Name: Michael Adams
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: 6/7/96
Blood Status: Half-blood
House or School: Hufflepuff



Michael is quite average-looking. He is average-size, being both just a little bit stockier than normal and entirely unremarkable in height. His slightly untameable hair is a nothing-y sort of brown colour, and his watery eyes a bluey grey. He tends to just wear muggle clothes in neutral colours.

Personality: Michael is a bit of a weird one. He is, in many ways, a typical Hufflepuff. He works hard and generally tries to be a decent person. He is gutsy without being aggressive and offers a shoulder to cry on where it is necessary – essentially great support to have on your side. However, he is not the strongest person ever; while he may, if pushed to it, try to challenge somebody's behaviour, he doesn't really have the confidence to force them to do anything, and certainly not the physical or magical ability. He is often a bluffer, and calling him on it will generally expose him as one. As a prefect, he always had a higher authority to go to and isn't used to having to sort out issues by himself.

He is frequently seen to be displaying what appears to be great displays of intelligence, and was frequently asked at school why he had not been sorted to Ravenclaw. The answer is that he is no more intelligent than the standard person and learns at quite a slow rate; however, he puts time and effort into what interests him, and he naturally works incredibly methodically and efficiently, ensuring he always understands the basics, then working through the complexities. Since he generally comes across as a genius, it can sometimes be frustrating to see how tediously and slowly he will pick a subject apart before proceeding.

Essentially, he is a cautious being, and academia is no different; he will not commit to any one school of thinking, and is in fact working on his own personal 'project' as an understanding of magic. This he calls Holistic Magical Theory, and it essentially boils down to the notion that magic is a universal force, and there is no distinct difference between schools of magic, beyond the pigeon-holes by which they have been labelled. Perceiving magic this way, he believes, enables it to be understood at a higher level, and so analysed more effectively. In particular he believes that the theory will enable the reverse-engineering of most spells, and so to find ways of breaking current boundaries of magic (resurrection, undoing the dark arts, conjuring food, etc). This research does require and involve the understanding of the dark arts, which he has been studying secretly since his sixth year.

While he spends most of his time being serious and dedicated to his studies, even outside the classroom and the context of exams, he is ironically quite strict about making sure he has some goalless downtime, which he will intentionally spend smoking like a chimney and doing absolutely nothing else.

History: Michael was born to a muggle-born witch and a muggle father, making him as slimly a half-blood as is possible to be. His mother, however, never passed any OWLs: she had the misfortune of being to sit them during Snape's tenure as Headmaster of Hogwarts. Instead of going into magical hiding, she, quite creatively, had a memory charm used on herself to simply reintegrate into the muggle community as the ultimate deep cover. As a muggle again, she met Samuel Adams, a muggle surgeon, with whom she would later get married and give birth to Michael. The notion that she was herself a witch only came when Michael's Hogwarts letter began to reemerge her deleted memories.
Michael attended Hogwarts and quickly learned about the magical world from his mother (while his father continued hyperventilating) but, of course, the information he received both overwhelmed him, and was several years out-of-date. To all intents and purposes, Michael considers himself basically another muggle-born. While at school, he worked hard as any good Hufflepuff does and got himself reasonably noticed as a all-round decent student among the teachers, and, when he hit the 5th year, he was appointed prefect. Around this time, he became more and more interested in the exact nature of magic and began his personal studies into magic itself. When, following his NEWTs (in Transfiguration, Arithmancy, Charms, Potions and Ancient Runes), he had the opportunity to experience the wide and varied types of magic from all over the world, he leapt at the chance.

Patronus: Can't quite muster one. A whispy bit of something is the best he can do.
Worst fear: Ignorance
Boggart: Himself, glassy-eyed and useless
Amortentia: Honey, that smell when you blow out a candle, and disinfectant

Name: Johann Wolf
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: 31st December 1993
Blood Status: Pure Blood
School: Durmstrang



Johann is basically a tank made of flesh. He clocks in at six foot four and sixteen stone, being both taller and bigger than your average man, exacerbated by his perfect posture. His blonde hair is generally left alone, and then shaved when it gets too long; the same too goes for his facial hair. He dresses more like a wizard than many younger people tend to nowadays, rarely seen outside a robe or cape and tending to wear vaguely formal clothes, though he is nowhere near as dressy as wizard attire has a reputation for being.

Personality: if Johann's body is tank-like, his personality is not too far different. He is a forceful young man who operates basically like a bulldozer and it seems almost impossible to tire him; he can and will work without rest until whatever task is completed, and it's almost medically impossible to change his mind once he has decided upon something. While his general brutish demeanour and appearance would suggest an alpha male personality, this is not strictly true; he will happily defer responsibility for the pack to a more suitable candidate for leader and will remain loyal to them for as long as he has faith in them. Respect is very important to Johann. It is hard-won but also hard-lost, and he will fight to defend his reputation and the good reputations of others. However, those unfortunate souls that have not earned his respect should not expect anything more than curt responses and grunts.

He is in many ways the product of his traditionalist pure-blood family, a family for whom convention and conservatism are of the utmost importance. While their take on wizarding culture did not rub off on Johann, he very much shares their political ideology; one that has much in common with the beliefs of the former death eaters. The only difference is perhaps in Johann's absence of actual venom; while he ultimately considers muggles as lesser beings than non-muggles, he does not resent them for it nor feel they should simply be slaughtered. Breeding with them is definitely a no-no, though, and he half-subscribes to the notion that magical blood can be 'diluted' by non-magical blood. Ultimately, it comes down to social order. That said, he is not entirely close-minded. He does not rule out the possibility that a muggle might not be a moron or that a muggle-born might be a competent wizard – he simply assumes that such examples are the exception and not the rule. Wizards and witches, according to Johann, have equal status in the social order, but he generally believes that men are better at 'manlier' arts such as duelling, flying, and the intricate sciences of magic, while women might find themselves more at home with the creative subjects of charms, potions, and those requiring 'alternative' skills such as divination. This makes it very easy for a competent witch to earn Johann's respect, but she should be very well-prepared to be (unwittingly) patronised. Johann, as with his family, generally approved of the Fudge regime and were particularly fond of Thicknesse's government, but they do not even remotely appreciate the hippy happy-clappy nothingy school of thought that seems to have overtaken the UK at the moment.

Johann is the third child (only son) of the Wolf family, a conservative but very well-regarded family from the South-East of Germany, Bavaria, which has been historically (and accurately) associated with Grindelwald's school of thought and with the murder of Ludwig II, though, naturally, the modern Wolfs are keen to disassociate themselves from either of those unfortunate realities. Johann's sisters attended Beauxbatons Academie in France, while he attended the Durmstrang Insitute, since Germany lacked its own (decent) education system. Needless to say, their educations differed, and the Wolf siblings took three divergent paths; the eldest, Gertrud, became a highly-regarded academic Numerologist who stayed on in a teaching capacity following her graduation; the middle-child, Beatrice, rebelled against the conservative family ways and was been all but cast out entirely; Johann, in Durmstrang, became an incredibly practical and powerful young man, with an eye for battle.

Very quickly it became apparent that his interests lay in competition and combat. He excelled in the Dark Arts taught at Durmstrang, but equally in defending himself from them and repairing the damage they could do with healing. In addition, he enjoyed the rearing and taming of magical creatures and plants. Outside the classroom, he also proved himself to be a great flyer, and put his emerging physical force to good use as Durmstrang's best beater of his generation. However, the academic side of things eluded him somewhat. When Transfiguration, Charms and Potions failed to come naturally to him, he didn't stop trying, but undermined his own efforts through a general lack of respect for the disciplines.

Upon graduation, it has been Johann's aim to join the German Ministry of Magic in the International Defence departments, but he has received the advice from the Ministry that he would do well to show 'continued interest and development in those fields in which his academic record was slightly sub-par' and to 'experience the world in a more pro-active environment'. With that in mind, he has been looking for possibilities to travel the world and to meet foreign students. His research made him aware of the group from Hogwarts on their Sabbatical, and he has arranged to join them when they reach the continent.

Patronus: A silvery eagle
Worst fear/Memory: Death of his sisters
Boggart: His sisters corpses, oddly melded into one horrible monstrosity
Amortentia: Charcoal, moss, polish
Natural Ability: Being, uh, massive?
Learned Ability: Ambidextrousnous (being able to use both hands equally) – it's surprising how much of an advantage it gives to beating/duelling
Pets: Nope. He had a stallion called Wulfric, but it died while he was at Durmstrang and he simply flies everywhere now.
House-elf: The Wolfs have a family of House-elves, but Johann has little more than outright contempt for them and avoids them wherever possible. The feeling is, presumably, mutual.

• Name: Eoghan "Logan" O'Lynch


• Gender: Male


• Date of Birth: June 9th, 1996


• Blood Status: Half-Breed, Squib-Leprechaun


• Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff

Appearance and Personality:

• Appearance: Standing at a diminutive four foot eleven, Eoghan has ofttimes been mistaken for a child at first glance due to the oversized clothes and distinct lack of presence, though no one repeats the mistake after seeing his bearded face and rather athletic frame. Truly, Logan's years of Quidditch and Dueling have left him with a sleek physique that often causes second glances from those not aware of his Half-Breed nature. Eoghan's eyes have been remarked as troublesome, the veil of green doesn't laugh when his mouth does, and gives most a distinct feeling he's up to something. Most of Logan's fashion consists of oversized robes and hats. This extends to his "Muggle" Attire where it is more commonplace to wear baggy hoodies and loose fit jeans with extraordinarily plain, hand-made sneakers.


• Personality: Those who've had the pleasure to call Eoghan their classmate or Hufflepuff housemate usually have a lot to say about the Half -Leprechaun, whether it be his apparent ability to shake off any form of insult to the cheeky grin that signals something is amiss. In actuality, Logan is at heart sensitive about his Half-Breed status and parental situation, having deep-seated issues of abandonment. Although he has done a masterful job of masking his emotions behind quick wit and sarcasm. To combat this, Logan has turned his sensitivity into determination, shattering his peers' expectations by becoming Hufflepuff's Starting Seeker in only his third year. Fiercely loyal to those who show him genuine affection and coldly distant to those he feels have insulted him, Logan can be quite the useful little man to have at one's side.

Strengths:

• Witty


• Loyal


• Diligent

Weaknesses:

• Sarcastic


• Devious


• Sensitive

Goals:

• Come to terms with separation of friends.


• Choose between Kenmare Kestrels and Ballycastle Bats.


• Convince group to make Taggart the Team Mascot

History: Born out of what many would consider rape, Eoghan O'Lynch might never have known of his Leprechaun nature were it not for his Pure-Blooded Grandparents., who scoured the forests of Ireland before locating one Aidan O'Lynch. Eoghan was essentially raised as a Leprechaun would be, learning magics of the forest and how to scam wizards and muggles alike, rarely, if ever, making trips into the more civilized portions of Wizarding Culture. His parents frequently bickered with each other, Aidan wanting to take Eoghan and raise him in the Faerie Kingdom, and his mother demanding he get an education from Hogwarts and become a regular member of society. Eventually, his letter came, and his father subsequently left, feeling his obligation to raise the boy over, though he did give his son a parting gift, a Kneazle Kitten. Upon arrival at the castle, Eoghan, who'd by that time just told others to call him Logan, was a near Hatstall, while the sorting hat had debated with itself between Gryffindor and Slytherin, the Half-Breed child pleaded to be put in Hufflepuff, fearing ostracization if placed in the other two houses. The Hat obliged, and thus began Logan's Hogwarts career.

Logan eventually found a home in the Hufflepuff Basement, and earned quite a few galleons for himself by running scams amongst the student populace, using Taggart as a sort of "lie detector" to validate his schemes to unsuspecting peers. While he was still ridiculed for his Half-breed status by the more venomous of Hogwarts' population, Logan always kept a smile on his face, and, partially as a joke at the time, took up Quidditch in his second year and dueling in his third to break certain stereotypes the more prejudiced of his classmates had set up for him. The boy proved a prodigious Seeker, and eventually joined the Hufflepuff House Team in his Third Year, devoting the majority of his time to the sport after finding a liking to it. His devotion paid off, as he was named Quidditch Captain in only his Fifth Year, leading his house to back-to-back House Cups in his Sixth and Seventh Year, garnering attention from several Irish Professional Quidditch teams in the process. He decided to keep the Golden Snitch from his final match as a personal memento, with permission from the Hogwarts gamekeeper, of course. Though he proved to excel at the more physical of Hogwarts' curriculum (take that, societal expectations!), Logan received only slightly above average grades in the more trivial of classes such as Muggle Studies and Transfiguration. Now facing another separation, this time due to graduation, Logan has informed the teams of his decision to undergo the traditional voyage around the world for one last hurrah with his friends, though admittedly the decision between whether to join the Kenmare Kestrels or Ballycastle Bats will more than likely be on his mind along the way.

• Patronus: Golden Retriever


• Natural Ability: Remarkably agile and acrobatic due to his low center of gravity.


• Learned Ability: Creation of Leprechaun Gold

• Name: Taggart


• Gender: Male


• Species: Kneazle


• Appearance: Unlike most breeds of Kneazle, who only slightly resemble Lions, Tigers, and the like, Taggart is almost an exact miniature replica of a Snow Leopard. Taggart was named such due to the rather ragged and disheveled tufts of his fur, and peculiar ability to get said fur on almost ever substance with which he comes in contact with, to the dismay of Hufflepuff students everywhere during Logan's time at Hogwarts. The most curious of Taggart's body parts would be his abnormally long whiskers, as long as a person's hand and almost always drooping downward, Logan eventually retrieved one of these whiskers for use in his Wand after the original Phoenix Feather core eviscerated.


• History:
Given to Logan upon his acceptance to Hogwarts, Taggart could be considered the forefront of the nature versus nurture debate. While Kneazles are generally hostile to untrustworthy wizards and witches, Taggart is utterly devoted to his Half-Leprechaun owner, who without a doubt has done some pretty dishonest things during his years at Hogwarts. Taggart almost seems to emulate the emotions of his owner, either hissing and generally being aggressive when Logan is offended, to falling asleep on top of Logan's head when the duo is bored. Taggart grew a reputation of his own on the grounds of Hogwarts for lurking anywhere and everywhere around the Castle during Logan's Quidditch Games or class periods, though with the latter the Kneazle often had to be shooed away from the classroom's door by a passing prefect or professor.

Rather short, and a little on the heavy side (she says she “uses it to hide her muscles”), with dark curly hair and equally dark, expressive eyes. She wears Muggle clothes in the Muggle world and robes among the magical, but doesn’t much care for fashion, as long as she can run around and be mobile and such. No matter what she’s wearing, though, there always seems to be a faint mix of strange smells following her around (not particularly bad smells, just weird incense, herbs, that kind of thing.)

Strengths:
Dueling, and practical magic in general, be it enchanting an object, performing a ritual or just casting spells with her wand. She is quite a contender, with a knowledge of offensive and defensive spells almost unmatched by her schoolmates, and has been the Captain of the Dueling Club since her fifth year. The emotions she feels as she duels, especially when overcoming a difficult opponent, can only be described as “unbridled joy”, and accordingly it’s one of her favorite pastimes. Somewhat following as a result of the above, Emma is in good physical shape, tempered by continuous dodging, side-stepping, running, and tumbling during her duels, and the general fitness training that she does. For fun, she has even learned some Muggle martial-arts, something that often surprises people when she tells them, and especially surprises people she duels against, as she sometimes applies their techniques.

While working with the more academic side of magic, she resonates well with her wand, giving her an edge in Transfiguration, and she does well in both DADA and Charms. Finally, because of (among other things) her family heritage and a natural love of adventure, Emma has developed a powerful interest in non-traditional, non-Western and even non-human magic, studying that of the Caribbean islands, her ancestor’s homelands in East Africa, centaurs, elves and goblins. This more ritualistic, often wandless magic is usually frowned upon (and never taught) at Hogwarts, and magical Britain in general, as they much prefer the precision of wands and spells, but obviously she doesn’t share the same prejudice.

Weaknesses:
All of the less-practical classes were very difficult for Emma to stay interested in, if just for the fact that she loves using magic, and in these classes, magic is supplementary instead of being the main focus (Astronomy, Divination, History of Magic, Ancient Runes, Arithmancy and the like). Also, though good at dueling, the other main British wizarding sport, Quidditch, is a big step in the opposite direction. When pushed, she can use a broom in some capacity, but because she gets vertigo very easily while suspended in the air like that, she tries to avoid them as best she can, preferring to keep her feet securely on the ground and Apparate to travel quickly. Finally, some people that she has attempted to befriend have been put off by the rumors that used to travel around the school that she’s a Dark Voodoo witch, not to mention her often troublesome nature (hence the nickname).

Patronus:
Elephant.

-Quite intelligent and social, but with obvious power (physical in the animal's case, magical in the girl's). Neither Emma nor an elephant will take your shit for very long, and if they get mad, you better believe someone or something is going to end up crushed. Furthermore, if someone they love is threatened, the only thing to do is run, because you do not want to get in their way. Wait, you're the one doing the threatening? -sigh- Just hope God is more forgiving.

Worst fear:
Being powerless. Not just losing her magic, but losing the freedom to choose her own path.

Boggart:
Herself, body broken and trapped in a cage, trying to cast magic, but having none.

Amortentia:
Singed hair, sweat, and the scent of a certain Gryffindor girl in her year...

Natural Ability:
She and her father both have “double-jointed” fingers and thumbs.

Learned Ability:
“Hedge” Magic, which includes a good bit of wandless magic, “doggerel verse”, pseudo-wandless rituals and the creation of small magical talismans and amulets. She loves the stuff, and is completely willing to teach it to anyone who wants to learn.

Goals:
-To duel the most powerful witches and wizards in the world (even if she lost, which she would)!

-To explore jungles and deserts and far away islands, fighting off magical beasts and collecting treasures as she goes! (In fact, she was one of the first ones to talk about going on a Pilgrimage)

-To develop her own useful spells and unique artifacts (probably her biggest long-term. She wants to make an impact on the magical world, however she can)

Special Items:
-Wand sheath: A commonsense item, and a must-have for any serious duelist, this belt and/or wrist-sheath combo allows quick access to her wand at any time, and she never goes anywhere without it.

-Ritual items: amulets, incense, animal bones and magical reagents, to name a few, this is Emma’s “hedge magic” and alchemy repertoire, collected over several consecutive summers during trips to magical and/or traditional places around the world

-Advanced spellbooks: As soon as she became of age at the beginning of the summer, Emma marched (and Apparated) right down to the restricted and advanced section of Flourish and Blotts and had a glorious few hours picking out the most interesting theoretical and practical spellbooks that her parents had never let her buy before, going beyond N.E.W.T. level in rigor and capability. She won’t pretend to have mastered them already, or even to have read them all, but she is indeed making a valiant effort, and plans to study them during the Pilgrimage.

Patronus:


"Mother" Goose
Much like a mother goose, Amelia is composed and protective of herself and her friends. A geese are often displayed with prominence and beauty. While not exactly swans, they still have a sense of elegance. While normally docile in most cases, a goose will take on anything that dares to threaten its children, or in this case friends..

Boggart: Amelia is most afraid of being alone in the dark.

Amortentia (love potion smell): The smell of mint, a fine, expensive French perfume, and the smell of flowers

Pets:
Name, gender, species, appearance, brief description of personality.

House-elf:




Pan is a female house elf in servitude to the Capello family for about fifteen years now. She is not mistreated or abused, but that is about as far as courtesies go for Pan. She is surprisingly tough for a house elf so she doesn't let it get to her. She just appreciates the quality food and sleeping quarters under the stairs. By far the worst the worst Capello is Amelia's brother, William, who is just a few years behind Amelia in age. Second worst is Amelia's father. Pan receives good treatment from Amelia's mother, though.

Name: Alexandra “Leck” Bellowes
Gender: Female
Date of Birth: 17th December 1995
Blood Status: Pure Blood
House: Slytherin



Alexandra is something of a tomboy. Despite the rather curvy curves nature gave her, nurture has not given her any inclinations to be particularly feminine. She wears little to no makeup (and certainly will not be wearing any on the pilgrimage) and does not try to top up her unimpressive five feet of height with heels. What she does believe in, to some degree, is being presentable, and so she will make sure she is clean and nicely turned-out even if not overtly feminine.

Personality: Leck goes almost out of her way to not be what her parents want her to be. The product of an old Slytherin family she rails violently against their interest in academia, wealth, status and, yes, blood-purity, she can't think of anything worse than being somebody's wife and baby-maker in a nice, neat little mansion somewhere. She is relaxed, chilled-out, and truthful, even when the truth hurts. Nothing sounds better to her than to be around a few friends and having a bit of a drink. She's inherently a little bit masculine, and often doesn't have time for what she considers to be female duplicity or superficiality, though woe betide any man that should bemoan the same traits. Leck carries a bit of a temper around with her, and her outbursts, though few and far between, have been absolutely legendary. As a result, her compassionate nature and general laid-back attitude tend to take people by surprise.

She does take a little getting used to, and can be quite intense. Her unflinching, slightly brazen exterior is mostly for show, as a means of off-setting her family background and the general societal expectations of purebloods, the wealthy, and women. It's not unheard of for her to make inappropriate jokes with people she doesn't know, or generally been a little overbearing. The fact that she is a firm believer in cutting the crap can also make uninformed small-talk almost entirely impossible. Though she dropped most practical (and dangerously so) subjects as soon as she could, her bravado would occasionally have her throw herself into situations to show her carefree nature, only to find herself ill-equipped to deal with them, and need, to her supreme annoyance, to be helped.

Strengths:

• Truthful
• Witty
• Lively
• Free-spirited
• Compassionate

Weaknesses

• Impatient
• Contrarian
• Hot-headed
• Critical

Goals

• Get out of a fiercely wizarding community
• Be a crazy cat lady
• Do as little as possible

Hobbies

• Any muggle media/hobby
• Beer

The Bellowes are a new wizarding family, whose name was changed about a decade and half ago for reasons they say they don't remember. They were previously well-respected in the wizarding community, but were perhaps too sympathetic to the wrong circles at the wrong time, and now, even if their wealth is intact, they have cut themselves off from those less savoury faces on their family tree and decided to start afresh. It's the one thing Leck isn't honest about and she has intentionally not pried into the Bellowes' history too much. She has suspicions that the men in the family, including her father, have done things she would not be able to forgive them for, and she puts in a lot of effort to suspend her disbelief; she isn't sure that the imperius curse her father was found at his trial to have been under was real. Counter-intuitively, she does enjoy her family's company, even if they are politically poles-apart, and so they have a don't-ask-don't-tell policy that goes both ways; she leaves their family history alone; and they, in turn, give her space to be a bloodtraiter rebellious teen. With that in mind, she goes out of her way to do bloodtraitery things, avoiding academic excellence and wizarding conventions at all costs.

Patronus: A hummingbird
Worst fear: A dark relapse on behalf of the Bellowes family.
Boggart: Her father as a death eater
Amortentia: Pear drops, paraffin, chilli
House-elf: The Bellowes kept trying to keep house elves, but she kept freeing them and they've given in and won't get any more.

If one looks closely, her 'stripes' are actually the accumulated spots as well, just somehow formed into bands along her tail. Janine often refers to her as "Sadie Dear" or "Lady Sadie".

Lady Sadie is fiercely independent and tends to wander about on her own most of the time. However, Sadie also has an uncanny ability to show up whenever Janine is feeling less than her best.
