But I mostly go by Elsie.
I'm a girl.
I'm 18 years old.
This is my GRADUATED year here at Hogwarts.
My birthday is April 13th, 2012.
My dream job is anything that involves learning.
My blood status is pureblood.
The house I'm in is Hufflepuff.
I'm interested in boys.
I'm currently with Dave Shoichet.
People say that, in a nutshell, I'm cheerful, intelligent, obedient, naive, and innocent. I have a happy go lucky personality and am generally optimistic. I'm a good deal less reserved than my older sister, Newlyn. I am extremely smart for my age and very curious. I am also very naive. I like to see the good in everyone, but that often blinds me to the bad. Newlyn calls me "dangerously idealistic". I am obedient. I do whatever people tell me to do, and I hate to cause trouble. I used to think that my father still loved me, but I'm not so sure anymore... In some ways I am very mature and serious, and in other ways I'm incredibly lighthearted and silly.
My background story is my mother was killed by a werewolf when I was only two. I was born and raised in Upper Barnton with my father, Mitchell, and my older sister, Newlyn, who's sixteen, and my younger sister Morven, who's ten. I barely remember my mother, and my older sister Newlyn has always been like a mother to me. She's actually been like a father too, since my father doesn't really act like one. He feeds and clothes us, and that's about it. No hugs, or bedtime stories,or family outings. Newlyn hates him,and Morven pretends he's not alive, but I secretly hope that he still loves us, because I love him, no matter how much he acts like we don't exist. I can't wait until I can go to Hogwarts. Home isn't exactly a happy place. I guess I'll miss Morven, though. But not too much.
My first year was good! I made a bunch of friends, like Tanya, Echo, Kas, and Leo, Newlyn's best friend Chloe's cousin! But some bad stuff happened to.. they found a boy in the Dungeons...apparently he was murdered... That's awful. I hope they find whoever did it. And at the Fall Festival, some vampires attacked. I got thrown into a tree and hurt, but Kas and I made a run for it when the good vampires, I guess that's what they are, showed up to fight the bad ones. I was really worried about Newlyn and Morven, but they were okay. Other than that, I had a lot of fun this year. I really like going to classes and learning actual spells. I feel like I belong.
Second year I tried out for Quidditch and made it! The team had some losses, well, a lot of losses... but we stuck through it together. I'm reserve chaser, and it's so much fun! Next year Morven will be in school, and it'll probably be awful. She's getting worse by the day, I swear. It's like she lives to make me miserable. I can't let her bring me down, though. Newlyn says I should turn the other cheek and ignore her. It's hard, okay? I'm just mostly excited about electives next year. Ooh, and getting Echo and Kas together... hee.
Third year was miserable. Well, some parts were okay, like being an official chaser and all the brilliant electives. But as it turns out, Newlyn and Morven were hiding a secret from me all year. And not a good one. Morven is a werewolf. She got bit and they didn't even tell me. How stupid do they think I am? Am I really the 'weak link' of the family or something? I refuse to talk to Morven now and Newlyn and I are on shaky ground. I just feel so... betrayed. Evidently no one thinks I can handle anything serious.
I made a massive mistake this summer. I... accidentally told Mitchell. Well, not exactly accidentally. I knew what I was saying... I just said it anyways. He tried to kill Morven, and Newlyn tried to stop him, and I ran to get help. I found Miles and he went to help while I sent an owl to some man named Jason... is he a werewolf too? When I finally came back, Mitchell was dead. Morven punched me, and I know she hates me now. She really does. We're moving, though. Maybe things will be better... somewhere else. But I doubt it.
We moved to Tinworth, by the sea. I spent all summer in the ocean. Newlyn joked that she thought I was planning on becoming a mermaid, or a selkie. I wish.
My fourth year was subdued. Kas is dying, my younger sister thinks I'm worse than dragon pox, and somehow I managed to get myself roped into tutoring David Shoichet. Or, I call him Dave, anyways. He admitted he never really liked his full name anyways. He's not that bad, now that he's warmed up to me a bit and opened his bloody ears. I also was chosen to become a Chimera? Which is like a guard of the school? In training? It sounds dangerous, and foolish, and I honestly don't care, as long as it helps people.
I did write Dave over the summer a few times. He took forever to reply, but he did reply, so maybe we're friends now. And I think Newlyn and Miles might be a thing. Good for them, I say. If they marry I'll finally have a brother.
Fifth year went alright. I spent much more time studying than I ever planned, and I spent a bit of time with Dave when Tanya and Echo were being all... coupley. Not that they aren't adorable. I was made a prefect this year, and vice captain of the quidditch team. I'm not sure I deserve all of this responsibility. I'm terrified of letting people down. Dave and I went to the Yule Ball. As friends. And it was nice. I taught him how to dance a bit. I know he wants to be more than friends, but I... I'm not sure. I care about him, and I want him to do well in life, and to be happy, because he rarely seems really happy, but I don't feel ready for a boyfriend. I don't feel ready for anything. Maybe I'll never feel ready.
The summer before sixth year Dave spent most of the summer with us in Tinworth. Morven hated it. I quite enjoyed it. I even taught him how to swim.
Sixth year was... good. The only thing of note that really happened was that Tanya's mother got married to Mr. Whitethorne over the holidays, and we all went to the wedding. And... Dave and I got together, as in I asked him out. It didn't go exactly as I'd planned, but with Dave, things never do. We're taking things- not slow, exactly, but we're just... Trying to have fun and enjoy ourselves. I have no idea how long this will last. We might hate each other by graduation next year. I'd like for it to last a long time, though. I've never felt like this about anyone in my life. I just hope it's... the same for him.
My seventh year was spent with Dave and preparing for NEWTs. I did really well, I think, so I'm happy about that. I'm not sure what I want to do after I graduate. I'd love to be a professor someday, but I'm too young to apply for any teaching position right now. I'll have to get a job, though. I'm just not sure what... Maybe working in a shop? It could be good work experience. And Dave and I have been bickering more often lately... we're just very different, and it's hard sometimes. Hogsmeade was attacked when we were leaving for the final time. Dave and I apparated out with Morven before anything could happen to us, but I feel horrible about just leaving and not coming back to help people. I know it was important to look out for Morven, but... I feel like dirt.
I enjoy reading, learning new things, being with my sisters, hearing stories about Hogwarts, and meeting new people.
I despise boring things, bullies, messes, arguing, and awkward silences.
I'm afraid of dying. I don't want to die young.
My strengths are being quick thinking and cheering people up.
My flaws are I'm easily distracted, though when I do focus I can accomplish anything. I'm also too naive.
I look like this
My wand is a ash wood, ten and 1/2 inches, unicorn hair core, spiral decorated shaft, swishy.
My pet is a cat named Rollo.

Oh yes, there's something else I need to tell you!
I argue a lot with my sister Morven. We tend to rub each other the wrong way.
