Profile: Elliot Rhymeless
Appearance: See avi. Replace blue hair with black (and a few streaks of dark brown), and replace clothes with Hogwarts uniform. There ya go. ^^
House: Ravenclaw
Year: 5th
Background: Six years before he became a Dream Chaser, and embarked on a journey to help revive his withering home planet of Filgaia, Elliot Rhymeless was merely a fifteen year-old apprentice druid in Baskar Village. The people there lived in a close and understanding relationship with nature, and were one of the few remaining cultures on Filgaia who maintained a spiritual connection with the Guardians, the elemental gods who maintained the balance of magic and life in the world. As part of his training as a druid, in early Autumn he was sent to a city called the Sielje Region, home to an academy devoted to both magical and scientific studies. Six months after arriving there, Elliot volunteered to help test a new kind of Teleportation Gem, but an unforseen miscalibration sent him careening through the barriers separating realities. By some fortunate chance, though, Elliot found himself in a lab room at Hogwarts, where similar experiments were being conducted. Once the school's staff and student body had enough time to question his origins to their content, and Elliot had some time to get over his amazement at being in an entirely different world, several staff members and students decided to generously pool some resources so that Elliot could continue to live and study at Hogwarts until a way was found to return him to Filgaia.
Personality: Although he's often shy and withdrawn around strangers, and lacking a bit in self-confidence, Elliot remains a kind-hearted and respectful person. By nature he's not very quick to anger, though he can become defensive and somewhat fierce if backed into a corner and provoked enough. Usually the only times when Elliot shows any noticeable amount of boldness and determination is when something has caught his interest or curiosity, or when he finds himself in any kinds of places determined to be "secret" or "forbidden". And even though he's adapted to life at Hogwarts rather quickly, and has been able to find a happy medium between the different ways magic works in both worlds, there is a bit of sadness that follows him around, brought on by the knowledge that he shouldn't stay in this world any longer than necessary, because he doesn't really belong here.
Friends and Enemies: Elliot's shyness, combined with his otherworldly origins, have made it somewhat difficult for him to form lasting friendships, and on several occasions he has had to endure the verbal abuse of the less sympathetic and caring students at Hogwarts. He has found a welcome friend in fellow housemate, Robin Sena, though, who has also had to deal with some of the negativity directed at her for her own past and personality. They spend a good deal of time studying or talking, enough so that some students think they're a couple, but both insist they're just friends when directly asked. Elliot does, however, have a significant crush on Ginny Weasley, but he would never actually try approaching her or asking her out, because he's convinced she'd refuse... and he knows that even if she did return his feelings, any relationship between them would be cut short as soon as the time came for him to return to Filgaia. That aside, the professors have had no real reason to complain about Elliot yet, for he has been an studious and undisruptive student. But there have been a few times when he's been caught walking through the castle by himself during lights-out, but he doesn't really get in trouble for it, as he professes that he likes to walk around in quiet places at night when he can't sleep.
Though Elliot does know a little about Harry, Ron, Hermione, and their exploits, and they know about him, for the most part they remain polite aquaintances.
Talents: Thanks to his druidic training, Elliot is able to mentally communicate with plants and animals through focused concentration, instead of using a wand. One particularly famous display of this ability was when he managed to prevent the Whomping Willow from attacking him, and ever since then Elliot's been one of the few things that the tree will not harm.
Elliot is also rather competent at using staves in physical combat, but practices at it only rarely and in total seclusion, because he doesn't want to "show off" the skill.

Profile: Robin Sena
Appearance:
House: Ravenclaw
Year: 7th
Background: Right up until the age of 15, Robin Sena had been living the life of an oblivious victim. She had grown up being deceived and manipulated into hunting down "dangerous" witches and magic-users by a secretive group of Extremist-Christian Muggles known as Solomon, who for many centuries had taken it upon themselves to "purify" humanity of witches. Not long after discovering the truth of what she'd been doing, and after fending off attacks from other witches who'd been brainwashed by Solomon, Robin escaped into the relative safety of proper magic-using society with the help of some other hunters who'd rebelled against Solomon when they too learned the truth. As her friends slowly began to gather resources in order to one day shut down Solomon for good, Robin's story had caused a sensation among the magic-using community. Thanks to their covert assistance, Solomon was quietly stripped of its power and absorbed into the Catholic church, leaving the other brainwashed hunters free to start their lives over in the way they should have been able to. Due to Robin's age, celebrity, and resources, she was allowed to enroll in Hogwarts at 16 so that she could catch up on how to live as a true witch. Now, it's a year later, and on the verge of graduating Robin is still rather overwhelmed by all the possibilities in life that lay ahead of her.
Personality: Robin's past has hardened her considerably, almost to the point where she can seem to be distant, cynical, and somewhat unfeeling on the exterior, but in truth she's usually gentle, compassionate, and polite. However, she can be a little stubborn and rebellious when confronted or told "no" in certain situations, and can perfectly balance concerned nervousness and measured callousness when her life or the lives of those she cares about are in danger. The fact that in the past she's had to kill other magic-users (both under orders and in self-defense) still weighs heavy on her mind, though, so she hasn't quite forgiven herself for what she's done, which contributes to her appearing to be mostly silent and aloof.
Friends and Enemies: While stories of her past and her abilities have led many magic-users to be caring, respectful, and sympathetic toward Robin, just as many regard her with fear, hatred, or envy for the same reason. As such, there are those in Hogwarts who like and support her, and there are some who'd be happier if she wasn't around, one way or another. Regardless, Robin has proven to be a typical student, enthusiastically working on the subjects she likes, while silently protesting work concerning the subjects she finds difficult or boring. So far, the only people Robin feels she can call friends are some of the reformed hunters from Solomon (who are now trying to live their lives elsewhere in the world), and a few of her housemates in Ravenclaw. Out of her housemates, she considers Elliot Rhymeless to be her closest friend, because he was the only one who didn't know about her past before coming to Hogwarts, and the common qualities between them let her trust him enough to tell her story from her own perspective. Afterwards, Elliot insisted that even if he had heard her story from someone who hated her, he would've been her friend anyway.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione are of much the same opinion as Elliot, though because of Robin's station as a 7th year, they tend to approach and talk to her only when school courtesy allows it. Apart from that, they too remain mere aquaintances.
Talents: Though she would never claim it to be true, and the rumors about it are widespread, Robin is one of the world's leading masters of flame evocation/conjuration and pyrokinesis. She is able to use her abilities in a variety of ways, but instead of using a wand she wears a pair of glasses in order to properly focus them. Only her ex-hunter friends have seen the full strength of her powers, though, because currently Robin strictly keeps them in check as much as she can. For the time being, she has only been seen using her ability for mundane tasks like lighting candles and stoves.
Due to her taining at Solomon, Robin is also very skilled at reading and interpreting runic symbols and material components for spells, and can disrupt or break through some enchantments, magical wards, and offensive spells to a certain degree.
