Nationality: British/Welsh Year: 1st
Name:Maergrethe Rei Linwood Age: 12 Day of Birth: March 27th
Pronounciation: Mare-greathe, Ray, Lynn-wood.
Meaning:
House:Ravenclaw Blood Status:Half-Blood
Wand: Cherry wood, Unicorn hair, 16 inches, Swishy Wand Hand: Left
More About Wand:
Cherry: A wood of femininity. Draws off the element of earth. Used for healing, romance, and Binding spells. Seeks a harmonic companion. Excellent for Divination.
Unicorn Hair: The unicorn is a creature of mystery and beauty. Gentle yet powerful, ancient yet pure, a strand of its hair is a wise choice for one who wishes to cast healing and protection spells. It has long been thought that unicorns protected the forest creatures, nurturing and overseeing plants, flowers, and trees. This core would make an excellent companion to woods that draw from the element of earth.
Manner of Dress: She'll wear anything as long as it's purple. She usually tends to wear somewhat girly things more these days, though she does like to wear these off white purple toned jeans and a very fuzzy purple sweater when she's out of her uniform.
Voice Style
Sexual Orientation Unsure..
Personality:
Stubborn
When she gets something stuck in her head, there is no arguing with her about it, she's not going to change her mind, even if what she wants to do might be dangerous. It's like trying to reason with a mule. You'll end up with something hurt and a dreadful headache.
Friendly
When she wants to be, Maergrethe can be really friendly. She's interested in people and how they live and has no qualms about asking hundreds of questions to find out more about people. She loves to hang out with a person for however long it takes to figure them out, then she might gravitate to a new person once she's accomplished it. While she's friendly..she has no time for cliques or gossiping. She finds it boring..and way too beneath her.
Energetic
Boy is she energetic! She loves playing games with boys because then she has the excuse to kick up her heels and play hard. Growing up with a lot of brothers has given her a hardier stamina and she can play much longer than a normal girl. This also means that it takes a lot to wear her out. Even when her sleep is limited she has no problem waking up cheery and ready to play hard the next morning. Her boundless limit of energy and cheery attitude in the morning can be a mite annoying at times. And cause others to want to tie her up and shove her in a closet.
Flirty- She's loves to flirt with guys and girls. Strangely she finds it funny to see girl's reactions when she flirts with them. While she's just playing at liking them at the moment, she does have some underlying attraction to other girls..which seems a bit odd to her.
Habits: Wrinkling her nose, fidgeting,
Hobbies: Collecting head bands, drawing, reading, Sports, Magic, Writing in her Journal
Likes: Fantasy books, Playing elaborate war games with her brothers, The color Purple, books on magic, practicing magic,
Dislikes: being used as the "prisoner or damsel in distress" in her brothers' games, Being forced to clean, Being stuck inside on a sunny bright day, Constricting itchy robes, Tight new shoes that need breaking in, School girl drama...it drives her batty! Getting lost in a crowd, Being left behind or left out, Arithmancy, Rainy days, Anything frilly and pink! Anything frilly and pink!
Favorite Class: Charms, Divination
Worst Class: Arithmancy, she just can't stand the numbers. She often gets mathematical terms mixed up..and then it gives her a terrible headache.
Greatest Treasure: Her greatest treasure is a purple bound journal and a very fancy quill pen that brothers gave her for their last birthday. As well as the pygmy puff, Puffball. Her older brothers gave her for her birthday, it was purple her favorite color!
Found in these Locations: Any and everywhere! This girl likes to get around. Mostly she's hanging out with anyone who will let her, especially her brothers and their friends.
Favorite Quote: "Purple is the best color of all."

Relationship with Family:
Maergrethe is really close to her mother, mostly because they are the only females in the family. They spend a lot of time shopping and cooking, though Maer is kind of a clutz in the kitchen. She's still working on getting better at cooking though.
Since her father is constantly bringing sick animals into the house, all the kids are really good with helping him care for them. While it's normally magical animals he deals with he also tends to help ordinary animals as well and they've all had a hand in it. Maergrethe likes animals and all, but she often gets impatient with them and dislikes how dirty they can get her clothes.
She is closest to her brothers, probably because they are triplets. They sort of have this sixth sense with one another and always seem to know when one of the others is in trouble or hurt. They spend a lot of time playing these elaborate war games, and despite her protests, Maer is often used as the hostage of one of them.
Maer has had a hand in helping raise her younger brother Casius and spend a lot of time with him when her mother is busy with household things. She'll often be found reading stories aloud to him or playing puzzles and other board games with him.

History
Growing Up
Life inside the Linwood mansion is normally semi controlled chaos on a good day. This pretty much means anything and everything can happen within the blink of an eye. Thankfully, the family has learned how to laugh at things and to store breakable items far from the reach of little boys hands and antics.
As for Maergrethe; she's considered one of the boys despite her being a girl. This is not what her parents had intended, but they are rather pleased with how she is turning out. Sure so she could work on her rebellious and stubborn nature but they're sure she will eventually grow out of it.
Every older Linwood child has been put in charge of one of the younger ones, thus insuring that they learn responsibility and problem solving. This has helped immensely in keeping the children in line as well as not becoming spoiled.
While they aren't poor; with the amount of people in their immediate family they aren't particularly rich either. They have learned to make due with what they get and to use other means to entertain themselves. The children will often spend weeks planning elaborate talent shows or plays and put them on for their parents and the younger kids.
General
Maergrethe Rei Linwood and her brothers, were born on March 27th. She was the first of the three and the only daughter to be born to the Linwood family. She came into the world kicking and screaming and demanding attention, and she hasn't stopped yet. She learned how that to get attention she'd have to not only talk the loudest but do the craziest things as well.
Life in the Linwood family has been loud, lively, and chaotic at times, especially with Maer around. Her brothers are rambunctious enough, but Maer can be downright wild. Which isn't always the best for the House, yard or pets. She takes great pride in attempting to outdo her brothers at everything they does, as well as two of her older brothers. She tends to lead her younger brothers into the worst trouble that can be imagined. There have been a few broken bones, concussions, and sprained joints thanks to Maer's wild games.
To try and tame her, at the age of 9, her parents sent her off to an all girl's boarding school that specialized in etiquette training. After spending two months at the place, and being disciplined rather harshly for her wild ways, Maer decided to take matters into her own hands. It wasn't a pretty sight..and the school officials were forced to close it down because of the damage she had inflicted. No charges were brought against her because of the treatment she had undergone was illegal and downright wrong. Her family sued the teachers' for what they had done, but it didn't really help Maer all that much.
Maegrethe bounced back from the ordeal rather easily, and hasn't really talked about it since. Probably because she doesn't want people to think that she's ever been unhappy. She's gotten slightly less wild and reserved, but that doesn't last that long around her family.
Since she's always been surrounded by magic and magical creatures, Maer has always wanted to be a witch, or enchantress. Magic is like a forbidden fruit to her, if she's told she can't do a spell or enchantment she will try even harder until she's mastered it. This kind of gets her in trouble, it doesn't make things very easy on her family, what with an Auror living next door. If they didn't live in a magicking area, she'd get punished much more often.
She was ecstatic when she received her letter from Hogwarts, and looks forward to being able to do magic and succeeding at it. She's a bit worried that she'll end up sorted into a House with one of her brothers, when all she wants to do is shine on her own. She has no idea if they feel the same way or not; though she suspects that perhaps they do.

Sorting
Maergrethe rolled her eyes and leaned against her brother Liam as she waited to be called. Of course she'd have to go last, as her name came after theirs in alphabetical order. It rather irked her that even though she was the first born she often had to go last, it just wasn't fair!
She sighed and tapped a foot as Leoben made his way up to the sorting hat and then turned to look at Liam thoughtfully. She had the strangest thought that they were all going to end up in different Houses. She wasn't too surprised when the hat placed her brother Leoben in Gryffindor, it seemed to fit his impetuous and super active personality. She shared that over active side with him, unlike their brother Liam who moved so slowly and seemingly without any sort of purpose when he walked. It made her tired just watching him most days.
And then it was Liam's turn, and thankfully it didn't take the hat long to place him. He was placed in Hufflepuff; which once again suited him. He was loyal and a great friend which seemed to be the main personification of the Hufflepuff House. She waved at him as he walked super slowly over to the Hufflepuff table and sat down.
And now, it was her turn. With a big smile on her face she stepped up the marble stairs and slide onto the stool making sure to keep her purple skirt from flipping up and showing off her underwear. Now that would have been embarrassing. She wrinkled her nose at the dank musky smell of the old black hat as it was lowered onto her head.
A sneeze escaped from her nose before she could cover it. "So sorry," She apologized to the teacher that was standing in front of her. The hat mused over her talking about the different Houses and where she might do well. Finally after what seemed like hours it finally spat out, "Ravenclaw!"
Maergrethe grinned in triumph. Finally a House all to herself where she wouldn't have to compete with her brothers for attention. Well mainly Leoben, Liam wasn't really as much of an attention seeker. She slid off the stool and scampered over to the Ravenclaw table.
Patronus
Her patronus would be a small bob tailed cat.
Boggart
Maergrethe was super excited! Finally she'd be getting to see a real live boggart! She waited in line for her turn, wondering what her greatest fear would be. She had never really thought of it until now.
"Miss Linwood, any day now." the professor told her with an impatient tap of his foot.
Maergrethe was a bit embarrassed that she had been caught daydreaming. "Sorry Professor." She said blushing brightly and stepped forward to have a look at the boggart.
The boggart swirled and morphed into her, dressed in a pink party dress and tons of lace and frills all over it. It was so frilled that the dress stood out three feet from her double's body. Maergrethe gasped in anger and horror and whisked out her wand and shouted, "RIDIKULOUS!" She was satisfied when the dress's hue changed to purple and all the frills and fluff exploded.
She stepped back to regard her now purple clad double in satisfaction. "Now that is much better." She said with a smile on her face.
Mirror of Erised
Maergrethe tiptoed down the hall, making sure to stay as quiet as she could. She didn't want someone to catch her out of the Ravenclaw dorms this late at night, as it would cause her to get detention and lose some of the House points. Still she couldn't help but feel driven to find this mirror that showed what one most desired.
Her heart nearly leaped into her throat when she heard shuffling feet heading towards her and she held back a squeak of fear and dove behind the nearest column. She held her breath and prayed that they would walk by without finding her. She clenched her hands into fists and waited impatiently as the feet slowly shuffled off. She glanced around the corner and was relieved to see that she was once more alone.
"Whew, that was close." She exclaimed wiping the sweat off of her forehead.
She padded down the hallway in her purple fluffy slippers until she finally found the door of the room of Requirement. She was rather relieved that she hadn't had to go too far before the door had appeared to her. She had heard that a lot of people went looking for it to never find it. She figured it was because they really weren't desperate enough for it, as it only came to a person in their time of need or something like that.
Maer glanced around and then slowly and gently pushed the door open. It opened without a sound, revealing a room filled from top to bottom with an odd assortment of items. There were some old trophies in one corner, old ancient chairs, cages, old wardrobes and desks, It was kind of like walking into a flea market and not knowing where to start.
Maer glanced around and spotted a tall flat object covered with a long sheet. That had to be the mirror, she just knew it! She half skipped, half slid her way over across the shiny floor on her furred slippers and came to a stop in front of the mirror. She reached up, grasped the sheet and pulled it off to reveal a really tall glistening mirror.
She stared at it for a moment and then frowned. How come nothing was..oh wait! She was changing, growing taller and she looked as though she had finally gotten a bosom! That was definitely something to look forward to! She watched eagerly and nearly crowed with joy when she saw her older self getting accolades and trophies from the Headmaster of Hogwarts. She closed her eyes and celebrated. Oh if only it were true!

Maergrethe is a commissioned kid, The Feeling Is Gone was nice enough to make her for me after I waited for several months for a different artist. I think she turned out extremely beautiful.
