[ Allegra Reynolds ]



Name: Allegra Reynolds
Nickname(s): Please refrain.
Age: 17
Year: 7th
House: Ravenclaw
Blood Status: Pureblood

Patronus: Siamese Cat
Strongest Subjects: Charms, Arithmancy, Astronomy, Potions, Muggle Studies, Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, Transfiguration
Weakest Subjects: ...?
Hobbies: Chess, graffiti, causing quiet mischief.
Pets: Large toad named "Felix"

Appearance:
Hair: Dark brown, straight, just past her shoulders
Eyes: Gray
Build: Thin, delicate.
Height: 5'4"
Distinctive Characteristics: Large eyebrows, mischievous attitude, lack of speaking

Background:
Allegra is an only child in a family with a long history. Her family line dates back centuries and for the most part only includes Pureblood witches and wizards, but she has always had a quiet fascination of muggle culture and therefore has thrived in her Muggle Studies class as she does in most subjects. She is the first in her family line to be sorted into any house other than Slytherin.

Personality:
Allegra is most certainly called, "that weird Ravenclaw girl" more than her actual name. Most people don't know her, but often notice her in the background, quietly observing with an impish smile on her porcelain face. She always seems to be giggling at something no one else witnessed, and can often be found sneakily writing/painting/doodling when not completing school work. Allegra isn't necessarily the warmest girl you'll ever meet, but that's not quite the reason she doesn't have many friends. Perhaps it's her large, ever-staring gray eyes or her habit of never speaking or the way she explores the castle alone, ignoring all others. Either way, it's true that Allegra Reynolds really only has the Hogwarts ghosts for friends.

She doesn't speak much, preferring to make her mark through gestures, knowing looks, and drawings. Most of her peers rarely hear her speaking voice more than once every few weeks. She gets through classes with her supreme intelligence, and most professors don't force her to speak as they know her written homework will be dripping with genius. Don't confuse her quiet demeanor for a shy personality. Granted, Allegra doesn't socialize in the same way as her peers, but she lives quite boldly - often finding herself in trouble with administration for her "doodles" found all over school property.

Likes: Spray paint, neutral colors, inside jokes with Hogwarts ghosts and paintings.

Dislikes: Loud personalities, those who lack of intelligence, people who force her to speak.

Hobbies: Trying to free the hippogriffs from their corral, camping by the lake, sleeping in unusual places

Pets: Once had a fish named Gerald but released him into the lake in the hopes he might eventually become “king of all fish, of all time, ever”. Claimed the bowl was “keeping him from his destiny” and the bowl also needed weekly cleaning so “FO’GET THAAAAAT.”

Appearance:
Hair: Bronze-ish, rusty gold, grown out and wavy
Eyes: Mint green
Build: Thin, athletic, very tanned skin tone
Height: 5′11″
Distinctive Characteristics: Cat-like grin, taste for ill-advised adventure, lack of average logic and reason. Also, enjoys pizza.

Background:

Leo was born as an only child of two rather free-spirited parents who often spent more time travelling than with their son. Growing up with little structure, little company, and extravagant funding, he has always found comfort in new adventure to distract him from the boredom of life. As a result, he has an issue with keeping his attention on any one project at a time, and often prefers to spend money on useless things or explore many horizons most others would deem “dangerous” or “stupid” or “who-in-their-right-mind-would-even-think-to-do-that”. That’s where Leo flourishes. He’s not the best in his schoolwork, but not for lack of intelligence. Rather, he merely doesn’t have the patience for work he won’t use. (After Hogwarts, he plans to travel the world until his money runs out and promptly move into the woods to try and join the centaurs.)

Personality:

Some would call Leo off-beat, but he doesn’t seem to realize much of a difference between himself and his peers. He can be very strong-willed in his pursuit of what he wants, and at times conniving to get what he wants from others. He’s certainly spoiled by his lifestyle, and isn’t used to being told “no”. Granted, many things he wants, he gets. But when he doesn’t? Prepare for the fight of your life. As his name implies, he does roar when need be. (Literally, sometimes he roars at people…and hisses…really anything a cat might do. Including biting.)

He hangs around with a posse who inexplicably adores him and supports his ill-advised choices, making him somewhat of a Queen King Bee, and probably would've been voted Prom King if Hogwarts did that sort of thing. The carefree, fast-paced aspects of his unique personality attract others, and he often entangles innocent bystanders into his spontaneous adventures without realizing the repercussions it might have on those who can't buy their way out of trouble.

Likes: Astronomy, centaurs, his band ("Peripheral Pandemonium", he's the lead singer unfortunately) mermaids, pizza, colorful bracelets, singing a pop song lyric out of tune any time the professor turns around to the board, and then closing his mouth quickly when the professor looks back and then starting up again when they turn back around.

Dislikes: Annoying people, jealous ex-girlfriends, people who don’t enjoy pizza (”WHO DOESN’T LIKE PIZZA? WHAT ARE YOU? WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?”)
