Accepted by Cynnybun!While I'm accepting this (because she seems like a wonderful girl and a great addition to the school), I have just a few pointers for her personality.
You have a lot of traits here, and while that is GREAT and to be applauded, you should maybe combine some of them. They seem a bit similar, but if they're meant to be different, you should maybe illustrate these differences.
Also, her empathy doesn't seem to fit. If she's so headstrong and outspoken and proud, what would make her not feel wronged and insulted if someone insults her or something else? If you've meant for this to be contrasting to her, how does she feel about it? Does she hide it?
Otherwise, Svetlana is a great character, good job! GENERALName: Svetlana Violet Ambrose
Gender: Female
Birthday: May 7th
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Mixed Blood
Wand: 12” Pine with Unicorn hair, Slightly Springy
Wand Hand: Right PERSONALITYGeneral:
Svetlana is a very creative person. She enjoys finding new ways to do things, be it different ways to grow plants, different ways to mix potion ingredients or even different ways to memorise dates and facts for History of Magic class (Shudder). Svetlana isn’t very artistic; she can’t draw or paint, and she doesn’t do very well when asked to write fictional stories, but when asked to find a new way to do something she does very well indeed.
Svetlana likes to rely on herself, and herself only. She likes having friends, yes, and she enjoys the company of others, but would much rather work on things by herself than with others. Sometimes she needs time alone to ‘recharge her batteries’, and she does not like asking others for help, or even giving that help to others. When she works in a team she often gets frustrated, but by herself she does rather well.
Svetlana knows what she wants, and she knows how to get it. She is full of determination, and when she sets her mind to something, by god she’s gonna get it. On the other hand, if she doesn’t care about something it is likely to fall by the wayside. Sometimes she gets so wrapped up in things, she forgets about other people.
Svetlana knows who she is, and who she is, is fabulous. Svetlana isn’t ashamed of who she is or what she looks like (Although she could be a bit taller), and she isn’t afraid to be herself. She isn’t afraid to tell other people off either if they vex her. She isn’t shy, and is rarely too afraid to talk to someone. On the other hand, she doesn’t like to ask others for help. She is confident that she can fix the problem on her own; besides. She doesn’t want to seem weak. Svetlana thinks she is the best. Really, she is mankind’s gift to herbology; she is the best with plants. And if she isn’t good at other things, well. It’s just that she didn’t care enough about them. Really, if she put her mind to it, she would bow everyone away. Yes, she meant to fall over. What do you mean, arrogant? Well, you’re just jealous. Can’t you see how perfect she is?
To Svetlana, everything is about her. She doesn’t like to share things, and just about everything in some way is about her. She tends to dominate conversations, and gets very upset if she is ignored by those around her for a long period of time. She does not like to share possessions, (Having a much older brother she has never had to share at home) and does not like to let anyone borrow anything, be it a spare quill, or a piece of parchment. If they needed more parchment, well, they should have brought it themselves!
Svetlana is proud of her heritage, and who she is. She is a Lefebvre, a member of a prestigious family (In blood, if not in name), and she acts that way. She knows that she has talents, and she is happy to show them off to others. She is not shy about her achievements, if asked she will go on and on about what she has done, and what she dreams to do.
Svetlana is not quiet, and would never, ever be seen as such. She likes to talk, silence is not golden, nor will it ever be. The quiet bothers her. If a topic of conversation is needed, Svetlana is ready to talk about herself at a moment’s notice, but she is happy to talk about almost anything. Svetlana is also not shy about speaking out when she thinks things are wrong, or others have angered her. She has no qualms about screeching at the top of her lungs to the offending person, be they student, teacher, or hippogriff.
It is rather easy to get Svetlana riled up. Say the wrong thing and she is liable to fume, and start an argument. With a hot temper that burns at a high heat, she exhausts herself very quickly. Fuel for a fire that large burns very fast, so when she is all shouted out Svetlana is happy to go back to being friends again. This may not work for the other person, but Svetlana does not like to hold grudges. She likes to get things sorted out right away, and then forget about the whole incident once and for all.
Habits: Svetlana has a habit of smoothing down her clothing, and brushing away specs of dirt (Imagined or not). She sticks her tongue out when she is concentrating particularly hard, and when gardening she has a habit of accidently wiping her dirt stained fingers on her clothes, or her nose, or her forehead.
Hobbies: Svetlana likes to be out of doors, and loves to potter around with plants. She likes to go on walks in the bush, around the grounds, and around the greenhouses. She would love to go into the forbidden forest, but as it is out of bounds (And she is only a first year) she wouldn’t dare.
Likes: Svetlana likes being outdoors, and doing practical things. She likes being hands on, doing things now rather than later. She likes plants and pretty things, like flowers, butterflies and unicorns. She likes sunny days and holidays most of all.
Dislikes:Svetlana dislikes doing nothing. Sitting and reading sends her round the bend, so she dislikes rainy days and homework. She doesn’t like being timid, and does not have a lot of patience for timid people who don’t make decisions quickly. She doesn’t like being indoors for long amounts of time, and hates being cooped up on gloriously sunny days.FAMILYMother: Amée-Louise Lefebvre-Ambrose, 43 [Pureblood][Beauxbatons]
Father: Martin Ambrose, 54 [Muggle Born][Former Hufflepuff]
Siblings: Bastien Robert Ambrose, 20 [Older Brother][Mixed Blood][Former Slytherin]

Paternal Side
Jason Ambrose, 73 [Grandfather][Muggle]
Katherine Ambrose 70 [Grandmother][Muggle]
Relationship with Family: Svetlana doesn’t really have much to do with the maternal side of her family, due to them living in France, and the relationship of her mother with her siblings and parents. She has a lot to do with her Grandparents on her father’s side, they love both her and her older brother quite a bit. Svetlana has a reasonably good relationship with both her parents, but she has a rather strained relationship with her mother. She gets along with her older brother, but they never had much in common. Despite her mother having quite a lot to do with her older sister Albertine, Svetlana herself has never met her. Svetlana has no idea whether or not she has any cousins, but if she does they most likely attend Beauxbatons.HISTORYGeneral History: The Lefebvre family are a minorly powerful French pureblood family, with high ideals and a very bad opinion of those who have mixed blood, or worse, those who were born as muggles. With fingers in many pies, the Lefebvre family were well known for producing potion ingredients of the highest quality for a small selection of shops. Even now in France the Lefebvre name is synonymous with the best and most expensive wares. Svetlana’s grandmother, however, did not want her children to grow up in a high pressure, stressful environment. Having married into the Lefebvre family, Chloé had very different ideals to Bastien’s parents. Not caring about the family business, she and Bastien were more focused on raising a loving family. They had three children, twins Gaspard and Albertine, and Ameé. Amée, had very different ideals to her parents. Frustrated by what Bastien and Chloé had let the family name, and the family business, become. She became obsessed with the management of it, taking over the company at the tender age of 23 and working steadily ever since.
On a business trip to England she met Martin, a charismatic, handsome muggle born from York that captured her interest, and her heart. After that, she moved to York, England to be with her love, and hasn’t had much to do with her family again. She heard that her sister Albertine married a muggle, and that her brother Gaspard married a respectable mixed blood woman.
Amée and Martin had a son, which Amée named after her father, and many years later a daughter, which Martin (Ever-enamoured by ‘exotic’ names from different countries) named Svetlana.
Svetlana was born when her brother was 8, so she was never very close with him. Stronger, faster, smarter, he was forever the apple of her mother’s eye. Bastien was a son after her mother’s heart; driven, studious, clean. Svetlana was dirty and small, too young to be left to her own devices, or be sent off somewhere to be taught.
Where Bastien loved to be indoors with books, Svetlana loved to be outdoors, in the midst of things. Bastien’s first sign of magic was levitating a ratty, favourite toy that his parents had taken away from him. Svetlana’s was setting fire to a bookcase.
Svetlana often had arguments with her mother. Her mother just didn’t understand; just because Svetlana wasn’t good with books didn’t mean that she wasn’t driven. Just because she didn’t spend most of her time doing schoolwork, or researching useless things didn’t mean that she didn’t have dreams.
Just because she had friends, sometimes went out, left her room messy, came in with dirt all over her knees didn’t mean that she was a bad daughter.
Just because she liked to dye her hair violet didn’t mean that she was going to become a hooligan.
Just because she didn’t have many friends didn’t mean that she was going to become a social outcast.
Only her father seemed to understand, and the pair spent many days together outside whilst her mother was away at work.
It was the best day of her life when she was given her acceptance letter to Hogwarts, eager to follow her brother into a school that she had only heard about in her brother’s exaggerated stories, and her father’s dreamy, rose-tinted memories. Amée was sceptical about the school, and in the past had worried about the education of her son, and her daughter (Being from a long tradition of Beauxbaton graduates), but as Beauxbatons was so far away (And not likely at all to accept students living in the UK) she relented, and (grudgingly) allowed her children to go to Hogwarts. MISCELLANEOUS
The Sorting: Svetlana stood with the gaggle of first years, waiting for her name to be called. She was nervous, a feeling that seemed to be an infectious one as all the first years around her were shuffling, whispering and darting frightened and furtive glances towards the other students, the sorting hat and the high table, where the teachers sat with blank, unknowable expressions. The hall they stood in was amazing, floating candles and a ceiling that looked like the night’s sky, complete with floating clouds and shooting stars.
Distracted by the sights around her, Svetlana had not noticed that the sorting had already begun. It was a shock to her when her name was called, “Svetlana Ambrose!”
She didn’t have much time to panic as she stepped towards the sorting hat, a battered looking thing with wrinkles that looked almost like a face.
The hat was much too big for her; it sunk right over her eyes when it was placed on her head. Svetlana was plunged into darkness.
She wondered what she was supposed to do. Where did she belong? Bastien had been a Slytherin, but Daddy had been a Hufflepuff. Part of her did not really want to be a Hufflepuff, it seemed like the spare house, where all the students that weren’t brave, or clever, or driven went. She wanted to be somewhere that she would find people like her, a house that would appreciate her talents. “You have ambition.” A voice muttered in her ear. Svetlana jumped. That was the hat! Bastien hadn’t been kidding; a talking hat.
A light chuckle.
“I know where you belong...”
And then Svetlana was nearly deafened. “SLYTHERIN!”
Boggart: Svetlana stepped nervously up to the cupboard door, her hands shaking and her palms sweating. She knew what was in that cupboard, she knew what she had to face. She had been racking her brains; how could she make her fear seem funny? What could she do? It was so hard. The cupboard door swung open, creaking ominously on ancient hinges. All of a sudden, she knew what she had to do.
A figure stepped out, black high heels clacking loudly on the wooden floor. A light brown leg followed, shapely and stockinged, and a fashionably robed, curvy female figure.
It was her mother.
With a thunderous face Amée Levebvre-Ambrose stormed towards her daughter. She drew a heavy breath. “SVETLANA VIOLET AMBROSE!”
“R-Riddikulus!”
Crack!
Svetlana’s mother stumbled, her face strapped tight in a grotesque, brightly coloured clown mask.
“Ha ha ha!”
The boggart disappeared in a wisp of smoke.
Mirror of Erised: Svetlana had heard of a mirror, a magical think hidden inside Hogwarts that showed anyone what they wanted the most. She knew that she could only go and see it at night. She didn’t want anyone to know that she wanted to see it, to think that she was weak.
She stood in front of the mirror, an ancient, dusty mirror with gilt edges carved in ornate swirls. The figure in the mirror was herself, but vastly different. The figure in the mirror was a tall, shapely woman with earlobe-length violet hair. Her eyes were filled with wisdom and superiority, and she was holding a beautiful, flowering plant potted in a light purple pot. The plant had a big, purple flower and was waving its leafy green fronds at her in an affectionate sort of way. The plant had a blue ribbon plastered to the pot, it had won an award. It said, ‘most useful, and the most beautiful plant ever discovered’. Behind the Svetlana in the mirror were hundreds of people, all cheering for her. The Svetlana in the mirror beamed, and Svetlana beamed back. How amazing.
EXTRA CREDIT
Patronus: A She-Bear.
Svetlana would say that she hates her mother, a forceful woman with a strong drive, both for her children and her own career. Always on the move, always pressuring her children to make something great of themselves in the world. Because of this, Svetlana would say that she loves her father, a mild mannered easy going man who is very good at listening, more than her mother. But when times are tough and everything seems wrong, Svetlana’s mother is always there for her daughter. Some would say the pair are remarkably similar. If Amée was an animagus, she would most likely transform into a bear.
Greatest Treasure: A small cactus that was given to her by her Dad on her 10th birthday. It may not need much caring, but it was the first plant that was entirely hers, and that wasn’t a part of her house’s garden.
Manner of Dress: Classy and conservative, Svetlana likes to tell the world that she is someone to be reckoned with. She is also careful to show her feminine side; Svetlana wants to be seen as a powerful witch, not just powerful. But she has to dress for the outside. She needs to be able to get down and dirty in the garden at all times.
Favourite Class: Herbology. With her affinity for plants, Svetlana finds this class the easiest, and then most fun. Svetlana learns best when she is able to physically do something, rather than learning the theory. Days in the greenhouse under the sun are her most favourite.
Worst Class: History of Magic. Who cares about some crusty old wizards? This class is Boring with a capital B. Ugh. All books and no action.

Notes: Please change your wand to one of the three main cores because those wands create superior magic.  GENERALName: Arliss Burego
Gender: Female
Birthday: February 23rd
House: Ravenclaw
Blood Status: Mixed blood
Wand: 16", Cherry Plum, with a Dragon Heart String Core
Wand Hand: LeftPERSONALITYGeneral: Arliss has changed drastically since coming to Hogwarts. When she started school she was very quiet and tried not to step on anyone's toes. She did as she was told and never spoke out of turn. She felt like an outsider. After making a few friends things changed for her. Like back at home she began to speak her mind, having no problem telling people what she thinks of them as well as what is wrong and right. As the years passed she was always extremely nice to the first years, taking some of them under her wing. She is a kind person, however not someone you want to cross as she is known to have a nasty temper when you do. She loves games that require thought and figuring out riddles are are a talent of hers. She likes to take people under her wing, and can be motherly since she knows what it is like to not have anyone. She doesn't like being told what to do, and makes a good leader for the most part. Arliss can be stubborn in the fact that she listens to what she wants and "forgets" what she doesn't want to remember. This has gotten her in trouble many times.
Habits: When she has an extreme emotion she sometimes starts talking Portuguese.
Hobbies: Dancing. Arliss was taught to dance from a young age and can dance many different professional styles.

Francisco Barros - Mother's Brother-In-Law - Mixed blood - 45 - Ravenclaw
Marcelo Barros - Cousin - Mixed blood - 16 - Brazilian Wizarding school
Relationship with Family:
Being an only child has it's benefits and it's downsides. One good thing that came from it was that she has a really good relationship with both her parents. Arliss is both a daddies girl and a mommas girl. Her parents worked a lot, but they always made sure that if one of them was away from home then the other would be there to take care of her. She spent a lot of time in Brazil with her grandparents and older family members, but it was her older cousin Marcelo who she loved to be around. They would play together all the time, and it was his father that told her parents about how good Hogwarts from his years in school there. Although she loved her home country and wished that she was in school with Marcelo she wasn't mad when her parents job lead her to the UK at the same time she would be going to school. She had the option to go wherever she wanted, but she rather start her own adventure then follow in her families foot steps.
HISTORY
General History: Arliss's whole family was born and raised in Brazil, her parents even going to wizarding school there. That was where they met, and from what her parents have told her they were inseparable since their first year. First as friends and then later as boyfriend and girlfriend, they got married while still in school and while some thought it was unwise they were happy and they knew it would last. They some time before trying to have a child, focusing on their careers as well as traveling the world together. When they finally had Arliss they were overjoyed, especially since her mother's sister had just had a son the year before. She was spoiled rotten, and although her parents worked a lot she spent time with her cousins family and father's parents. If anyone asked Arliss she would tell them she had a perfect life.
Right before her eleventh birthday Arliss's father was given an opportunity for a better paying job in the UK as well as her mother a job over there. They both wanted to go, having being to the UK many times and liking it over there. They took the job and gave Arliss the choice to come with them or stay with her grandparents and go to the same school they did. After some thought she decided that she had spent enough time learning in Brazil and was happy to start at Hogwarts.
Her first year was hard because of her accent, but by the middle of the year she had perfected the English language it was easier to understand her. She was happy to be placed in Ravenclaw like her uncle and fits into her house well. Nothing too exciting has happened during her first three years.MISCELLANEOUSThe Sorting: Looking around Hogwarts Arliss was scared. There were so many faces, none of which she knew. When her name was called she walked up the the sorting hat. "Please Mr. Hat, put me somewhere that I can excel in my studies as well as make new friends." she whispered in Portuguese. The hate replied in her native tongue. "My my, you are far from home aren't you? Well you are very knowlegable, and while just the fact that you came all the way here points that you have the bravery of a Gryffindor I think you are more suited for Ravenclaw. Good luck." he said before screaming out Ravenclaw for all to hear. Stunned that the hat knew Portuguese Arliss kept stealing glances at it all night from her new table.
Boggart: Her boggart is one she is very embarrassed by. It is her parents holding up a baby in their arms as they introduce her to her new sibling. She is an only child and to have a sibling would crush her. After casting the spell the boggart changes to her parents telling her how much they love her and how she is the only child they need.
Mirror of Erised: Arliss as the head of the Ravenclaw house as well as Arithmancy teacher.
EXTRA CREDIT
Patronus: The Eurasian Eagle Owl was the animal that sprung to life when she finally was able to cast the spell that created a patronus. It is one of the mightiest of the air creatures and after seeing one at the zoo she became fascinated with the animal. To her they symbolize wisdom as well as great strength.
Greatest Treasure: Arliss has a notebook that she sends back and forth to Marcelo, the two of them taking turns writing about their lives in it. It is her most prized possession and she wouldn't know what to do if it was taken from her.
Manner of Dress: Arliss doesn't care much for what she wears, as long as it is comfortable and presentable. She prefers clothing she can easily move around.
Favorite Class: Arithmancy, it is a challenge for her and she was overjoyed when she was able to take it.
Worst Class: History of Magic, she has been learning this since childhood so to her it's just repeating things she already knows. Not very exciting.

Wand Hand: Ambidextrous PERSONALITYGeneral:
Hot Headed: Quick to a fiery temper specially when dealing with other boys

Siblings: Little brother ((gonna quest for him later))
Extended Family: N/A
Relationship with Family: He loves his father and picks on his younger brother but they don't have contact with the rest of the Paynes of his mother's side of the family. They just don't seem to care about it.HISTORYGeneral History:
Warren picked up his love of technology through his father. Who choose working the muggle job of computers so he could stay home with his two kids. The three of them seemed to be all each other needed. Warren never seemed to get along with other boys much less his brother. He always seemed to pick on him, though if someone dared to mess with his brother he was on top of it to protect him. Mostly Warren spent time inside with his computers and his geckos. He loved to take care of them and just hold them. The were his hobby as well as his pets. When not learning more tricks on the computer or taking care of the geckos, he would often just go talk to the girls on the street. He liked their more calm nature in comparison to the boys.
One of Warrens goals at Hogwarts is to some how hack their spells as he would say it to get a working computer in the school. He is still unsuccessful in this endeavor but that hasn't stopped him from trying. In the mean time he studies from text books and letters from his father often staying up late at night to study both. His other goal is to be the greatest quidditch player to ever walk through gryffindor which was no short order. But even if it failed it seemed to work when it came to the ladies so he say it as a win win.
Over the years he has come to dislike other boys very much. He can really only deal with his team mates that are male otherwise he avoids other boys seeing them as an utter wasted of time and breath.
MISCELLANEOUS
The Sorting:
Warren smiled brightly looking about the school he knew he was going to enjoy himself here. Of course he hadn't yet figured out his laptop wasn't going to work here. When his name was called he puffed out his chest and strode to sit on the stool. The hat was placed on his head and seemed to be mulling something over. "You have traits that make you stand out for both Gryffindor and Slytherin." The hat mumbled. "Oh god not Slytherin...the are soo....sooo dark and I don't know half of them give me the creeps." Warren replied and the hat seemed to laugh before shouting "Gryffindor!" Warren smirked before bouncing off to sit at his table. "Yes a fitting house for me for sure."

Notes: It is a bit weird that Chloe would be unsure as to why she was sorted into Slytherin because she ultimately has the option to choose where she is placed (since the hat takes that into account). Not only this, but she doesn't have a lot of attributes that Slytherin would want. Slytherins are known to be ambitious.  GENERALName: Chloe McKinnon
Gender: Female
Birthday: October 31st
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Mixed Blood
Wand: Aspen wood, with Dragon Heartstring, 9 inches
Wand Hand: Right handedPERSONALITYGeneral: Chloe is still not sure why she was sorted into Slytherin. Chloe is very nice to just about everyone, the way she sees it she never knows who she will need a favor from in the future so it is best to make it so everyone will be willing to give you one. Although not very book smart she does have a lot of common sense and good at figuring out what people's real intentions are. She is a loyal friend, but also a loyal enemy. You make an enemy of her and it's unlikely that it will ever change. She is a romantic and loves to read love stories, she often fantasies about falling in love, though this is something she doesn't like people to know about her since she thinks it is silly. Chloe likes to shock people and sometimes will do random or crazy things just to see what peoples reactions are. She's known to make faces at people when no one else is looking and then when the person tells others she pretends like they are crazy and she didn't do anything.
Habits: Chloe twirls her hair whenever nervous or thinking, she also bites her bottom lip when in deep thought. She doesn't realize that she does either.
Hobbies: Chloe loves to draw and can be found with a sketchbook in hand or in her bag most of the time.

Relationship with Family:
Chloe is very close with her family, even if she has a lot of aunts and uncles. Her mother was the one that named her and she has been a momma's girl from the start, she is also closer to her mother's family rather then her fathers. Her mother's sister Keeva is more like an older sister to her then an aunt since they grew up together and her aunt is only eight years older then her. She played with her two half cousins that are squibs a lot as a child and when she was accepted into Hogwarts and they weren't their mother started to resent Chloe but they haven't changed how they treated her at all.
HISTORY
General History: Chloe was born to two loving parents into a very large and loving family. Her parents had met at work a few years after school and decided to get married. The street that she grew on was filled with her family, both her grandparents and all of her aunts and uncles living on the same street. She had two half cousins around the same age as her as well as another one and an aunt that was only a few years older then her. Life was great for Chloe. Her childhood was filled with dirty knees and broken bones.
When her older cousin and aunt went off to Hogwarts her and her two half cousins started to pretend that they were also going, and although Chloe would sometimes show little signs of magic neither of them ever did. However the family all just figured they were late bloomers. They continued to be close, however Dannette would often give Chloe looks that made her uncomfortable so she stopped going to their house and instead Desiree and Dylan would come play at her house or their grandparents houses.
When Desiree didn't receive her letter on her eleventh birthday her mother didn't come out of her room for a while and fearing for his niece and nephews safety Derrick took both Desiree and Dylan into their house to live. They lived there for a few months before Dannette calmed down and took back both children. Chloe was worried, but her birthday was a few months later and she got her letter. Dylan was only a month younger then her and when he didn't get his letter Chloe was sad. Her two cousins wouldn't be going to Hogwarts with her. However they didn't mind, though Dannette was another story. She lost her mind and ran away, but not before trying to attack Chloe, Dylan and Desiree with a spell that her parents defended them from. She ran from the law, knowing she would be imprisoned if found, leaving Desiree and Dylan to be taken care of by their Grandparents. Chloe was very hurt by this, as was Desiree and Dylan, but they are all getting over the experience along with the rest of the family.
Right before leaving to school Chloe shaved half her head off and using magic her mother colored it her two favorite colors, red and green. She wants to make an impact on Hogwarts and although she wishes her cousins were coming with her she understands that this is an adventure she has to go at alone.MISCELLANEOUSThe Sorting: Keeva told her there was nothing to worry about, most likely she would be sorted in Gryffindor or Hufflepuff like the rest of her family. She knew there was no chance she would be a Ravenclaw like Aunt Fiona and Uncle Sean, she just wasn't that bright, but she was okay with that. Plus Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were good houses from what her family had told her. "Chloe McKinnon!" Called the teacher as she made her way to the sorting had. Uh the thing didn't match her outfit, but she was only wearing it for a second so it would be okay. "Ohh... Hum.... Well I'm sorry to say but your going to disappoint your family." the hat told her before screaming Slytherin. It was taken off her head before she could even ask why. What the hat saw in her she still hasn't figured out, though she was happy to be a Slytherin.
Boggart: Chloe's boggart is her aunt Dannette casting one of the unforgivable curses her way. When Chloe cast the spell it turns to her locked in chains where she could never hurt anyone again.
Mirror of Erised: Although she knows it will never happen when she looks into the mirror Desiree and Dylan are by her side with wands. All three of them are casting magic while the rest of their family, besides Dannette, are standing behind them clapping.
EXTRA CREDIT
Patronus: An Irish Wolfhound. She has one back home that she wanted to bring to Hogwart's but was unable to. Once when she was smaller she feel into a pool and was drowning when he saved her. Because of that and the fact that when she is home he goes everywhere with her she sees Irish Wolfhound's as protectors.
Greatest Treasure: Her lucky Galleon that her aunt Keeva found when she was in Hogwarts. She told Chloe it brought her good luck so Chloe always has it on her.
Manner of Dress: Chloe's biggest thing is matching, if she doesn't match from head to toe she won't be seen by others. She likes to wear just about anything but knows that a first impression is often the strongest so she makes sure to look her best at all times.
Favorite Class: Herbology and Potions
Worst Class: Charms

Accepted by Fig GENERAL Name: Vadima Von Ripperda
Gender: female
Birthday: June 20st
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: mixed
Wand: Apple/ Pheonix / 11 / Surpisingly springy
Wand Hand: right PERSONALITY General: Vadima is unusually charismatic and cheerful for a Slytherin with an easy smile and a warm accent and a skill with words that can make almost anything sound reasonable. She has a tendency to laugh and sing and be a good deal more chatty then most of her Slytherin brethren and it’s not unusual to see her striking up a conversation with someone new in the hall. She appears to be quite disarmingly friendly and the word to watch here is ‘disarming.’ Vadima is clever enough to give most Ravenclaws a run for their money only information and knowledge to her is a currency. Her favorite currency in fact. She may act friendly and even truly be friendly, but she’s just as dangerous if not more so then your average Slytherin. Vadima is not so much the troublemaker as the accomplice or the brains behind an idea. She sees little use in silly wand waving and magical combat preferring to solve her problems with intelligence or black mail and vicious tactics in the unusual and rare event that her intellect fails her. However that won’t stop her from making friends who happened to be skilled in such areas if only so they can hold off any attackers from her long enough for her to figure out a plan. In fact most prefer not to startle or scare her since she has a bad habit of producing flame and setting things on fire when surprised that or throwing things. Vadima simply prefers to get others to do the heavy lifting while she does the thinking and is fully capable of leading and working hard for a group so long as such work remains in the research or intelligence area. Her talent with potions and likely later on alchemy will make her an excellent source for ‘eh-hem’ restricted items for any willing to buy from her or bring her the ingredients to brew. She also has a distinct love of experimental magic and has been toying around with the idea of creating miniature dragons. Sadly though her talent with potions is great, if not a wee bit questionable when she tries pairing it with transfiguration during her experiments, most Hogwarts students aren’t willing to risk buying from a first year even if she has an unusually wide selection. Possibly Vadima’s greatest gift though is that of language. The young Slytherin has a natural if not unanny knack for picking up new languages be they magical or non-magical and has a great passion for words. In fact she wouldn’t make a bad ambassador or explorer and is certainly the girl you want with you if you’re traveling. She currently speaks English, Romanian, German, Goblin and wants to learn Mermish or any other new language she can get her hands on. She lives by the saying ‘Knowledge is Power’ and if there is one thing Vadima wants it’s power. She wants to be a wizard of great renown and thirsts for greatness pushing herself relentlessly to achieve her lofty goals. Vadima is a rather quick witted, open minded, and flexible girl however if a project doesn’t hold her attention in it’s fullest it’s likely to be forgotten unless she’s constantly reminded of it. However such reminders may not always be met with gratitude since if there’s one thing Vadima hates it’s being interrupted in her work. However she’s a skilled enough talker usually to get herself out of whatever trouble she’s just gotten herself into. Despite her cheerful and rather uncaring and confident exterior Vadima secretly longs for approval and affection though she’s very good at hiding it. However when someone special to her does shoot her down or a project she’d really put herself into has failed she’s prone to bouts of melancholy and is not unlikely to forget any wrongs done to her. Vadima can be very very vindictive when wronged and with her natural skill at potions it’s best one watch what they eat or drink for a time though that still might not be enough to save you from her long memory.
Habits: She has a habit of making lists of things and tends to double check everything if she can while mumbling to herself. Vadoma also hums while she works and fidgets with her hair clip and hair when bored. Sometimes lapses into other languages when not paying attention.
Hobbies: Potion brewing, reading (Mostly books on magical creatures, herbs, and Alchemy), Writing, Attempting to learn new languages to add to her growing collection of them.
Likes: potions, dragons, books, riddles, bright colors
Dislikes:dueling, cruel jokes, her grandparents, spicy food, confined places with no readily available exit. FAMILY Mother: Merela Gunari
Father: Amedius Von Ripperda
Siblings: none
Extended Family: Urquhart Von Ripperda / alive / wizard / grandfather
Lupa Von Ripperda / alive/ witch / grandmother

Harman Gunari / alive/ muggle/ Uncle
Bo Gunari / alive/ muggle/ cousin
Tamas Gunari/ alive/ muggle/ cousin
Lionza Gunari/ alive/ muggle cousin
Tobar Gunari/ alive/ muggle/ cousin
Relationship with Family: Vadoma greatly loves her mother and father and adores her cousins even if they do sometimes give her a rough time for being the only girl out of the lot of them. She loves her grandfather Nacu, but only respects and is somewhat resentful of her grandmother Lupa and grandfather Urquhart. This is mostly due for them taking her away from her parents for the time being. HISTORY General History: size]
The Von Ripperda family was an extremely old pureblood german wizarding family famous for producing some of the finest duelists in the world. However as the world has gradually become safer and life and death duels a good deal rarer the family has lost much of it's fame and fallen out of favor with the high society they once so greatly prized. This ignominy only increased when Urquhart and Lupa Von Ripperda's eldest son Amedius who had shown great promise at school and begun to gather fame among the higher wizarding social circles for his wit and intelligence fell deeply in love with a young Romani muggle girl. Despite his families threats and pleas he married her and followed her to London where he was promptly cut off from the family fortune, disowned, and managed to find a decent if somewhat low paying job working for the Ministry in their magical creature management department.
Soon enough Merela and Amedius had a little bouncing baby girl they named Vadima and unable to keep coming up with excuses for the odd and very magical occurrences his child caused Amedius was forced to tell Merela that he was a wizard. She took it well enough though was a bit faint at the idea of dealing with not only the troubles of a normal child, but one that could very well be levitating cookies or blow up half the house practicing magic one day. However after some time the three of them settled in and Vadima grew up in a loving, caring, if not sometimes a little threadbare home. She often on calm days went to work with her father marveling at all the magical creatures and spouting off a constant string of questions about everything she saw and she was happy.
The Von Ripperda's though had taken to pretending their eldest son and his mixed blood disgrace of a family did not exist and began pushing their younger son Caractacus to succeed and take his elder brothers place. However their hopes were dashed when Caractacus was killed in a floo accident and they were left to face a future with no magical heir and the possibility that their line would come to an end.
That is until news came through some of their associates that Vadima had received her entrance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy. Vadima's father was no doubt thrilled and her mother though not quite grasping the prestige of it all was very proud of her daughter. However as the joy wore off the worry began to set it. The little family was barely getting by as it was off of her father's salary and what her mother could pull in with side jobs. Even with her uncles help it was unlikely they could afford the books and many things a young growing witch would need for their schooling. Preying upon this it was then that the Von Ripperda's stepped in. They offered to pay the fees, the books, get Vadima the nicest clothing and equipment. Everything she would need and more would be given to her for her schooling and Amedius wouldn't have to worry about a thing. Like all things though it came with a catch. For the duration of her schooling Vadima would live with them, visits with her mother and father would be allowed during the holidays, but she would be under their custody and act as heir to the family. . .unfortunate blood status or no. With a heavy heart and the understanding that with help a bright girl like Vadima could go far they agreed and Vadima was later sent off to Hogwarts with the knowledge that at the end of the year she would go to live with her grandparents.
MISCELLANEOUS
The Sorting:
Vadoma stared down at her shoes. They were new and made out of good black leather and chafed a little against the fluffy white socks she wore. Everything she wore was new. Vadoma had always loved change and the excitement it brought, but as she stared down at them waiting with the other first years for her name to be called she wasn't entirely sure she liked new. New meant leaving her parents and cousins behind. However that didn't stop her eyes from roaming as she marveled at the ceiling and candles and all the magic. Growing up in a mostly muggle household her father had used magic rarely since it made her mother a bit uneasy. "Vadoma Von Ripperda!" The sorter called as she stepped up to the stool taking a sit as the big tattered talking hat was lowered onto her head. In the midst of the dark she heard a voice. . .
Such a curious mind, but a lust for power as well. You want knowledge and you don't seem despite your morals to mind bending the rules a little to get it. You want to solve riddles that lead to fortunes, knowledge, and greatness. I expect great things from you “SLYTHERIN!” The hat was quickly pulled off her head and Vadoma slipped off the stool padding over the black and green covered table and the other students who sat there smiling and clapping for her.
Boggart: Being trapped and suffocating alive.
Mirror of Erised: To become a world famous Potions master or Alchemist. Also to ride a dragon.
EXTRA CREDIT
Patronus: Romanian Longhorn (By far her favorite dragon it reminds her strongly of her mother’s heritage.)
Greatest Treasure: Her potions set and the little gold Romanian Longhorn hair clip her father gave her before she came to Hogwarts
Manner of Dress: Neat and usually with some bright bit of color on it and a few burn or soot marks from potion experiments or being startled. (Has a bad habit of accidentally setting things on fire when scared or surprised.)
Favorite Class: Potions and transfiguration which will later on be replaced by alchemy
Worst Class: Defense Against the Dark arts and Flying (Refuses to get on anything that doesn’t have wings and the common sense not to run into a wall with her riding on it.)

Approved by Charmaine KitteridgeGENERAL  Name: Jude McHale
Gender: Male
Birthday: November twenty fourth
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Mixed
Wand: Vine, Dragon Heartstring, thirteen inches
Wand Hand: Left PERSONALITY General: Pushy, ambitious, determined. Jude first learned these from his grandfather, then honed them over time with help from the world around him. He tries to solve problems from every angle he can think of. If in need of help, he's known for demanding instead of asking. He's not one for manners unless he wants to impress.
Being an only child, he wasn't able to discover and develop his leadership qualities until he started attending Hogwarts. He's quite good with his mouth now; being teamed with Engel Aurelius Winther, his easygoing best friend since his first year, has its perks.
In order to adapt, or when he senses that things aren't going his way, he uses passive manipulation, psychology, and/or persuasion. During a foul mood he becomes quiet, giving the cold shoulder, refusing to discuss how he feels, and resorting to glares. He can be quite warm around who he calls his friends.
Habits: Glaring, huffing a sigh when he's frustrated (subconsciously picked this up from Gareth), randomly muttering German words or phrases when he's in deep thought (picked this up from Engel, mocking at first, then became subconscious)
Hobbies: Collecting green scarves, reading
Likes: Winter, any shade of green, loyalty, cold hands and ears
Dislikes: Being called "Judy", yellow, not being able to persuade or get his way, warm hands FAMILY Mother: Izabelle McHale, Thirty nine, Slytherin, January twenty sixth, Mixed
Father: N/A
Siblings: N/A
Extended Family: Gareth McHale, Grandfather, Sixty one, Slytherin, May twenty first, Mixed
Engel Aurelius Winther, Best Friend, Fourteen, Hufflepuff, January seventeenth, Mixed
Relationship with Family: Gets along very well with his mother and grandfather, rarely fights, gentle disagreements and opinions are common. HISTORY General History: Izabelle McHale, Jude's mother, was never one for serious relationships, sticking to short flings; hence the reason why she doesn't know, or care, who his father is. She did well in Hogwarts, then left to work in France after graduating. She moved back to England shortly after Jude was born, getting help from her father to raise him. Gareth, Izabelle's father, naturally became Jude's father figure.
Growing up, and before Hogwarts, Jude spent most of his time with Gareth while his mother worked and went out, naturally causing them to become close. Gareth taught him many important things and exposed him to magic very early on.
Jude met Engel in the middle of a very snowy winter during their first year. He found the German boy lounging on the castle grounds near the lake on his back, watching the snow fall. At first he thought the boy to be weird (and who would enjoy laying out in the cold?) After some light disagreement the boy convinced him to join him. Winter then became Jude's favorite season and Engel quickly became his favorite, and best, friend. MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting: Jude sat back in his chair with a sigh. It was a quiet summer night. He was in his grandfather's kitchen, sitting across from the older man. Gareth had just asked him to retell his memory of when he was sorted.
A quiet, brown haired boy of eleven, donned in first year robes, entered the Great Hall with the crowd of new arrivals. The enchanted ceiling mirrored a clear night sky with a crescent moon and countless stars.
He waited a while for his name to be called, and when it was he quickly made his way to the stool and sat. The Sorting Hat was lowered onto his head, and muttered to itself before shouting his choice.
Getting up after the teacher removed the hat, the boy cautiously made his way over to the Slytherin table.
Boggart: Loosing his voice
Mirror of Erised: Captain of the Slytherin Quidditch Team

Manner of Dress: Neat, impressions are important.

Approved by Charmaine KitteridgeGENERAL Name: Lisirra Rayard, Lis/Liz for short.
Gender: Female
Birthday: June 15th
House: Hufflepuff
Blood Status: Half-Blood
Wand: A springy yew wand. The length is seven and one-half inches long. The wand's core is unicorn mane.
Wand Hand: RightPERSONALITYGeneral: Generous, humorous, friendly, loyal, open-minded, these are a few of the qualities that can describe Lisirra, qualities which can be found in most Hufflepuffs. She has an easy-going personality, being quite flexible if need be. Being the middle child of her parents, she dislikes fighting, and will often suggest the middle ground.
She will also be the first one to finish her homework. While she acts like someone who would wait until the last minute to get things done, she actually quite likes learning about new things and practicing what she may have trouble with if she can improve. However this can be a detriment as she usually will only hang out with her friends if they also have their homework done. She feels that since it's done, they won't have to worry about it and less stress in one's life is always a good thing.
Habits: She tends to really get into whatever she is reading, so much that it is quite hard to get her attention when she is. And whenever possible, she can be found reading outside while it is warm and sunny. Also she is quite curious about the history of, well almost everything, so if she learns about something new, she tends to go off and thoroughly check out its origins. Can be a bit naggy when it comes to finishing things early.
Hobbies: Reading history books, hanging out with friends, going to the library,
Likes: Sunny days, history, warmth, reading for a few hours every day.
Dislikes: Waking up early, she is not a morning person. Fighting, she will often be the one to stop her sibling's quarrels. Lying is also something she tends to avoid, as usually it only leads to conflict. Being cold is also something she dislikes intensely as it keeps her from focusing on anything besides trying to stay warm.FAMILYMother: Miriam Kammos
Father: Emez Rayard
Siblings: Iona Rayard (17/F), Arthur Rayard (10/M)
Extended Family: Aldo Rayard (Father's brother [FB]), Leas Rayard [FS], Ross Kammos (Mother's brother [MB]), Ted Kammos [MB], Grandparents (deceased both sides).
Relationship with Family: Lisirra gets along well with her family, though she tends to have the usual squabbles with her siblings. Her father helped her to get into history with his job as a journalist. When she could, she would follow him on jobs. She gets along well with her mother too who is a pediatrician. Of her two parents, her father is the magical one being a wizard, and although that caused some fighting between them when her mother first found out, Miriam eventually learned to accept it and allowed her children to be accepted to Hogwarts, should they be invited. However, Lisirra is the only one to have gotten an invitation so far, however because of their good relationships with their parents, she and her sister, who is non-magical still get along well.
During the holidays, she and the rest of her family tend to celebrate together since they all live in England. Her aunt and uncle on her father's side are twins and both magizoologist and although they are quite busy, at least one of them tends to make it to any family celebrations.HISTORYGeneral History: She and her immediate family live in London, England. Her father's side have been mixed blood for quite some time, often choosing muggles as their spouses, believing that one of the best ways to have muggles and magic folk get along is through intimate relationships. So when Emez was on the job, gathering information for an article of his about muggle medicine, falling for Miriam was almost inevitable. However it wasn't until after their first child was born did she learn about her husband's heritage. It was a rocky relationship at first because of it, but eventually once she started to learn more about the magical world she finally forgave Emez and they have been happy ever since.
Emez was sorted into Gryffindor while both of his siblings were put into Ravenclaw. Past magical relatives on her father's side have been in all houses, none more popular than any other, so no matter what house one is sorted in, it's usually encouraged within the family, even Slytherin.
Lisirra grew up learning about both the magical and muggle worlds and had her interests encouraged by her parents. Her father, when allowed, would often take her with him while he was investigating. Even though he never really left Eastern Europe, Lisirra got to travel quite a bit with him, her sister coming along if she so wanted. However once she was invited to Hogwarts, Lisirra started to become more interested in magical history and while no one else in her immediate family, besides her father, is magical she still has a positive relationship with them, usually telling them about what she has learned at Hogwarts ((assuming that muggles in families are allowed to learn about wizarding stuff, I would assume at least)).MISCELLANEOUSThe Sorting: Lisirra impatiently waited at her seat for her name to be called. Sometimes, having a name that was at the lower end of the alphabet was annoying but she couldn't really do anything about it. She was nervous, not that there was any specific house that she wanted to go into, but she hoped that whichever one was picked for her that she would be able to make some friends.
"Lisirra Rayard!" Her name had finally been called, and she quickly got up, almost tripping, and sat on the stool. And then the hat was put on her head. She could hear it sigh as it said, "Oh great, another one of you Rayards. I always have trouble sorting you into houses, your family never gives me anything consistent." It grumbled as it scrunched it's 'face' in concentration. "Well, let's see then... I see friendliness, and loyalty, both good for Gryffindor, but also a interest for learning... Hmm... well, Slytherin probably isn't for you either. With that let's go with... HUFFLEPUFF!!!" The hat finished with a yell and Lis couldn't help but blush at how long it had taken for it to make its decision. She quickly went over to the correct table, where a few other students had made room for her.
Boggart: Darkness
Mirror of Erised: As the author of a famous book about Magical History

Notes: You need to really look over your form, you've got her likes and dislikes as the same, you've also got repeat sentences and thoughts. Also this form is for Makaila, not the twins so try and tailor it for just her and mention her twin lightly. ~ Charmaine Kitteridge GENERAL Name: Makaila Leigh Thomas
Gender: Female
Birthday: Dec 24th-11 yrs old
House: Ravenclaw
Blood Status: Mixed
Wand: Rosewood; Unicorn Hair ; 9 1/2
Wand Hand:Left PERSONALITY General: Makaila,is the most outgoing and studious. She can be a little over protective with her sister. The may be twins but their personalities differ from each other drastically. She is a very loyal, and intelligent. Her main weakness is her family but at the same time they give her strength to keep moving forward.
Habits: Tends to twirl her hair around her finger when nervous.
Hobbies: Ice skating/Figure skating, Gymnastics, Reading, Cheerleading
Likes: Green and White,Studying, Spending time with her family,Ice Cream!!
Dislikes: Anyone who harms her family, People who think they are better then her, Onion, Tomatoes and Pickles FAMILY Mother: Bailey Paige Green
Father: Tommy Oliver Thomas
Siblings: Makenzie Elizabeth Thomas
Extended Family: Antonio Thomas/Muggle/ Grandfather /Freelance Photogapher
Elena Thomas/Ravenclaw /Grandmother/ Interior designer
Ms. Aquatic Rain / Foster Grandmother / Muggle / Teacher at a school for Troubled Teens ~ Bailey's Foster Mother
Evelyn / Foster Aunt / Elf / Student ~ Bailey's Foster Sister
Olivia / Grandmother - Bailey's Birthmother / Hufflepuff / Among the dead
Philip / Grandfather - Bailey's Birthfather / Gryffindor / Among the dead
Relationship with Family:Makaila is very close to her family. She spends a lot of her time with her sister and ice skating. She loves spending time with her family, because they are so tight knit and they will always be there to support her. She adores her parents and looks up to them. HISTORY General History: Being the youngest by a couple of minutes. Makaila is the first back to hogwarts along with her twin sister. Her parents never went to Hogwarts, nor did they get magic. So this was something new. They live in Waterford, Ireland when they are not at school. Makaila's mother's name is Bailey. MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting:
Makaila glanced around the Main hall, at the other students that were gathered, she was both excited and nervous about attending the school but she had the company of her twin sister. So her state of mind shifted to being calm. She sat down at a table and waited for her name to be called. She watched as each student stepped up to the sorting hat. She was waiting patiently and her name got called and she jumped to her feet. Before taking a breath and walking up and sitting under the hat.
The hat placed on her head, and she waited a few minutes before the hat spoke up "Ravenclaw!" it said and she blinked before smiling lightly. It was probably due to her being the studious and getting school work done bit of her personality.
Boggart:
If Makaila encountered a boggart during her time at Hogwarts, she would see her family being torn apart, her parents arguing and her and her sister growing apart and doing her own thing. She would also see herself failing at her ice skating and her cheerleading and living a lonely life and standing on ends with her family
Mirror of Erised:
If Makaila looked through the Mirror of Erised she would see herself as a greate mother to her children, living a happy life and continuing to spend time with her family and be shopping with her sister at the mall, for new outfits. She would see herself having a great ice skating and cheerleading career and she would be aging gracefully.

Manner of Dress:
Makaila, usually wears outfits that are cute and functional. She is also seen wearing some fancy outfits when it comes to her cheerleading and her ice skating.

Approved by Charmaine Kitteridge GENERALName: Carter Hawklight
Gender: male
Birthday: March 14th
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: mixed
Wand: Ash wand. Length is just a bit over ten inches long. The wand's core is dragon heartstring.
Wand Hand: leftPERSONALITYGeneral: Carter is one who you can say is nice to everyone, but has an underlying motive, that is to have people buy from him. That does not mean he cannot have actual friends, just that when he first meets you he will think of you as a customer rather than "potential friend". He's quite neutral to all the houses, not caring where a student is from. He doesn't care about bloodline either, with money being the bottom line. As long as you can pay, he likes you. He doesn't really mind if one is poor, just because you may not be able to buy from him doesn't mean you are somehow beneath him.
Habits: He tends to tap his pen on something while he's thinking and puts his glasses on his head when he is counting money or recording/dealing with sales, but this tends to make him think that he has lost them. He also will tend to get a bit annoyed if one interrupts him while he is thinking or working. However, if he can, he tries to help his friends if they need it or need something, of course at a discounted price. He also tends to get provoked if his friends are being bullied in some way. He also tends to be quite stingy with his money, tending to go the cheapest route if at all possible when buying something, and will often barter to get items at a discount.
Hobbies: Selling items, they usually aren't scams, but that doesn't mean he can't come up with schemes. He spends his time being a hustler ((one that hawks [see definition #2] items/sells them)) like his older brothers.
Likes: Money, cash, dough, bling, green stuff, etc. He also has a passion for giving others what they want.
Dislikes: Wasting of money, bullies.FAMILYMother: Addison Belard
Father: Conroy Hawklight
Siblings: Barrat Hawklight (15), Phineas Hawklight (17)
Extended Family: Price Hawklight (Grandfather, deceased)
Keelin Hawklight (Grandmother)
Ofir Belard (Grandfather)
Lesleigh Belard (Grandmother)
Florence Hawklight (Uncle)
Relationship with Family: Carter was especially close to his grandfather, Price who taught him much about muggle businesses, since he had been a muggle banker. He doesn't think much about his maternal grandparents as he doesn't see them often since they live in Greece. He gets along well enough with his parents and has a normal relationship with them, but being the youngest child he was raised more by his brothers, as his parents were usually working. He is closer to both of his brothers, often looking up to them as role models and wanting to join them in their businesses as hustlers at Hogwarts. He's less acquainted with his Uncle, who often is traveling because of muggle business around the world.HISTORYGeneral History: Conroy Hawklight was the first in his family to be invited to go to Hogwarts in his family. It was the first time his parents had even heard of it. However they allowed him to go anyway, as they believed it would be good for him. He often had found school boring, so hopefully something like this would gain his interest.
There Conroy met Addison as they were both assigned to Slytherin. She however was more familiar with the wizarding world, but she had been the first to be put in Slytherin so she didn't have any prejudice against any other houses. And eventually friendship turned into dating, and marriage after graduation. Afterwards they eventually moved to Bath, where Conroy's parents lived. At this time Addison's parents moved to Greece, so their children were more familiar with Conroy's parents than hers.
While his parents were busy, they would often let Conroy's parents look after the kids, which is where the three brothers learned about the business world of muggles and other such ventures. However, at about age 7, Price Hawklight took a turn for the worst and eventually died. By that time though, the Hawklights figured their kids could take care of themselves while they were gone, and so left them to their devices as they worked most of the day. Unfortunately while his siblings were at Hogwarts, Carter was alone and his grandfather's death had effected him greatly, eventually causing him to lose interest in school and just about everything else. He was okay once his brother's were home for breaks, but otherwise he could only be found reading books, never going out with friends, not enjoying a normal childhood due to his unaddressed feelings.
His parents noticed this and tried to get him interested in something, signing him up for many programs, but eventually they all fell through, and the only place they could get him to go was the library. When he was around 10, Carter eventually started to get anxious as to whether or not he would get an invitation to Hogwarts, worrying that he might not be accepted. However his fears were quelled when he finally turned 11 and was able to go with his brother's to Hogwarts with them.MISCELLANEOUSThe Sorting: Carter looked around the Great Hall as he waited for his name to be called. He knew he would be put in either Ravenclaw or Slytherin, he just wasn't sure which one. His eldest brother was in Slytherin, but his other brother was in Ravenclaw. He wasn't sure what the difference was that had caused them to be in different houses, but he didn't mind either one. Even though both of his parents had been in Slytherin, they were not ones to dwell on it's bad reputation or care if one had mixed blood, though perhaps that was more because of his father's side, since he was the first wizard in their family.
"Carter Hawklight!" He uncrossed his arms and walked up to the chair and sat down, waiting for the hat to do its work. He could hear it chuckle a bit. "Well now, it seems we have a young entrepreneur of sorts, or at least you want to be. Cleverness, cunning, resourceful... seems you learned something from your brothers, though the last one was interested more in how business worked. Well, it's decided, SLYTHERIN!" The hat ended with a yell, Carter smirking a bit as it was taken off and he joined his brother at the Slytherin table.
Boggart: A robber (in "typical" [ski mask, etc.] robber clothes) ((will probably change eventually, once I can find something that fits more))
Mirror of Erised: Being rich beyond what he could ever hope for.
EXTRA CREDIT
Patronus: raccoon
Greatest Treasure: An abacus he got from his paternal grandfather.
Manner of Dress: Casual business and with style. You have to look good if you want people to buy from you.

Notes from Cynnybun:I'm not going to approve this just yet. His profile is very bare in my opinion, and you've simply glossed over a lot of rather important things. I'd like to see his personality and history expanded upon, they're very short and vague at the moment. Get inside his head!
Also, in his relationship with his family, you seem to be confused. In one sentence you say that his parents have not spoiled him, but in the very next you say that he has been given everything he has ever wanted. You need to decide and explain better.
Overall I think you have a good start here, he just needs more substance. Keep working! c: GENERAL Name: Carson Everett Jacobs
Gender: Male
Birthday: April 17th; 12 years old
House: Ravenclaw
Blood Status: half-blood
Wand: Mahogany; phoenix feather; 9 1/2 inches
Wand Hand: right PERSONALITY General: He is sometimes socially awkward, but is open to making some new friends and meeting some new people in other houses. He is open to accepting anyone and everyone for who they are.
Habits: NA
Hobbies: Loves taking walks, reads, Studies hard
Likes: outdoors and the movies
Dislikes: People who disrespect him, tease him & bully him. FAMILY Mother: Coral Jacobs
Father: Raphael Jacobs
Siblings: NA
Extended Family: NA
Relationship with Family: He is very close to his parents, more then you know. One or both of them have saved him from danger. He loves them too much to stop communicating with them. Mainly, because they have always been there for him and they have not spoiled him too much. To some extent his life has been sheltered and he has been given everything that he wanted. But he has been given opportunities to be independent. HISTORY General History: Carson is from England and when his parents discovered his magical powers they decided to send Carson to a school for gifted children and they came across Hogwarts so they sent him to Hogwarts for him to honed his magical skills and better control with them. They wanted him to use his magical powers responsibility. MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting:
Carson sat on the stool of the great hall, while is fellow students looked on from their tables. It was that time where each student was sorted into their appropriate houses, he placed his hands in his lap while he patiently waited for the final decision. They placed the sorting hat upon his head and a few seconds passed by and the hat spoke up "ah...Carson Jacobs...based on your personality and what you like to do..." he paused and a few seconds more ticked by and the hat spoke up "you belong in the Ravenclaw house!" it said.
He jumped off the stool and nodded politely to the people at the front of of the great hall. He wandered over to the Ravenclaw table and sat down with his fellow ravenclaw students and he nodded politely to each of them in turn.
Boggart:
If and when Carson encounters a boggart his greatest fear of not using his magical ability responsibly showed itself. It showed him being a horrible and evil wizard with lots of hatred and anger at the people around him and him hurting his parents.
Mirror of Erised:
When Carson looked into the Mirror of Erised he saw himself using his magical ability for helping those in need and for the greater good. He saw himself with passion and appreciation on his face. He saw himself as a great wizard and using his magical ability responsibly.

Approved by CharmaineGENERALName: Rococo Galeleo
Gender: Male
Birthday: July 4th
House: Gryffindor
Blood Status: Mixed Blood
Wand: Aspen Wood |Unicorn Hair | 12 Inch
Wand Hand: Left PERSONALITY General:
Living with six siblings, Rococo has developed the socials skills of any well raised child. He is polite when necessessary and a demon when necessesary. He is very prone to arguing and fist fights because being the middle child meant a kid had to fend for himself. With his brawn he triumphs. Unfortunately, he isn't the smartest wand in the shop. He doesn't always think when it comes to making a move and usually gets in a lot of trouble... and drags people with him.
If confronted by a teacher, Rococo's defense is to become cocky or talkative, a loudmouth that should learn to shut up. He tries to be a good kid, defending his fellow Gryffindors and friends like they were his own family. His main problem is the disgust he holds for most, if not all, Slytherin. It really isn't his fault because Rococo can be very, very easily influenced. His older siblings and grandparents always told their horrible memories, exaggerating on occasion. He just grew a grudge before ever meeting one. Sometimes, when he can't help it. He will get the urge to start fights with them or bully them.
When Rococo loses a fight he will most likely pout on the inside while puffing out his chest on the outside. He has too much pride and it sometimes gets in the way of his sense of right and wrong. He tries to justify his actions by doing something reckless in front of his peers hoping they'll forget about his screw up. He can hardly lie unless it is something really serious or he is telling one of his "famous tales", his face will usually look weird when he is trying.
Habits: He blinks a lot when nervous. He absentmindedly starts counting everything when he is bored or spaced out.
Hobbies: Rococo enjoys playing cards, talking, and reading books about dueling.
Likes: Rococo likes talking, telling tales, lie or truth, sugary foods and drinks.
Dislikes: He dislikes failing or losing, getting caught in a lie and when someone messes with his friends and family. FAMILY Mother: Aubrey Marie Hatley Galeleo is the pure blood adopted mother of Rococo and comes from a long line of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Members of her family have been attending Hogwarts since the very start, and she wishes to have it continue the "tradition" with her children and theirs. She fell madly in love with Lester when Lester had seen his sister off at the train station. Thinking their relationship no more than a crush she didn't expect to marry and have children. She is currently 45 and pregnant with her eighth child since her family is surprisingly fertile.
Father: William Jes Geleleo is the adopted muggle father of Rococo and comes from a muggle-born mother and a half blood father. Only his younger sister has been to Hogwarts, but he met and fell in love with Aubrey at the train station and wrote letters until they could truly be together. Unfortunately, his muggle ancestry got the better of him and he developed schizophrenia. He and Aubrey love each other and their children dearly. He is 47.
Siblings: Emily, Elise and Ella are Rococo's triplet younger sisters. They are only five but show the occasional sign of magic. They have a difficult time getting along with each other and the rest of their siblings, adjusting to living in a home with many people in it.
Joey and Daniel are Rococo's older brothers. Joey is in his seventh year while Daniel is already out of Hogwarts. Both are very close to each other and are protective over their family. Joey is hoping to become a professional quidditch player one day while Daniel travels the world collecting odd and magical items for fun. Joey is a Ravenclaw while Daniel was a Gryffindor.
Melissa is Rococo's eldest sibling had turned out to be muggle-born. She is Rococo's real mother but didn't want him at the age of fifteen when she had him so it is thought that she is his sister. She had graduated and moved out a while ago to become an actress and to get away from Rococo. She writes but otherwise has no other contact with her family. She feels like she and her dad are alienated in a family of magic users. Nothing is known of who Rococo's real father is as Melissa claims she has no recollection of who it could be.
Extended Family: Elmira Lira Delacourt Hatley is Rococo's grandmother on his mother's side. She is a true Gryffindor proud of her house. Unfortunately she has recently been widowed and in a state of hysteria or delirium conspires that Slytherins were involved in his death. Currently living with her daughter. She is 71.
Douglas Lew Hatley is Rococo's deceased pureblood grandfather on his mother's side. He was an intelligent and proud Ravenclaw. He died from old age a happy man that had always loved Elmira. He died at the age of 78.
Lavender Olive Duke is the muggle-born grandmother of Rococo on his father's side. She is a retired veterinarian at the age of 84. She is no longer married to Harley with whom she had her two children with. She is married to a muggle named Devon Hecksly Duke.
Harley Gunner Galeleo is the half-blood grandfather of Rococo on his father's side. He is a retired member of the Ministry of Magic and lives in America with his second wife Lorelai, a pureblood. He is 85 and is very proud of of his grandchildren.
Various aunts, uncles and cousins on both sides of the family that Rococo barely knows about.
Relationship with Family: Rococo has strong and weak ties to his family. Being the middle child often makes him feel forgotten, so he sometimes wishes he was an only child. When his siblings are in trouble he comes to their rescue by fighting for them or trying to lie for them. He loves his mother and father dearly and hardly ever says bad things about either. He has healthy relationships with all of his grandparents including the new additions. HISTORY General History:
Rococo was born on July Fourth just as the fireworks were set off. Melissa claims she was drunk and doesn't know who the father is. Unfortunately she didn't want Rococo, and Aubrey and William decided to adopt him when he was born. Very little people know that he had been adopted but some say it can be seen just by the odd color of his hair not matching any other member of his family.
All of the children, up until it was time to go to Hogwarts, were home schooled in Muggle and Magic knowledge.
Rococo learned he was a young wizard at the age of nine when he accidentally turned Emily's hair green for a week. He wasn't expected to be a wizard because of his family situation but the family celebrated nonetheless. He had another experience at a park when he got so mad at his one friend that he turned the kid's skin a different color. From then on he avoided getting in trouble by trying to keep his anger in check.
On his eleventh birthday, Rococo got his letter for Hogwarts. He and his sister accidentally blew it up with some fireworks they weren't meant to play with. To protect his sisters from getting in trouble he lied for them and took the blame. He was almost threatened that he wasn't going to Hogwarts, but his parents decided against it and sent him anyway.
MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting:
Feeling nervously excited, Rococo waited for his name to be called. He had hoped that he would be a Gryffindor, because he knew he wasn't quite intelligent enough to be a Ravenclaw like his grandfather. As many students went before him and were sorted in a four houses, he felt an awful feeling like he may be sorted into Hufflepuff or worse, Slytherin. Now he felt sick to his stomach.
"Rococo Galeleo!" called the announcer.
Rococo took careful steps up to the sorting hat. He was confident Gryffindor would be chosen for him, but the other houses were completely possible. Playing with the hem of his sleeve, he waited for the hat to be placed on his. Breathing slightly uneven he felt the hat touch his head. The hat began making noises of debate that weren't quite understandable.
The hat shouted, without a doubt in his tone, "Gryffindor!" The students seated at the Gryffindor table shouted and clapped their excitement. Rococo smiled a bright and happy smile when as he walked down to the table to be united with his new housemates proud of himself.
Boggart: Rococo's boggart would definitely be a fire lizard. He is terrified of them because he watched his uncle be burned and killed by one when he was younger. He'll have nightmares of them and wake of screaming.
Mirror of Erised: Rococo would be a dueling champion in the Mirror of Erised. He has always wanted to become a master duelist and make his family proud of him.EXTRA CREDIT Patronus: Rococo's patronus would be a stag, because even though he has his slip ups, his bravery and strength is always with him. He isn't quite selfless but he tries to be when it comes to those closest to him such as family, friends and housemates.
Greatest Treasure: His greatest treasure is then the frozen spider his dead grandfather gave him right before he died. The spider is attached to a chain, so he can wear it as a necklace. Rococo sometimes swears he hears his grandfather speaking to him when he wears it, so he keeps it close to him at all times.
Manner of Dress: Usually one not to conform to the "norm", Rococo usually dresses casually or in whatever he pulls from the closet or trunk. His favorite colors to wear are orange, green or purple but he'll make anything. His clothes are usually a little over sized when he feels lazy or prim and proper when he is feeling nice.
Favorite Class: Rococo's favorite and best class is transfiguration because he loves to watch things transform.
Worst Class: Rococo's worst class is potions, because he can't quite get the measurements right or usually just gets frustrated.

Antonio Thomas / Tommy's Father / Muggle / Freelance Photographer

Relationship with Family:As you may know Makenzie was born into a family with the parents not knowing magic exists. So with that being said Makenzie is very close with her parents. She loves to watch her mom skate and occisonaly join her in the skate, she likes to learn from her grandparents, like sewing. She spends most of her time with her twin. So yeah, i would have to say she is pretty tight with her family and that is what makes her happy the most.HISTORYGeneral History:Makenzie's parets started out young when they had children, they were just kids themselfs. Her mother, Bailey, was a young 16 year old child, confused with the world, and placed several times in foster care that was until her last foster mother adopted her and several other students as well. Bailey, her mother went to the school that her adopted mother taught at. It was a boarding school basically. All the troubled teens lived there. She was taught to love something that would boost her confindence. She picked up the habit of ice skating and every day she got better and better. Well that was until a blonde hair, blue eyed male made her fall head over heels for him. Tommy, his name was. She got closer and closer to the boy, feelings grew strong every moment. They took their relationship into a whole new level. Sneaking out, dating, and even enjoying a little one on one. Well that little one on one got her pregnant. Bailey didnt know what to do, but she needed more love, than what Tommy could provide her with, or so she thought. She decided to have the babies and was still madly in love Tommy, he was her complete and utterly rock of foundation she needed. The twins were born on Christmas Eve, a special time of year that Bailey and Tommy both loved. Makenzie, her sister, her parents all live in Waterford, Ireland. They have some Irish culture, but their parents never persude it on the children to learn that deep of their heritage. Makenzie is the first to go to hogwarts in her family, she is very blessed with this gift, of course somewhere and someone in her family had magic but who? This is something Makenzie must find out later in life. MISCELLANEOUSThe Sorting: The train had finally stopped at the station for hogwarts. Makenzie followed her sister, she was nervous. This was the first time she was away from her parents, but atleast she had her sister. She followed the new students to the docks, where they took the boats across the lake to the castle. She never had really rode in a boat before.
This experience was new, she looked around , it was dark, the ride was nice and smooth, with a tiny touch of magic feeling. Her excitement grew as they got closer to the castle. The castle looked magical with the lights all a glow in the windows, and with her being new to magic she knew nothing.
As the walked into the Great Hall, Kenzi glanced at all the students happy faces that sat at the four long tables. She wondered how they got there before she did. She shook her head and looked at all the tables and studied which table was whose. As she pondered this question, the sorting ceremony had begun.
Student after students went before her by last name, finally they got to the Ts. "Thomas, Makenzie!?" The person called her. 'Wait, where Kali? Did she go ahead of her or no?' She thought inside her head as she looked for her twin while she walked up to the brown stool. She sat down as the black hat of mystic sat upon her blonde hair. She spotted her sister and smiled at her.
The hat took a while, it couldn't choose where to put her, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, the choices where overwhelming. She thought about what she loved doing best. The hat cried out, "Ravenclaw!" She sighed and got up and joined her fellow housemates. With a smile she knew this house was for her.
Boggart: Her boggart would be her sister's gravestone. She loves her sister very much and she rather see her happy and healthy and alive.
Mirror of Erised: She sees herself winning the Olympic gold in figure skating. Along with the supporting family of her husband, her daughter, her son, her sister, and her parents.
EXTRA CREDIT
Patronus: A arctic fox. She sees this as her patronus because one the arctic fox, lives in the snow and snow is her favorite. She can be also sly as a fox, only when needed. She believes that it would protect her and sly her way out of danger, if there was any around.
Greatest Treasure: Her beloved treasure is this gold necklace she got when she was very young. On the necklace chain is a Moon charm, a star charm and a big heart gem. Her gem is red. She shares the same necklace as her sister, but the gemstones are different colors. This necklace is special to her because it was given to her on her birthday december 24th, all those long years ago.
Manner of Dress: She is more the reserved girly type. She doesn't like to wear too short of a skirt and refuses to wear pants unless she is absolutely forced too.
Favorite Class: Astronomy and Study of Ancient Runes are her favorite classes.
Worst Class: Defense against the Dark Arts and Arithmancy are her worst subjects.

Accepted by FigAhahahah finally....... orz GENERAL Name: Bryn Dempsey.
Gender: Female.
Birthday: November 5th.
House: Slytherin.
Blood Status: Mixedblood (nearly pure) - Always insists that she is a pureblood, but is unwilling to talk about her family history.
Wand: Elm | Dragon Heartstring | 9 5/8 Inches | Sturdy
Wand Hand: Right. PERSONALITY General: At first glance, Bryn is just a bit of a brat. Snotty, snooty, and mouthy, she doesn't hesitate to tell it like it is or to voice her opinion. Bryn is a very opinionated young girl as well, so this can happen quite often. However, this doesn't mean that her opinions are always correct. But don't tell her this; she is as stubborn as the most stubborn mule, and it only gets worse if she knows that she is in the wrong. She can get very angry and very defensive, and may even lash out verbally at her opponent. Bryn isn't the best at remaining calm in any situation, and can be very rash or impulsive, but this is especially so in arguments. Thankfully, she can usually handle her magic pretty well in terms of her emotions.
For an eleven-year-old, Bryn can be very manipulative. She analyzes people and figures out the correct way to behave around them, and can be very underhanded and sneaky when it comes to getting what she wants. If she's got her eye set on something, it's only a matter of time before she gets it in one way or another. If someone or something gets in her way, she will shove them aside or do whatever is needed, as long as it's not too much work. She's only eleven years old, after all, and she has better things to do than tiptoe around someone to get what she wants! If she's particularly impatient, she might even simply take what she wants. Clearly, Bryn can be abrasive and selfish, even greedy at times. She deserves the best, after all!
However, Bryn also has some deep-seated issues concerning her blood status. For generations, her family was known as one of the most powerful pureblood families in the United Kingdom. But it is tainted by one lone halfblood, who carried on the Dempsey line and subsequently polluted it. By now the line is nearly pure again, but Bryn is constantly reminded of her "impurity" whenever she returns home; it is only a matter of time before one of her older relatives begins to grumble about an ancestor's mistakes. She sees various pureblooded students around the school and attempts to become close to them, if only to boost her own reputation. She does want friends, but unfortunately does not recognize yet that people will like her if she is simply herself (though that may not be entirely realistic, either).
Bryn Dempsey is not all bad, however. She is incredibly determined and strong-willed for one so young, and is loyal to those she deems worthy or manages to get close to. She will not hesitate to defend a friend, and if someone is persistent enough in their assertions that blood status does not matter, Bryn may push aside her prejudices and become friends with just about anyone. She does appreciate friends that are easy to control, but does not want to associate with those who are complete doormats. Her standards are messed up and rather confusing, but hopefully she will figure them out and find herself soon.
Habits: Bryn has a hard time sitting completely still, if only because her mind is always working. She often bounces a leg or taps a finger, or even twirls her pen while studying, and constantly seems to shift her weight when standing.
Hobbies: Reading, competition, and exploring the grounds (possibly even when she is supposed to be in her dormitory).
Likes: Succeeding, being right, sleeping in late, putting in the minimum amount of work needed to succeed, and outsmarting others.
Dislikes: Being wrong, excessive noise, most of her extended family, insects, and snakes. FAMILY Mother: Deidre Dempsey (McClellan) - Pureblood - Formerly of Slytherin
Father: Grady Dempsey - Mixedblood (nearly pure) - Formerly of Slytherin
Siblings: Nolan Dempsey - Mixedblood - Muggle Elementary School
Extended Family: Bryn's family is too expansive to list here, but it has primarily remained pure in blood. There was an indiscretion somewhere previous in the line, thus tainting the blood (because they then had numerous children), but it is largely ignored and continued adherence to 'pureblood-only' marriages has nearly purified the family line again.
Relationship with Family: Bryn is fairly close with her parents, especially her father. She looks up to him, because he is a strong man with strong morals and beliefs, including that one stray halfblood in the family line makes no difference. She may be a bit grateful to her mother for adding more magical blood, and may even be a bit jealous of her. Unfortunately, the family system is not matrilineal. Bryn's relationship with her brother is a bit strained; he's quite the little annoyance. She usually ignores him, but can often get into little fights with him when they're forced to be together. Deep, deep down, however, she loves him. He's family, after all.HISTORY General History: Bryn and her younger brother grew up in one of the various Dempsey family estates across Ireland and the eastern region of the United Kingdom. Bryn's particular home was in Dublin, Ireland, right along the coast. While the weather was often temperamental, the scenery was beautiful and perfect for the girl to grow up in. She regularly explored the city and the surrounding area whenever possible, but may have consequentially put off her schoolwork to do so. She had few friends when she was younger, and still doesn't have many, but believe it or not she has become more tolerant in the past few years. It seems that she has always wanted to do things her own way and on her own time, and other people generally slow her down.
A letter from Hogwarts was expected since Bryn was little, and when it finally came it was celebrated as if she had gotten a very prestigious award. Bryn had been exhibiting magical skill for some time before then and while she was nothing to be afraid of, her parents insisted that she was remarkably proficient already. While she was a bit nervous about going off on her own, she was also very excited to go to Hogwarts, eagerly purchasing all that she needed and more from Diagon Alley, and immediately fitting in with many of her Slytherin classmates. She has flourished at Hogwarts so far according to the many letters that she writes home to her parents, and seems more than happy to return in subsequent years. She is determined to become the strongest witch she can.MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting: The crowd of first-years was almost oppressive as they all pressed as far toward the front of the Great Hall as possible, chatting among themselves about which houses were best and which they were sure to be placed in. Bryn knew that she would likely be placed in Slytherin, and she wanted to carry on the legacy, but she also knew that the Sorting Hat could be fickle and see things that even the student couldn't. Though her name was the fourth letter in the alphabet, there were an unusual number of children with names A through C this year and she had to wait quite some time to be sorted. In actuality it was only around ten minutes, but it felt like a lifetime!
When her name was finally called and she made her way up to the tall, rickety stool to be sorted, Bryn couldn't hide the confident grin on her face. She was being sorted in a Hogwarts house, she would be a real witch soon! The hat sat on her head for all of one minute before shouting, "Slytherin!" and being removed with a flourish. The table and emerald and silver erupted in cheers like always, welcoming yet another into their midst. Bryn strutted her way down the few steps and over to the end of the table, seating herself beside a particularly greasy-looking boy with crooked teeth. He greeted her excitedly, and she was at least civil in her returned greeting, but she largely ignored him for the rest of the meal. She was already planning what she would do with her new space in the dormitory.
Boggart: The creature was shifting, undulating as it recovered from the last student's spell and Bryn stepped up before it, taking in a deep breath. She could do this. All she had to do was raise her wand, think of something funny, and cast the spell. It would be over quickly and no questions would be asked.
But she wasn't prepared for the tapestry to be revealed, to slowly weave itself together from the bottom up. It slowly revealed generation after generation of Dempsey family members, until it was getting dangerously close to the offender who had polluted the line so long ago. The burn marks were beginning to appear, and as the blackness faded and began to show a face, Bryn panicked. "Riddikulus!!" She cried, whipping her hand out and hoping that it would work. With another flourish, the tapestry flapped in the wind and morphed into a very large, very polka-dotted pair of frilly bloomers hanging on a drying line in the wind. She laughed among the rest of her classmates, expertly hiding her panic and trying to still her fluttering heart as she made her way to the back of the crowd. That had been entirely too close for comfort.
Mirror of Erised: The room was dark and rather cold as Bryn stood there, clutching her robes tighter around her small body. The mirror was beautiful, golden and ornate, but the slight age and wear on its surface was endearing as well. It gave it a sense of wisdom, she thought, a sense of...regalia. As she stepped closer, peering into the foggy glass, a shape began to clear and she saw a tall, beautiful woman standing there. But where was she? And then it dawned on her: this woman was her!
The blond reflection smirked at her confidently, tossing her hair over her shoulder and holding up her glowing wand. Medals adorned her neck and her robes were the most beautiful that Bryn had ever seen. Clearly this woman was strong, powerful. Bryn wanted that more than anything. Strength and power allowed you to do whatever you wanted; no one could stand in your way! With a bright grin, she whirled on her heel and ran from the room. If she was going to succeed, she needed to get to work!EXTRA CREDIT Patronus: A crane, thought to be one of the most elegant animals. Bryn associates elegance with purebloods, and is reminded of her mother's graceful posture whenever she sees a crane.
Greatest Treasure: Her mother gave her a locket before she left for school, an heirloom from her side of the family. Bryn treasures it because it is associated with a 'perfect' family, one to be admired. She doesn't wear it often, for fear of losing it, but looks at it every night.
Manner of Dress: Refined and professional, but not wholly feminine. When not in her school uniform, Bryn still wears a lot of green. She's proud of being a Slytherin and carrying on the family pattern. Her hair was originally a bright platinum blonde, but she died most of it on a whim. She's not exactly loving it, but she really liked the color green and couldn't resist (not when a cute boy said he could help her with the spell!). She doesn't hate it, but she's getting a little tired of it already. Unfortunately she cannot find the boy to reverse the spell, and doesn't know how to perform it herself.
Favorite Class: Transfiguration. She's always been attracted to the slight deception of it, that little element of intrigue.
Worst Class: History of Magic. While, yes, learning from the past is helpful, Bryn has never been good with dates and names. Certain events will garner more interest than others, but in general the class receives a frown and a very bored look from the Slytherin girl.

Accepted by Fig GENERAL Name: Piper Leanne Williams
Gender: Female
Birthday: September 10th
House: Gryffindor
Blood Status: Half-Blood
Wand: 12 1/4 inch / Apple wood / Unicorn Hair Core / Surprisingly Swishy
Wand Hand: Right PERSONALITY General: Piper is typically described as friendly, easy-going, and dependable by her friends. By those who do not like her, however, she is described as flippant, sloppy, and idle. Both sets of descriptions are, to a certain extent, true. Piper would do anything in her power, and attempt a great many things outside of her power, to help someone in need. If her enemy asked her for help, she would help him the same way that she would help her best friend.
At the same time, however, Piper's easy-going nature prevents her from taking many things seriously which to others are of great importance. Neatness just so happens to be for Piper one of those things she doesn't take seriously in the least. Her uniform is almost always wrinkled or disheveled to some degree, and her sleeping area is a perpetual disaster zone.
Habits: She has a habit of zoning off during long, uninteresting lectures (particularly in History of Magic), and forgetting her quill.
Hobbies: In her spare time, Piper enjoys exploring the Hogwarts' grounds, playing quidditch, wizarding chess, and exploding snap as well as reading muggle fantasy novels.
Likes: Piper likes sweets, dragons, adventure, and magical objects with peculiar and often useless enchantments. The stranger and less practical the object, the more Piper likes it.
Dislikes: Although Piper is a generally good student, she dislikes long hours of studying. Instead of pouring over her notes at the end of the term, she usually reads over her notes once or twice before sneaking off to one of her favorite spots on the grounds in order to read one of her muggle fantasies or take a nap. FAMILY Mother: Angela Williams (nee Wormwood) / Mixed Blood Witch / 33 years old / Employee in the Ministry's Muggle Liason Office
Father: Richard Williams / Muggle / 35 years old / Insurance Agent
Siblings: Peter Williams, 3 years old
Extended Family:
Charles Williams / Paternal Grandfather / Muggle / 65 years old / Used Car Salesman (retired)
Phyllis Williams / Paternal Grandmother / Muggle / 66 years old / Teacher (retired)
Molly Williams / Paternal Aunt / Muggle / 40 years old / Bank Teller
Albertus Wormwood / Maternal Grandfather / Mixed Blood Wizard / 57 years old / Member of the Ministrey's Research Committee
Lucinda Wormwood / Maternal Grandmother / Mixed Blood Witch / 55 years old / Senior Editor of The Grimoire, an academic wizarding journal
Sebastian Wormwood / Maternal Uncle, called by the name "Uncle Seb" / 30 years old / Magizoologist
Relationship with Family: Piper Williams has a solid, healthy relationship with her family. Her parents are firm but fair disciplinarians who raised her to be able to function equally well in both muggle and magical society. Additionally, as there is a substantial difference in age between Piper and her younger sibling, there is little in the way of a rivalry between them. In fact, the young Peter looks up to his sister and has tendency to follow Piper around like a baby duck when she's at home, copying her every move in an effort to be more like her. HISTORY General History: Born and raised in a populous London suburb, Piper was brought up as a member of two very distinct worlds. Both magic and the muggle systems of science and technology were a part of her life from a very young age. In her house, the telephone sits right beside the singing tea kettle, and the figures in her family portraits watch television with them at night. Growing up, the Harry Potter books were instrumental in helping Piper understand the strange, two-sided world she lived in. The books were something she could share with her magical and muggle friends alike, and reading about the struggles of the characters in those books helped her to decide what kind of a witch she wanted to be when she grew up. When Piper packed her bags to go to Hogwarts, she gifted her Harry Potter books to her younger brother, Peter, so that they could also help him one day. MISCELLANEOUS The Sorting: Piper's mother was a Ravenclaw, as was her grandfather, her grandmother, her great grandfather, and her great great grandfather. Nearly every Wormwood that went to Hogwarts was a Ravenclaw, and when the sorting hat was placed on Piper's head, she expected to be placed in that house, too. Yet Piper longed to be a Gryffindor as her Uncle Seb had been, and as her favorite characters in the Harry Potter series had been. Before the Sorting Hat announced its decision to the hall, it cheekily said to her, "Yes. You wouldn't do for Ravenclaw at all. A much better fit for you would be...GRYFFINDOR!"
Boggart: If a boggart were to appear before Piper, it would take the appearance of an emaciated, sunken-cheeked corpse with bloodied hands as Piper's greatest fear is being buried alive. As a result of her fear, Piper is also afraid of entering anything even remotely like a coffin including wardrobes, closets, and small windowless rooms.
Mirror of Erised: If Piper were to stand before the Mirror of Erised, she would see herself surrounded by friends and family with a hatchling dragon perched on her arm. Piper's greatest dream is to become a dragonologist when she graduates from Hogwarts, and to one day ride on a dragon's back. EXTRA CREDIT Patronus: A Common Welsh Green Dragon
Greatest Treasure: Her family and friends
Manner of Dress: When not in her Hogwarts uniform, Piper prefers to dress casually and comfortably. On holidays and breaks, she tends to wear jeans, an old, loose T-shirt, and a pair of dirt-covered sneakers. Additionally, even when Piper is in her Hogwarts uniform she leaves her shirt untucked, her sleeves rolled up, her tie loose, and the top button of her shirt undone. She simply doesn't place much importance in her appearance and prefers to let her actions, rather than her clothes, speak for her.
Favorite Class: Defense Against the Dark Arts and Care of Magical Creatures
Worst Class: Astronomy and History of Magic
