[CHAR] Hogwarts 2010

Name: Dana Zachary Allbright

Date of Birth: April 20th, 1999

Appearance:
Hair: Light brown, straight. He dislikes getting a haircut, and as of the start of the year it falls over his ears.
Eyes: Light gray
Complexion: Pale, a little freckly around the nose
Height: 5'4
Weight: 130

Blood Status: Half Blood

Personality: When he moves, he does so with great surety, but it often takes him a long period of deliberation. He's slow to act, and seems a little nervous about making decisions. It's not until the decision making is over that his nervous demeanor drops. Sometimes, quite unwisely some would say, he'll let someone else dictate what course of action is best, or else "leave it up to fate." Once a path is chosen, he'll stick with it, it's the choosing that he has trouble with.
Has a good soul, and likes to lend a hand. Is intensely loyal to Jackson, his older brother.

Wand:

Spruce and Phoenix Feather

Spruce: It is quite true that it requires particular deftness to work with spruce, which produces wands that are ill-matched with cautious or nervous natures, and become positively dangerous in fumbling fingers. The spruce wand requires a firm hand, because it often appears to have its own ideas about what magic it ought to be called upon to produce. However, when a spruce wand meets its match - which, in my experience, is a bold spell-caster with a good sense of humour - it becomes a superb helper, intensely loyal to their owners and capable of producing particularly flamboyant and dramatic effects.

Phoenix Feather: This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike.
Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.

[Hidden Lilly]

Name: Beatrice Leone

Date of Birth: December 19th

Appearance:
Hair colour: Light brown, between long and mid-length, side bangs with many layers
Eye colour: Bright green
Skin colour: a fair ivory, from her mother's side (she tans to an olive tone thanks to her dad)
Body Type: child... but closer to mesomorphic
Height: 4'9"
Weight: 88lbs

Blood Status: 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.

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.

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.

Bottom: Transfiguration (much to her chagrin)

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 tortiseshell/tabby kitten. She practically dragged the poor animal everywhere she goes, though he doesn’t seem to mind.

Michelle Jenkins

Name: Michelle Julia Jenkins

Date of Birth: January 1st, 1999

Blood Status: Half-Blood

Personality: The very first word that pops into one's mind when thinking about Michelle is determination, and the second, ambition. Everyone that knows Michelle knows that whenever she puts her mind to something, it will get done, regardless of whatever obstacles she has to push through in order to do so. She is intelligent and very articulate, and her confidence is shown through her powerful mannerisms. She is generally friendly, unless you give her a reason not to be. While being confident in both herself and her actions, this is often to a fault. She is very opinionated, has trouble asking for help, and hates admitting when she's wrong. She tends to keep to herself, though is not timid, and can sometimes be sarcastic and cold towards others. She is extremely dependable, however; If you ask her to meet you somewhere, she will be there; if she promises to do something, she will do it; if you ask her for help, she will do everything in her power to assist. Underneath the frustrated sighs and eye-rolls lies a person who's kind and caring at the core.

Wand:

Redwood wood with a phoenix feather core, 12 ¼" and brittle flexibility

Redwood
Wand-quality redwood is in short supply, yet constant demand, due to its reputation for bringing good fortune to its owner. As is usually the case with wand lore, the general populace have the truth back to front: redwood wands are not themselves lucky, but are strongly attracted to witches and wizards who already possess the admirable ability to fall on their feet, to make the right choice, to snatch advantage from catastrophe.

Phoenix
This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike. Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalize, and their allegiance is usually hard won.

House: Slytherin; While Slytherin has a bad reputation for producing Dark witches and wizards, not all Slytherins are rotten apples. You are here simply because you have high expectations and won't stop at anything to achieve your goals. Sure, you might step on a few fingers to get there, but that's a price you're willing to pay.

Pet: Salem was named after the cat from one of Michelle's favorite television shows: Sabrina the Teenage Witch. She thought it to be very ironic.

Class rankings:

Top: Flying and DADA
Middle: Charms and Transfiguration
Bottom: Herbology and Potions

History: Michelle was born on January 1st, 1999 in Liverpool to muggle-born witch Katherine Perry-Jenkins and Pure-blood Antwan Jenkins. She grew up an only child, and despite coming from a lower middle-class family, was a bit "spoiled" in result. While being a half-blood, Michelle spent more time with her non-magical side of the family than her other side. Because of this, she is no stranger to "muggle inventions" nor does she discriminate based on blood status. From a young age, Michelle has has been taught by her parents to be tough and look after herself; they told her that no one would have her back like she has her back. As a result, she has a hard time trusting others, and often times puts herself first before others.

It came as no surprise when Michelle received her Hogwarts letter. Her parents had been teaching her things that she would need to know ever since she first learned to talk, after all. She'd heard many tales of the school from her parents, both Hogwarts Ravenclaw alumni, and was eager to find out if they were actually true. She and her parents know that she will excel both academically and socially.

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.

House:Ravenclaw
Pet:
A Russian Blue kitten named Amelie.

Amelie

Class Rankings(Core):

• Top: Transfiguration and Charms
• Middle: Potions and DADA
• Bottom: Flying and Herbology

History:
Skye was raised in muggle community without her father due to him divorcing her mother. She rarely sees him, mainly because he refuses to tell her mother where he lives.

Before her father divorced her mother, he 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 squib. They got along quite well and enjoyed spending time together.

When she got her acceptance letter, she was ecstatic. It took her and her mother a while to find the Diagon Alley (mainly because her father didn't tell Skye much about her magical origins), but once they found it they bought everything needed and more(Amelie, additional books etc.).

Before she came to Hogwarts, she wanted to become an writer or an photographer.

Edits

• Put her in Ravenclaw
• Changed Astronomy and History of Magic(Since they aren't required) to Tranfiguration and Charms
• Changed the CS layout

Vance Teuful

Name: Vance Teuful

Date of Birth: 5th February

Appearance: Vance has black hair with hazel eyes , his skin is fair but not extremely so. He is about 4'9 and weighs 90 pound

Blood Status: Pureblood

Personality: Vance is a crafty individual with a curiosity that is only matched by his spite. He is not somebody to forget if someone has crossed him but the reverse is also true, assuming that repaying them does not involve risking his own plans of course. Vance is no social butterfly but he isn't exactly the sort of person to stutter or fear interaction with others. While he still has a distaste for Muggle-borns, he is willing to get along with them if they acknowledge their 'inferiority. Despite his generally pessimistic and spiteful attitude, Vance always try's to remember his manners no matter who he is talking to.

Wand:

Elm with Dragonheart string,12 ½" in length, hard flexibility

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.

The unfounded belief that only pure-bloods can produce magic from elm wands was undoubtedly started by some elm wand owner seeking to prove his own blood credentials, for I have known perfect matches of elm wands who are Muggle-borns. The truth is that elm wands prefer owners with presence, magical dexterity and a certain native dignity. Of all wand woods, elm, in my experience, produces the fewest accidents, the least foolish errors, and the most elegant charms and spells; these are sophisticated wands, capable of highly advanced magic in the right hands (which, again, makes it highly desirable to those who espouse the pure-blood philosophy).

History:

History

Vance was born in East England to a wealthy pureblood family. While the family has always kept up a tolerant attitude for generations, the rise of Voldemort caused them to show their true colours, this resulted in the death of Vance's father during the Battle of Hogwarts. Fortunately his mother survived by claiming to be forced to join the Dark Lord by her husband. Vance was raised to hate those who had wronged his family, the auroras, the Order of the Phoenix and any others. After a time of consideration, Vance's mother decided Hogwarts was the best place for him to get, despite the fate of her husband in the school.

Vance's childhood was relatively unevenly, he was taught numerical skills and other essentials, how to play the violin and of his families heritage, beginning in Germany and eventually moving to England shortly after the Industrial Revolution.
