Welcome Arlear! Your CS is accepted. Nice work, your history section wasn't as bad as you think. And we have another male character! :D
I have to work on the Ravenclaw girl's (Lydia, in memory of Artsydaze) CS but I'll post up Nym, Grant, Dale, and Max (for you, Imp) right now.
Name: Maximilian Moonborn
Gender: Male
Blood Status: Half Blood
Appearance: Max is 5'11 with blonde hair, blue eyes and unkempt stubble. His complexion is fairly pale due to spending way too much time indoors as well as a lean body structure.
Personality: Despite being placed in Slytherin, Max is genuinely a polite, and kind individual. He can be quite empathetic and considerate towards others, with a tendency to put their needs before his own. He's the kind of guy that will lend you a book, item, or even give you his own lunch without a second thought. His naive motives for success influenced his placement into the Hogwarts house, but his blood status was a cause of bullying and misunderstanding with students from different houses.
History: Max is an Irish-born half-blooded wizard. He was born to a pure blooded father, and a Muggle mother. Much of his upbringing took place in the Muggle world, at his mother’s insistence. She felt it important for her son to see the benefits and drawbacks of being both a wizard and a Muggle, especially after the events leading to Lord Voldemort's first defeat. Due to this, Max has a deep appreciation for the Muggle culture, and a special interest in the technology that is used to achieve some of the same menial tasks that the wizards take for granted. Max tends to excel at whatever catches his interest and has a knack disregards everything anything he finds menial. However, he has a mind for storing, even the most trivial information. While he may not always understand what he's talking about, he usually tends to know something about everything. Hardly surprising for a wizard that knows how to use Wikipedia.
This is especially reflected in his studies. His fascination with the Muggle culture, History, Runes, Animals and Spells has led to him attaining a N.E.W.T level in each of the mentioned studies. Although he does need some time to jog his memory, much in the same way a student forgets subject matter once they know an exam is over; his other studies ranked O.W.L. level. His slight interest was just enough for him to retain knowledge in his passion for observing.

Wand: 12 1/2 Inches, Cherry & Dragon Heartstring, Quite Flexible.
Alma Mater: Slytherin
Name: Grant Dewitt
Gender: Male
Blood Status: Halfblood
Appearance: He is a lean young man, with short brown hair and green eyes. He has a well-built frame and recently tanned skin. He tends to keep clean, but like most sport lovers, he can’t wait to play dirty. His favourite article of clothing would have to be his Henley.
Personality: Grant is an active guy. He is energetic and is always doing something. He believes in living every moment to its fullest. There is so much that he wants to add to his experience that it makes no sense to him to spend any time doing something that's not either fun or productive. He enjoys the feeling of a job or task completed, as well as the benefits of rewarding himself for a job well done. He's generally friendly and full of energy. As such he has a good group of friends and acquaintances, though some find him cocky and annoying. They may be right. He is a confident guy. He knows what he wants, and as far as he's concerned, he knows he can get it. He's considered to be quite the heartbreaker, and proud of it.
History: Grant was born to a muggle father and a witch mother. Growing up a half-blood, he felt he got to see the best of both worlds. Being the youngest of five, he came into the family well after his father had grown used to the magical world. Being the youngest also meant that he was often fighting for attention. He was an energetic little kid and he often got in trouble.
Then it was time to go to Hogwarts. Grant fell in love with the school. From exploring the huge castle grounds to interacting with the students, there was always something to do. However, it was clear within his first day that learning was not going to be easy for him. Although he learned to study efficiently, it always took a lot more effort for him than most to do well in nearly all the classes. The only subjects that naturally made sense to him were Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology. His love for the creatures was instant. For all the time he spent studying for his classes, he spent just as much in the corrals, exploring the grounds, and just talking to his Care of Magical Creatures professor. In time he even talked his way into accompanying various staff members on their business in the Forbidden Forest. He often impressed them with his knowledge, and just as often made them suspicious of his surprising familiarity with the forest.
Grant was thankful that he was capable of managing his time so well. Otherwise his studies would have definitely kept him from Quidditch. He joined the team in his third year. His energy as well as the bulk he'd been gaining made him a top-notch Beater. He had a great time on the team, bonding and training with his teammates. His effort and devotion to the team paid off in his sixth year when he became Quidditch Captain. He definitely enjoyed the attention it got him from the girls. Overall his time at Hogwarts was one of spending time wisely and making the best of each moment. He now stands ready to begin the rest of his life. He seeks to travel the world, studying various creatures. But before that, there's this time for one trip with his friends to get a broad glimpse of the world he's throwing himself into.

Wand: 11 1/2 inches, Chestnut with Dragon Heartstring, reasonably supple.
Alma Mater: Slytherin
Name: Nymia Strix.
Gender: Female.
Blood Status: Pure Blood.
Appearance: Nymia is a petite beauty. She is 5' tall and weighs only 90 lbs. Her olive skin rarely burns and she has faint freckles on her cheeks and nose. Her eyes are large, heavy lidded, and brown. She has short brown hair that unpleasantly sticks out behind her ears and neck. She dresses very punk/hipster, as well as, very warm, and can be a bit of a slob with personal hygiene. She also wears sunglasses late into the evening, and hates bright light in the mornings.
Personality: Nymia is very reserved and shows little emotion. She doesn’t shrink from threats, challenges, difficulties or pain, and acts on convictions, which can make her very intimidating. She loves to master new skills, topics, and bodies of knowledge, whether on one's own or formally through education. However, she has moments of apathetic disinterest and shows no sympathy or concern about certain things, she finds pointless to learn. She lacks and fears to trust people. Once she has made up her mind, she will learn failure or success from the consequences. She will not change her attitude or position on something in spite of a good argument or reason. If she is confronted, she will not hesitate to use her sharp wit and attitude, nevertheless, she was never much of a fighter, and abstains from physical contact. Unlike most students, she is a chain smoker, and picked the habit up during holidays in Muggle London.
History: Nymia Strix was born at
Strix Manor in 1995. By the age of six months old she showed talent in Metamorphmagus and by the age of one she could change small characteristics about her appearance, such as hair colour. Her mother Honovina Wappes was a Pureblood witch, as well as half British and half Chippewa Native American. The meaning of her name is derived from the masculine form of Honovi; meaning Snake Priest, which was no surprise when she ended up in Slytherin. Throughout most of her later years of married life, she was put under the Imperius Curse and not until after the birth of her daughter did she resist. Her father Garnett Strix was a Pureblood wizard as well, despite being disowned and removed from the family tree by his Great-Grandfather, Phineas Black II. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and sent to Azkaban for killing his wife and for his active participation as a Death Eater.
Nymia was taken in by her only living relative; Her mother’s lunatic brother. Elpis Wappes was a bit off his rocker but when it came to protecting his neice, he was a wizard (pun intended). He moved them to a small fisherman’s island in Italy; Isola dei Pescatori; where no one could find them. Although it is considered against Wizarding laws, he put her on an easy learning regime of making potions and antidotes, as well as a Veritaserum Antidote. A few months after his imprisonment and during the high security breakout of Azkaban, Garnett Strix was among those that escaped and went searching for his daughter. He eventually found them and murdered Elpis in an attempt to take Nymia with him, when he re-joined with the Death Eater’s. She was saved by two Auror’s who hunted him down and he was forced to disapparate back to London. Garnett was captured and killed two years later during the Second Wizarding War in 1998.
Nymia was moved to
Number Nine Newington Way, Borough of Southwark, London and put in the care of a Squib guardian, Aggie Haworth. Despite being underage after her uncle’s death and father’s previous imprisonment, she inherited two new house elfs, a pet Lynx, and a substantial amount of money from Elpis’ will. Haworth put her into many Muggle schools until she turned 11. On her 11th birthday, Haworth gave Nymia the elegant wand her uncle had bought for her before his death, but it was said to hold no magical power, so they bought her a new one before her enrollment at Hogwarts. The heartstring of an Adlet clearly had magical abilities but she never used the wand and forgot all about it until after she left Hogwarts an returned to Strix Manor for the first time in 18 years. She graduated as a Gryffindor and regardless of the mundane lives they led during her younger years in Muggle school, she admired their knack for technologically advanced communication and entertainment. Even though she loved learning in general, her favourite subjects at Hogwarts where Potions, Charms, and Defence Against the dark Arts. Although she loved the class, she preferred to gather information for Muggle Studies by firsthand-experience and reading novels of all genres on her return home on the holidays. As for her social interaction at Hogwarts, she was that shy, loner that was always bullied or made fun of by the Slytherin's. Particularly the nickname 'nimrod'.

Books
Name: Dale Wilfrid
Gender: Female
Blood Status: Pure blood
Appearance: She is very tall and slener, with a wild bush of red hair. She has hazel eyes and wears large glasses. Her fashion trends always include a bag of some kind and long stockings or socks. She could be considered a hipster in the 21st century.
Personality: She is fairly quirky, hyper, and goofy. In a sense
ESFP, like her father. Always caught chewing gum and she loves to draw absrtact art. She can see a picture in anything, but it always happens to look and be something very odd.
History: Pure blood, Cindra Ward, ran away to Australia to pursue her dreams. She hated the idea of working for the ministry, and dreamt to become a trainer of wild magical animals. After two years she eloped with the Aussie, Werner Wilfrid. Due to his profession as an Auror, he left behind, a single mother, and an eccentric, six year-old daughter. Dale was then taken to England, where her mother sought forgiveness and help. Her education was held at home before her years at Hogwarts, but she spent a great deal of her time, exploring the community. She was taught to always seek beauty in every dark situation, but her lack of talent with jokes always made the situation more awkward than before. Despite her personality, she wasn't too ridiculed in her small town, Flintshire, Wales. After her arrival at Hogwarts, she faced many years of torment and was mainly bullied by the Slytherin and Ravenclaw girls. She was a gifted Keeper that finally brought Hufflepuff the house cup in her fifth years.

Name: Lydia Chadwell
Gender: Female
Blood Status: Halfblood
Appearance: She is the attractive, 6’ tall, pale and slender, blonde, blue eyed, Head Girl. Very clean and proper, wearing Muggle name brand designs. She is obsessed with fashion, jewelry, shoes, accessories, and bags. She cannot leave her room unless she has fully applied cosmetics.
Personality: She feels she has earned her place as Head Girl, and never saw much use for power. She is a gossip hen, and very intelligent, although she hides it well. As a very hard working and charismatic individual, she petitioned for many students to join her in the war of House-elf rights. Unlike Hermione, Lydia had successfully acquired signatures from most of her Ravenclaw house members. We can say, she loves the sound of her voice, and needs reminding, to shut up. Her character was all influenced from experiencing the loss of her mother, shortly after the death and capture of all the remaining death eaters. With that said, she has always strived for justice and order.
History: Lydia was born to a very affluent family. Mr. Chadwell worked in the MoM, in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Mrs. Chadwell had died while Lydia was very young. Before receiving her letter, she was a very quiet and observant child. Not afraid to accompany her father through Muggle cities, but too shy to communicate with strangers. The relationship between her father is very strong, however, during her last two years and constant work, they have lost their bond.
After her arrival to Hogwarts, she was placed in the Ravenclaw house, where she made friends with the two Wight sisters. Her hobbies include making cherry blossom flowers with her wand, and reading gossip magazines for both Muggle and Wizard alike. Throughout her remaining years at Hogwarts, she gained much popularity and had many friends. She was respected by all of the professors, and had little enemies. Keeping up with her fame and relationship with Hufflepuff seeker, Logan O'Lynch, caused a great effect on her studies, but she managed to pass the bare minimum requirement for graduation with Logan’s help.

Bravo to you, Arlear. The bit about the guy looking like a swimsuit model made me cringe, though, honestly... I have a mixed opinion about the sheet overall, but if it's good enough for Vena, you know, whatever. She's da boss.
