            ◊ PROTECTIVE Shazzi as the oldest of the Rowntree children has always felt responsible for the brood and as such appointed herself as not only their guides but protector. No matter who or what happened, she would always be available to help or get even.
            ◊ OBSERVANT After looking after a younger sibling for so many many years, she’s become very good at seeing the smallest of details or even predicting what could or should happen. It’s helped on the farm with the animals, in her classes and dueling at school, and most definitely out in her job.
            ◊ PRACTICAL Shazzi believed that everything and every person had a person and while she may not completely understand that purpose, it’s not on to her to force that understanding. It’s helped her to stay rational in situations that required it.
            ◊ OPINIONATED Shazzi also has the unfortunate belief that while every person and every thing has a purpose and it’s not up for her understanding, that it’s also usually not everyones business. She’s had countless detentions and write ups about the technicalities of things that usually were decided by a spell or a fist.
            ◊ SUBJECTIVE Her unique upbringing has brought about a different way for her to see and experience life and its predictability. Or rather, it’s unpredictability. It allows her to be able to empathize and even have a mild intuition regarding her surroundings and people.
            ◊ SECURE Shazzi knows exactly who she is and who she isn’t and won’t allow anyone to even attempt to sway her from her ideals. It’s not all looks and beauty, it's about her own inner self, and her inner self is pretty damn cool if she did say so herself.

            CHILDHOOD Shazia is the first born of her parents A’isha and Kaylan Rowntree as well as the first born grandchild of both sets of grandparents. All to say that with all the spoils came the responsibility. Only a few years later her first brother was born and soon after her second brother and then after that her cousin, and on and on it went. Not to say she doesn’t love them all-she truly does-she’s also just very grateful they were raised on a rather large amount of land or else she feared she wouldn’t have kept her sanity before school. As the oldest, she was encouraged to learn every bit of the farm's maintenance; so alongisde her usual chores of feeding and cleaning up after the animals, she was also shown how to go over documents and records. Occasionally, Shazzi also went to her Aunt's farm to help in the horticulture, though this was short lived as it was obvious she did not possess a green or even a brown thumb. As she got older, the sparkle of learning everything started to dim and she felt more over burdened than anything before she finally made her "escape" to school.

            SCHOOL YEARS
                Shazzi was accepted into Hogwarts, the first on her mother’s side (and her father’s as well technically) and while she was given the option of attending her mother’s alma mater, she wanted to make her own footsteps. So she went off to Scotland and was soon sorted into Slytherin and was surrounded by children of nearly every background she could think of. Most of the time it was great; she joined a multitude of clubs and made friends in between her studies. The only not great times happened because some people couldn’t leave well enough alone unless there was a wand or a knee shoved up their chins. She’d gotten many a talking to and the occasional annoyed grunts of her housemates who swore she was just a Gryffindor wearing snake colors. None of this really bothered Shazzi, truthfully she just found it funny and tended to lean more into the stereotype for a while before she realized she had nothing to prove to anyone but herself. Over the years while she was at school, she was gifted two new siblings, a sister and brother. She’d been a tad worried about how her brothers were handling things in her stead (and if the youngers really even knew or liked her) but each break her fears were assuaged by their smiles and hugs. And their tattling.

        POST GRADUATION Shazzi graduated with a grand total of 14 NEWT’s and steel spine as she marched to her parents and grandparents to tell them that she didn’t want to work full time at the farm but instead train to be a world class dueler. Or auror. Whichever sent a letter back sooner. Her parents she hadn’t been too worried about; they were of course anxious about her choice of career but ultimately agreed that it was her life and they would support her. Her grandparents…not so much. She detests yelling or even raising her voice but she’d had to do both before storming from the lot and leaving for a friend’s home for the next two weeks. Mainly just enough time for her to find her own small flat and move all her necessary things from the family home. Again, her parents were sad but understood why she felt the need to do it while her grandparents were still yelling about her disobedience. Thus with the arrival of her letter and Shazzi’s start of auror training, the silent treatment turned into a cold war that spanned almost two years. It was only thawed by the discovery of her youngest brother’s bullying (from which she’d had to hear it nearly third-third!-hand) and began coming back to the farm allot more to spend time with him and ultimately the rest of the family. It only took a few months after that for Benjamin and Surani to come by her flat with a peace offering and the promise to sit and actually listen. It was a very long and emotional conversation but thankfully by the end, they’d reached an understanding. Shazzi didn’t forgive them right then and there of course, but she didn’t ice them out the way she had before and sooner rather than later, things reached a new normal. Perhaps it was helped by the fact that her brothers went to work for the family farm after their graduations (which Shazzi dearly hoped wasn’t because of her own tiff with the grandparents) but everyone reached an “agree to disagree” standpoint which is exactly what she wanted. Currently however, she’s been thinking maybe she should’ve pushed more as they’ve began asking her very invasive questions about her dating life.

            ◊ SOCIABLE Han enjoys talking to people and getting to know them and making connections. It’s why he was approached to help tutor the younger students in school and why he was tasked with being one of the faces of the business. He likes people!
            ◊ TRANSPARENT He can’t really find it within himself to be duplicitous or hide his true words or feelings. Not only is it hard work, it usually just ends up being messy and will probably make things worse in the long run. While sure it can make things harder when it comes to sensitive information, he just feels it’s always best to be as truthful as he can.
            ◊ IMPULSIVE Han can sometimes leap before he looks, especially in regards to his family and close friends and it usually never falls within his favor. He always says he’ll do or be better the next time but when the time comes, he’s already two feet first with his apology note drafted.
            ◊ OBEDIENT Despite his sometimes rash behavior, he tries to placate it by being a dutiful son, grandson, brother, even cousin. If he’s given a directive, he’ll do his best to complete it and if there are a set of rules laid out for him, he’s generally one to follow them. Generally.
            ◊ COMPASSIONATE To go alongside his sociable personality, he feels great empathy for his fellow man. Han is always willing to help with whatever needs it or lend whatever he can in aide, even occasionally to his own detriment.
            ◊ SELF-CRITICAL Han can’t help but sometimes compare his own shortcomings to the successes of others, especially concerning his older sister and other year mates. He’s always feeling as though he’s not doing his exact best or that he should be doing more which can lead to him taking on more than he should or impulsively saying yes to things he knows he shouldn’t.

            CHILDHOOD Haniya was the firstborn son but second born child to his parents and grandparents alike. While Shazzi was expected to lead and teach, he was not only expected to follow but also to emulate for his younger siblings and cousins. It only got worse when his brother Solomon was born barely 10 months after his own birth. Suddenly, he was placed in the middle of metaphorical measuring tools: how well he could catch up to his sister but also how he could inspire his brother. While it was sometimes staggering, he made the best of it, even after his younger cousins and then siblings were born and more and more pressure was added. Pressure made diamonds all the time after all, it was all going to be fine!

            SCHOOL YEARS
                Han went to Hogwarts only three years after Shazzi started and was soon sorted into Gryffindor, the house of bravery and foolhardiness which he certainly had in spades. His sister was happy enough to show him around and let him get a solid footing while also having his back when people would try and take advantage of him. However, she couldn’t be with him every minute of the day and well, they were his friends! He joined Quidditch mostly because he felt bad how everyone avoided trying out and actually made it on the team as a reserve player. He’d only ever played one or two games, but the camaraderie was exciting. It helped him get out of his shell more, joining clubs, and discovering a love and talent for art, specifically watercolor painting. Unfortunately, all good things had to come to an end and sooner rather than later, he was graduating and off into adulthood.

            POST GRADUATION Han was luckily in school for most of the fallout between Shazzi and his grandparents but he still somehow felt responsible to help soothe everyone’s frayed edges. He made sure to help more around the farm in all areas, including in the actual office which was usually a chore to his siblings. It was there his sociable ways was used to bring in more employees as well as help develop better hiring practces for the offices. It wasn’t his favorite thing in the world, but he could see how much happier his father and grandmother were not having to deal with it, so it was all for a good cause. Before he had realized it, he’d been named head of the HR department and began sitting in on very important meetings. He’s still not quite sure how it all happened but he's being helpful; Shazzi can be an auror with no guilt, his parents and aunt don’t have to worry about the lack of employees and his grandparents always look like they’re so proud of him. It wasn’t his first choice, not by a long shot, but it’s something. Plus, he still paints on the weekends! (whenhesnotworkingthatis)

            ◊ IMPATIENT Solomon cannot stand beating around the bush or putting off things for another day. If it can be done or said that day, why not? This does occasionally backfire but he’d rather be too busy then sitting around anxious for tomorrow because of things that would’ve already been done.
            ◊ GENUINE Lying and deception is way too much energy, just being truthful is easier and can save time. People always know what they’re getting with Solomon and he’s not one to mince words, even to those he cares about. Usually, especially to those he cares about.
            ◊ CONSERVATIVE Solomon tends to keep things close and isn’t one to give parts of himself away without many trials. While he can be friendly and helpful to others, he will very rarely tell important (or what he thinks is important) details relating to himself. It nearly took his best friend two years before they realized he had siblings, who were at the school!
            ◊ SOFT Despite his apparent cold exterior, he’s actually very sensitive and willing to help others. Of all the Rowntree siblings, he was the one who came home with the most injured animals and also the first to cry if they killed an insect. Especially if that insect could’ve been taken outside. This makes him the ideal person for working with the pregnant cows and ewes but also the calves and lambs.
            ◊ PREDICTABLE Solomon likes having a set schedule and most people around him can nearly set their watches by his behavior and tasks. Having a schedule lets him know how many things he can get done in a day as well as allows him to put time in for the things he enjoys. If he gets thrown off, he’s easily irritated and a grouch until he can get back into things.
            ◊ SAGE Despite being the middle child, Solomon somehow became the one all the siblings (and even some cousins) came to for advice or help. He supposes it’s because he won’t lie to spare feelings or maybe because all they really need is someone to listen but he doesn’t mind. He’ll listen and give the best advice (he thinks) he can to anyone who asks.

            CHILDHOOD Solomon is the third born middle child of the main Rowntree branch (ha) and his cousins as well a mere ten or so months after his older brother making them closer to Irish twins. Like his siblings, he spent most of his childhood working the farmland, mainly the animals as it became very apparent early on that he did not have a living touch when it came to plants. He rotated amongst the animals but he had a special connection with the sheep and cattle. They didn’t have huge herds of them so it was easier for him to become close to the individual animals and care for the pregnant ones. When he was younger he’d even entertained becoming a veterinarian to care for them but unfortunately that would also have to include the horses and pigs and he wasn’t going near those things with a fifty foot pole. Especially after he was nearly trampled by one of them. Twice! When his youngest brother eventually came and started helping, he was all too happy to give control of them over to Addy, who luckily seemed to have a similar gift with them.

            SCHOOL YEARS
                Solomon followed his two siblings to Hogwarts and was sorted into Ravenclaw, now officially setting a Rowntree in nearly every house. He wasn’t quite as sociable as his two older siblings and was pretty happy sitting in the Ravenclaw tower or library hiding away with his homework and books. This lasted him maybe a few months before his siblings began dragging him out to meet others to which he begrudgingly did. He joined a few clubs and uncharacteristically enjoyed the two more active ones-including Fite club which he’d only applied to due to his oldest sister. He quite liked learning kickboxing and took to practicing with Shazzi both at school and at home. Solomon gained a bit of a reputation for his colder exterior harboring a warm gooey center (not his words but he couldn’t exactly argue against it unfortunately) and slowly his friend circle grew until he was content with the ones who stuck around for him and him alone. When electives came around, he signed up for Care of Magical Creatures going along with his veterinary dreams but also Wizard Law due to the fact he was curious about all the big words that his grandparents threw around at his parents and aunt. While he definitely enjoyed CoMC, the law class was where he truly found his passion. His family was stunned since it was clear he detested arguing for argument's sake and was usually the first to call a process “tedious and unnecessary,” but what could he say? Something spoke to him. He took the NEWT’s to both classes and passed in both but he decided to keep the veterinary dreams on backlog for the moment.

            POST GRADUATION After graduation, Solomon followed a similar trek as his sister Shazzi in that he didn’t immediately go back to work at the farm. He spent the next three and a half years studying and being an associate under a larger firm in London. It also allowed him to take online courses towards also becoming a barrister so he could have both fronts taken care of if and when he did decide to return to the farm. He couldn’t lie, he did enjoy some of the relief of not having his grandparent’s breathing down his neck but he also hated that he was putting his parents and brother right into their eyesights. So before his fourth summer, Solomon returned back to the farm but he made sure to tell them it was on a part-time basis as he wanted to pass his barrister exams before agreeing to anything serious and that he would set his own labor hours. The discussion hadn’t been as grueling or hard hitting as he’d heard his sister’s had been, but it was enough to get his points across and his demands met. He’s really hoping that all of this would be enough to maybe inspire his younger siblings and even hopefully his older brother.

            ◊ BRIGHT Preeti has always been a smiley and precocious young child and it only grew as she got older. Her family swore her presence could brighten any day and she knew first hand how many books she could put away in a single sitting if she truly tried
            ◊ REFLECTIVE Preeti could be designated with keeping her head in the clouds and feet on the ground. While she tends to keep closer to practicality, she always sandwiched it in between sometimes unbearable positivity.
            ◊ STUBBORN Preeti can at times be a force to be reckoned with, especially with her siblings and cousins. Especially especially with those older than her. If there was something she wanted to learn or do, she dug her heels in and got to work. Alternatively, if there was something she was told she couldn’t do without good enough reason, it most assuredly got done.
            ◊ PARANOID Sometimes Preeti’s mind can play harsh tricks on her making her believe that everything she does or says is wrong. It can cause her to clamming up for days on end to avoid making “mistakes” or even just hiding herself away entirely. She’s been working on it by talking to her siblings and parents and while it helps, some days it’s all she can think of.
            ◊ OBSERVANT Preeti has always prided herself on seeing the things everyone doesn’t or just doesn’t appreciate. It’s what made her the go-to mechanic regarding allot of the tools and machinery on the farm, as well as what’s helped her cultivate all the plants she’s ever grown.
            ◊ PERSUASIVE Going alongside her more stubborn nature, as the youngest daughter and granddaughter, she’s gotten pretty good at swaying family members onto her side of things. Or convincing friends that yes they need to study before they can attempt the possibly dangerous spell they just found. Or that her brothers need to take a break every once in a full moon.

            CHILDHOOD Preeti is the youngest daughter and granddaughter of the Rowntree clan and has used this to her advantage a time or two. It also meant she had a variety of hand me downs to go through at a given notice. She spent her younger years following everyone around and trying to find her niche in the family flow. She found it in the plant nursery with her Aunt Aasha tending to the multiple rows of berries and even the small grove of bees. Preeti was one of the few who didn’t mind tending to the bee enclosure and never feared them even after getting stung. When the last child was born, she took it on herself to be Addy’s guide and protector much like the older children had done for her. Though they weren’t too close in age, they were close in that everyone else was already far older than them and most of the time, all they had were each other. At least until she too left for school.

            SCHOOL YEARS
                Preeti ended up following Solomon into Ravenclaw thus becoming the first Rowntree “repeat.” She didn’t mind it though and quite enjoyed the atmosphere of tower and its inhabitants. Unfortunately though, she fell into a familiar trap of some members and attempted to be the best of the best and nearly burned herself out by the end of her second year. It was then she finally broke down to her siblings and then later her parents about the incessant backtalk she imagined she heard or whispers she swore followed her constantly. She was placed with a mind healer and while talking did help, the feelings never truly went away. It was a start, but what truly started helping was being part of all the different extracurriculars. It was hard to imagine hearing things when she was dead tired after all. Probably not the healthiest she would admit but it helped where it could. Preeti would keep in contact with Addy while she was away and was the person he eventually confided in regarding the bullying happening at school. It was both lucky and unlucky that all her siblings had just graduated when she alerted them so she wouldn’t have to be there for the confrontation, but it also meant they were all available to add in their unnecessary three pence. Poor kid. Preeti did her best to be there for him when Addy finally did arrive since he would essentially be alone after she graduated, but for all his laissez faire ways, she had faith he’d be ok. And if he wasn’t, she had a list of spells she could teach him.

            POST GRADUATION Graduation came far too soon for Preeti and suddenly she was back on the farm with very little idea of what she actually wanted. She didn’t mind helping in the nursery or fixing a piece of machinery here or there, but she had this gut feeling that it wasn’t what she really wanted. She’s been contemplating a way of explaining to her grandparents (she knew her parents wouldn’t mind, they’d just want her to be happy) but she knew it wouldn’t fly over well without a plan.

            ◊ RELIABLE If you give Addy a task of any sort, you’ll know with no doubt whatsoever that he’ll accomplish it. And he’s not just limited to tasks; as long as he’s given the who/what/when’s, he’ll be sure to be there or do that.
            ◊ SIMPLE Addy doesn’t really care beyond the present and even then just barely. It doesn’t take very much to make him happy or content, though admittedly it also means he usually takes things people say at face value.
            ◊ APPRECIATIVE Alongside his simplicity, Add can see the beauty in nearly any and everything. Among his favorites are breezes in the field, patches of clover, and the absolute best naps.
            ◊ PATIENT Addy sees no point in rushing or pushing himself more than he truly needs to. No matter what as long as you’re going somewhere you’ll get there eventually, so why dirty yourself up by trying to get there fast? Who are you really beating?? Yourself?? Weird.
            ◊ PERSUASIVE Just because he’s patient however, doesn’t mean that on occasion, Addy can’t talk a certain situation into his favor. His gentle and simplistic ways usually work in getting the animals to do what he needs, why shouldn’t the same work for people?
            ◊ APATHETIC Truthfully though, as long as everything is ok with him, Addy sees no reason to change…anything really. He likes his life as it is, and he feels he’s gotten a good grasp of it. Why fix what’s not broken?

            CHILDHOOD Adlai was actually born Ada, the last of five children to a farming family. His mother immigrated from Nigeria when she was a teen and worked at a market while going to school. This is where she met his English father who came from a long line of farmers and who also sold stock at the same market. While she liked him, she was afraid he only liked her as a commodity so she remained aloof to his obvious affections. Which was easy when she was away at school and could focus on magic rather than how his eyes reminded her of the freshed honey. Kaylan eventually won her over (how was apparently a stuff of legend who’s story kept changing depending on which adult you asked) but suffice, A’isha said yes and moved with him to a healthy stretch of land and began the start of their plentiful family. Ada didn’t feel different immediately, afterall their older sisters got dirty working the same jobs as the brothers and all toys eventually got shared with one another so it wasn’t glaringly obvious. At least until she was five and very politely told her father that she was tired of waiting for her p***s to grow. After that, Ada was soon Adlai and life continued on the farm, just with more medicines and doctor visits than before. It was discovered by his second oldest brother Haniya that he had a certain way with the more unruly of the animals, namely the sheep and pigs, so that became his solo job to the relief of the others. Honestly he very much didn’t mind. Sure the sheep could sometimes be annoying, especially when they kept trying to amble away after he had very clearly told them not to, but by far his favorites were the pigs. Those large, loud, squeaky things, God he loved them. They were the only animals he actually cried whenever it was time to sell or slaughter, to the point where he can’t even eat pork. As expected, his schooling letter arrived just as all his siblings had and he was whisked away by his mother to gather his supplies to start at Hogwarts. A’isha was saddened none of her children got to experience her own alma mater, but she supposed it was much easier to see her children, which was a definite plus. Addy is excited to learn magic, though a bit saddened and apprehensive to leave his farm. What if none of his siblings played the right flute songs for his babies!?

            SCHOOL YEARS
                ◊ FIRST YEAR Addy's first year at school was both intimidating and also not quite as bad as he'd been expecting. There was so many spots he could nap in! And there was a whole club dedicated to being outside and just breathing, it was awesome! He was a bit sad though that it was his sister's last year so he wouldn't see her at school anymore but she'd tried to have time for him in between her studying and showed him all sorts of neat places. She'd also kept throwing him at clubs and people to "be more social." Ugh. Sisters.
