Oberon is a marble fox that Aibhlinn found in the forests on the outskirts of town. She named him Oberon because she ironically found him in a fairy ring and he acts all high and mighty, like a king. He tends to snub people he doesn't like and can be very protective of Aibhlinn. He is very picky about what he eats though he has a slight obsession with bacon.
βΊA P P E A R A N C Eβ Standing at 4 feet and 10 inches, Aibhlinn is the shortest person in her family by far and never hears the end of it from her brothers, who are all either over 6 feet or close to it. Aibhlinn doesn't know where she got her shortness from since her father is 6 feet and her mother is as least 5'8 though Aibhlinn chalks it up to be the circumstances of her birth that lead to her lacking height. Her long dark brown hair tumbles down to her waist and she normally wears it braided back though she has days where she leaves it down. It is naturally wavy and she likes it that way, having never touched a curling or flat iron her entirely life. She has bright blue eyes that she got from her father, her mother and brothers having green or hazel eyes. Her complexion is fair without freckles or other blemishes though she does burn rather easily if exposed to too much sun.
When not wearing her uniform, Aibhlinn's wardrobe consists mostly of grays, whites and blacks. Due to her condition, she trusts those colors and feels comfortable wearing them. She likes jeans and t-shirts though she has a few dresses, skirts and some shorts and other tops that her mom bought her before leaving for Hogwarts. She normally wears converse on casual days though she owns one or two pairs of boots. Both of her ears are pierced though her mother had a hard time even getting that done therefore Aibhlinn does not sport any tattoos.

βΊP E R S O N A L I T Yβ When Aibhlinn is around people that are not her family or her close friends, she is normally seen as quiet and reserved. She tends to not speak much and speaks quietly at that when spoken to. She is closed off to people she does not know very well and will only open up to people she knows very well. To add to that, Aibhlinn is very loyal to her family and the people she calls her friends. She would do anything to protect them and keep them safe, even if that means putting herself in harms way. She is very self-less and tends to forget about her own well-being at times. Once given a task, Aibhlinn will become focused solely on that task and will not give up or relent until she is satisfied with the end result. To the extent, she is also a perfectionist and is very reluctant to proclaim her work is perfect to her standards. She is a very neat and organized person coming from a family with three messy brothers; her part of the dorm with not have a blanket out of place. Her bed is made every morning and if one were to open her trunk, they would find everything orderly and in its respective places. All her books are alphabetized by author and her clothes folded neatly. She also does not like other people touching her things, especially her diary or photo album that holds pictures of her family. Thankfully, her OCD ends with herself and so she will not go around telling others to organize their things or make their bed. If they want to be messy so be it as long as her things are tidy.
Despite her being closed off to other people, Aibhlinn likes to help people and will offer to help if she can manage to pluck up the courage. Aibhlinn also does not trust very easily and won't off much about herself even if asked. Even in class, if she knows the answer she is still wary of speaking out. If called on she will answer but will not willingly raise her hand by herself. With assignments or tasks given to her, she prefers to know all the information needed, wanting the whole picture before she begins. Even if it seems un-needed, she wants to know every detail.
Aibhlinn is also Ambidextrous, which means she is both left and right-handed. She tends to switch between them, not really favoring one over the other though it has been noted that if she is writing essay's or though out pieces she will write with her left and if she is scribbling down notes she will use her right.
To the people she is close to, Aibhlinn is seen as a happy girl. She hates being the center of attention and can become quite flustered when put in the spotlight. She blushes easily and cries even easier. She also does not like for other people to see her cry, she has a bad habit of bottling up her emotions and problems; instead putting on a brave face and acting like nothing is wrong. She is a very good listener if someone needs to rant and is not very easily angered herself. If you do manage to anger to her you'll never know it though people close to her know the angrier she gets, the quieter her voice gets. However, even if she is angry, she will hold her tongue and not lash out with hurtful words. She also will simply walk away if her anger becomes too strong.
Aibhlinn can be very stubborn and does not ask for help very often, especially around people she is not close to. However, if sh feels comfortable around someone, she might ask. Maybe. She is very independent.

βΊH I S T O R Yβ Strictly speaking, Aibhlinn should not be alive. After three boys, Aibhlinn's mother was warned she should not have anymore children as she had had problems when the twins Declan and Rion were born. But Mavelle and Faolan desperately wanted a baby girl. Against the doctors warnings, they tried for another baby. They prayed day and night and in August Mavelle missed her monthly cycle. Hoping against all odds, she went to the doctor and almost burst into tears of happiness upon discovering she was pregnant. Throughout the pregnancy, Mavelle and the baby were carefully monitored and thankfully so when Mavelle went into labor on a cold December night, a good four months before her due date. It was a long and painful labor and there was a critical point where the doctors would have lost the mother and child if they had not preformed a C-section when they did. Both lived though Aibhlinn spent the first couple months of her life in the hospital on careful watch of the doctors and nurses. Because of her premature birth, Aibhlinn suffers from a weak immune system and can get sick very easily. She is also prone to ear infections and can have breathing problems if her body is worked too hard. Despite these complications, nothing stopped her from running around outside with her brothers.
The doctors had feared that Aibhlinn's growth would be stunted and her parents adopted this fear when she didn't get her teeth or much hair until she was two. As a child, Aibhlinn always looked younger than she actually was and people in the shops were very surprised to see what looked like a toddler speaking in full sentences. All in all, she was a happy and bright child who adored her older brothers. Her brothers adored her right back and didn't mind when she followed them around everywhere. Closer to her age, the twins were Aibhlinn's partners in crime where they got into all sorts of mischief. However, Cain was never far behind to get them out of trouble. With her condition, her brothers and parents did not treat her any differently. Her brothers even tried to help by telling her what the color of things were; the sky is blue, the grass is green, etc. They even made a game were they would bring her objects like apples and such and she would try to guess what color is was. Aibhlinn was never burdened by her lack of color. Instead she accepted it as a part of herself and strove to not be brought down by it.
Her family was happy though her parents become worried when odd things began happening around their daughter. Things moving on their own, objects suddenly surrounding Aibhlinn when they were not there before. When her letter to Hogwarts arrived, her family was surprised and relieved that there was finally an explanation to the strange happenings. The twins even expressed jealousy that she got to go to the neat school while they were stuck with boring, non-magical school. They made Aibhlinn swear to write to them any chance she got and tell them all about her classes and such. Now, the twins were finishing up high school and Cain was over-seas in American pursuing his dream of becoming a musician. Aibhlinn still writes to them all any chance she gets and is enjoying her life at Hogwarts.
βΊE X T R Aβ She loves drawing but with her condition she can not do much with it. Luckily she also loves dancing which does not require the ability to see other than in shades of gray, black, and white.
When she was born, she was diagnosed with Monochromacy which means she is only able to see in black, white, or shades of gray. She has accepted this as a part of herself and deals with it the best she can.
Wonderful character. Accepted.
You may post for her or wait until the time skip but you may post her in the Character Tab though.
For anyone who doesn't know, Alan Rickman passed away today. RIP. :(
I heard, I didn't find out until my English teacher told the whole class. I am heartbroken - he was a great actor. I can't even imagine how his family and friends are feeling.
I plan to be getting a post up sometime this weekend, earlier if I can, but I've been busy with school
