Bryn Park

(Korean Name: Park Byung-hee)

"Don’t worry, your hair will go back to normal soon!"

| 11 | 1st | Gryffindor | She/her |

- APPEARANCE -

D E T A I L S

- HEIGHT: 4'5"
- WEIGHT: 83lb
- HAIR COLOUR: Brown
- EYE COLOUR: Dark brown
- ETHNICITY: Half Welsh, Half Korean
- BIRTHDAY: 14 May

D E S C R I P T I O N

At first sight Bryn is shorter than the average girl her age, though what she lacks in height she makes up for with personality. Bryn is almost always found with a wide grin on her rounded face, lighting up her entire expression. Her hair falls just past her shoulders, medium brown and often left in a mess. She’ll tie it up for sports or classes like potions but otherwise just lets it do as it pleases. Her skin is a light tanned brown shade while her eyes are dark brown, almost black.

When not wearing her school uniform, Bryn tends to favour hoodies and jeans to wear. She likes clothes that are easy to move and run about in and will rarely be found in a skirt or similar.

- PERSONALITY -

P E R S O N A L I T Y T R A I T S

Bryn is an incredibly cheerful, bright and friendly girl. She’s full of social confidence and finds it easy to make friends, often boldly approaching people she doesn’t know at all and starting a conversation. She’s incredibly playful and quick to crack a joke. Often this can be at the expense of others, however, as she has a quite the prankster streak. More likely to be making trouble than not Bryn is almost always getting on the wrong sides of the teachers or older students with her pranks. On top of being a troublemaker she’s very rebellious and stubborn, more likely to argue when she’s in trouble than apologise. Orders aren’t something she does well with.

Bryn is also very defensive of friends and those she’s close to, quick to jump to her aid. However this doesn’t always have a good result - Bryn is also quick to anger, especially if it is friends who are being offended. If someone does something she doesn’t like, to her or a person she’s close to, she’ll lose her temper after very little provocation. While this normally just results in shouting there have been times when she’s jumped all out with a physical fight. This only adds to her astounding ability to get in trouble. Still, when she’s not angry she’s an incredibly friendly and energetic person to be around.

- BACKSTORY -

Bryn was born in Cardiff, Wales, to a muggle mother and muggleborn wizard father, whose parents were muggle immigrants from Korea. She was their third child, with a three year older brother and two year older sister. She knew of the existence of magic thanks to her father from a young age and grew up in both worlds.

For most of her childhood she didn’t show much interest in the wizarding world, instead loving time with her non-magic friends at school and throwing herself into all sorts of muggle sports. When she was nine her father took her and her siblings to a quidditch match and it was then that she absolutely fell in love with the sport. From there on she begged her dad to let her learn to fly early (he refused) and then her brother, who had started at hogwarts.

While she was a bit frustrated that she was told she was too young to start learning to fly she threw herself more into the muggle sports she enjoyed, especially football and skateboarding, knowing that she wouldn’t get much of a chance when she had to properly enter the wizarding world. And indeed she got her Hogwarts letter just after she turned 11, getting ready to start at the school on September 1st.

Benjamin “Ben” Sallow

(a character image here)
"Quote."

| 11 | 1st | Gryffindor | He/Him |

- APPEARANCE -

D E T A I L S

- HEIGHT: 5’
- WEIGHT: 93lb
- HAIR COLOUR: Black
- EYE COLOUR: Dark brown
- ETHNICITY: Afro-English

D E S C R I P T I O N

Ben is a tall, gangly boy who is rapidly growing. He’s currently rather skinny even with his lean muscles from participating in a lot of sports as he grew up. His skin is a dark brown in colour and his dark hair is incredibly curly and afro like, kept cut short. He has a narrow face with high cheekbones and a sharp jawline along with a wide but well defined nose. When he’s not wearing school uniform Ben normally wears tshirts and jeans, along with a checked shirt on top.

- PERSONALITY -

P E R S O N A L I T Y T R A I T S

Ben is a boy with a high set of morals and strong sense justice, the kind of person who believes in doing good in your everyday life. He has little tolerance for those who would harm others to the point of being a bit overzealous and often even disliking more extreme pranks. He is fiercely protective and loyal to those he would consider friends but would gladly protect anyone in need. While Ben can be a bit judgmental in regards to what he views as wrong, with a bit of a black and white mentality, he’s still a rather jovial and friendly boy. He likes to spend time around friends and getting into friendly debates… something that can drive others up the walls. He’s the kind of person who would help others at the sacrifice of himself and views it as some kind of higher calling. He is very brave and would never, ever run from danger especially if he could protect others. However he does have a bad habit of holding others to the high standards he puts on himself.

- BACKSTORY -

Ben was born to two half-blood parents, both former Gryffindors. His mother was a member of the Investigation Department in the Ministry of Magic and his father works in the Improper Use of Magic Office. Their jobs in the ministry meant they were often busy and not at home, leaving Ben to help look after his younger brother and sister even at his own young age. However the family was very close and it was from his parents that he got his strong sense of justice. He spent a lot of time visiting his extended family, in particular his Uncle, Aunt and cousins who lived in Hogsmeade. He’s excited to start at Hogwarts but also anxious about the fact his Uncle is the Astronomy professor there.

Professor Sophia Sallow

Sophia Sallow

| 37 | Arithmancy Professor | Ravenclaw | She/Her |

Standing at 5’4”, Sophia stands at an average height. She makes up for this with a surprisingly powerful presence, even if her looks could be described more as cute than beautiful. She has aged well with a round, gentle face and slender, subtly curved body. Her hair is a long dark, straight brown that's often braided back, her skin fair and her eyes a sparkling blue. Outside of teaching robes she normally wears dresses or a knitted jumper, jeans combo.
Sophia is a charismatic but kind hearted woman, well loved by all those she meets. She is softly spoken but firm, rarely losing her temper but easily keeping her control over her class. She is incredibly intelligent and talented in her subject, something that she has pursued since she graduated from hogwarts long ago. She excels most in small groups or in pairs and is glad that her subject is often only taken by those who are truly passionate about it. Sophia is Cassian Sallow’s wife, the mother of Charlotte Sallow and Aunt of Benjamin Sallow.

Owen Park

Owen Park

| 14 | 4th | Gryffindor | He/Him |

The older brother of Bryn, Owen stands at 5’5” and is rather muscular. He’s got black hair and dark brown eyes, and light tanned brown skin. Owen is bright, cheerful and almost always smiling. He’s a bit more serious than Bryn is, something that came with maturity, and certainly not a troublemaker. He’s what could be seen as popular and almost always has people flocking around him and girls trying to go out with him. He’s a bit full of himself because of this and easily makes friends. Him and Bryn have a good relationship. He’s currently a Chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

Carys Park

Carys Park

| 13 | 3rd | Ravenclaw | She/Her |

Carys is the older sister of Bryn, and the quietest of the three siblings. She’s 4’11” and slim with long dark brown hair, medium brown eyes and light tanned brown skin. Carys is intelligent, serious and quiet. She’s one of the top in her year academically and especially excels at transfiguration. She’s very sensible and no nonsense and is quite likely to end up scolding either of her siblings, even her older brother, whenever she sees them. She’s fairly down to earth and sensible, fairly practical and in some ways very motherly to her two siblings. Carys is kind and hardworking but has a habit of being far too harsh. However, she is on good terms with her siblings even if they have a tendency to fight.

Sebastian Nott

Sebastian Nott

| 14 | 4th | Slytherin | He/Him |

Sebastian is a handsome boy, with neat blond hair and blue eyes that sparkle with intelligence. He has a sharp jawline and high cheekbones, with a narrow and slightly hooked nose and thin lips often curled in displeasure. He dresses in greens, blues, whites and blacks with a preference for clothes that err on the smarter side, such as button up shirts and smart trousers.
One of the most intelligent in his year, to the point of beating a lot of the Ravenclaw members, Sebastian is very smart academically and a gifted all rounder. On top of this he easily makes his way through socialisation with his experience in high society, knowing just what to say and when to say to get people onto his side. He is very diplomatic while holding fairly extreme purist views. However, while he looks down on Halfbloods and Muggleborns it is not an opinion he publicly voices (unlike his sister). He is well liked within his house, if somewhat disliked outside of it. He plays as a keeper on the Quidditch team and is Vivienne’s older brother.

Meilien Zhou

Meilien Zhou

| 16 | 6th | Ravenclaw | She/Her |

Meilien is a beautiful girl with long, dark brown hair which is naturally straight but she often curls. Her skin is a light golden brown and often adorned with eye makeup and lipstick. Her eyes are dark brown, sparkling with intelligence and wit and she stands at 5’3”. Meilien can normally be found in simple dresses or Asian street fashion when not wearing the school uniform.

Meilien is an intelligent and confident girl, with a certain charisma that has her surrounded by friends. She is as friendly as she is hardworking with a bit of a savage streak, though it is most often her younger brother who gets the brunt of this. She is sought out by many boys all of whom she turns down - she has no interest in dating at this time. Meilien is the seeker in the Ravenclaw quidditch team. Older sister of Liqin and Qiaohui, twin of Xiulan.

Xiulan Zhou

Xiulan Zhou

| 16 | 6th | Ravenclaw | She/Her |

The identical twin of Meilien, Xiulan is an equally beautiful if slightly shorter girl. Meilien is normally found with her hair tied up in a bun or pulled back in a ponytail unlike her twin sister who leaves it loose. Outside of uniform she wears dresses or comfortable sweater / knitted jumper and dress combinations.

Xiulan is slightly quieter than Meilien, with more of a bookworm attitude and intelligence. However she is incredibly close to her twin and the two are rarely found apart and share many friends. While she is more of a follower than a leader she is still very social, and has dated many boys (unlike her twin who rejects them). While she doesn’t speak as often Xiulan can often be the more savage of the two and is the one who keeps all her siblings in line. She is a Ravenclaw prefect. Older sister of Liqin and Qiaohui, twin of Meilien.

Qiaohui Zhou

Qiaohui Zhou

| 15 | 5th | Gryffindor | She/Her |

The sporty one of the family, Qioahui stands at 5’4” and the current tallest of the Zhou siblings. She’s often found outside running or in the quidditch fields, with her just past shoulder length black hair tied up. Her skin is a light golden brown and her dark eyes sparkle with mischief and joy, a smile almost always on her lips. She normally wears sweaters and shorts or jeans, anything that allows for easy movement.

Qiaohui is bright and somewhat abrasive, running through life without much of a care beyond her love for quidditch. She still manages to get good grades due to a natural intelligence but is nothing compared to her older siblings. Still she is well liked for her bubbly personality even if she never grew out of her enjoyment of pranks. Her biggest love is quidditch and she plays as a Chaser for the Gryffindor team, something she hopes to continue beyond graduation. Older sister of Liqin, younger sister of Meilien and Xiulan.

Charlotte “Charlie” Sallow

Charlotte Sallow

| 12 | 2nd | Ravenclaw | She/Her |

Charlotte is a slightly taller than average girl, with a bright look and a wide smile. She’s pretty, with a heart shaped face and medium brown skin. Her hair is a dark brown and incredibly curly. She often pushed it back with the use of a hairband or similar. Her eyes are light brown and sparkling with energy and intelligence. She normally wears tank tops and shorts in the summer, and hoodies and skinny jeans in winter.
Charlie is an intelligent but energetic individual. The sorting hat was torn between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor for her, but ended up with the former. She’s among the top in her year and incredibly passionate about knowledge, just like both her parents. However she is loud and boisterous with a daredevil streak. Charlie is often relentless with her teasing of friends and people she’s close to, her favourite person to wind up being her slightly younger cousin. The two are good friends, though, outside of this. Charlie is a beater on the Ravenclaw quidditch team and very talented at it. She is Ben’s cousin and Cassian Sallow’s daughter.

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

---

---

Maya had woken up the next morning after what felt like two hours of sleep and a night spent trying to find a position she could comfortably sleep in without pain in her side. She hadn’t succeeded at all. Which sucked, because Maya did not function well on less than six hours of sleep.

The night before she’d gotten home and pretty much collapsed for the night, but not before getting a phone call from Nina to make sure she was okay after the fight. Of course, Maya had completely lied that she hadn’t gotten any injuries at all - but it wasn’t like she was in that bad of a state. The conversation from there, however, was much more interesting. Nina filled her in on all the details of their run in with Kimberley Walton, a host of a show that Maya had heard of but personally never heard of.

So when she’d woken up, far too early for how little sleep she got, she’d researched into her and watched a few episodes. It was interesting, to say the least, but not exactly Maya’s cup of tea. Not to mention that she’d already experienced the supernatural. She was curious about exactly why the girl had checked out their coven, but research wasn’t going to help that.

Now all she wanted to do was take the day to curl up in bed and watch shit, but of course the coven wanted another meeting. What it was she didn’t know but it was always better to be involved in these things rather than skip out. So instead she forced herself to get up and get read, before heading out.

Lucky Strike Casino

Madison had just asked for help when Maya arrived, silently slipping in and taking a seat at the table while the others asked what the problem was and Madison began to explain. She was wearing normal clothes for her, a baggy knitted jumper and shorts, along with a pair of sunglasses that looked way out of place on a rainy day. But she’d rather look like a weirdo trying to be cool than show that black bags underneath her eyes that makeup had failed to cover. She nodded slightly at what Herik said. She wasn’t ready to risk her life to talk to what sounded like a furry grim reaper.

“That doesn’t sound morbid at all,” she muttered as Molly suggested finding someone who’s dying, before speaking up louder. “I don’t think just sitting watching someone who’s dead is a great plan… What do you want to do, turn up to a hospital and ask who’s closest to dying? Do we even know this Hound turns up for every death?”

She turned her head to look at Madison. “Not saying I don’t want to help, and I get that we all have our secrets, but you should at least tell us part of why you’re looking for the Hound. You know before we risk ourselves to help you find him…”

Not that Maya would actually agree to help if there was a risk. Research, finding people, she could do. Rocking up for a conversation with something that takes souls to the other side? Not so much.

Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

Honestly Maya should’ve expected this from an all out fight. There were a lot more vampires than she’d expected, some were fucking full on bat creatures flying in the sky and there was fire everywhere. She’d managed to hit one dude in the knees before she’d had to direct a blast of sound at him to push him away after he’d retaliated with a strong hit to her side, knocking her over. The resultant knock back had pushed her further away from the fight, something she was glad for.

She’d really overestimated her ability to fight in any way without her abstraction, which would risk causing more damage than Kayla would be happy with. But it was hard to beat people with a bat when the wielder was 5’2” and weak as shit.

Her hearing was just beginning to come back when Kayla shouted for all of them to get out of there. She was pretty sure that was gunshots she was hearing. She didn’t need to be told twice.

She ran off in the direction she’d come in, glad to reach her car and get out of there.

Dairy Queen

By the time Maya turned up to their meeting spot nearly everyone else had already gathered. She’d taken the time to pull a pastel blue dress she’d left in her car over the clothes she was already wearing, nicely covering the forming and rather nasty bruise on her side. She’d then waited a bit longer for her hearing to properly come back. She wasn’t exactly in a rush to meet all the others with her ears still ringing and her head spinning (the fact she’d driven a little bit away was an honest miracle).

Entering the place she noticed that everyone was looking various degrees of shit. Sin certainly seemed the worst off, almost as if she’d just woken up. Maya gave everyone a silent nod before going up to order the largest ice cream she could see on the menu. Once she got it she went back to sit with the group, plopping down and digging into her ice cream. Her lips twisted into a slight grimace from the grating feeling of people talking after such loud ringings in her ears, even as she tried to ignore it. This was why she tried to spend time in silence after using her ability. Still she forced herself to look at the other and add to a conversation she’d barely taken part in.

“Is Kayla not here yet? I get gathering to debrief and all but,” she glanced at Sin, “I feel like some of us could do with going home to recover soon.”

"Maya we get your power is being a bitch, but leave it for the vampires. There's bigger fish to fry then your subjective opinion, girl."

Riley

It was lucky for Riley that Claudette sent the entire room into darkness, muffling all sounds, before Maya managed to retort with something equally bitchy. Not that she gave a fuck about Riley’s opinion in any way - just didn’t want to let her think Maya was the kind to back down as soon as someone said shit about her.

So instead she gave an eye roll and middle finger to Riley once the darkness disappeared, turning her attention to Kayla.

She listened to everything Kayla had to say with occasional nods, quickly committing the time and location to memory (not that it was difficult for her). Roughing some vampires up sounded like the perfect way to kill some time later that day - definitely a good way to vent after a long and rather boring week. She couldn’t wait. She stood up, stretching out her arms and completely ignoring what other people were saying, until Nina turned to talk to her.

“Are you really going to go, Maya? What if someone gets hurt? I think this is really dangerous. I don’t want to abandon everyone but I don’t know.. I don’t think I could handle that.”

Nina

“Yeah, I’m going,” she replied with a shrug, before carefully placing a hand on the other girl’s shoulder and giving it a comforting squeeze. “You don’t need to come if you don’t want to, no one’s gonna force you. But think about it this way: these people tried to hurt Kayla, and will probably try again if we don’t do this. They ain’t the kind of people to listen to reason.”

She removed her hand and jerked her head in Agatha’s direction. “Looks like you’re not the only one who doesn’t want to go… you could stick around here and help clean up or something. Don’t worry about it, anyway, I doubt people will really get hurt. I gotta go get ready but fire me a text if you decide to come, I can give you a lift.”

Maya knew it probably wasn’t what Nina wanted to hear, but honestly it was much better than what she’d say in response to most people. Comforting or reassuring people was in no way her strong point but at least she’d tried. She would’ve just told most people to fuck off with their worries. Damn getting attached to that way too kind, slightly younger woman.

Before she actually went on to voice any of her thoughts she gave Nina a nod and a thumbs up, then headed out to her car. She had just enough time to get home and grab some shit before she had to head over.

Greenwood Estates

Maya rolled up just a little bit after the two hours was up, completely changed cause she certainly wasn’t about to fight some vampires in a dress. She’d dug right into the bottom of her drawers to pull up a pair of black leggings and a black cropped tank top, from the days when she’d gotten into running for her ex. Honestly she looked like some white girl following the latest fitness fad and she knew it. But it was exactly the kind of look she was going for - perfectly not her. The black mask she wore added to the all black look, which she’d honestly feel disgusted for wearing if it wasn’t basically as a disguise.

“I feel like I should’ve invested in a better bat,” Maya commented as she approached the small group that had already gathered, eyeing up Lyss’ aluminium baseball bat. Old she had was an old wooden one from bygone truant days when she first moved here - not that she expected to do much fighting with it when she had her powers. She continued in a joking tone, “I’m feeling a little inferior here.”

She then turned to Riley, eyebrows raising as she noted the necklace and suddenly was incredibly glad for the mask blocking too much of the smell. “Really, you made a necklace out of garlic? What are you going to do, throw it at them? I somehow doubt they’re going to be effective on actual vampires.”
