[CHAR] Harry Potter: The New Era

[GingerBoi123]

Name: Albert "Albie" Seraford

Age: 11

Appearance:

Hider

House: Ravenclaw

Blood: Pure. Albie's father is an administrator for the Ministry of Magic. (He basically sorts the mail coming in and out of the Ministry.) His mother works for London Zoo (Magical Creatures section. Hidden from Muggles). Both attended Hogwarts and were both very pleased when they found out their son would be attending. Although they are a family of pure blooded wizards and witches, they frown upon elitists in the Wizarding society.

Wand:

Alder wood with a Unicorn hair core, 10 and 3/4" length and Hard flexibility

Alder
Alder is an unyielding wood, yet I have discovered that its ideal owner is not stubborn or obstinate, but often helpful, considerate and most likeable. Whereas most wand woods seek similarity in the characters of those they will best serve, alder is unusual in that it seems to desire a nature that is, if not precisely opposite to its own, then certainly of a markedly different type. When an alder wand is happily placed, it becomes a magnificent, loyal helpmate. Of all wand types, alder is best suited to non-verbal spell work, whence comes its reputation for being suitable only for the most advanced witches and wizards.

Unicorn Hair Core
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.

Personality: Thoughtful, caring but often reserved, Albert is a deep thinker who thirsts for knowledge and opportunities to help people and creatures alike. Although, one mystery Albie has never understood is Muggles themselves. Dad says they're a strange but likeable lot. He is absolutely mad about magical creatures, and wish he could've brought one as a pet for Hogwarts. He is a fantastic listener, and takes time and care to respond, however he is always there for his friends, no matter what.

History: Albie grew up in a happy home. His father worked hard and cared immensely for the wellbeing of his wife and only child. Albert's mother was just as caring, teaching her son to care just as much, including creatures and Muggles. Thanks to his mother's employment, Albert got to see magical creatures weekly, being taught everything his mother knew as well as the other zookeepers. One of his first books ever was the famous 'Newt' Scamander's "Fantasic Beasts and Where to Find Them" title, and his parents were thankful they didn't have to pay extra money when they discovered that this text was part of Hogwart's syllabus.

Although he respects Muggles, he didn't grow up around any and spent the majority of his childhood in the Wizarding world. Both him and his parents were ecstatic when that famous letter was posted into the letterbox of the Seraford family home. The next day was a whole trip to Diagon Alley, gathering all the things he required. This included his first wand and his pet Owl, who Albie got to name as Irwin. With that, it was only a matter of time before the school term began and he departed his London home at Platform Nine and Three Quarters.

[Nikki Moonlight]

Name: Sarah Smith
Age: 11
Gender: Female
Appearance:
House: Hufflepuff
Wand: Cypress Wood with a unicorn hair core, 14", hard flexibility.
Blood Type: Half-blood.
Personality: Sarah is quiet, tending to shy away from people. However, once someone gets past her guards/walls and shows they care you have someone who will never leave your side. Sarah also tends to mouth off if you anger her.
History: Sarah was born into a family where her birth mother died and she was adopted a year later, where every step she took was frowned upon by her parents. They often called her a failure, a stupid and worthless girl. Finally she was given her letter to Hogwarts and almost immediately her adopted parents called her a freak and one of the teachers had to come get her. Now she's a loner so far.
Pet: A black cat who so far is her only friend
Other: Sarah is albino

[Hidden Lilly]

Name: Beatrice Leone

Age: 11

Appearance:

She looks older here, maybe this could be her look for down the road at the ball thing during the tri-wizard tournament?

House: Hufflepuff

Blood: Mixed. Her father is a muggle born Italian and her mother was born into a magically gifted Irish/British family. It is hard to say as to if that side of the family is pure blood or not. They believe in loving whomever you love, equating to there being marriages to both purebloods and muggle borns.

Wand:

Laurel wood with a Unicorn hair core 10" and Hard flexibility

Laurel
It is said that a laurel wand cannot perform a dishonourable act, although in the quest for glory (a not uncommon goal for those best suited to these wands), I have known laurel wands perform powerful and sometimes lethal magic. Laurel wands are sometimes called fickle, but this is unfair. The laurel wand seems unable to tolerate laziness in a possessor, and it is in such conditions that it is most easily and willingly won away. Otherwise, it will cleave happily to its first match forever, and indeed has the unusual and engaging attribute of issuing a spontaneous lightning strike if another witch or wizard attempts to steal it.

Unicorn
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.

10" in length
Most wands will be in the range of between nine and fourteen inches. While I have sold extremely short wands (eight inches and under) and very long wands (over fifteen inches), these are exceptionally rare. In the latter case, a physical peculiarity demanded the excessive wand length. However, abnormally short wands usually select those in whose character something is lacking, rather than because they are physically undersized (many small witches and wizards are chosen by longer wands).

Hard flexibility
Wand flexibility or rigidity denotes the degree of adaptability and willingness to change possessed by the wand-and-owner pair - although, again, this factor ought not to be considered separately from the wand wood, core and length, nor of the owner’s life experience and style of magic, all of which will combine to make the wand in question unique.

Personality: Compassionate and steadfast, Beatrice is always out to help others and stand up for what is right. She is playful and fits in well with her house as one would have to be very clear or harm her greatly in order to lose her loyalty and friendship. Beatrice is always thinking of the good in others. She is determined and disciplined in almost everything she does.

History: Beatrice was raised within the magical community but often visited her Nono and Nona with family, giving her experience in the muggle world. She has a younger sister, and her parents love her very much. They are always encouraging her to strive to be the best version of herself she can be.
Beatrice was very excited to receive her letter to attend Hogwarts, just as her parents had. She was even more excited to finally be able to own a cat. She picked out a lovely, large, male tortishell kitten. She practically dragged the poor animal everywhere she goes, though he doesn’t seem to mind.

[AnyAlex]

Name: Skyler Novina

Age: 11

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Hider

House: Ravenclaw

Wand:

Black Walnut wood with a dragon heartstring core, 11 ¾" and hard flexibility

Black Walnut wood
Less common than the standard walnut wand, that of black walnut seeks a master of good instincts and powerful insight. Black walnut is a very handsome wood, but not the easiest to master. It has one pronounced quirk, which is that it is abnormally attuned to inner conflict, and loses power dramatically if its possessor practises any form of self-deception. If the witch or wizard is unable or unwilling to be honest with themselves or others, the wand often fails to perform adequately and must be matched with a new owner if it is to regain its former prowess. Paired with a sincere, self-aware owner, however, it becomes one of the most loyal and impressive wands of all, with a particular flair in all kinds of charmwork.

Dragon Heartstring Core
As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner. The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.

Personality: Skyler certainly isn't a loner. She enjoys being around people and talking about topics that interest her.She is one of the most sensible people you would ever meet. However, she isn’t afraid to do something stupid or dangerous if it will affect the world or people close to her positively. Even though her aura is usually calm, she is actually easily angered and annoyed. As a young child (and even now) she loved to study and do personal research due to her hard working nature.

She loves art, photography, science, writing, mythology and astronomy.

History: Before her mother divorced her father, she taught her about stars and such, sparking Skye's love for astronomy and science. She was the youngest child, being born 5 years after her older brother which was a muggle like her parents.
When she got her acceptance letter, she was ecstatic. It took her and her father a bit to find the Diagon Alley, but once they found it they bought everything needed and more (Amelie, additional books etc.).

Pet: A Russian Blue kitten named Amelie.

Amelie

[Dragonsinc]

Name: Lyle Lupin

Age: 11

Gender: male

Appearance:
Lyle's unaltered form consists of brown hair, and brown eyes. He is approximately 5 feet tall, and weighs around 90 pounds, creating a lean looking figure. He is not one to make an intimidating figure. His preferred shape is that consisting of white hair and light blue eyes, otherwise leaving everything else be.

House: Gryffindor

Wand: Yew wood with a phoenix feather core, 12 ½" and reasonably supple flexibility

Blood Type: pure blood ( however his family line is mixed, with multiple people having married muggles)

Personality: Lyle is primarily one to explore. Put a new experience in front of him, no matter the perceived danger, and he will take off running full speed. He is protective and loyal to those that are close to him, he couldn't not stand by and watch if something was going on. He is generally a gentle person, wishing for the best of everyone.

History: Lyle, while born into the family with the last name of well known people, is so distantly related to Remus Lupin that it could be considered that he isn't. His parents are two full bloods. As of now, he is an only child and doesn't believe that he will gain another sibling. His parents were shocked after his birth, discovering that his appearance, hair and eye mainly, was changing. It took a while for him to be able to figure out how his abilities as a metamorphmagus worked, and even now he is limited to very very basic actions. It's difficult to learn something that there are so few teachers aware of. As a youth, he enjoyed being outside, running around, exploring, and playing sports and that has not changed much at his current age.

Pet: His pet ferret Snowball

[Nyctophilia]

Name: Phoenix Woods
Age: 11
Gender: Male

Appearance

Additional Appearance Information: At 5' 1", Phoenix is certainly taller than the usual 11 year old you can find. Behind the brown hair and black glasses, green eyes shine bright with intelligence and awareness. A sharp nose and thin lips are the only other features of his simple face. His body is slightly lanky, and is hardly noticeable under thick clothes.
House: Ravenclaw
Wand:
-Hawthorne Wood
-Unicorn Hair
-14 and 1/2"
-Unyielding Flexibility

Wand

Blood Type: Half-Blood
Personality: Phoenix is normally quiet and independent, more comfortable tinkering with his various inventions rather than with people. He is highly intelligent, but hardly ever shares much with others. He is also a perfectionist, and constantly self doubts himself to the point where it it crippling.
History: Phoenix was born into a slightly rich family of four. His brother, Alexander, is homeschooled. His mother is a muggle that had fallen in love with his father, and even more when he warned her that he was a wizard. They conceived Phoenix on April 3rd, two years after their marriage. Growing up, Phoenix was slightly spoiled and well taken care of. He has an affinity for Charms, and looks forward to the class.
Pet: Cyrus (Barn Owl)

Cyrus

RP Example: Tugging at the uncomfortably-tight tie around his neck, Phoenix observes himself in the old, dusty mirror. With a sigh, he retrieves a rag from under the sink and wipes off a streak of dust, just enough so that he can see. The tie is still refusing to straighten, and he only has a few minutes before he has to join his family in the living room.

"Weddings are too much work for what it is worth..." he mutters to himself.
