Relationship with Family: None HISTORY General History: Life is not easy and it was no different for him. He had been alone all he could remember about his early past is being alone and trying to live to the next day. but he was a life that loved to smile, poor and hungry but with a smile is how he was found when his small forgotten town was burning by raiders. He was taken into an orphanage, and there he wanted to stay it was the best life he knew at first. As he grew he would often travel out sometime be missing for days or weeks or even more and couldn't stay in one place too long before his need to explore took over. The orphanage was then visited by a strange person. they looked at the other children but when it came to Zabec they took a big interest in him, saying there was a lot more to him and would take him to a school to help. MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting: Zabec watched as he looked all around him it wasn't his first time seeing it anymore but in this grand room with all the student it was amazing! He look down as one by one the hat would yell out names of the house a child would go too, he looked at each house.. " Witch one would I go to?. Gryffindor? they seem like a good bunch." just then the hat yelled out Slytherin! he watch as they walked over to the cheering group in green and silver colors. He watched but heard that most of Slytherin seem to have a rather mean look not something he feels he would trust. looking at the other two Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. " So.. one is about being smart and the other hard working or something right?. Just then he saw it was his turn to take the seat and as the hat landed on his head he heard the voice "Ah another good one just need some work so where to put you best?" I thought to my self " well I guess it's be Gryffindor right?" the hat quickly replyed " No.. close but no I think you would do well with Ravenclaw?" I felt I made a strange face "WHAT? no, I think you got me wrong I'm not some bookworm!" the hat once again quickly said "No? I guess your right looking at what you got in here I know just where to send you!" Just as Zabec wanted to question him what, a loud voice boomed over him " Hufflepuff ! " Zabec was off the chair and looked at the cheers coming from the yellow Hufflepuffs "the hard workers?.. I'm a grunt? " he walked in and was welcomed " Hey there glad to see you join! Zabec shruged and commented " Thanks but I'm not sure why" a girl behind him replyed " If the hat called it then it was cuz he saw that you fit here best as Hufflepuff we are patience, just and loyal !" nodding to that he looked around "Loyal huh?.. ya I guess.. I just heard about being hard workers" the young girl smiled " Well ya.. we work hard, don't you work hard for the things you care about?" Zabec smiled back , it would seem he is glad to be here after all,
Boggart: Zabec would see himself badly beaten and on the ground but not alone all around him stand others with a very hateful look watching him on the floor these people are the people Zabec cares about people that he helped or helped him.. All of them have turn on him watching for his last breath to pass.
Mirror of Erised: He would see himself with others the people he cares about all with him, happy and care for each other and him. He would have someone close to him that loves him maybe he even see's a family one that he never had.

Approved by Viva Viola Approved by FigNote: Its Ravenclaw x3;;; Just a spelling error <3 She looks good.
Fig's Notes: 1. Photographic memories aren't exactly the fairest of things. I prefer if you changed that. 2) what happened with her noble blood family? Is that noble blood well known? 3) even if she does have a photographic memory, that's doesn't qualify being a ravenclaw. Especially if she's lazy with her studies. You need to elaborate on her Ravenclaw qualities.  GENERAL Name: Priscilla Shadowtongue
Gender: Female
Birthday: Oct 13
House: Ravenclaw
Blood Status: Mixed
Wand: Beech , dragon heartstring, solid, 12 inches
Wand Hand: Left PERSONALITY General: Prissy, obsessive, Deductive Reasoner and Studious
Habits: once interested in something she has to learn everything about it/them.
Hobbies: reading, setting trends, sneaking around, learning new languages
Likes: having fun, making others jealous, learning, traveling
Dislikes: ritualistic traditions, needles (borderline phobia) FAMILY Mother: Isabella
Father: Geoffry
Siblings: Jynxx (older brother)
Extended Family: N/A
Relationship with Family:The Shadowtongue’s are rich in the muggle world and in the wizardry world. They are not Cilla’s biological parents who were once a pure and proud but poor bloodline which ends with Cilla. The Shadowtongue’s took her in and adopted her when her deathly ill birth mother begged them to raise her daughter. They’ve only told Cilla that she’s adopted. They dote on her much older brother but make sure she has all the funds she’d want. They rarely care where she is as long as they don’t get any bad reports on her. And Cilla prefers that they’re that way, means she could follow her own paths. Until her adult adopted brother pokes his head into her business. Jynxx was a teen when Cilla joined the family. Both her adopted parents are only children and their parents have passed away. HISTORY General History: Priscilla, or Cilla as she preferred to be called was truly a spoiled brat and she loved it. She kept mostly to herself her first year. She threw herself into her studies and the available knowledge she had at her disposal. She still traveled with her parents on breaks and she’d gotten to go visit China, Italy and France so far. There was talk of going to America but so far she’d opted not to leave Hogwarts for that one. By second year, her classes were starting to bore her and so she couldn’t wait til 3rd year when she’d get to choose new classes. In the end she’d decided to take Arithmancy and Divination. For a Ravenclaw she didn’t care much for her grades and it was only thanks to her studious nature and deductive reasoning she managed to make it through most of them. She almost failed potions, Defense and had a huge problem in Charms. She understood the words of it all but when it came to applying that she wasn’t the best. Also she was known for getting so wrapped up in a topic that she would forget days, classes and even meals, so driven to know. So far she’s got a decent handle on French, Chinese, and Italian. She can understand, read and write them but has yet to even attempt to speak them fluently. She was chosen for Ravenclaw due to her insatiable obsession to learn those things that caught her interest. MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting:
Cilla had memorized the castle and grounds so when it came to entering the hall she stood back and watched the other students stare in awe. Granted there’d been a few things that had amazed her and she was itching to look into them more closely. She paid special attention to the names being called so she didn’t miss her own. She caught several other pure names and filed those for later. She got lost running through the old bloodlines so her name being called seemed to startle her for a moment.
She smiled politely to the professors and the hat before sitting on the stool. The hat thought and hummed and bantered with itself over Slytherin or Ravenclaw. She patiently waited not really minding either way long, her thoughts still on the research she wanted to do. ” Ravenclaw.” Still smiling she calmly walked down and sat with her new housemates, taking note of their names.
Boggart: Her wrinkly and ugly.
Mirror of Erised:
Her surrounded with wealth and faceless good looking people all around.

Approved by CynnybunNotes: I've never heard of Banyan wood being used for a wand, but I did manage to find that it does exist. Maybe explain what it is and its magical properties?
The personality is a good starting point, but I'd really like to see it expanded. There has to be more to him, even if music is a major part of his life!
Same thing with the history. I'm getting more of a family history and a music history than Vidor's personal history.
Patronus, Boggart, and his Favorite/Worst Classes could be explained; why these things?
Overall it's a good character, I'd just like to see a bit more expansion and depth. GENERALName: Vidor Gábor Boris
Gender: Male
Birthday: February 12th
House: Ravenclaw
Blood Status: Mixed
Wand: banyan wood, dragon heartstring, 12 and 1/2 inches long .It is darkly colored and is intricately carved.
Wand Hand: LeftPERSONALITYGeneral:
Vidor is a shy boy on the outside he would rather run from you then talk to you. He enjoys his studies and mostly keeps to himself. There is a bright spirit of music burning inside of him though. As if when he plays music the rest of the world and his walls crumble and he is able to be himself. Its his fear of people and their judgment that holds him back. He also doesn't wish to make his family unhappy by following a different music path, but the sound of loud rock music just does so much more for him then classical does.
Habits: Lifting his scarf over his mouth when he is nervous or doesn't want to say anything/ always wears a scarf no matter what the weather is like. Beating on the table or anything to make music will do it without realizing.
Hobbies: Learning everything he can about Music, playing ((trying to)) any type of instrument he can get his hand on, seems to like playing the drum the best.
Likes: Anything to do with theme and music. From the history, to writing to playing any type. Other people who share his interest in music. He enjoys studying in general though
Dislikes: Quite, large crowds((unless its the Boris family)), bringing attention to his musical abilities, playing slow songs ((only likes them if he is sad)) FAMILYMother: Julia Lin Cooper ((Muggle born, Slytherin))
Father: Elek Edvin Boris ((Pure blood, attended Durmstrang))
Siblings: None
Extended Family:
Boris family is huge enough said ((will detail names in journal))
Oliver Brandon Cooper ((Vidor's Grandfather)), Maria Lucy Cooper ((Vidor's Aunt))
Relationship with Family:Wonderful he loves them all very much and they are all very important to him. Even the further away family he manages to stay in close contact with. He only feels a slight amount of strain from wanting to have interest in different types of music that stray from the classical genre That the Boris family is known for. ((He can speak German pretty well because of the family in Austria and Hungary)) HISTORYGeneral History:The Boris family has always been a musically inclined family. The line is mostly pure, but they don't seem to care much about that of much of the normal wizarding world concerns. As long as there is a high quality in music and teachings they don't care if a person is muggle or mixed. Vidor's father was born in Hungary like most of the Boris line. In his wish to further his education in the profession of being a violinist he moved to Viviana, Austria to study with some of the world's best. While he was there he met the love of his life one Julia Cooper. She was studying violin just like he was. Their love soon lead to marriage and they moved to England to be closer to Julia's father and Sister. Even though They moved further away from the Boris family they still found ways to see each other often and when not face to face they sent stuff via owl. Family is a big thing to them so much so they often keep to themselves and rarely look for company else where. The family is musically inclined on both sides so it was naturally that Vidor had a never ending supply of it around him growing up. It was all the same though the classical genre that while he loved it lacked the beat and life of rock or swing or anything thing else along those lines. His father and mother push him to be a violinist, but in truth he doesn't want to do that as his career the thought of a crowd listening to him was scary. His family hoped he might grow out of some of his fear with the help of Hogwarts but only time will tell. MISCELLANEOUSThe Sorting:
Oh god Vidor hated it here already! There were so many people! He quickly pulled his brown scarf to cover his mouth so no one could easy read the fear on his quivering lip. He really didn't feel like he fit in here to much either, magic rather took a back seat to music where his family was concerned. He wasn't used to such things as floating candles and enchanted ceilings. Vidor looked about at the different house, he was grateful that there was and animal in each crest to help him identify each house he would hate to admit in front of everyone that he couldn't figure out which table to go to cause he was color blind. He was sure this was going to be a big problem in potions class too.
Vidor about jumped when his names was called. He attempted to sneak deeper into his scarf as he made his way to sit on the stool. He frowned inwardly figuring the hat was going to mess with his hair. He shouldn't have spiked it today but he always spiked it. One the hat was on it spoke to him and he fought another jolt he was half ready to run. "Well you're not a Gryffindor are you? Perhaps Slytherin might give you some back bone?" The hat said in a mocking way. "Oh no no please oh god they'll kill me." Vidor pleaded mentally. "Ok ok calm down....hmmm so its Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw..........." The hat mumbled as though thinking to himself. "I like to read." Vidor offered he didn't really like the idea of the Hufflepuffs for some reason. "RAVENCLAW." The hat shouted without another thought. Vidor could tell by the table waving to him and cheering which he could go to he quickly took a seat and sat quietly trying to fix his hair some how.
Boggart:
His violin teacher
Mirror of Erised:
Vidor alone playing instrument after instrument and sounding like a pro at each one

Accepted by Figgy:
Note: Nothing about Lucien himself is wrong, however, his father is the issue. A werewolf wouldn't be admitted to stay long term in St. Mungo's. St. Mungo's cares for people who are injured, which is why a werewolf was Arthur Weasley's roommate while he was in the hospital (he was JUST bitten)... But other than that, werewolves are full functioning people which is seen by Remus Lupin. With the wolfsbane potion, they are rendered almost harmless because they are able to retain their mind during a transformation (which is only once a month, so they are lucid and sane the rest of the time except for one day...) GENERAL Name: Lucien Talbot
Gender: Male
Birthday: August 26th
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Mixed
Wand: Hawthorn | Dragon Heartstring | Slightly Yielding | 14 1/2 inches
Wand Hand: Right  PERSONALITY General: Lucien is a young man with several layers, all of which intertwine and connect but many of which remain out of sight to the average observer, which is likely one of the key reasons he was picked for Slytherin to begin with. His subconscious is keen on on keeping many secrets and even his conscious motivations involve some form of misdirection. Don't misunderstand, Lucien is by no means a liar but, if he isn't obligated to tell something, he'll usually keep a great deal of information to himself.
He is a very organized and responsible boy, despite his age, and were it not for certain other factors in his personality he might have made a very good Ravenclaw with his study habits and work ethic. Aside from his family, Lucien doesn't have a lot of experience when it comes to understanding other people. However, he is the sort who finds personal gratification in compliments and positive attention, especially from his peers. Because of this, Lucien is quick to consider aspects of his life and personality that might be considered laughable or unpleasant to others. He feels this especially necessary within Slytherin house, but also with his pure blooded relatives.
Lucien can be rather sensitive towards criticism and negative opinions, so he is quick to try and backpeddle his way out of a disagreement, preferring to keep people's opinions of him positive even if it means sacrificing his public opinions and beliefs. One of the things Lucien is most keen on keeping from everyone is his father's situation. If they learn that he was a patient at St. Mungo's, there would be all sorts of accusations and rumors flying around. Worse yet, if they found out his father was a werewolf, rumors would then turn to Lucien and people may begin distrusting him or believing he to be a werewolf himself.
Habits: He likes keeping his hands in his pockets and often gets frustrated if he's wearing things that don't have them because he'll try to put his hands in them regardless. Lucien chews his lip often, sometimes to the point of making it bleed, especially if he's under pressure. When concentrating, he has a tendency to think out loud and may forget whether he's alone or not when doing so.
Hobbies: Lucien is an observer by nature and something of a people watcher. He is quite studious and takes notes on a lot of things, including people's habits and, because he has a strong memory, he can usually pick out inconsistencies in conversations and when people are lying (though he's not the type to call people out on it). When all else fails, being a good student passes the time and he tries quite hard to keep his grades up, looking for any chance he can get to do extra credit work.
Likes: Coconut flavored things, medium rare meats, static shocking people (teehee), soft cotton sweaters, feeling all warm and bundled, cool night air
Dislikes: Most green vegetables, sour candies, being lied to or intentionally mislead, strong smells, cats, overly bright colors FAMILY Mother: Rosalina de Rais Talbot | Pureblood | Ravenclaw | 29 years old | Stay at home mother
Father: Victor Talbot | Half Blood (werewolf) | Hufflepuff | 31 years old | Unemployed but looking for work
Siblings: Tanis Talbot | Brother | Mixed Blood | 3 years old
Extended Family:
Sonja de Rais | Aunt | Pureblood | Slytherin | 37 years old | Editor for the Daily Prophet
Jonathan Talbot | Uncle | Half Blood | Hufflepuff | 22 years old | Apparition Test Center employee
Charlotte de Rais | Cousin | Pureblood | 10 years old
Tipsie | House Elf | Female | Serves Sonja de Rais' house
Relationship with Family: Lucien has a good relationship with his immediate family. His parents were on the younger side when they had him, and as their oldest and only child for some time, he was quite pampered. His mother became pregnant with Tanis just a few months prior to his father's accident. Since, Lucien has been subjected to his bratty young cousin and his flighty aunt who doesn't sympathize with their situation and believes Victor to be a lost cause due to his condition. The only one outside of himself and his mother who seems to understand is his young uncle Jon who acts more like a brother than an uncle and was usually the one who takes Lucien to visit his father before his release. What with being at school most of the time, he hasn't gotten to know his own brother very well now that he's learning to speak. It is difficult for him to appreciate Tanis due to his young age as well as taking up most of his mother's attention.HISTORY General History: Rosa and Victor Talbot lead a calm life. The two met in their latter years at Hogwarts and had an innocent, though sometimes on-again-off-again romance until graduation. Because Rosa's parents had already passed away and it was only herself and her sister, she didn't have to worry about being judged too harshly for falling in love with someone that wasn't a pure blood -- though her sister was certain to voice her opinions on the matter, none of which were good. The two moved to London to make commuting to work easier. When Rosalina became pregnant, Victor took on as many jobs as he could to help her and his family and Rosa's sister helped as well. The two were able to be comfortable in time for their first son, Lucien, to be born. They raised him well, the two teaching him all about wizarding life and Victor sneaking in lessons about muggles here and there.
Everything went smoothly for the family until Lucien was eight years old. His mother became pregnant again and this lead to a lot of confusing emotions for the boy who had been so dutifully pampered as their one and only for so long. Not only that, but a few months later his father came under the attack of a werewolf. It was determined the wolf was freshly under the curse himself. Thankfully, his fathers wounds were able to be treated and his life was saved. Unfortunately, he too contracted the werewolf curse. To keep him from being a danger to himself and others, Victor was hastily shipped off to St. Mungo's prior to his first full moon where they would be able to keep him safe. Lucien was devastated, always feeling closest to his father who now was so suddenly absent from his life. This thrust a great deal of responsibility on him that he wasn't ready for, in particular being the man of the house and having to help his pregnant mother.
It didn't take long for his aunt to step in and snatch the two of them up, bringing them to her home. Lucien had been acquainted with his aunt and cousin before, but they were usually kept at arms length, and for good reason he figured. The two of them seemed so out of touch with reality, stuck in their own little worlds of self importance, he couldn't stand it. His aunt never stopped talking about her opinions of his family's situation, most of all his father. She called him incompetent for having been bitten in the first place and said they would have been better off if he had perished in the attack instead of becoming such a loathesome creature himself. His cousin Charlotte was no different, often reiterating her mother's criticisms when the two children were alone. After months of stress and worry and constant taunting, Lucien had a new problem to worry about. His baby brother, Tanis, was born and now he had even more responsibility. It didn't take him long after to hit a snapping point and when he and Charlotte were forced, yet again, to keep each other occupied, she was quick to slip in the insults. Lucien's reaction could have been worse considering she was younger than him, and his aunt's precious little brat, but a shove was all he needed to get a swift punishing hand across his face and a good stern talking to. Before then, he had never really done anything that had constituted punishment, save for maybe taking an extra cookie when he wasn't supposed to, and he came to a stark realization because of it; Lucien didn't like people being cross with him, not one bit.
This began Lucien's spiral into hiding his true motives, suppressing his more radical believes, and making sure no one he didn't want to knew precisely how he felt about anything if it disagreed with them even in the slightest. It was difficult, to be certain, but in the long run he found things in the household to go a lot smoother if he just pretended to agree with everything they said and kept himself out of any confrontations. Unfortunately, the boy still needed an outlet and his lead to him often sneaking out for a few minutes at night to be by himself, have a good scream or cry, maybe rip up some grass and kill bugs. Whatever helped him keep a clear head when it mattered. This also made the trips to visit his father even more special, as they were one of the only chances he got to truly be himself anymore and he was always so happy to see his dad doing well despite his condition. They had gotten into a groove for several months while his father recovered and was taught how to make the wolfsbane potion. Just as sudden as his moving to St. Mungo's had been, his father was back in his life but they had already been uprooted. He moved in with them at Lucien's aunt's until he found a consistent job. His mother began looking for work as well, in spite of her being out of practice in the years she was raising Lucien and Tanis.
This all threw a wrench into Lucien's mental escapes. Everything felt like it was becoming worse for the boy as he now was unable to get away from everyone to see his father. Despite Victor living with them again, the entire experience was spoiled thanks to his aunt and cousin and Lucien felt like he couldn't fully enjoy his father's company anymore, at least with them around. When it came time for him to prepare for Hogwarts, Lucien couldn't have been more ready to get out of the house. His father and uncle Jon took him to Diagon Alley to pick out his things and everything seemed to be going much more smoothly and stress free when he was away from home. The idea of being away for months on end was bittersweet; while he knew he would miss his family, the relief he would feel away from his aunt and cousin would be immeasurable. Considering his house placement, it may not be as relieving as Lucien initially thought. MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting: When Lucien's name was called, he glanced around warily. To be put on the spot like this was stressful, let alone in front of literally the entire school. He stepped up to the seat and the hat was placed upon his head. It ruffled and mumbled, chuckling to itself. "Oh, you've got lots of secrets, haven't you?" its voice sounded slimy inside his head and Lucien cringed, "Sneaky little one. You certainly know how to hide your cards." The boy grabbed the hem of his robes as he bit his lip, trying hard to keep his gaze from rising and seeing all of the eyes locked onto him. "Ooh, yes, I know just where to place you, lad." Lucien's eyes burst open as the hat shouted out loud with a triumphant roar, "Slytherin!" and he could see some of the disappointed looks from the other tables and first years who were yet to be sorted. Without a word, he shuffled quickly to his seat and was greeted by his house, first years and older. It didn't take them long to start laying down who was who and what was important, and Lucien soaked it up like a sponge.
Boggart: His father, blood thirsty and transformed, threatening to attack him. If the Boggart Banishing Spell were used, the terrifying form of the werewolf would shrink down comically to the size of a yappy chihuahua and begin chasing its tail or performing otherwise adorable puppy-like antics.
Mirror of Erised: In the mirror, Lucien gives a potion to his transformed father. When the werewolf drinks it, his transformation regresses. He's cured! Lucien wants nothing more than to bring about this change in his father, to free him of the cursed anguish he must suffer due to his condition. The result would no doubt strengthen their bond, as well as prove himself useful to countless individuals afflicted similarly.EXTRA CREDIT Patronus: Lucien would directly claim, if asked, that his patronus took the form of a wolf. That is, in fact, quite obviously what it is. If one was studious enough and looked closely, however, the differences between wolf and werewolf would be quite clear. His patronus takes this form due to his father's condition and the love he still has for him despite it.
Greatest Treasure: Letters from his father. Lucien is sure to write his father any chance he gets, knowing it keeps his spirits up and that thought alone keeps the boy's up as well. Positive word from his father could uplift almost any sour mood Lucien might be faced with.
Manner of Dress: He tries to dress well and leave a good first impression, both on adults and others around his age. Lucien wants to have an air of respect, so he seems like someone people can look up to, but often it looks as though he's stuffy and trying to appear more mature than he really is. Despite this, he does value function over form and will go for what's most comfortable rather than what's most stylish. If he can be comfortable in a simple t-shirt and jeans, that's fine, but you can bet neither of them will have a single stain if he's going to be wearing them in front of people.
Favorite Class: Defense Against the Dark Arts. Even if it's not his best class, it's one Lucien takes great pride and interest in. He knows eventually, some year, the curriculum will concentrate on werewolves and he is avidly looking forward to the occasion so as to gain more knowledge and understanding of his father's condition and help him. That and the prospect of being able to defend himself as needed is comforting in and of itself.
Worst Class: Herbology. Lucien doesn't have much of a green thumb so he usually just does exactly what his partner tells him or makes up for the damage he does to his grade in class through exemplary essays, homework, and tests.

Accepted by Fig:
Note: Just for clarifications sake, is his mother a muggle or a muggleborn? Character Basics Name: Ezra Mayfield Gender: Male Year: Third House: Slytherin Blood Status: Mixed Birthday: December 2nd Wand:Hawthorn, Dragon Heartstring, 11 1/2 inches, springy. Wand Hand: Right PERSONALITYGeneral:
+Determined; Once he has a goal in his mind, he will accomplish it, come hell or high water.
+Loyal; He's the type that has only a small circle of friends, but would do anything for them.
+Well mannered; Unlike most of the boys his age, he is very well mannered and not at all rambunctious. Having a cup of tea and discussing something like Magical Creature Rights is far preferable to Quidditch.
-Arrogant; He tends to be a bit on the snobbish side at times, a good deal due to his upbringing.
-Vain; He's quite handsome and he knows it well. He takes pride in his clothing, (all top of the line Muggle designers mind you) and looks down on people who do not take as much pride in their appearances.
-Overconfident/cocky; He knows where he shines, both in looks and academics, and he loves to let others know it.
As a whole, Ezra appears a bit old for his years. The subject of the rights of Magical non human races, such as Centaurs has long fascinated him, and he makes it a point to read the whole of every morning's Daily Prophet. Students that don't know him often mistake him for being at least a fifth year, simply because of the way he speaks and carries himself.
Habits:
He's known for nearly always having something in his mouth. Gum, hard candies (His sister sends him a bag of jolly ranchers at least once a week), his fountain pens...He's not sure how it got started, but there's quite a few mangled writing utensils at the bottom of his trunk.
Hobbies:
Drawing- He's not very good, or so he claims, but he loves to draw little doodles of creatures in the margins of his notes, and occasionally scenery of the grounds if something catches his eye.
Reading- Ezra is a bit of an overachiever, and he often does additional reading, especially on his favorite subjects.
Likes:
Wizarding world Politics
Muggle fashion
McDonalds- Even if the closest one hours away.
Dislikes:
Those who think blood status is everything
Pumpkin Juice
FAMILYMother: *muggle* Elizabeth Jones- Mayfield- A well mannered, pleasant woman from a wealthy Muggle family and has a large trust fund. She stayed at home to raise Ezra, and enjoys gardening.
Father: James Mayfield- Freelance journalist for a small Potions magazine. Ezra is much like his father as far as the quiet type goes. Their 'bonding' mostly consists of wizarding politics, and playing chess. James is from a long line of wizards, almost all of whom highly disapproved of his marriage to a muggle woman, and have since fallen out of contact with him.
Siblings:Isabella Mayfield- Ezra's ten year old sister. Her and Ezra aren't particularly close, but Ezra still sends her sweets from Hogsmeade from time to time. And he does have a bit of a big brother protective streak in him.
Extended Family:He has a few cousins attending Hogwarts that he knows of, but beyond a mutual nod or hello when passing each other in the hallways, he does not associate with them.
Relationship with Family:
Ezra is on good terms with his family. He looks up to his father, and enjoys intellectual conversations, and chess with him. He dotes on his little sister, though he would never admit to it. He and his mother aren't particularly close, but by no means are they on bad terms.
HISTORYGeneral History:
Ezra grew up as a very privileged youngster. He attended a private muggle school, was in several enrichment programs, and generally had the best of everything money could buy, because of his mother's inheritance.
When it comes to things of a materialistic nature, he can be a bit snobbish or spoiled. But his father instilled in him at a very young age that the most important things must be earned, and in some ways, perhaps taught him that a bit too well, as he became a very determined young man, and too often pushes himself too far when it comes to doing things to his satisfaction.
As far as skill and intelligence goes, he is average, but like a true Slytherin, he is ambitious, and puts his all into everything that is asked of him.
Most Memorable Event: His first trip to Diagon alley. He was 8 at the time, and it was shortly after the first time he showed signs of magic. As a celebration, They took the train ride into London, and James showed him all the shops. James offered to buy him a broomstick, but Ezra showed only mild interest, and instead pulled him to the next shop, which was a pet store, and in the window sat a fat green cat. James showed mild concern for bringing home a green cat when they lived in a muggle neighborhood, but in the end gave into his son's pleading eyes, and the cat henceforth known as Emmy became Ezra's closest companion. (It is perhaps fortunate that the cat hates everyone else aside from Ezra, and hides whenever visitors are over)
Rp Prompt:
You happen to be walking down Diagon Alley, getting your school supplies, when you hear someone yell "Thief!" and you notice a man running down an alley--Whoa! Now hold your horses, kid! You're still only thirteen, you can't just go hunting down robbers! It could be dangerous! You glance around and you notice there's a bucket, half a broom (it looks like it was snapped in some sort of tree versus broom showdown...), and a shoe nearby. You, of course, also have your wand. What do you do?
Prompt Response:
Ezra had just exited a shop with a tall package of books in his arms when he heard the shouting, and spotted the man in the alley. Quickly, he set his books down on the sidewalk and pulled out his wand, shouting 'Impedimenta!' as he pointed it at the man. The spell seemed to have little effect, as the thief continued down the alley, though he seemed to have slowed down. Again, Ezra shouted the spell, and again, to little effect. Frustration from failure boiled up inside of him, and he began to shout the spell for a third time when a ministry of magic official stopped the man in his tracks, and actually scolded Ezra for trying to stop the thief, threatening to give him an official warning for using magic outside of school.
It took all of his self control to contain his composure while the older man lectured him, for trying to do the right thing! And not only was he being scolded, he wasn't able to stop the thief himself. He failed to cast the spell properly, whether or not it was an advanced spell for his age didn't matter to him.
His trip to Diagon Alley- a day that was always full of excitement- had been ruined for him, and what riled him the most, was not that he had failed to stop the thief, but that he had failed to cast the spell properly.
MISCELLANEOUSThe Sorting:
Ezra stared at the hat from his place midway through the line of first years, and he was stumped. He had always thought that at this point in his life, he would know exactly which house he would be placed in. But when he thought about himself, he really couldn't figure it out. He was reasonably smart, but not particularly clever- not in the way that his father, who was a ravenclaw was. He was a loyal friend, and though he didn't come off as overly friendly, he was always willing to give people a chance. He was a hard worker, and determined, and brave too, he supposed. All of the qualities of the different houses ran through his mind as he progressed in line, and before he knew it, his name had been called, and he sat down and had the sorting hat placed on his head.
At first the hat seemed to ponder the same things that Ezra had, but finally called out Slytherin!
Ezra hopped down from the stool and looked over to the Slytherin table. They got a bad reputation from some, but he shrugged it off. There had to be a few jerks in every house. He thought about what it meant to be a Slytherin, and felt a bit of pride that the hat had chosen this house for him, and he walked over and sat down with the rest of the first years with a grin.
Boggart:
His hard work helps him excel at virtually everything he sets his mind to.
A boggart to him would probably be an version of him without all the things he was working now to achieve.
Mirror of Erised:Ezra would see himself in a position of import. Not something like minister of magic, but as a great auror, or something similar. EXTRA CREDIT
Patronus: a Ram- meaning confidence in one's abilities, courage, and achievement.
Greatest Treasure:His wand. To him, magic is everything. It represents his drive to be the best, and his abilities with spells are how he values himself.
Manner of Dress:
Ezra prefers muggle fashion to wizarding, and he is always dressed impeccably with the latest and trendiest muggle fashions, compliments of packages from his mother.
Favorite Class:
Ancient Runes- The class is a challenge, and learning about ancient magic fascinates him greatly.
Worst Class:
Care of Magical Creatures- Sure, they're interesting enough, but he doesn't see how it can benefit him to learn about them- especially since anything third years would come into contact with aren't particularly dangerous.

Gender: Male
Birthday: September 1
House: Huffelpuff
Blood Status: Half-Blood
Wand:Hazel, Dragon Heart String, 10 ½ in.
Wand Hand: Right PERSONALITY General:
Victor is a determined person, not to fit in or wear the right trendy clothes but academically fit in. He is half blood and some look down on him for it. He always tries to keep a positive attitude and outlook on life even though he’s outgoing and loves to hang out with friends, he sometimes just wants to curl up with a good book and read. He tries too hard to impress people with his ability to retain knowledge. Not that he really understands it but it comes in handy for studying and helping others. He is a loyal friend to any that wishes his friendship and Loyal to his house mates as well, although that loyalty can change if he feels betrayed in anyway. He is honest to a fault as he will tell you how it is whether you like it or not and that can be bad sometimes. He is not one to lie to you to make you feel better and save your feelings. So his honesty is good and bad at the same time. He is hard working and likes to work for what he achieves in life, be it grades or money or trophies. At the same time he prefers to use his time wisely than go out and squander away that time that can be better used to do homework or study for exams. If all work is done than sure he’ll take part in some fun with his friends. He likes his space clean and tidy. He even knows when an item has been moved out of place and hates it with a passion when people touch or move his stuff. He is OCD to an extreme measure and he faults himself for hit all the time. He calls it a bad thing but others don’t see it as such.
Victor has a few friends that he hangs with but he prefers the company of books over friends and his friends poke fun at him for it but he tries not to let it eat at him and just laughs it off in a sarcastic manner. He has had a few house mates find out the hard way how honest he can be and how much he hates having his stuff moved out of place. But nevertheless, he got over it and apologized to them as is his nature to not really have enemies, but sometimes it just can’t be helped.

Relationship with Family: Victor gets along great with his family and loves his little sister to death. He is very protective of her and doesn’t like when she is picked on in school. He enjoys helping his mother around the salon during his free time or when home for the holidays. He also helps his father with his cases and keeps him organized when at home. He loves hanging with his cousins and can’t wait to hang with his cousin Alistair when he goes to Hogwarts HISTORY General History:
Victor was born and raised in Glastonbury, Scotland with is mother and father. At the age of three, his parents brought home his younger sister Karen from the hospital and he instantly felt as if he had to watch over her. He was so eager to help his mother with caring for her and feeding is sister that when he was told that he couldn't it made him upset. He felt that he wasn't worthy of being the older brother but his father later told him that it was because he was too young and that they were afraid that he might drop her. Victor was told that he could help do small things like play with her make her happy when she was crying and so that is what he did. When he was five, he sent to a normal, muggle school to learn during his elementary years. He grew up hearing stories from his mother and father of Hogwarts and the type of school it was, the type of things he could learn. His parents knew that he would get accepted and it would only be a matter of time before the letter came by owl. As the years passed, Victor stated to help out more around the house and help his sister, who was a few grades behind him, with her homework. September first came so quickly that year, a surprise party was planned for him and all his friends were invited. His mother and sister baked a cake and he got all sorts of clothes and books from his friends. The party died down and everyone left. It was at this time that his parents gave him their gifts. His mother gave him a golden key on a silver chain and told him he would know what to do with it when the time came. His father told him that his gift would arrive when he least expected it and with that a brown owl showed up with a letter for Victor. No this was not his father’s gift but the letter of acceptance to Hogwarts. His father’s gift came a week after he settled in to the academy, the gift was his father’s broom, the key was for a vault just for him so he could have money to buy the books and supplies he needed for school.
MISCELLANEOUS
The Sorting:
On the day of the opening ceremonies, Victor walked in with the rest of the new students to the great hall. He stood with the rest of the first years as he waited for his name to be called. Although it was not a long wait, it still felt like forever and he was so nervous that he was shaking. He walked up the steps and sat down on the stool. As the hat was placed on his head it did not take long for the sorting hat to come to a decision. The sorting hat shouted out Huffelpuff! And with that the hat was removed and he walked down to the Huffelpuff table.
Boggart:
His Sister in pain or dead
Mirror of Erised:
Getting good grades in all his classes (seems corny I know) EXTRA CREDIT
Patronus:
A Wolf: Wolves are loyal and protective creatures. They travel in packs since strength is in numbers but they also look out for each other, like a family and family is important to victor. He likes to protect his sister when he can from anything that could harm her and as a Hufflepuff, he is very loyal to his friends and family. Wolves are also intelligent and Victor can associate with that because he is very smart and can out wit someone if he needs to.
Greatest Treasure:
Father’s Broom
Manner of Dress:
Neat and tidy, not to fancy and not trendy, he has his own style.
Favorite Class:
History of Magic- he loves to learn and want to know more about the magical world

Accepted by Fig GENERAL Name: Payton Silas Lake.
Gender: Male.
Birthday: January 3rd.
House: Hufflepuff.
Blood Status: Half-blood.
Wand: 12 and 3/4 inches, white-washed dogwood | "Amusingly swishy." Always fun to wave around, excellent for Charms | Core obtained from a particularly feisty but altogether reliable female unicorn. A wand Ollivander expects Payton will have to "grow into."
Wand Hand: Left hand.PERSONALITY General: Payton can generally be described as...calm, childish, and fairly innocent. He's changed a lot since he started at Hogwarts. He isn't quite so calm around people he's comfortable with. He isn't immature, but his timidity gives most people the idea that he's at least inexperienced in the ways of life. This isn't entirely false. Since he was born, his parents doted on him. They've always been highly encouraging, as all parents should be, but he was almost never argued with or told "no." Evan, six years older than Payton, was fiercely protective of his brother. As Payton got older, Evan was always there to guide him. Payton always felt secure and loved, but he ran into difficulty when other people wouldn't give him the same sort of ease that his family gave him. If anyone argued with him, he'd get frustrated, and if he wasn't given what he wanted, not matter how polite he was, he would take it far too personally. Payton was always a timid and anxious kid, so he sought refuge in muggle novelties like video games and television. Though his parents encouraged his budding interest in art, something he had a natural talent for, he always preferred the ease of slipping into a video game world. This only furthered his social illiteracy. Conversation with strangers were grueling because he would constantly worry about saying something that would be taken as stupid or offensive. As much as he wanted to please other people, he just didn't seem to have the skills for it.
When Payton started attending Hogwarts, his social skills began to improve. Because he had no electronic worlds to escape to, he was forced to seek entertainment with other people. Evan was in his last year at Hogwarts when Payton was starting, and it helped that Payton had been sorted into the Hufflepuff house, along with Evan, because they were exceedingly welcoming. Few of them cared if he was shy, and they hardly bugged him about it. By the end of the year it was understood that Payton was one of the hardest workers in his year. He never asked for help from others, bent on being self-sufficient. The few close friends he had knew him to be a noble and reliable friend, sometimes even going so far as to help others with their studies (because he was always good at that stuff). When he came back for his second year, he was visibly detached. Everyone had heard about Evan's death over the Summer. The support he received from his house, and even others, was overwhelming. By the end of his second year, he was finding ways to cope and move on. Now, with a summer of coping after his second year, he's a third year with a clearer path in mind. Evan's death inspired him to strengthen himself, solidify his convictions. Though Payton now has issues with post-traumatic stress (furthering his anxiety in certain situations and screwing with his sleep habits) he is, overall, a more open person. His social skills are still lacking somewhat, often being sarcastic at the expense of others and lacking the ability to empathize with others fully. A lot of the kids, especially Slytherins make fun of him for being girly.
Habits: When he was younger, he had countless nervous habits. Now, he only has a problem with picking and biting his nails. He grows out his thumbnails so that he can chew on them without biting them. He often has nightmares.
Hobbies: When he latches on to something he's interested in, he will spend hours reading and learning about it. He's especially interested in Wandlore and creatures, magical and mundane, both of which go hand in hand. He's always been a talented artist, encouraged by his mom and aunt. Just recently he's focused his artistic endeavors on apparel design.
Likes: Payton likes being social. He likes attention. He just sucks at communication. He loves to draw. He's obsessed with fashion and tattoos. He likes being outside, loves animals, and could spend years in a library. He will never turn down a chance to play a game, especially with other boys.
Dislikes: Payton really hates not getting enough sleep, but it's a trend recently. He's intimidated by excessively masculine guys because they tend to criticize his softer nature. He doesn't like ugly things, though his idea of ugly isn't concrete. He's obsessed with "fairness" and will often call people out for being unfair. FAMILY Mother: Nastasia Kae [Sutherland] Lake: Muggle. Art therapist.
Father: Rigel Tobias Lake: Half-blood. Ravenclaw. Muggle Relations.
Siblings: Brother: Evan Baron Lake: Half-blood. Hufflepuff. Deceased [17, would be 19].
Extended Family:
Maternal:
Aunt: Arabella Paige Sutherland-Faustus: Muggle. Interior designer.
Uncle: Charles Wayne Faustus: Muggle. Journalist.
Cousin: Amber Skye Faustus: Muggle. [7].
Paternal:
Uncle: Aldebaran Mathias Lake: Half-blood. Ravenclaw. Auror.
Cousins: Altair Kade and Aquila Diane Lake: Half-blood. Ravenclaw. [18 and 19 respectively].
Aunt: Alexandria Vega Lake: Half-blood. Ravenclaw.
Relationship with Family: Within the most recent couple of years Payton and his parents have become very close. With the loss of his brother, Evan, he and his parents sought comfort and support with each other. Payton and his parents have a good relationship with Nastasia's younger sister, Arabella, and her family, who've always been reliable relatives. Having always lived near them, Payton's influences mostly come from his mother's side of the family. Payton and his parents aren't as close with Rigel's side of the family, however. For the longest time Payton's father and uncle, Aldebaran, have had an unmistakable tension between them. Only the two brothers know the origin of the tension, but that didn't stop the sentiments from being passed down to Aldebaran's children. Naturally conniving and deceptive, Aquila could get Altair to do anything. Much of their younger years, that included bullying Payton each and every time they saw each other. Payton, always too passive to act, simply let a quiet resentment grow. It's likely because of this familial chasm between Rigel and Aldebaran that Rigel's two sons were sorted into Hufflepuff rather than Ravenclaw like the rest of the Lake family. They grew up with more influence from their mother's side of the family. HISTORY General History: Rigel and Nastasia met the second year Rigel had been officially part of the Muggle Relations division of the Ministry of Magic. She seemed perfect to him. Intelligent, ambitious, kind. She was working to be an art therapist, which Rigel found fascinating. The two developed a friendship over the span of three years before Rigel asked her out. It then took another five years before he asked her to marry him. They had Evan two years after that. At this point, Rigel hadn't told Nastasia about his job or the fact that he was a wizard. When he decided to tell her, they suffered a major falling out that nearly broke them. They knew Evan needed them, but it wasn't Evan that kept them together. Their love was too great.
This accounts for the major gap between Evan's and Payton's births. Evan was five, going on six, when Payton was born. Evan took to Payton immediately, thrilled to be a big brother and take on some responsibility. Evan felt important and needed, and Rigel and Nastasia encouraged this happiness. It was a great thing to encourage, happiness for caring for someone. As Payton got older, Evan was always there. His parents were always there. Even his Aunt Bella was always there. Payton had a lot of love in his life.
When Evan started going to Hogwarts, magic began to find a place in their household. Payton had gone along with the rest of the family to Diagon Alley for Evan's school shopping and he became absolutely enamored with everything, especially the wands. He was utterly fascinated by this world. He'd only been five years old, but the memories would probably remain vivid for the rest of his life.
A year later, Payton's cousin, Amber, was born. Payton hadn't been sure how to react to the situation. Not at the time. But as Amber got older, she become attached to him for the same inexplicable reason babies tend to love things. Life was good.
Soon enough, Payton's Hogwarts Acceptance letter showed up and he was whisked off. Evan was seventeen, young enough to give Payton a year of guidance before he was off to his magical adulthood. It took Payton some getting used to, but by the end of the year he was feeling pretty good. He went home with Evan to spend one last summer together before Evan would move out. Midway through the summer, however, Payton had woken up with Evan missing.
His search led him to the backyard where the shed door was suspiciously cracked slightly. Out of habit, Payton brandished his wand, but he knew even if he'd been allowed to, he would've have used it. Peeling the door open, he found Evan in a chair in the center of the shed. His head was tossed backward over the back of the chair, his chest large and swollen, open like a huge red rose in full bloom. How he'd done it, Payton had never asked. He never wanted to know.
After throwing up his breakfast on his mother's hydrangeas he rushed inside, woke up his parents, and managed to point them to the backyard before curling up in their bed and passing out. The accepted explanation was suicide, but no one could think of why Evan would kill himself. It didn't matter to Payton. He wasn't going to think about it if he could avoid it. It took him some time to move on, but thanks to his friends and his home away from home he was able to stay strong. In memory of his brother, he vowed to be just as good a protector for Amber as Evan had been for him. MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting: Payton yawned. There was always something about anxiety and nervousness that made the first-year yawn uncontrollably, sometimes to the point that his jaw began to ache. He'd pushed his hands into his pockets to hide the shaking. The only thing that could make him more anxious in this situation would be everyone seeing just how anxious he was. Payton was convinced the other kids would have plenty of ammo against him, he didn't need to give them anything else to cling to.
In an attempt to calm his nerves as he realized his name was coming up, Payton looked back toward the Hufflepuff table. Searching the faces, he found a pleasantly familiar boy with handsome features remarkably similar to his own. Evan, a seventh-year, gave his little brother a smile and a reassuring wave. Payton smiled slightly and turned back around just as... "Lake, Payton!"
His heart leaped and began to pound hard against his rib cage. Quietly making his way toward the stool, he climbed up and stared down at his small, white hands. He began picking at his fingernails furiously as the Sorting Hat alighted upon his shaggy brown hair. "Hmmmmm." The hat grumbled. "Haven't grown into your robes yet? So to speak..." Payton furrowed his brow. On the train he'd been very conscious of how big his robes looked on him. Furthermore, it was an interest choice of words because Ollivander had said nearly the same thing about his wand. Payton was pretty sure their comments had little to do with his physical stature. "You are unmistakably of Ravenclaw blood. And the house would certainly do good for your boundless curiosity and thirst for knowledge..." The Sorting Hat hummed, thinking. It was true. Payton's interests ran the gamut. Pursuing knowledge was something his father heavily encourage, but it was never given to him. Payton would always work tirelessly if he had enough passion to chase after it. "You have a long way ahead. HUFFLEPUFF."
Boggart: Payton's eyelids lifted, the boggart coming into focus. Before him stood a shed, seven feet tall and perfectly square on all sides. It was an assuming, tin-clad shed, the likes of which were common in back yards. But it was a specific shed. A very familiar shed. Even the teal paint was chipping in the same places. He flashed back to a blood-soaked interior. Who could be inside this time? His mom? Dad? ...Amber? The door was closed, but as he stood there, it popped open slightly. The door began to swing open...
Mirror of Erised: The mirror was tall. Much taller than he'd expected. His reflection in the center of the frame seemed forlorn and tiny. He blinked and suddenly a glowing white figure arose from behind him and wrapped white-clad arms around his shoulders. An angel? Surely not. Was it Evan he was seeing there? He swore...the angel's face looked just like him. Payton did want his brother back, but the mirror was showing him what he wanted on a far deeper level. It was a comforting embrace he was being given, one only a protector could give. One person to accept him, defend him, and love him for all the love he would give them. Something he wondered if he'd ever have.EXTRA CREDIT Patronus: Payton's Patronus takes the form of a monarch butterfly. At first offended by the seemingly inferior Patronus, Payton grows to appreciate it. Symbolic of the soul in many cultures, the butterfly signifies the completion of metamorphosis. Overcoming adversity to come out better and more beautiful in the end.
Greatest Treasure: 13 inch ebony wand, "averagely pliable," unicorn hair core. Evan's old wand. Payton's never used it, nor does he intend to.
Manner of Dress: Payton is very fashionable for his age. He loves to experiment with colors, often dressing in unexpected color combinations. He's becoming more and more bold when it comes to his appearance.
Favorite Class: Payton has an unexpected affinity for Divination which he can now take as a third-year. He enjoys the class because he does well, but for sheer excitement and interest, his favorite class is Care of Magical Creatures.
Worst Class: Though Payton could do decently in Defense Against the Dark Arts, the briefest consideration of Dark Arts causes him to fail on tests.

Approved by Charmaine GENERAL Name: Tommy Jae Townsend
Gender: Female
Birthday: December 17th
House: Hufflepuff
Blood Status: Mixed
Wand: 10” Apple with Phoenix Feather Core
Wand Hand: Left PERSONALITY General: T.J. is a tomboy down to boot. Despite that, she doesn’t favor guys. She’s equally likely to be seen with a pack of guys as with a group of girls. This is simply because T.J. doesn’t distinguish between the genders and since she doesn’t notice, guys treat her like she’s just one of the guys and girls generally think she’s feisty, small, and refreshing. A part of this is because she has no awareness of her own gender as well—though she knows she’s a girl, she doesn’t believe she has to act any differently with guys. She’s been surrounded by her three older brothers while growing up and they’d pick on her just as if she were a guy.
Being raised with a bunch of guys, T.J. is rather loud and abrasive. She’s also very impulsive and doesn’t of the consequences of her actions beforehand. It’s almost hilarious how brave she is, willing to go pick a fight with whoever she pleases, especially when she’s not only eleven years old, but tiny for her age.
Habits: T.J. has a bad habit of sitting with her legs spread out and since her mother didn’t want her flashing her panties to the world, T.J. is either always in pants or has knee length leggings on underneath her skirts (when in uniform). T.J. also tends to sprawl out no matter where she is. She’s the sort of person who has little awareness of her surroundings and what’s considered polite and proper. Another bad habit she has is tending to eat her food too quickly. By the time everyone’s just taking that first bite, T.J. would have already gorged herself on food.
Hobbies: Throw any sort of athletic at T.J. and she’d love it just like all the rest. Not only does she like being physically active, she’s also hopelessly competitive. While she won’t go as far as to have a legitimate grudge against someone, if she does lose a competition, more than likely she’ll be pestering the other person for a rematch. The sport she’s really into right now is Muggle basketball which she plays with her grandfather occasionally. Along with basketball, T.J. is trying to get on the Hufflepuff Quidditch Team when she’s old enough. Her brothers are trying to convince her to be a Seeker because of her small build, but T.J. likes being in more of the action than that so perhaps a Beater or a Chaser.
Likes: As vague as it is, T.J. enjoys doing anything “fun.” She can find amusement in the strangest things but most of the things she considers as fun involves some sort of adrenaline rush or at least an increase in heart beat. T.J. almost has a infinite supply of energy—she rarely ever gets tired when she’s doing something she likes and she’s able to focus solely on whatever it is she’s doing, however, when she isn’t amused, T.J. is rather hard to deal with.
Dislikes: T.J. is rather bad at studying and almost all sort of school work. Her intention span isn’t made out for her. She often struggles with academics and just feels stupid and frustrated when she doesn’t (especially since she’s so competitive and athletics come naturally to her). FAMILY Mother: Maria Sherman – ½ Blood Wizard – House Wife
Maria Sherman was born in American to a wizard and a muggle. Her father, Thomas Sherman, was a muggle who loved her mother regardless of what she was.
Before Maria Sherman met her husband, she was home schooled in America until she was fifteen and was later sent abroad to Hogwarts where she attended as a Hufflepuff. She met her future husband at Hogwarts and by their seventh year, they were in a relationship. A year or two after graduation, the two of them were married and expecting.
Father: Jeremy Townsend – Muggleborn Wizard – Auror
Jeremy Townsend was born in England to two Muggles. While growing up, he felt he could do extraordinary things, things that a normal kid shouldn’t be able to do… and the summer of his eleventh year, Jeremy received the news from one of the Hogwarts Professors that he was a wizard and he was invited to attend Hogwarts. He attended the school as a Gryffindor and later became an Auror after marrying Maria.
Siblings: Jasper Townsend – 24 – Ravenclaw Hogwarts Graduate – Auror
Trevor Townsend – 18 – Gryffindor Hogwarts Graduate – Professional Quidditch Player
Hector Townend – 17 – Gryffindor Hogwarts Graduate – Studying to be an Auror
Extended Family: Thomas Sherman – Grandfather (Mother’s Side) - Muggle
Thomas Sherman has always been a big part of the lives of all the Townsend kids. T.J. was named after him.
Margaret Sherman – Grandmother (Mother’s Side) – Wizard – Deceased
Alexis Sherman – Aunt (Mother’s Side) – Wizard
Isaiah Sherman – Cousin (Mother’s Side)
Seth Sherman – Grandfather (Father’s Side) – Muggle – Accountant
Francis Sherman – Grandmother (Mother’s Side) – Muggle - Nurse
Relationship with Family: T.J. gets along well with her parents. They rarely have anything to bicker about. Her brothers, on the other hand, are an entirely different story. It's hard to stop the kids from bickering and teasing each other relentlessly.HISTORY General History: After Maria and Jeremy were married, their first son Jasper was quickly on the way. Both of the parents’ heads were up in the clouds about having a child and by the time Jasper came around, they were stressed and bewildered. They ran to their mothers, picked up as many baby books as possible, and began frantically reading. The two of them were very much in some sort of illusion that building a family would be easy and manageable, even when Jeremy was training to become an Auror. They were wildly unprepared, but things got better through the help of Jeremy’s mother, who often watched over Jasper.
Things settled a lot as Jasper grew. Jeremy became a fully fledged Auror and the stress on the Townsend household alleviated. When Jasper was around five years old, Maria and Jeremy sat down and decided they wanted more children. Soon, Trevor was on the way and two years later, Hector came into the world. Maria and Jeremy were surprised on how rowdy these boys could be, once again pleasantly naive about how much work it took to raise three boys. They toughed it out, however, and adapted… but just from the pure amount of rambunctiousness, the parents decided to wait to have more children.
Maria always wanted a little girl and Jeremy was more than happy to oblige. Being an only child himself, he decided more the merrier so thirteen years after their first born came into this world, Tommy Jae Townsend entered in screaming.
Growing up, T.J. had to deal with a lot of crap with her brothers. At first it was “Oh look, what an adorable little defenseless baby! We must all protect her!” and then as T.J. became cognitive, began speaking for herself, she became one of the boys. She was free game for torments and pranks—and being the youngest and the most naïve one out of all of them, T.J. was an obvious target. Her parents weren’t the best at fending the boys off either so T.J. had no choice. It was either toughen up or be smothered by the testosterone and muscles.
Despite her tiny stature, T.J. fought back with all her might and quickly settled in as soon as the brothers realized she wouldn’t take any crap from them without a fight. Not to mention, they were growing older. They had less time to torment and taunt their little sister and it turned into most of them just teasing her about being so boyish or being stupid. Just normal sibling things. They actually had a nice relationship going on for a long time.
All of her brothers moved out of the house after they graduated and began to do their own things but as if a saving grace, T.J. was sent her Hogwarts Letter the summer after the youngest brother graduated so she didn’t have time to mope in her brothers’ absences.
MISCELLANEOUS
The Sorting: ”Whoa!” T.J. exclaimed, looking wide eyed around the main entrance. I had heard stories of this place… Floating candles, hanging tapestries… GHOSTS! ”This place is awesome!” She announced to her neighbor with a toothy grin. They never said how big this place was! This dining hall looked like it was fit to serve a king! Her brothers told her stories about food at Hogwarts—oh drool! If for nothing else, T.J. was ecstatic just to taste all the meat!
Bang! T.J. blinked and stumbled backwards. When had the kid in front of her stopped? She ran smack into the square of his back. ”Owww…” she grumbled, though she quickly recovered at the sight of the Sorting Hat. Her brothers spun some outrageous tale about how the Hat actually took a bite out of your head in order to sort the student, but T.J. doubted that was true. At least she hoped not. I like my head… She thought, watching the reaction of the first student as they sat down and the hat was placed on their head. No cringe! That meant no bite! Yes! T.J. wasn’t sure what she was going to do if that was true!
T.J. stood all jittery as she watched first year after first year sit on the stool and have the hat plopped on their head. Where am I going to placed? She didn’t really give much thought to it before now… Two of her brothers and her father were in Gryffindor so T.J. could see that happening but Jasper was in Ravenclaw and no way that was happening! T.J. loathed studying of any sort! And mom was in Hufflepuff… ”Tommy Jae Townsend!”
With a leap, T.J. scampered up and jumped on the stool, her feet no longer touching the ground. ”Hm… Not exactly a thinker, are you?” T.J. grinned sheepishly and rubbed her neck. Well. It got her there! ”And enough brains to be a Slytherin…”
”Hey! You’re pretty rude for a stupid hat!” T.J. muttered, glowering up at the hat.
The hat paused at that comment. Oh, Merlin’s Beard! Is he not going to sort me because I insulted him?! Her brothers would have a field day out of that! But the hat soon called out something that made T.J. sigh with relief.
”Hufflepuff!”
Boggart: A black whirl came flying out of the closet, twisting and contorting until it formed a young girl in a wheelchair. T.J.’s stomach dropped. That’s not... As soon as she thought it, the figure turned and T.J. saw her own face reflected back at her. Except she looked tired. Lack-luster. Immobile. ”R-ridikulus!” T.J. shouted, thrusting her wand at the image of herself. Her body contorted till it turned back into that black whirl, jumping over to another student.
(Explanation: So much of T.J.’s character is based on her ability to be athletic and that’s very much everything she finds enjoyable so as a young girl, to lose that is her greatest fear.)
Mirror of Erised: The mirror shows T.J. with awards, muggle and wizarding alike. Championship of the Quidditch Cup, star of a basketball team, and her family still behind her.

Approved by Charmaine Kitteridge
Charmy's Notes: I'm liking the concept but could you try and give us a bit more on his history? Maybe discuss a situation that really shows his personality or maybe how he relates to his parents' careers. Perhaps give an example of the first bit of magic he did. Remember Harry did a few things without realizing it when he reached the age before he got his letter. Much better! GENERAL Name: Alexander Raphael Thomas
Gender: Male
Birthday: June 6
House: Hufflepuff
Blood Status: Half-Blood
Wand: Rosewood 11 inches
Wand Hand: Right PERSONALITY General: Alexander is a shy kid, but once you get to know him you realize that he's his own person. He keeps mostly to himself, not really having that many friends, but the friends he has, they are the best friends he could ask for. He usually is subtle about things because he's not really sure how to be around others.
Habits: Keeps to self, Gets possesive, Very neat
Hobbies: Cooking, Reading, Drawing
Likes: Food, Books, Card Games, Swimming
Dislikes:Attitude, Rules, Black Licorice FAMILY Mother: Catherine Alice Thomas, a muggleborn whom mostly just tends to the house, is very plain and doesn't make for much excitment.
Father: Theodore Ignatius Thomas, his parents being pureblood, encouraged him to to marry a into a pureblood family. Not really caring about his parents wishes, he married Catherine. He now works for the Daily Prophet as one of the editors.
Siblings:
Extended Family:
Relationship with Family: He gets along well with his mother and father. He gained an interest of reading from his father working at the paper, but gets his sense of adventure from his mother, - none. They act as a normal family, him as the only child. HISTORY General History: Alex had a rather normal life with his mother, Catherine and father, Theodore. His father was not to use much magic save for when he required it and tried to give his son the most normal life he could give him. Alex knew of magic, but it just wasn’t a subject that was brought up a lot. Alex was rather quiet, and making friends came a bit hard to him. The few friends he was able to make were quite by accident, but otherwise he kept to himself. Around his friends he felt he was able to be more open, though he become a lot more possessive and opinionated around them. Despite that, they got along just, even if he still didn’t talk much with them, his shyness taking over.
Alex otherwise was just to himself. He would stay home reading books that his parents got him or explore his creative side by drawing. It was his way to escape into a fantasy world. His mother was home most of the time, and his father usually at work, so he’d figure out ways to make his own fun. He didn’t really have toys or watch the television, so his greatest tool was his imagination.
Since magic wasn’t something that Alex encountered often, the first time he ended up using magic, he wasn’t even aware that it was him. Walking home from school, he heard cries from a boy and ran closer seeing the boy’s head peeking from a burning building. He ran toward the building and when he came near the next thing he noticed was the boy on the ground, safe. Alex didn’t know what happened, but he was quite aware that it was very strange.
From the little Alex’s parents did tell him, Alex was aware that he might have the opportunity to go to a magic school, which interested him, but he didn’t let it consume him too much. Receiving his letter for Hogwarts did come as a bit of a surprise, and he was excited, though he managed to stay calm.
MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting: Alexander, being as shy as he was was in the great hall waiting for his name to be called. He stared up at everyone looking around, a little overwhelmed. If anything, he just wanted to get it over with. He slowly walked up to the hat, just wanting to get over with it as he sat to have the hat placed over his head. His mind was rather busy, looking at everything around the room, and just anticipating getting chosen into a good house. A moment later the hat chimed out "Hufflepuff!"
Boggart: Fire
Mirror of Erised: His vision is of him and his wife and children.

Note: Don't forget her wand ^^
GENERAL
Name: Rochelle Sakura Leilani
Gender: Female
Birthday: October 12
House: Gryffindor
Blood Status: Half-Blood
Wand:
Wand Hand: Right
PERSONALITY
General: Rochelle is basically what everyone would call a sweetheart. She is nice to everyone, even to those that aren't nice to her at times. Always showing a friendly smile and wanting to make new friends. She is really playful and being the youngest child of her family, she is not always concious that her friendliness might not always be well received. In fact she often comes off as too flirty, which if being told that she is, she quickly apologizes and turns very shy. For, in her opinion and how she was raised, a well mannered young lady is never to flirt about openly.
Habits: Her most obvious habit is noticeable when she is deep in thought of any matter. Her hand instinctively goes up to her necklace and her fingers trace the petal pattern of it. When she is nervous though she tends to nibble on her lower lip.
Hobbies: Her favorite thing in the world is planting new seeds for flowers or plants, hoping to make every place as pretty as possible.
Likes: Flowers, Rainbows, Candies, Butterflies
Dislikes: Bees, spiders, Fights, Mean People
FAMILY
Mother: Rosellia Marie Leilani
Father: Devon Vladmir Leilani
Siblings: Meghan Alisse Leilani - Planning on questing her
Extended Family: Her Grandmother, father's mother.
Relationship with Family: She has a very good relationship with her mother and father, they are both very proud of her. Her grandmother loves her dearly and expects great things from her, always maintaining her lady skills. She never talks much about her sister and with just a couple words you can sense they aren't very close but she would like to be.
HISTORY
General History: Rochelle is the youngest daughter of the Leilani's. Born into a stable family, money wise. They were not overly rich but they were not poor either. They could afford everything they wanted and needed but her parents weren't ones to simply throw money away on useless things either. Her older sister, Meghan, was a great joy to her parents when she was born. Her grandmother, her father's mother, being a rich lady decided to turn her into a refined lady and introduce her to society, all this starting when she was 5 years old. But to her dismay that didn't work very good. A couple years later Rochelle was born. Her parents were again very excited and totally happy. Her older sister on the other hand wasn't at all ecstatic. Their grandmother again tried teaching her the lady like manners, and to everyone's relief, Rochelle was a born lady. Her manners were impecable and her taste for details and perfection were the best.
After her teaching was done she went back to live with her parents and one day the letter arrived. She was being invited to Hogwarts! The entire family was over the roof happy and proud of this. Her mother was a Witch, though her fater wasn't. But he was very proud of her. Rochelle had known for some time she had magic in her, but hadn't made a big deal of it since it wasa normal thing in her Grandmother's house. Now her life was about to change, would all her teaching and upbringing help her in this new path her life was taking? That's what we all want to know.
MISCELLANEOUS
The Sorting: Rochelle was very nervous when her name was called out, but being the little lady she was she maintained her composure. As she stepped forth and sat down, the Hat was placed on her head; she caugh her breath in wait for it's decision. She nervously hoped, thought she didn't belong in any other House, with a slight chuckle the Hat announced "Gryffindor!" and as everyone in that house appaluded the sorting hat said in a quieter way "No doubt about that".
Boggart: In the case of Rochelle ever finding a Boggart it certainly would look like a huge hairy tarantula. She has a strong sense of fear towards them. She's mostly fine with small spiders but anyting bigger than a marble or grape would make her very scared. She just can't stand to see them, the hairy legs, so many eyes, creep her out.
Mirror of Erised: If she peered into the Mirror of Erised, she'd see ehrself in the middle of a very big and really beautiful garden. Every and any kind of flowers would be there with their fragrant smells wafting in the breeze. Her family would be there with her, even her sister and they would all be happy.
EXTRA CREDIT

Patronus: Her patronus form is a group of butterflies of all shapes and sizes that flutter all about.
Greatest Treasure: Her greatest treasure is her necklace. It was a gift from her mother many years ago when her rose bush gave its first rose. Her mother had said she was really proud of her and her love of plants and gifted her with the necklace.
Manner of Dress: She always tries to look her best, very tidy and clean. She loves to brush her hair and keep it "in its place" as she says. She also likes to wear the appropriate clothes to every event she attends. Her necklace never comes off from her neck and her matching berrets always adorn her hair.

Note: GENERAL Name: Fiona Mayara Everence
Gender: Female
Birthday: October 31st
House: Ravenclaw
Blood Status: Mixed blood
Wand: Sycamore, 10 inches, core of Veela hair
Wand Hand: Left PERSONALITY General: She is generally outgoing and curious, wanting to know anything she can get her nose into. Her favorite thing to study is the paranormal and the differences between how Muggles and the magical observe and feel about the phenomena. She enjoys long walks in creepy areas, exploring haunted ruins, and scaring her friends. If it isn't obvious, her favorite holiday is Halloween, and her favorite theme is ghosts and ghost-like things.
Habits: Staring off into space, getting lost in her thoughts, doodling, tapping her lip with her writing utensils/fingers.
Hobbies: Studying the paranormal, exploring places she probably shouldn't be in.
Likes: The paranormal, ghosts, legends, sciences.
Dislikes: Anything boring to her, like the average or people who don't have a sense of adventure. FAMILY Mother: Felicity Fairbourne || Described by most everyone she knows as "flighty", Felicity believes in letting your heart guide you. She also doesn't really believe in marriage as a result. She does love Finley with all her heart, and doesn't plan on leaving him, but she feels that marriage would make her feel trapped. She loves that her daughter is a witch and a Ravenclaw like Felicity is and is extremely happy that she found something she loves to study.
Father: Finley Everence || The more stable of the pair, Finley loves Felicity and Fiona very much. He tries as hard as he can to give Fiona stability where her mother only gives space. He wants his daughter to know he's there for her whenever she needs him.
Siblings: None at the moment~
Extended Family: Felicia Fairbourne || Felicity's twin sister, a Slytherin. She gave Fiona her snake bracelet before Fi left for Hogwarts in hopes she would be placed in her House instead of her sister's. She still loves her family, despite their differences.
Relationship with Family: Fiona loves and gets along well with all of her family. HISTORY General History: She was pretty much allowed to do what she wanted as a child, though there was discipline if she did something she shouldn't. She had a few friends around where she lived and she wasn't always the leader, but when she was, her friends followed her into all sorts of places. She always enjoyed exploring hidden areas, old buildings no one lived in anymore, places that were supposed to be haunted. She loved to sneak up on her friends and parents and scare them by jumping out at them. Her mother loved all of this and encouraged her to play. Her father worried much more and wished she would be more careful, and maybe at least tell him where she was planning to play so he would know what she was. MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting: Fiona fiddled with the bracelet her aunt had given her before she'd left for her first year at Hogwarts. It was strange to her how two people who looked exactly alike could be so different, and even be in different houses. But her mother and aunt were. Her mother had been in Ravenclaw, her aunt in Slytherin. The bracelet given to her by her aunt was a silver snake, the hope for her to obviously be placed in Slytherin. Fiona didn't actually know what house she wanted to be placed in. She didn't want to disappoint anyone, she just wanted...well she didn't know what she wanted. Other than to be herself, anyway. She almost missed her name being called as she stared into space, turning her bracelet over her arm. Her name was called a second time and she was snapped out of her thoughts. She practically ran up to the stool and sat upon it, grinning as the Hat was placed on her head. She wondered briefly what a Muggle might think of the talking, moving Hat. "A thinker, eh?" mused the Sorting Hat. "Ravenclaw or Slytherin....Slytherin or Ravenclaw..." She giggled a little as it mused to her. She didn't want to influence its thoughts, so she kept quiet and let it search her. "Very well then...RAVENCLAW!" it shouted and the hat was removed, and she trotted off to her new House.
Boggart: The only thing she is seriously afraid of is something bad happening to her family.
Mirror of Erised: She would see herself as an explorer/researcher.
EXTRA CREDIT
Greatest Treasure: The snake bracelet her aunt Felicia gave her. Even though she's not in Slytherin, it's her favorite treasure.
Manner of Dress: Usually neat.

Accepted By Fig
Note:  GENERAL Name: Alexander “Xander” Scott
Gender: Male
Birthday: Jan. 6th
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Pure Blood
Wand: Cocobolo, Dragon Heartstring, 11 ½
Wand Hand: Right PERSONALITY General:
Like his cousin, Alexander was raised in a pure blood house hold, but unlike Rory, his mother set her foot down firmly on his education in the pure blood versus any other magical blood and made sure he didn't automatically think himself better then someone just because of their parents. Because of that he feels free to be friendly to anyone, no matter their blood status, and will judge them on their personality. Of course somethings influence his bias still, like he honestly believes that Gryffindors and Ravenclaws are crazy for living in towers, but that is just because of his fear of heights.
Generally he is polite when meeting someone for the first time, having the proper manners drilled into him from a young age, and rarely is he rude unless it is warranted. However, after the first meeting and he starts to feel relaxed around someone, his politeness can start to slip and some of his trollish nature slips through. It amuses him when it takes only a little bit to get under people's skin at times, he's amazed how an amused smile in the 'wrong place' can set off some personality types and he just thinks it's all in good fun.
He believes in sticking to what you start with almost no exceptions. If he is given a problem to solve or a project to be completed, he will work almost non stop until they are finished. This also applies to when he sets his sight on a certain grade or position on a team. There have been many times where he worked through the night, trying to complete a project of some type even when it doesn't have to been done right away. Two of the exceptions are if the project has no real meaning whether for school or some other personal reason, or if he gets bored with it; he will easily drop it and rarely does he pick those time of projects back up. Another exception would be if the problem/project would interfere with someone else's health in some way or if it interferes with his goal.
He has a lot of energy and cannot just laze around doing nothing. He gets bored and has to do something whether it is read a book, something hands on, anything so long as he is doing something that occupies his mind and/or body. This regularly causes him to have insomnia. Fortunately, the lack of sleep doesn't slow him down when he wakes up around 7am to 8am ready to find something to do to ease the already creeping feeling of boredom. The only time you see him laying down and seemingly doing nothing is when he is thinking too deeply to do anything else at the same time.
Habits: He pets/strokes his own hair when he is tired, sticks his tongue out when concentrating and bounces or rocks on his heels when excited.
Hobbies:
Plays the violin~ According to him it is an aristocratic instrument but in actuality he just finds it fun and soothing to play. He can play only a few songs but he knows the few songs well enough to play them almost perfectly, or perfectly in the case of his favorite song, Spring by Vivaldi.
Reading~ Something he and his cousin share is the love of reading. He prefers mysteries, fantasy, adventure and sometimes, rarely, romance and only if it is mixed in with something else!
Likes: Tea, books, cute animals, potions
Dislikes: Heights, broccoli, brooms FAMILY Mother: Stephanie Scott [very little magical power but is a pure blood]. She and her family moved to America when she was little so she went to Salem instead of Hogwarts. She is a strong willed woman that thinks that blood status is outdated thanks to being the best friend of a muggle born back in the States.
Father: Edward Scott [Hufflepuff, pure blood]. Second child of Acanthus Scott and brother to Jacob. He was sort of the odd child, having little ambition but plenty of determination. He met Stephanie a year after graduation and after a short time of courting, asked her to marry him.
Siblings: None.
Extended Family:
Acanthus Scott~ [Pure blood, Slytherin] Grandfather and the current head of the Scott family house hold.
Jacob Scott~ [Pure blood, Slytherin] Father of Rory and heir to the Scott family.
Annabeth Scott~ [Pure blood, Gryffindor] Mother of Rory.
Rory Scott~ Xander's favorite, and only until the new baby is born, cousin. They get along well and are close though Rory acts like the older of the two most of the time. More information see here.
Rebecca Scott~ [Pure blood, Slytherin] Xander hasn't stayed around to talk to her very often and doesn't know what to think of her other or the fact that she is carrying his second cousin.
Relationship with Family: Xander is close to both his parents, only favoring one over the other in certain situations. Though at times he is annoyed when they get over protective. His grandfather and uncle he isn't as close to but he hangs around them when he's visiting Rory, while he doesn't spend time with his new Aunt and was never close to his previous one. HISTORY General History:
Born in the London house his parents owned, Xander grew up more of a dual citizen of the UK and Ireland thanks to the fact his parents had a house in each. They would alternate between the houses each season of the year, every spring and autumn they would stay in Ireland at a countryside house, while every summer and winter they would stay in the London house. When he was two the little blond had gotten out of his room with some accidental magic and found his way to one of the second story balconies to play. Unfortunately while he was running around on it playing with a tiny four inch toy broom magicked to fly around him, he fell off the side after trying to catch the toy. His own magic saved him and his parents were sure to ward every balcony ever since but thanks to the fall he has a terrible fear of heights that he can't over come. After he hit five his parents started to notice that he had problems breathing some times and took him to see a mediwizard by the name of Dr. J. Philip and found out about his allergies to pollen and dust. Of course preventative actions were taken to help limit the reactions. By the time he was six he started to stay over at his cousin Rory's house for a few nights at a time where they got into mischief.
When he was seven years old there was an incident in the spring with him slipping out of the Ireland house and finding his way into a small forest with the family dog, Ace, following him. They explored the woods for two hours before Xander realized that he was lost and, rather then get Ace to sniff their way home, he decided to find their way back on his own. By the third hour he was riding Ace like a horse in the middle of a clearing perfectly happy to lay instead of finding a way out and that was where his father found him after he had gone looking for him on a broom two hours previous. Needless to say he was grounded for a long time for the scare. The rest of the years passed by with only little events here and there but in the summer before Rory was to go to Hogwarts the pollen count was particularly high. He was already having some problems when he went over to Rory's house for a two week sleep over. One of the days he had gone into the living room to find a book he had left there only to walk in just in time for Jacob to use the floo powder, some which didn't make it into the fire and instead into the air which in turn combined with the problems he was having already, set Xander off into an asthma attack. He was rushed to the hospital where he spent over night recovering. After that he was taken back home by his worried parents and he hasn't been back to Rory's house since.
MISCELLANEOUS
The Sorting:
Xander waited patiently, or relatively patient considering he was slightly rocking on his heels. For every letter for the last names that passed by his grin got slightly wider and his rocking turned into a slight bounce instead. Finally he was called though and he barely refrained from bouncing up there, instead he moved at a normal pace with his hands clasped behind his back. He sat down and the hat was put on his head before there was a shout of, “SLYTHERIN!”
Boggart:
A flying ledge. His greatest fear has been of heights ever since he was a toddler and fell off one of the second story balconies.
Mirror of Erised:
Should he look into the mirror he would see his self surrounded by his family while himself being a famous mediwizard. Ever since he was little he has had an admiration for medical wizards and witches, eventually deciding he wanted to be one when he was older.
EXTRA CREDIT
Patronus: A dog. His mom once compared his father jokingly since he was so loyal and it just sort of stuck.
Greatest Treasure: An old book on Transfiguration given to him by his mother said to have been passed down through the family's generations.
Manner of Dress: When it's just him and his family he dresses casually but when other people might be around he tends to dress semi-casually.
Favorite Class: Transfiguration (though he tells Rory it's Divination to be a troll)
Worst Class: Flying. He honestly can not go higher then 15 to 20 feet as he turns into a sobbing mess.

Notes: I'd like to see a bit more on why the hat sorted her to Slytherin and why not to Hufflepuff. You talked a bit on why it rejected Gryffindor and Ravenclaw but I don't see why it picked Slytherin over Hufflepuff. Other than that Congrats!! , BTW She needs to meet Slytherin Vonali Darix wink  GENERALName: Evangline CancioBello
Gender: Female
Birthday: December 26th
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Mixed blood
Wand: Mahogany, Phoenix Feather Core, 10 1/2 inches
Wand Hand: AmbidextrousPERSONALITYGeneral: The best word that would be used to describe Eva when someone new just meets her would have to be shy. When first meeting people she doesn't speak all that often, some people even believe her to be mute, and when she does speak it isn't all that loud. This trait has made her a good listener and observer. However this is only when she first meets someone or is uncomfortable. Once she knows you, or feels comfortable around said person, things change dramatically. As a friend Eva is full of energy, the first to think of a crazy plan to fix their boredom or think of a story to have everyone laughing. She is a loyal friend to those that have the privilege of her calling them her friend. If she is comfortable she can sometimes be more outgoing around people she doesn't know, but that all depends on what vibe she gets off people. If she feels like they are good she will be more willing to be nice and friendly, but if she feels they are bad she will be more shut off.
By nature she is curious. Eva was always the child that hid in the closet so that she could listen to all the adults conversations. Some people would call that nosey, but to her it is just called curiosity. She likes to know how things, and people, work. One thing that she hates is when people keep secrets from me. She's good at finding things out to, when she wants to find something out she will stop at nothing to find it out. That's where her small skills with being manipulative come in. No one ever suspects and most people are willing to give her the information she is looking for, or at least some of it. This goes with knowledge as well as finding out about people.
Habits: Eva taps her fingers on just about anything, as well as playing with her hair and biting the tops of writing utensils when nervous.
Hobbies: Eva likes to write fictional stories, she hopes to one day publish some of them. She also loves to sing and actually has a pretty nice voice. She can always be found with a notebook on her.

Relationship with Family: Eva was a huge daddies girl growing up, and although she was close with her mother and younger sister it was clear to everyone that her father was her favorite. After his death she has grown even closer to her younger sister and mother, trying to be the rock holding their family together. She has also grown closer to her cousin Anthony and his family since he knows what it is like to lose a father.HISTORYGeneral History: Eva lived a pretty good life. Her parents had met in Hogwarts and although her father pursued her mother while in school it wasn't until a few years after they graduated that she finally agreed to go on a date with him. It wasn't too long until they were living together and talking about starting a family. They had Eva and two years later got married, Ellen coming soon after. Their life seemed perfect, Deatrah was a stay at home mother while her father worked long hours with magical creatures. On the weekends and whenever he could he spent time with his family, taking them on trips and teaching the girls all about the creatures he worked with.
At eight years old her favorite uncle passed away right before her eyes, even the magical community couldn't save him. It was a horrible experience, but nothing like what she would later see. It wasn't a full year after when her own father passed away, devastating her whole family. It took a while but they grew closer and pulled through together. The two deaths in her family brought them closer then ever, especially Eva with her cousin Anthony's wife and two daughters.MISCELLANEOUSThe Sorting: Coming into Hogwarts Eva wasn't sure what house she would go to. Although she wanted to be sorted into Gryffindor like her father and favorite cousin, she didn't think that the house fitted her. Waiting to be called she looked at all the new faces, wondering which would be her housemates. As soon her name was called she walked gracefully to where the sorting hat was, head held high. When placed on her head it began to speak at once. "My condolences dear, but you are right you do not belong in your fathers house... Hum... Yes I see the characteristics of a Ravenclaw maybe?" Eva smiled, her cousin-in-law was a Ravenclaw and spoke very highly of the house. "No, although you would do well enough there it is not the home for you... And dear we don't even need to consider Hufflepuff for you, your not afraid to get your hands dirty in ways Helga would not approve of. It is now clear..." and with that it shouted Slytherin. Eva walked to the table and took her spot, learning all the faces around her. She couldn't wait to write and tell her mother.
Boggart: Eva's boggart is her little sister's body on the floor, her bleeding to death and asking Eva why she didn't save it. When casting the charm to change her boggart it changes to Ellen perfectly healthy and making a crown of daises.
Mirror of Erised: If Eva were to look in the Mirror of Erised she would see her father standing behind her with his hand on her shoulder. He would be telling her how proud of her he was. All she wants is to make him proud in whatever she does.EXTRA CREDITPatronus: A male lion is Eva's Patronus. This is an unlikely patronus for a Slytherin but it is one she would be proud of. Her father's name was Leonardo and he always told her that he would protect her, so to Eva her patronus is her fathers way of always being there to protect her.
Greatest Treasure: Eva has a ring that her father made her before passing. He made it years before but was given to her mother the day she left for Hogwarts, as he intended it to be given. It is a plain silver band but on the inside it says "Long live Princess Evangline", something he use to tell her often since she called him King Leonardo.
Manner of Dress: Eva was raised to dress nice, so she does so. She is up to date on what is in and what is out and never dressed out of season. She hates wrinkles and won't be caught dead in messy clothing.
Favorite Class: Transfiguration and Care of Magical Creatures are things that Eva is very interested in and good at. She has been reading about magical creatures her whole life and has a bit of an obsession with them. She also seems to have natural talent in transfiguration.
Worst Class: Muggle Studies and Herbology are two classes that seem to bore her. She is absolutely horrible at Herbology and has to be tutored to even pass.

Approved by CharmaineGENERAL Name: Bonnie Ambrose
Gender: Female
Birthday: April 24th
House: Ravenclaw
Blood Status: Mixed Blood
Wand: Dragon Heart String, 12 inch, ash.
Wand Hand: Left. PERSONALITY General: Bonnie is logical and organized, before she does anything she makes sure she has the right tools and is about to use them in the right order. She struggles to understand anything illogical or without meaning. She doesn't like conflict and will only use magic for practical purposes. Can be quite shy around people she doesn't know.
Habits: Chewing on her bottom lip and over-thinking things when tired or stressed.
Hobbies: Baking fairy cakes, word puzzles and during the colder months she likes to knit.
Likes: Cake. Puzzles, riddles and the like. Age old stories and tales.
Dislikes: Conflict, loud noises and being disturbed while she's working. FAMILY Mother: Arabella Diederich, Pureblooded German witch from a wealthy family, attended Beauxbatons and now lives in France.
Father: Sebastian Rupert Ambrose, mixed-blood and a former Ravenclaw Prefect from back in the day. Now has a boring desk job within the ministry.
Siblings: None as of yet.
Extended Family: Alison Bell ('grandmother') - A little old woman that lived next door, she took care of Bonnie when she was younger while her father was at work. A Pureblood witch, former Gryffindor and queen of the fairy cakes. Bonnie considers her her grandmother and Alison finally had the granddaughter she'd always wanted.
Relationship with Family: Bonnie loves her father dearly and absolutely adores her 'grandmother'. She gets on well with the rest of the Ambrose family (that she's met so far) too.
Since the split, however, she has had no contact with her mother or her side of the family. Probably for the best. HISTORY General History: Sebastian met Arabella while in France working on a case for his old department in the ministry. They lived next door to one another for several months while he worked the case and during that time the two became inseparable. Dates, cuddles and holding hands like the two love birds they were.
However, Sebastian had soon finished the case and was called back to London to present it to the head of the department. Arabella did not want to leave France and remained behind as her love returned to his home country. The only contact they had for the next few weeks was via owl and the two pined for one another.
On a warm September evening, Sebastian returned home from work to find a letter waiting for him on the kitchen table. It was not what he'd been expecting at all. During their whirlwind romance in France, Arabella had fallen pregnant with his child. After much discussion, it was finally agreed that she would come and stay with him in England so they could live properly as a couple.
Things went went until the birth of their child. Arabella had wanted a little boy and though she did initially try and make an effort with her daughter, it just wasn't meant to be. Bonnie May Liesel Ambrose (May was his mothers name, Liesel was Arabella's mother) was the name given to her by her father.
Sebastian doted on his daughter, he spent all the time he could with her and was always buying her new clothes and toys. Though Bonnie tried many times to get her mothers attention, it was in vain, Arabella just wasn't interested in her little girl. The rest of the Diederich family didn't want to know their newest addition either, they'd wanted a male to carry the family name and were severely disappointed at the arrival of a little girl.
Two years after Bonnie's birth and their first argument, Arabella left England and returned to France to continue her life as if nothing had happened. Sebastian struggled to juggle work and take care of his young daughter, had Alison not stepped in to help, he didn't know how he would have coped. Since Sebastian had first shown her Bonnie at only a few days old, she'd offered to babysit whenever the two needed time alone. However, Arabella had taken advantage of this and was leaving her daughter with the old witch on a daily basis while she went out.
The years passed and with love and attention from both father and 'grandmother', Bonnie grew into a clever little lady with a flair for baking. Sebastian liked to give his daughter riddles and puzzles to keep her brain sharp and Alison enjoyed teaching her 'granddaughter' how to cook. After much preparation and revision, Bonnie received high grades in her muggle school and was over the moon the day her acceptance letter for Hogwarts arrived! MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting: "Ambrose, Bonnie." To say she was a little nervous was a bit of an understatement. As soon as she took a small step forward, she could feel hundreds of pairs of eyes fall upon her and it was quite intimidating. But she could do this, she knew it! Taking a deep breath, she took her place upon the stool and the hat was placed upon her head. She didn't care which house she was placed into, she was here to learn and not to become a part of a house's bad reputation. The Sorting Hat took a moment, trying to decide between two possible houses and in the end, decided on "Ravenclaw!". Oh! That was her fathers house too! An ever so pleased smile spread across her lips as she all but skipped towards the table cheering for her.
Boggart: Bonnie would see herself stood alone in the darkness. When the Riddikulus charm is used, her father and grandmother would appear and the darkness surrounding her would disappear.
Mirror of Erised: Bonnie would see herself in a meaningful job, with her father and grandmother standing either side with proud expressions.
EXTRA CREDIT
Patronus: Stoat - This is her fathers registered Animagus form, when she was younger he would transform into a stoat and they'd spend hours chasing one another around the house.
Greatest Treasure: A teddy bear that's seen better days. It used to belong to her father and is missing it's left eye, all of it's nose and it's right leg is hanging on by a thread. She keeps it in her bedside table and whenever she's missing home, she'll get it out and cuddle up with it.
Manner of Dress: For casual, every day wear she likes to dress in muggle clothes. Blouses and t-shirts with decorative patterns, tight jeans or leggings, old fashioned boots and if it's cold out, she'll throw on her favourite old coat she found in a second hand shop.
If it's a formal occasion she has a section of her wardrobe filled with ball gowns that look as though they are each from a different time period.
Bonnie does not like wearing brightly coloured clothing. Blacks and dark shades of red and blue are her favourite.
Favorite Class: Transfiguration - it's challenging and always fun.
Worst Class: Divination - she would much rather read a book than the swill at the bottom of her mug.
