Caelum is generally a quiet boy, quiet and the type to keep to himself. Many don’t recognize him until they hear his name. He’s the quiet Slytherin, generally because he’s doing schoolwork of some sort. Caelum is very intelligent, and if you need the answers, he’ll give them to you - for a price. There’s a price for everything, after all. He’s daring and prefers to make his own rules instead of following someone else’s. Rules are dumb anyway, in his opinion. He fiercely loyal to his family, and will protect his younger siblings with his life. He wants the best for his siblings, and will do anything to get them what they want — legal or not.

│►͏bio

Caelum is the firstborn child of the Sinistra family, a large and powerful Pureblood family. As a member of such a large (and rich) family, he was afforded privileges other children weren’t. He was given the best, and that was just the way it was. He was quickly followed with many younger siblings, finally ending with Cassiopeia, who was nearly seven years younger. The Sinistra siblings were very close, and still are, sticking close together. Caelum is fiercely protective of his younger siblings. Nothing interesting happened in his life until his second year at Hogwarts (he was sorted into Slytherin, no surprise there). An uncle of his was getting married - to a Muggle woman. The family was outraged. The uncle had always been a Muggle supporter, unlike the rest of the family, and while it had been tolerated (ignored), this was “going too far”. The uncle was disowned, cast out of the family. The kids, who had been close to him, were told to forget about him. Caelum did as he was told. Since, Caelum’s life has been as normal as it can be. He’s made his way through school, deciding he wants to work in the Ministry, watching all six of his younger siblings come through school after him. His favorite little sister, Cassie, has just started, and he’s graduating this year. To be honest, he can’t wait to be done.

Name: Lunara Dark
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Not sure

House: Slytherin
Year: Fifth
Wand: Spruce, Unicorn Hair

Personality: Lunara is a mystery to most. She seems only to be vocal in class and rarely talks to her classmates other than an occasional, "Excuse me". That is, except for the younger students. She always seems to be talking to or helping a first year with their studies or a second year with being teased. It's not that she's 'shy', she just doesn't have much to say. But to those she does talk to, she is the kindest soul you'll meet. She is very trusting and is always giving second chances.
Strengths: Academics, Transfiguration, Singing
Weaknesses: Socializing, Anything Athletic

Appearance: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/...
Face Claim: none

History: Lunara was always teased for being in 'the bad house', but she refused to let it get to her. She saw the way it affected other people, the way they eventually gave in to the stereotypes. So, she always comforts the younger Slytherins, encouraging them to be themselves. Outside of Hogwarts, she is a mystery and stays on all breaks except summer.

Other:

Oh goodness, I'm way behind. Sorry guys!

Lunara
- Could you please add more to her personality? Something that makes her more likely to be in Slytherin, if you could, since she seems a little more like a Hufflepuff at the moment.
- More history would be great. Maybe more about her family life?
- Add her relations please (family, friends, etc.)

┌ Cassiopeia Sinistra ♦ of eleven years ┐
└ born 1st October ♦ female & asexual ┘

Being one of the few non-Slytherins of House Sinistra, little Cassiopeia — or Cassie, if you're close to her — displays rather more Slytherin traits, which is why some may wonder about her placement in Hufflepuff. However, the Sorting Hat didn't make a mistake with her — merely saw what she truly was like, deep down. Like all Hufflepuffs, she's dedicated, patient, loyal. Her sweet and innocent nature also makes her an easygoing person. However, there are times where she lacks tact, where you're likely to hear "but my mother says" coming out of her mouth, and she has a constant need for attention, since she was raised in a huge family.



Cassiopeia is the youngest child and daughter of the Sinistra family, a large and powerful Pureblood family. As a result, she's been spoilt in a lot of ways other families can't afford. Since she's the youngest child and daughter, she's been pampered a bit more so than the rest of her siblings, but it doesn't stop her from being close to the rest of them, all of whom are extremely protective and loyal to each other.

Nothing much extraordinary happened to her, at least after that time, when she was six years old, her favourite uncle was cast out of the family for marrying a Muggle man. He was the one who'd influenced the Hufflepuff traits he displayed; after all, he was a kind man, someone who was open-minded and taught her to do so too. As she as the youngest and thus the most impressionable, she was understandably distraught when that uncle seemingly vanished into thin air. Though she was taught to never mention him again, and to forget him, she still has questions — just kept inside of her, that's all.

As the last of her family to enter Hogwarts, Cassiopeia can't wait. Her brothers and sisters will all be there to help her out, and she can't wait to experience what her siblings have loved dearly. Even though she's been sorted into Hufflepuff, she'll always have people to rely on — except some of her housemates don't quite like her presence.



Cassiopeia's wand is made of maple and has a unicorn hair core.

Maple: (view spoiler)[I have often found that those chosen by maple wands are by nature travellers and explorers; they are not stay-at-home wands, and prefer ambition in their witch or wizard, otherwise their magic grows heavy and lacklustre. Fresh challenges and regular changes of scene cause this wand to literally shine, burnishing itself as it grows, with its partner, in ability and status. This is a beautiful and desirable wood, and wand quality maple has been among the most costly for centuries. Possession of a maple wand has long been a mark of status, because of its reputation as the wand of high achievers. (hide spoiler)]

Unicorn Hair: (view spoiler)[Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard.

Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may 'die' and need replacing. (hide spoiler)]

Cassiopeia's patronus is a cocker spaniel.

Cocker Spaniel: (view spoiler)[Those with the cocker spaniel patronus are charmingly disarming and know how to this cuteness to slide by. They are skilled at being delightfully playful, innocent and are often childlike in their functioning. For all their charming attributes they are quite sturdy and can persevere through nearly anything. They are sweet and easygoing and actively try to get along with anyone they can. They are social people and equally as loyal and endearing. They make some of the best travel companions and often can be the ones ready to take a detour to somewhere unexpected.

Yet as innocent as they are the drawbacks can be a lack of independence and introspection. With their social nature they often put aside life’s need for emotional growth. However once they make it through these challenges they are indescribably passionate about their purpose and direction in life. The best advice they could receive is to look back on past and try and do things differently the next time. They are joyous to be around and often draw people to themselves like a magnet. Their natural charm and leadership will take them to heights they have never dreamed of.

They thrive off of attention of others though and need to remember that not everything has to be about themselves. Their social nature inhibits them from identifying friends from foes, however, and it can cause great strife if they let in the wrong sort of people. They are quite active people and enjoy participating in just about every athletic event–whether they’re good at it or not. Left to their own devices, though, they can become bored and eventually destructive as they try to find a way to entertain themselves. (hide spoiler)]

Cassiopeia's boggart is being left alone, which manifests visually in the form of anyone around her disappearing, and people in photos going missing. Because of her thriving on attention, she's afraid of being alone and ignored.

I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name like a fool at the top of my lungs

House: Gryffindor
Year: Fifth [5th]
Wand: Yew wood, dragon heartstring core, 12 3/4", rigid. (view spoiler)[Yew wands are among the rarer kinds, and their ideal matches are likewise unusual, and accoasionally notorious. The wand of yew is reputed to endow the possessor with the power of life and death, which might, of course, be said of all wands; and yet yew retains a particularly dark and fearsome reputation in the spheres of duelling and all curses. However, it is untrue to say (as those unlearned in wandlore often do) that those who use yew wands are more likely to be attracted to the Dark Arts than another. The witch or wizard best suited to a yew wand might equally prove a fierce protector of others. Wands hewn from these most long-lived trees have been found in the possession of heroes quite as often as of villains. Where wizards have been buried with wands of yew, the wand generally sprouts into a tree guarding the dead owner's grave. What is certain, in my experience, is that the yew wand never chooses either a mediocre or a timid owner. (hide spoiler)]
Blood Status: Muggle-Born



Personality: Everyone thinks Luke is a player, arrogant, and completely self-centered. But in reality, that couldn't be farther from the truth. He's only had three girlfriends in all his five years at Hogwarts, and puts his sister Wilhelmina above all else in his life. For his whole life at Hogwarts, he's had to put up a mask so that others wouldn't see who he really is. In truth, he's the most loyal person you'll ever meet and will do absolutely anything for those he loves. He hates bullies and stereotypes, though he lives with the one he has put up for himself as protection. As students see Luke, nothing can touch him and he always has a smart remark to come back with if you try getting to him. Around others, he always jokes around and tries to reinforce these perceptions they have. He is very wary of who he lets in, and has almost impenetrable walls built up around him. Stubborn and unmoving in his beliefs and code of honor. Does not take well to being told what to do by students, but listens to teachers and does his best to respect them.
Strengths:
-Very good at hiding things: objects, secrets, emotions, his true self.
-Not afraid of confrontation, but avoids it if at all possible.
-On good terms with many of the teachers, which for the most part keeps him out of any trouble he may get into.
-Good with words, which can help getting out of situations.
-Can work out problems on his own.
Weaknesses:
-Short temper; gets riled up easily if you press the wrong buttons.
-Doesn't like asking for help when he needs it.
-Giving in to mother frequently so as not to get kicked out of home.
-Would do literally anything to keep sister safe and happy.
Goals: Have good friends and maybe even a girl who likes him for who he really is. Get a moderately good job in the wizarding world.
Likes: Quidditch, writing, dogs.
Dislikes: Whining, know-it-alls, bullies.

History: Luke grew up in a middle class family, with both parents and a little sister. And at once upon a time, they were happy. Sure, they didn't have that much money, and times were hard, but they were together, and that was enough. Needless to say, it didn't last. The dad? He died. The mom? A little crazy now. And the kids? Well, they're okay. As okay as you can be after something like that.

Luke was seven when his dad died, his sister one. He has some memories of his father, especially going out fishing together, camping, and trips to the library. Their uncle hasn't been seen since then, and no one seems to know where he is or if he's even alive. As soon as he was able, Luke got a job and started helping their mother keep what was left of the family together. When he got the acceptance letter to Hogwarts, Luke's mom thought this would be the solution to everything. He could now support the family with magic, and they would no longer have to suffer through multiple low-paying jobs just to get through each day. The reality, however, was not so. She got even worse after finding out this was not how it worked, and started demanding he do at least something to help out the family while he was away. He would not be allowed to come home except for the summer holidays, as it made everything much easier with one less person. At first Luke secretly charmed small things, such as toothbrushes and combs, to send home, but when so many of them went bad he just stopped and took the punishment. After his first year, Diana became a bit abusive, and Luke was forced to suffer through this and hide it from his sister. He fears what will happen if she too turns out to be a wizard, and until then makes sure he takes up all of their mother's attention when he is "home". Many times he has thought about attempting to put his mother in a mental institution, but dares not to in the chance that him and Wilhelmina would be separated in the foster care system.

Blake has dark brownish-black hair that falls down to her shoulder blades in messy waves and curls. Her eyes are an icy-blueish-grey that often look menacing and rarely show any kind of emotion. She rarely ever smiles, but when she does, it's a very nice smile with straight teeth. Her lips are chapped and thin, a light pink color. Blake's skin is a bit paler than average - likely to her lack of going outside - which gives her a bit of a vampire look. Most of the time, her eyebrows are furrowed and her eyes are narrowed (this also gives her an unapproachable look). She has a long, thin nose with light freckles splattered across it. Blake's fairly average at 5'6" and 120 pounds.

p e r s o n a l i t y

Blake is incredibly sarcastic to the point that most people can't take any positive thing she says seriously. She can be incredibly pessimistic; therefore, not the funnest to be around. But she's a good person to come and vent to for she'll rage with anyone all they want. Blake's also ambitious and only looks at cold, hard logic (unreasonable hope can go die). She's very intelligent and focuses hard on any goals she has without backing down unless she absolutely has to. Most people rarely get to see any other side of Blake due to the tall walls she has built around her and her crazy trust issues. But once one is able to break through her walls; she's sensitive, loyal, and utterly selfless. Break her trust; one will never get her to forgive them.

h i s t o r y

Since Blake was born she has been living alone with her single mother. Blake took care of her mum for years, acting more like a parent than she did. She never knew about who she truly was until she finally got her letter from Hogwarts. Blake immediately assumed that the entire thing was fake; some sort of sick prank her mum pulled to make her feel better. Then her mum explained everything. Blake found out that her father used to be the son of a Death Eater. One night when he was drunk, he had a one night stand with Blake's mum. He fled upon realizing that she was a Muggle. A few years later, he realized that he had a daughter and came back. He threatened to kill both Blake and her mother. Blake's mum promised not to tell anyone who Blake's dad was and he left them alone.
