mind from the second she opened her letter. About the only positive thing she could focus on was seeing all the magical creatures and getting a chance to study them. MISCELLANEOUS Boggart: The boggart comes out and shrowds her in darkness. Jaquelynn is terrified of the dark, and being alone in the dark is her worst fear.
Mirror of Erised: The mirror shows her surrounded by everyone she loves and cares about, also with several animals gathered around her as she is the happiest around animals.

Patronus: Red Fox
Greatest Treasure: Her pet - a Ringneck parrot (will get him through customs).
Manner of Dress: Outside of school she enjoys wearing girly clothes. Often lolita style black dresses with cat ears if she's going out to a convention or somewhere special. Casual clothes tend to be jeans or shorts with a pretty top. She's a tiny bit chubby round her middle and wears things to hide this wherever possible.
Favorite Class: Care of magical Creatures/Transfiguration
Worst Class: History of Magic - History sends her mind wandering elsewhere.

Notes:One thing that needs to be changed is either... Her wand core needs to be one of the main three, Dragon heartstring, unicorn or phoenix feather, since those are the only that Ollivander uses. Or define that she did not get it from Ollivander and how she got it... I have read that they are usually passed down from an older generation... And rarely comes new... so you should keep that idea in mind. But aside from that she is Accepted ^^ Oops sorry about that! I was going off a wand building website and was just picking what seemed to mesh well with her character. I will change it to Dragon Heartstring, it works just as well! <3 Perfect ^^  GENERAL Name: Lillia Avery Hollingberry
Gender: Female
Birthday: October 31st
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Mixed Blood
Wand: 10", Ebony wood with Dragon Heartstring core - Unyeilding
Wand Hand: Right PERSONALITY General: Lillia, or Avery as she prefers to be addressed by, is a rather tom boyish girl, heavy into sports and games or anything one could argue as being 'not girly'. The only exception is in her style of dress, where she will more often than not dress 'nice' and not in baggy shorts or 'sports tee's '
Because of her love for sports of all kinds, magical or muggle, she is very competitive, always aiming for first place, second place being only barley acceptable and anything below that is a huge disappointment.
She tends to be very headstrong and quite set in her ways. Once she has made up her mind to do or accomplish something, nothing is going to stop her, even if it takes her several tries to do so.
Avery is always moving, always trying to stay active so to keep herself fit and in shape to be able to play (and play well) the sports and activities she loves, making her seem as if she has a never ending supply of energy. Even if she is gasping for air, she wants to keep going and keep pushing, (though will usually give in to a soft patch of grass or a nice blanket). She will often toss playful 'insults' at her friends when they act lazy or are ready to give up on something when she isn't.
Habits: 'Forgetting she is a girl', sitting with her legs spread, flopping down on couches or seats in un-lady like fashion, belching loudly, acting rough and rowdy, flipping her hair from one side of her head to the other by thrusting her head to one side, being active in general and getting heavily into sports talk and debate.
Hobbies: Quidditch, flying on her broom, playing competitive sport like games with her muggle/half blood relatives/friends, baby talking to her Rainbow boa constrictor snake and dressing him up in dresses and matching hats. (She was told, upon purchase, that he was a she...and so now tortures him with girly clothes)
Likes: Sports of all kinds, rough housing, getting to go home on holidays, playing outside or being outside, flying, flying fast, bright sunny days, soft green grass, reptiles, bugs, streaking her hair bright colors, drinking and eating healthy, being loud and noisy.
Dislikes: Laziness, rainy days, being away from her family, excessive amounts of homework, not being able to run, having to stay quiet, being beaten in competitions, having to study for her least favorite subjects, others getting scared or girly squealing over bugs and scaled critters, dresses. FAMILY Mother: Marina Rose McKallin (Now Hollingberry) / Mixed Blood / Slytherin / Muggle blood is farther back in her family line.
Father: Jaxon Luke Hollingberry / Half Blood / Ravenclaw / Muggle mother, wizard father, has two muggle brothers.
Siblings: Markus Luke Hollingberry / Younger Brother / Mixed / Ravenclaw (eventual quest in future)
Extended Family: Uncle Jay (Kevin Jay) and Uncle Larry (Larry Scott), her father's two muggle brothers and most favorite uncles of "ALL. TIME." as she says.
Relationship with Family: Very close. They often have loud and crazy family gatherings at Uncle Jay's house to watch muggle sports on his large screen TV.
HISTORY General History:
When Avery's parents were in school, Marina was sorted into Slytherin and Jaxon into Ravenclaw. The two started out as friendly 'rivals' both on the Quidditch field and off. As they grew and progressed through their years, they grew closer, often teaching each other new tricks or moves (but never giving away their team's secret weapons!) and by their seventh year, were engaged. They married three years after graduating, after having found stable jobs and settled down to start a family. Nine months later, Lillia Avery was born, her parent's number one pride a joy. Six years later, their son, Markus Luke was born and everything seemed perfect.
Avery and her family grew up in London England, as far back as her family can remember. Being a close tight knit family through out the ages, moving across the globe was never really something in mind. They were all quite happy to stay put where they could visit and see each other any time they wanted. In fact, it was preferred. Family gatherings have been and are still a heavy occurrence and the Hollingberry's are known for throwing loud crazy parties.
MISCELLANEOUS Boggart: As the boggart slowly came slinking out, its form would already be twisting into a long flowing, flaming hot pink dress with long wiggly arms, floating around like a ghost, ready to snatch her up and don itself upon her. Her Riddikulus charm would turn it into her pet snake, Beau, wearing the dress with a matching bonnet, of which she might just coo over and try to stow away inside her shirt.
Mirror of Erised: As she peers into the mirror, she would see herself as the captain and star of her very own world league Quidditch team. Their most beloved and star player whose earned them countless upon countless numbers of trophies over the years.EXTRA CREDIT Everything in this section is completely optional, but if you feel like going above and beyond the above required sections, this is for you! You can pick and choose which ones to fill out or not. Feel free to cut this section out of your form or just leave it blank if you opt not to fill it out.
The Sorting: Lillia Avery's eyes lit up as her name was called next to be sorted. She smiled, taking in a deep breath to attempt to calm the nervous excitement bubbling in her core and strolled up to the seat with a broad grin on her face. Sitting down, she glanced up as best she could without moving her head to try to peer at the sorting hat as it descended down over her head.
She bit back a laugh as it began to wiggle a bit while talking. She was remembering the conversation she had with her parents the day before she had left for Hogwarts. They playfully bickered over which house their daughter would be in. Her father betting one plate of nacho's that Avery would be in Ravenclaw just like her good ol' dad. Her mother laughed, her eyes twinkling almost mysteriously. She bet one plate of nachos and two corn dogs that Avery would be in Slytherin. McKallin girls with magic had a way of being sorted into Slytherin and her little Ava has a lot of McKallin in her.
Avery snerked and bit her bottom lip at the memory. Which parent would claim bragging rights? She'd find out in a second.
"An antsy child, hmm I've had your kind before. Can't sit still for one second... lots of determination too yess, but also cunning... very cunning. Must be.. SLYTHERIN!" the hat shouted.
Avery leaped from the stool quickly giving a sharp fist pump to the sky and letting out a loud "AWWWYEAH!" . The corners of her mouth twitched and stretched as far as they could into a huge grin. Her mom was right! Her dad would be eating it tonight! She let out a gut busting laugh as she darted over to the Slytherin table to meet her new house mates. "Names Avery, sup guys!"
Patronus: A snake, much like her familiar, Beauregard.
Greatest Treasure: 1952, near mint condition, Mickey Mantle baseball card, given to her by her Grandfather (from her father's side) just before he passed away. It's what inspired her to start her own collection and she keeps it tucked away somewhere super secret that not even her snake knows about.
Manner of Dress: Prefers to wear nice feminine cut shirts or blouses but usually with jean shorts or cut offs and comfortable shoes she can run in. She keeps the sides of her hair buzzed, leaving her with a long white and pink striped 'hawk' she can flip from one side to the other.
Favorite Class: Defense against the Dark Arts because, to her, its thrilling, interesting and almost like sports and aims to master as many defense spells as she possibly can so that she can always protect her friends and family.
Worst Class: Herbology... because really... plants? Yawn fest! Only good part is when she's able to get dirty! Or toss a sneak mud ball or two behind the professors back.

Notes from Cynny:Before I approve her, I really want to make sure that you understand that she is eleven, and she should not be as sexualized as you are making her out to be. Being flirty and outgoing is fine, but the majority of eleven-year-old girls are not going to be flirting shamlessly and dressing provocatively on a regular basis. You need to tone this down to an age-appropriate level before I can approve this for you.
Also, we would prefer her Boggart and Mirror of Erised sections should be small solo roleplays, not just statements like they are now.
Why is her patronus and ocelot? Generally these are linked to what the character feels protected by, so is there a reason she feels close to ocelots? Along these same lines, why is her journal her greatest treasure? You touch on it briefly in her personality, but you should expand on it a bit here.
Again, the makeup is another thing that might need to be altered. Most eleven-year-olds don't wear a lot of makeup, and she doesn't seem to, but just think about it.
Why does she deny liking Care of Magical Creatures? Is she biased against it, or feel that it makes her a nerd? This needs some elaboration.
Secondary Notes from Caffe: I agree with Cynny that the flirting and generally more adult themes need to be pulled back. However just touching on the second part of her notes. While they are all good ideas on expanding... They have never been reasons for not being approved before. Especially the parts in the Extra credit as those are optional...
The boggart and Mirror both, we usually look for more but others have been approved with less. *points to most of my characters approvals* So tone her adultness down and then she very well would be approval ready ^^Approved by Cynnybun!This is much better!
I get where you were going with her having some issues, but we do need to keep site rules in mind. u v u <3 Have fun! GENERALName: Ameria Shyan Kinlan

She is a social person with almost everyone but she likes to keep only a small group of actual friends. She is extremely talkative and sometimes she is a little too honest. Her brother is her best friend but she tries to avoid talking with him anytime someone is around. She loves animals a lot more than she lets on. Her passion in life is actually writing but she never admits it to anyone. She has a journal that she keeps hidden that she writes in everyday. She is all about details and is very interested in studying people and her surroundings.
Habits: She has a bad habit of craving attention. She doesn't have a filter, if she doesn't like you she is a little too abrubt and honest about it.

When she was younger was very close with her Mom and especially her grandmother who told her all about Beauxbatons and how she would someday go there and study magic, however she and her family ended up moving out of France. She is most like her father however she and him were always butting heads when she lived at home. Her mother is always fussing about her and sending her care packages and Amerea and her are constantly writing letters back and forth. She never really met her cousin who from what she had heard was quite snobish much like her aunt who she greatly dislikes ever since finding out she had been sleeping with her father when her Mom and him were still dating. HISTORYGeneral History:The family had been living in France for many many years but when Liane and Neil got married they decided they wanted to move to the place they first fell in love, London. They ended up moving when Amerea was 10 years old. Amerea had a hard time adjusting to the new life style so Liana and Neil decided to adopting a boy Amerea's age. Amerea and Leon were the first of the family to go to Hogwarts, all the rest of the family attended Beauxtons. The year before Amerea and Leon went to Hogwarts, Liane divorced Neil after finding out about the affair with him and Serene.

The Sorting:
Amerea sat in her chair bored for what seemed like hours. Is this ever going to end she though to herself with a sigh. She just wanted her name to be called and the whole waiting process to be over, she never was a very patient girl.
Names were called one by one and finally it came her turn. She walked up and took a seat. She figured they could probably tell she was bored. Hopefully that meant the hat wouldn't take too long trying to decided her house.
"You seem annoyed" the hat said with a giggle
"No, not really just impatient at how long this was taking I guess"
"Well I won't keep you waiting any longer, it has to be...RAVENCLAW"
Like usual the room rang out with applause and Amerea took her seat at the Ravenclaw table. Just across the table there was a boy that just recently got placed in Ravenclaw as well. She brushed her bangs to the side and shot him one of her signature smiles. Well at least this house has the cute ones she giggle to herself.
Patronus:
An Ocelot
Greatest Treasure:
Her journal
Manner of Dress:
She likes to wear skirts and dresses a lot normally ones that are fairly short. Her favorite thing to wear is sundresses. She often wears bright colored clothing to attract attention to herself. She also likes to wear makeup but she never overdoes it. Often some black eyeliner, some light pink lipstick and maybe a small amount of eye shadow.
Favorite Class:
Care of magical creatures but of course she refuses to admit she actually likes it
Worst Class:
History of magic, if it's not what is going on now why should she care

Notes from Caffe: I like how you pulled all the Chinese aspects. Only thing that needs a bit of looking at are the Mirror. It doesn't show the future it shows a person's greatest desire... so unless she just doesn't understand what the mirror does, fear of seeing failure wouldn't really be possible, but what we are really looking for with the mirror is what exactly she desires most in life. And the boggart again manifests itself as her greatest fear so unless she is afraid of the dark then it most definitely wasn't a boggart that she saw ^^ After those small comments she will be accepted. I tweaked boggart and mirror. Hope this is right now. Accepted by Caffe!

Wand: 10" in, Elm with Dragon Core
Wand Hand: Right
PERSONALITYGeneral: Emylynn is extremely intelligent, well mannered and efficient in all she does. She is of Chinese/English heritage and cherishes both. Her studies are very important to her and strives to be the best she will not give in or give up until she learns whatever is given to her.
One thing she seems to be exceedingly good at is puzzles, she can see the answer in a very short amount of time. Crossword, Find the Word, Jigsaw does not matter same with Riddles though some of these do stump her.
Habits: Speaking Chinese if angered/uncomfortable, Taking off her shoes when she enters anywhere and making herself seem invisible (meaning being quiet)
Hobbies: Making clothing, Reading about Mythololgy and Coloring
Likes: Colors, Clothes, Myths, Chinese food and Spring
Dislikes: Bleak things, Cheaters, Dishonorable people or acts and certain insects
FAMILYMother: Suyin Jian
Father: Alexander George Berkshire, Slytherin
Siblings: None
Extended Family: Maternal Grandparents, Yan Jian and Meili (Yu) Jian both are deceased. Melinda A. (DeLiones) Berkshire and George Stewart Berkshire, Slytherin
Relationship with Family: Emylynn is very close with her mother as most girls are with their mothers in the Chinese community. Her father dotes on her terribly.
Her maternal grandparents passed away when she was 5 and 7 making her very sad but she celebrated their life as is proper.
Her paternal grandparents she did not see very much until after she moved to England at the age of 8 and is still getting to know them.
HISTORYGeneral History: Emylynn was born in England but raised in China until the age of 8 when she moved back to England due to the death of her maternal grandparents. Her mother is Chinese her father is English.
From a young age Emylynn always knew she was different from the other children when she was 5 and began school it was apparent she was very different. Her parents removed her from school and began teaching her at home to keep the fact she was of magical ability a secret. Her grandfather, Yan always told her you are what was meant for you to be do not be ashamed be proud.
She longs for her home in China, she misses it dreadfully but knows she is where she is meant to be you can not fight fate. It is her fate to attend Hogwart's and learn to be a wizard.
MISCELLANEOUSBoggart: This creature is one she believed she caught a glimpse of when her grandfather was honored after his death. She was standing holding her flower wreath awaiting the burning of the joss paper she also carried when a cold icy blast of air stirred her dress. Looking to the left with only her eyes she saw or what she believed she saw was a dark form floating about 200 feet from where she stood just above the heads of the people gathered for the wake/funeral. As suddenly as it appeared it disappeared. She has thought of this often and wonders if her fear of death manifested something she believed to be a boggart to her, or if it was only her imagination.
Mirror of Erised: This chance is one she covets and at the same time dreads. She knows the mirror shows what it is meant. If she was to be given the honor of standing before the mirror, she believes she will see her honoring both or her heritages by succeeding in all her endeavors.
EXTRA CREDIT
The Sorting:
Emylynn was quiet making her way into the large room where the sorting was to take place. Looking around she saw long tables each adorned with the banner of the respective house it represented.
A man with a long stride and seemed in a hurry was leading them to seats that were in the middle of the room. Everyone took a seat quickly and waited in silence and awe for further instructions.
A loud voice suddenly was heard: Welcome to Hogwarts, in just a few moments you will be sorted into your house and your life here will officially begin! When your name is called make your way to the steps, walk up and sit on the stool to be sorted do not worry it will only tickle. ~laughs~ We shall begin!
Emylynn sat awaiting her turn in silence and was awed by the quick efficency at which the hat was sorting the prespective students. Suddenly her name was called: Emylynn Qiaolian Jian Berkshire, approach! Standing quickly she made her way to the steps, hesitated as she still had her shoes on but was ushered on by a woman standing just to the right of the stairs. Moving up she sat straight and awaited the hat.
What intelligence I sense in you, young one. Your ambition and honor know no bounds....difficult this is for you can be placed in any of the houses. I sense a connection to Slytherin and there you shall be! the hat declared. Bowing her head she silently slid off the stool and walked down the steps and sat at table for her new house.

Greatest Treasure: Her Green Jade Family Crest Pendant that was given to her by her Deceased Maternal Grandfather.

Accepted by Caffe
Notes: Very cute character ^^
 GENERAL Name: Ashe Jones Mcbride
Gender: Male
Birthday: April 19
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Mixed
Wand: 12 1/4", beech with phoenix feather
Wand Hand: Left PERSONALITY General:
In a lot of ways Ashe is a bit of a 'domestic', while his mother tends to work long, busy hours Ashe is often left home alone, thus taking care of things like cooking and cleaning. After some time he even found that he enjoyed it. Essentially Ashe is muggle borne with no knowledge of Hogwarts, though in truth his estranged father was a wizard. Because Ashe never knew what it was like to have a father it isn't something he's ever felt like he'd missed out on, though after finding out what he was he began to wonder more about the man that gave him up.
Ashe knows nothing about what went on between his mother and father, mostly because it was never something they talked about, in truth though he was the child of a one-night stand. Back in the day his mother was quite the hippy (Something that's grown on him as well) and hooked up with a man she knew nothing about. Finding out he was a wizard was just as much a surprise to his mother as it was to Ashe.
Habits: Whenever he's thinking he usually winds up biting his lip
Hobbies: Cooking, guitar, singing
Likes: Music, food, botany
Dislikes: Disrespectful people, meat, fighting, arguements FAMILY Mother: Sarah "Flower" Mcbride
Muggle
Father: Unknown wizard
Siblings: None/Unknown
Extended Family:
Sally Mcbride - Grandmother
Muggle
Johnathan Mcbride - Grandfather
Muggle
James Mcbride - Uncle
Muggle
Relationship with Family:
Ashe is close with his mother's side of the family, especially his uncle. His mother is often times very busy with work, when she was he was often babysat by his uncle or grandparents, his grandmother being where he learned to cook. HISTORY General History:
Prior to learning about Hogwarts Ashe never cared to know anything about his father, his mother had always been there when he needed her and his uncle was more than happy to take on a father-like role in Ashe's life. While Ashe's mother IS in fact a busy woman running her own company she is fairly good for making time for her son, making sure they almost always could at least have dinner together so they could catch up on the day. To Ashe this is his favorite time of the day and food became something he loved because of it. He learned how to cook from his grandmother, however both he and his mother are vegetarians so he tends to adapt recipes to fit that in better.
After learning that he had been accepted into Hogwarts (Something neither he nor his mother believed for the first few letters), Ashe becomes curious about who his father is. Before that Ashe didn't know anything about him, suddenly knowing he is a wizard made him more of a mystery. Ashe has taken to thinking that just maybe if he does well at Hogwarts his father will be proud enough of him to see him at his graduation, thus Ashe vows to study hard and try out for the quidditch team (Every wizard likes it, his father probably does too, right?).
While at Hogwarts Ashe is interested in all his classes, even ones that aren't his forte, to him magic is something that never came across his mind as anything more than a fantasy novel here or there. Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures seem particularly interesting to him as he finds it hard to believe there are many animals or plants he'd never seen before. Defense Against the Dark Arts took him by surprise, in the short time between he learned about magic and went to his first class it surprised him that there were wizards that would do bad things with their powers, to him it was like a superhero using his powers to be a villain instead. If he had more of a future-plan he might consider being like a superhero and chasing them down himself. MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting:
Ambitious is certainly one word to describe Ashe, though he is a rather calm character he is also driven to his short-term goals (Never one to make long-term goals). He is very protective over his group of friends and family, usually keeping to a closer, tighter knit group as opposed to a larger group. While his traits could often be seen as a Hufflepuff when the hat inquired which he would rather he picked Slytherin.....they had a far nicer colour scheme. Plus he just liked snakes better than badgers. Ahhh, the mindset of one with no clue about the school.
Boggart:
"Just let me grab my--WHOA!" Ashe stalled as he stumbled away from his closet. Something followed him and that something looked angry! Or....as angry as an inanimate object could look? He ducked as it swung out at him, rolling back in his flopped over position. Ducking and dodging wasn't the easiest when he was half on the ground.
"Whoa, you had a boggart in your closet!"
"A what?!" Ashe's eyes stared at the floating sword, or to be more specific how he thought of War to look, weapons and destruction. The sword began swinging about threatening, lunging, slashing, almost as if propelled by an invisible hand. Some things with magic were just TOO WIERD! How was he supposed to deal with an inanimate object attacking him? He'd never even heard of something so absurd in his life! Then again, magic in any sense was pretty new to him, he wasn't sure of how to deal with many magical problems, it certainly was all a learning experience to him.
As he finally got up and managed to properly dodge a swing his questions were answered. "It's a creature that takes on the image of what you fear most! You have to imagine it as something hilarious that you can laugh at and say 'Ridiculous'!" He turned a dubious stare, he couldn't be serious. That just sounded......silly. How was he supposed to laugh at something that scared him? And with every swing that thing was scaring him even more!
He scrunched his nose, trying to imagine what would make the sword seem funny. "R-Ridiculous!" he shouted, pointing his wand at the sword as a wreath of flowers sprung up around it. Huh.....it worked....
Mirror of Erised:
This certainly was NOT the bathroom...
Ashe tentatively entered the room, eyeing the walls until his eyes landed on reflective surface. Oooh....a mirror, seemed like an odd place for it. Ashe walked curiously up to it but stopped dead in his tracks. Was that......that was?
Looking back at him was himself, but older....equally good looking of course, but he looked like he'd graduated from Hogwarts and....who was that? His eyes trailed over the older figure with a hand on Ashe's shoulder. An older man......look of swelling pride....similar features.....could that be...? He swallowed hard, still transfixed on the sight. That couldn't be his father, could it? Ashe had never seen his father before, never met him, no pictures even. His mother maybe had no reason to keep any pictures of him around?
Ashe had to wonder though, was that the future? Would he meet his father when he graduated? His throat tightened at the thought. He never needed to know who his father was, never had that much of a care...until suddenly the man he and his mother never talked about suddenly came into his life in a rather.....roundabout way. He never really thought about who his father was, there was no reason to, no one ever talked about him, there were no pictures of him....no evidence that man had any influence over his life, none until Hogwarts. Ever since he started going to the school he'd wondered about him. What house had he been in? How had he met Ashe's mother? How was he at his classes? Hell....what was his name?
"I guess......I have a couple years till I find out, huh?" he asked, eyes trained firmly on the older man. His father gave a sad smile and squeezed his mirror-shoulder. "Will you be proud I went to your old school? Wh-what should I do so that we can meet?" he asked hopefully. His father's look saddened as he shook his head, seemingly at a loss for words. He wanted to sit there with the father he never knew....but he knew he had to get back to bed. He swallowed again before turning away to leave, but as he left he couldn't resist those sparing glances back at the mirror.
Someday.....someday his questions would be answered....and soon.EXTRA CREDIT Everything in this section is completely optional, but if you feel like going above and beyond the above required sections, this is for you!

Patronus: A german shepherd like he has back home.
Greatest Treasure: Like any good momma's boy; his mother.
Manner of Dress: Comfy casual.
Favorite Class: Ashe loves Charms, given an excuse to throw pillows around a classroom and be active in class is always good with him.
Worst Class: Probably the most boring class would be History of Magic, but Ashe isn't very good at Transfiguration.

Accepted by Cynnybun! GENERAL Name: Andrea Marie Dunshaw
Gender: Female
Birthday: June 5th
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Mixed
Wand: 11 1/3rd", Bocote with Unicorn Tail hair core
Wand Hand: Right PERSONALITY General: Andrea is a typical Slytherin girl with a huge taste for fashion. Anything that looks great or fabulous, she wants it. If she spies something that looks outstanding on another person, she will go out of her way to stop them and ask them where they got it so that she can get one for herself. She is the type of girl that has a matching purse for every outfit of every day.
She is great with potions more than she is spells, but that doesn't stop her from trying a new spell or two. To Andrea, mixing and crafting potions is almost like an overlooked art form. Even the smallest of drops or ingredients is 'magnificent' or 'marvelous'. She is happiest when she is mixing potions. (It is also the only time where she is remarkably nicer than usual).
Because her parents were rather careless as to express their opinions on muggles while she was a young girl, she picked up on these feelings ten fold. While her parents attempt to tolerate muggles or phone calls and visits from the ever persistent non magical side of the family, Andrea simply despises all muggles. In truth, she is afraid to do so because she doesn't understand them (due to her parents attempting to keep non magical things out of her life) and that leads to her feeling afraid that if she does come to understand them, she will be like them, so she hides these feelings behind a mask of anger. Sometimes she would prefer that they simply stopped existing, as if its some sort of curse or taint that muggle blood is in her once pure lineage. She is far more social to anyone who is a wizard, though she tends to ignore their backgrounds and focus souly upon the fact that they are magical.
Andrea also shares this view, somewhat, towards the other school houses, preferring to only mingle with Slytherins. That's not to say she will -never- talk to someone from another house but she would act as if its killing her to do so and will try to end the conversation and get away as fast as possible. She also is a huge hopeless romantic, dreaming of that perfect Slytherin boy some day in her future...
Habits: Chewing gum and smacking it loudly, blowing huge gum bubbles and popping them, rolling her eyes when she's bored or irritated, flicking her hair, filing her nails in public, sighing loudly if she's upset or annoyed.
Hobbies: Mixing or studying potions whenever she can, browsing fashion catalogs (i assume wizards have their own versions?) , playing dress up in front of any mirror.
Likes: Wizards or magical folk, being around magical folk, anything to do with potions, felines of all types, being dry, looking nice, attention, going to Quidditch tournaments with her parents.
Dislikes: Muggles, being around her muggle relatives, almost every other animal, being dirty, dressing sloppy, others dressing sloppy. FAMILY Mother: Caroline Eva Raunshester (now Dunshaw) / Mixed / Syltherin / Wizard Grandmother, Muggle Grandfather, Wizard Parents, Muggle Sister
Father: Lawrence Graham Dunshaw / Mixed / Slytherin / Wizard Father, Muggle Mother, Muggle brother.
Siblings: n/a
Extended Family: Grandparents (William and Lacey Raunshester) on her mother's side and her Grandfather (Jacques Dunshaw) on her father's side are the only ones she will associate with or talk about.
Relationship with Family: Andrea is lose to the immediate magical family from either side and has no qualms about being in their presence. She would prefer to stay away from the muggle relatives and pretend as if they didn't even exist. Her and her family, though being mixed, take this notion with a grain of salt. She is far worse about it than her parents. HISTORY General History: As far back as anyone can remember, the Dunshaw's used to be purebloods. Though a small family, they took pride in themselves and in raising their children to hold the very same beliefs. That is until one day when Nelson Dunshaw, the boy who never agreed with his family views, fancied a muggle woman and ran off to marry her.
He, his wife and two kids, one wizard one muggle, were outcast from the rest of the Dunshaws. Never spoken too and never spoke of. Though try as hard as they may, the number of purebloods in the family began to slowly dwindle as the times changed. What started with Nelson resulted in three other children along the way splitting off to marry muggles until the family line ultimately became mixed on both sides.
Those who retained their beliefs about the non magical world stuck together and moved as far away from their non magical relatives as possible. Those who enjoyed being around both sides stayed relatively close together. It wasn't until Lawrence Dunshaw was born, that the old family way of thinking began to re invent itself.
From the start, Lawrence had a not so great relationship with his mother. In some ways, he almost hated her, but tolerated her for his father's sake. He became increasingly annoyed with her strange, almost neutral views on magic, while he had a grand and most desirable view on his magical abilities. Because his father worked a lot, both in the muggle world and magical world, he hardly had time to ask his father to teach him tricks or tell him about the wizard world and his mother, at times, seemed adamant that Lawrence learn more about muggle ways.
When the time came that Lawrence finally received his acceptance letter to Hogwarts, he left without hesitation, glad to be out of his home, away from non magical things and off to a place he could truly learn real magic. There he met his wife, Caroline Raunshester, whom shared the same sort of views as he did and who despised being around her non magical grandfather. They married shortly after graduating and moved to Norfolk England to be as far away from the rest of their families as possible. There they gave birth to their daughter, Andrea, and attempted to shelter her from all things non magical in hopes of raising a 'proper' witch. MISCELLANEOUS Boggart: Andrea's boggart would take the form of a man who is as muggle as you possibly could be, coming at her with a twisted malicious face and glint in his eye, suggesting the intent upon causing her physical harm. Her charm would change the man into wearing a bright pink tutu and to have buckets of slippery ice beneath his feet so that he could not even stand up.
Mirror of Erised: She would see her self surrounded by nothing but pure blood wizards, with a pure wizard husband, two children, being pure blood herself, and the favorite amongst community. EXTRA CREDIT Everything in this section is completely optional, but if you feel like going above and beyond the above required sections, this is for you! You can pick and choose which ones to fill out or not. Feel free to cut this section out of your form or just leave it blank if you opt not to fill it out.
The Sorting:
Andrea shuffled in with the rest of the first years, flipping her hair back over her shoulders as she smacked her gum rather loudly and cockily. Her lips pursed as she watched the students before her get sorted into their various houses.
"Ravenclaw!
Must be... Hufflepuff!
Gryffindor!!"
The girl rolled her eyes and flicked her hair once again, pausing to stare at her nails as if she were bored out of her mind. Her surname, beginning with a D, meant she hadn't long to wait and good thing too. She could hardly stand being so close to these.... losers. In her mind, she already knew where she belonged. Her family had a history of being placed in Slytherin and so not a shadow of a doubt formed in her mind. At least... not that she let on.
Her entire ride over, she had managed to be lucky enough to chat with some second and third year Slytherins, hoping to impress them with what she had already begun teaching herself. Potions were her thing, naturally, as was her wizard mothers. But now that she was actually nearing the sorting hat, a tiny sensation began prickling its way up her spine, sending goosebumps all over her skin.
A few more students were called next, the sorting hat taking longer on some, shorter on others. It was her turn soon and suddenly she found herself feeling something she usually never felt before. Anxiety coupled with the hope that the hat would take longer on this child so as to delay her turn further....but alas it would not be so.
Hufflepuff!" the hat shouted out followed by a brief moment of silence....
"Andrea Dunshaw..." a voice then called and students began to look around for the matching face.
Taking a deep breath, Andrea did her best to swallow her fears and stepped up to take a seat. She glanced out over at the Slytherin tables, a few of the students she had met earlier giving her thumbs up. One cute boy in particular gave her a cocky smile which made her cheeks flush. She sucked in a breath of air and attempted to return the smile, though Slytherin knows it might have come out extremely awkward on her face.
Suddenly, her head felt warm and strangely alive as the hat made itself comfortable. It seemed to hum in thought for a moment, which made her pause and begin to question what might be taking so long. Shouldn't it have shouted Slytherin already? Clearly her family line... though being mixed along the years, would have told it by now she definitely belonged in Slytherin. Andrea smacked her gum again, louder this time as she grew increasingly more anxious.
"Child, why do you fidget. It's clear what I'm to do with you, silly you should harbor doubts now.... Of course it has to be... " it paused, as if it were drawing out the results just to make her fidget more, before the hat's voice rang loud and clear across the great hall. "SLYTHERIN!"
Applauds and cheers erupted from the Slytherin table. Andrea finally let out the air she had been holding in for what seemed like ages. She slipped off the seat just as the hat left her head and made her way over to her new housemates. She flicked her hair back yet again and smoothed out her robes, her mouth moving rapidly with each chew of her gum.
"Well well, seems you were right after all. Welcome to the ranks of Slytherin, Rea." the one cute boy from before grinned as he patted the empty seat next to him.
Andrea pulled her usual cocky, cool and collected face. "Well duh, where else would I end up? Slytherin is in my blood." she grinned and took a seat next to the boy, silently thanking the heavens that was over.
Patronus: Bengal Tiger. She has a huge love for cats and views big cats as something fierce, strong and regal.
Greatest Treasure: Her cauldron, which was given to her by her mother who is also exceptional at potion mixing.
Manner of Dress: Fabulous! Anything that is the latest in fashion including excessive amounts of jewelry, short skirts, high heel shoes, frilly and low cut blouses, etc.
Favorite Class: Potions. She finds potion mixing and history highly interesting and exciting. To her, carefully mixing a potion and added even the smallest of drops is like art.
Worst Class: Charms, as she is not great with casting spells though she tries as best she can.

Approved by Cynnybun!Teddy looks very good and sounds like a great character!
Have fun! GENERAL Name: Theodore Hershey Graham
Gender: Male
Birthday: 13 September
House: Hufflepuff
Blood Status: Mixed
Wand: 10" Apple, Whippy, Unicorn Mane Hair
Wand Hand: Left PERSONALITY General: Teddy is a quiet, gentle boy, with a great love of the outdoors. He is intelligent and hard-working but also incredibly shy, and prefers the company of animals and plants, as he feels he can understand them better than any human. He prefers to avoid conflict and can get overwhelmed very easily, making him easy prey to bullies.
Habits: His mouth drops open at the slightest hint of emotion, whether he's scared, happy, upset, or sad. He cries easily when overwhelmed. When nervous, he flattens his eyebrows with his fingertips.
Hobbies: He enjoys baking and cooking, especially desserts. He enjoys taking walks out on the grounds. He talks to animals and trees as though they were real people, giving them names and imagining them to have personalities.
Likes: He likes chocolate, but not candy. His favorite color is brown. He likes climbing trees and studying birds. He presses flowers and has a collection of pressed plant life in a thick book he keeps in a chest in his room.
Dislikes: He hates being taken advantage of, even though he finds it hard to say 'no' to people. He doesn't like being called fat. He doesn't like Bertie Botts, as he ate one that tasted like a rotten egg. He hates watermelon, as he's allergic to it. FAMILY Mother: Guinevere Winifred Percevorous Graham, 34, muggleborn, former Ravenclaw, stay-at-home mum
Father: Ambrose Milton Graham, 37, mixed blood, former Hufflepuff, healer at St. Mungo's
Siblings: Adelaide Clementine Graham, 6 years old
Wallace Archibald Graham, 5 years old
Extended Family: Beatrice Hamilton Graham, 62, muggle-born, paternal grandmother, former Hufflepuff, retired naturalist and author
Godfrey Cornelius Graham, 40, paternal uncle, former Ravenclaw, works for a tiny company that has him studying unicorns
All three of Teddy's remaining grandparents are muggles who are now deceased.
Relationship with Family: Theodore is very close to his family, as they are a very tight-knit group. He is closest to his mum, as she is a stay-at-home parent. He adores his younger siblings Addy and Wally, even though they are so much younger than he is. He doesn't see too much of his father, but they are much alike in temperament. His grandmother is a very kind, warm person, and whenever she comes to visit, he knows he will have fun baking desserts with her for his younger siblings. He is also quite close to his Uncle Godfrey, who often sends him trinkets from being out and about studying unicorns. HISTORY General History: Theodore Hershey Graham was born in the wee hours of the morning on 13 September to Ambrose and Guinevere Graham. His mum made the decision to forego a job and instead stay at home to raise her family, and so he spent the first five years of his life a very secure only child, helping her in the kitchen and exploring the world around him. He grew up amongst the glories of the British countryside, at his family's home near the coast of Cornwall.
Teddy didn't always have the easiest time, socially. When he was four, he went with his mother to visit one of her good childhood friends, and he was teased mercilessly by her children (aged nine and ten) for being 'fat' and 'soft' and a 'cry-baby'. Poor Teddy, who hadn't had much experience with children his age and older, had cried bitterly at their teasing. When the boy, a ten-year-old muggle by the name of Jenner George, began poking him with a stick, calling him a 'ruddy, great marshmallow boy', Teddy's tears turned to fury and the stick seemed to animate itself, turning on the boy and hitting him over the head multiple times as he ran away shrieking. The muggle's memories were modified and Genevieve was left to explain to her boy that he must try to control his newly discovered magical abilities around muggles, as they weren't to know their secret.
His little sister Adelaide was born when he was five, and from the moment he set eyes on her, he absolutely adored her. From the start he was at mummy's side, helping feed, change, and wash his baby sister. He wanted to be her protector and her teacher and her best friend. This loyalty increased exponentially the next year when his brother Wally was born.
When Wally turned eleven, the cut off date for the school year had had already passed, and so he had to wait several more months for his letter. At last it did come, though, and with great trepidation (and excitement) Teddy was off to school. MISCELLANEOUS Boggart: The boggart would turn into a giant version of the muggle boy Jenner George, complete with a flaming stick, which it would brandish at him while yelling the insult, "Marshmallow boy, marshmallow boy!"
Mirror of Erised: His reflection would reveal Teddy in the kitchen, surrounded by his family, baking an assortment of delicious cakes and cookies for them, accompanied with steaming mugs of hot chocolate.EXTRA CREDIT The Sorting: Teddy was tired. For hours, he'd endured a terribly noisy, hot, dusty train ride, followed by a rickety boat ride over a dark, deep, really quite terrifying lake. Afterward, he'd been herded along with a group of children his age down a hallway and into a giant room filled with adults and children so much taller and older than he was.
He waited at the front, rather overwhelmed, as student after student was called to the front. As each one passed, he found himself growing more and more nervous. By the time the student before him was sorted, a girl with long, flowing black hair and piercing blue eyes, he was already holding back tears.
"Ravenclaw!" The hat yelled, and the girl scuttled off to her seat.
"Graham, Theodore!" the professor called.
Teddy swallowed, trying so hard not to cry as he walked up to the front. He sat down on the stool, his legs hanging down well above the ground. He let out a shuddering sob as the hat dropped over his head.
Calm down, young one... do not be afraid, said a voice in his ear. Teddy's mouth dropped open, and he choked on the moisture that had been building up in his mouth and nose from trying not to cry. After an intense bout of coughing, followed by several heaving, shuddering sobs, he had finally settled down enough to hear the hat whisper, Do not fear, for I know where you belong, and you will do just fine, in the long run.
Before he had had to process what the hat had said, it shouted its choice to the rest of hall, "HUFFLEPUFF!" Teddy grinned broadly as the hat was lifted off his head, wiped his nose on the sleeve of his cloak, and filled with relief and elation, ran off to join the rest of the Hufflepuffs.
Patronus: He doesn't have one yet, but if he ever masters it, it will be a Flemish Giant, which is a massive rabbit.
Greatest Treasure: His greatest treasure is his book of pressed plants and flowers, which he has carefully labelled and recorded.
Manner of Dress: Theodore likes wearing comfortable clothes that he can adjust to suit the weather. He's usually out-of-doors, and since it rains a lot where he lives, he usually wears long sleeves, a jumper, and cargo pants. The cargo pants are his favourite because he can store plants he discovers in their many pockets. The clothes he wears will usually be browns and greens and other colours found in nature. He also likes scarves and hats, especially those large beanies with the fluff balls and the earflaps that hang down.
Favorite Class: Herbology, followed very closely by Care of Magical Creatures. Potions is also up there too, because he finds it very similar to cooking, which is something her really enjoys.
Worst Class: Defense Against the Dark Arts, because he's really not very good at standing up for himself, physically or mentally.

Accepted by the Caffers GENERAL Name: Tyler Royal Kingston
Gender: Male
Birthday: January 17th
House: Ravenclaw
Blood Status: Half Blood
Wand: 12" Ebony wood, Phoenix Feather core
Wand Hand: Right PERSONALITY General: Tyler is a bit of a dramatic fellow. He likes to over react and over play situations to either make others laugh or irritate others. Some day he dreams of being a well known actor for muggle television shows and so keeps an internet blog about himself and skits he does with his best friends. He can also be very cocky and somewhat of a jerk, especially around girls. He thinks highly of himself and for some reason thinks girls will be easier to prove his greatness too, so he over does it quite a bit.
Since he can't have his video camera and things while he is at Hogwarts, he attempts to fill the void with any magical devices he can, or he simply creates his own games to act out with his friends. They mostly consist of pretending he and his pals are time lords on a secret mission and no one must know of their true identities. He is heavily into British television shows, with few american exceptions. He is also heavily into video games and often references them or makes annoying side effects when something happens to himself and his group of friends.
His way of showing 'affection' is by teasing. While most of the time they are mild taunts, sometimes he can go a little too far and end up hurting other's feelings when really he just wanted to make them laugh. He has yet to realize that not everyone share's his harsh sense of humor and so often gets very defensive and upset if someone takes his jokes the wrong way. He also has a tendency to laugh at inappropriate times, which often gets him into trouble or several glances of disapproval.
He is convinced that a werewolf was outside his window once when he was a child and now gets skiddish if someone even just mentions the creatures.
Habits: Making faces, teasing others, referencing movies and games, making video game noises, fixing his hair.
Hobbies: Filming skits for his internet blog when he's at home, watching Dr. Who marathons, practicing his acting, inventing new 'games' to play, filming others randomly without them knowing.
Likes: Dr. Who, most British television shows, some American shows, video games, acting, being dramatic, charms and transmogrification, hanging out with his best friends, werewolves.
Dislikes: Having to do homework, not being able to use his electronics at Hogwarts, his spells failing, messing up on his acting, no one liking his acting, being alone, missing his tv shows and video games. FAMILY Mother: Ann-Marie Jennifer Braddock (Now Kingston) / Muggle
Father: John Bradley Kingston / Wizard / Hufflepuff
Siblings: n/a
Extended Family: None that he is close too or lives near him.
Relationship with Family: Somewhat close. Though he does spend time with them during holidays and birthdays, he doesn't really think about them much while he's at Hogwarts. He does miss his parents but not enough to show it and is usually only reminded when they send him something. HISTORY General History: Born in London England, Tyler's parents met here after they both transferred for job promotions. They happened to meet one day while John had business to attend to in the muggle world and soon they became fast friends. Four years later, they married. John then told his wife about what he was and what he could do and to his surprise, she accepted him despite it all, saying she knew that a distant cousin of hers was magical in some way, though it was never fully explained to her until now.
Ann-Marie technically should not have been able to have any children due to inner complications (it was a very slim chance she would actually become pregnant and see the baby to full term), and so Tyler was seen as a huge blessing, making him their one and only child they would ever have. Because of this, they put him on a pastille for the majority of his younger years, which helps account for some of his cocky attitude. MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting: Tyler heard his name called and stepped eagerly up to the stool. He wasn't sure exactly where he would be sorted, but he knew he wanted to be with his two best friends, Theo and Tobin. But because his last name began with a K, he was sorted first.
Gulping, he looked out at his two pals and gave them a thumbs up as the hat was placed on his head. Taking in a deep breath, he tuned out the murmurings of the voices around him and tried to listen just to the hat as he mumbled to itself.
Tyler's father was a Hufflepuff and his mother a muggle, so he hadn't really given much thought as to what house he would be placed in but he knew Theo had a liking for Ravenclaw, and so he silently pictured himself in their blue robes.
"Ravenclaw eeey? Hmmmm... not sure thats a good choice for you lad.... you sure you Don't want Slytherin? Oh you'd be fine there, yes. So sure of yourself, are you? the hat spoke and Tyler felt himself gulp. "No? Alright then... perhaps Hufflepuff? Your father was a good one, or so I gather. Still No? well if you insist then boy..... RAVENCLAW!" the hat finally shouted across the great hall.
Tyler let out a huge sigh of reliefe and ran over to wrap his two best pals in a huge bear hug. "You boys better get in Ravenclaw now or I'll box your ears off!" he laughed and slapped the two on the shoulders before making his way over to his new table.
Boggart: The boggart would shift itself into the form of a snarling viscous werewolf with razor sharp fangs and claws. His charm would turn it into a tiny fluffy puppy with a huge purple bow on its head.
Mirror of Erised: Tyler would see himself within the mirror, the youngest British actor to date, having won many awards for his various main and secondary roles in movies and would soon star as the next Dr. Who.EXTRA CREDIT Everything in this section is completely optional, but if you feel like going above and beyond the above required sections, this is for you! You can pick and choose which ones to fill out or not. Feel free to cut this section out of your form or just leave it blank if you opt not to fill it out.
Patronus: A peacock, because he is a rather show-offish boy and thinks himself regal, like how a peacock may be seen as regal.
Greatest Treasure: His friendship with Theo and Tobin. If he lost those two, he would fall into a deep depression, they are like his other family.
Manner of Dress: A mix of formal and casual. He wear's nice formal button up shirts with collars but wears them untucked and slightly wrinkled. He wears dark jeans normally, though they are never frayed or torn and vests you would see with a tux. He has a number of different colored glasses to match his vests, but wears sweat bands and arm bands, usually with Dr. Who or other TV show/Video game references on them. His hair is usually short and spiky with a longer hawk just in the front.
Favorite Class: Charms, as he enjoys being able to manipulate objects as he often pretends he is doing so to save some non-existent maiden from danger.
Worst Class: History of Magic. He could care less what went on in the past and would rather day dream about being in some action packed adventure film.

Accepted by Caffe
Notes: The only thing i found wrong was with the parent's history. They can be dragon trainers researchers or keepers... but breeding them is illegal via the Warlocks' Convention of 1709 so they wouldn't be liked and well known for it. Other then that Keenan looks great ^^ GENERAL Name: Keenan Silas Acland
Gender: Male
Birthday: November 4th
House: Ravenclaw
Blood Status: Half Blood
Wand: Ebony, Phoenix Feather, 12 inches
Wand Hand: Left PERSONALITY General:
Keenan gets easily distracted and this often leads to his forgetting why he has come into a room for as well as what he was looking for. He's constantly forgetting where he lays his belongings and is often searching for them. More than often it's his quill which he's stuck behind his ear that he's looking for. He gets rather embarrassed when other people point this out to him.
Keenan can be super shy around girls and is known to get tongue tied as well as bright red when a girl approaches him. Since he's not all that confident around them, he tries to avoid them when it's possible. Often times he will resort to writing notes to communicate with them, as his voice gets all high pitched and hard to hear.
Keenan can be rather clumsy and accident prone, much to his embarrassment. He's often sporting band aids on his knees or hands, as he's not the type to go see the school nurse for a simple scrape. Because of the commonality of his accidents, Keenan learned first aid at a very young age. He's often carrying a small first aid kit around with him Of course this has come in handy, if he sees someone get hurt he's usually the first one there to help clean them up and slap a band aid on them. As he's not the squeamish type he's not the type to panic or freak out when someone gets hurt.
Keenan has picked up on some of his uncles' paranoid tendencies, though his are a bit more unique than others. He's afraid of girls..and afraid of girls or females that might cut his hair. He is super protective of it, though no one really knows why this is. His Samson like fear might be attributed to one of his Uncles jokingly telling him that if he were to cut his hair or allow a girl to get it cut she'd have control over him.
Keenan has always had a very keen mind and was reading at a young age, pretty much because there wasn't much else to do in his Uncles' home. Such proclaimed bachelors had no need for games or toys and hadn't thought to get him any when he was young. Instead they showered him with old books on mythology, the supernatural and paranormal things. Keenan was enthralled to read about such things and before long was devouring every book he could get on these subjects, which wasn't hard since the entire house was a library. The one thing that fascinates him the most is the Sasquatch and how muggles believe in them though many haven't even seen them. His room is something of a shrine to these creatures..along with other supernatural or folklore pertaining to creatures like the sasquatch. He is always striving to learn more about the creature..and when people call him a kook for believe such things..or thinking it's real he has some fast come backs and knowledge to counter against them.
Habits: Playing or tugging on the ends of his hair, shoving his glasses up with his middle finger, shoving his hands deep into his pockets when he's nervous, Rubbing his glasses on his shirt, nibbling on his bottom lip when he's in deep thought.
Hobbies: Playing Harmonica, Drawing creepy animals and ghosts, reading bone chilling scary books, whittling, Researching and talking about the sasquatch.
Likes:Sasquatch, Yetis, History(it was rather bloody after all and had lots of wars), Thriller/Scary books and movies, Haunted Houses (even fake ones), Roller Coasters, Supernatural creatures, Purple, Green, Slip on shoes
Dislikes:Socks, washing his hair, having to wear a uniform, girls who fuss over him, kids that are too bossy, getting unsolicited advice.

Damian S. Acland, 38, Pure Blood, Supernatural Expert, Gryffindor Relationship with Family: Keenan has a very close kinship with his uncles who took him in when he was five years old. They all share a taste for the macabre, supernatural and downright creepy, their home reflects this. Most people believe that the house is haunted and who is to say that it isn't? Most people stay away, much to their delight. Though their mother is often intruding and taking Keenan away to learn more proper things..which he often detests, though he does anyway to please her. Keenan has a strained relationship with his mother's family. mostly because his guardians and father's family creep them out. They never really got over the fact that their daughter was a witch, and have been in denial about it. Only his Aunt Amelia takes the time to try and take him anywhere or spend time with him. They both share a love for roller coasters and scary tales. She tends to buy him fun clothes as well as R.L. Stine books. Despite Keenan's objections to his Grandmother's fussing over him, they have a very close relationship. He might complain about her fussing over the clothes he wears and how he takes care of his hair but he wouldn't have her any other way. While she often threatens to cut his hair when he's sleeping, he knows she doesn't mean it. HISTORY General History: Keenan was born on a stormy November afternoon in Sussex England to Breona and Arthur Acland the II. They lived a very happy and simple life, with Keenan's uncles often coming to spend time with their nephew. Often times they would offer to watch him so his parents could have some time alone. Sometimes they'd take them up on the offer while other times they'd send him to spend time with his grandmother Victoire or his Aunt Amelia so they could get to know him as well. As a young child, Keenan was a very wide eyed curious toddler and always getting into things. Even at that age he had a strange fascination with fur and hair. He was always climbing up into the bearskin covered chair at his Uncles' home so he could feel the fur on his legs. He'd also run his fingers carefully through his mother's long black hair and sometimes even stick his nose in it and smell it. As Keenan grew older, he was often left for longer periods with his Uncles while his father and mother traveled for their jobs. This was how Keenan first got exposed to the world of the supernatural, paranormal and mythical and became a life long believer. He was fascinated with the work his Uncles did, even though he had no clue about them using magic to go further in finding things muggles never could. Keenan was constantly witnessing magic on a day to day basis, and learning about the differences between muggles and wizards. Often times clients would come to his Uncles' home to ask for help. At these times, Keenan was asked to go to another room so he wouldn't give anything away to them. As a four year old, he rather liked to blab about things he shouldn't and they really didn't want to have to adjust a muggle's memory more than once. His uncles were so distracted with work that they didn't realize something was amiss with his parents until it was more than a week past the date they were due back from their job. Keenan at the time was five and hadn't noticed anything wrong, he was used to them not returning straight away and letting him stay longer with his Uncles. While Damian entertained and cared for Keenan the other two got to work in contacting the people his parents worked with and then the Ministry of Magic. When only their belongings, which were nearly charred to ashes were discovered it seemed to be a horrible tragedy where they had gotten eaten by dragons. The brothers thought otherwise but knew it wiser not to contradict the Ministry of magic in their ruling the death as an accident. Keenan's upbringing was taken over by his Uncles, and his grandmother and Aunt Amelia. The five year old spent the majority of his time with his bachelor Uncles, where they taught him all manner of interesting and amusing things. Of course..some of what they taught wasn't necessarily school appropriate, but Keenan loved every moment of it. When he entered grade school for the first time he was avoided because of his stuttering and odd behavior. It wasn't as though Keenan cared..as long as he was able to learn about his precious Sasquatch and do what he wanted after school he didn't care what kids thought. He became the oddball kid that was avoided and yet always asked for favors. Keenan after all was super smart, and could figure out math, and other subjects that they found hard super fast. School subjects were easy, but social situations weren't so much. He was often talking about his latest find on Sasquatch folklore during dances or moments when he couldn't think of anything to say. Keenan had been taught about Hogwarts from a young age, so when he finally started to do magic, under the semi watchful eye of his Uncles in their home he was enthuisastic and looking forward to attending the school. Since his birthday fell after the cut off date of the beginning of the school year, Keenan got several extra months to practice spells and charms and read up on the school books he'd need. Bye the time the next term rolled around, he was ready to get started. With his valise, and his cat Mungojerrie's cage in one hand, Keenan boarded the train early on an August morning. He dutifully waved good bye to his teary eyed grandmother and his Uncles cheerful farewells and eagerly awaited his first sighting of the famed school. Parent's HistoryWhen Arthur and Breona knew each other for years at Hogwarts, and were good friends and study partners during their school years. It was during their last year when Breona threw caution to the wind and kissed Arthur for the first time. Arthur was rather shocked that the quiet shy girl he had known felt that way about him and it threw him for a loop. It didn't help matters that he found he had feelings for her in return. Arthur's father had already betrothed him to a girl who had gone to Beauxbaton a few years earlier..he was supposed to marry her after working with his father for three years in his company. Arthur struggled against the feelings he had for Breona and what he felt were his duties and obligations to his father. In the end, love won over obligation. Instead of returning home from Hogwarts, Arthur eloped with Breona and they got married in secret in Ireland. When they returned home, Arthur Senior was furious. He told his son the only way he would accept him back into the family and allow him to remain his heir would be if he were to get a divorce and throw his wife aside. Arthur firmly told him that it wasn't going to happen, and if his father wanted him to work at the company he would do that. His father coldly told him there was no job for him and that he would have to find another way of supporting his wife. The young Arthur was scared but wasn't going to let his father know this and left his father's home and the two made a life for themselves in a small town far from his family. It was a surprise when his younger brothers showed up a few weeks later with their belongings and made themselves at home in the couples' home. The eldest of them explained that since Arthur had stood up to their father, their mother was doing the same. She was in the process of divorcing him and getting things set up for her to move close by. Arthur and Breona were a bit annoyed that the three younger sons were planning on staying with them, only for the boys to laugh and explain they had a mansion being built nearby where they would live. They only wanted to use the back yard for a tent until it was ready. Also..since they had bought the cottage and land where Arthur and Breona were living they were their landlords. Arthur wasn't very amused with his brothers and asked where they had gotten the money to do such things. They just laughed and said it was an inheritance from their Great Uncle who had recently pass away. They also assured the couple they weren't going to ask for rent or payment but wanted the couple to live there for free. After all they didn't really need any money. They also presented the couple with what would have been Arthur's share of the inheritance, since because of the marriage their Great Uncle had written him out of the will. With the money and the freedom to do whatever they wanted, Arthur and Breona went through extensive training so they could become researchers for the training of dragons. They were accepted and widely known for their work. They probably would have kept traveling all over with their work if Breona hadn't discovered she was pregnant. They decided to work on writing an extensive book on dragons and their breeding practices while they had a young son to take care of. MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting:
Keenan brushed his slightly stringy wet hair out of his face and peered around the castle. He stared in awe up at the ghost floating over them. When he had heard there were ghosts living in the castle that actually spoke to people he had nearly passed out in shock. Now that he was here..he was tongue tied and amazed by the presence of them.
"Why hello there young sir, welcome to Hogwarts!" A rather cheerful ghost told him floating down in front of him and then pulled his head nearly off his shoulders in salute.
Keenan couldn't help but smile and salute the ghost smartly ignoring the shocked gasps and a few shrieks from several girls close to him.
"Thank you kindly, I'm glad to be here." he replied eagerly. "I've waited ages to actually see a ghost. My uncle.."
Here Keenan was interrupted by the instructor that was escorting them to to the Great Hall.
"That's enough talk for now dear, time to get to the sorting." The tall woman told him, and beckoned him forward with a hand.
"Don't worry lad, I'll find you later and we can talk some more! I'm Sir Nicholas." The ghost replied with a wink.
Keenan nodded and followed after the other kids, a bit miffed that he had to wait to talk to the ghost until later. He imagined it would have bee much more entertaining and informative than standing around and waiting to get sorted. Sorted..it sounded like a stupid game kids did in preschool.
Luckily for Keenan he didn't have to wait too long to be called.
"Keenand Silas Acland" Called the teacher from up on the left side of the stage where all the other teachers were seated.
Keenan shuffled through the crowd of kids to the front and made his way up to the stool. He sat down, even though he didn't really want to be seen by the entire room. His cheeks darkened slightly as he felt his stomach start to grow wobbly.
"Well now..where to put you..." A dry old voice came from somewhere above him.
Keenan started and then realized that it was an old Wizard's hat that was speaking. Oh of course, he should have remembered. His Uncles had told him about an old wizen hat that sorted kids into different Houses.
"No...not Gryffindor, that wouldn't do. Nor would Slytherin..you don't really have the spirit or cunning for that house. With your curiousity and drive I'd say that you'd do well in RAVENCLAW!" the hat pronounced loudly causing Keenan to nearly fall off the stool.
He was saved by the teacher standing next to him who caught him by his arm and helped him to the ground. "The Ravenclaw is the blue and bronze one." The lady whispered and gave him a slightly push with her hand.
Keenan was surprised to hear the room clapping and shouting in celebration as he mad his way over to the table. He was even further startled when he approached the table and was nearly keeled over by enthusiastic slaps to his back. He managed to get to an empty spot without falling over and shot a small grin to those who were sitting next to him.
Boggart:
Keenan took a deep breath as the line between him and the boggart grew shorter. He tried to pay attention to the other kids' fears..though he didn't find them amusing or funny in any way. Sure so anyone would be afraid of being surrounded by darkness..or spiders. Those were normal. He was sure that the other kids would be laughing at his fear.
He knew it shouldn't matter what other kids thought of his fear, but well..he just hoped it wasn't going to give anyone any ideas. Particularly any of the Ravenclaw girls that had already made some comments about his unruly hair. He tugged on the ends of his hair as if to reassure himself and heard the teacher say his name.
Keenan looked up and gulped, the boggart was already morphing into his fear. He pulled out his wand, and tried to think of something funny to turn it into. When the boggart settled, he groaned. It was an almost mirror image of himself, only his doppleganger's hair looked as though it had been buzzed cut and a very white prominent part was down the exact center of it. How utterly disgusting looking! He shuddered in disgust and whipped his wand up, shouting, "RIDIKULOUS!" nearly at the top of his voice.
The spell hit the boggart causing it to bowl over on the floor, and then it was covered in long curly purple fur from head to toes. Keenan laughed as it stood up and looked at it's self in puzzlement. The other kids in the room were flabbergasted as they had never seen such a creature before. Keenan had to actually tell them, "It's a purple sasquatch duh." Then he moved to take a seat back at his desk.
Mirror of Erised:
Keenan was once again on the run from a horde of girls. Why was it they were always trying to do things to his hair? He thought as he ran wildly down the halls, trying to find somewhere to hide from them.
When he had just about given up hope he was surprised to see a door on a wall that he had passed many times before that had never been there before. Without even thinking about it, Keenan wrenched the door open and slide inside, closing it as quietly as he could. He stood near the door, with his ear on it listening and waiting until their footsteps faded away.
He was about to sneak back out when he felt the pull of something magical in the room behind him and whirled around. At first there was nothing there that struck him as magical..but then there was a faint glow from what appeared to be a large mirror covered with a long white sheet.
Keenan pulled it up part way and peered under. The mirror shone glimmered once more, causing him to pull the sheet up further to get a better look at it. That's when he was stunned beyond words. The room around him had faded in the mirror's surface and now it looked like he was standing in some far secluded forest..a fores that no one had ever been in.
His eyes zeroed in on a shape moving behind his image in the mirror and as the figured grew closer and he realized what it was a loud shriek of excitement came out of his mouth, echoing in the room around him. "Oh no!" he whispered wincing and glanced around the room. Surely no one had heard that? He reached out to touch the shimmery surface wishing he could switch places with himself in the mirror, where he was meeting a Sasquatch for the very first time.
EXTRA CREDIT
Patronus:
He had hoped it would be a Sasquatch, but his patronus is a big furry dog.
Greatest Treasure:
Keenan's would consider his Sasquatch tooth and patch of fur his greatest treasures. His uncle Damian got them for him from a man that actually saw it. He even got to visit the man in America and see the place where the Sasquatch was seen.
Manner of Dress: He's often found with his shirts' untucked and his pants smudged with the charcoal that he draws with. His tie is normally untied and hanging around his neck or shoved into one of his pockets. Often his shoes are untied and he prefers slip on shoes to ones that tie. They take too much effort.
Favorite Class: History of Magic, it's pretty creepy and bloody and full of wars. Things that he likes. He also doesn't mind Care of Magical Creatures as the animals are interesting, not to mention creepy and strange.
Worst Class: he doesn't really have any worst classes, just some that don't interest him as much as others. Like Diviniation.

Notes: She looks good to me! Only a couple of things i can think of is be careful when playing the sister, Penelope... make sure if/until you get her sister, Penelope stays an Npc not a legit character and all that jazz ^^ Also Penelope isn't listed as a sister under family. GENERAL Name: Madisyn Alana Wendlin
Gender: Female
Birthday: November 16th
House: Hufflepuff
Blood Status: Half blood
Wand: Ash, Unicorn Hair core, 9 1/2 inches long
Wand Hand: Left PERSONALITY General: Madisyn is a punk rocker. She loves having oddly colored hair (pink being her favorite!) and playing her guitar (also pink!). She likes to be different, and tends to push the boundaries of the school dress code by adding in things that make her unique. This could be funky colored or patterned socks, or a funky hair barrette. She's generally a very easy going girl, but she does have a temper. She doesn't usually hold grudges unless it's something that seriously hurt or offended her. As a Hufflepuff, Maddie prefers the company of her housemates, but she's been known to befriend students from other houses. She's very loyal to her friends and will protect them as best she can.
Habits: Humming under her breath, daydreaming, getting distracted.
Hobbies: Playing her guitar, listening to music, singing.
Likes: Music, hanging with friends.
Dislikes: Bullies, silence. FAMILY Mother: Madeline Wendlin (Dewinter) - A Muggle, Madeline only knew her husband was special, not how special he was. It wasn't until Penelope and Madisyn started showing signs of being witches that she found out about the magical side of things. She works as a private chef.
Father: Philip Wendlin - A pure blood, Philip's parents weren't exactly thrilled that he married a Muggle, but they saw how in love he was and dealt with it. At Hogwarts, he was a Ravenclaw. He works as a florist and likes to make the flowers sing for his wife and daughters.
Siblings: Melanie Ava & Phoebe Eva (twins, 9) - Both girls show signs of being magical, so they will likely be joining their older sisters at Hogwarts in two years!
Relationship with Family: Madisyn loves her family, and gets along fairly well with her younger sisters. She and Penelope get along okay, but they also argue a lot. Penelope is the eldest, then Madisyn, with Melanie and Phoebe mere seconds apart. HISTORY General History: Madisyn's family has always lived in London, and will likely stay there forever. Her parents met in Philip's flower shop, when Madeline accompanied her friend who was getting married. After they met, she would often come into the shop to see him and it wasn't long before he asked her on a date. A little over a year later, they were married and nine months after that Penelope was born. Not long after that, Madisyn followed.
The Wendlins have pretty much been a normal kind of family. No loud parties, no dramatic fights. Just quiet and loving and fairly peaceful. Madisyn and Penelope have been known to get loud when they fight, but it's generally solved quickly and they're back to being friendly. MISCELLANEOUS Boggart: Spiders. She is absolutely terrified of spiders. Her boggart would probably show up as a huge, hairy spider.
Mirror of Erised: She would see herself in a band! She loves music and wants to be a guitarist in a band.EXTRA CREDIT The Sorting: Madisyn stood near her sister as they waited to be called. She was sure Penelope would be called first. Her sister was older, and usually did better in school than she did.
"MADISYN WENDLIN!" Maddie blinked, so surprised to hear her name called first that she almost missed it. If Penelope hadn't poked her, she probably would have. She grinned at the sour look her sister gave her. They'd probably argue about this later, but for now, she flounced up to the stool and flopped onto it. She was grinning still when the hat was placed on her head. She tried not to think of anything specific while the Sorting Hat probed into her mind. "Hmm...your father was a Ravenclaw, was he? Would you like to follow in his footsteps?" She could hear it chuckle as she made a face. She loved her dad, but there seemed to be a lot of reading involved with being a Ravenclaw. She'd much rather play music! "I can see that's a no. Not as studious as he was, perhaps. Well, then. Perhaps you will like.....HUFFLEPUFF!"
Madisyn was pleased with the hat's choice and skipped her way to join her new housemates.
Patronus: A lynx. Cats have always been Maddie's favorite animal; they make her feel safe and loved.
Greatest Treasure: Her guitar! She loves it to death.
Manner of Dress: Generally untidy. She doesn't always tuck her shirt in when she's supposed to, her hair tends to be messy.
Favorite Class: Charms and Flying
Worst Class: History of Magic

Gender: Female
Birthday: March 2nd
House: Hufflepuff
Blood Status: Mixed blood
Wand: Aspen wood, dragon heart string core, 11 inches.
Wand Hand: Right PERSONALITY General: Generally quiet around new people, Kennedy can be loud and playful with people she knows well. She enjoys making friends, but is not usually the one to initiate a conversation. She likes to keep her nose in her books whether she's reading for pleasure or to study. She isn't quite a Luddite, but she does prefer actual books to things like e-readers. One of the reasons she loves Hogwarts so much is because silly electronics don't work. She can often be found in the dorms or outside with parchment and quill, or pen and paper, or a book. Despite seeming grounded, she does like things such as Astronomy and believes in the readings of the stars.
Habits: Murmuring to herself, staring off into space.

Her parents met in a bar when they were young and had a whirlwind romance. Mairenn was pregnant with Kennedy before she and Teague were married, but this doesn't mean they loved each other or their children any less. They had always planned on getting married, but Kennedy's unexpected coming only put a rush on it. They've been happy and so much in love since they met and are likely to stay that way. Her family was extremely proud when she received her letter of acceptance to Hogwarts. Her entire life, Kennedy has been held up as a shining example for her younger siblings. She's proud to be inspiration to her siblings and hope they do as well in school as she has. MISCELLANEOUS Boggart: Her boggart would be a clown. She hates and fears them.

It was a couple years after they married that they were blessed with a daughter. Amalie was the first grandchild for both sides of her family and as such she was spoiled rotten from day one.

Mostly Accepted by Caffe.
Notes: I hate when i get notes like this but she doesn't seem like ravenclaw to me... She is kinda mary sue ish in my opinion.. Like she really could go anywhere and you just said here shove her in ravenclaw. So im looking for just a bit more of her cleverness or dedication to learning etc. The other thing im kinda wondering is how she got into surfing and just more in general... this may sound cliche or something but since she has the alt stages... i would think it should be more a part of her life then just the hobby. This is of course your opinion to expand on or not i just feel it should play a bigger part. I do say she is accepted since she is ok for right now. But i would kinda like to see a bit more expanding.Noted and hopefully fixed! New stuff is in red :3 Cute! Thanks for expanding ^^
She is completely accepted~    GENERAL Name: Marina Lilo Teller
Gender: Female
Birthday: July 27th
House: Ravenclaw
Blood Status: Mixed
Wand: Sycamore wood, Unicorn tail hair core, 13.5 inches
Wand Hand: Right PERSONALITY General: She's very easy going and playful. She likes to make friends and relax. This doesn't mean she doesn't like to have adventures. This Ravenclaw can be found just about anywhere she probably shouldn't be. She loves to explore her surroundings and once she's done that, she can get comfortable. She's very loyal to her friends and enjoys just hanging out. She enjoys watching Quidditch matches and can't wait until she's a second year so she can try out for the Ravenclaw team. She loves to learn new things, though she doesn't always like her subjects in school. Her favorite things to learn about are water dynamics (specifically what makes waves and what makes her stay on her surfboard and on the waves) and the dynamics of flying. She wants to be a professional Quidditch player when she grows up because even though surfing is her first love, the more she grows the more she finds she adores Quidditch.
Habits: Day dreaming, doodling
Hobbies: Surfing, swimming
Likes: Doing anything in the water, hanging out with friends, exploring
Dislikes: Getting into trouble, being bored. FAMILY Mother: Danna Teller (Raines) || Witch, Ravenclaw, Herbologist
Father: Robin Teller || Wizard, Gryffindor, Metal Charmer
Siblings: Kirsten Marie (sister, 5)
Extended Family: Ariana Raines (Aunt, Witch, Ravenclaw); Caetlin Raines (Grandmother, Witch, Ravenclaw); Chester Raines (Grandfather, Wizard, Ravenclaw); London Teller (Aunt, Witch, Gryffindor); Celestine Teller (Grandmother, Witch, Gryffindor); Ellery Teller (Grandfather, Wizard, Hufflepuff)
Relationship with Family: Her family is a lot of fun, relaxed and laid back. Her sister Kirsten can be uptight sometimes, but she gets over it usually. HISTORY General History: Danna and Robin met when they were at Hogwarts together. They started as friends and it wasn't until after they'd graduated that Robin asked for more than friendship. Danna had always had a crush on Robin, so she was extremely happy with this. A few years later they got married and it wasn't long before Marina was born. They live a mostly quiet life with vacations to the beach often. When Marina was little, her parents took her to Hawaii on vacation. During their trip there was a surfing competition while they were on the beach. Marina got to watch and since then she'd been fascinated with surfing. After that, her parents got her into surfing lessons and she's been in love with it since. Quidditch is more of a secondary love for her, coming after surfing. She likes to be active, and when she can't surf, she feels Quidditch would be a great way to stay active. The older she gets, however, the more she loves Quidditch since she can play it more often. MISCELLANEOUS Boggart: She hates having to rely on others for things, so her greatest fear could be her being paralyzed and having to rely on someone else for nearly everything, as well as never being able to play Quidditch or surf again.
Mirror of Erised: Her greatest desire is to play Quidditch professionally. EXTRA CREDIT Patronus: Probably a dolphin or other creature of the water.
Greatest Treasure: She doesn't have it yet, but her father promised her a broom when she makes it to her second year.
Manner of Dress: Mostly messy.
Favorite Class: Flying
Worst Class: History of Magic
