Name: Olivia Nicole Rigsby
Age: 16
Appearance:

Olivia

Year: 5
Heritage: Muggleborn
House: Ravenclaw
Wand: Rowan and Thestrial hair, 8"
Bio: Olivia had always known there was something special about her. Ever since she was very young she had been able to do unexplainable things. Well, that is they were unexplainable till the day her letter from Hogwarts appeared. Her parents didn't know what to think, though they had had it with her trouble making ways. Olivia really wasn't trouble back then, her powers just happened to get her in trouble quite often.
Personality: Olivia is still a trouble maker, though this time it is completely justified. She likes to play jokes, and doesn't take any trash talk from anyone. She's been known to hex people in the halls for saying rude things about people she knows. They are not simple hexes either, she prides herself on her knowledge of complex hexes. When not causing trouble, Olivia can be found with her nose in a school book. Though she isn't the greatest about keeping to the rules, she is very diligent about her school work.
Friends/Family members/Relationships: (someone lets be friends before we start)
Favorite Subject: Herbology
Other: Olivia has a cat named Marley.

Also, Rune, it would be interesting if our characters were tentative friends pre-IC? I say tentative because Artemis tends would probably be wary when in the company of a deceptively friendly person. xD

Of course! I wouldn't mind at all~

Just reserving a spot here. :D

Name
Augustus Stoker

Age

Year
6

Heritage
Half-blood

House
Hufflepuff

Wand
Cedar, 9 1/2 inches, slightly springy in flexibility with a dragon heartstring core.

Bio
Gus grew up in a very stable household. His father, a Muggle, was vice president for an advertising department at a very prominent business, which afforded them quite a few luxuries growing up. His mother was a witch - which his father knew about all along - and stayed at home for the most part, occasionally doing some freelance writing for an editorial in The Daily Prophet.

The arrival of his letter didn’t come as a surprise, and within the summer, he was off to Hogwarts. He joined the Quidditch team as soon as he could, and discovered his talent for Charms and Transfiguration, and has since made a name for himself for his tell-it-like-it-is personality. Gus's affinity with magic was apparent even at Hogwarts. Although his book smarts aren’t quite what they should be (he'd much rather spend his time practicing Quidditch), he’s quite impressive when he puts things into practice. Still, he loves learning and tries his best when it comes to his grades. Gus has grown to love his house and embraces his badger side whole-heartedly. He’s just ready to get out of Hogwarts and start his life away from his parents, who he still gets Howlers and phonecalls from regularly. Though he's still undecided as to what he wants in life. Most of the times, he's tied between becoming an Auror or playing in professional Quidditch.

Personality
Gus has always been the happy-go-lucky kind of guy. He’s never understood some people’s need to constantly bring other people down, what happiness could it possibly bring them to see someone upset? He is in many ways the perfect companion. Affable, intelligent, and practical, he is definitely someone you’d want on your side in a crisis. He is unfailingly loyal to those he cares for, and exceedingly patient and sympathetic with those who need him in that capacity. He always manages to keep a calm cool demeanor, even if he’s panicking inside. Gus has never met anyone that he didn’t at first glance consider a friend. “Friend” being a term he uses very loosely. He’s always kind and caring and enjoys getting to know new people. Unless you give him reason to dislike you, he likes everyone. Even so, Gus can also be unpredictable, adamant, and dislikes making commitments, especially those he is not sure he can keep. While he may seem friendly, don’t push him too far. Even the nicest people have their limits. Don’t try to reach that point, you’ll regret it. Gus can be downright scary when he wants to be, and he has the magical prowess to back it up.

Name: Verlin Mackenzie

Appearance- Verlin has spiky hair with red tips. She styles it differently once a week, and wears yellow wolf eye contacts. She is pretty pale, and has a freckly face. She is overweight but stands at about 5 foot 7 which makes her look more evenly proportioned. She mostly wears all black, and on days when there is no class she wears a trench coat with a red wolf with black ears and paws. She wears a corset top underneath her trench coat, and black combat boots. She wears black pants most of the time. On school days she wears your standard Hogwarts uniform, but has sewn the red and black wolf into all her school robes, but it is in a battle crouch with it's hackles raised standing in front of an emerald snake in honor of her house. Sometimes she will transfigure wolf ears, complete with a tail and walk around like that all day. She wears her school robes open with the sleeves rolled up at all times, and she wears her tie nice and loss. She is often seen smirking, or full out laughing in contrast to her rather dark appperance. If ever a student looked like they were up to something it would probably be her.She has rather playful and predatory eyes, and sometimes makes her tail wag.

Year: second year(She started Hogwarts late)

Heritage: halfblood

House:Slytherin

Wand: Ebony dragonheart string 13 inches unyeilding

Bio:
Verlin's father died as an auror in an accident involving vampires when she was about ten. His favorite colors were black and red hence why she adopted her colors. Her mother was the bake cookies, play nice with the other kids type mom. Her mom was really accepting of the wizarding world, but she was the type of mom that went to your soccer game, but didn't understand anything about it, and would accidentally cheer for the other team. Verlin's mom Emily was excited about every aspect of the wizarding world, and often pawed over Verlin's books (Think Arthur Weasely). Verlin's mother seemed to be one of those helicopter parents, hence why Verlin took on the rebel persona.

Verlin was an odd child when it came to the wizarding world she got her powers later than all the other kids, and could not attend Hogwarts until a year later. She didn't want to let her father down so she did everything she could to not be identified as a squib. She seems to be behind in all other areas of magic accept for transfiguration. She felt an affinity for wolves so she learned how to transfigure ears and tail on to herself.

Personality:
Verlin takes on the rebel persona so her helicopter mom lets her be herself and do her own thing. She is fiercely hardworking and independent. Her biggest fear would be dissapointing her dead father, and she spends all her time overcoming challenges to honor his memory. She is sarcastic, and is always laughing and getting herself into trouble. She likes manipulating people even if it's to make them better themselves. Actually that is often what she uses her skills of manipulation for.

Even though she puts up a harsh sarcastic exterior she genuinely cares for people, but has no sympathy or patience for people who don't try to better themselves. Her motto is "I'll make it to the moon even if I have to crawl," and she tries to encourage others around her to be the same way. She is a good a listener, and will offer all the chances in the world if she thinks you deserve it. Even though she seems strong and stuff she keeps a journal, and is emotionally troubled by a lot of things. The prospect of ever being a parent freak her out but she acts really motherly toward her black and white squeaky cat named Ester.

Friends/Family members/Relationships?: Her mother Emily, Her deceased father

Favorite Subject: transfiguration

Other:likes martial arts so she might show an aptitude for defense over time.

her familiar is a black and white cat named Ester who clings to her a lot

here's my characterName: Isaak Boyars Age: 12Appearance:House: SlytherinYear: 2Heritage: PurebloodWand: Length: 12 1/2 inWood: HazelCore: DragonFlexibility: Slightly SpringyBio: His family is strongly tied to the Boyars of old eastern Europe who were among some of the most prestigious families in Bulgaria and Russia during the middle ages. The Boyars were not only powerful among the muggles of eastern Europe, they were also among the noblest of wizarding bloodlines in Europe. Isaak's family moved to England over two hundred years ago, and it was almost like a tradition to have a member of their family to attend Hogwarts of School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and they all went into Slytherin. Isaak was taught that the history of his family was one of the greatest among the wizarding families and to be proud of his heritage. Living his childhood with his brothers and sister was very good and grew very close to them. Being the oldest meant that Isaak had to be the one brave the unknown of becoming a first year at Hogwarts, and he was afraid of not being placed in Slytherin. His eleventh birthday came and he soon off to Hogwarts. He spent a good amount of the ride on the Hogwarts express, listening to other first years talk about all manners of challenges they would have to go through to be sorted. When they finally came to the castle, they were led into great hall and were shown the sorting hat. One after another, a first year's name was called and the hat would speak out loud, placing them in their house. When it was his turn to be sorted, his heart had been racing and he was nervous. When he sat on the stool and the hat was placed on his head, it began to talk to him. It said that he had a great amount of potential. The hat mentioned that he could do well in Gryffindor, but Isaak whispered that he truly wanted to be in Slytherin, and the hat guessed that, since he recognized his family heritage. The sorting hat then shouted out Slytherin and Isaak was overjoyed to be apart of the house. His first year was great, he liked his classes, especially charms and he liked occasionally exploring the castle. He is now about to start his second year, and he is hoping to have an even greater school year in his second year. He also has hopes of joining the Slytherin Quidditch team. Personality: Like with most Slytherins, Isaak is arrogant, ambitious and harsh when it comes to voicing his opposition against something he does not believe in. But despite those aspects of his personality, he does have good quality about him such as being very loyal to his friends and very determined to do his best at becoming a great wizard. He also holds his family in the highest regard and loves them very much. His views on muggleborns is not as ignorant as some of his fellow Slytherins but he does feel like they do not belong in the prestigious houses like Slytherin, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. He also looks down upon Hufflepuffs and thinks of them as underachievers. And finally, Isaak is incredibly proud to be a Slytherin and will argue fervently with anyone who insults the house.Friends/Family members/Relationships?: His parents' names are Feodor and Anya. He has two brothers and one sister, and their names are Dimitri, Alexei and Anastasia. Dimitri is eight, Alexei is nine, and Anastasia is ten. Because he is a pureblood, Isaak has a lot of magical cousins and he gets along fairly well with them. Since he is only twelve, he obviously is in no relationships with anyone and will have no interests in having a girlfriend until he is older.Favorite Subject: Charms Other: he has a pet ferret named Perun, after the Slavic god of lightning and fire.

I think I'll change to Hufflepuff to maybe balance things out a bit. I'm fine with either.
