Name: Agatha 'Aggie' Statenham
Age: 28
Pronouns: She/her
Blood Status: Half-blood

Nationality: Scottish (Born in Aberdeen)

Wand: 11", maple, centaur tail hair, reasonably flexible.

Occupation: Flight Instructor & Quidditch Coach
Class: N/A
Club: N/A
Years At The School: One year

Appearance: Aggie is a bit of a pocket-rocket. Small in stature and big in personality, she's a formidable 5'2" tall and sports a build that can only be described as wiry. These days her short, perpetually tousled hair is showing some dark roots under the silver bleach, and her mixed race heritage is most obvious in her dark eyes, a feature she inherited from her Japanese mother. Underneath the simple, practical set of robes she wears while working, she typically dresses in a casual - albeit slightly punk - muggle style; mostly jeans, oversized t-shirts and boots. A delicate silver ring decorates her left nostril.

Personality: Energetic - Thoughtful - Hardworking - Passionate - Obsessive - Perfectionist - Calculating - Impulsive

History: Looking back on her life, Aggie always regretted the risks she didn't take more than the ones she did. As a child she was studious, obedient and aside from a few unfortunate incidents with some of Zonko's products, she hardly ever got in trouble. She grew up an only child in a typical middle-class household. Her father, a Healer at St Mungos, married her muggle mother when they were both well into their thirties. By the time Aggie came along they had already settled comfortably into their lives and were ... well, rather boring. They were wonderful parents and she loved them dearly, but as she grew older Aggie chafed under their strict rules. Needing an outlet, she threw herself into her passion; Quidditch.

Years later when she had graduated from Hogwarts and spent some time drifting from one menial job to another, that passion would finally pay off and become her livelihood. She was chosen to join Scotland's very own Pride of Portree Quidditch team. Only as a substitute, of course, but still. Hard work was something she knew how to do, and she did it well, eventually earning herself a spot as Keeper. For three years she held that position, and in that time things were good. They won a few games, lost others and she got to see the world.

But of course it couldn't last. In her heart of hearts, Aggie knew she would eventually need to move on. The life of a professional Quidditch player was exciting, glorious and oh so exhausting. She was burning her candle at both ends. When an opportunity arose for a new beginning, she took it without much thought. There was an unexpected opening at Atlas Academy when their old Flight Instructor suddenly retired in the middle of the school year. Aggie was the only one available on such short notice. Thrust into this new career, she struggled at first but with practice came ease. Now she looks forward to the start of the new year and whatever it may bring.

Name: Andrew Bansing, prefers to be called Andy.
Age: 49
Pronouns: He/him
Blood Status: Pureblood.

Nationality: United Kingdom.
Alumni: Hogwarts, Hufflepuff
Wand: Sycamore wood with a phoenix feather core, 14 ½" and hard flexibility

Occupation: Magizoologist
Class: Muggle Studies
Club: Ethics Debate Club (for 5th years and up)
Years At The School: 5 years

Appearance: With his 1,88 meters and 81 kilograms, Andy is tall, but has an average ectomorph body shape. His dark-blond hair almost reaches his shoulders and he usually keeps it tied together in a loose ponytail. His eyes are grey-blue and he has no distinctive features in his shaved face.
He often dresses in Muggle t-shirts and jeans, and only wears robes when he has to. The t-shirts often have a funny image or text on them.

Personality: If you take his word for it, Andy is the best wizard and the best magizoologist and the best teacher that ever lived, and that they should have awarded him the Order of Merlin the moment he was sorted into Hufflepuff. While he knows all that is not true, he will still take any opportunity to remind people around him how awesome he really is.
While Andy can be serious when he wants to be or when needs to be, he likes to exaggerate and boast, even when the boast is obviously misplaced or when he knows it annoys those around him. Some say he does it on purpose to annoy those he doesn’t like, but he never admitted that.
Andy has a curious nature and is methodical in his research. It’s one of the few things he takes seriously in life.
He is outspoken; he will speak up and share his opinion, whether that was requested or not. When he disagrees with something it will be known, even when the person he disagrees with is of higher rank or status.

History: Andy comes from a family of pureblood wizards in the UK.
Like most magical children he went to Hogwarts where he got sorted into Hufflepuff, although the sorting hat had considered Ravenclaw too.
The classes he took were: Charms, Defence Against The Dark Arts, History of Magic, Care of Magical Creatures, Muggle Studies, and Study of Ancient Runes. He was one year behind Snape and the Marauders and when he graduated, he became a Magizoologist.

While he was asked to join the Death Eaters because of his pureblood status, he refused; he didn’t want to be part of that pureblood supremacy and he actually kinda liked muggles, who seemed to do well without the ability to do magic. During the First Wizarding War he protected Muggles and muggle-borns as well as he could, but never joined the Order of the Phoenix.

Between the First and Second Wizarding War against Voldemort, Andy worked as a Magizoologist, often travelling to Africa for his studies. When he wasn’t travelling, he wrote about his research and published it, while living in a Muggle apartment building; the apartment had belonged to an uncle and none of the other relatives had wanted to live among muggles.

He started giving lectures about his published research in conventions for Magizoologists and guest lectures in Wizard Schools around the world. The lectures were about the creatures he had investigated, but over time his focus shifted to the ethics surrounding the study of magical creatures and gave lectures about that. That led the way to exploring the subject of ethics more closely.

During the Second Wizarding War, Andy again didn’t join any group but did what he could to protect Muggles and Muggle-borns around him.
After Voldemort was defeated, he was contacted about teaching Muggle Studies at Hogwarts, since he had done several lectures in school, and not only had he taken that class during his own time at Hogwarts, he had lived among them. And because Andy didn’t have an immediate research project and he enjoyed teaching kids new things, he took the job.

But the rediscovery of Atlantis intrigued him and after a few years he moved there to explore it. It wasn’t long before he decided to settle there and apply for a full-time job at the new School of Atlantis.
