Ivy McKenna

Name: Ivy McKenna

Appearance:

Age: 27

Gender: Female

Blood Status: half blood. Dad is a muggle, Mom is a witch.

Hogwarts House: Griffindor

Personality: Kind, adventurous, brave, loyal, polite, understands the need for rules & regulations as well as the need for flexibility

Biography:
Childhood: Tired of his family’s rejection of his wife and life in the city, Brendan McKenna and his wife Cathleen moved away from Dublin when Cathleen discovered she was pregnant. Brendan had known his wife was a witch from the day he met her. He didn’t mind, but others clearly did.
Ivy grew up on Beare island in Ireland, and spent most of her free time wandering around the island, or taking the cable car to Dursey island. She always seemed different from other children and preferred the company of animals and nature over that of humans. Her childhood was happy, and rather uneventful. Her parents loved each other, and adored her. She was not spoiled, but truly loved.
Her talent for transfiguration became evident very early on. As a two-year-old, she turned her sippy cup into a proper goblet. She wasn’t a baby anymore, after all! Mom recognized her talent and helped her control it as much as she could. Accidents did happen, children who picked on Ivy tended to find their toys mysteriously broken, but never anything too serious. The older Ivy got, the more she gained control.

Hogwarts: When Ivy got her letter, her parents were so proud! And when Ivy was sorted in to Gryffindor, her mother’s old house, the joy was complete. Ivy was a diligent student, who showed an aptitude for Potions and Care for Magical Creatures besides her obvious talent in Transfiguration. She also showed considerable talent for non-verbal spell casting, and won her share of duels in her time. Playful and adventurous, Ivy never made head girl, but was loved by many Gryffindors. Ravenclaws admired her devotion to her studies, and Hufflepuffs liked her for her loyalty and kindness. She didn’t have much patience for Slytherins, and that feeling was entirely mutual. Of course this got her in trouble on occasion, but that was something she just had to deal with.

After Hogwarts: Ivy studied on and became a registered animagus, her alter ego is a beagle, and applied for a position within the Ministry for Magic. Being a halfblood, Ivy opted to draw on her strong suits and her knowledge of the muggle world. She worked in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts department for a number of years before returning to Hogwarts to teach Transfiguration two years ago. Ivy had considered refusing the Headmaster’s request, she considered herself too young to be a teacher, but had ultimately given in to the desire to be a part of that amazing institution.

Favorite Hogwarts Memory: When asked about her time at Hogwarts, two images instantly present themselves. Even if you’d put a gun to her head, Ivy wouldn’t be able to choose between them, though neither of them seem remarkably significant.
Ivy will never forget her first look at the castle that housed the school. Something about the way it stood there, illuminated only by the stars, the moon and a few torches made it seem like the most magical, homely place she had ever known. It appealed to her adventurous side, and she was filled with excitement and wonder, and instantly looked forward to all the adventures and lessons she’d be having in there.
Whenever Ivy thinks back on her days at Hogwarts, she remembers the time she spent with her friends. Hanging out in the common room, going to class, passing notes, sharing homework, secrets and family news, Ivy’s favourite memory of Hogwarts is simply how at home she felt there. How she felt like she belonged within these walls. That feeling, that’s why she said “yes” when the headmaster had asked her to come teach. Plain and simple.

Sorry it took me so long!!
I based Ivy's house on the count in the Character Tab! Should there be an abundance of Gryffindors, she'd work as a Ravenclaw as well, with a minor rewrite. Let me know!

The Marchand School of Sorcery

Lavender follows Mina's gaze across the room She seems as nervous as I am? Heh and watches her take it all in. Mina either did not notice Lavender's instinctive wish to vanish, or decided to let her get away with it.Maybe she gets that we're all nervous? I should check what room I'm in in a minute, and pick up my key. You should get something to eat? You must be hungry. Food is basically all you missed, you arrived just before the grand welcoming speech.

Lavender smiles again and considers Mina's comment about the tension in the room, and wonders how she can explain this without giving away that she understands so little of who everyone is and what happened earlier. She decides to just go with the basics. Tension, yes, some of the students come from families that don't see eye to eye. There was a brief scuffle, but I don't think anyone got hurt. Lavender made sure to keep her tone friendly. She did not want to drive the other girl away with her short answers.

Curious as she was about the other girl, Lavender decided not to bombard her with questions. Asking questions meant answering them in return, and Lavender didn't want to come off all ignorant and running-at-the-mouth on her first day, and to be honest, she still didn't feel very comfortable in this room full of people that seemed somehow connected. In spite of the fact that she was finally among other magical people, she felt more of an outsider than ever.

Smiling at Mina's growling stomach, Lavender addedI could watch your stuff while you check if there's any food left? I'll check what room I'm in when you get back and smiled as warmly as she could.
