Name: Bata Olivia Rich
Age and Year: 16, 6th year
Gender: F
House: Hufflepuff
Blood Status: Half-Blood
Family:
Olivia Rich - American - Muggle - Unmarried
Jonathan Cut - British - Pure-Blood - Slythrin - Unmarried
Siblings - None

History: Bata's mother had a one night stand when she was in England for her sister's wedding, it wasn't until she got home she found out she was pregnant. It wasn't until eleven years later she found out her daughter was a witch. Growing up, Bata always knew she was different. She could make things happen, and it scared the other kids. She often would skip school to go to the woods and make pretend positions to make the kids like her. A week before Bata's eleventh birth day, she got two leters via owl. One was from a school for wizards and witches and the other was froom a man claiming to be her father. Though Jonathan is both physically and mentally abusive, she often stays with him when there's not enough money to fly home.
Wand: Unicorn hair and white pine

Appearance:

Personality: On the front, Bata is very happy-go-lucky always grinning and laughing, but there's a hidden, more depressed side that she lets very few people see.
Patronus: Butterfly
Animagus (must be approved by a mod):
Pet: Missy, her owl
Other: Bata grew up in America with her Muggle mother until she got her letter. She still tries to visit her mom whenever she can, though money is usually an issue.

Name: Whensley Ga'trith Stolsman (Often goes by When)
Age and Year: 16, 6th
Gender: Male
House: Hufflepuff
Blood Status: Pure
Wand: 12 ½”, silver birch, unicorn hair core, unyielding
Appearance: When is tall, standing at 6’0”, and well muscled (but not in a very obvious way) from working in his family’s shop in Diagon Alley and small farm at home. He has very tan skin and sandy blond, wavy hair with a few light brown highlights. His eyes are very different from most individuals’: the irises are rimmed in light brown, but are mostly a creamy ice blue color just around the pupil, and whiter at the edges. They're lightly flecked with brown and gray (you can't see the flecks unless you're right in front of him). He has five piercings in his left ear and two in his right. He prefers to wear lighter colors, like cream and tan. He's good looking and tends to stray in and out of the crowds and social circles.
Personality: When is very much a free spirit. He can be loud, and is pretty energetic, but not in an annoying way. He can be fierce, but is very caring (despite his charisma and what some people think is arrogance but is really just confidence in him) and doesn't get angry too often. He's fairly social, loves a good joke, and comfortable around almost anyone. He's a bit of a hopeless romantic.
Patronus: Arctic fox
Animagus:
Pet: Ural owl named Enra (female) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ural_Owl
Other: Plans on working for the ministry when he’s older.

Name: Warlia Canwyn
Age and Year: 16, 6th
Gender: Female
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Mixed
Wand: 13", ginkgo, phoenix tears core, slightly yielding
Appearance: Warlia is tall, 5'9", and has slightly pale skin. She's on the thinner side; her muscles glow close to her bones and give the illusion that she's bony. She has a very light smattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose, and they're very pale as far as freckles go. Warlia has heterochromia iridum like her mother and aunt; one eye is lavender, the other is light blue ringed with darker blue around the edge of the iris. Her hair is white-blond, one shade darker than her aunt's, and reaches to the middle of her back in gentle waves. She wears clothes that have more of a patchwork look and feel to them, and wears several layers. She will wear cream a lot, but she prefers colors and patterns more. She almost always carries a drawstring bag patch-worked from various materials. She wears a sturdy white gold chain around her neck, and on it resides her mother's wedding/engagement ring; she never takes it off.
Personality: Incredibly quiet and shy, she's socially awkward and will get extremely uncomfortable in a crowd. She's never been that comfortable around people (excluding her family), and gets along with animals much better, magical or otherwise. She has a good relationship with her aunt, Professor Canwyn, who is her guardian (her parents died a year ago), and her twin sister,. She's intelligent and almost always thinking about various things. She ponders things, and asks the tough questions. She's curious, but if she's caught exploring something by someone, she backs off immediately because of her shyness. A lot of first conversations end badly for her; she usually stutters and answers vaguely, and then becomes quite a klutz when trying to escape the situation, which is almost always a harmless conversation.
Because of her personality, her fellow Slytherins alternate between shunning and tormenting her. She struggles with it sometimes, but most of the time she's able to handle it.
Patronus: Snow leopard
Animagus: White snake (registered)
Pet: Great Grey Owl named Mortimer (male) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Gr...
Other: She has slight osteogenesis imperfecta, but doesn't have all of the symptoms. Her bones fracture easily, and her spine does have a very slight curve, but her joints aren't loose and her muscle tone is normal. Her eyes don't protrude, but the sclera is slightly blue, though you have to really be looking at it to tell.


Name: Alexandria Canwyn (usually goes by Alex)
Age and Year: 16, 6th
Gender: Female
House: Gryffindor
Blood Status: Mixed
Wand: 13", redwood, dragon heartstring and scale core, unyielding
Appearance: Alex is very different in appearance compared to her twin. She’s 5’10” and has a strong, lean body. Her skin is a shade somewhere between pale and tan, closer to tan, and her muscles are more prominent as she’s often doing things outside. There’s a light smattering of freckles scattered across the bridge of her nose and her cheeks, but they're not usually very obvious unless you’re fairly close to her. Like her mother, aunt, and sister, Alex has heterochromia iridum; her left eye is a warm golden brown flecked with dark brown specks while her right eye is a somewhat vibrant, dark green flecked with an almost black shade of green. Taking after her father, her hair is a light brown with darker undertones and reaches to just above her shoulders. She wears a somewhat eclectic wardrobe, and usually is wearing several layers; she prefers to wear more earthy tones, such as brown and dark green. Alex also wears a sturdy white gold chain around her neck, and on it resides her father’s wedding ring; she never takes it off.
Personality: Alex is very much a firecracker; she’s intelligent and stubborn, and never afraid to voice her opinion. She's respectful, but sometimes questions authority, which gets her in trouble. Luckily, her twin is often there to help her out. She's energetic, witty, and tough. She's selective about who her friends are, but very loyal to her close friends and especially to her family. She can be gentle when she wants to be, but that isn't often; rarely will you see her be... well, gentle and sweet (unless you catch her comforting her sister). She can be violent if provoked (usually towards people who pick on her sister), and you do not want to see her angry. She’s never afraid to throw a punch (or spell) in defense of someone. Since her parents died a year ago she’s become more sensitive towards others (especially her sister) and to cracks made at her and Warlia.
Patronus: Sumatran tiger
Animagus: Light brown and olive green snake (registered)
Pet: Short-eared owl named Peony (female) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-ea...
Other: Unlike her twin, she does not have osteogenesis imperfecta, but does have slight scoliosis.

{Name:} Ila Cassia Prior
{Age/Year:} Fifteen, Fifth
{Gender:} Female
{House:} Ravenclaw
{Blood Status:} Muggleborn
{Wand:} Twelve and 3/4 inch maple, dragon heartstring, supple, good for Transfiguration
{Appearance:}
Ila has always been considered small for her age, despite the fact that she is taller than both her mother and older sister. She stands at about 5 feet 3 inches, and her hands and feet are delicately small. She has quite long dark brown hair that cascades down her back in waves, sun-lightened at the ends. Her eyes are what she finds to be her best feature. They are quite large and a stunning green, bright and piercing. Framed by dark, long lashes, they have delicate, dark eyebrows. Her cheeks, nose, and forehead are dotted with light freckles, and she has a mischievous smile. Ila is very thin, and lovely.
{Personality:} Ila is very intelligent, so much so that she was offered the chance to skip a year of schooling at Hogwarts. She politely declined, saying that she would rather not endure the teasing that would come with it. Ila has often been bullied because she's different. Ila is quite quirky, and making friends is definitely not her thing. She's kind, considerate, and quite caring, but these traits aren't often shared with the rest of the world.
{Patronus:} None
[Animagus:} None
{Pet:} Her munchkin cat, Isis:
{Other:}

Name: Elliot Willoughby
Age and Year: 17, 7th year
Gender: Male
House: Hufflepuff
Blood Status: Half-blood
Wand: 12 inch willow, Kelpie hair, reasonably springy, good for charms
Appearance:

Personality: Motivated by peace, Elliot will do anything to avoid confrontation. His only demands from life are the things that make him feel comfortable. That feeling fosters his need to feel good inside. He is kind, considerate, patient and accepting, devoid of ego. Good at constructing thoughts that did not exist before, just from careful listening and taking time to think things through. Doesn't commonly share what he is feeling, understanding or seeing. Somewhat self-deprecating.
Patronus: Dolphin
Animagus: nope
Pet: female Barred Owl named Io

Name: Charles Quinn
Age and Year: 17, 7th
Gender: Male
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Pureblood
Wand: 12 inch sycamore, dragon heartstring, springy
Appearance:

(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]
Personality: An introvert, Charles doesn't talk to very many people. He's been attending Hogwarts for 6 years already, and he doesn't have too many close friends. He prefers to quietly stick to his studies rather than visit Hogsmeade. It's not that he doesn't want to go, it's more the fact that he doesn't have anyone to go with and he doesn't want to go alone. If you talk to him, he'll respond, but he's not normally one to instigate a conversation.
Patronus: Raccoon
Animagus: No
Pet: Female cat, Suja

Well, considering I'm the one that posted him, I'm going to say yes.

Bata's gonna be friends with Quinn just so she can play with his cat :p

Woohoo!

Bata: She's, like, soooo radical!

I usually can only handle one without playing favorites XD

Lol I'm kinda the opposite. I love making characters.

[Name] Dana Grace Macnair

[Gender] Female

[Age] 16

[Year] 6

[Blood Status] Pureblood

[House] Hufflepuff

[Wand]

[Appearance]
Dana is a wisp of a girl, petite, underweight, and very, very thin. She has straight brown hair that falls just past her shoulders, fair skin, a rather wide mouth, and dark brown, almond shaped eyes. A few freckles are scattered across the bridge of her nose. She really is very pretty, though in a quiet, unassuming way.

[Personality] Dana has a quiet, gentle beauty to her that very few can see and appreciate. She is stronger and braver than anyone, even she herself, realizes. She's highly intelligent and driven, a thinker and a very hard worker. She's an introvert; she keeps generally to herself and isn't very expressive. She has a lot of emotional barriers and rarely let's anyone in. Her grandparents and Bata are basically the only ones she truly loves and trusts. She's kind, honest, trustworthy, and a very loyal friend. She would rather die than betray those she cares for. If need be, she wouldn't hesitate to fight for what she believes in.

[Family] Walden Macnair [father, alive, Death Eater]; Isabel Macnair [mother, deceased]; Vivian Haley [maternal grandmother and legal guardian, alive]; Perry Haley [maternal grandfather and legal guardian, alive]

[History] Dana's mother, Isabel Macnair née Haley, died of dragon pox (or at least, that's the official story) when Dana was three. Dana has very faint memories of her. Most of her childhood life was spent living with her cruel father, Walden Macnair, Death Eater. Walden, being one of Voldemort's most loyal and vicious cronies, was always abusive and violent with Dana. Dana lived in constant fear; the Macnair home, visited constantly by Voldemort and his Death Eaters, was no place for a girl her age. She has had the Cruciatus Curse used on her--sometimes by her own father--for extended periods of time, and it has damaged her in more ways than one.

When Dana was fifteen, her father was captured by the Ministry and imprisoned in Azkaban. Dana was sent to live with her maternal grandparents, who took her in and treated her with kindness and love. She's been living with them ever since, and has slowly been recovering.

[Crush/Boyfriend] Dana distrusts and dislikes the other gender, and though she hides it, she has a deep fear of all men. Of course, there are some exceptions; for instance, she is very close to her grandfather.

[Patronus] Clouded Leopard (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]

[Animagus] N/A

[Pet] Dana has a falcon named Huntress.


[Other]
- Her best friend is Bata Rich.
- As a result of having the Cruciatus Curse performed on her for extended periods of time at a young age, she sometimes has spells of dizziness, nausea, pain, and hammering headaches. Sometimes the 'attack' is so minor that its only a slight discomfort, while other times she is temporarily incapacitated until the attack passes. Being a powerful witch, she tends to leak destructive magic if she loses control. Though the attacks often come without warning and reason, certain things can trigger it as well. This is a big reason why she keeps to herself so much. No one at Hogwarts except the staff and Bata know about it, though there are quite a few weird rumors about her, leading to some people avoiding her.

Dana and Huntress, all that's needed is a "Barbara" or "Oracle" and you have all the Birds of Prey in one character.

Dana is a type of bird? o.o

Finished Dana's profile!

The only problem I have with it is the Parseltongue thing. Because, technically, 1, nearly all of the Parselmouths are descended from Salazar Slytherin, 2, it's almost always the mark of a dark wizard, and 3, it's almost always hereditary.....Plus, it's very VERY uncommon. I only know of 10 Parselmouths in total.......

Ѧℓ℘♄α (ᴀsᴍᴀᴀ) wrote: "Dana is a type of bird? o.o"

Dinah (pronounced Dana) Lance (Black Canary), Helena Kile/Wayne (Huntress), and Barbara "Babs" Gordon (Batgirl I/Oracle) are three superpowered women who are the original members of the Birds of Prey (one of the only all woman superpower groups.

I did not know that XD

Eh, I'll just take it out, it wasn't an important part of her character.

Ѧℓ℘♄α (ᴀsᴍᴀᴀ) wrote: "I did not know that XD"

Which actually makes it more funny on my part XD

Lol :P

Hey, Asmaa, I was wondering if it would be okay for my character When to crush on Dana.

Sure! But just so you know beforehand, she's automatically distrusts males, so he'd have a hard time winning her over. Would be cute to see, though XD

I think he's up to the challenge. :) He's a good guy. Thanks!

Okay then! Thank you! What're we doing with them, though? Should they know each other, at least in passing? Dana doesn't have a lot of friends, probably Bata's her only close friend. But acquaintances, maybe?

What's Dana's blood status? I didn't see it

Lissy ~Heart of Glass~ wrote: "What's Dana's blood status? I didn't see it"

Oops, lemme add that...

So, yeah, she's pureblood.

That would work. Maybe he's said hi to her before and they have a few classes together.

I'm 95% sure that everyone's made their characters 6th years

Not everyone. But most people, yeah.

I think I'm going to change When's house to Hufflepuff....

Kind of a chain reaction, I think XD

Up to you, Poet!

Yep, sounds good!

Okay, cool. :)
