House: Ravenclaw

Wand: Apple/ Pheonix / 10 / Slightly springy

PERSONALITY
General: Vadoma is an exceptionally cheerful girl if not a wee bit on the quirky side like most Ravenclaws. Her lush Romani accent from her mother occasionally makes her hard to understand that and the fact she's attempting to learn about three languages at once and occasionally forgets which one she's speaking in. Quick to laugh at her own mistakes and even easier to smile she's usually found in the potions lab or the library researching this or that or trying out a new brew.
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 necklace or hair when bored.
Hobbies: Potion brewing, reading (Mostly books on magical creatures, herbs, and Alchemy), Writing (Is trying to invent new potions), Attempting to speak with the Merr people of the lake (Some other students have occasionally mistaken her for a drowning victim)
Likes: potions, Merr people, books, riddles, bright colors, and experimentation.
Dislikes:The giant squid (Which is a little too fond of her for her tastes), cruel jokes, her grandparents, spicy food, confined places with no readily available exit.

HISTORY
General History:
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 Vadoma 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 Vadoma 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 Vadoma had received her entrance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy. Vadoma'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 Vadoma the nicest clothing and equipment. Everything she would need and more would be given to her for her schooling and Adedius wouldn't have to worry about a thing. Like all things though it came with a catch. For the duration of her schooling Vadoma 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 Vadoma could go far they agreed and Vadoma went to live with her grandparents and was later sent off to Hogwarts.
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. However you're more meant for riddles, for asking the questions no one asks and finding the answers to things that no one else would find. I know just what to do with you "RAVENCLAW!!!!" The hat was quickly pulled off her head and Vadoma slipped off the stool padding over the the blue and bronze covered table and the other students who sat there smiling and clapping for her.
