My CS is almost complete, I was working on it at work today instead of actually working :p and it is partially inspired by where I work.
When i finish it off tonight i'll edit it into this post - DONE
I've made the history of my character's family vaguely historicaly accurate.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
Name: Aoife inghean Domhnall -
Irish, pronounced ee-fa en-yan doh-nael, inghean was shortend to Ni, which means the same, in later centuries but in 1480 it was writen as ‘inghean (lowercase is correct). The meaning is Aoife, daughter of Domhnall. She is from a clan in ireland which does not use clan names when naming girls. She is from the Ó Flaithbheartaigh Clan (pronounced similarly to O'Flaherty in modern ireland) which I will give more information about in the Family section later.Age: 13
Appearance:
House: Wand: (still unsure why we dont get to pick our wands, we already have them by 3rd year)
This in chestnut (just a little darker)
Personality: (I dislike personality descriptions, I prefer a character's personality to be discovered and developed through the game, but I'll play along) Aoife is a shy girl when in public and even in small groups, onkly showing her true self when surrounded by only family or her two close best friends from home who she misses greatly. She is smart but does not offer up answers in classes unless asked directly, giving the impression to her classmates that she is of average ability. She is not afraid to talk to others but generally stays quiet unless addressed directly.
Bio: Born to the cousin of the head of the clan, Aoife’s family are well off but lead a quiet life. Her father is a landowner with several small properties whitch he rents out. He also owns a small fleet of fishing boats and one small trade ship.
Aoife has lead a quiet life with very little happening except in her ninth year when she was with her father at the docks, she spent a lot of time with her father. That day at the docks her father was meeting with some foriegn traders and one of the young men named christopher gave her a honeyed treat, later her father told her that he was a great sailor and that he wouldnt be surprised if he went on to great things saying,
"Mark my words, that Chris Colombus will be a household name in no time." ((
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1476_in_Ireland))
She always remembered the kind man who gave her the treat.
When she turned eleven her father send her on his trading ship to britain and had her enrolled at Hogwarts like her grandfather, her last magical ancestor since her parents are both squibs. The ship's captain left her there where she never felt she fit in after one year she recieved a letter from her father telling her that she must stay at hogwarts or find somewhere to stay until she had finished her time there. the next year at school was better, she started to enjoy learning magic and befriended the librarian who reminded her of the kind man on the dock three years previous ((I do not know if you have a character planned for the librarian, but it does not matter if it is male or female)). She enjoyed spending time in the library and reading the books which the librarian showed her. Since she kept herself to herself at school she has very little interesting past at the school.
Plotting:I think that her shyness can be exploited for good plot, forcing her into situations where she has to overcome it to work with others. I also feel that she is likely to be in a minority, being Irish, which could make for interesting plot development. Her family also has a history with dragons.
Family: Ó Flaithbheartaigh Clan - Ruling family in the Galway area of Ireland. The clan has a history of magic blood through out history, but has an unusual problem with squibs. many non magical children are born to magical parents and magical children are born to non magical parents. Due to this the Clan is not considered a pure blood family in magical comunities, despite all members of the clan having magical blood, however has had many strong and notible wizards and witches such as Flaithbertaigh Ua Flaithbertaigh, King of Connacht in the 11th century.
Thier coat of arms has embalzened upon it two red dragons and a black ship which speeks of thier strong maritime heritage and thier family reputation of being some of the greatest irish dragon handlers in history. They still have strong maritime presence in ireland and have strong buisness ties in Britain and Northern Europe.
