Faye has a very relaxed demeanor, and is hard to anger. She is very confident about herself and definitely shows it. She is an optimist and her primary motivation in life is tranquility. She wants to lead a life with minimal conflicts and disturbances. Her integrity is normally conscientious.Her focus rarely wavers from what she sets her mind to. Her attitude towards people, if she deems them worthy of her time, is very supportive and caring. To those she deems stupid and lazy, she gives little to no attention to.

HISTORY
General History:
Faye was born in France on January 4th. Her mother drifted away soon after, leaving the infant with her father. He instantly became attached to her, spending every second he could with her. He named her Faye because her petite, fragile size and striking beauty reminded him of a fairy. When he had to resume work, he refused to pass her on to a nanny, vowing that he alone would be responsible for bringing up the child. He would always have her near him and gave her his constant attention. He introduced her to many things early on, which helped her develop into the extremely bright girl she would become. Her first word, naturally, was “Papa”. She was raised bilingual, speaking both English and French. Everywhere her father went, she went, and every person they met fell in love with the baby girl. By the time she was four years of age, Faye could read both basic English and French. She could write in cursive and knew how to spell her whole name. She loved to sit in her father’s lap or beside him and listen to him work. She became cultured and sophisticated at a young age, and interacted mostly with adults. Her love of travel grew each time they went to a new place. Faye read everything she could get her hands on. Once she could read both French and English literature, her literacy skyrocketed. Her favorite things to read were different spellbooks from her travels, in which she would revel in the sheer number of things magic could do. Faye became fascinated with magic at an early age, and jumped at the chance to watch her father perform it every time she got the chance. She and her father often came into contact with intriguing magical objects. As she got older, Faye traveled all over the world, meeting new people, learning new spells, reading new books, and eating new food. Faye became more and more familiar with magic and how it worked. She would try to immerse herself in the culture, and learn as much as she could. She was able to assist her father in his projects and such, keeping an immensely strong bond with him. Her favorite place to travel to always remained France. She always felt it pulling her closer to it, unaware that part of her bloodline resided there. Before her next birthday rolled around, Faye’s father urged her to try and decide which school to go to. Faye immersed herself into this project of hers, diving deep into the histories of each major wizarding academy. She easily ruled out Durmstrang and quickly narrowed it down to Beauxbatons and Hogwarts. She fretted day and night, trying to decide between the two, when her father gently nudged her in the direction of Hogwarts. The year before her 11th birthday, the two moved permanently into their extensive estate in London and awaited her acceptance owl to Hogwarts. In that time, Faye took up dance as an extracurricular activity. Once her letter arrived and she accumulated all of her books and supplies, Faye boarded the train to Hogwarts waving and blowing kisses to her father at the station. Faye remains oblivious to the fact that Veela blood runs through her veins.

MISCELLANEOUS
The Sorting:
When the weathered Sorting Hat was placed upon her head, Faye calmly closed her eyes and recalled the many grown witches and wizards that had reassured her about her Sorting and had confided in her the tales of their own Sorting. Her own father had discussed his Sorting with her, and how he was Sorted as a Slytherin. Faye hoped she would be Sorted into Slytherin house. Her whole family had been Slytherins. Faye took a deep breath and let the Sorting Hat do its job. She could feel it sifting throug her mind, muttering words like "smart" and "witty" and "ambitious" before trumpeting its final decision. "SLYTHERIN!" it bellowed, and the entire table of jade-clothed scholars rose and cheered as the ancient had was lifted off of her head.

Boggart: IF Faye ever came across such a nasty creature, she would find that it would take the form of a female Mountain Troll that somewhat resembles herself. From passages and tales that she has read from her travels, Faye has declared these beasts filthy, stupid, disgusting, and hideous; the very things that repel and horrify her. Faye's biggest insecurity is her appearance, and to be confronted with a revolting, moronic being that resembled herself would send her shaking in a corner. IF she could gather herself enough to perform the counterspell, the Troll would be covered in make-up and she would find herself laughing at how ridiculous it appeared.

Mirror of Erised: Faye has a pretty good life. A father that loves her with all his heart, a strong mind, a healthy body, and enough money to make all of her dreams possible. The one thing she would see in the Mirror of Erised, if she ever came across it, would be her mother standing beside her, with her Veela sisters circled around them. Faye has no clue about her Veela ancestry, and has no memory of her mother.

EXTRA CREDIT

Patronus: If Faye set her mind to learning the Patronus charm, she would find that her coporeal patronus would take the form of a tiger, the animal that she believes is the spirit of her dad. She knows her dad would protect her and never let harm befall her, so naturally her patronus would take the form of the animal she thinks would most resemble her father.

Greatest Treasure: Faye's greatest treasure would be her mother's pearl earrings, the only connection she has with her mother.

Manner of Dress: Faye always dresses classy yet comfortable. She wears a lot of knit things and smooth, luxurious fabrics like silk. She will wear jeans, if they go with her outfit, but enjoys wearing flowy articles of clothing like skirts and dresses. She often wears different jewelry, but nothing too garish; a simple necklace and her pearl earrings would be her normal accessories. She wears all sorts of flattering footwear, anywhere from boots to heels to sandals.

Favorite Class: Charms; Faye became fascinated with charms at a young age, and often gravitated towards these books and scrolls when at a library or study.

Worst Class: Care of Magical Creatures; she dislikes the mess they make and remind her of the more dangerous and ugly creatures that haunt her nightmares.

GENERAL
Name: Cian Jonas Gringold
Gender: Male
Nationality: Irish/Finnish
Birthday: August 22nd
House: Gryffindor
Blood Status: Half-blood
Wand: Birch, Unicorn Hair core, 9 3/4ths length, Springy
Wand Hand: Left

PERSONALITY
General:
Gregarious
Cian is very extroverted and loves to meet new people and make new friends. He's very social and interested in learning more about people. He's definitely the friendly sort and will often gravitate towards kids who look like they need a friend. He's easy going and gets along well with others.

He's an eternal optimist and always believes there is a bit of good in every person. Even if a person makes his life unbearable he still won't write them off as unredeemable. He's not the sort to take revenge on others for causing him problems either. Which seems rather strange to a lot of the other kids in his House. Cian makes it a mission in life to win over as many people as he can as friends, even when they'd rather be enemies. If that doesn't happen he's happy to allow their karma to get them in the end.

Cian is super disorganized and rarely ever tries to plan things ahead of time. So he's often in a state of disarray when he arrives to classes, and he's often late as well. While he likes learning new things, he often doesn't like to study until the last minute or get started on assignments until there's hardly any time left to complete them. He's often lamenting this and hurrying through his assignments, but despite this he usually does pretty well on his assignments. Though they're often on the sloppy side.

Cian is a night owl, and is often up later than the other kids. He can often be found sitting outside playing his penny whistle and watching the stars when he should be in bed. He can often be found reading as well, though they're not usually school books. Because of his staying up late though, he's often dozing off in the middle of class or sleeping in too late. This causes him to often be running from place to place in a constant case of catch up.

Habits: Whistling when he's in a good mood (which is the majority of the time), biting on his lip when he's thinking, jingling his pockets when nervous (He's got lots of odds and ends in there).

Hobbies: Playing the Penny whistle, whittling little figures of animals or people(Something his adoptive father has taught him), collecting things he finds (coins, feathers, colorful pebbles, knick-knacks, etc.)

Likes: Sleeping in, adventure stories, history, staying up late, weekends, caramel, baked potatoes+clotted cream and bacon, making new friends..he can never have too many.
Dislikes: early classes, getting up in the morning. Expectations people put on him, Studying around other people..they prove a major distraction to him.

Relationship with Family:
Since Cian never knew his birth father personally all he has to go on is what his mother has told him. He thinks fondly of Matias and is glad that he has a musical talent much like his birth father. He hopes to one day have a relationship with his father's family, though he doesn't know anything about them other than their last name.

Cian and his mother are extremely close. They are both very active and love the outdoors. They love to hike, take bike trips and do camping as well. They do as many things as they can outdoors as they are nature lovers. While the two spent a lot of one on one time, they also like to do group activities with other families and friends. They both have the social bug.

Since his mother is a terrible cook and he's not much better, they often go to the restaurant/bar that his stepfather, Bradack owns. A lot of times his mother will get paid for teaching in meals from the other mothers, much to the relief of her family. Often times her new mother in law or sisters in law will come over and teach Cian a few simple things to make in hopes they'll be able to help him not be as bad as his mother. So far..it's not working so well.

Cian and Bradack have grown really close to each other over the years. They are often going on fishing or backpacking trips at least every other weekend during the summer. Most times though Aine insists on going with them, as she loves the outdoors nearly as much as they do. Cian appreciates his adoptive father and the time he gets to spend alone with him. Especially when there's something he needs advice on.

HISTORY
General History:
Cian was about 20 months when his mother settled in the village so he's known no other life than the one he's lived there. Having so many people help care for him, he quickly became quite the social kid without too many problems. There were a few times when he wouldn't want anyone else than his mum and would cling to her, like when he was sick or in a bad mood. thankfully the school schedule was pretty flexible to allow for her to check on him and take care of him when she needed to.

His childhood in the small town was filled with wonderful adventures and lots of fun playmates. He had the freedom to explore and express himself in ways he never would have been able to under his grandparent's thumb. He grew into a very thoughtful and generous kid who always strove to help those that needed it and to be rather intuitive about other people.

Cian was always the last kid to head inside to sleep, and sometimes would even sneak out after his mother was a sleep so he could watch the stars or play his penny flute. His night owl ways have often been a cause of contention between him and his mother. Despite the safety of where they live, she wants to know where he is at all times. He really doesn't like to cause her worry, but it can be hard for him to fight his nature to stay up late.

Cian grew up seeing the older kids perform magic in the class and adults use it around the village so it's not strange to him at all. At home his mother will often use it as a shortcut when she can't figure out how to do something simple. Since she often told him about his birth father having magic as well it wasn't much of a surprise when Cian's magic emerged a few days before his 11th birthday.

Knowing that his parents had attended Hogwarts, Cian was looking forward to getting his letter. It was rather annoying to him that he'd have to wait until the next school year to attend but he took it rather well. He was happy that his mother started teaching him some of the simple charms and spells and things he'd need to know in advance. He was rather glad to have the advantage..especially since school really isn't something he does well with on his own.

When the next school year approached, Cian, Bradack and Aine departed for London to get all the supplies he'd need for class. After buying his robes, school books and other supplies it was Bradack that suggested they go look at the familiars. Cian was immediately drawn to a rather large reddish tom with a white patch on his eye and picked him out instantly, naming him Hobbs.

The family stayed in London seeing the sights for a few days before his parents escorted him to the Hogwarts Express and saw him off. Cian could barely sit still thinking of all the amazing things he'd see and do at the magic school. He didn't really care too much about what house he'd get sorted in, knowing the hat would pick appropriately for him.


Parent's History: Aine and Matias met in Hogwarts but didn't get together until after they graduated. They married in secret when they were both twenty, after Aine discovered she was pregnant. They had some difficult times but were happy with one another. They set up their home in a small flat in the middle of Essex, London.

While Aine stayed home and got it ready for the arrival of their child, Matias was busy working for the Ministry of Magic (in the Magical Artifact's branch). Aine was in her seventh month of pregnancy when several of her husband's coworkers arrived with bad news. Matias had tried to destroy a dark magic object only to have the spell backlash and kill him.

Aine was so distraught that she went into major shock and her labor come on early. Not being able to take her anywhere by the means of magic, as it would affect the baby too much one of the wizard's left to get a midwife from St. Mungo's to aid in the birth. After a very fast, and very hard labor, Cian was born less than an hour later. It was rather bittersweet for Aine that he was born on the day his father died, and that he looked so much like him.

The funeral for him was a rather small affair, with only her and his coworkers and childhood friends from Hogwarts attending. Up until then Aine hadn't noticed that Matias had never spoken of his family and she wasn't able to find anything out about them after his death. It's a mystery to her what happened to them, she knows they exist as Matias left behind one picture that depicts four very annoyed people, with a baby in the mother's arms.

After getting help for a few weeks from some of her friends in the area, Aine packed up her home and moved back in with her parents. For the first few year, having the help of her family was a godsend. She was able to go to night classes so she could get a degree to be a teacher so she'd have a means to support her son. When her parents started taking too much of an interest in her son and planning his future for him, Aine knew she needed to find a job and move him out of there fast.

She was rather fortunate to find a job as a teacher for some young wizard children in a small fishing town in Northern Ireland.The small town was a haven for magicking families wanting to get away from the noisier and too crowded towns full of curious nonmagical people. The people of the town use their magic, but not at the drop of a hat, reserving it for when they truly need it. They normally rely on natural ways of dealing with every day tasks.

When Aine arrived with a baby in tow, the town council was a bit wary of giving her the job thinking she'd not have enough time to deal with their children and her own. Having used up the last of funds to come to the town, Aine begged them to give her a trial period for a couple of months. After a bit of discussion between themselves, the council agreed to do so. They were also generous enough to give her use of a small cottage to live in while she was working.

Aine quickly took to the small town living and was overcome by the how willing everyone was to lend a hand in helping her with Cian. Cian being nearly three melted many hearts and had everyone wrapped around his little finger. Practically every grandmother and woman in town took turns to watch the little charmer. It didn't take long for the rest of the town to welcome the young mother and her son into their close knit community.

Aine proved to be a capable teacher to the rowdy children of the town, and was able to maintain control of them in and out of the classroom. When several of the kids began to show magical abilities early, she was even able to teach them how to control it. This was a relief to the parents, as they weren't always able to keep track of their kids and make sure they weren't running around using magic.

After settling into the town, Aine married again when Cian was 7 to her landlord Bradack. He had fallen for her right after she had come to the town, but was smart enough to know that she needed time to settle in and was patient enough to wait. They are happily married and happy to parent the other villager's children since they have yet to have one of their own.




MISCELLANEOUS
The Sorting: *coming later*

Boggart: Death, losing those he's closest to.

Mirror of Erised: Having a bigger family, some younger brothers and sisters. He loves the family he has now but feels lonely being an only child but doesn't know how to tell his mother. He doesn't want to make her sad.

EXTRA CREDIT


Patronus:
Cian steadied his hand, trying not to let the multitude of eyes to psych him out. he leveled his wand and spoke the spell firmly and clearly. "Expecto Patronum." The wand's end fizzled and a stream of silvery mist shone and then disappeared.

Cian closed his eyes picturing the happy moment when Braddock had asked to adopt him as his own when Cian had been seven.

"Expecto Patronum!" He cried once more.

This time the mist came out in a stream and a figure formed causing everyone to gasp. A magnificent lion strode forward, its mouth open as though in the middle of a might roar. Cian couldn't help but feel elated at the patronus he had managed to produce.

Greatest Treasure: His Penny whistle, his father's old wardrobe and trunk.

Manner of Dress:
Cian's uniform is often slovenly and imperfect, causing him to get points off from his teachers. If he planned better the night before his clothes wouldn't be so disheveled.

HISTORY
General History: Born without the use of his legs. Magic wasn’t able to help him get use of them, because it was his nerves. Same way that they don’t fix eyes and need to use glasses it’s because of nerves. His father works at St. Margles Hospital with the magical beast victums. His mother works for the Misnstry of magic, in the spell regestry department. Between the two jobs Oscar’s parents were able to get him the spelised chair so he can go to Hogwarts. Mostly since there aren’t any Elivators at Hogwarts, and flying carpets are agenst the law.

MISCELLANEOUS
The Sorting: At first when the new group of first years came into the Great Hall the upper classmen watched as they marched two by two between the tables. Then about half way there was a gap in the two lines that could have been filled by two or four new students. Oscar was filling this space but because he was in his wealchair he was noticabley lower then the other eleven year olds and the nearby upper classmen were wispering in confusian as he rolled along the stone floor. Oscar was use to being staired at because of his chair but it seemed slightly more intince this time because of the two lines infront and behind him. The turned into one line in front of the staff table. One teacher stood in front of this table next to a stool and on top of the stool a musty-patched-old-hat that suddenly opened a rip at the brim and started sining.

Then after it’s song about the four houses the teacher next to it took out a scroll and started reading names one by one in alphbetical order. That student would sit under the hat and it would shout out which hous they needed to go to. For some reason it felt rather long before he heard “Masterman, Oscar” from the teacher. When he did he rolled forward up to the small ledge, there were some more meremers from the on lookers and he thought her heard someone ask if he needed help “I got it.” He stated without really thinging about it and his chair was up on the ledge next to the stool.

After he turned his chair around to face the other students, the Sorting Hat was placed donw on his head covering his eyes. “Well now this is a tough one. Tough indeed.

GENERAL
Name: Edax Gilligan Grypus

• His name was given to him by his father whom he lives with. However, his father wasn’t what you would call creative. Edax was the scientific name of the shark, Sarcoprion edax, which his father was studying at the time. Sarcoprion edax is a species with in Sarcoprion which is an extinct genus of shark from Greenland, however some fossils were found in Scotland. His second name was simply his father’s messed up sense of humor. Edax has gill slits like any marine based creature. This prompted his dad to call him Gill. So to his dad and his good friends he goes by Gill… Since his father wanted to make it official he said that Edax’s middle name would be a nice solid Gilligan. His last name is actually a happy coincidence. While he was given his father’s name Grypus is a scientific name of the Gray seal.

Gender: Male
Birthday: May 27th this is the date that “Mermaids: The Body Found” First aired on television.
House: Ravenclaw
Blood Status: 50% mixed blood wizard, 25% Mermaid, 12.5% Selkie, 12.5% Siren
Wand: Silver Lime Wood, Kelpie Hair, 12 ½ inch, springy

• Edax had to get his wand in a different way. When he first walked into the store he was given nasty looks and cold shoulders. His father tried to reason with the leading wand maker, but nothing seemed to faze the man. They could tell right away he was of aquatic decent. And while mermaids were humanoid they weren’t considered beings, thus not human enough to hold a wand. The wand maker refused him a wand even though he was half human. His father swore he would get a wand…
  They went to a smaller store just going out of business and the man was so overjoyed to have a customer that he didn’t care that Edax was slightly aquatic… 25 wands later the man was about to give up and say that Edax wouldn’t find a wand… but the 26th attempt apparently was the charm. The man however charged them an arm and a leg to walk out with it claiming the Kelpie hair in it was from the Loch Ness monster. That only made Edax all the more in love with his wand…. 45 galleons later and Edax finally had his wand.

Wand Hand: Right, however in a pinch he will try to use his left… it tends not to work well… and usually has the habit of casting the wrong spell or backfiring.
APPEARENCE
Skin: Light grey blue. He inherited his mother’s skin… not the dark blue completely aquatic skin but his skin is still sensitive.
Eyes: Dark brown. He got his eyes from his father… they are big and round in comparison to what an aquatic creatures eyes should be. Thus it’s obvious he isn’t directly out of the sea.
Hair: His hair is course and tough and stands on end. So he tends to let it spike. His hair is bleach white. Coming from his mother.
Ears: He has mer ears that kind of look like elf ears…. But are more aquatic-y
Gill slits: He has six gills. Three on each side. They don’t help him at all when it comes to breathing under water, since they are connected to his lungs. It does help him in running though as it flushes in oxygen.

PERSONALITY
General:

• Honest: Gill is honest to almost a fault. The world hasn’t been nice to him, since he has some obviously different features. But that has made him into a very honest person… If a girl asks does this make me look fat… he will answer honestly… since he had people who told him that the truth would help him in life… even if it hurt. He may fight with his conscious about it but honesty wins in the end.
  
• Unsure: On that same note. Because people have told him he is strange and he really should stop being strange… he is very unsure of himself, even when it comes to his studies. He always gets good grades but he is never 100% sure that he will get an answer right or that he knows the information being asked.
  
• Studious: Gill tends to spend most of his time studying, not as in reading books… but observing. Gill actually very much dislikes reading. When it comes to studying he studies by writing… Sure if he needs to find an answer he will crack open a book… but as soon as he finds his answer it is straight back to writing sentences.
  
• Active: On the flip side of study drone, Edax loves activity. Movement in general just makes him happy. He loves to dance, and he is very good at many types of ballroom dancing, His favorite is the tango. His most favorite sport though is swimming… While obviously cliché he loves it none the less. He enjoys running almost as much as swimming.
  
• Spiritual: This is the most interesting thing about this boy. He was brought up with a stick belief in a higher power. His father was Presbyterian which went along fine with his magical knowledge… however when Gill came into his life, he decided all things were possible. Thus he raised Gill to believe in something. Gill has somewhat settled into believing the Ancient Greek version of religion. His favorite god, and the one he prays to is Poseidon. He does pray and on the full moon he sacrifices. Nothing living of course but… if he needs to pass a test or ask for something really big he has been known to sacrifice important things.
  
• Avoids Noises: Not un-like many semi aquatic animals, Edax’s skin is semi permeable and highly susceptible to vibrations, thus he tends to get jumpy when put into situations involving loud music or lots of voices. While he doesn’t like lots of music he does like to sing. But only classical music. His voice is that of a catholic choir boy’s

Habits: His biggest and worst habit is saying yes… just to please people. He never wants to let anyone down when he is capable of doing the requested job. Even if he doesn’t quite know how he is going to accomplish a request he will try to do it anyway. It’s all about approval for him. And the friends he has he doesn’t want to lose so he will say yes to anything they ask… anything at all.
Hobbies:

swimming: while the teachers tend to frown on swimming in the lake, Gill tends to swim late at night and when they aren’t really watching… He is trying to train the giant squid… So far he hasn’t gotten eaten… so he thinks its working.

Animal Training: His father went to a muggle school to get his doctorate in Zoology and Ethnology. Gill’s Father is his idle so Gill wants to be a magical creature trainer as well… He’s getting very good at it…

Singing: He has a beautiful singing voice. He has been told it’s from his siren roots. He tends to believe them since it tends to draw people to him when he is singing.
Likes: Fish, He doesn’t eat any meat aside from fish. Swimming with friends, Friends, School, singing, Animals.
Dislikes: Reading, Any kind of meat aside from fish… Mean people, Noise, playing the trumpet

FAMILY
Mother: CoralPathfinder, Selkie, Siren, Mermaid, No schooling
Father: Dr. Angiluke Grypus, Mixed blood Wizard, Hogwarts RavenClaw

Maternal Grandmother: Halimeda, Mermaid, never went to Hogwarts as mermaids are considered lesser humanoids.
Maternal Grandfather: Clinton Seastrider, Half siren, Half Selkie, Never attended Hogwarts
Maternal Great Grandmother: Nymphidae, Siren, She never went to a magical school for general studies… however a siren’s magic is simply their voice.
Maternal Great Grandfather: Sylen, Selkie,Never went to Hogwarts as Selkies have no magic aside from their magic pelts.

Relationship with Family: He doesn’t know the maternal half of his family however was very close to his paternal grandparents until they died of natural causes. So now it’s just him and his father… and since his father is the only one who actually fully accepts him it makes him very very close to the man.

HISTORY
General History:

Sylen came to shore one stormy night. He had ridden the waves next to the boat all night long. The boat was heading for land… he was sure of it and he knew why. He could hear her calling to him. His siren was singing. When he pulled himself onto the beach he stripped from his seal skin and made his way to the cliffs. He came across her, alabaster skin glowing in the moonlight. He came upon her. Nymphidae bore a baby boy not quite a year later.

She named the baby Seastrider but he was rejected as a siren since he wasn’t pure and banished him from the sea. However when he was sent to the home of the Clintfields they wanted to support him in his uniqueness… They named him Clinton and held on to the birth name he was given. Clinton at the age of ten found himself one night out wandering the beach. A wounded seal was lying on the beach. He rushed over to see if he could help. The seal spoke to him then… telling him to take the pelt from his back to awaken the selkie blood running in his veins. Clinton did with a bit of hesitation. HE placed the pelt on and was transformed into the seal he had just slayed.

With curiosity he sank into the water. He could swim faster than ever and hold his breath longer. He rejected his life on land and lived in the sea. Many years later he was sun bathing on the beach, when a mermaid appeared out of the drift. She was hurt. He went to see if he could help. However, finding he would need his human hands, He stripped his seal pelt and nursed her back to health. He was blessed with a daughter that walked on land and swam in the sea. He gave her his seal pelt when her mother died… and thus was sentenced to a life on land.

However, Coral Pathfinder, his baby girl grew up strong and proud playing between land and sea. However, when she met Dr. Grypus, her life changed. He was digging up fossils off the coast of loch ness… where she had recently been playing; she climbed out of the water and presented herself without her pelt. They grew closer.

Angiluke fell in love with her… it was like a ship pulled to port. Like he was chasing a siren’s song. Little did he know that exactly what he was doing? They got together for the first time… and the next morning she was gone… He was left a basket 8 months later with a tiny baby inside. He named him Edax Gilligan and loved him… because he knew the baby was hers.

MISCELLANEOUS
The Sorting: “Edax Gilligan Grypus”

Gill trembled. He could feel the people around him whispering. He pulled his hat off. The hat had nicely been covering the most distinctly aquatic feature on his body. The kids staired. He lifted his chin slightly and could feel the hum of the silence it was weird how the painful vibrations of everyone’s excited chattering could be missed when the silence slid over his skin. He sat on the stool staring out at all the eyes fixed on him. The hat spoke softly. “So they let you in did they…well now to see where you will fit most comfortably?” The hat pondered. “Slytherin… no… too tough for you….” The hat thought so more… “I think… RavenClaw!”

Edax smiled. He had a house… he was part of this wonderful school… the hat hadn’t rejected him. He looked at the ravenclaw table… they were cheering? He smiled. Perfect. He ran to them and was accepted… mostly… there were some people still frowning at him. But the general feeling from his house… was happiness.

Boggart: His boggart came out as himself. To everyone it looked like he was afraid of him… But it was loneliness… Edax is terrified of being by himself. Whenever anyone says he is a freak it hits home just a little too hard because that is one person he won’t have by his side. He murmured the spell and watched as it changed into a fish on roller skates… He heard the class laugh and walked to the end of the line…

Mirror of Erised: Exactly the opposite of his Boggart… he sees himself surrounded by all sorts of people.

EXTRA CREDIT
Patronus: A Seal. For obvious reasons. However while he knows he is part Selkie he doesn’t know he can take a seal pelt and change… so he thinks about how happy he would be as a seal and then his seal patronus will emerge.

Greatest Treasure: When he gets a package in his 5th year of school his most prized position will be his mother’s seal pelt.

Manner of Dress: He wears his uniform in prim condition… unless he is off of class and then he un-tucks the undershirt. He hates the tie since it does mess with his gills.

Favorite Class: Care of magical Creatures

Worst Class: Charms

GENERAL
Name: Desmona Arienne Seton
Gender: female
Birthday: 23rd June
House: Gryffindor
Blood Status: mixed blood
Wand: 11", ebony, unicorn hair
Wand Hand: right

PERSONALITY
General:Stubborn, curious, independent and always on the lookout for a good adventure and always willing to try new things, as long as they present a chance for fun. She is not one afraid to speak her mind, though she does try to use tact… unless what is being done or said is just too stupid to ignore. Then she will snark and deride, waxing long and loudly about idiocy. Surprisingly, to some, she seems to be mild-mannered for the most part- unless she loses her temper or is overly excited about something.
Habits:
+When angry - she will turn red and cuss like a sailor.
+When excited- she bounces on her feet, or wiggles , or squeals, or any combination thereof.
+When upset- she goes still and quiet and cold
+Having spent most of her time growing up in the US, she sometimes slips and uses American slang

Hobbies: Going out of doors and exploring, spending time with animals, and staying up late at night to read comic books (her favorites are DC superhero comics, Captain America is her absolute favorite, though she also enjoys Batman, Superman, and The Avengers)
Likes: animals (of all sorts, magical and nonmagical, with the exception of bees/wasps), 'adventures', comics
Dislikes: idiocy, people taking her comics, stereotypes, bullies, tea

FAMILY
Mother: Lise Elizabeth Callahan-Seton
Father: Bryan Caleb Seton
Siblings: Justin Alexei Callahan, older half-brother
Extended Family: Grandparents from both sides, two uncles, five aunts, and a host of other relations
Relationship with Family: The family is distant, polite and correct, though not overly warm or demonstrative. The only family Dessy is really close to are her parents, whom she spends about four months of the year with, and her older half brother who raises her the rest of the time, though he is still a fairly young himself.

HISTORY
General History:
Born to minor diplomats to the US, Dessy spent a lot of time growing up in the embassy, 6 months in the embassy, six months with her brother, until she reached the age where they would have to consider her schooling. Both parents being native to the UK wanted their beloved daughter to Hogwarts, so they gave partial custody to Justin, so she would be eligible to attend. And her living arrangements changed to her spending eight months of the year with her brother and four with her parents.

She loved spending time with Justin, but was not so fond of the country where they lived. There were too many manners and rules… And she hated the daily teas. That isn't to say she wasn't thrilled with getting accepted to Hogwarts, she was pleased, she wanted to make her parents proud, but she hated where it was. She considered the US to be more her home than the UK. At least it had the Forbidden Forest and all those possible adventures….

MISCELLANEOUS
Boggart: By all accounts, Dessy was a tomboy. With all that entailed, but her one secret fear, was actually a bit of a cliché. It was also irrational. She loathed insects - particularly wasps, bees and the like- without knowing exactly why. It was rather girly, but there it was. She sees herself surrounded by a cloud of the nasty creepy things…

Mirror of Erised: A generally very content young woman, Dessy doesn't have much in her heart that she truly wishes. She has her family, she has health, and a comfortable life. So for now, the mirror is just a mirror…. Perhaps later on in life she will see something in the mirror.
