Since he was a young child, Kenrick has always been considered a quiet, private sort of person. Most of the time, he is a man of very few words, unless he needs to speak to someone to get information or a statement for an article. Those who see a lot of Kenrick might describe him as stern, or even downright grumpy; this has been the case for almost his entire life.

While at Hogwarts, Kenrick witnessed and was affected by a whole lot of crazy and dangerous occurrences, all of which contributed to his negative feelings directed towards the school. Kenrick's father did not allow him to transfer out of Hogwarts, and so instead he remained at the school, journaling about his experiences and occasionally writing articles about Hogwarts which he sent anonymously to various wizarding newspapers and magazines in the hopes of getting them published (with varying degrees of success). Kenrick continued to write, mostly in the journals that he never allowed anyone else to see, up until he graduated Hogwarts, at which point he took a place on a Journalism/Literatures studies at Wizarding University.

While at university, Kenrick wrote for several student publications and took a job as a freelance manuscript proofreader for a few publishing companies, and by the time he graduated WU had also made a name for himself as a freelance journalist for various wizarding publications. After a short while travelling with his then on-off girlfriend, Pandora (who would later become his fiancée, and shortly thereafter became his ex-fiancée), Kenrick returned to London to settle down and look for steady work. He had continued as a freelance writer since leaving university, but eventually applied to be a full-time writer at the Daily Prophet. He began working there in Summer 2081.

His charming good looks can come in handy with his journalism needs, so he says. He is a very easy person to talk to and get to know.

Jorge is the second oldest in a family of four children. He had a very loving and happy childhood with his parents and two sisters until his very much younger brother came to be. As a student he met a girl the same age when he was sixteen and fell fast and hard in love for her. They dated through out school and once graduation was upon them decided to go to Uni together. He was torn between law enforcement and writing. On the day they were to leave for Uni Jorge walked in on Nita kissing another guy which ended the relationship an broke Jorge's heart. He found comfort in writing and followed that comfort into a career as a journalist which he found with his looks an creativity he was very good at. He liked to find facts about harder to write things, things that would push buttons and find truth, hence his cutting edge stories against popular places. He never had a serious relationship again.

REPORTER ▸▸ VICTORIA BUNBURY
(BanaBatGirl)

Certain family members have remarked that Tori bears a striking resemblance in behavior to her cousin Anastasia. Interestingly enough, Victoria has only met Annie on a handful of occasions. That being said, Tori still aspires to be the next big Bunz, although the twenty year-old is still her own person. She will always have a piece of Drooble’s Best Blowing Gum either in her mouth or in her bag at all times; she hates chocolate; her favorite color is pink; her favorite lip gloss flavor is strawberry; and she is an exceptional reader and writer, but hates people knowing her smart side.

Loud, spoiled, adventurous, cocky, and snarky are the best words to describe her.

Born and raised in Beverly Hills, California, USA, Victoria – or Princess Tori as she prefers – was raised absolutely spoiled in a giant mansion with her twin brother Aleksander for the first twelve years of her life. After Tori's father married a “Super British” trophy wife on her thirteenth birthday, Tori elected to leave her mother's bohemian abode and to move in with him in the English countryside. She attended Hogwarts for one year, in which she made many friends and an older boyfriend, until her father decided she needed to be as far away from the boys as possible. He sent her off to France to attend Beauxbatons, a scheme Tori was convinced her stepmother came up with, and Tori eventually graduated from there as a prefect of her year.

She spent some time traveling and drifting around after graduation, and having had her heart broken by Paulie 'the ex' Foster, Tori had little desire to join the adult world. Eventually, her friends and her family pushed her to apply for a local job in Diagon Alley, and she wound up joining the staff of the world-class Daily Prophet. Tori thinks it's 'alright' and 'pays for her shoes' but she's actually more interested than she lets on. Just don't cross this ginger or spill your coffee on her OOTD (outfit of the day) and you'll get along with her just fine.
